However, they called their relationship off back in late 2016 after dating for a few years. But, their split settlement came out as one of the tough dispatches.
Agent Hired For Their Dispute Settlement Mishandled The Money
Hassan and his ex-girlfriend Alexis had reached an agreement of $3 million. However, the court documents suggested that Michael Avenatti, who was hired to settle the disputes between the couple, embezzled the $2.5 to buy a private jet. As per the deal, Michael was entitled to only $1 million of the total settlement cost, as legal fees.
Several reports claim that Michael paid $194,000 to Alexis in 11 months and before he stopped and accused Hassan of failing to meet the deal.
Despite the fact, Michael denied the allegations and wished all of the relevant documents and facts to be presented at trial.
