Stormy Daniels’ testimony in Donald Trump’s hush money trial Tuesday including plenty of details but it was the court artist’s sketch of the former adult film star that captured the internet’s attention.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, appeared in court to share her version of events, detailing an alleged sexual encounter that occurred in July 2006.
Trump is currently on trial for falsifying business records, with prosecutors alleging that Trump covered up reimbursements paid to his former lawyer, who paid Daniels $130,000 in 2016 to keep details of the affair secret, USA TODAY reported.
Trump has continued to deny the encounter with Daniels occurred, but her testimony did shed light on what occurred that fateful night.
While the contents of Daniel’s testimony may have been revelatory, people couldn’t help but discuss how she was depicted by courtroom sketch artists online. Many agreed that she looked older in the drawing than she actually looked, while others poked fun at Daniels outright.
Here’s a sample of what people are saying online.

There seems to be a difference between the way the sketch artist thinks Daniels looks like and how everyone else sees her, a difference noted by several people across multiple posts.
