Cassie Ventura says Diddy freaked out on her after finding out she was hooking up with Kid Cudi ... threatening her with a wine opener and telling her he would release a video on Christmas showing her participating in a "freak-off."

The singer testified in court Wednesday that Diddy found out she was seeing Kid Cudi in 2011 when he went through her phone during a freak-off.

Cassie told the jury Diddy found an email about Cassie taking her toiletry bag to Kid Cudi's place ... and he put a wine opener in his hand and threatened her.

Details of Diddy's alleged "freak-offs" have been coming out in public for months ... and now a man who shot up a Trump hotel in Florida years ago and made wild claims about Diddy and Cassie at the time is seeing his story re-examined in context.

Jonathan Oddi -- who's currently incarcerated in Miami -- dropped some sensational allegations in an exclusive "Banfield" segment on NewsNation Tuesday night, claiming he had been hired years ago by Diddy as a "sex slave" to get it on with Cassie ... and some of his assertions are similar to previous reports about the couple's proclivities.

In May 2018, a masked Oddi walked into the Trump National Doral Miami Hotel and Resort and fired his Glock pistol a bunch of times into the ceiling, then draped an American flag over the front desk and started breaking computers ... and when responding officers showed up, he fired at them, prompting a massive shootout with five cops. He fired at least 16 times ... and was arrested after being shot in his legs.

Jerry Seinfeld's never been one to hide where he stands -- and he doubled down hard on his support for Israel by coldly mocking a pro-Palestine protester who confronted him.

Take a look at this clip obtained by TMZ -- the comedian, who is Jewish, was making his way to a waiting car when an activist shouted "Free Palestine" -- a heavily charged call for action ... and Jerry’s response? He laughed right in the protester’s face.

When the activist accused him of supporting the genocide of babies in Gaza, Jerry didn't skip a beat -- he carried on laughing, mockingly pointing at the woman -- who was off-camera -- and said, "Only you."

Demi Lovato and her fiancé Jordan Lutes are planning to say their vows really soon -- like, in two weeks soon ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the couple is set to say "I do" on Memorial Day weekend. It's currently unclear where the ceremony is taking place.

The couple got engaged in December 2023. JL presented DL (who uses she/they pronouns) with a big pear-shaped diamond ring in a "personal, intimate proposal" before hitting one of Demi's favorite restaurants in L.A. to celebrate with family.

Cassie Ventura says Diddy had blackmail material on her ... namely, videos from their "freak-offs" ... and she says that made her feel trapped.

She testified Wednesday Diddy would hold the freak-off footage over her head as a way to hurt her, make her fearful.

Cassie told the jury she had previously told Diddy she didn't want to do freak-offs, and that on a commercial flight to New York in June 2013, he sat next to her and played her freak-off videos of her on his laptop and threatened to release them.

Comedian Theo Von was in no laughing mood when he grabbed a fan by the throat at a Nashville bar earlier this month -- and we have the disturbing altercation on video.

Check it out ... a man holding some birthday balloons goes up to Theo but doesn't back down after a quick back-and-forth, clearly antagonizing him.

Theo looks like he wants to be left alone, and just seconds into the video you see him wrap his right hand around the man's neck and firmly push him back.

The 'This Past Weekend' podcast host stares the victim -- who is clearly shocked by being manhandled -- down and gives him a piece of his mind before the video cuts off.

Cassie Ventura says there was a painful, physical side-effect from all the "freak-offs" Diddy had her doing with male escorts ... urinary tract infections.

The singer testified in court Wednesday she would take opiates after the freak-offs to numb herself from very painful UTIs.

Cassie told the jury the UTIs would give her a burning sensation, and she got them so often that antibacterial medication stopped working, and she needed more powerful pills ... and turned to opiates.

Halle Bailey was granted a restraining order against DDG after filing a laundry list of abusive allegations on Monday ... but let the rapper/streamer tell it, he doesn't have a care in the world!!!

On Tuesday, DDG said he was "chilling" and vowed to still hop on his daily Twitch channel amid "The Little Mermaid" actress' emergency filing.

