Something weird is going on with Avenatti's Twitter account. [View all]

I checked his tweets very early this morning and I read a new one that basically said his client was going to do her interview when SHE was ready and when they were sure all safety concerns were established. He expected the interview to take place in the next 36 hours.

I went back later to check for updates and his twitter is basically shut down. A blank page has the following text:

This account's Tweets are protected.
Only confirmed followers have access to @MichaelAvenatti's Tweets and complete profile. Click the "Follow" button to send a follow request.

Is he being attacked, harassed or threatened now? Is somebody playing hardball?

yes, I just posted this in an earlier thread. I checked his feed this morning and it's locked? weird jezebel321 Sep 2018 #1

My first immediate thought was somebody sees him as a dangerous threat. PearliePoo2 Sep 2018 #13

That was a private school head (principal). After Avenatti retweeted it, the school fired the guy. Princess Turandot Sep 2018 #24

Not to be picky, but I read that they had suspended him. Not sure if he will be fired. dameatball Sep 2018 #26

works fine for me... spanone Sep 2018 #4

RU a follower? n/t rzemanfl Sep 2018 #6

Yes. spanone Sep 2018 #9

That's why it works for you. Please keep us posted. n/t rzemanfl Sep 2018 #11

Thanks! That explains it then. I'm not signed up for Twitter. Not sure yet if I will. PearliePoo2 Sep 2018 #21

do you follow his feed? If so you would still be able to see it. nt jezebel321 Sep 2018 #7

I imagine, since the trolls and bots seem to be out here, the same is true for his Twitter. n/t rzemanfl Sep 2018 #5

He posted this message: spooky3 Sep 2018 #8

Thank you! I don't have a Twitter account. I'm still on the fence about getting one. PearliePoo2 Sep 2018 #16

I have tweeted a handful of times blaze Sep 2018 #25

Thanks for that information! PearliePoo2 Sep 2018 #32

Yes, you start with no followers blaze Sep 2018 #37

ITS UP AND running now yuiyoshida Sep 2018 #10

Do you follow him? n/t rzemanfl Sep 2018 #12

Yes of course yuiyoshida Sep 2018 #14

That's probably why it works for you. n/t rzemanfl Sep 2018 #15

I don't think you can block certain type of people yuiyoshida Sep 2018 #17

Followers are/were the only ones allowed in from what I have seen. n/t rzemanfl Sep 2018 #19

Except you know when people are following you yuiyoshida Sep 2018 #23

Trumpanzees made it easy to know who to block meow2u3 Sep 2018 #43

His acct is temporarily blocked from NON-followers. I follow, so not blocked to me. Honeycombe8 Sep 2018 #36

OH... yuiyoshida Sep 2018 #46

Says this ismnotwasm Sep 2018 #18

Call me "unsurprised". libdem4life Sep 2018 #20

Yes, I saw that interview and I think you've nailed his demeanor. PearliePoo2 Sep 2018 #22

I read it as "mad as hell" we'll see. n/t rzemanfl Sep 2018 #27

Maybe Kavanaugh's adult virgin proclamation gave his client cold feet Alhena Sep 2018 #29

Makes no sense. His client(s) haven't alleged rape by Kavanaugh. nt Honeycombe8 Sep 2018 #35

They are truly scared of him. He has no fear and flaunts it. libdem4life Sep 2018 #38

It's not closed. It's temporarily blocked to non-followers 'cause of bots & trolls. Honeycombe8 Sep 2018 #33

Here you go: Kingofalldems Sep 2018 #28

Here's the answer: brooklynite Sep 2018 #30

I hope he does. But what about the woman? libdem4life Sep 2018 #34

It's not blocked if you are a follower. It's not blocked to me, since I "followed" him. Honeycombe8 Sep 2018 #31

He does this periodically to boost followers jberryhill Sep 2018 #39

I clicked follow an hour ago and it still says "pending." So it doesn't happen automatically, pnwmom Sep 2018 #41

I'm also surprised people use these things without knowing how they work jberryhill Sep 2018 #42

Okay, but that doesn't explain what you meant by this: pnwmom Sep 2018 #44

They're making a list, and checking it twice jberryhill Sep 2018 #45
