In Part 2 of DailyMailTV's two-part exclusive interview, Mareli Miniutti describes how attorney Michael Avenatti became obsessed with fame and his dreams of being President of the United States.

Michael Avenatti laughed in girlfriend Mareli Miniutti's face when she told him she was looking for a waitressing job.

In a patronizing tone the 48-year-old high profile lawyer asked his much younger partner: 'Mareli, do you know who you are dating?'

Aspiring actress Miniutti, 25, from Estonia, looked at her boyfriend in confusion - 'you' she said.

'No, no, no, no,' he replied. 'You don't understand. How can the next First Lady of the United States of America work as a waitress?'

Such was Avenatti's burgeoning ambition and downright arrogance that the lawyer and Democratic campaigner believed deep down that one day he would become president.

And what's more the man who made himself President Trump's arch enemy by representing porn star Stormy Daniels, was not about to let his girl 'humiliate' herself with such a low-skilled position.

In a statement to DailyMailTV, Avenatti said: 'These outlandish claims are unsubstantiated and completely bogus.'

He added: 'Is she now a waitress?'

Mareli Miniutti, 25, has spoken exclusively to DailyMailTV about her relationship with disgraced celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti. The aspiring actress said Avenatti became controlling and laughed in her face when she said she might take a job as a waitress because it would 'humiliate' herself

The couple first met at upscale Italian restaurant Cecconi's in West Hollywood in October 2017. Avenatti seemingly had the full package - successful job, nice apartment, nice cars, access to a private jet and expensive hobbies. The lawyer then wooed Miniutti with an all expenses paid trip to Europe

Miniutti said: 'We were having a great time, but there were certain things that happened that worried me - there were times where I would see glimpses of his controlling personality. For example he went absolutely crazy at the airport staff leaving for Europe because the line was so long'. Pictured: The couple on vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

In day two of her exclusive interview with DailyMailTV, Miniutti reveals how Avenatti became obsessed with making it to the White House and made it his mission to topple President Trump.

Miniutti said she was shocked when Avenatti laughed in her face over the waitress job.

'After all,' she says. 'What's wrong with being a waitress? I was happy to do any job, it's nothing to be ashamed of. But he just wouldn't let me do it, he wasn't happy, it was too important to his image to keep me away from the idea.'

He was loving the attention and in his mind he thought that one day he could become president - I told him he's delusional.

She claims the hard-charging California litigator confided in her that it was his childhood dream to become president and that was the reason he studied law.

And now with a whirlwind of national and international publicity surrounding him and his client Stormy Daniels, Avenatti felt he was inching one step closer to the Oval Office.

'At first I was excited for him and really proud, but I noticed he became obsessed,' recalls Miniutti. 'He wanted to do every interview he could. He'd go on CNN 20 times and say the same thing over and over.

'He was taking calls from journalists all day and night and I would go with him to dinners with journalists, for example we met Anderson Cooper for dinner in New York.

'He was loving the attention and in his mind he thought that one day he could become president - I told him he's delusional.'

Miniutti says that when her 'narcissistic' boyfriend showed up on the red carpet of MTV's Video Music Awards last August without telling her, it was the beginning of the end.

She suggested to him that he had taken his press tour too far and was enjoying the attention a little too much.

Miniutti was living with Avenatti at his $22,000 luxury apartment in Century City, Los Angeles and he was paying her expenses and letting her drive around in his brand new Range Rover. But she says that she was always late paying the rent on an apartment he told her to keep and her credit cards were at their limits (pictured together in Paris)

'We had only been dating for about four weeks and he said, ''let's go to Europe for like a month.'' 'He said he'd pay for my rent and help handle my divorce from my husband in New York. He said take some time off and come travel with me, so I did. 'We went to London, Paris, Florence. We flew Norwegian business class and stayed at nice hotels and apartments'.

The actress added: 'In Florence I said I wanted to stop for Gelato and he said no like I was a child. He was always telling me how to behave, what to do'

'It didn't go down well at all,' she recalls. 'He said if I ever said anything like that to him again we would be finished. I had obviously hit a nerve, he got really defensive and angry.

'He then said he was doing the red carpets for political reasons.'

The obsessive behavior continued and Avenatti pored over videos of his interviews making his girlfriend watch them over and over again.

'He'd kept rewinding them to show me something he said and he was also obsessed with Twitter, reading every single comment. We'd be at dinner and he wouldn't put his phone down or a reporter would call and he'd take it.

'I quickly realized that Michael was more interested in the fame of being a celebrity lawyer than he was in having a voice for good. And he was certainly more interested in the attention than in me.'

Miniutti also recalls Avenatti fantasizing about buying a mega-mansion in Beverly Hills and would show her photos of $10 million seven-bedroom properties he liked.

'We didn't go to see them in person, but he almost made appointments.

'He convinced me that, 'oh my God, can you believe you're going to be the star of my TV show and the next First Lady.'

