Michael Avenatti, the “creepy porn lawyer” who gained national recognition for representing porn star Stormy Daniels in her legal battle against President Donald Trump, allegedly struck a woman so hard her face was left “swollen and bruised” after a domestic altercation.

On Wednesday, the celebrity website TMZ received a tip from law enforcement sources that said Avenatti was arrested for domestic abuse.

A tweet from the Los Angeles Police Department corroborated TMZ’s story.

The woman Avenatti allegedly beat was found on the sidewalk outside of an apartment building crying and screaming into her phone.

“I can’t believe you did this to me. I’m going to get a restraining order on you,” she screamed, according to TMZ.

Security took her inside the apartment building, and that’s when Avenatti showed up.

“She hit me first,” he screamed, according to TMZ.

The incident left the woman’s face “swollen and bruised” with “red marks” on her cheeks, TMZ reported.

Donald Trump Jr. wasted no time in spreading the news.

It was originally believed that the woman involved was Avenatti’s wife, but it turned out to be another unknown woman.

TMZ updated: “We were initially told by our sources the alleged victim was Avenatti’s estranged wife. We now know it was not. The incident involved a different woman.” I think this is actually worse for Creepy Porn Lawyer Michael Avenatti — Benny (@bennyjohnson) November 15, 2018

If Avenatti did attack the woman, that’s horrible enough. We don’t know the extent of the damage to her face, and hopefully it will not be lasting, but it was apparently enough to leave marks that were clearly visible.

And any kind of injury from a domestic dispute like this is heartbreaking.

Women who are victimized in such incidents are often forced to hide their injuries, and forced to answer humiliating questions about what happened.

In the Avenatti case, things will likely get even worse for the woman if the media finds out her identity.

A normal life for this woman, at least temporarily, has vanished.

It’s a similar story among several women that leftists have preyed upon. The woman preyed upon by former President Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky, is still hounded for interviews and comments about the affair 20 years later.

It’s an even sadder story for a woman allegedly attacked by Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison. She had to go to therapy because of his assault.

Yet liberals accuse conservatives of being the party that is fighting a “war on women.”
