Michael Avenatti Arrested For Allegedly Beating His Wife
from ZeroHedge:
This could complicate the launch of Avenatti 2020.
Michael Avenatti has been arrested on felony domestic violence charges, TMZ reported Wednesday afternoon. The LA lawyer, who’s best known for representing porn actress Stormy Daniels and discredited Kavanaugh accused Julie Swetnick, was picked up after his estranged wife filed a domestic violence police report. TMZ’s source said her face was swollen and bruised when she arrived at the station.
TMZ said the initial attack occurred on Tuesday, but the conflict between the two escalated Wednesday during a confrontation at an exclusive apartment building in Century City. According to TMZ, Avenatti is currently in custody.
The sordid details of the confrontation include the soon-to-be former Mrs. Avenatti screaming at her estranged husband over the phone after running outside of his apartment building, before her husband chased after her, screaming “she hit me first.”
We’re told during today’s confrontation the woman ran out of the apartment building and was on the sidewalk on her cellphone with sunglasses covering her eyes, screaming on the phone, “I can’t believe you did this to me.”
We’re told security brought her inside the building and Michael showed up 5 minutes later, ran into the building, chasing after her. He screamed repeatedly, “She hit me first.” We’re told he angrily added, “This is bulls***, this is f***ing bulls***.”
A law enforcement source say on Tuesday, Avenatti “kicked her out of the apartment” and that’s presumably when the alleged domestic violence occurred.
Details of the Avenatti’s acrimonious divorce have surfaced in press reports about the lavish lifestyle the two enjoyed during Avenatti’s days of running a successful law firm in LA. But the relationship fell apart in 2017, around the time that Avenatti’s firm ran into money trouble.
