Ezekiel Elliott presente en una pelea en un bar de Texas La policía investiga la implicación de sus amigos

Published | Updated

Ezekiel Elliott estaba en un bar de Texas el fin de semana cuando una violenta pelea estalló y ahora, los policías le dicen TMZ Sports que están investigando si los miembros de la tripulación de la estrella de la NFL estuvieron involucrados.

De acuerdo con documentos del Departamento de Policía de Frisco que obtuvimos, el disturbio ocurrió alrededor de la 1 AM en Concrete Cowboy, un club nocturno situado a pocos metros de las instalaciones de práctica de los Dallas Cowboys en Frisco.

El video grabado por un cliente del establecimiento muestra como Elliott estaba hablando con una mujer mientras varias personas se vieron envueltas en una pelea a pocos metros.

Se puede ver en las imágenes a un hombre que parece lanzar un puñetazo que aterriza de lleno en la espalda de otro hombre.

Los oficiales escribieron en un informe que el incidente que "un hombre y una mujer fueron agredidos físicamente por un gran grupo de hombres" en la pelea. Un portavoz del FPD añadió en un comunicado que los testigos alegaron que "miembros del grupo de Elliott pueden haber estado involucrados".

La Policía, sin embargo, dijo que una investigación sobre las denuncias sigue en curso y los detectives están "todavía trabajando para confirmar los detalles del incidente".

Elliott está, por supuesto, muy familiarizado con el área de Frisco. Jugó para los Cowboys durante las primeras siete temporadas de su carrera, antes de unirse a los New England Patriots en 2023.

El tailback de 28 años tuvo éxito en su primera temporada con el uniforme de otro equipo, acumulando 955 yardas totales desde el scrimmage y cinco TD totales.

Ezekiel Elliott was at a Texas bar over the weekend when a violent fight broke out ... and now, cops tell TMZ Sports they're investigating if members of the NFL star's crew were involved.

According to Frisco Police Dept. documents we obtained, the disturbance happened at around 1 AM at Concrete Cowboy -- a nightclub located a few yards from the Dallas Cowboys' practice facility in Frisco.

You can see in the footage, at one point during the squabble, a man appears to throw a punch that lands squarely on another man's back.

Officers wrote in an incident report that "a male and a female were physically assaulted by a large group of males" in the fracas. An FPD spokesperson added in a statement that witnesses alleged "members of Elliott's group may have been involved."

Cops, however, said a probe into the allegations is still ongoing ... and detectives are "still working to confirm the details of the incident."

Elliott is, of course, very familiar with the Frisco area ... he played for the Cowboys for the first seven seasons of his career, before he joined the New England Patriots in 2023.

The 28-year-old tailback found success in his first season in another team's uniform, piling up 955 total yards from scrimmage and five total TDs.

Mientras que nadie tiene una respuesta clara, mucha gente ya está especulando que puede tener que ver con lo que pasó el fin de semana, cuando Elle subió al escenario en el Grand Ole Opry y trató de interpretar una canción de Dolly Parton, solo para estropearlo terriblemente.

Fue acusada de arrastrar las palabras, olvidar la letra y actuar desordenadamente durante toda la actuación y muchos pensaron que podría haber estado bajo la influencia en ese momento. Elle misma lo confirmó diciendole a todos que estaba "muy borracha".

Elle King Suddenly Postpones Show No Explanation After Dolly Parton Flub

Published | Updated

Elle King will not be taking the stage later this week even though she was scheduled to -- 'cause she pulled the plug on her live gig kinda last minute ... without providing a reason.

The country star was set to rock the house Friday at a venue in Fort Worth, TX called Billy Bob's Texas -- which is basically a concert hall there in town ... and where EK was due to serve as the main talent heading into the weekend.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

On Wednesday, however, it was announced by Billy Bob and co. that Elle would not actually be performing ... they said she had to postpone her show, and wouldn't be able to come back until way down the road in September.

TMZ confirmed the news -- and a rep there told us they just got word from Elle's team about this today ... so yes, the entire thing is very sudden. More importantly, we're told Elle's camp did not offer any valid explanation for the postponement.

While nobody has a clear answer on why Elle bailed, a lot of people are already speculating it may have to do with what went down over the weekend ... when Elle went onstage at the Grand Ole Opry and tried covering a Dolly Parton song -- only to botch it terribly.

She was accused of slurring her words, forgetting the lyrics and acting disorderly through the whole performance -- and many thought she might've been under the influence at the time. Elle herself confirmed that in her words ... telling everyone she was "f****** hammered."

