UPDATE: TMZ has updated their report to reflect that this did not involve his wife, but another woman. Avenatti’s attorney provided the following.
TMZ initially reported Avenatti’s estranged wife Lisa Storie-Avenatti filed a complaint with the Los Angeles Police Department on Wednesday that alleged an altercation at a Century City apartment building the day before left her with serious face injuries, but Storie-Avenatti, through her attorney, said it wasn’t true in a statement to BuzzFeed News.
“My client and I have reviewed the TMZ article alleging that my client, Lisa Storie-Avenatti, has been injured and that Michael Avenatti has been arrested as a result of some incident that occurred between them. This article is not true as it pertains to my client,” the statement said. “Ms. Storie-Avenatti was not subject to any such incident on Tuesday night. Further, she was not at Mr. Avenatti’s apartment on the date that this alleged incident occurred. My client states that there has never been domestic violence in her relationship with Michael and that she has never known Michael to be physically violent toward anyone.”
According to the TMZ report, which has since been updated, Avenatti, 47, alleged that “she hit me first.”
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.”

Oh boy, and you won’t hear a peep out of the same people who pushed Avenatti’s accusations against President Donald Trump, will you? Nope, they will all be tight lipped about this, and if they do say something, it will be to defend him. That’s right, creepy, porn attorney Micael Avenatti was arrested in Los Angeles on Wednesday for domestic violence against his wife.
TMZ reports:
Our law enforcement sources say Avenatti was arrested Wednesday after a woman filed a felony DV report. We’re told her face was “swollen and bruised” with “red marks” on both cheeks.
Our sources say the alleged incident occurred Tuesday night, but there was another confrontation Wednesday between the two at an exclusive apartment building in the Century City area of L.A.
We’re told Wednesday afternoon the woman was on the sidewalk on her cellphone with sunglasses covering her eyes, sobbing and screaming on the 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 and ran into the building. He screamed repeatedly, “She hit me first.” We’re told he angrily added, “This is bulls***, this is f***ing bulls***.” We’re told he tried getting into the elevator but security denied him access.
Cops showed up and escorted Avenatti into a corner of the apartment lobby and spoke with him for 5 to 10 minutes and then took him into custody.
A law enforcement source says on Tuesday, Avenatti “kicked her out of the apartment” and that’s when the alleged domestic violence occurred. We’re told she went back to the apartment on Wednesday to retrieve her belongings and called police to stand by in case things got heated.
Tyler Durden adds:
Details of the Avenatti’s acrimonious divorce have surfaced in press reports about the lavish lifestyle the two enjoyed during Avenatti’s days of running a successful law firm in LA. But the relationship fell apart in 2017, around the time that Avenatti’s firm ran into money trouble.
Sadly, this behavior isn’t all that surprising. After all, Avenatti named his ‘grassroots’ political fundraising vehicle “Fight PAC”. And this isn’t Avenatti’s first brush with misogyny: He caused a stir last month when he said during an interview that the Democratic Party’s 2020 nominee “better be a white male.” Because only another white man could beat Trump, he said.
Avenatti was still in police custody on Wednesday evening.
Yeah, well, they say what goes around comes around, only I’m more inclined to believe in Divine Providence. Michael Avenatti is getting exactly what he has been dishing out, but let’s see if he receives anything close to justice in this matter.
