Kyrsten Sinema will face off with her boyfriend Matthew Ammel’s ex-wife, Heather Ammel, after a judge ruled the lawsuit against the former U.S. Senator will move forward, TMZ has learned. 

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, a North Carolina judge denied Kyrsten’s attempt to dismiss the case, accusing her of breaking up Matthew and Heather’s marriage. 

Kyrsten did not deny she hooked up with Matthew, but said nothing happened in North Carolina. She argued the lawsuit should be tossed as a result. 

Big Tigger won't be charged after his wife made serious allegations of domestic violence ... prosecutors have decided not to pursue criminal charges against him ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, the Fulton County District Attorney's Office declined to prosecute the former "Rap City" host on charges arising from the case.

You'll recall … Tigger's wife, Alicia Brown, accused him of slamming her head into a door during a May altercation ... claiming the incident left her needing stitches.

Brown also alleged Tigger pressured her to deny the incident and warned he would make sure she "loses everything" if she spoke out. She claimed he later cut off her access to the home's Ring cameras and remote gate controls.

Brown was granted a temporary protective order in June ... requiring Tigger to stay 200 yards away from her and their children and have no contact with them. She was also granted temporary custody of the minor children and exclusive use of the family home.

As TMZ first reported ... Tigger was arrested June 20 on aggravated assault and child cruelty charges. He was released on $10K bond.

Jack Doherty has been arrested in Florida ... TMZ has learned.

According to jail records obtained by TMZ, the influencer was booked Friday in Broward County on a charge of domestic violence battery.

As of now details of the incident are unclear... but sources close to Jack tell TMZ that his actions were done in self-defense.

As we previously reported ... Jack was arrested by Miami Beach Police in November 2025 outside a smoke shop and booked on charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, and resisting arrest.

Police said Jack was carrying amphetamine at the time ... a medication commonly used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy as well as less than 20 grams of weed.

Video of the arrest showed him arguing with officers.

Jack later told TMZ the experience was the worst day of his life ... describing hours spent in multiple holding cells before he was released on $3,500 bail.

After getting out, Jack posted a video wearing a TMZ T-shirt of his mug shot ... joking about his arrest and complaining that jail was too dirty for him to shower there. He also bragged that he posted bail and was released in under 24 hours.

Donald Trump is keeping tabs on the Lindsay Clancy trial … and spoke out hours after the court ruled a mistrial.

On Friday, the President was questioned about Lindsay’s case. He told reporters, “She did a horrible, horrible thing, can’t be worse, but you’ll find out what the price to pay is.”

Trump continued, “There’ll be a price. It’s going to be a mental institution or jail or something, but I guess they’re going to go through another trial.” 

Perez Hilton apparently wanted to die at the hands of police, allegedly saying on his TikTok live stream that he was willing to hurt cops to make it happen -- according to documents obtained by TMZ.

We've reviewed call logs detailing dispatch audio ... and one of the logs shows that the subject said on TikTok Live that he "wants to die by suicide by cops, and he will hurt police."

We've also learned fire and rescue crews were initially told they could leave the area around 9:13 PM by cops ... but, nearly two hours later, cops asked them to return to the house and eventually entered the home with officers -- a strange development given Perez's serious need for medical attention.

Lindsay Clancy's mistrial has a ton of people heated ... including TMZ's own Harvey Levin and defense attorney Mark Geragos.

The pair had it out Friday afternoon on their weekly podcast after Judge William F. Sullivan declared a mistrial in the case Friday morning ... and Harvey thinks the D.A. will think twice before asking for a retrial.

Kevin also called Lindsay a wonderful woman who is going through a very difficult time now ... before thanking the 11 jurors who came to a consensus -- and singling out the 12th for robbing them of their verdict.

Worth noting ... Cruz said Friday his office will not decide today whether to retry the case or not.

11:20 AM PT -- The mistrial will stand in Lindsay Clancy's trial. The State Supreme Court Justice rejected Reddington's motion to overturn the mistrial.

10:05 AM PT -- The judge has given the defense another hour to go before the State Supreme Court and argue the mistrial should be overturned.

We know the defense has filed legal docs with the SC, but it is unclear if the Court will hear the matter. It is likely that one SC Justice will look at the defense petition and make a decision, at least temporarily, until the full Court can hear the case.

A clerk for the SC just told TMZ ... the Court will hear the defense's motion to overturn the mistrial.

Lindsay Clancy, her lawyers, the prosecution, and the judge headed back to the courtroom soon ... and we're live streaming it all.

As we reported ... Judge Sullivan sent jurors back into the deliberation room Friday morning -- but they emerged a short time later and once again said they were deadlocked. He declared a mistrial, then gave Reddington one hour to get someone above his pay grade to change his mind.

11:14 AM PT -- A spokesperson for American Airlines tells TMZ ... "On Sept. 3, ​American ​Airlines ​flight 618 diverted to Baltimore ​(BWI) ​due to a disruptive customer. Upon arrival, law ​enforcement ​met the ​aircraft and ​assisted with ​deplaning ​the ​customer before ​the ​flight continued ​to ​its ​destination.

A passenger went totally berserk on an American Airlines flight Thursday night -- screaming racial and anti-gay slurs -- and ended up getting duct-taped to his seat to restrain his behavior ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ obtained video and photos of the wild incident, which took place on an AA flight from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport to Newark Liberty International Airport. However, the plane got diverted to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

The photos show the man looking like a mummy wrapped up in duct tape while secured to his seat. Even his head is duct-taped along with his hands. The video captures the crew and passengers restraining the man in his seat as he apparently tries to put up a fight.

The butterfly is a fitting tribute ... Dolly has long used the insect as a personal and career symbol because of her connection to nature. She's said she felt connected to butterflies ever since chasing them as a child in Tennessee's Smoky Mountains.

Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, is trying to block the mistrial, arguing in part the holdout juror is not following the law concerning reasonable doubt ... at least so claims the jury foreman.

The vote is 11 - 1, and although we do not know what specific charge is behind the vote, it seems somewhat likely the 11 may be voting not guilty by reason of insanity.

Sarah Jane Nader flashed her rock-hard abs in a tiny tank top ... and yet it's her hand-holding with her "Dancing With the Stars" partner, Hailey Bills, that captured eyes this time.

The reality TV star left rehearsal hand in hand with Hailey later Thursday night ... big grins on their faces while they posed for the camera.

Like we noted ... SJN's decked out in a barely-there top and blue sweatpants -- while Hailey looked every bit a pro dancer in her all-black ensemble and white tennis shoes.

They deliberated for 38 hours ... 2 hours after the judge said the lone holdout could remain on the jury.

The jury has sent the judge a note ... saying it was with a heavy heart that the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict.
