Taylor Frankie Paul is once again reflecting on her tumultuous relationship with Dakota Mortensen ... posting a lengthy note to Instagram about allegedly being manipulated, threatened and gaslit.

The "Secret Wives of Mormon Wives" star laid her feelings bare in a Thursday night post ... never mentioning Dakota by name, but alluding to their relationship as she reminded people she knows she's not fully innnocent in the legalities of it all. She says she blames herself for staying in the relationship for so long, but notes she felt insane due to Dakota "twisting" everything that went down in their romance and gaslighting her to make her "feel insane."

She further alleges ... "I was love bombed, then manipulated, threatened, physically hurt, cops called on me, publicly humiliated, lost most friends because he got to them, had CPS called, and am now in court all because I said no more and he knew I meant it this time."

Former 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' star Lisa Wu is firing back at allegations she perpetrated a scheme to defraud her friend out of a home -- after the ex-pal filed a police report against her.

TMZ obtained a DeKalb County, Georgia police report, dated April 9, 2026, listing a woman named Norma Denise Mitchem as the victim of a theft by deception from back in November 2025.

According to the report, cops talked to a nephew of Norma, who told them Lisa and Lisa’s boyfriend, Donald Jacob, were involved in the alleged scheme to defraud Norma out of a house.

If ya wanna know how Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao II will go down, just watch the first time they fought in 2015 ... 'cause Andre Berto tells TMZ Sports he's expecting similar results when they duke it out again later this year.

Even though Pac-Man is active and Money has been retired for years, Berto doesn't expect "explosive" shots from either guy ... which would line up with the snooze fest their first go-round ended up being.

U.S Rep. Max Miller is fighting an Ohio doctor in court over allegations the Congressman falsely told police he made antisemitic remarks -- but the politician believes cell phone evidence proves he wasn't lying ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Dr. Feras Hamdan sued the Congressman for defamation in February.

The Ohio-based doctor, a first-generation Palestinian American, claimed Miller, who is Jewish, smeared him as an "unhinged" and "deranged" antisemite who "threatened to kill" Miller and his family and "ran him off the road" in highway incident.

Hamdan claims Miller called the police to report the incident, and the doctor says he ended up being charged with ethnic intimidation and tampering with evidence, both felonies.

According to Broward County jail records, seen by TMZ, Kodak was booked Thursday. Both charges are currently listed as pending trial, with bond set at $0.

Kodak’s attorney, Bradford Cohen, tells TMZ ... "This is a self surrender from yet another 'investigation' that just happened to also take 5 months to 'investigate' for allegedly fleeing and alluding."

Cohen adds ... "It's not unexpected, as this is usually the procedure we go through where there is an unfounded weak arrest and then followed up by yet another arrest for cases that allegedly take 5 or 6 months to investigate. At this point I think everyone agrees that Kodak is consistently being targeted."

Thursday's arrest comes just a week after Kodak was busted on alleged drug trafficking charges.

We broke the story ... police claimed they linked Kodak to more than 25 grams of MDMA discovered after officers responded to reports of gunfire and found two idling vehicles with Kodak nearby.

Kodak later posted $75K bail and was ordered to stay away from drugs, certain associates and firearms while the case plays out.

Spencer Pratt could be back in the reality show biz if he's elected Mayor of Los Angeles ... because he signed a contract to document the first family of L.A.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ  ... Pratt inked a deal with Los Angeles production company Boardwalk Pictures to roll cameras as he runs for Mayor. The production team is about to begin filming with Spencer, his wife Heidi Montag, and their kids throughout his political journey.

What's really interesting ... our sources say filming would not stop if Spencer gets sworn into office. The contract specifically provides that the show would go on.

Now we're told Spencer and the production company have not put the cart before the horse. As of now everyone is focusing on the campaign, and they haven't discussed details on how filming would continue if he wins. But the ink is dry in the contract.

"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" is going back into production, but some cast members -- those with penises -- might not be returning ... and there are dueling narratives as to why.

Production sources tell TMZ ... some of the men have banded together and refused to return in a hardball demand for more money.

However, another source with direct knowledge tells us ... it's unlikely the men will return, but it isn't their decision -- instead, it's producers who think there's not enough bang for the buck, so to speak.

In a nutshell, we're told the ladies are the stars of the series ... and producers got more evidence of that when fans rejected the dudes' recent "DadTok" venture.

Plus, Dakota Mortensen already can't come back, because he and Taylor Frankie Paul have dual restraining orders against each other!

Kanye West has gone from "death con 3" when it comes to Jewish people to striking a deal with an Israeli businessman to put on a concert ... oh, how the times have changed!

The rapper has officially partnered with Guy Beser and Blue Stone Productions to play a show at Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi, Georgia -- and 70,000 tickets for Ye's show sold out within a day.

The show was first reported by Rolling Stone ... and the outlet said the concert was being produced by Beser's Live Nation Israel -- but, Live Nation tells us it's not promoting or producing the show, and it's all being done by Beser's independent production company, Blue Stone.

Live Nation tells us it's partnered with Beser and BSP in the past -- and the promotion giant reportedly bought a majority stake in BSP back in 2017. However, a Live Nation spokesperson tells TMZ ... it has no skin in the game for Ye's Georgia date.

Beser's LinkedIn page says he founded Live Nation Israel and serves as CEO.

The White House is going full TikTok troll mode again, this time using a Tate McRae track to hype up its border wall push ... while taking a not-so-subtle shot at China in the process.

In a new video posted to the administration’s official TikTok account, it shows dramatic clips of President Donald Trump arriving in China ... while one of Tate’s moody anthems, "Just Keep Watching," blasts in the background.
