Stormy Daniels Accuses Michael Avenatti of Filing Trump Defamation Case Against Her Wishes and Not Accounting for Donations
Porn start actress and stripper Stormy Daniels has accused her attorney Michael Avenatti of filing a defamation suit against President Donald Trump against her wishes. Trump won that case in October and was awarded attorney fees, leaving Daniels on the hook for a reported $350,000.
Daniels also accused Avenatti of ignoring her requests for an accounting of donations raised for her defense and opening a second fundraising account in her name without her permission.
Daniels made the accusation in a statement to the Daily Beast on Wednesday.
“For months I’ve asked Michael Avenatti to give me accounting information about the fund my supporters so generously donated to for my safety and legal defense. He has repeatedly ignored those requests. Days ago I demanded again, repeatedly, that he tell me how the money was being spent and how much was left.

…”Michael has not treated me with the respect and deference an attorney should show to a client. He has spoken on my behalf without my approval. He filed a defamation case against Donald Trump against my wishes. He repeatedly refused to tell me how my legal defense fund was being spent. Now he has launched a new crowdfunding campaign using my face and name without my permission and attributing words to me that I never wrote or said”…
