Michael Avenatti thread

Hopefully the arrest will end this whole fiasco. It lost whatever entertainment value it had quite a while ago.
 
I have to agree with Squeezee a few pages back;that so many here were so quick to defend Avenatti is a sad comment on the whole"I must defend anybody on my side to the end" mentality in US Politics today.
Looks, I enjoyed seeing Avenatti rile up Trump and his lawyers as much as anybody, but was never under the illusion he was anything other then a scumbucket lawyer, the kind that gives the legal profession such a bad name.

I haven't watched any of Avenatti's recorded statements or his behavior generally, outside of what's been reported on the news. I support Stormy Daniels; but I have grown increasingly disgusted with the way Avenatti very obviously began to try to leverage his status as Daniels' attorney into some kind of celebrity anti-Trump leadership role. Trying to insert himself into the Kavenaugh business was the final straw for me; I don't care what happens to him.

Yeah, gonna call 48-hour rule on this one, especially after reading this in the Buzzfeed article

"My client and I have reviewed the TMZ article alleging that my client, Lisa Storie-Avenatti, has been injured and that Michael Avenatti has been arrested as a result of some incident that occurred between them. This article is not true as it pertains to my client," the statement said. "Ms. Storie-Avenatti was not subject to any such incident on Tuesday night. Further, she was not at Mr. Avenatti’s apartment on the date that this alleged incident occurred. My client states that there has never been domestic violence in her relationship with Michael and that she has never known Michael to be physically violent toward anyone."

He is too much like Trump for my taste; he seems willing to say or do anything to advance himself.

Unless someone hacked the LAPD HQ Twitter account and their internet pages, the arrest report is valid. They say nothing as to who the violence was perpetrated against, though. The denial from the former wife doesn't mean much, other than that she wasn't involved.

Story needs to play out somewhere other than Buzzfeed, Daily Beast and TMZ.

I'll remain agnostic as to the whole thing until there are more details from credible sources. CNN picked the story up about twenty minutes ago but it's a pool rewrite of the stuff on the news wire.
 
The original report said it was Avenatti's estranged wife who made the complaint, but she has denied it ever happened and that she has not seen Avenatti in months. The report is now that it was "a woman" but does not identify her.

I can't help but be suspicious of the claim. I will hold off judgment until there is a proper investigation. However, you just know there will be protestations from Trump supporters screaming that "the woman" (whoever she is) must be believed or the "libtards" are being hypocrites after the Blasey-Ford/ Kavanaugh story. Of course, the situation is different at this time but that won't stop them.

Updated reports are that it was not his estranged wife.

He certainly got arrested so perhaps a date??
 
Michael Avenatti says in a statement released through his law firm that the allegations against him are "completely bogus" and that they are "fabricated and meant to do harm to my reputation." LAPD says the victim had visible injuries and Avenatti is being held on $50K bail.

Guess all that ******** about believing the victim was just smoke.

"She hit me first!"
 
The LAPD has already obtained an emergency protective order, prohibiting Avenatti from going near the alleged victim.

I said the other day that Avenatti had a bad week, but damn, when it rains, it pours....

Good
 
Meh.
The Avenatti Show was decent entertainment and I had hoped it would run for another Season.
Too bad it got cancelled already.
