Politics Stormy Daniels' lawyer: Trump attorney Michael Cohen got $500K from Russian-linked firm

I heard the clintons used the money to build a PedoPizza Playland facility whereas Cohen is obviously donating everything to Black Lives Matter.

Porn star Tasha Reign accuses Stormy Daniels of turning blind eye to sexual assault while on film set

A porn star accused Stormy Daniels of doing nothing when she approached her about being groped on the set of an adult film.

Tasha Reign, whose real name is Rachel Swimmer, told The Daily Beast in an interview published Monday that she was sexually assaulted by a crew member on the set of “The Set Up,” which was being directed by Daniels under Wicked Pictures.

Reign said the situation wasn’t handled appropriately.

“I was sexually assaulted by one of her crew members. He groped and grabbed me from behind,” Reign said. “I spoke up immediately because I was in the moment, and I was so proud of myself. She was the director that day, I went straight to her and straight to the man that did it, we had a conversation about it, I went to the owner of Wicked Pictures, I did all the right things. And she did not handle the situation appropriately, respectfully or professionally.

“So it’s a little bit outrageous when I hear her say things about how she is standing up for women and wants to be a voice for other women to be able to come forward when I was assaulted on her set and she didn’t give me any care or attention, and didn’t even send that man home.”


Reign also brought up the accusations against Daniels in January in a series of tweets, in which Daniels accused Reign of undermining her directorial skills.

Reign told The Daily Beast that when she confronted the crew member he claimed that he was just joking. Daniels was completely silent, she said.

Daniels’ attorney Michael Avenatti told the outlet the allegations didn’t occur the way Reign remembers it.

“Ms. Daniels’ recollection of what happened is vastly different. Further, after the incident in question, Wicked performed a thorough investigation and found no substantiation for the allegations. It simply did not occur as Ms. Reign suggests,” he said.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, filed a lawsuit against President Trump after alleging that she had sex with him in 2006 and claimed she was paid $130,000 in hush money in the days leading up to the 2016 presidential election as part of a non-disclosure agreement.

Much of the developments surrounding Stormy Daniels’ lawsuit against President Donald Trump have focused on the business dealings of attorney Michael Cohen, but an investigation by The Daily Caller News Foundation reveals that Daniels’ counsel, Michael Avenatti, has his own questionable history.

Avenatti’s past is littered with lawsuits, jilted business partners and bankruptcy filings. People who have worked with the lawyer described him to TheDCNF as ruthless, greedy and unbothered by ethical questions.

Dillanos Coffee CEO David Morris claimed last Tuesday that Avenatti never paid him for over $160,000 worth of coffee that Dillanos supplied to Avenatti’s company. “So @StormyDaniels hot shot lawyer Michael owes my small company @Dillanos $160,179 for coffee,” Morris wrote on Twitter. “He talks a big talk about integrity. We trusted him.”

“Michael Avenatti owned Tully’s coffee. They were a large chain of coffee shops. We are a wholesale roaster. We supplied his coffee. The $160,000 represented only a few weeks worth of beans. We cut him off when he wouldn’t pay, he had to close,” Morris explained in a subsequent tweet.

The Daily Caller News Foundation on Thursday interviewed Avenatti over the phone on several topics including Morris’s accusations, which Avenatti denied. “I don’t owe Dillanos coffee anything. I personally don’t owe them anything,” he said. “So that’s nonsense.”

But just three hours later, Morris announced that he had deleted his original tweet after working out “an arrangement” with Avenatti.

A spokesperson for Dillanos told TheDCNF that Dillanos’ new agreement was with Avenatti personally but declined to disclose any details of the arrangement. Avenatti declined to comment on the reported agreement.

Avenatti first purchased Tully’s in 2013 after going into business with actor Patrick Dempsey. The pair purchased the coffee chain through a parent company, Global Baristas LLC, closing the deal on June 30, 2013. Dempsey sued Avenatti just 10 weeks later.

“My decision to become a member and manager of Global Baristas was based, in part, on Michael Avenatti’s representation that he would provide both the capital to fund the entire Tully’s acquisition and sufficient working capital to allow Global Baristas to operate the Tully’s Coffee stores once the acquisition was completed,” Dempsey said in an August 20, 2013, affidavit.

“Michael Avenatti never notified me that he intended to have or caused Global Baristas to borrow $2,000,000 for working capital, nor did he notify me that he planned to have or caused the company to pledge substantially all, if not all, of its assets to secure any loan,” Dempsey charged. Avenatti denied the accusations but agreed to a settlement just three days later.

Avenatti no longer owns Global Baristas LLC, and said he divested from the company in 2017, but he remains Tully’s general counsel.

David Nold, a Seattle attorney representing several Tully’s vendors, filed a complaint against Avenatti with the California State Bar on March 26, accusing him of fraud.

“In essence, he bought a company out of bankruptcy and then used it for a ‘pump and dump’ scheme to deprive federal and state taxing authorities of millions of dollars,” Nold claimed.

Those who have worked with Avenatti describe an individual obsessed with fame and willing to use unethical methods to win a case.

“He honestly believes he can get up and say or do anything he wants and there’s no repercussions — largely there’s not,” said one individual who has worked with Avenatti in the past.

“I know this guy; he doesn’t care about anybody but himself. He loves the attention. It’s his whole lifestyle.”

An individual who worked with Avenatti pointed to his work in a number of high-profile cases like going up against Jim Carrey and Paris Hilton as examples of his strategy of garnering as much attention as possible.

In the case of Carrey, Avenatti represented a family claiming the actor was responsible for his girlfriend’s drug overdose and subsequent death. That suit was eventually dropped without Avenatti’s client collecting any damages.

The setback mirrors another in 2012, where a $41 million verdict he won against accounting firm KPMG was reversed and the consequences of the losses are reflected in his stints at a growing list of various firms.

Yet Avenatti hasn’t limited his career to law. Outside of experimenting in artisanal coffee, he’s also dabbled in professional car racing.

This strategy, according to those who know him, helps Avenatti project an image of success, even if his ventures like Eagan O’Malley & Avenatti, LLP — which eventually filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2017 — aren’t successful.

Two other lawyers associated with that firm have cut off business dealings with Avenatti, who now appears to be a solo practitioner.
