Social media users on Tuesday had fun with the sketch Stormy Daniels released of the man she says threatened her in 2011.

Daniels, who claims she had an affair with President Trump more than a decade ago, unveiled the sketch during an appearance on ABC’s “The View” on Tuesday.

The release comes after the adult-film star said during an interview that aired last month she was physically threatened after she agreed to discuss her alleged affair with Trump with a publication in 2011.

And a guy walked up on me and said to me, ‘Leave Trump alone. Forget the story,'” Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, told Anderson Cooper on CBS’s “60 Minutes.”

“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,” she continued.

Journalists on Twitter linked the sketch to various celebrities, including Tom Brady, tweeting out pictures of the sketch and Brady side by side.

Daniels has been embroiled in a legal battle with Trump over a $130,000 nondisclosure agreement the adult-film star signed, which she says was about the affair she had with Trump.

She alleges the deal is not valid because Trump never signed it himself.

Last month, Daniels accused Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen of defamation and amended her lawsuit against Trump. The lawsuit alleges Cohen defamed Daniels by suggesting she is lying.

Daniels appeared in New York court on Monday for a hearing on the documents the FBI seized last week following a raid on Cohen’s office, home and hotel room.
