Stormy Daniels claims she quit Celebrity Big Brother as producers were ‘trying to control her and make her act in a way she felt uncomfortable with’
STORMY Daniels has revealed the REAL reason why she quit Celebrity Big Brother at the last minute was because of a row with producers.
Her lawyers claim bosses were pressuring her to act "in a way she felt uncomfortable with."
The adult film star, who found fame over claims she was paid for her silence over an alleged affair with Donald Trump, had been widely expected to feature in the Channel 5 show.
But on Thursday night she failed to join celebrities including Rodrigo Alves, Roxanne Pallett and Jermaine Pennant inside the CBB house.
Lawyer Michael Avenatti told the Press Association: "It was over a row with producers.
"They insisted she conduct herself in a certain way - they attempted to control her and produce a certain result, which she did not feel comfortable with."
CBB did not deny a row with producers, and said Stormy told the production team "hours" before the show was to air that she no longer wanted to participate as agreed "several months" earlier.
A spokesman added: "Producers discussed a variety of options with her but were unable to agree any acceptable conditions for her entering the house.
Stormy, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, then failed to appear on ITV's Loose Women on Friday despite turning up at the studio ahead of filming.
The 39-year-old former porn star arrived at the studios at midday today to talk about her CBB walk-out but it was claimed she couldn't appear due to legal issues and "concerns about her daughter's custody arrangement".

Instead, panellist Jane Moore appeared and revealed what Stormy claimed was the real reason she quit CBB.
She said: "This is her side of the story. Late last night, she showed me the emails, there was a custody development involving her seven-year-old daughter.
"And she thought, 'I can't commit to being in the house.'
"What she wanted to do allegedly, she said being a mother comes first. She said I will go on the live show and to explain why I am not going into the house.
"That was all agreed and suddenly it wasn't."
"Now I have not had a chance to speak to Channel 5, it has now become a legal situation. She has been told she can't talk to us."
Furious Channel 5 bosses have since released a statement explaining that Stormy simply said she no longer wished to enter the house.
In a statement released to The Sun Online, they explained: "We note the comments from the transmission of Loose Women on ITV earlier today.
"Stormy Daniels was booked to appear on the show several months ago and hours before the show was due to go live, informed the production team that she no longer wished to enter the house as previously agreed.
"Producers discussed a variety of options with her but were unable to agree any acceptable conditions for her entering the house.
"Our focus is now on making a brilliant series with our fantastic celebrities.”
Stormy made international headlines over claims the president's then personal lawyer Michael Cohen paid her hush money days before the 2016 election to stop her claiming she had an affair with a married Mr Trump in 2006.
The president denies the allegations.
