Law enforcement officials have reportedly arrested attorney Michael Avenatti for suspected felony domestic violence against a woman that reportedly left her face "swollen and bruised."

Sources told TMZ that "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."

The woman reportedly ran out of the apartment building today, screaming on her cell phone, "I can't believe you did this to me. I'm going to get a restraining order against you."

"We're told security brought her inside the building, took her upstairs and Michael showed up 5 minutes later, running into the building," TMZ reported.

Avenatti later reportedly screamed, "She hit me first," adding, "This is bulls***, this is f***ing bulls***."

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed with a Los Angeles police spokesman that Avenatti was arrested for suspected felony domestic violence.

The Los Angeles Police Department later confirmed the news via Twitter: "We can confirm that today LAPD Detectives arrested Michael Avenatti on suspicion of domestic violence. This is an ongoing investigation and we will provide more details as they become available."


Stormy Daniel's lawyer and a person wanting to run in 2020 for the presidency. It's not that surprising to be honest, many people on left have an issue with this type of stuff.

He's vehemently denying the charges thus far, we'll see how it plays out. Could be another Jacob Wohl special or it could be real. Either way I don't see Avenatti as a top three contender for the Dem nominee in 2020.

The Los Angeles district attorney has declined to prosecute Avenatti on these charges:

Which means they likely have information suggesting the charges are bogus. Speculation is that Jacob Wohl is involved, the same guy who hired a woman to smear Mueller with false sexual assault allegations.

Well, the D.A. turned down prosecution of felony charges, but referred it for consideration as a misdemeanor. Which sounds more in line with the circumstances. AFAIK California requires an aggravated circumstance for a felony domestic violence case, such as broken bones, severe soft-tissue injury (lacerations, etc), wanton disregard for life (choking w/o killing, etc), or use of a weapon.

And the D.A. is correct, the victim's statement of the incident does not support a felony (but, if found true, certainly is a misdemeanor):

Miniutti said in her request for a restraining order that she was wearing only a T-shirt and underwear when Avenatti grabbed her by the arm and dragged her out of the bed. She said she was scratched on her side and leg. Court papers include photographs that appear to show bruises.

True, but somehow I don't think we're going to see them press very hard for any charges after this. The 'evidence' is pretty flimsy in this case, given that it all happened conveniently out of the sight of security cameras. One picture of bruises that could've easily been self-inflicted does not make for a strong case.

Also, Jacob Wohl's company, 'Surefire,' claimed credit for the charges against Avenatti right after media broke the initial story. That idiot needs to be in jail.

You could've used the same smaller image I did. Also it's not a conspiracy theory when something happens and then somebody immediately confesses to being behind it. There have to be a few more dots to connect and a few more unknown factors in there to make it interesting enough to be a conspiracy. Because that's what conspiracies are about: gathering interest, almost never are they about being factual.

This case is more like a quick mystery from Rick and Morty:



Here's the Tweet in which 'Surefire Intelligence' claims credit for the charges and Avenatti's arrest:

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice

    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze

    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double

    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

    it's dumb

    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
