Stormy Daniels finally got to speak her piece in a sit-down interview with Anderson Cooper on "60 Minutes" Sunday night about her alleged affair with Donald Trump, and it certainly looks like Hollywood tuned in.
Many celebrities took to Twitter throughout the evening to comment on the highly anticipated interview with the porn star who alleges she's been the victim of threats and intimidation tactics to keep silent. Lena Dunham was among those seemingly standing in Daniels' corner, calling her "powerful," while Alec Baldwin was slightly critical. "No offense to Stormy Daniels, but that interview provides no worthwhile insights into 'the problem,'" he tweeted. Bette Midler called the TV special "riveting," and Patricia Arquette applauded her for having "the balls" to do interview knowing Trump's legal team would come after her.

Stormy Daniels Claims She Was Physically Threatened And 5 Other '60 Minutes' Revelations
View StoryAside from detailing some of the more lurid and sensational claims of her alleged one-night stand with the president, including magazine spanking, lack of a condom and the fact she didn't want to sleep with him, Daniels also talked about a man she says threatened her in a Las Vegas parking lot, and how Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, is now doggedly suing her for violating the terms of a non-disclosure agreement she signed, even as she asserts it is invalid because Trump never penned his signature on the document.
Most of Hollywood's elite appeared to be standing in Daniels' corner, with many believing that this is just the beginning of a headache for the White House. As Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti pointed out on "60 Minutes" and elsewhere, this isn't about the sex so much as it's about the cover-up and intimidation tactics used to try and silence Daniels.
Captain America Slams 'Fox News and It’s Goblin Army' for Not Dragging Trump Over Stormy Daniels
View StoryBelow are some of the more pointed -- and funniest -- tweets in response to the Stormy Daniels interview. While Donald Trump has never said her name directly in a tweet, he did tweet that "Fake News" has "never been more voluminous or more inaccurate" on Monday morning, which certainly could be related. Also of note, Melania Trump's spokesperson, Stephanie Grisham, sent out a tweet Monday morning asking the media to please keep Melania's son's name out of their stories, without addressing any of the particulars of the story itself.
So much Fake News. Never been more voluminous or more inaccurate. But through it all, our country is doing great!
@realDonaldTrump
While I know the media is enjoying speculation & salacious gossip, Id like to remind people there's a minor child who's name should be kept out of news stories when at all possible.
@StephGrisham45
One has a sense that the Stormy Daniels interview tonight was but the first squalls of a gathering tempest.
@DanRather
The Stormy Daniels story isn't about Trump having an affair with a porn star. That's not news. It is about his campaign trying to threaten, intimidate and illegally use campaign funds to buy her silence just weeks before the election. Don't let the lurid details overshadow this.

From now on, if you're going to watch porn, please watch Stormy Daniels so we can get her paid for how hard she's going to get sued by the president tomorrow.
@WhitneyCummings
To everyone minimizing @StormyDaniels interview. I doubt any one of you would have the balls to do it. Knowing that you would be sued.
@PattyArquette
No offense to Stormy Daniels, but that interview provides no worthwhile insights into “the problem.” Nothing.
@ABFalecbaldwin
The only solution to “the problem “ is to organize.
And then vote his lying, corrupt, incompetent ass out of office.
November is coming...
#StormyDaniels was riveting, but the next story about #IannisTheGreekFreak brought us all to tears. God Bless America, indeed. On both counts.
@BetteMidler
60 minutes reveals more of same -trump a gangster - engages world through gangster ethics - totaly unfit for office - not worth mentioning all the laws he breaks as there's too many to number- a vast pattern /picture of a deranged criminal who must be removed from power -now
@johncusack
Hearing Stormy Daniels talk about how she didn't want to sleep with Trump but did made me feel sad.
@ambermruffin
Going to someone's room with them is not an agreement to have sex.
Consent has no point of no return. You can say no whenever it stops being fun.
Lots of Stormy Daniels jokes over the last few months, but seeing her talking about how difficult this has been for her child is heartbreaking.
