The original TMZ story published on November 15 claims that Avenatti’s accuser first had a confrontation with Avenatti at an “exclusive apartment building in the Century City area of L.A.” That confrontation was followed with a second event the following night outside of the same apartment complex, according to TMZ. During the second confrontation, the celebrity news site claimed Miniutti could be seen “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.'”
Our source with knowledge of the investigation says the four security cameras located at strategic parts of the hotel show that none of the story TMZ reported is true. The source says Avenatti never ran “angrily” into the building as TMZ reports and he never shouted “This is bulls***, this is f***in bullsh***” while trying to push past security who denied him access.
Instead, our contact says Avenatti walked into the building without confrontation, accessed the elevator without security interference, and engaged in no violent or other forms of contact with his accuser.
