Well,France Archives this is certainly a turn of events.

Adult film star Stormy Daniels released a statement denying allegations she had an affair with Donald Trump, just in time for the president's State of the Union address on Tuesday night and Daniels' appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Daniels has been under the spotlight due to a Wall Street Journalarticle that claimed she was paid $130,000 to keep quiet about an extramarital affair with Trump in 2006.

Then there was the release of an interview transcript, which goes into the frankly unsettling details of their alleged encounter. But now she says none of it is true.

"Over the past few weeks I have been asked countless times to comment on reports of an alleged sexual relationship I had with Donald Trump many, many, many years ago," the statement reads.

"The fact of the matter is that each party to this alleged affair denied its existence in 2006, 2011, 2016, 2017 and now again in 2018. I am not denying the affair because I was paid ‘hush money’ as has been reported in overseas owned tabloids. I am denying this affair because it never happened."

The statement also sneaks in a mention of her Instagram account, as you do.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

In a promo for Daniels' appearance on Kimmel, she jokingly revealed a doll with its mouth taped shut when asked a question about where Trump touched her.

Interestingly, Daniels brushed off Kimmel's question about the vastly different signature in the latest statement compared to previous autographs.

"It doesn't look like your signature," Kimmel asked. "So you're saying perhaps this letter was written and released without your approval?" Daniels shrugged and said she didn't know where the different signature came from.

While Daniels wrote in her statement that there would be "no further comment" on the matter, she spoke about the time Trump featured three women who accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault in a 2016 press conference.

"Odd? No. Dirty? Yes," she said. "I know a lot about dirty, and I wouldn't do that."
