Rudy Giuliani Went After Stormy Daniels Again, and Her Lawyer Just Eviscerated Him on CNN

Rudy Giuliani Went After Stormy Daniels Again, and Her Lawyer Just Eviscerated Him on CNN

That's gonna leave a mark.

Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for adult film star Stormy Daniels (whose real name is Stephanie Clifford), shredded Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday after the Trump lawyer and former New York City Mayor made demeaning remarks about Clifford.

Avenatti called Giuliani "an absolute pig."


In his comments to a conference in Tel Aviv, Israel earlier Wednesday, Giuliani said of Clifford: "The business you were in entitles you to no degree of giving your credibility any weight." Giuliani then said that a woman who does porn does "not have a reputation," implying they are undeserving of respect.

Explain to me how she could be damaged. I mean, she has no reputation. If you're going to sell your body for money, you just don't have a reputation. I may be old-fashioned, I dunno.

Giuliani added that he does respect women who star in adult films, just not in "the way I respect a career woman or a woman of substance or a woman who ... isn't going to sell her body for sexual exploitation."

Appearing on AC 360 on Wednesday night, Avenatti tore into Giuliani, calling him "an absolute pig for making those comments."

"He's basically stating that women that engage in the adult film industry and other forms of pornography don't have reputations and are not entitled to respect," Avenatti told host Anderson Cooper.

Avenatti said President Donald Trump should fire Giuliani over his remarks, which he called "piggish" and "outrageous."

I certainly hope that we are not going to reach a place where Rudy Giuliani is going to be the police who is going to decide which women deserve respect or not. His comments are piggish, they are outrageous especially in today's day and age and he should be fired immediately by the President.

Later on Wednesday, Avenatti took to Twitter to further slam Giuliani.

Early Thursday morning, Avenatti tweeted that his client "should be celebrated for her courage, strength, and intelligence."

Avenatti and Giuliani have been sparring in the months since Trump hired Giuliani to represent him in Special Counsel Rober Mueller's investigation into Russian collusion.

Meanwhile, Avenatti represents Clifford in several lawsuits she has mounted against Trump, with whom she claims to have had an affair in 2006.

Clifford is also suing Trump's former attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen, as well as her former lawyer, Keith Davidson, for failing to properly represent her in a non-disclosure agreement she signed with Cohen on behalf of Trump. Clifford also received $130,000 in hush money through the NDA.

Clifford is also suing Trump for defamation.

Last month, Giuliani referred to Avenatti as an "ambulance chaser" who is only after money.

“What do you think she (Clifford) is about, and her lawyer (Michael Avenatti), who’s an ambulance chaser?” Giuliani asked host Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business Network’s Mornings with Maria.

Money, money, money, money, money. They sold out cheap, because the allegations aren’t true. She’s written a letter and signed it, saying was untrue. The president has said it was untrue.”

Avenatti replied on Twitter:

the only “ambulance” I have ever chased in my career is the one you are driving right now in a desperate attempt to save this presidency.

People Share Their Most Embarrassing Small Town Stories

I lived most of my life in a very small town in Northern Maine. There were about 200 kids in my high school and there were 56 kids in my graduating class—we were tied with the class of 1961 for the largest class ever.

When the primary employer in town—Pinkham Lumber Mill—shut down, the town got even smaller. Now the senior class is considered large if it reaches double digits.
