Heidi Gutman/ABC  by [Katie Reilly](https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/)  ## Katie Reilly Updated: Dec 12, 2023 8:31 PM UTCPublished: Apr 17, 2018 4:23 PM UTC Adult film star [Stormy Daniels](http://time.com/5220087/donald-trump-underestimated-stormy-daniels/) and her attorney appeared on ABC’s _the View_ on Tuesday to reveal a sketch of the man who she says threatened her to keep quiet about her alleged affair with President Donald Trump. Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, also offered a reward of $100,000 to anyone who can identify him. “His face is burned in my memory,” Daniels told the hosts of the talk show. The sketch was completed by [Lois Gibson](https://loisgibson.com/), a forensic artist whose sketches have helped law enforcement officials identify more than 750 criminals, according to her website. In an [interview on _60 Minutes_](http://time.com/5215421/stormy-daniels-60-minutes-ratings/) last month, Daniels said she was [threatened by an unidentified man](http://time.com/5215078/stormy-daniels-donald-trump-threat/) in a Las Vegas parking lot in 2011 and told to keep quiet about her alleged affair with Trump. On Tuesday, Avenatti asked people to email IDthethug@gmail.com with any information about the man.  A composite sketch of the man Stormy Daniels says threatened her in a Las Vegas parking lot in 2011 to remain quiet about her affair with President Trump Michael Avenatti via AP Daniels, whose legal name is Stephanie Clifford, described the threat to Anderson Cooper during the _60 Minutes_ interview. “A guy walked up on me and said to me, ‘Leave Trump alone. Forget the story,'” she [said](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/stormy-daniels-describes-her-alleged-affair-with-donald-trump-60-minutes-interview/). “And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, ‘That’s a beautiful little girl. It’d be a shame if something happened to her mom.’ And then he was gone.” Daniels said she had a consensual sexual relationship with Trump in 2006 and received a $130,000 payment from Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen, days before the 2016 presidential election to keep quiet about the alleged affair. Trump has denied the affair and [denied knowledge](http://time.com/5230105/donald-trump-stormy-daniels-payout/) of the payment. Daniels is suing Trump in an effort to invalidate a nondisclosure agreement, and she expanded her lawsuit to [sue Cohen for defamation](http://time.com/5216177/stormy-daniels-sues-trump-attorney-michael-cohen-for-defamation/). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5243126/stormy-daniels-donald-trump-threat-sketch/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5243126/stormy-daniels-donald-trump-threat-sketch/"},"headline":"Stormy Daniels Reveals Sketch of the Man She Says Threatened Her Over Trump Affair","datePublished":"2018-04-17T16:23:32.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-12T20:31:21.000Z","description":"\"His face is burned in my memory\"","url":"https://time.com/5243126/stormy-daniels-donald-trump-threat-sketch/","keywords":["Donald Trump","Television","White House","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5bbfb658831baf0b/69892dd886f68e7a1f6e8e75/stormy-daniels-trump-the-view-sketch.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katie Reilly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5bbfb658831baf0b/69892dd886f68e7a1f6e8e75/stormy-daniels-trump-the-view-sketch.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"STORMY DANIELS, MICHAEL AVANATTI, SUNNY HOSTIN","caption":"STORMY DANIELS, MICHAEL AVANATTI, SUNNY HOSTIN","creditText":"Heidi Gutman/ABC","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5243126/stormy-daniels-donald-trump-threat-sketch/","name":"Stormy Daniels Reveals Sketch of the Man She Says Threatened Her Over Trump Affair"}}]}] ```