We broke the story ... Halle accused DDG of physically abusing her by chipping her tooth on a steering wheel during an altercation, breaking her Ring camera and even breaking into her phone and accusing her of cheating.

We're now seeing the full unedited 15-minute-long video of Sean "Diddy" Combs assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway in 2016, and it reveals the full story -- more than the CNN version showed -- of what went down between them that morning.

The video was released Tuesday night after the second day of testimony in Diddy's federal sex trafficking trial in NYC -- security video from the InterContinental Hotel in L.A.'s Century City on March 5, 2016, showing Diddy following Cassie out into the hallway, pushing her to the ground and kicking her.

The extended video shows different angles from what we've previously seen ... first, a hooded figure emerges into the frame in a hallway on the 6th floor -- it's Cassie -- then we see Diddy wrapped in a towel follow her, and a moment later he's got a bag in one hand, and with the other he's dragging Cassie by her hooded sweatshirt. We see a few other angles from different cameras, some of which we've previously seen.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. might be battling imposter syndrome, or just proving he's way out of his depth ... 'cause he flat-out told folks not to take medical advice from him -- not that anyone was lining up for it in the first place.

At a congressional budget hearing Wednesday, RFK Jr. -- AKA the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services -- actually said, "I don't think people should be taking medical advice from me" when pressed about measles vaccinations.

RFK’s wild guidance to the American public came after Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wisconsin) opened the can of worms -- all in response to RFK’s recent bizarre claim the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine contains "fetal debris" from abortions.

Justin Bieber's relationship with longtime manager Scooter Braun disintegrated over money -- millions of dollars Justin claimed Scooter underhandedly took -- but an extensive TMZ investigation shows just the opposite.

TMZ has a new documentary, "TMZ Investigates: What Happened to Justin Bieber," which airs tonight on FOX at 9 PM ET, 8 Central.

When the disastrous "Justice" tour ended in 2022, multiple sources with direct knowledge tell us Justin was broke. He owed AEG -- the concert promoter -- $24 million because he received a $40M upfront advance and Justin pulled the plug early on.

Farrah Abraham is making it loud and clear -- she ain't heading back to her "Teen Mom" roots, telling TMZ it’s because she’s too pricey for the network to afford.

We caught up with Farrah, and she made it crystal clear -- Paramount just doesn’t have the budget to bring her back, so she has to respect her time and look out for her child.

Catch the clip -- Farrah goes deep, saying at the end of the day it’s not really her fault she’s not returning, so fans can stop bombarding her with questions about her returning to the show.

Jordon Hudson penned an emotional letter to her cheer team after making the decision to quit ... and in the note, she issued an apology to her squadmates for all of the hoopla her relationship with Bill Belichick caused.

The message -- which was obtained by The Washington Post -- appeared to be sent this past winter ... after Belichick had accepted the UNC football head coaching job.

Hudson explained to her teammates she would no longer be flying for ECE Blackout in Massachusetts -- as she was going to follow her 73-year-old boyfriend to Chapel Hill.

Kim Kardashian spent the day testifying in the Paris jewelry heist trial -- then did what she does best ... hit a fancy dinner, and made sure every eye was on her while doing it.

Check it out ... the SKIMS mogul was quick to ditch the courtroom suit and stepped out in full glam, rocking a look so opulent it could’ve headlined a royal ball -- all for a dinner outing at Paris’ Le Voltaire Tuesday night.

Kim wore a fur-lined leather jacket draped off her shoulders, flaunting a slip mini-dress underneath -- all topped off with flawless glam.

Nicolas Cage and Christian Bale have transformed themselves into John Madden and Al Davis for an upcoming flick about the Raiders legend ... and when compared to the real-life figures, they're just twins, baby!!

Amazon MGM Studios provided an image of the two actors dressed up as the coaching great and team owner for the "Madden" movie that's currently in production ... and they nailed the two iconic figures' appearances.

In the promo pic, Cage and Bale pose in front of the camera while sporting Super Bowl rings ... with the former rocking a Raiders jacket and the latter rocking Davis' slicked-back hair and sunglasses.

Though she didn't reveal what exactly happened, her injury was serious enough to require stitches.