Her "tribute" to DP caught a ton of flak ... and now, she's stepping away from the spotlight, it seems. We reached out to Elle's team ourselves and were told she had to postpone for "unforeseen circumstances" ... and they noted they wouldn't be commenting on this further.

BTW, Elle's got another show scheduled in Shipshewana, IN in February -- and a rep for the venue there tells us a postponement announcement for that is imminent as well.

Chris Young New Video Shows Him Getting Pushed ... Did He Start Fight?!?

Published

Chris Young is accused of starting a fight with a Tennessee bureaucrat in a bar -- but now, new video appears to show he didn't do much of anything at all ... or so it seems, anyway.

You'll recall ... the country singer was arrested earlier this week after law enforcement officials alleged he got physical with an agent from the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission out in Nashville Monday night -- this after they came in to check IDs and driver's licenses.

Waiting for your permission to load the Facebook Video.

The arrest affidavit claims Chris blocked the TABC agents from exiting the bar they were at -- alleging he then put hands on one of them ... and even claiming he struck one of their shoulders. That resulted in some sort of scuffle ... and with Chris being booked.

He's facing charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and assault on an officer -- but with this new video here ... many are questioning whether Chris did anything whatsoever.

Chris' attorney has been decrying the charges, insisting these clips of the incident -- which are making the rounds online and elsewhere -- make it crystal clear ... he's innocent.

TMZ INVESTIGATES

His client has a court date later in February to answer for these charges ... but Chris' lawyer is pushing to have them dropped outright, and based on what's depicted here -- he might have a point. It certainly looks like Chris didn't start any fight ... the other dude did.

Anyway, we'll see what comes of it ... and whether Chris ends up entering a plea. We already know his position on this publicly, though -- he's saying he didn't do squat.

Cameron Dicker The Kicker looked more like Cameron Dicker The Chugger on Sunday night ... 'cause the Chargers star ripped off his shirt and gulped down an entire beer in seconds while at the Ducks game!!

The 23-year-old -- who made 94 percent of his field goal attempts for LA this season -- made the trek down to Anaheim to catch the Ducks' tilt against the Rangers ... and it didn't take long for him to send the crowd into a frenzy.

While appearing on the Honda Center's jumbotron in the second period ... he ditched his top and sucked down all of his suds while his buds joined in.

After he finished the beverage, he held up his jersey and fired up everyone in attendance.

Unfortunately for Dicker and the Ducks, the home team wasn't able to use the burst of energy to pull out a win ... Anaheim went on to lose the game, 5-2.

But, Dicker had a blast regardless ... writing on his IG page that it was all "a great time."

Of course, the Chargers' season is now over ... so Cam can get to as many games as he wants the rest of this year -- perhaps even Tuesday night when the Sabres come to town?!

King subió al escenario el viernes por la noche en el Grand Ole Opry después de haber bebido demasiado y fue grabada en varios videos estropeando su homenaje a Parton, mientras interpretaba el tema del icono de la música, "Marry Me".

Échale un vistazo a las imágenes subidas a TikTok, King está de pie frente a un micrófono mientras canta la canción, pero su voz comienza a quebrarse y se olvida de la letra.

King entonces confiesa que no sabe la letra, suplicándole a la multitud que no se lo diga a Parton, mientras dice groserías por el micrófono.

En un momento dado, King incluso se burló de los fans por comprar entradas para el espectáculo, explicando: "Ni siquiera voy a (groserías) mentir... ustedes compraron entradas para esto (groserías), no van a recuperar su dinero".

Un fan respondió gritando: "No lo quiero", lo que provocó que King respondiera: "Bien, porque no lo vas a conseguir".

Pero, King no había terminado todavía, añadiendo: "Te voy a decir una cosa más... hola, mi nombre es Elle King. Estoy (maldice), muy borracha".

Otro fan publicó una queja en X sobre King, diciendo que "arruinó la noche con su horrible, borracha y profana actuación", mientras afirmaba que "Parton se habría mortificado".

El Grand Ole Opry comentó el post, expresando que "lamentan profundamente y se disculpan por el lenguaje que se utilizó durante la segunda actuación del Opry de anoche".

Hasta ahora, King y Parton no se han referido públicamente al asunto. Pero la hermana de Parton, Stella, se pronunció sobre la polémica, llamando a King "mal educada".

King hit the stage Friday night at the Grand Ole Opry after admittedly having one too many drinks – and was caught on multiple videos botching her tribute to Parton, while performing the music icon's tune, "Marry Me."

