‘Creepy porn lawyer’ who represented Stormy Daniels seems deluded
Michael Avenatti aka ‘creepy porn lawyer’ who represented stripper and porn star Stormy Daniels, has claimed his chance of winning the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020 have “gone up” following accusations of domestic violence.
A previously prominent figure in the #MeToo movement and critic of Trump, Avenatti claims the domestic violence accusations is the only helping him.
“I think the field is shaping up to be even more advantageous for someone like me, not less,” he told Politico on Sunday.
“I think my chances have only gone up, not gone down.”
The article was titled – “‘He’s going through a pretty rough time’: Avenatti crashes and burns.”
The piece documents Avenatti’s downward spiral.
Michael Avenatti’s cable TV bookings have plummeted, and he was duly uninvited from prominent Democratic events.
To make things worse, his highest-profile client is now making fresh allegations against him
I thought I was clear about this previously but based on comments, evidently not. The allegations made against me are FALSE. I am innocent and I did not do what I have been accused of doing. I look forward to ALL of the facts and evidence coming to light. I will be vindicated.

In just weeks, Avenatti’s fortunes have dwindled, swiftly downshifting him from 2020 presidential prospect to political pariah.
Following his domestic violence arrest in Los Angeles coupled with his a public rift with his porn star client, Stormy Daniel over his fees and legal strategy, some of his most avid supporters are questioning his political survival.
Avenatti “is accused of attacking his girlfriend and dragging her around the apartment floor while calling her an ‘Ungrateful f*cking bitch,’ this according to the declaration submitted by Mareli Miniutti,” The Blast reported in November.
Avenatti says he is innocent of the charges.
“I did not do what I have been accused of doing,” he wrote on Twitter.
“I look forward to ALL of the facts and evidence coming to light. I will be vindicated.”
