Elisa Jordana está contando su versión de la historia después de haber sido detenida e insiste en que su ex-prometido se puso mucho más violento con ella, que ella con él, durante una transmisión en vivo que hicieron mientras conducían.

Hablamos con la ex colaboradora de "Howard Stern Show" después de que la policía la detuviera por agresión y dijo que todo el incidente estalló luego de que una de sus sesiones de terapia en pareja saliera mal.

Jordana dice que ella y Bahram Alipour, el hombre en el perturbador video, habían fijado una sesión de terapia de pareja para discutir su futuro antes de casarse porque estaban teniendo problemas.

Elisa Jordana's telling her side of the story following her arrest ... and she insists her ex-fiancé got way more violent than she did during a live stream as they were driving.

We spoke with the former 'Howard Stern Show' contributor after cops busted her for battery -- and she says the whole incident that led to her arrest popped off after a couples counseling session went bad.

Jordana says she and Bahram Alipour, the man in the disturbing video, had set up a couples therapy session to discuss their future before they got married because they were having issues.

Morgan Wallen's squashing rumors he's feuding with his ex, KT Smith ... hangin' out with Smith and their son Indigo in the first photos taken since his arrest.

The singer-songwriter stepped out in Nashville in a casual outfit ... t-shirt and jeans just days after cops arrested him for allegedly tossing a chair off the roof of a popular Nashville bar.

KT's also dressed in a causal outfit ... great for running after their little one, Indigo -- who's turning four this summer. She's holdin' the little dude in some pics and just tryna keep up in others.

O.J. Simpson's acquittal in his 1994 murder trial remains one of the most controversial verdicts to date, but a member of his defense -- the so-called Dream Team -- stands by the strategies they used to get him off.

Perhaps the most controversial of their strategies was playing the "race card" during the trial ... a decision attorney Carl Douglas defends, claiming both sides knew race would play a factor in the case.

He tells TMZ ... "The prosecution played the race card as well when they brought on a Black prosecutor (Christopher Darden) for the first time when the jury was all assembled on the first day of trial."

2:22 PM PT -- Ippei Mizuhara showed up to his court appearance with shackles around his ankles ... although the chains were ultimately removed as the hearing got underway.

During the proceedings, Mizuhara -- wearing a dark-colored suit -- learned he will be released on $25,000 bond ... but he will have to abide by a myriad of conditions in order to stay out of custody -- including no gambling whatsoever.

Mizuhara will also have to enroll in a gamblers addiction treatment program ... as well as, among other stipulations, have no communication with Shohei Ohtani.

Ben McLemore is breaking his silence days after he was arrested and charged with rape, adamantly claiming he's not guilty of the horrific crime!

The 10-year NBA vet was arrested Tuesday on a first-degree rape charge in Multnomah County, Oregon ... and later transferred to Clackamas County Jail on Wednesday.

McLemore, who was released after posting bond, addressed the sex crime accusation in a statement Thursday night.

“I did not rape this woman,” the 31-year-old said. “I am not sexually abusive. I have never pursued a sexual relationship when I understood the woman was not interested in me and acting willingly.”

As for what he's accused of doing ... Police say a woman claims McLemore sexually assaulted her at his Lake Oswego home in 2021 when BM was a member of the Portland Trail Blazers.

According to police, the investigation was delayed because McLemore was out of the country, playing professional basketball in China, Greece and Spain.

McLemore is facing one count of unlawful sexual penetration and two counts of sexual abuse, in addition to the first-degree rape charge.

The former Kansas University men's basketball star is obviously frustrated with how the case has been handled by authorities so far.

“I met every request they made of me, immediately and professionally," McLemore said.

"I indicated that I was interested in testifying in the grand jury but was refused that opportunity. When my attorneys were informed of the charges, we immediately made plans for me to return to the United States for the first court appearance -- and informed all law enforcement authorities and the Court of my travel plan."

"I could not have done more to assist in the process.”

4/12 -- 5:55 AM PT -- Rashee Rice posted bond shortly after he was taken into police custody.

He did, however, take a mug shot before he was released ... and you can see in the picture, he looked stoic.

Rashee Rice is currently in police custody after the K.C. Chiefs star surrendered to law enforcement on Thursday ... and is now behind bars in a Texas jail.

10:48 AM PT -- Kato Kaelin -- who was a key witness during the O.J. Simpson trial -- just posted a video responding to the news ... and he sends thoughts and prayers to O.J.'s children, as well as the families of the victims, including Nicole Brown Simpson.

He doesn't say much else about O.J. himself.

A Planet Fitness gymgoer was arrested after allegedly walking around totally naked in the women's locker room ... claiming they identified as a woman, something the gym didn't buy.

Christopher Miller -- identified as male by online booking records -- was arrested in Gastonia, NC Thursday for indecent exposure after gymgoers claim he walked into the women's locker room at a local Planet Fitness.

A shocked woman reportedly called the police when she saw Miller, telling the 9-1-1 operator a fully naked man wouldn't leave the room ... adding he identified himself as a woman when asked to do so.

Two of the attorneys connected to O.J. Simpson's infamous criminal trial are reflecting on the case's lasting impact on the justice system, and society at large ... and they view key issues from the trial very differently.

