Jerry Ferrara Sued Beat it, Turtle ... Fat Sal's Fed Up!
Jerry Ferrara is driving a really hard bargain with the chain of sandwich joints he co-owns and agreed to promote ... so claims Fat Sal's in a new lawsuit aimed at 86'ing Ferrara.
Ferrara grew unhappy with his Fat Sal's deal and wanted a bigger ownership stake in the restaurants as it expanded ... according to the docs. The Gayley Group, which runs Fat Sal's, says Ferrara bought stock back in 2010 and had a nice return -- nearly $200k on an investment of $74k.
The company says Ferrara was supposed to pump up the deli shop, but threatened to bail on all promotions because he grew sour with his deal. In the suit, the co. says Ferrara complained so much ... Gayley ultimately offered him a 5% stake in some of the new restaurants it was opening.
Gayley says Ferrara instead demanded 10%. When that was shot down, Gayley claims Ferrara sicced his lawyers on them.
The company's suing to remove him as a partner.

Phaedra Parks 'Bomb' Suspect/Friend Ordered to Keep His Distance
It doesn't matter if Phaedra Parks is longtime pals with the guy accused of threatening her with a bomb ... a judge says he still has to stay away from her.
Terence Cook, best known as the rapper, Drama ... was released on a $25,000 bond last week with strict conditions while he's out of jail -- including not coming within 200 yards of Phaedra, her office or her crew. He also has to wear an ankle monitor, and get a mental evaluation.
The tight leash comes after Phaedra told TMZ ... Drama is an old friend and former client of hers, and the whole "bomb" incident was a huge misunderstanding. She says Drama was dropping off his mixtape, not a bomb.
As we reported, he was arrested back in July for the alleged bomb threat at Phaedra's office.
Phaedra told us she was trying to help Drama get legal assistance. We've reached out to her, but no word back yet.

Shaun White Sued Graphic Sexual Harassment Allegations ... Penis Pics, Fecal Matter, Hair Demands
12:35 PM PT -- Shaun has issued a statement vigorously denying the allegations.
The female drummer in Shaun White's rock band is doubling down in her lawsuit against the X Games star -- claiming he sexually harassed her for years ... and she has the text messages to prove it.
We broke the story ... White is being sued by Lena Zawaideh -- who formed the band Bad Things with White back in 2008. She was fired shortly after the end of their 2014 tour. She claims she hasn't been paid for some of her work.
In new court docs obtained by TMZ Sports, Zawaideh claims she was subjected to the "darker, misogynistic personality" of White during her 7 years in the band.
Among the allegations, Zawaideh claims White sent her sexually explicit and graphic images of "engorged and erect penises" and forced her to watch sexually disturbing videos "including videos sexualizing human fecal matter."
One of the videos Zawaideh claims she was forced to watch was a couple killing a bear and then having sex on top of it.
She also claims White forced her to watch "Church of Fudge" -- a hardcore porn "involving a priest, a nun and fecal matter."
At one point, Zawaideh claims White stuck his hands down his pants, approached Zawaideh, and then "stuck his hands in her face trying to make her smell them."
She also claims he tried to kiss her on the mouth at a Halloween party in 2010 -- but she shut him down.
In her suit, filed by attorney Lawrance Bohm, Zawaideh claims White ran the band like a tyrant -- ordering her to cut her hair and wear sexually provocative outfits, despite her protests.
Amber Heard, Johnny Depp Case Settled!!!
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.

