Fox News host Tucker Carlson has blasted back at celebrity attorney Michael Avenatti's 'assault' accusation, admitting that his adult son splashed wine in the face of a stranger at a country club but saying it was in response to grotesque insults against his teen daughter.

Avenatti, the celebrity attorney of porn star Stormy Daniels, posted a video on Saturday showing Carlson appearing to say 'get the f**k out of here' to another man in a heated exchange.

Avenatti, who was not present for the incident, accused Carlson of 'assault on a gay latino immigrant' named Juan in the heated exchange.

'That is a lie,' Carlson said in a statement to DailyMail.com, saying that the incident occurred at the Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville, Virginia on October 13. 'I restrained myself. I did not assault this man, and neither did my son.'

Carlson explained that the stranger he was seen yelling at in the video had just called his 19-year-old daughter 'Tucker's whore' and a 'f**king c**t'.

The stranger apparently decided to verbally abuse the teen girl after after seeing her seated at the conservative pundit's table, Carlson said.

Full statement of Tucker Carlson in response to Michael Avenatti 'On October 13, I had dinner with two of my children and some family friends at the Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville, Virginia. Toward the end of the meal, my 19-year-old daughter went to the bathroom with a friend. On their way back through the bar, a middle aged man stopped my daughter and asked if she was sitting with Tucker Carlson. My daughter had never seen the man before. She answered: 'That's my dad,' and pointed to me. The man responded, 'Are you Tucker's whore?' He then called her a 'f**king c**t.' 'My daughter returned to the table in tears. She soon left the table and the club. My son, who is also a student, went into the bar to confront the man. I followed. My son asked the man if he'd called his sister a 'wh**e' and a 'c**t.' The man admitted he had, and again become profane. My son threw a glass of red wine in the man's face and told him to leave the bar, which he soon did. 'Immediately after the incident, I described these events to the management of the Farmington Country Club. The club spent more than three weeks investigating the incident. Last week, they revoked the man's membership and threw him out of the club. 'I love my children. It took enormous self-control not to beat the man with a chair, which is what I wanted to do. I think any father can understand the overwhelming rage and shock that I felt seeing my teenage daughter attacked by a stranger. But I restrained myself. I did not assault this man, and neither did my son. That is a lie. Nor did I know the man was gay or Latino, not that it would have mattered. What happened on October 13 has nothing to do with identity politics. It was a grotesque violation of decency. I've never seen anything like it in my life.' Advertisement

'Toward the end of the meal, my 19-year-old daughter went to the bathroom with a friend,' Carlson said.

'On their way back through the bar, a middle aged man stopped my daughter and asked if she was sitting with Tucker Carlson.

'My daughter had never seen the man before. She answered: 'That's my dad,' and pointed to me. The man responded, 'Are you Tucker's wh**e?' He then called her a 'f**king c**t.''

Carlson continued: 'My daughter returned to the table in tears. She soon left the table and the club. My son, who is also a student, went into the bar to confront the man. I followed.

'My son asked the man if he'd called his sister a 'wh**e' and a 'c**t.' The man admitted he had, and again become profane. My son threw a glass of red wine in the man's face and told him to leave the bar, which he soon did.'

Carlson said he described the encounter to the club's management, which investigated the incident and revoked Juan's membership.

'I love my children. It took enormous self-control not to beat the man with a chair, which is what I wanted to do,' Carlson said.

'I think any father can understand the overwhelming rage and shock that I felt seeing my teenage daughter attacked by a stranger. But I restrained myself. I did not assault this man, and neither did my son. That is a lie.

'Nor did I know the man was gay or Latino, not that it would have mattered. What happened on October 13 has nothing to do with identity politics. It was a grotesque violation of decency. I've never seen anything like it in my life,' the statement concluded.

Avenatti responded to Carlson by posting anonymous statements that he claims were written by witnesses to the event.

One, purportedly written by a friend of Juan, describes him as a board member of The Women's Initiative in Charlottesville.

The group has only one board member named Juan, whose bio says he was born in Argentina. That individual did not respond to multiple messages from DailyMail.com seeking comment.

The alleged witness wrote that after Carlson's son had splashed wine in Juan's face: 'I saw Juan retaliate to the assault by the same means (throwing a glass of wine at him). Immediately after that, I saw Mr. Tucker Carlson get very close to Juan's face and say, "Get the f**k out of here" multiple times.'

'Throughout this exchange, I heard Juan respond repeatedly, "I'm not going to get out of here, I live here."

Another alleged witness statement produced by Avenatti denied that Juan had called Carlson's 19-year-old daughter a 'whore' or a 'c**t', or spoken with her at all prior to being accused of doing so.

Avenatti claims that Carlson was 'intoxicated' during the confrontation, but Carlson has said in interviews that he stopped drinking 16 years ago.

The celebrity lawyer also accused Carlson of letting his 19-year-old daughter drink wine at the country club. Carlson's only son is about 21.

Avenatti has often butted heads and traded barbs with Carlson, who habitually labels Avenatti 'the creepy porn lawyer'.

Carlson, on his weeknight show Tucker Carlson Tonight, has repeatedly spoken out to condemn the trend of angry mobs confronting controversial political figures in restaurants and other public places.

But Carlson has never specifically addressed the October 13 incident with his own family until Avenatti published the video.

The Fox News host, a staunch conservative on immigration issues, was also recently targeted by the antifa group Smash Racism DC.

About 20 members of the group pounded on the door of his home and stood outside chanting while Carlson's wife, alone in the house, locked herself in a pantry and called 911.

The group tweeted video of the antifa mob chanting 'we know where you sleep at night'. Police are investigating that incident as a hate crime.
