Avenatti hasn’t decided if he’d appear on Fox News again after explosive interview

Michael Avenatti said he hasn’t decided if he’ll appear on Fox News again after a fiery interview on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Thursday.

Avenatti, the potential 2020 candidate and lawyer suing President Trump on behalf of adult-film star Stormy Daniels, engaged in a 12-minute verbal knife fight with the show’s host on everything from Russian collusion to Daniels’s case against the president.

“After we went off the air, I repeatedly told Tucker Carlson directly to his face that he and the show and the network was a joke,” Avenatti told The Hollywood Reporter.

“I would call it less than friendly,” he added. He told the Reporter he hasn’t decided whether he would accept another interview on Fox News.

During the interview, Avenatti and Carlson sparred over Avenatti’s relationship with Daniels, with the cable host saying Avenatti was exploiting his client, which Avenatti denied. 

When Carlson accused Avenatti of using reckless rhetoric when discussing the threat Russia poses after its 2016 election meddling, Avenatti responded, “I think for you to lecture me about reckless rhetoric is rather ironic, Tucker.”
