Alex Jones's Ex-Wife Seeks Avenatti for Custody Case

ALEX JONES’S EX-WIFE WANTS MICHAEL AVENATTI TO REPRESENT HER IN CUSTODY BATTLE WITH 'INFOWARS' HOST

Kelly Jones repeatedly referred to her ex-husband as a "vengeful narcissist" who last year was forced to prove to a Travis County court he wasn't just a right-wing "performance artist" during the ongoing custody battle. Kelly Jones said that while many people asked whether her ex-husband was just acting, she insisted that Alex Jones believed the things he said on his InfoWars broadcasts. “There is no 'We’re gonna turn off the camera and live our lives.' It’s him, you can see that from his participation in broadcasting the LAX event," Kelly Jones told Newsweek on Thursday.

Kelly Jones said the incident would almost be laughable if it were not so sad. “This is the kids' vacation with their dad, out chasing around this politician and broadcasting it to make everything about him on their vacation."

Avenatti's office, which famously represents former adult film star Stormy Daniels, aka Stephanie Clifford, told Newsweek on Thursday it could not comment on potential clients reaching out to their Newport Beach, California–based law firm. Avenatti has previously represented Paris Hilton and Jim Carrey.

Kelly Jones, who filed for divorce against Alex Jones in 2013, told Newsweek she’d been involved in arduous custody and tort litigation with her former husband for her right to see their three children: G.G., a 10-year-old girl; C.A., a second daughter who is now 14; and their 16-year-old son, Rex Jones. The teenager appeared on air in a March InfoWars broadcast, where he challenged Parkland, Florida, school shooting survivor David Hogg to "stop attacking the First Amendment."

In light of recent press reports: We were previously approached by Kelly Jones, the ex-wife of Alex Jones, regarding potential representation but we have not pursued the representation as we generally do not handle custody matters.

3. I feel for anybody who had to live with that piece of crap, but Avenatti's very busy.

Better to find somebody else.

4. "We do not handle custody matters"

Also, my personal legal credo: One lunatic adversary at a time.
