Altercations

If you wanted to do a check-in with 'Real Housewives of New York' star Dorinda Medley ... her response might be 'not well, b****!" ... because she is taking her neighbor to court for alleging building on a shed that touches her property!

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ ... Dorinda is asking the judge to find that her neighbor's new shed, fence, and driveway encroach on her fancy property in Massachusetts.  She wants the judge to order the immediate removal of the neighbor's stuff on her property.

Dorinda claims the neighbor constructed a shed and expanded their driveway onto her property ... which the New York housewife eventually noticed and hired a land surveyor in May to complete a survey of the two properties that determined the encroachments were, in fact, on her turf.

Watching Tamar Braxton and Kandi Burruss try to play nice during a photo op may be one of the funniest things you see all day.

They were lined up on stage alongside greats like Brandy, Monica, and Missy Elliott -- who was awarded the Essence Icon Award -- for Essence Fest's Black Women in Music ceremony on Sunday ... and had an awkward little moment before cameras started flashing.

You can see in the clip, Tamar reaches across Monica to grab Kandi's hand to say hi ... but Kandi clearly wasn't here for it.

A Chicago news crew actually became the news after they were allegedly attacked by several men in a tow truck during a racially charged incident ... and three people are now in custody.

The heated situation popped off Monday afternoon as a CBS reporter and photog were about to go live on air near the Adler Planetarium ... they were interrupted by a tow truck that parked in front of their van, according to witnesses and the Chicago PD.

Police say a man jumped out of the tow truck with his dog and ordered his canine to attack the news crew while yelling racial slurs at them. Witnesses told CBS the other two men in the tow truck also jumped out to assist. 

A far-right influencer and some of his supporters showed up to the BET Awards holding racist signs ... sparking a melee that was caught on video.

See for yourself ... Jake Lang -- who President Trump pardoned for crimes committed during the January 6 insurrection -- had a group of people rush him while outside Sunday's award show at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles ... and it got pretty ugly.

Lang claims he was "nearly MURDERED by a violent BLACK MOB" ... alleging he had a glass bottle thrown at him, among other objects.

He didn't mention the messages he was there delivering ... including signs reading, "BLACK PARENTS are FAILURES."

T.I.'s entourage was beefing with security at the BET Awards ... and the heated showdown was caught on video.

Check out the footage from before Sunday's award show at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles ... both sides fire off expletives before one man is shoved back ... and tempers flare as T.I. gets a front-row seat to all the action.

A security guard dares T.I.'s entourage ... "Whatchu wanna do?" before adding ... "I'll f*** your a** up!" He's slowly driven back, away from T.I., as he yaps about a gang affiliation and begs for a fight outside.

Security footage in Big Tigger's home appears to capture part of a fight with his wife, including his alleged assault of her ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ obtained footage from a Ring camera that captured the alleged May 9 incident, where the former “Rap City” host’s wife, Alicia, claims he attacked her.

In the video, you can hear Alicia telling someone to take a picture … that’s when it looks like Big Tigger approaches her, grabbing her by the neck and telling her to stop.

Tom Sandoval was at his breaking point in his relationship with Victoria Lee Robinson when he shoved her dad into a lit fire pit ... at least that's what a source is saying.

A source familiar with the situation tells TMZ ... the footage of Tom pushing his ex's dad, Will, was taken out of context. We're told, "It captures only a fraction of an incident that followed months of physical and psychological abuse by Victoria and her father."

Our source insists Tom "has never physically harmed" Victoria, and had never gotten physical with her father before that night.

Milli Vanilli's Fab Morvan says he never got the chance to patch things up with Clive Davis before the legendary music producer died.

We got Fab in New York City on Tuesday and our photog asked him about Clive, who died this week at 94.

Fab says death is just a part of life ... and while he never had a chance to squash his longstanding beef with the record exec, it doesn't seem like there's any lingering bad blood.

The mother of the little girls who were with their father when an irate man confronted them in a gas station bathroom is mad -- and she just unloaded on both men from the viral encounter.

