David Dennison loves playing jokes and making people laugh. But on Tuesday, he found himself in the unusual position of being the brunt of many wisecracks when porn star (and alleged former Donald Trump mistress) Stormy Daniels filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump — and revealed the former reality star went by the pseudonym “David Dennison.”
“Yesterday I started getting a deluge of people telling me on Facebook, in texts, some coming from people I haven’t spoken to in years that I am the alias for Donald Trump and Stormy Daniels,” says Dennison, a 58-year-old importer of automotive accessories from Mendham, New Jersey.
“I would love to know who came up with my name,” Dennison says. “If you are going to use an alias, isn’t John Doe or Fred Smith better than David Dennison?”

Daniels filed the civil suit against Trump claiming that the nondisclosure agreement she signed shortly before the presidential election to allegedly keep quiet about their affair is invalid.
In court documents filed in Los Angeles on Tuesday and publicly shared by her attorney on Twitter, Daniels states she and Trump had multiple sexual encounters, including at a July 2006 golf tournament in Lake Tahoe and “well into the year 2007.”
She accused Trump of not signing the NDA and thus “rendering it legally null and void and of no consequence.”
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, reveals in the suit that Trump used the pseudonym “David Dennison” or “DD” in the agreement, according to court documents.
“Mr. Trump did not sign,” Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, said Wednesday on Today. “We believe that that was so that he could later claim deniability, and therefore, from a legal perspective, we believe she’s free to talk.”
