Shortly after Daniels announced new representation in a tweet, Avenatti shared a statement that said the decision to break ties was his.
Daniels, an adult film actress, allegedly had an affair with President Donald Trump and has been at the center of a scandal over a hush-money payment she received from Michael Cohen.
"I have retained Clark Brewster as my personal lawyer and have asked him and his firm to review all legal matters involving me," Daniels said Subsequently, Avenatti tweeted a statement that said he informed Daniels"in writing" on February 19 that he was"terminating...legal representation of her for various reasons that we cannot disclose publicly due to attorney-client privilege."
Brewster, who is apparently now representing Daniels, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from INSIDER on Avenatti's statement.
