Michael Avenatti Tweeted Out a Fox News Booker’s Phone Number

The Golden Rule of getting into feuds on Twitter: before you inevitably tweet out a screenshot of an email exchange with one of your enemies, always make sure you black out their personal information.

Michael Avenatti, lawyer of Stormy Daniels and novice of the Twitter beef game, took to Twitter on early Saturday morning in an attempt to own Fox News, a network with which he has been sparring over potential appearances.

The Observer reported that Avenatti tweeted to his more than 400k followers at around 2 a.m. a screenshot of an email exchange with Fox News booker Kelly McNally, who was reaching out to book him on Tucker Carlson‘s show. In the screenshot, he blacked out McNally’s email address but forgot to do the same with her phone number.

“Stop lying to your viewers,” Avenatti tweeted at Carlson. “You did not invite me on your show Fri night. It never happened. You invited me on Wed and I responded within 3 minutes (see below). I then never heard back.”

Avenatti concluded his tweet by asking Sean Hannity‘s executive producer to reach out. He has previously challenged Hannity to invite him on the Fox News host’s show to talk about Stormy Daniels’ case against President Donald Trump.

Minutes later, Avenatti had deleted and republished the tweet, this time with McNally’s number blacked out:

.@TuckerCarlson – Stop lying to your viewers. You did not invite me on your show Fri night. It never happened. You invited me on Wed and I responded within 3 minutes (see below). I then never heard back. Again – pls have Sean’s EP reach out to me. And try honesty next time. pic.twitter.com/hNVlQJFvuQ
