Michael Avenatti grilled his former client, porn star Stormy Daniels, about comments she made about him being sexually assaulted in prison and her claims that she’s able to speak to the dead at his criminal trial in Manhattan federal court Friday morning.
The disgraced attorney, who is accused of stealing nearly $300,000 from Daniels in 2018, began his cross-examination of his former client Friday by highlighting the statements she made on a podcast and on social media about him being raped in prison.
“On Sept. 27, 2019 … You stated that I was ‘f—ing myself pretty nice and hard and that when I go to prison, there will be a long line of people to ass-rape me,’” Avenatti, who is acting as his own attorney at the trial, asked Daniels.
The adult entertainer said she didn’t recall the specific statement, but did not deny making it.
Avenatti then raised a statement Daniels made on Twitter about her having a brand of sex lubricant that he could use in prison.
“You suggested you could put Tabasco sauce in the lube and bring it to me in prison, so I could be anally raped,” he asked Daniels, who did not deny making the statement.
Avenatti then quizzed Daniels on a series of statements she made about her alleged paranormal abilities, which she has advertised for a forthcoming television show, “Spooky Babes.”
Daniels has claimed she’s able to speak with the dead, read Tarot cards, see through the walls of a house and be put into a trance that gives her the ability to solve crimes, according to her testimony.
“You believe that you’re a medium,” Avenatti asked.