Gloria Allred, famed attorney and women's rights advocate, joined us Thursday on "TMZ Live" to share her memories of representing Nicole Brown Simpson's family.

Allred recalled the moment Simpson was acquitted -- she was in court, sitting next to Nicole's father and her sister, Denise -- and despite the verdict, she says she was confident he had killed Nicole and Ron Goldman.

It's the Ford Bronco behind one of the most jaw-dropping moments in TV history ... transporting O.J. Simpson and his friend Al Cowlings during a wild 90-minute police chase back in '94.

But, the infamous vehicle's no longer in the fast lane, as it's simply on display at the Alcatraz East Crime Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee ... where visitors can get a close-up look at the ride that captivated the country.

It's been a bumpy journey, though, going from L.A.'s 405 freeway to its final resting place in Tennessee -- it's a path that was detailed on a 2017 episode of "Pawn Stars."

Polo G's New York City trip to gear up for his long-delayed 4th album came to a screeching halt on Wednesday ... 'cause he was busted for gun possession.

Our law enforcement sources tell us ... the NYPD's 1st Precinct was notified that an employee of The Dominick Hotel found a loaded firearm inside one of their rooms.

We're told officers were able to ID Polo as being the occupant of the room ... and our sources say it was registered under his name, Taurus Bartlett, and the DOB also matched up.

Manhattan District Attorney's Office executed a search warrant for the hotel room and found a loaded Glock 23 firearm inside the bedroom side of the hotel room.

We're told a firearm trace came back negative and the weapon wasn't flagged as stolen ... and an arrest warrant for Polo was drawn up as a result. NYPD officers arrested Polo around 12:50 PM Wednesday and charged him with Criminal Possession of a Weapon in both the 2nd and 3rd degree.

Cops also say Polo was carrying more than $23k in cash at the time of his arrest. It's been a rough few months for Polo and his family.

We broke the initial story in November ... Polo's caught a separate gun charge and his brother Trench Baby was arrested for murder in California.

To make matters worse, Polo's mother and sister just engaged in a very nasty spat on social media that started with a fistfight on Easter Sunday.

We just caught Polo in NYC this week ... he was genuinely excited about finally launching his "Hood Poet" album and promised big surprises along the way.

Ron Goldman's father says he's not focusing on O.J. Simpson today -- instead, he says he's remembering his son, and using today to think about how long he's been gone.

Fred Goldman spoke with People Thursday, hours after news of Simpson's death broke, and he told the outlet he's only thinking about how Ron died nearly 30 years ago ... and, not about how the man acquitted of his murder has finally died.

Goldman says he's focused on all of the pain he's dealt with over the years since his son died ... and, added the only important thing is remembering Ron and Nicole Brown Simpson today.

El padre de Ron Goldman dice que no se está pensando en O.J. Simpson hoy, en su lugar, está recordando a su hijo y todo el tiempo que ha estado ausente.

Fred Goldman habló con People el jueves, horas después de que se diera a conocer la noticia de su muerte y les dijo que solo está pensando en la partida de Ron hace casi 30 años y no en la muerte del hombre que resultó absuelto de su asesinato.

Goldman dice que se está centrado en el dolor con el que ha lidiado desde que su hijo murió y añadió que lo único importante es recordar a Ron y a Nicole Brown Simpson hoy.

4/11 -- 6:38 AM -- According to the Lake Oswego Police Department, Ben McLemore was accused of committing the sex crimes in October 2021.

Cops say a woman told them McLemore -- who was a Portland Trail Blazer at the time -- sexually assaulted her while at a home in Lake Oswego.

Police added a grand jury formally indicted McLemore in February.

Former Kansas University men's basketball star Ben McLemore was arrested this week and booked on a charge of first-degree rape, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

Jail records show the 31-year-old -- who played in the NBA from 2013 through 2021 following his Jayhawks career -- was taken into custody in Multnomah County, Oregon on Tuesday on an outstanding warrant. He was later transferred to Clackamas County Jail on Wednesday.

Records show he remains behind bars there ... as he's facing one count of unlawful sexual penetration and two counts of sexual abuse -- in addition to the rape charge.

Further details on the allegations surrounding McLemore were not made immediately available ... although more is expected to be released later Wednesday -- after the basketball player is arraigned in court.

McLemore was a superstar for KU in his one season in Lawrence -- helping lead the Jayhawks to the Sweet 16 in 2013. He went on to be picked by the Sacramento Kings in the first round of the 2013 NBA Draft.

In his career, McLemore logged minutes for Sacramento, Houston, Portland, Memphis and the Los Angeles Lakers. Following his career, he went on to play overseas.

Nashville bar owner Joey DeGraw's not happy about Morgan Wallen's alleged rooftop bar antics, 'cause while the tossed chair didn't hit anyone ... it could still ding the city's booming nightlife scene.

Joey and his brother, singer-songwriter Gavin DeGraw, know all about Nashville's Broadway party scene -- they own one of the strip's hot spots -- and he tells TMZ ... he's annoyed Wallen allegedly chucked a chair from the 6th floor because it could've seriously hurt someone.

JD says he's not worried about Morgan and his drinking -- in fact, he thinks the incident might help his career -- but he is worried about how it might impact tourism on Broadway, Nashville's main attraction attraction.
