Nick Diaz says Conor McGregor HIT A KID in his water bottle throwing rampage at the UFC 202 press conference ... and even got an exclusive interview with the alleged victim.

Nick was standing right next to his brother when Conor launched the water attack -- and after the incident, he grabbed the pint-sized alleged victim for a video testimony.

"Aw, that's f***ed up," Diaz said.

"Bro, why you hitting kids with bottles??"

Pandemonium at the UFC 202 presser ... with Conor McGregor grabbing water bottles and THROWING THEM at Nate Diaz ... while calling Nate's crew a bunch of "crackhead eses."

It all went down in Vegas moments ago ... Conor arrived to the event 30 minutes late.

When he finally got there, Nate stormed off the panel ... setting McGregor off.

McGregor unleashed a bunch of f-bomb laden insults -- while grabbing any projectile he could find and throwing it at Nate and his crew.

Dana White warned Conor to stop throwing stuff and then canceled the rest of the event.

"See you Saturday."

Most people thought Shemar Moore's cryptic words on karma were all about his ex co-star -- and nemesis -- Thomas Gibson, but Shemar's hinting it WAS aimed at a different "Criminal Minds" actor.

Shemar was out in L.A. when a photog asked if he was reacting to Thomas getting fired from "Criminal Minds" ... since they famously had beef on set. Check out the clip ... Shemar says people got it twisted -- denying he was throwing shade at Gibson.

The other prime suspect is Keith Tisdell -- a former friend and co-star who was recently convicted for stealing $60k from Shemar's charity. He definitely did NOT deny it was Tisdell.

As for his current feelings about Gibson? Shemar was polite, for sure, but still seems kinda icy.

Karma, bro.

UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz fired back at Cody "No Love" Garbrandt -- calling him "the CM Punk of the 135 pound division."

Garbrandt has been talking all sorts of smack lately -- and even went after Cruz's back tattoo ... saying the tribal look is lame and outdated.

So, Cruz joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (weeknights on FS1) -- and promised Garbrandt that his mouth is writing checks his ass can't cash.

We tried to get Cruz to give Garbrandt props for dating Paige VanZant in the past -- but he simply responded, "I don't know what she was thinking."

Funny stuff.

Justin Bieber won't give Selena Gomez the time of day, or a chance to formally apologize for publicly bashing his current relationship and insinuating he cheated during theirs.

JB sources tell TMZ ... Selena's been trying to contact Justin since the social media war went nuclear Monday night -- but Justin's not responding. We're told he feels like his ex won't let go, and she's constantly looking for ways to insert herself in his biz.

Bieber's particularly amused Selena ripped him for threatening to quit Instagram, because she did the same exact thing earlier this year. We're told he thinks it's pretty two-faced and, right now at least, he's "very over her" ... even though she sort-of apologized on her Snapchat, admitting what she said was "selfish and pointless."

Amber Heard has dismissed her domestic violence restraining order petition against Johnny Depp, because TMZ has learned the case has settled.

Amber and Johnny filed legal docs Tuesday in which Amber withdrew her request for a restraining order. She had alleged Johnny brutalized her on May 21 but now the case is over. She dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning she can never re-file it.

The divorce case, which was tied to the domestic violence petition, is also resolved. As we reported, our sources say Johnny agreed to pay Amber approximately $7 million to walk away ... that includes attorneys' fees ... at a point, $8 million was on the table, so she ended up with a mil less.

As we reported, Johnny's lawyers, Laura Wasser and Blair Berk, along with Amber's lawyers, Pierce O'Donnell and Samantha Spector, crafted a settlement after Amber was grilled Saturday during a deposition.

Amber and Johnny released a joint statement: "Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love..."

The statement goes on: "Neither party has made false accusations for financial gains." That's an interesting sentence, because it does not say neither party has made false statements.

And it goes on ... "There was never an intent of physical or emotional harm."

And it ends this way ... "Amber wishes the best for Johnny in the future. Amber will be donating financial proceeds from the divorce to a charity." She does not specify what percentage and which charity.

