Oh boy. TMZ says that Michael Avenatti has just been arrested – for domestic violence:
Michael Avenatti, who became famous for his attacks on Donald Trump, has been arrested for felony domestic violence … law enforcement sources tell TMZ.
Our law enforcement sources say Stormy Daniels’ attorney was arrested Wednesday after his estranged wife filed a felony DV report. We’re told her face was “swollen and bruised.”
Our sources say 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.
We’re told during today’s confrontation the woman ran out of the apartment building and was on the sidewalk on her cellphone with sunglasses covering her eyes, screaming on the phone, “I can’t believe you did this to me.”
We’re told security brought her inside the building and Michael showed up 5 minutes later, ran into the building, chasing after her. He screamed repeatedly, “She hit me first.” We’re told he angrily added, “This is bulls***, this is f***ing bulls***.”
A law enforcement source say on Tuesday, Avenatti “kicked her out of the apartment” and that’s presumably when the alleged domestic violence occurred.
Wow. I mean, given how nutty this guy is, it’s totally believable. Still, we should wait for evidence before drawing any firm conclusions. You can still make fun of him on Twitter though. Just link us. I can’t, he blocked me LOL!
UPDATE!!!!
TMZ has changed its story after the wife denied it:
TMZ initially reported that Michale Avenatti was arrested for an incident involving his estranged wife. The story's been updated to remove reference of wife -- now just says "a woman." (No correction note)

I spoke with Avenatti's wife on the phone. “I haven’t see Michael in months. It’s a complete fabrication," she said. “Bruises on my face? It is insanity. He wouldn’t hit anybody. Especially a woman. He’s got two daughters.”