'He would say, 'can you imagine I'm going to have my 50th birthday in the White House?...We would be the first couple marrying in a White House. Imagine that.'

Avenatti didn't keep his White House aspirations secret either.

He made his intentions very clear during the last six months of 2018, appearing at dozens of Democratic events across the country and consulting with political strategists.

Miniutti, a stunning, tall blonde beauty from Voru in Estonia - a small town of 14,000 people - described their sex life as average. 'It was like eating salted crackers,' she explained cuttingly. 'You don't crave them but you eat when the doctor says you should'

The actress, who played Met Gala star Cassandra in hit movie Ocean's 8, says Avenatti's behavior deteriorated as their relationship progressed

His chances of securing the Democratic nomination always seemed unlikely, but he pitched himself as a Trump-type wildcard, which seemed to appeal to some voters.

In December 2018, he issued a statement saying he would not run for President in 2020 after consulting with his family.

But this time, a string of personal and professional woes meant few would likely have taken his political aspirations seriously anyhow.

The actress, who played Met Gala star Cassandra in hit movie Ocean's 8, says Avenatti's behavior deteriorated as their relationship progressed.

He was aggressive, short-tempered, controlling and manipulative towards her, she claims.

Not only did he not want his girlfriend waiting tables he also liked the idea of having her at his beck and call when he jetted back from work trips to New York.

She was living with him at his $22,000 luxury apartment in Century City, Los Angeles and he was paying her expenses and letting her drive around in his brand new Range Rover.

But she says that she was always late paying the rent on an apartment he told her to keep and her credit cards were at their limits.

After the Stormy Daniels scandal erupted Miniutti saw less and less of her boyfriend. He became distant and they began to fight more.

'He was enjoying every minute of that fame, attention and success,' she says. 'And I was really, really happy for him and supportive, but it felt like very soon, there was nothing else going on in the relationship.'

Of course it wasn't always like that.

The couple first met at upscale Italian restaurant Cecconi's in West Hollywood in October 2017.

Miniutti recalls how she was having dinner with a friend at the bar when a man started a conversation with her.

'I turned around for a split second and when I turned back the man was gone. 'Michael was stood there and he had literally pushed the guy out of the way to speak with me.'

Attracted to his self-assured confidence and cocky demeanor the actress hit it off with Avenatti and they soon began dating.

I think the problem is Michael doesn't understand himself how delusional he is and at this point he believes his own lies.

'He struck my interest, everything was unexpected with him,' she recalls.

'He was also full on from the get go. The day after we met we had lunch, the day after that we had dinner and the day after that we had dinner again.

'I remember on the first date he was showing me pictures and saying we should go on vacation together, we should go to Iceland, we should go to Italy.'

Three weeks after they met Miniutti went to a bachelorette party in Las Vegas and stayed on for a film shoot.

'Michael sent his private jet to pick me up, it was completely empty just me. I kind of liked that, can you blame me, I was a 23-year-old girl. I felt really flattered, especially because he always gave me special treatment.

'I liked his vibe, he was also racing cars, I remember we went to a car race in Monterey and he was racing, I was super excited, I was like a cheerleader for him.'

'We were having a great time, but there were certain things that happened that worried me - there were times where I would see glimpses of his controlling personality.

'For example he went absolutely crazy at the airport staff leaving for Europe because the line was so long and then in Florence I said I wanted to stop for Gelato and he said no like I was a child. He was always telling me how to behave, what to do.

'Eventually I started beating myself up and it affected my self-esteem because he was very controlling over everything.'

Miniutti, from Voru in Estonia - a small town of 14,000 people - described their sex life as average.

'It was like eating salted crackers,' she explained cuttingly. 'You don't crave them but you eat when the doctor says you should.'

Miniutti says Avenatti's bizarre behavior deteriorated as their relationship progressed. He was aggressive, short-tempered, controlling and manipulative towards her. Not only did he not want his girlfriend waiting tables he also liked the idea of having her at his beck and call when he jetted back from work trips to New York

The lawyer had told Miniutti he was divorced and had two daughters, but he failed to mention he had a young son with second wife Lisa Storie to whom he was still married

She also claims that much older Avenatti often struggled to perform in the bedroom, citing stress as the reason.

'He would say ''it's me, not you baby.'' He did have a stressful life, so I hid my disappointment. '

She added: 'The relationship was way nicer in the beginning, I believe the whole fame took over.

'I think the problem is Michael doesn't understand himself how delusional he is and at this point he believes his own lies.'

After they split in November last year following a blazing row which ended with Avenatti violently throwing her out of his apartment in her underwear, Miniutti began to realize some of the lies she had been told.

The lawyer had told her he was divorced and had two daughters, but he failed to mention he had a young son with second wife Lisa Storie to whom he was still married.

'He even told me Lisa had remarried and had twins,' she said. Why tell me that, I wouldn't have cared either way. I met his daughters so why lie about his son? It's crazy.

'He promised a lot of things while we were together, but they were empty promises.'
