Avenatti's Ex-Girlfriend Mareli Miniutti: He Violently Dragged Me Out of Bed, Called Me a F*cking B*

In a restraining order filed Monday, the 24-year-old actress claims the lawyer pummeled her with pillows and violently dragged her out of bed while yelling, "Do not disrespect me."

LOS ANGELES—Stormy Daniels’ lawyer Michael Avenatti violently dragged his ex-girlfriend out of his apartment and called her an “ungrateful bitch,” according to court documents.

Mareli Miniutti also claimed that Avenatti hit her in the face with pillows while he berated her and ranted about how she had disrespected him.

The 24-year-old actress was granted a temporary restraining order, pending a court hearing on December 10, against Avenatti, 47, on Monday. Avenatti was arrested on domestic violence charges related to the alleged incident last week.

In the documents, Miniutti states that she is “afraid that [Avenatti] may cause harm to me and harass me.”

Along with the alleged November 13 assault, Miniutti also claimed the high-profile lawyer was physically violent to her in February 2018. On that occasion, she alleged, he became angry at her after drinking and pushed her into a hallway—where she hit her head—before throwing shoes at her.

And it was his apartment.

One thing is for sure, he shouldn't need a restraining order to stay away from her. He should run the other way whenever he sees her.

In a tweet Monday night, Avenatti responded to domestic violence allegations, claiming he was a “target.”

“I look forward to a full clearing of my name and disclosure of all of the facts. I have NEVER abused a woman or committed domestic violence against anyone. Any claim to the contrary is completely bogus and fabricated. I am a target. And I will be exonerated,” tweeted the attorney.

And later on Monday he tweeted “There is nothing more powerful than video evidence. NOTHING! I will be fully exonerated.”

Seems strange to me that the information about her is sketchy to non-existent.

Is this thinking that women lie about assault anytime it is a liberal male being accused?

...when one of Jacob Wohl’s right-wing front groups publicly takes credit for the arrest the minute it happens?

It takes a LOT of evidence to get most on board.
Prepare to be dissed for saying it though. I have my own personal troll who lives for it.

Franken- ridiculous accusations.

Ellison- don't know enough, but accusations seem spurious from what I have read.

Avenatti- he seems shady as fuck, so I find the accusations believable (I realize that I am in the small minority here). I know all the age is just a number blah blah blah, but it seems strange that someone who is 47 has all that much in common with a 24 year old (besides the obvious).
