Attorney Michael Avenatti announced Tuesday that he was no longer representing adult film star Stormy Daniels, cutting ties with a client who had propelled him into the national limelight.
In a statement posted to Twitter, Avenatti said he had informed Daniels “in writing” last month that his firm was terminating its representation of her “for various reasons that we cannot disclose publicly due to the attorney-client privilege.”
“This was not a decision we made lightly and it came only after lengthy discussion, thought and deliberation, as well as consultation with other professionals,” Avenatti added. “We wish Stormy all the best.”
