\nHigh-profile lawyer Michael Avenatti denied domestic violence allegations being levied against him after he was released on bail Wednesday night, stating that he would not be \u00ab\u00a0intimidated\u00a0\u00bb from advocating for women’s rights.
\u00ab\u00a0I have never struck a woman. I never will strike a woman,\u00a0\u00bb Avenatti told reporters according to video posted by KABC. \u00ab\u00a0I have been an advocate for women’s rights my entire career and I’m going to continue to be an advocate. \u00ab\u00a0I’m not going to be intimidated from stopping what I’m doing.\u00a0\u00bb
\u00ab\u00a0I am looking forward to a full investigation at which point I am confident that I will be fully exonerated,\u00a0\u00bb he added.
Los Angeles police said Avenatti was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of felony domestic violence.
The lawyer issued a statement denying the allegations via his law office earlier Wednesday night, calling the allegations \u00ab\u00a0completely bogus\u00a0\u00bb and claiming they were \u00ab\u00a0fabricated.\u00a0\u00bb
His ex-wife, Lisa Storie-Aveantti, has denied via her lawyer that she was the victim of the alleged domestic violence.
\u00ab\u00a0My 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,\u00a0\u00bb her statement added.
Avenatti has floated the idea of launching a 2020 presidential run against President Trump, though an arrest on a domestic violence charge could end that.
The Vermont Democratic Party announced it has cancelled two events that were set to feature Avenatti over his arrest on domestic assault allegations.<\/p>\n
