Lawyers for Lisa Storie-Avenatti, his wife, also provided a statement on Wednesday, responding to earlier reports that she was involved in the alleged incident: "Ms. Storie-Avenatti was not subject to any such incident on Tuesday night. Further, she was not at Mr. Avenattis apartment on the date that this alleged incident occurred. My client states that there has never been domestic violence in her relationship with Michael and that she has never known Michael to be physically violent toward anyone. My client requests that the media respect her privacy and that of the parties young son."
Finally, Avenatti's first wife, Christine Avenatti-Carlin, also gave a statement on Wednesday, saying, "Ive known Michael for the last 26 years, we met when he was 21 years old and we were married for 13 years. Michael has always been a loving kind father to our two daughters and husband. He has never been abusive to me or anyone else. He is a very good man.

There's certainly PLENTY of motive to set up Michael.

(54,770 posts)questionable, he has been on the media circuit, he has delusions of running for Prez, and likely more. Sounds like he's living on the edge and maybe stressed out. I was big on Alan Grayson, even contributed to him from another state, but he too screwed up in the limelight.
I hope you guys are right, but he wouldn't be the first one to screw up like this.
