Celebrity Feuds

Bella Hadid's mom is striking back at the Olympic gold medalist who trolled Bella for her new deal as a Nike brand ambassador.

Figure skater Meryl Davis basically slammed Bella for working with the athletic giant -- posting a pic of Bella with the swoosh, Kylie Jenner in Puma gear and gymnast Aly Raisman ... with the caption, "I'll take the one promoted by the athlete please."

Mama bear ain't happy. Yolanda Hadid tells TMZ, Bella had Olympic dreams and competed in equestrian riding every weekend from age 3 until 15, when Bella got Lyme disease. She says Bella was forced to quit riding competitively.

The disease can fog the brain and slow reaction times -- an obvious danger while riding.

Athletics aside ... Yolanda added, "You obviously don't have to be an athlete to wear or enjoy Nike wear."

Soulja Boy has the perfect antidote for phony death threats gone awry ... and it rhymes with a million dollars.

We got Soulja at LAX where he cleared up a recent Twitter spat he escalated with Chi-Town MC Rico Recklezz ... on whom he put a $100k bounty.

Nick Diaz was inside 1 Oak nightclub when Conor McGregor went off on Floyd Mayweather Tuesday night -- and had this 2 word reaction -- "F*** you."

Diaz began Snapchatting himself during Conor's rant -- and said, "I was already the 2-weight world champion, bitch."

Then he threw up a middle finger and said, "F*** you."

John Legend has a message for anyone dismissing LeBron James' diss of Phil Jackson ... slow your roll ... saying LBJ's got the right to be pissed over Phil calling his business partners a "posse."

You've heard the beef by now ... LeBron thinks Phil was out of line ... maybe even racist ... for referring to his agent and business manager as his "posse" -- and saying Jackson wouldn't have used the term if LeBron's business team was white.

Only thing missing between 'Real Housewives of New York' star Jules Wainstein and estranged hubby Michael was some actual slimy mud during a vicious back-and-forth slinging in court.

The estranged couple appeared in court Wednesday in NYC for a spousal and child support hearing that quickly went south ... with their lawyers going at each other's throats with allegations of money troubles, drug use and being unfit parents.

Michael painted Jules as someone living way beyond her means ... whose spending quadrupled when she joined 'RHONY.' Michael pointed to a $40k AmEx bill in 2015 and $2k spent on Uber the first 15 days of October.

He also brought up Jules' history of drug use documented on TV ... to which the judge snapped back by saying, "I don't decide my cases based on what's on TV."

Jules admitted to making $60k during her 1 year stint on 'RHONY' while she was married. She blamed Michael for a pile of unpaid bills and not having filed proper tax returns in nearly a decade.

She said Michael doesn't deserve more time with their kids. She claims every other weekend is more than enough, since all he does is pawn the kids off on their nanny.

The judge made no decisions, saying they need to resolve their money issues first. Same goes for custody ... though the judge added there could well be a trial.

Ron Harper is coming out strong in defense of his ex-Chicago Bulls coach Phil Jackson -- saying straight-up, "He's no racist" ... despite comments made by LeBron James.

Phil's been under fire this week -- ever since LeBron slammed Jackson for describing his close business associates as a "posse."

LeBron says he was offended by the term -- claiming it was used in a derogatory manner toward a group of African-Americans.

We reached out to Harper -- who played under Jackson with the Bulls and Lakers from 1994 to 2001 -- and he sent us a statement on the situation. Here it is in its entirety:

"Don't want no part of this story it's dumb and stupid. Phil is no racist and back when Phil coached, we all call them the p word."

"I respect LBJ and that's how he feel I'm sorry pj is great. The world needs to stop taking words out of context. Everything about life is not a white and black thing. We're one race and that's a human race and if we let dumb people's put us into a box and then no one would survive."

"This is not an excuse for what Phil said or down playing the story but to me it's a no story."

Cedric the Entertainer is Team LeBron in the NBA star's beef with Phil Jackson -- telling TMZ Sports LeBron is right ... the word "posse" is "wack."

Phil's been under fire this week -- ever since LeBron slammed Jackson for describing his close business associates as a "posse."

LeBron says he was offended by the term -- claiming it was used in a derogatory manner toward a group of African-Americans.

Conor McGregor has set his terms to box Floyd Mayweather -- $100 MILLION!

