Celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti was arrested on domestic violence charges last week, and has the woman accusing him has filed for a restraining order. Meanwhile, Avenatti has felt compelled to reiterate his innocence:
I thought I was clear about this previously but based on comments, evidently not. The allegations made against me are FALSE. I am innocent and I did not do what I have been accused of doing. I look forward to ALL of the facts and evidence coming to light. I will be vindicated.

I sense an unhealthy display of defensive rage and anger there, which as I understand it is only more evidence of guilt

I am willing to give Michael Avenatt the benefit of due process, regardless of his unwillingness to do the same for others. https://t.co/VgMqoxQLnI
