If she directly threatened to make it public unless he paid her, then that's blackmail.
The way these things are usually worked out is that the woman shops her story around to tabloids in a manner so that the target will learn of it. Then the tabloid buys the exclusive rights to the story and it becomes an intellectual property deal and the tabloid then works it out with the target (like selling the rights to them). That's how they usually avoid blackmail law.
That's how Trump did it with another woman, Karen McDougal. (Maybe that's where the whole "Karen" meme started?)
A similar thing happened to David Letterman a couple of decades ago. A boyfriend of his mistress wrote a screenplay about a famous TV personality who had a mistress that exactly paralleled Letterman's situation. He then tried to sell the screenplay directly to Letterman.
Letterman turned the guy into the cops rather than paying the blackmail money and the story was made public.

Inflation caused by shrinking work force due to early retirement. Not the half a million EU workers who left due to Brexit. Nothing to do with Brexit. Brexit was a great success.
*Chuckles* That was adorable.
Teacher with a little girl, who's obviously a bday girl if her festive hat was anything to go by, is going around the classrooms and offices to hand out treats.
She handed me the whole box, and I signed: "Can I have all of that?" She nodded yes. I was wide-eyed, "Allllll of that?!" The teacher signed to her, "Nono, they can't have all of that, it's just one they get out of the box!" Oh yeah!
So the girl signed "One thing" "Oh, phew, okay, thank you, I was already afraid I would have to become fat!" And then I grabbed just one treat out of the box and gave the box back to her, hehe.
The teacher thanked me and I'm just amused by this interaction. 😋
