At 5:50 PM Wednesday
afternoon, the scandal sheet TMZ
published a report revealing creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti had been
arrested on charges of felony domestic violence.
Avenatti was released
after posting $50,000 bail, at which point, he made a brief public statement
claiming he would be “fully exonerated” following an investigation.
We can confirm that today LAPD Detectives arrested Michael Avenatti on suspicion of domestic violence. This is an ongoing investigation and we will provide more details as they become available.— LAPD HQ (@LAPDHQ) November 15, 2018
Initial reports said
the woman involved was Avenatti’s estranged wife Lisa Storie-Avenatti however
her attorney disputed the report saying, “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.”
The woman who actually
was involved in the alleged physical altercation reportedly scrambled from the
apartment where the incident occurred and was spotted on the sidewalk holding
her hands over her eyes while shouting into her cell phone. “I can’t believe
you did this to me.”
Five minutes later, Avenatti
arrived at the apartment complex and yelled repeatedly, “She hit me first,”
then, “This is bullshit, this is fucking bullshit.” The alleged melee occurred
after the woman attempted to pick up her belongings and called 911 after
tempers ran hot.
“We’re told her face
was ‘swollen and bruised’ with ‘red marks’ on both cheeks,” TMZ
reports.
While the creepy porn
lawyer is attempting to burnish his credentials as a potential 2020 Democrat
presidential candidate, he is facing mounting legal entanglements, including a
possible criminal investigation by the Justice Department. Senate Judiciary
Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) has asked for a criminal investigation
into whether Julie Swetnick and Avenatti conspired to provide false statements
to Congress and obstructed a congressional investigation during the
confirmation process for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Grassley wrote in a
letter to the Justice Department that Swetnick and Avenatti made serious
allegations that required significant resources to investigate. However,
Grassley says information from media interviews and elsewhere indicates their
statements “likely contained materially false claims.”
The Vermont Democratic
Party canceled Avenatti's appearances for Friday and Saturday following his
arrest, and it will refund all ticket sales, according to VDP Communications Director
Christopher Di Mezzo.
The decision to cancel
the events was made "almost immediately after the news broke," he
said.
The creepy porn lawyer’s
aspirations may just have suffered a setback.
What a pity. (stifles laughter)
