Disgraced porn lawyer Michael Avenatti sent a DM to The Federalist’s Erielle Davidson where he mocked her . . . wait for it . . . number of followers on Twitter:
Try to derive self-worth from somewhere outside Twitter, @MichaelAvenatti. This is just sad. pic.twitter.com/BAvqvFa797

And, yes, this is 100% real:
Wait – this is real?? THIS IS HILARIOUS ?
— Lauren Chen (@TheLaurenChen) July 17, 2019
Real. And I know.

Avenatti also has more pending indictments than Erielle, which for some reason he left out:
Tell him he has more indictments than you too.

On the one hand, he has been indicted in two states for tax evasion, fraud, and embezzlement & faces possible disbarment. On the other hand, he has more Twitter followers than @politicalelle https://t.co/GYP1ogajRJ

Maybe he thinks his follower count will help him keep his license?
Kind of shocked he’s not more focused on California trying to prevent him from practicing law:https://t.co/0rV72tsCUk

It appears it was this back-and-forth with best-selling author Mollie Hemingway that set Avenatti off:

Now tell many people how many books you have actually sold nationwide through all channels, including Amazon. Is it even 100k copies sold?
— Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) July 17, 2019
Someone asked me how much we were paying Michael Avenatti to promote our #1 best-selling book. So for the record, we are not actually paying Michael Avenatti to promote our book. He is doing it for free, God bless him!
— Mollie (@MZHemingway) July 17, 2019
Mollie – answer the question. Stop deceiving your followers. How many copies? Your book is garbage – you fabricated facts. And now you are dodging me and refusing to appear with me to defend your work? Why? Because you know you created a bogus narrative.

Dude, you’re so irrelevant, it hurts.
— Erielle Davidson (@politicalelle) July 17, 2019
It really is sad, isn’t it?
Feel bad for him.
