"First of all, I want to thank the hardworking men and women of the LAPD for their professionalism and their work today. They had no option in light of the allegations. Secondly, I have never struck a woman. I never will strike a woman. I have been an advocate for women's rights my entire career and I'm going to continue to be an advocate," Avenatti said. "I am not going to be intimidated from stopping what I am doing. I am a father to two beautiful, smart, daughters. I would never disrespect them by touching a woman inappropriately or striking a woman. I am looking forward to a full investigation at which point I am confident that I will be fully exonerated. I also want to thank everyone for their support that has reached out. You know my character. You know me as a man and I appreciate it. Thank you."
Update: After
Michael Avenatti's estranged wife issued a statement through her
attorney Thursday night claiming that she "was not subject to
any such incident on Tueasday night," TMZ updated their report,
writing: "We were initially told by our sources the alleged
victim was Avenatti's estranged wife. We now know it was not. The
incident involved a different woman."

I think this is actually worse for Creepy Porn Lawyer Michael Avenatti
Update: Avenatti’s wife says via her attorneys she *did not* make domestic violence claim against Michael and says the TMZ report is false. buzzfeednews.com/article/claudi…

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 accuser 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.
LAPD
confirmed Avenatti's arrest. His bail is set at $50,000.
Update: We can confirm that Michael Avenatti (DOB: 02-16-71) was booked this afternoon on a felony domestic violence charge (273.5 PC). His bail is set at $50,000.
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.
Sadly,
this behavior isn't all that surprising. After all, Avenatti named
his 'grassroots' political fundraising vehicle "Fight PAC".
And this isn't Avenatti's first brush with misogyny: He caused a stir
last month when he said during an interview that the Democratic
Party's 2020 nominee "better be a white male." Because only
another white man could beat Trump, he said.
Instead
of apologizing for his comments, Avenatti insisted that he had been
misquoted and claimed that he had always "called on" white
males to do their part to stop misogyny and bigotry during his
speeches.
That
certainly didn't age well.

To remind you...
Man
Who Called Tucker Carlson’s Daughter A Whore & ‘C’ Word
Serves On The Board For A Women’s Group
13
November, 2018
On
Sunday, Tucker Carlson posted to Twitter an account of his daughter’s
experience at Virginia’s Farmington Country Club last month:
Toward the end of the meal, my 19-year-old daughter went to the bathroom with a friend. On their way back through the bar, a middle aged man stopped my daughter and asked if she was sitting with Tucker Carlson,” Carlson wrote. “She answered, ‘That’s my dad,’ and pointed to me. The man responded, “Are you Tucker’s whore?” He then called her a “f***ing c**t.”
My daughter returned to the table in tears. … My son, who is also a student, went into the bar to confront the man. I followed. my son asked the man if he’d called his sister a “whore” and a “c**t.” The man admitted he had, and again [became] profane. … The club spent more than three weeks investigating the incident. Last week, they revoked the man’s membership and threw him out of the club.”
As
it turns out, the man — Manuel Granados — is on the Board of
Directors for the Women’s Initiative, an organization which
provides mental health services for women who can’t afford them.
We believe every woman has an innate capacity for healing that, once uncovered and directed, results in better mental and physical health. We believe it is critical to address each woman’s unique emotional, physical and spiritual needs.
Where
does the need to not be called a whore and the “C” word fit into
that?
The
WI “provide(s) women with effective counseling, social support and
education so they can transform life challenges into positive change
and growth.”
It
seems Manuel needs some positive change himself.
The
Daily Caller reached
out to
the Women’s Initiative multiple times for comment, but a employee
said, “Sorry, we don’t speak to reporters.”
Granados
is now being represented by America’s favorite attorney, Michael
Avenatti.
That’s
not a joke.
Also
on Sunday, Michael called Tucker a liar and claimed the Fox
commentator assaulted
Manuel.
Again
due to language, I’ve resisted posting Avenatti’s statement here,
but you can view
it on Twitter.
The kooky porn lawyer introduces thusly:
Here is a statement from my client regarding the incident with Tucker Carlson and Tucker’s fabricated version of events. As a father of two teenage daughters myself, I find it disgraceful that Tucker seeks to justify his behavior by falsely hiding behind his family.#Coward
The
country club doesn’t think much of Avenatti. Speaking to The
Washington Post,
a rep dismissed “inaccurate allegations being spread by individuals
who were not present during the incident, and whose interpretation of
events are refuted by the accounts of multiple eyewitnesses.”
Tucker
made clear in his tweet that he never assaulted Manuel:
I love my children. It took enormous self-control not to beat the man with a chair. … I did not assault this man, and neither did my son. … Nor did I know the man was gay or Latino, not that it would have mattered. What happened on October 13 has nothing to do with identity politics. It was a grotesque violation of decency. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.
For
those of you wishing Tucker had done
something in retaliation, perhaps you can rest easy knowing this:
My son threw a glass of red wine in the man’s face and told him to leave the bar, which he soon did.
And a media that has totally lost its moral compass-
