It’s been clear to many people for a long time that Michael Avenatti is a dirtbag – even before his despicable treatment of Kavanaugh.
Well now his own brightest porn star has decided to go public and set the record straight about him, telling everyone how he’s lied to her and screwed her over financially.
Here’s the statement she issued to the Daily Beast:
“For months I’ve asked Michael Avenatti to give me accounting information about the fund my supporters so generously donated to for my safety and legal defense. He has repeatedly ignored those requests. Days ago I demanded again, repeatedly, that he tell me how the money was being spent and how much was left. Instead of answering me, without my permission or even my knowledge Michael launched another crowdfunding campaign to raise money on my behalf. I learned about it on Twitter.
“I haven’t decided yet what to do about legal representation moving forward. Michael has been a great advocate in many ways. I’m tremendously grateful to him for aggressively representing me in my fight to regain my voice. But in other ways Michael has not treated me with the respect and deference an attorney should show to a client. He has spoken on my behalf without my approval. He filed a defamation case against Donald Trump against my wishes. He repeatedly refused to tell me how my legal defense fund was being spent. Now he has launched a new crowdfunding campaign using my face and name without my permission and attributing words to me that I never wrote or said. I’m deeply grateful to my supporters and they deserve to know their money is being spent responsibly. I don’t want to hurt Michael, but it’s time to set the record straight. The truth has always been my greatest ally.
“My goal is the same as it has always been—to stand up for myself and take back my voice after being bullied and intimidated by President Trump and his minions. One way or another I’m going to continue in that fight, and I want everyone who has stood by me to know how profoundly grateful I am for their support.”
I know you’re all shocked, SHOCKED right now to learn that Avenatti is screwing his favorite porn star client over. Heh.
Seriously though, it’s not surprising at all to see Avenatti put his own agenda above those of even his most famous client. We were making jokes months ago about how he rode Stormy Daniels to fame. And now we learn that he filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump WITHOUT her permission and is again using her name and porn stardom to raise money and fill his own pockets – or to pay for all these lawsuits he’s losing.
What Avenatti tried to do to Kavanaugh is maybe the worst thing we’ve seen him do. But exploiting his most popular client is about as scummy as it gets. And you know it has to be pretty bad for Daniels to come out against him.
