A Los Angeles judge on Wednesday upheld a temporary restraining order against lawyer Michael Avenatti after allegations of domestic violence by his former girlfriend. The restraining order stems from actress Mareli Miniutti’s allegations from November that Avenatti abused her. Neither he nor Miniutti appeared in court on Wednesday, where Superior Court Judge Susan Lopez-Giss continued the hearing for two months. Avenatti’s lawyer Richard Beada didn’t object to the extension of the temporary restraining order. Avenatti insisted the allegations against him are fabricated, tweeting that “I have NEVER abused a woman or committed domestic violence against anyone.
