According to new court filings obtained by TMZ, Tyler's legal team says Julia Holcomb -- who claims the Aerosmith rocker sexually abused her after they began a relationship when she was 16 years old -- recently revealed a separate issue in her life that led her and her husband to seek marriage counseling.

President Trump's plan to host a UFC fight card at the White House is getting hit with a legal haymaker ... because a new federal lawsuit is trying to stop the event before anyone steps into the Octagon.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, two Virginia residents are suing the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior over "UFC Freedom 250" -- the June 14 event slated for the White House South Lawn.

The plaintiffs claim the card is less about celebrating America's 250th birthday and more about giving some of Trump's closest allies -- including UFC boss Dana White -- a massive platform at some of the country's most iconic landmarks as The Lincoln Memorial is scheduled to host ceremonial weigh-ins for fighters before the event.

Here's the deal ... on Saturday images re-surfaced on social media of the "Heated Rivalry" star with a swastika drawn on his face, seemingly from years ago.
