UPDATE:

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Los Angeles district attorney declined to prosecute attorney Michael Avenatti on felony domestic abuse charges on Wednesday and referred allegations that he roughed up his girlfriend to the city attorney for a possible misdemeanor case.
Avenatti, 47, was arrested on a felony domestic violence charge last week after his girlfriend told police he abused her at his Los Angeles apartment following an argument.
A restraining order against Avenatti was issued after actress Mareli Miniutti said he dragged her by the arm across a bedroom floor.
Avenatti, who had called the allegations "completely false" and a fabrication, said in a statement he was thankful the district attorney had rejected the charges.

No, she's just starting. But she was in two movies in 2018, and one to be released in 2019...

I like facts. Facts equal truth. It doesn't matter whether I like or hate the accused...

OH NO. I had already been taught what to think of Avenatti by a couple of thousand negative posters

It's still bad enough that he won't have a nat'l political career, now, if that's where he was going

I don't think he was ever charged w/a felony. That's from the Trump-related fake TMZ story. nt

"She hit me first" is from the FAKE TMZ article. TMZ is like National Enquirer...a Trump mouthpiece.

It originated from the fake pro-Trump TMZ article. That was never reported by a real news org. nt
