During a recent interview, adult film actress Stormy Daniels made it clear that Michael Avenatti is no longer her lawyer. When asked about their current legal relationship, Daniels responded with emphasis, stating, 'No.'
She went on to explain that she had fired Avenatti, who was later found guilty of stealing from not only her but also several other clients. Daniels revealed that Avenatti had been disbarred and is currently serving time in prison.
In December 2022, Avenatti was sentenced to 14 years in prison and was ordered to pay nearly $11 million in restitution for embezzling millions of dollars from four of his clients and obstructing justice.
This development sheds light on the legal troubles that Avenatti has faced and the impact it has had on his former clients, including Stormy Daniels. The case serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of transparency and trust in attorney-client relationships.
