Adult entertainment star Stormy Daniels says hosting OUTtv’s gay dating reality series For the Love of DILFs is the best job she’s ever had, and she cannot wait for audiences to see what’s in store for Season 2.
Presiding over a new cast of “Himbos” (attractive young men) and “Daddies” (handsome older gentlemen), as they search for love and compete for a $10,000 cash prize, the show became an instant hit for its larger than life cast, hilarious challenges, heartfelt romance, and of course, jaw dropping fights. Season 2 is upping the game with new twists and turns, and Daniels even finds herself in the middle of the drama.
For the Love of DILFs is the most streamed original ever on OUTtv, encompassing the network’s 22 year history.
Season 2 premiered on January 23, 2024, with new episodes dropping weekly, and Daniels took some time to talk more about the series and her hosting gig with OutClique.
Denny Patterson: Let me begin by asking, how excited are you for Season 2 of For the Love of DILFs?
Stormy Daniels: I am way more excited about Season 2 than I was for Season 1 (laughs). I was terrified during Season 1. I didn’t know what was going to happen. I mean, what if I get locked in this house and I hate the guys from Daddy TV and OUTtv? Like, what if it’s an ambush? Now that I know that I love them, I was way more excited for Season 2!
Denny Patterson: With this new set of Himbos and Daddies, what can we expect?
Stormy Daniels: I think that no matter how prepared you are for a show, because yes, it was the same location, same mansion, same crew, and I knew all the things, but no matter how prepared you are for the show, you just never know because the cast is always going to be different. You never know what’s going to happen, so you kind of have to be prepared to somewhat be out of the loop with that. I guess the biggest difference between Season 1 and Season 2, other than we made all these great improvements and I was more comfortable, is that the contestants coming in this time had something to reference. Season 1, nobody knew what was going on. Season 2, they can all kind of watch, and that sort of split the contestants, in my perception, into different boxes. One side really understood that this was a chance and an opportunity for what it was. That they better be on good behavior because if you act like a jerk, you’re going to be on TV, so your mom’s going to see it. They really made the most of it and went in with an open heart. As far as the other side, they sort of wanted to work it like a game show, knowing how to facilitate other people losing or getting more time. So, you could see all the behaviors were a little bit more intense. Whether it was I’m really going to try for love, or I’m really going to try to get them out so I can stay longer.
Denny Patterson: And of course, there’s plenty of spicy drama, right?
Stormy Daniels: Of course! You have a bunch of scantily clad, horny men in a house. You’d expect there to be drama.
Denny Patterson: Is there anything you ultimately hope audiences take away from this series?
Stormy Daniels: Yeah, and I’ve spoken about this a lot. Yes, they’re strong. Yes, there’s entertainment, silly games, beautiful men, all those things. Some of it is literally eye candy, and some of it is trash entertainment, although I’m the trashiest one there (laughs), but I did not expect what I really want people to take away, and that is the other side of this, which is so serious. I was completely blindsided by it, and I think everyone should pay attention to and learn a lesson from it, especially the hetero people watching. They’re probably only watching because they’re fans of mine. It’s how open, honest, and willing they were to have conversations about boundaries, needs, consent, and body positivity. The straight side is nowhere near having these open, blunt conversations. Especially hetero women. I cannot tell you how many straight women I know that have been married for decades and cannot have these conversations with their husband. I’m not talking about just the non-fun stuff like STDs and consent. I’m talking about the fun stuff too, like pleasure. Like, you can’t tell your husband or partner of 20 years what you like and don’t like as far as being pleasured? These two guys who’ve never met are having a conversation that is so non-judgmental, authentic, honest, and open. Take a lesson.
Denny Patterson: We all know your work in adult entertainment and your publicized drama with Donald Trump. How would you say you have embraced reality television?
Stormy Daniels: I don’t even know if I would say I’ve embraced it. I was so nervous about doing this, and I actually turned it down when I was first approached because everything in my life had become such clickbait. I’m so sick of people changing what I say, rearranging or using my voice to fit their narrative or agenda. I was so tired of it, but I would say For the Love of DILFs is kind of its own thing. I wouldn’t say I’m into reality TV. I’m into working with OUTtv because they’re a different animal that I very much respect. I recently did an interview, which was hours long and it was a great interview, but the headline had nothing to do with anything that was said in the article. It was a sentence that I said maybe three years ago. Feeling out of control of my own narrative kind of makes me apprehensive about any sort of reality TV, but working with OUTtv and Daddy TV is different and amazing.
Denny Patterson: Would you say that For the Love of DILFs is good representation for the queer community?
Stormy Daniels: I don’t want to speak for the community as a whole, but I believe so. We have a wide range of body types, professions, races, and walks of life. Obviously, daddies and himbos clears up the age. I feel like it’s as inclusive as it can be with the number of people who apply. In fact, I’ve heard that it seems to be one of the most inclusive shows out there, if not the most inclusive.
Denny Patterson: As the DILF Mansion house mother and counselor, coaching these himbos and daddies to find love, what is the best advice you could offer?
Stormy Daniels: I told them in one of the episodes, don’t waste your opportunities. The only thing we can’t get back is time, but by the same token, don’t force it. One of the biggest challenges for someone coming into the mansion is that the queer community, a lot of them, just wants to be loved. They want to be wanted, and they are willing to overlook some behaviors and red flags, if you will, because they so desire for someone to care for them. I’m comfortable using that analogy because although I’m not a gay man, I know that feeling coming from the adult business and what I’ve been through in the last few months. Sometimes, it’s very lonely. You might let your guard down and open yourself up to some more toxic people or behaviors just because you want someone to be there. I was able to kind of explain that situation to them, and they’re looking at me like, but you’re the hot porn chick! I’m like, this is what I went through. It’s different, but also spooky similar. At the same time, don’t give up hope, but the best things happen when you’re not forcing them.
Denny Patterson: Is it true that OUTtv has already greenlit a third season?
Stormy Daniels: That is true! We start filming in a couple months.
Denny Patterson: Before we wrap up, are there any other upcoming projects or anything else you’d like to mention or plug?
