Celebrity lawyer Mark Geragos lashed out at CNN after the network dropped him as a contributor in the wake of allegations he joined attorney Michael Avenatti in attempting to extort Nike.

Geragos excoriated the network on the “Adam Carolla Show,” calling it the “Know-Nothing Network” and adding, “God forbid that I start telling some of the stories for how I’ve covered for that lame-ass organization.”

“They ought to change their name to the ‘Cut and Run Network,'” Geragos told Carolla. “I’ve been texted by all of their anchors who are as outraged as I am that after 20 years, a press conference is enough to have them immediately want to disassociate themselves.”

A CNN spokesperson told media outlets Geragos was “no longer a CNN contributor” after the allegations against him were raised in the Avenatti case.

Avenatti was charged Monday in two separate cases, one involving allegations he embezzled money from a client and the other involving charges he threatened to release damaging information about Nike unless they paid him. Avenatti has denied the charges.

Geragos, who has represented “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett, actress Winona Ryder and former NFL player Colin Kaepernick, saw his name brought up in the Avenatti case. He was identified by The Wall Street Journal this week as Avenatti’s co-conspirator in a scheme to demand millions from the apparel company.

At attorney for Geragos told the Los Angeles Times that his client did not expect to be charged in the Avenatti case. The Times said Geragos did not address the Avenatti case in a brief interview.

Geragos separately scored a major victory this week in the Smollett case when the Cook County State’s Attorney announced it would drop all charges against the "Empire" actor.

He told Carolla that CNN anchors and reporters had repeatedly attempted to contact him, which he called a “delicious irony.”

Smollett had been charged with 12 felony counts and was accused of filing a false police report relating to claims he was the victim of a racist, homophobic assault in Chicago.
