Stormy Daniels says jury found Michael Avenatti’s "true character"

“Sadly, it appears what Michael Avenatti did to me was just the tip of an iceberg of deceit,” wrote Daniels, a former client of Avenatti who claims he stole $300,000 from her and forged her signature, on Instagram.

“I am not surprised his dishonesty has been revealed on a grand scale,” she said, after Avenatti was found guilty on all counts for trying to extort up to $25 million from sports-apparel giant Nike.

“His arrogant, fraudulent and overly aggressive behavior became so pervasive that the jury found his true character,” she added of the lawyer, whose case was tried in Manhattan federal court.
