‘I Am Coming for You’: Avenatti Announces He Won’t Face Charges, Takes Aim at Jacob Wohl for Alleged Setup

Michael Avenatti announced on Friday that he will not be facing any charges following his arrest on suspicion of domestic violence. In a pair of tweets, the attorney who gained notoriety for representing Stormy Daniels stated that the matter was investigated by authorities, and that prosecutors are not pursuing a case against him.

“I am extremely thankful that after three thorough investigations, one by the LAPD, one by the LA District Attorney, and one by the LA City Attorney, the truth of my innocence is now established and no charges are being brought,” Avenatti said. “Every purported victim should have her or his claims investigated. Here, that is exactly what happened.” Avenatti thanked officers and prosecutors for how they handled the case.

Avenatti was arrested back in November. According to court documents, actress Mareli Miniutti claimed that she and Avenatti had been arguing over money on Nov. 13, when he allegedly called her an “ungrateful f**king bitch,” before hitting her in the face with pillows, grabbing her by the wrist, and pulling her off a bed. Miniutti claimed she managed to get away and was texting a friend, when Avenatti allegedly took the phone away from her, grabbed her by the arm, and dragged her into the hallway of the apartment building. When she rang a neighbor’s doorbell, she said, he grabbed her again and made her go back inside.

Los Angeles County prosecutors investigated the matter and decided not to file felony charges. They referred the case to city prosecutors for possible misdemeanor charges, and Avenatti now says he won’t face those either.

Miniutti was granted a restraining order against Avenatti, which was extended on January 23.
