High-profile lawyer Michael Avenatti denied domestic violence allegations being levied against him after he was released on bail Wednesday night, stating that he would not be "intimidated" from advocating for women's rights.
"I have never struck a woman. I never will strike a woman," Avenatti told reporters according to video posted by KABC. "I have been an advocate for women's rights my entire career and I'm going to continue to be an advocate. "I'm not going to be intimidated from stopping what I'm doing."
"I am looking forward to a full investigation at which point I am confident that I will be fully exonerated," he added.
Los Angeles police said Avenatti was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of felony domestic violence.
The lawyer issued a statement denying the allegations via his law office earlier Wednesday night, calling the allegations "completely bogus" and claiming they were "fabricated."
His ex-wife, Lisa Storie-Aveantti, has denied via her lawyer that she was the victim of the alleged domestic violence.
"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," her statement added.
Avenatti, who is representing adult-film actress Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against President Trump, has floated the idea of launching a 2020 presidential run against President Trump, though an arrest on a domestic violence charge could end that.
The Vermont Democratic Party announced it has cancelled two events that were set to feature Avenatti over his arrest on domestic assault allegations.
“She hit me first”
But how does he explain away the: “She hit me first” statement? Gonna be tough even for a creepy porn lawyer.
Sorry dude, all woman must be believed. Off to prison you go.
What’s good for the judge is good for the lawyer!
I’m sure Avenatti will be FULLY supported by CNN, which made so much coin allowing him to freely bash other men.
(Shaking head) That is not going to be good for business...
#IBelieveHer
Bet he “finds” some kind of evidence that his ex-wife is working for Trump, or the Russians.
If he does, the MSM-Democrats will jump on it.
Never mind. It wasn’t Lisa Storie. It was some other women Avenatti attacked.
this guy is the biggest attention whore on earth.
Believe women.
I think it was reported that she was wearing dark glasses and had a swollen face.
And even if it’s not true, who cares about the facts anyway?
HER STORY RINGS TRUE. I BELIEVE HER.
#hertoo
WE BELIEVE SURVIVORS!!
I’m sure his next step is to try to sue the crap out of the woman and the building security lol
