Least surprising headline of the year

You could see this one coming down Wilshire Boulevard:
Michael Avenatti, who became famous for representing Stormy Daniels in her battle with President Trump, has been arrested for felony domestic violence ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

Our law enforcement sources say Avenatti was arrested Wednesday after a woman filed a felony DV report. We're told her face was "swollen and bruised" with "red marks" on both cheeks.

Our sources say the alleged incident occurred Tuesday night, but there was another confrontation Wednesday between the two at an exclusive apartment building in the Century City area of L.A. 
I'm not a fan of TMZ generally, but on this sort of thing they're quite good. There's more:
We're told Wednesday afternoon the woman was on the sidewalk on her cellphone with sunglasses covering her eyes, sobbing and screaming on the phone, "I can't believe you did this to me.  I'm going to get a restraining order against you."

We're told security brought her inside the building, took her upstairs and Michael showed up 5 minutes later and ran into the building. He screamed repeatedly, "She hit me first." We're told he angrily added, "This is bulls***, this is f***ing bulls***."  We're told he tried getting into the elevator but security denied him access. 

Cops showed up and escorted Avenatti into a corner of the apartment lobby and spoke with him for 5 to 10 minutes and then took him into custody.
It's been clear from the outset that this guy is pond scum, but without the essential nutrients. He trotted out his current wife and his former wife as character witnesses, but the issue here is what happened with the woman who is filing charges. Is she honest? Is she Julie Swetnick? Maybe Avenatti was facilitating gang rapes on the beach?

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead

This much I know -- there's more evidence against Avenatti than he provided when he went after Brett Kavanaugh. And I may need to go out to the ol' Hy-Vee and get some more popcorn.

Everything about Avenatti, including this, just screams "midlife crisis gone bad."

I'm turning 50 next year. Maybe I'd better schedule mine by getting a carbon fiber bicycle or something wild and crazy like that. :^)

Bubba - it's a lot easier if you make sure to get your trophy wife the first time you marry.

two striker here... at this point, i'll settle for a trophy-bachelorehood (spell check!)

as for Avenatti, he just puffed up his resume to run for president as a democrat.

RA: done, and agreed. I may have to get Mrs. Bubba a carbon fiber bike, too.

Gino: sorry to hear that. I'd thought things were shaping up with #2.

Yep, about 3-4 years ago.
