Michael Avenatti accused of smacking girlfriend, dragging her out of bed

Michael Avenatti allegedly dragged his actress girlfriend out of bed and called her an “ungrateful ####### #####” during a recent spat over money, according to a report Tuesday.

Mareli Miniutti claims she was injured in the brawl last Tuesday with her boyfriend Avenatti, whom she’d been living with in Los Angeles since January.

The lawyer is accused of smacking Miniutti in the face with pillows and yanking her out of bed by the “wrist of my right arm,” according to her declaration filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by The Blast.

Avenatti had also warned her “do not disrespect me” and told her she couldn’t sleep at his place that night, the document says.

The Estonia native tried texting a pal for help — but claims the fuming lawyer snatched her phone away. He then allegedly pulled her out of bed by her arm and dragged her across the floor through the apartment and out the front door into a hallway.

Minuitti, who was only wearing her underwear at the time, claims she suffered scratches to her back and red marks on her legs.

Photos of the alleged injuries were included with her declaration.

She began ringing a neighbor’s doorbell for help but Avenatti pulled her back into the apartment, the court documents say. After putting on pants and bolting for an elevator, Avenatti allegedly begged her, “Don’t do this, Mareli. Don’t involve them.”

But she was living in his place at the time of this fight.

(And I know someone who had a date with him recently and thought he was single.)

In California, he will be charged with PC273.5(a) Felony Domestic Violence, Corporal Injury to a Spouse or Cohabitant, which is an elevated charge.

He will claim many things, including that she didn’t live there but the bar is pretty low if she slepped there regularly.

He’ll plead to a misdemeanor and get 3 year’s informal probation, pay restitution and go to therapy.

Unless he wants to try his luck in a jury trial and go to jail for a year.

Even if he convinces her not to testify he can still be charged by the state, provided they got good pics.

Either way, it will take a long time.

The internet says she’s 24. Actresses and the internet never lie.

The almighty Alyssa Milano has already “disavowed” him.

Just your typical May-December romance.

Younger women find older men attractive. What they lack in sexual prowess, they compensate for in emotional maturity and financial stability.

You might say Avenatti is an exception to the rule.

We believe survivors! We believe survivors! We believe survivors! We believe survivors! We believe survivors! We believe survivors! We believe survivors! We believe survivors! “

A conviction in domestic violence cases is rare. You love that person even with all their faults which is why prosecutors seldom press these cases.

Unless someone gets severely injured or killed - the accused perp rarely goes to prison.

It isn’t a simple matter of enforcing the law.

People have fights.

They rarely get physical. Two things usually divide couples: sex and money.

They have been around since the beginning of time.

Paging Mr. Trump, this poor abused woman needs a job in the whitehouse or a hotel. Maybe a place to sleep. A great bit of charity for an assaulted and bruised woman would be so nice to see.

To keep women interested there has to be some excitement in the relationship. Dragging them around and slamming them into walls might be a little over the top, but at least he’s trying. He’s not a slacker.

Taking the phone away from the victim carries serious charges, even higher than the actual abuse because he is denying the victim her means of communication, her means of calling for help.

pulling her back into the apartment and restricting her movement from a room/ escape is usually called false imprisonment and could be kidnapping...
