NFL Heiress Arrested Alleged Anti-Semitic, Drunk Attack
The daughter of former Washington Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke allegedly yelled at a woman, "Hurry up, Jew" ... and then bashed her son with a purse.
She was arrested ... and there's video of the crazy aftermath.
The woman who wound up in cuffs is 29-year-old Jacqueline Kent Cooke -- her dad owned the NFL team from '61 to '97. He also owned the Lakers from '65 to '79. The family is rich as hell.
Fast-forward to New Year's Eve when Cooke allegedly got pissed off while waiting for her coat at Caravaggio restaurant in Manhattan ... and yelled at the 77-year-old woman in front of her, "Hurry up, Jew. I got places to be."
The situation escalated and the woman's son -- 52-year-old Matthew Haberkorn told the NY Daily News he followed Cooke and her boyfriend outside to confront them about the comments.
That's when Cooke allegedly struck Haberkorn with her glass purse -- causing 2 lacerations on his head.
The video begins right after the alleged purse strike ... you can hear Matthew say, "She just f*cking hit me!"
Cooke responds, "You called me a f*cking bitch. You called me a c*nt."
Matthew fired back, "You called me a f*cking Jew.”
Cooke then tries to tackle him to the ground. She fails. Cooke's boyfriend yells out, "What are you doing? You're throwing a woman on the floor."
Matthew responds, "I didn't f*cking touch her."
Cooke and her BF left the scene -- but cops later arrested her for felony assault.

Rich Rodriguez Accuser: He Grabbed Penis In Front Of Me Players Sent Me Penis Pics
Rich Rodriguez's ex-assistant claimed the University of Arizona football coach terrorized her for years ... making several passes at her, forcing her to cover up his extramarital affair -- and grabbing his penis in front of her.
It's all laid out in the notice of claim she filed with the AZ Attorney General's Office -- the first step before filing a lawsuit.
In the document, both Melissa Wilhelmsen and her husband, Jason -- "a former Marine and DEA agent" -- describe Rodriguez as a monster who used his power to turn their lives into a living hell.
Among the allegations ...
-- Melissa claims U of A football players sent her screenshots of their genitalia and made illicit overtures via text. When she asked Rodriguez to intervene, he ignored her.
-- Melissa claims Rodriguez asked her to get a sideline pass to a 2015 football game against USC for a "friend" who turned out to be his sidepiece. Rich's wife was also on the sideline that day. Melissa claims she had to stand between the women to prevent a confrontation.
-- Melissa claims Rich's wife grew suspicious about his fidelity and grilled her at a private 3-hour lunch in 2016.
-- Melissa claims over the years, Rodriguez made advances on her despite the fact she was married ... and tried to kiss her at least once.
-- Melissa claims Rodriguez pulled her into a closed door meeting and began "grasping his penis beneath his basketball shorts which were pulled all the way up" in Feb. 2017.
-- Perhaps the most disturbing allegation ... Melissa claims Rodriguez ignored a warning from a team staffer about a player, Zach Hemmila, who seemed unwell and needed help.
Rodriguez allegedly "did nothing" about the warning -- and the next day, Hemmila was found dead from a painkiller overdose.
-- Melissa and her husband claim Rodriguez created a hostile work environment that caused dangerous amounts of stress on their marriage ... that led to her being hospitalized for severe migraine headaches.
They're seeking $7.5 million from Rodriguez.
For his part, Rodriguez has admitted to cheating on his wife -- but denies all other allegations.
Arizona fired Rodriguez this week -- but said an investigation into the "specific harassment allegations could not be substantiated based on the evidence and witnesses available to it."

Donald Trump Steve Bannon Has 'Lost His Mind' ... For Treason Quote
Donald Trump has completely turned on Steve Bannon -- saying the guy has lost his mind ... this after Bannon called a meeting the President's son took with Russians "treason."
Bannon was quoted by author Michael Wolff in a sweeping new book detailing the alleged chaos from Trump's first year in office as saying Don Jr.'s meeting in 2016 was treasonous.
Trump responded Wednesday in an official statement saying ... "Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind."
The Prez goes on to say that Bannon had little to do with his historic victory, and that while Bannon claims to be at war with the media ... he often leaked from the White House.
Trump says Bannon helped people -- presumably Wolff -- write phony books with his insights, which Trump says were actually limited.
Welp ... looks like that bridge is burned.

Brett Ratner Accuser You're Suing Me for Defamation To Intimidate Other Victims
Brett Ratner is singling out one of his accusers in court in an effort to silence other women from coming forward ... this according to the woman he's suing for claiming he raped her.
Melanie Kohler fired back at Ratner's defamation lawsuit against her -- and is asking a judge to toss it.
She says more famous women than her have publicly accused him of sexual misconduct, and she believes he's going after a lesser-known accuser to send a message to other accusers who are thinking of coming forward.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, her lawyers also question what Ratner is disputing about her rape claim ... he doesn't spell it out in the lawsuit. They also insist Kohler had no motivation to lie, as she was living with her family in Hawaii and had nothing to gain.
As we reported ... Ratner sued Kohler for defamation in November after she claimed on Facebook he raped her 12 years ago. He stands accused of sexual harassment and assault by at least 6 other women, including Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge.

UFC Bans Photog For Calling Cyborg a 'Dude'
The UFC has Cris Cyborg's back in a big way -- banning an MMA photog (who works for the gym where Holly Holm trains) after the guy referred to Cyborg as a "dude."
The man behind the offensive comments is Mark Aragon -- who handles photography and social media for the famous Jackson Wink MMA Academy in New Mexico.
After UFC 219, Aragon posted a photo of Cyborg on Instagram and wrote, "This dude is tough as hell" ... adding, "Holly was the first one to make his nose bleed."
Cyborg saw the post and wasn't happy -- calling for the UFC to take action against Aragon.
"It is not acceptable for an official representative of (Holly's gym) to call me transgender ... I expect an apology or their ability to get credentials for future UFC events to be affected by these actions."
UFC heard Cyborg loud and clear ... issuing a statement saying the org is "aware and troubled" by the comments and Aragon "will not be granted access for future events."
Aragon did issue an apology ... but it looks like it was too little too late.
Holly has not commented on the matter.
