Granados says that Carlson and Carlson\u2019s son were the aggressors and he never called Carlson\u2019s daughter obscenities. Granados adds that Carlson\u2019s daughter is underage and was drinking at the time.<\/p>\n
Attorney Michael Avenatti tweeted out a statement (below) from Granados along with a 2012 article about Granados and his husband Will Trinkle written after the couple<\/a> filed a lawsuit against an athletic club in Roanoke, Virginia for discriminating against their family. They were successful in getting the club to change its policy.<\/p>\n Said Avenatti in the tweet: \u201cThe next time Granados\u2019 statement:<\/p>\n Statement of Juan Manuel Granados<\/b><\/em><\/p>\n I am very active in the Charlottesville community and am involved in many charities and local organizations. I serve on the Boards of the Women\u2019s Initiative, 2nd Street Gallery, and the Lighthouse Studio, and also serve on the Tom Tom Festival committee. I am a proud gay<\/a> member of the Latino community and am also an immigrant. I obtained my U.S. citizenship in late September.<\/p>\n Tucker Carlson\u2019s explanation of what transpired at the Farmington Country Club in Virginia on October 13 is a complete fabrication. Among the many lies contained in his statement:<\/p>\n 1 \u2013 I NEVER called any member of his family any names. I never attacked his daughter as Tucker claims. I never called his daughter or son a \u201ccunt\u201d or \u201cwhore\u201d or anything approximating that. I certainly never apologized for using those words or admitted to saying them because I never said them. Many witnesses support this fact. Tucker has created this story out of thin air \u2013 it never happened.<\/p>\n 2 \u2013 Tucker\u2019s daughter never \u201creturned to the table in tears\u201d as he claims. That too is a complete fiction.<\/p>\n 3 \u2013 Tucker\u2019s son and Tucker, together with the unidentified \u201cfriend,\u201d were the aggressors that night as shown in the video<\/a>. I never threatened any of them. When one views the video<\/a>, you can clearly see whom is being aggressive. I am seated calmly.<\/p>\n 4 \u2013 Tucker threatened me with physical violence and told me to \u201cGo back to where you came from\u201d before another patron started filming the incident. On the video<\/a>, Tucker is shown yelling various profanities at me and threatening me. Tucker\u2019s friend is seen grabbing me, yanking me off my chair and also threatening physical violence while another patron says there is no need for physical violence.<\/p>\n 5 \u2013 Tucker\u2019s daughter was drinking that night despite the fact that she is underage at 19. She repeatedly came to the bar to get drinks and Tucker was fully aware his daughter was drinking.<\/p>\n I intend on pursuing possible charges against Tucker for assault, against his son for assault and battery, and against his \u201cfriend\u201d for assault and battery. I did not deserve to be treated that way that night and I did not deserve to be told to \u201cgo back to where you came from.\u201d<\/p>\n I am confident that after a full and complete investigation, the truth will be known and Tucker\u2019s version of events will be shown to be a complete fabrication.<\/p>\n Here is a statement from my client regarding the incident with Tucker Carlson and Tucker’s fabricated version of events. As a father of two teenage<\/a> daughters myself, I find it disgraceful that Tucker seeks to justify his behavior by falsely hiding behind his family. #Coward<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/j9uX7pRdyP<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) November 11, 2018<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The next time @TuckerCarlson<\/a> seeks to attack someone and then lie about it, he better first do his homework about the person and their credibility.