Antonio Cromartie's wife says her husband went out and fathered 13 kids because of the lack of love from his own mother.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Antonio is evicting his mom from the home he bought her in 2007 because she refuses to make the monthly mortgage payments, per the agreement Antonio claims they made.

But Antonio's wife, Terricka Cromartie, says there's a bigger issue -- claiming Antonio's mom simply doesn't like her ... and she's taking it out on Antonio's family.

"You can dislike me his wife as much as you want but look at what you are doing to your child," Terricka wrote in a statement posted to social media.

"This is why my husband prolly fathered so many kids because the lack of love from you."

Terricka says Antonio's mother has the money to pay for the home -- but instead she's stiffing the bank and ruining Antonio's credit in the process.

Johnny Depp could have saved the paint -- and the blood --- when he allegedly wrote the words "Billy Bob" with what was left of his finger on a mirror ... because Mr. Thornton says he never hooked up with Amber Heard.

TMZ broke the story ... Amber and her people claim in March, 2015 Johnny accidentally cut his fingertip off in the middle of an argument with Amber ... and did his artful handiwork on the mirror after accusing her of cheating with Billy Bob when they co-starred in the flick, "London Fields," which was set to be released in 2015.

Billy Bob tells us the cheating allegation is ridiculous ... "completely false."

Thornton says he never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner. Even on the set, he says he didn't hang with her ... he was mostly around members of the crew. He adds he didn't even have a friendship with the actress ... it was all professional, on the set, and that was it.

As for Johnny, even though they were on the same set, Billy Bob says they had no interaction ... did not even speak.

Billy Bob's been married to wife Connie Angland since 2014. He says he's talked to Connie about the story and assured her it was Johnny's fantasy.

UFC star Cody Garbrandt hates EVERYTHING about Dominick Cruz -- especially his tribal tattoo.

Cody "No Love" has been trashing Cruz like crazy lately -- and Monday, he went in on Dom's upper back body art ... saying the champ's ink is corny and outdated.

Then comes the physical threat ... with Garbrandt promising to break Cruz's jaw after he disposes of Takeya Mizugaki at UFC 202 this weekend.

Johnny Depp accidentally cut off his fingertip in a fit of rage ... then dipped the stump in dark blue paint and wrote on the wall in paint and blood the name "Billy Bob" -- the actor with whom Johnny accused Amber Heard of cheating -- this according to Amber and her people.

TMZ has obtained this gruesome photo of Johnny's butchered finger -- WARNING ... EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO LOOK AT. It's an exhibit in her domestic violence case against Johnny.

We're told the incident went down in March of last year, just a month after Amber and Johnny married. They were in a villa in Australia when a fierce argument erupted.

According to Amber's version of events Johnny, who was drunk and high on ecstasy, smashed several bottles and windows and also slammed a plastic phone against the wall unit. She claims a piece of one of the items cut off a portion of the middle finger on his right hand.

Amber's version goes on ... she's a painter and had dark blue paint in the room. She claims Johnny dipped what remained of his forefinger in the paint and then used the gnarly digit to write various words on a mirror, including "Billy Bob" and "Easy Amber."

Amber had done a movie with Billy Bob Thornton and she claims Johnny accused the 2 of sleeping together -- something she strongly denied, adding he accused her of infidelity with other men as well.

Amber's people say Johnny didn't get medical help for nearly 24 hours, so doctors could not reattach the fingertip ... they used a flap from his hand to sew on a new tip.

Shemar Moore didn't mention Thomas Gibson by name, but he's almost certainly taking glee in his former co-star getting the ax ... saying it's all about karma.

Shemar and Gibson had beef during their stints on "Criminal Minds" ... loud arguments on set to the point Gibson's ex-manager had to talk Gibson out of physically going after Moore.

TMZ broke the story, Gibson kicked a writer in the shins during an argument on set. He was first suspended and then fired by CBS and ABC.

Moore deleted the video after posting it, but we all know how that works.

