10:55 AM PT -- Ely Murray-Quick, the man seen in the viral back-and-forth video with South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace, posted a statement on Facebook Monday about the incident, directed at Mace herself. He says, in part ...

"If Nancy Mace invested even half as much effort into crafting actual policy or advocating for the people of South Carolina as she does posting about my outfits and spinning dramatics about a two-second public interaction, maybe — just maybe — her district wouldn’t be clinging to the bottom rung of national rankings in education, infrastructure, and healthcare access. But alas, we get performative outrage, keyboard crusades, and a woman who clings to victimhood like it’s the last microphone on Fox News."

Congresswoman Nancy Mace isn’t backing down -- in fact, she’s doubling down on an argument that went viral this weekend, even as the internet’s still split on who really started the drama.

Mace kicked off the week swinging, posting on X -- "Good morning to everyone except men who wear daisy dukes" -- a clear jab at the guy she clashed with in that viral clip, who she flamed not just for his tiny short-shorts, but for browsing in a makeup store too.

Nancy seemed to be on a bit of a press tour, hyping up her upcoming 77 WABC radio interview on X -- teasing she'd be talking "daisy dukes and lunatics who get in the faces of conservatives." She posted on her personal account, not her official one. Should be noted ... the man in question was not wearing denim cut-offs, just saying.

Rob Gronkowski's playing days are behind him, but his body certainly didn't get the memo ... 'cause the future Hall of Famer looked NFL ready while hosting his post-WrestleMania rager!!

The four-time Super Bowl champion held his famous Gronk Beach bash at LIV Beach at Fontainebleau Las Vegas after all the WWE festivities concluded over the weekend ... allowing fans in attendance to keep the night going after John Cena's historic win over Cody Rhodes.

At one point in the shindig, Gronk elected to drop top ... and even though there was a bunch of drinking involved, he was showing off a different kind of six pack.

A wild twist just dropped on the latest "The Last of Us" episode -- and even lead actor Pedro Pascal can't believe it ... 'cause the guy’s in full-on denial.

⚠️ Major spoilers for Season 2, Episode 2 ahead -- if you haven’t watched yet, now’s the time to look away. But, let’s just say -- the jaw-dropping twist has literally changed the game for this hit HBO series.

Dominik Mysterio's WWE Intercontinental Championship celebration Sunday night hit a bit of a speed bump ... when a golf cart he was riding in ran over one of his fans.

The wild incident unfolded outside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas ... shortly after the wrestler -- who's Rey's son -- won a four-way match for the WWE strap over Finn Balor, Bron Breakker and Penta at Night 2 of WrestleMania 41.

The 28-year-old was cruising around the Raiders' famed building with security -- showing off his new hardware to a cheering crowd -- when, suddenly, a throng of his supporters raced to his ride in an apparent effort to snag a pic.

Talk about a fatherly sacrifice -- Ben Affleck’s keeping the superhero fantasy alive for his son Samuel ... despite hating every second spent sweating it out in the Batsuit.

Check out the pics -- Ben and his 13-year-old son were out on Easter Sunday hitting up BAIT boutique in L.A., where the actor was spotted loading a DC Batman Hush figure, which retails for just over $400, into his car.

Looks like Samuel, Ben’s son with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, was getting the royal treatment -- 'cause before their toy shopping spree, the father-son duo also made a pit stop at World Market.

Pope Francis is being mourned by celebrities across the globe, after he died on Easter Monday.

Whoopi Goldberg shared a photo of herself smiling during a conversation with the Pope, along with a heartfelt message ... "He was the closest in a long time that seemed to remember that Christ’s love enveloped believer and none believer."

She goes on to say ... "He felt more like Pope John the 23rd who made belief real. Sail on Pope Frances with your love of humanity & Laughter."

Kristen Stewart is officially a married woman -- because TMZ has learned she and her fiancée tied the knot after going to a courthouse to obtain a marriage license.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... KS and her fiancée Dylan Meyer said "I do" during an intimate ceremony at Mexican restaurant Casita Del Campo, on Sunday.