Tyga Famous Jeweler Declares War ... Where's My $200k??
Tyga may have opened the floodgates when he paid a fat settlement to an old landlord -- 'cause a celebrity jeweler was paying attention ... and hired the SAME LAWYERS to collect on his $200k debt.
The man with the vendetta is Jason of Beverly Hills -- who claims he got screwed out of some serious cash when Tyga stiffed him in a 2013 jewelry deal for a sick watch and chain.
Jason went to court and got a $200,000 judgment against Tyga -- but he hasn't seen a single cent and was getting sick and tired of chasing his cash.
That is ... until he saw Tyga coughed up a huge settlement last week to an old landlord who was ALSO going after the rapper for an old debt.
So, Jason says he called the landlord's attorneys -- Danny Abir and Boris Treyzon from Abir, Cohen, Treyzon, and Salo -- and hired the guys to do the same thing for him.
We're told the team plans to use the exact same playbook -- aggressively going after Tyga and his assets and turning up the heat to collect ASAP.

Faith Evans Promoter Says She Went Gangsta on Him
Faith Evans resorted to half-baked "gangsta-movie" quotes to explain why she bailed on a concert to instead play the Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour ... so says a promoter who's asked a judge to block her from performing in Atlanta.
Promoter Jeremy Hill filed docs hoping a judge puts the kibosh on Faith's plans to perform with Bad Boy Sept. 8 in Atlanta. Jeremy already sued Faith for backing out of his Sept. 10 concert at Wolf Creek Amphitheater.
As for why Faith bailed ... Hill says Faith used a "gangsta-movie" quote to explain -- "It's not personal, it's only business."
Not sure how that's gangsta ... Hill says Live Nation forced Faith to cancel the Sept. 10 concert to receive a purported $800k for performing with the Bad Boy tour. Hill goes on to say Faith's agent texted him, "I can't give up 25 dates for 1. I tried to work it out, she was going to do both shows but it's impossible."
He says Faith's offered to refund the deposit, but he's still pissed.

O.J. Mayo says he's fighting his ban from the NBA after allegedly violating the league's drug policy -- and tells TMZ Sports he expects to be back on the court soon.
The league handed down the punishment back in July -- and said he'll be eligible to apply for reinstatement in 2 years. The league has not released any details about the substance that triggered the violation.
But when we got Mayo out in L.A. Monday he told us he's not taking the situation lying down -- saying he filed an appeal and the process is already "in the works."
(UPDATE: There's some debate over what Mayo says in the clip. Some people believe he says, "I already appealed it. It didn't work." Our photog says he believes he heard "it's in the works." Listen to the video and judge for yourself.)
As for the alleged violation, Mayo says he will tell his side of the story soon -- and noted that he's been focused on recovering from recent foot surgery.
Mayo is only 28 years old -- and clearly isn't ready to be done with basketball just yet.

TMZ Sports has obtained the 911 call made by a witness who saw ex-NFL lineman Barret Robbins on a violent rampage in Florida last week ... and it sounds terrifying.
The caller initially reports a "huge drunk man just literally walked into (a pub) punched this kid in the face" in the late hours of August 8th.
We broke the story ... the former Oakland Raiders lineman (who was listed at 6'3", 320 during his playing days) was leaving a bar in Boca Raton when the rampage began.

Cops raced to the scene and Robbins was eventually arrested for felony battery. He was transported to a jail and then a mental health facility.

Chris Brown Destroys Baby Mama in Custody Court
Chris Brown annihilated his baby mama in custody court ... she lost so bad the judge ordered her to pay Chris back for the attorney fees he fronted her.
Sources connected to Chris tell us, Nia Guzman struck out on every single request regarding custody of 2-year-old Royalty. Nia wanted full custody -- DENIED. She wanted Chris to have monitored visitation -- DENIED. She wanted to deny Chris' mom the right to see the kid -- DENIED. She wanted Chris to submit to drug tests -- DENIED.
The judge maintained the status quo -- joint custody. Chris continues to get Royalty 12 days a month.
When Nia filed her legal docs asking for a change in custody the judge ordered Chris to pay her $20k so she could afford a lawyer. But she lost so hard, the judge said Nia wasn't entitled to the money and gave Chris a credit.
There was supposed to be a separate hearing on child support. Nia is currently getting $2,500 a month from Chris but she wanted nearly $16k. Nia has now dismissed her support petition.
Legal home run, Chris.