At one point, King even mocked the fans for purchasing tickets to the show, explaining, "I'm not even gonna (curses) lie … y'all bought tickets for this (curses), you ain't getting your money back."

One fan shouted a response, "I don't want it," prompting King to reply, "Good, 'cause you ain't getting it."

But, King wasn't done yet, adding, "I'll tell you one thing more … hi, my name is Elle King. I'm (curses), hammered."

Another fan posted a complaint on X about King, saying she "ruined the night with her horrible, drunk, and profane performance," while claiming "Parton would have been mortified."

Grand Ole Opry commented on the post, expressing that they "deeply regret and apologize for the language that was used during last night’s second Opry performance."

So far, King and Parton have not publicly addressed the matter. But Parton's sister, Stella, weighed in on the controversy, calling King a "hillbilly."

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Diddy & Diageo No More Bad-mouthing ... Settled Our Drama!!!

Published

Diddy and alcohol giant Diageo were ensnarled in a nasty legal battle last year -- but that's old news now ... 'cause TMZ can confirm both parties have buried the hatchet.

Both Diddy and Diageo tell TMZ simultaneously ... "Sean Combs and Diageo have now agreed to resolve all disputes between them. Mr. Combs has withdrawn all of his allegations about Diageo and will voluntarily dismiss his lawsuits against Diageo with prejudice."

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The statement continues ... Diageo and Mr. Combs have no ongoing business relationship, either with respect to Cîroc vodka or DeLeón tequila, which Diageo now solely owns."

The Bad Boy music mogul sued the company last year -- accusing them of racism for allegedly neglecting his tequila line, DeLeón Tequila. Diddy claimed Diageo put this booze on the backburner, and alleged there were racist intentions behind it.

Diageo, of course, denied that ... and said they'd tried dealing with this behind closed doors -- but once Diddy opened the legal floodgates, they were ready to defend themselves.

This case has been playing out quietly behind the scenes, but now ... it's suddenly over. Diddy's withdrawing his lawsuit against Diageo -- and while there's no mention of it explicitly ... this certainly smells like a settlement of some sort.

Diddy was seeking billions in damages ... unclear what sort of terms they might've landed on.

Diddy y Diageo No más malas palabras... ¡Arreglado nuestro drama!

Published | Updated

Diddy y el gigante del alcohol Diageo se vieron envueltos en una desagradable batalla legal el año pasado, pero eso ya es parte del pasado porque TMZ puede confirmar que ambas partes han decidido enterrar la pelea.

Tanto Diddy como Diageo le dicen a TMZ simultáneamente: "Sean Combs y Diageo han acordado resolver todas las disputas entre ellos. El Sr. Combs ha retirado todas sus acusaciones sobre Diageo y desestimará voluntariamente sus demandas con prejuicio".

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

El comunicado continúa: "Diageo y el Sr. Combs no tienen ninguna relación comercial en curso, ni con respecto al vodka Cîroc ni al tequila DeLeón, que ahora Diageo posee exclusivamente".

El magnate de la música Bad Boy demandó a la empresa el año pasado, tras acusarla de racismo por descuidar supuestamente su línea de tequila, DeLeón. Diddy afirmó que Diageo dejó la bebida de lado y alegó que había intenciones racistas detrás de ello.

Diageo, por supuesto, lo negó y dijo que habían tratado de hacer frente a esto a puertas cerradas, pero una vez que Diddy abrió las compuertas legales, estaban dispuestos a defenderse de vuelta.

Este caso se había estado desarrollando en silencio entre bastidores y ahora repentinamente se acabó. Diddy ha retirado su demanda contra Diageo y aunque no se menciona explícitamente, esto sin duda huele a un acuerdo de algún tipo.

Diddy estaba buscando miles de millones en daños y perjuicios. No está claro a qué tipo de términos podrían haber llegado.

John Mayer to Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen Cat Got Your Tongue???

Published | Updated

John Mayer destroyed Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen on CNN's New Year's Eve show ... turning them into laughing hyenas as cat butts populated his side of the screen!

John joined the 2 best friends on the broadcast from a cat cafe in Tokyo. JM never made clear why alcohol mixes with felines, but even if he did it would not have made a difference.

Anderson couldn't hold it together, as John used his deadpan humor at the Cats in the Box Cafe to render the 2 hosts unable to carry on a convo.

Maybe part of the reason is that CNN seems to have changed its "no drinking" policy because the 2 ACs were taking some pretty serious shots every hour.

A good time was had by all.
