TMZ reported:
Michael Avenatti, who became famous for representing Stormy Daniels in her battle with President Trump, has been arrested for felony domestic violence … law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
Our sources say the alleged incident occurred Tuesday, but there was a confrontation Wednesday between the two at an exclusive apartment building in the Century City area of L.A.
We’re told during Wednesday’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***.”
Avenatti has had rough few weeks.
The creepy porn lawyer was hit with a $4.85 million judgement last month and evicted from his Newport Beach, CA office for nonpayment of 4 months rent.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley also criminally referred Avenatti to the DOJ and FBI for investigation twice over potential false statements to the Committee.
TMZ is reporting Avenatti is still in custody as of Wednesday afternoon.