Zoe Lavely, the ex of Tyler Brodsky, and mom of the girls, said in a lengthy Facebook post ... the man who lost his s*** was outrageous, and Tyler handled that well.

But she's also plenty pissed with Tyler for her children being overexposed to the world with the viral video, which is a big problem for her as a protective mama.

The Mississippi man who got into it with a dad over bringing his two girls into a women's bathroom may have lost his job ... but he's not going to be arrested or cited by the police, TMZ has learned.

In fact, everyone involved in the heated incident this week at a QuikTrip in Alabama is NOT in trouble with the law, according to police in Pell City.

Pell City Police Chief Justin Cooper tells TMZ ... the two men were involved in an unfortunate incident, but there was no malice shown by either person, and no crime was committed.

10:30 AM PT -- TMZ has learned the man who confronted a dad over bringing his two girls into a women's bathroom won't be arrested.

The Mississippi man who called police on a father trying to help his young girls in a women's gas station restroom has gone viral -- and it just cost him his realtor gig, TMZ has learned.

A rep with his real estate agency tells TMZ ... the man was an independent contractor and licensed realtor on a trip not affiliated with the company ... and since the bathroom video made national headlines ... the company decided to no longer use his services -- because their “values” don't align.

Gia Giudice is still super pissed at her "Next Gen NYC" costar Ava Dash ... all over an incident with her mom Teresa.

Gia dropped by the Virtual Reali-Tea podcast and took some time to light Ava up for saying Teresa unfollowed her on social media ... apparently a major slight in their world.

The way Gia sees it ... Ava's swipe at Teresa was a "convenient" distraction from her father Damon Dash's money troubles ... ripping her costar as "nasty" for the move.

Tyler Brodsky went viral for trying to help his young girls in a gas station bathroom when another dude lost his mind and called the freaking cops ... and now the dad's hoping the ridiculous situation starts a larger conversation.

Here's the deal ... Tyler started filming an irate customer when the man confronted him in an Alabama QuikTrip gas station because the dude's wife needed to use the bathroom, and he was livid when she told him a man was in the ladies' room.

Tyler tells TMZ ... he's shocked the video went viral ... but the situation is one many solo girl dads find themselves in when the little ladies need to do their business. And he makes it clear to us ... the bathroom was empty when the three went in. So, WTF?!

Cassie says she's being harassed and threatened by an ex-male escort who used to be hired for her freak-offs with Diddy ... and now she wants a judge to step in and help her ... TMZ has learned.

Cassie's lawyers fired off a letter Thursday to the judge handling a lawsuit Clayton Howard filed against her ... and in the note, obtained by TMZ, Cassie says Clayton posted a video on social media last week where he allegedly made threats against her ... including, "Bitch, I'm going to burn you out with fire."

Clayton allegedly added ... "You want to play stupid games, you can win stupid prizes." Cassie's lawyers insist the comments constitute true threats of violence.

Ten years after a 2-year-old boy was killed by an alligator at Walt Disney World, newly released records reveal the resort has removed a staggering 414 gators from its property since the tragedy.

The staggering number comes a decade after 2-year-old Lane Graves was fatally drowned by an alligator while playing near the shoreline of a lagoon outside Disney's Grand Floridian Resort in June 2016.

According to records, obtained by ClickOrlando, hundreds of alligators have been trapped and removed from Disney World property since the tragedy, highlighting the ongoing challenge of managing wildlife at the massive Florida resort.

"Teen Mom" star Ryan Edwards' marriage may have been in far rougher shape than fans realized ... because his wife Amanda Conner told a 911 dispatcher they were in the middle of a divorce.

Just one day after she was arrested on a DUI charge last month, Amanda called 911 requesting an officer accompany her while she collected belongings from the home she shared with Ryan.

In audio obtained by The Ashley's Reality Roundup, Amanda can be heard telling the dispatcher, "Me and my husband are in the middle of a divorce and ... and I just don’t feel comfortable."