We're told Ashley Benson and her husband Brandon Davis were among the guests at the wedding.

JD Vance was one of the last people who saw Pope Francis alive, meeting with the pontiff on Easter Sunday at the Vatican in Rome before his death.

President Trump's VP briefly interacted with Francis in a reception room of the Vatican guesthouse known as Domus Santa Marta, where the Pope chose to reside.

Their pleasant exchange — coming after Francis blasted the Trump administration's mass deportations of migrants — was caught on video.

Carl Weathers may have sadly left us ... but his "Toy Story" role will live on in the Disney franchise with help from Ernie Hudson, TMZ has learned.

Production sources tell us ... the "Ghostbusters" icon has been cast as Combat Carl, the character played by the "Rocky" legend, who died last year at 76.

Combat Carl is the G.I. Joe-type action figure toy line in the TS universe ... and after his unforgettable role in "Predator," it made perfect sense that CW fit the mold (pun intended)!

Rob Gronkowski won't be spiking a headset on the New England sideline anytime soon ... but if you ask him, the Patriots are better off with their current staff anyway!!

TMZ Sports caught up with Gronk and chopped it up about all things Pats ... and he's super excited about the direction of his old team this offseason.

Of course, New England brought back another franchise great – former linebacker Mike Vrabel – to take the reins ... and Gronk thinks the team is making big moves.

John Cena just became the first 17-time champion in WWE history after beating Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 ... but he didn't do it alone -- he got a bit of an assist from Travis Scott in the process.

The main event just went down at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas ... with Cena and Rhodes brutalizing each other as the former looked to surpass Ric Flair as the most decorated wrestler in the organization.

Mid-match, La Flame showed up and made a lengthy walk to the ring to help his buddy, Cena ... and played a crucial role by going after the ref when Rhodes tried to secure the win.

Canadian actress Peyton Kennedy was a young teen when she first played Kate -- the shy sophomore at Boring High and A/V Club member -- on Netflix's drama "Everything Sucks" back in 2018.

Joining Kennedy included Sydney Sweeney as the jealous popular drama club student,  Emaline, Jahi Di'Allo Winston -- also a member of the A/V Club -- who falls in love with Kate, Luke, and Rio Mangini as Luke's sarcastic and nerdy best friend, McQuaid.

You may also recall seeing Peyton on "Grey's Anatomy," "The Captive," "American Fable" and "Lavender."

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin crashed his way into WrestleMania 41 on Sunday -- quite literally -- 'cause the WWE legend went ramming into a barricade on an ATV during his surprise appearance in Vegas.

Austin had the sold-out Allegiant Stadium crowd going nuts when they heard the glass shatter over the speakers ... and just like he's done in the past, he had a joyride on a four-wheeler as he made his way to the ring.

Except this time, Austin misjudged his turn around one of the corners of the ring ... and drove straight for the barricade in front of the fans.

Congresswoman Nancy Mace says she was harassed at a store, sharing a clip of the interaction ... though many online are split about who's in the wrong here.

The representative from South Carolina shared an interaction she says went down at a makeup store this weekend ... filming a dude after it seems he asked her if she planned to have any other town halls this year like she did last year.

While the man seems to be asking with what might be a bit of snark and amusement in his voice -- Congresswoman Mace loses it ... repeatedly saying this man is harassing her and telling him he could've gone to a dozen town halls last year.

The Chainsmokers wanted to rock an event for Arizona State University ... pulling up to play a frat party -- but, Johnny Law showed up to douse that idea really quick.

Alex Pall and Drew Taggart pulled up to Tempe, Arizona Friday ahead of Breakaway Festival -- a popular EDM festival -- that took place in Phoenix over the weekend.

The duo crashed a frat party at FIJI to play free for 100's of students... and, they ended up having a face-to-face meeting with some police officers -- who weren't happy about the massive event one bit.
