Michael Avenatti Denies Domestic Violence Allegation, Demands Investigation

Michael Avenatti, lawyer for porn star Stormy Daniels, told reporters he “has never struck a woman” after he was released from Los Angeles Police Department custody late Wednesday following an arrest on a felony domestic violence charge. The LAPD had earlier said Avenatti was arrested and had bail set at $50,000, while a police spokesman said his alleged victim had visible injuries. Avenatti has denied the allegations and called for an investigation, describing his arrest as an attempt at intimidation.