The two had been going back and forth on TMZ Sports earlier this week -- with Floyd calling him an "ant" and Conor daring him to "say that to my face."

But Tuesday night at 1 OAK in NYC, Conor took over the DJ booth, hijacked the mic and called out the boxer for everyone to see.

"Floyd's not ready for this," McGregor said.

"Much respect to Floyd. He's a solid businessman on what he's been able to do ... he's a f**king animal at what he's been able to do. But as far as real fighting ... as far as true pure unarmed combat ... Floyd don't want none of this."

"He wants a boxing match, he doesn't want a fight."

"I want a $100 million cash to fight him under boxing rules ... he's afraid of a real fight."

Ball's in Floyd's court now ...

Dana White ain't taking too kindly to Floyd Mayweather's shots at Conor McGregor -- blasting the boxing legend as one of the most boring fighters ever ... who needs to RESPECT the Irish stud.

Here's the FULL 5-minute shot with Floyd Mayweather -- where he blasts Conor McGregor over and over again ... and claims to be the biggest name in MMA.

It all went down on Monday -- when Floyd told our guy comparing Conor to him was "disrespectful" -- because he's an elephant and McGregor is an ant.

There's a lot more in the full clip ... including the part where Floyd accuses Conor of "piggybacking off my name."

Conor McGregor has a message for Floyd Mayweather -- if you wanna talk smack, "SAY IT TO MY FACE!"

We just shot the UFC superstar on the streets of NYC -- where he's still getting all sorts of love from fans -- and told him about the comments Mayweather made about him Monday.

McGregor called full B.S. on Floyd's claim that he didn't watch UFC 205 -- and then Conor straight-up called him out.

Ed Hartwell says the last place he belongs is behind bars ... because he's paid estranged wife Keshia Knight Pulliam every dime he was ordered to pay.

TMZ broke the story ... Pulliam demanded Hartwell get locked up after claiming he never came through with mandatory support payments. However, according to new docs filed by Ed, he's paid in full.

Keshia also claimed Ed missed a DNA test deadline for her unborn child -- but Ed's story's a little different -- claiming the "deadline" was something Keshia made up. He does not say whether he'll actually take the test though.

Floyd Mayweather is sick of the Conor McGregor comparisons -- saying it's "total disrespect" because the UFC star is an ant and Floyd is an elephant.

Seriously.

Tyron Woodley says he's done Twitter beefin' with Conor McGregor -- and if the UFC superstar really wants to settle their score with their fists, Ty has a message -- "I'll be your huckleberry."

Woodley appeared on the "TMZ Sports" show (airs Monday night on FS1) -- and told the guys he knows McGregor doesn't want "real beef" ... he just acts like it for the cameras.

Of course, the two have been going at it ever since an icy encounter at the UFC 205 weigh-ins.

Long story short ... Tyron says Conor knows he'd get wrecked if they really did meet in the Octagon.

Sounds like fightin' words to us.

Cris Collinsworth is straight Twitter beefin' with Bill Simmons ... and it's kind of awesome.

Here's the long story short ... Simmons was snarkin' on Twitter Sunday night during the Pats vs. Seahawks game on 'SNF' ... which Collinsworth was announcing.

Bill commented that someone needed to "gently" inform Cris that the Seahawks offense was dominating the Pats because they have a weak front 7.

CC didn't take kindly to the criticism and fired back.

"Thanks Bill, we'll look for you 'gently' breaking it down on that hit show of yours."

Ouch.

Of course, Cris was referring to Bill's show, "Any Given Wednesday" -- which was recently cancelled after disappointing ratings.

Cris has since deleted his tweet.

Marcellus Wiley says he was shaken to his core when he had a run-in with Suge Knight's goons at an L.A. club back in the day ... but says if he ever got a mano a mano with Suge ... he'd be just fine.

We got the ex-NFL star out at The Grove -- new family in tow -- and asked him about an infamous showdown between him an Suge's crew back in the day ... over a table at a nightclub.

Wiley ran the story down during a recent interview with VladTV ... saying his car was surrounded with guys when he left the club and it was actually The Game that warned him it was time to split.

MW says it's all cool with Suge now ... but we still had to ask ... take the crew out of it, and who wins in a throwdown between him and the former Death Row boss?

Wiley seems confident ... really confident ... wonder if Suge being currently "unavailable" (in jail) has anything to do with that?
