Tucker Carlson Denies Michael Avenatti's Claim Alleging He Assaulted a 'Gay Latino Immigrant'

Michael Avenatti announced on Saturday that he’s looking into an accusation of assault against Tucker Carlson, an allegation which the Fox News host has denied.

Avenatti, the 47-year-old lawyer who rose to prominence for representing Stormy Daniels, announced that he was investigating the matter on Saturday, accusing Carlson “and/or members of his inner circle” of allegedly assaulting a “gay Latino immigrant” at a club in Virginia in October.

He also posted a video that allegedly documents part of the incident, in which Carlson, 49, appears to tell another man to “get the f— out of here,” but does not appear to assault anyone. The man later appeared to be led out of the room.

The lawyer went on to allege on Twitter that Carlson’s son also “committed assault and battery,” claims Carlson disputes in a statement.

“On October 13, I had dinner with two of my children and some family friends at the Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville, Virginia,” Carlson says in a statement Fox News provided to PEOPLE. “Toward the end of the meal, my 19-year-old daughter went to the bathroom with a friend. On their way back through the bar, a middle-aged man stopped my daughter and asked if she was sitting with Tucker Carlson. My daughter had never seen the man before. She answered: ‘That’s my dad,’ and pointed to me. The man responded, ‘Are you Tucker’s w—-?’ He then called her a ‘f—ing c—.'”

“My daughter returned to the table in tears,” Carlson continues. “She soon left the table and the club. My son, who is also a student, went into the bar to confront the man. I followed. My son asked the man if he’d called his sister a ‘w—-‘ and a ‘c—.’ The man admitted he had, and again become profane. My son threw a glass of red wine in the man’s face and told him to leave the bar, which he soon did.”

“Immediately after the incident, I described these events to the management of the Farmington Country Club,” adds Carlson. “The club spent more than three weeks investigating the incident. Last week, they revoked the man’s membership and threw him out of the club.”

“I love my children. It took enormous self-control not to beat the man with a chair, which is what I wanted to do,” Carlson says in his statement. “I think any father can understand the overwhelming rage and shock that I felt seeing my teenage daughter attacked by a stranger. But I restrained myself. I did not assault this man, and neither did my son. That is a lie. Nor did I know the man was gay or Latino, not that it would have mattered. What happened on October 13 has nothing to do with identity politics. It was a grotesque violation of decency. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”
