“Health reporter tweet here. Why are Stormy Daniels’ pupils so dilated in that bright room? AC’s aren’t. Ok carry on,” St. Louis Post-Dispatch health and science reporter Blythe Bernhard asked.
“Off topic- but Stormy Daniels’ pupils look completely dilated,” noted WGN Morning News anchor Lauren Jiggetts.
“
# has giant pupils,” tweeted Fox 26 reporter Mike Iscovitz.
“Y’all.
# pupils look suuppppper dilated, right?” writer Lauren Modery tweeted.
“I can’t see what color Stormy Daniels eyes are bc her pupils are so big,” chided journalist Alix Bryan.
“# lack of embellishments made her story seem credible to me. However, I highly doubt her motive for the interview was to clear her name..as a porn star..your name is already kinda [sh*t] hence the name change. Also what was with her extremely dilated pupils?” journalist Lidia Curana tweeted.

Accusations of drug/medication use then followed.
But first, Gizmodo
explains why one’s eye become dilated due to drug use:
Pupil dilation, what’s also referred to as mydriasis, happens when one of two muscle groups become activated, namely the iris sphincter (
yes, that’s what it’s called) and the iris dilator. The sphincter response is triggered by the parasympathetic nervous system (what regulates our autonomic bodily processes when we’re at rest), and the dilator by the sympathetic nervous symptom (what controls physiological responses requiring a quick response — like fight-or-flight).
Needless to say, psychotropic drugs can have a profound effect on both of these systems.
Depending on the type of drug taken, therefore, either muscle group can become engaged. Essentially, if a drug can trigger a parasympathetic or sympathetic response, there’s a good chance that it will also impact on pupil dilation. Specifically, mydriasis can be caused by stimulants and any drug that influences the adrenal glands — what can trigger certain parasympathetic responses.
“What’s up with this floozy Stormy Daniels’ massively dilated pupils during her 60 Minutes interview?” Youtuber Mark Dice asked.