Keshia Knight Pulliam says her estranged husband, Ed Hartwell, is so abusive, so violent, so diabolical ... he has plotted to kill their unborn child.

Keshia claims in divorce docs Ed "has been plotting to harm and obstruct [her] pregnancy" by engaging in "certain underhanded and unusual conduct" that would trigger a miscarriage.

Keshia, who is 5 months along, is not specific as to Ed's conduct, but she says he's engaged in "cruel treatment" which has adversely affected her pregnancy.

Keshia says in legal docs ... during their short marriage, Ed was constantly cursing, yelling and demeaning her. She says he also had affairs with multiple women, including a former baby mama.

And Keshia says she and Ed have multiple firearms ... she feels unsafe and wants an order forcing him to turn all the guns over to her. She's also asking the judge to order him to stay clear of her.

She wants the judge to order a mental evaluation.

Hope Solo just went off on the Swedish soccer team ... reportedly calling them "a bunch of cowards" after Team USA lost in a penalty shootout.

An obviously pissed off Solo spoke with reporters directly after the game ... and said, "I’m very proud of this team. But I also think we played a bunch of cowards."

"The best team did not win today. I strongly believe that. I think you saw American heart. You saw us give everything we had today," reports SI.com's Grant Wahl.

When asked why she called Sweden "cowards" -- Solo explained said she wasn't impressed with their style of play ... especially the lack of passing.

"They dropped into a 50. They didn’t try and press. They didn’t want to open the game. And they tried to counter with longballs. We had that style of play when Pia was our coach. I don’t think they’re going to make it far in the tournament. I think it was very cowardly. But they won. They’re moving on, and we’re going home."

What do Amber Heard and Tyga have in common? They both violated court orders to testify under oath in L.A. and both are outside the borders of the USofA.

Sources tell us ... Amber is still ensconced in London, even though she's been ordered to appear for her deposition in her domestic violence/divorce case Friday at 10 AM.

The consequences could be severe. Johnny Depp's lawyers have already asked the judge to prohibit her from testifying in next week's trial because she refused to go in the depo room last weekend and testify. Depp's lawyer, Laura Wasser, says Amber was crying and screaming in an adjoining room, refusing to sit and testify. The judge could also just dismiss the domestic violence case.

Heard faces some tough questions ... among them -- why she thinks cops and apartment staff never saw injuries to her face.

We know both sides have been trying to settle the case, but money is the sticking point.

Vin Diesel just scored an incredibly powerful ally in his war with The Rock ... Tyrese.

Vin's "Fast 8" co-star just made it clear ... it's Vin who is the driving force behind the franchise, and people like Rock need to respect that.

Tyrese posted a pic with the caption, "I've always said that if ONLY people knew how hard you work to protect this franchise and characters, minds would be blown," adding, "I'm so f****** proud to call you my family and my brother."

And then the hammer ... "if no one else will jump out there and stand up I will."

Vin also got vague support from fellow 'Furious' co-star Ludacris, who just posted a pic of the cast ... sans Rock.

War still raging.

The crew has chosen sides in the "Fast 8" feud between The Rock and Vin Diesel ... and Rock wins, hands down.

Production sources tell TMZ, The Rock has been upset with Vin's work ethic for a long time, and he's not alone. Members of the crew tell us Vin was often 30 minutes to an hour late to shoot scenes ... and it wasn't because he was late to the set -- he was simply in his trailer and wouldn't come out.

We're told Vin didn't like Monday 7 AM calls so production was forced to make the start time 10 AM to accommodate him.

And the crew felt Vin's arrogance was out of control, especially because he had a producer title. We're told he wouldn't listen to anyone and would goad people, including The Rock, by criticizing their acting.

The crew has a vastly different view of The Rock. They say he's the ultimate professional who is always on time and always nails his scenes. They also say he's easy to work with.

As we reported, Vin and Rock have been clashing for a long time and it came to a head Monday when Rock exploded on social media, calling out a male co-star (it's Vin) for being unprofessional.

And as we told you, Vin confronted Rock Tuesday in Rock's trailer, but their issues remain unresolved.
