A disturbing scream was heard during a camgirl live stream ... and it was one of the chilling moments that helped expose an alleged criminal operation.
Our new documentary, "TMZ Studios Presents: Inside the Camgirl Criminal Empire," digs into Nikita Tyukalo, the alleged mastermind behind a lucrative network of OnlyFans creators and camgirls who prosecutors claim were controlled through coercion, abuse, and exploitation.
The doc traces Nikita's rise and reveals how he allegedly manipulated women into making him a fortune ... forcing them to stream for hours on end for little to no pay.
Ol' Dirty Bastard won't be there to celebrate Wu-Tang Clan's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this weekend ... but his family is making sure the late rapper gets his moment in the spotlight.
TMZ caught up with ODB's widow, Icelene Jones, and two of his daughters as they arrived in Los Angeles ahead of Saturday's ceremony ... and Icelene revealed their son, Young Dirty Bastard, will perform in his father's place alongside the legendary hip-hop group.
Icelene told us she's honored to represent her late husband ... who she says would've been proud of the recognition, especially considering he was a true rock star himself.
The University of Mississippi has finally released a statement days after a video of several of its students making monkey noises outside a few Black students' apartment went viral.
In a long social media post, Ole Miss' Chancellor Glenn F. Boyce states that the campus experienced actions that sit in strict opposition to the university's values of dignity and respect.
Message from Chancellor Glenn F. Boyce:
Dear university community,
Over the last several days, our campus has experienced actions that are diametrically opposed to our values of dignity and respect that we champion, teach and hold ourselves accountable to as an institution of higher learning.
All of us work hard to ensure that our students are welcome, safe and valued at our university. This week, members of our team have met and continue to engage with student leaders to listen to their concerns and to understand the impact of these actions across our campus. Our focus has been and will continue to be on supporting our impacted students and ensuring their safety and well-being.
Upon learning about the incident on the evening of Friday, Nov. 6, our staff responded quickly, providing care and resources. We met with the students and their families to discuss our processes, and I can confirm that the university investigation is moving forward. We believe in holding students accountable through established processes. Please understand that federal privacy laws limit what we can share about individual students and any disciplinary outcomes.
I also want to address the incident of an unaffiliated individual on our campus yesterday, who came here with the sole purpose to disrupt our university community with racist and detestable behavior. As a public institution, we are committed to supporting First Amendment rights. At the same time, we vehemently denounce this person’s behavior, which does not align with our campus values. This individual’s actions were an obvious attempt to antagonize and offend our students, and in the face of bigotry, I am proud of the way our students demonstrated integrity and resolve.
The University of Mississippi is an enduring community of welcoming and compassionate faculty, staff and students whose contributions and commitment to our mission and to one another reflect the very best of who we are. Unequivocally, we denounce and condemn actions, whether from inside or outside of our campus, that disparage people because of an aspect of their identity.
Students from all backgrounds call our university home, finding opportunities to learn, grow into leaders and build lives of purpose. Every member of our university community deserves to feel safe, to be treated with dignity and respect and to pursue their education without fear of intimidation or harassment. We will continue to uphold these principles and support one another. The University of Mississippi will remain a place where all who come here to learn, teach and serve can move forward with confidence and purpose.
Sincerely,
Chancellor Glenn F. Boyce

Orville Peck brought former NFL player Carl Nassib out with him for duet of "Something to Talk About" ... and let's just say they really gave us something to talk about!

Bunnie XO's poster is no longer "In Da Club" at Jelly Roll's Nashville bar ... and she's using 50 Cent's voice to joke about not receiving the darn thing.

In the clip, she lip-syncs to audio of 50 Cent telling Floyd Mayweather to hate on Nelly instead of him ... before she bursts out laughing. Clearly, she's sending the message that she did nothing wrong -- and doesn't understand why her image was apparently taken to the trash heap.
