Avenatti's bad day: Evicted from office, ordered to pay $4.85M to former employee

Porn star lawyer Michael Avenatti suffered two court losses on Monday, including one that saw a judge order him to pay $4.85 million to a former lawyer who argued he was underpaid.

Shortly after that ruling from a California judge, another judge ruled that Avenatti and his staff must be evicted from their suite office at Fashion Island mall after they missed four months worth of rent payments.

In the first case, Superior Court Judge Dennis Landin said Avenatti had to personally pay the $4.85 million because he guaranteed a settlement with former employee, Jason Frank, the Associated Press reported.

Landin turned down Avenatti’s request to have the case moved to federal court before making his ruling. Frank’s legal representation said the tactic was an attempt to delay the ruling.

The law firm was previously ordered to pay $10 million to Frank, but the $4.85 million owed by Avenatti is the first time he is being held personally liable in the case, in which Frank has said he was owed millions after the firm misstated its profits.

Avenatti, who represents porn star Stormy Daniels and has not yet made a decision on whether or not he will make a run for the White House in 2020, told the AP that Frank owes him $12 million “for his fraud,” without offering any further explanation.

Daniels’ defamation lawsuit against Trump was dismissed last week, and Avenatti appealed the ruling.

That feeling you get from reading about him: That is EXACTLY why he should run for POTUS in 2020!

But do you suppose he ever touched a girl without her consent? That could be problematic in his vetting.

You are correct - his office is just off the mall area...in one of the many buildings that surround it.

When I lived there it was very high end, with Nordstrom, possibly Saks (too long ago to remember) and chic boutiques. Its outstanding feature was its location on a hill overlooking the Pacific and, on a clear day, straight view of Catalina Island.

That’s such a great laugh line.

I couldn’t resist, even though it’s old and getting stale.

"If you're so smart and Trump's so dumb, how come he keeps beating you?"

That, FRiend, is the key to the hate, vitriol, violence, and irrational behavior we see exhibited by the Left in this country.

With their faces red, eyes bulging, and spittle forming on their lips at each smack-down by Trump, their arrogance prods them to ever higher levels of insanity because they simply cannot rationalize how this uneducated, stupid, arrogant, filthy, lying boor defeats them every single time.

It is making them (who are already unstable by nature) even MORE unstable, because the cognitive dissonance, which they have managed to easily live with as Leftists reaches new heights with each humiliating defeats, and it is bouncing around inside their heads, destroying whatever might have been in there.

They refuse to step back an realize that Trump knows their kind all too well, and how to treat effectively with them. He makes them show their ass at every step of the way.

We, as conservatives, never became this unhinged over Obama, no matter how much we hated his Marxist, Leftist, arrogant scheming and pettiness, because...we understood ourselves and our cause which did not depend on Obama to be a tool. We didn't need him to be in touch with our cause.

Like the people in Orwell's 1984 who cannot function without an evil Goldstein and their Two Minutes Hate, Leftists do.

Big office buildings with gorgeous ocean views. The shopping mall is a circular thing in the center with parking and tall buildings around by MacArthur.

I don't think Trump is very religious but wow...I'm thinking that God is sure using him...

Isa 54:17  No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me," Says the LORD.

Re: Better Call Saul

It’s especially fitting here since the Creepy Porn Lawyer’s office was in a strip mall! Ha ha!

I was just about to post it then I saw you already did 3 minutes earlier!
