Michael Avenatti

Michael Avenatti is a cautionary tale I can't look away from. For a moment he was everywhere, the telegenic lawyer who built a national profile representing Stormy Daniels, sharp on camera and clearly hungry for the spotlight. There was even a race-car driver streak underneath, the mark of a man who loves the adrenaline of competition. Then it all collapsed into fraud and extortion convictions and prison. To me his arc is a stark lesson in how ambition unchecked by ethics curdles fast. Talent got him the stage; character is what he failed to bring to it.
