Melania and Barron Trump Victory!!! YouTuber will Remove Bogus 'Autism' Video

Published | Updated

Melania Trump just got what she was after ... the man who posted the YouTube video suggesting Barron had autism is taking the video down.

The guy who posted the video says, "TMZ just contacted me to tell me Melania Trump is threatening a lawsuit over this video ... I never ever meant this as a bullying video."

The video was posted by someone who says he was diagnosed with autism at age 5, and he says he posted the video because he wanted to stop people for bullying Barron over his "weird behavior."

Fact is ... Barron does not have autism and the video perpetuated the bullying, but the guy behind the video says it will come down and he will issue a retraction and an apology to Melania and Barron.

As for Rosie O'Donnell -- who also suggested Barron had autism -- she's been radio silent Monday, but over the weekend she posted a long statement saying she meant no ill will but also never took back her questions about Barron and autism.

Nick Young Sued Allegedly Attacks Basketball Player ... During Church League Game

Melania Trump Threatens Suit Over False Barron 'Autism' Video And Says Rosie Made it Worse

Published | Updated

Melania Trump has hired a famous lawyer who is now threatening a lawsuit over a video suggesting her 10-year-old son, Barron, is autistic, and the letter calls out Rosie O'Donnell as a bully.

According to the letter, obtained by TMZ, the YouTube video falsely insinuates Barron is autistic. The letter, and our sources familiar with the situation, say Barron absolutely is not autistic.

Rosie tweeted out the video last week, with a caption, "Barron Trump Autistic?" The letter says, "The video allegedly seeks to 'stop the bullying' of Barron Trump. Not true ... The video did instigate further bullying by Rosie O'Donnell and others."

The video lists a number of signs it claims points to autism, including Barron clapping without slapping his hands together. Melania's attorney, Charles J. Harder, says Barron did this once -- at the end of a long day at the RNC -- but the "vast majority of the time, he claps normally."

The video shows Barron yawning and grimacing during his father's victory speech at the RNC and on election night. Melania's team says both events were late at night, and Barron was exhibiting normal behavior for a 10-year-old.

Melania is not threatening to sue Rosie, but her attorney, Harder, wants the person who posted the YouTube clip to delete it and post an apology.

Our sources say Melania is outraged and is serious about going after the person who posted the video if he doesn't take it down.

We're told Hill has now been charged with 2 counts of DUI, 1 count of driving on a suspended license and 1 count of driving without a license.

Hill could face jail time if convicted -- but likely won't ... a plea bargain is almost certain. The usual punishment for someone in his shoes is driving privileges suspended, community service, mandatory alcohol education and fines.

Hill has since been cut by the Rams -- despite the fact he was having a pretty good season.

50 Cent I'm Not a P.I.M.P. For Your Wraps and Rims!!

Published | Updated

50 Cent uses his image to plug a bunch of products -- vodka, headphones, etc -- but a few auto detailing companies used Fiddy, and he's pissed about it ... according to a new suit.

50's suing Phenomenal Vinyl, Rim Source Motorsports and Forgiato for posting pics of him on social media to sell vehicle wraps and rims. The rapper fully admits hiring them to do work on his whips, but says he gave the companies clear instructions to NOT post any photos or images of him.

In the suit, he says Phenomenal Vinyl went ahead and did just that on Instagram, and even tagged him in the image ... making it seem like he was endorsing them. He's suing all 3 companies for using his trademarked name without permission -- and also for holding a set of rims hostage, so to speak.

50 says PV is holding his gear until he settles a $31k tab, which he's refusing to pay because he thinks they overcharged as retaliation.

Amber Heard Children's Hospital Money MIA

Published | Updated

Amber Heard vowed to stuff the coffers of Children's Hospital and the ACLU's domestic violence unit, but more than 3 months after she struck a $7 million settlement ... she hasn't given them a dime ... TMZ has learned.

Heard and Johnny Depp struck a deal in mid-August, in which he agreed to pay her $7 million. Just after the settlement she said she would give all the money to the 2 orgs. Depp then said he would give the money directly to the 2 charities and actually sent the first installment of the settlement -- $200k -- in equal shares to Children's Hospital and the ACLU. Amber was furious.

We've now learned not a penny more has gone to either organization. As for why ... we're told Heard and Depp have not signed the final settlement documents so everything has now stalled. Our sources say the main hang-up is that Depp wants to pay the money directly to the charities but she wants the money sent to her. Heard does not want Depp to get a tax deduction.

Heard's lawyer, Pierce O'Donnell, tells TMZ he expects the settlement to be signed this week.

There appears to be another complication. Heard did a domestic violence PSA in which she all but said Johnny Depp abused her. Under the settlement she's prohibited from mentioning allegations about Depp. It's unclear if Depp will now honor the settlement. A source connected to Heard tells us, "She didn't disparage Johnny directly."

10:55 AM PT -- Heard's lawyer, Pierce O'Donnell, tells TMZ, "The settlement documents are being finalized and will be signed this week. Johnny is obligated by the settlement to pay Amber, and she in turn will honor her pledges to Children's Hospital and the ACLU."

O'Donnell also says Amber's PSA -- which pretty clearly refers to her relationship with Johnny -- doesn't violate their confidentiality agreement.

A guy named Alex Benedict is going after the rapper for failing to make his lease payments on a red 'rrari 488. In the docs, Benedict claims they agreed to a deal back in May but Tyga didn't pony up so he had the car repo'd TWICE.

The first time was Aug. 31, but Tyga struck another deal to get the car back (yes, really) and was supposed to return it Oct. 9. Benedict says Tyga failed to do that too, and the repo man went back to work on Nov. 8.

Benedict is suing to get at least $150k in damages. This might explain that umm ... birthday surprise.

We've reached out to Tyga, so far no word back.

Published | Updated

It was only a matter of time ... but now the hotel worker who claims he was brutally attacked by Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham is suing the NFL star.

As we previously reported, Bradham was arrested in July after allegedly beating the living crap out of a staffer at the Hilton Bentley in South Beach, Miami.

In his lawsuit, the staffer -- a 50-year-old Haitian man -- says he was setting up beach umbrellas for Bradham and his team when the NFL star got upset at what he perceived as "slow service."

The accuser claims Bradham socked him in the face for no reason and then "violently tackled [him] to the ground" where he continued to bash in the guy's face.

The accuser says he suffered major injuries -- including a concussion, cuts, back pain, a broken eye socket and a broken nose. He's already undergone 2 surgeries to fix the damage.

Bradham was later charged with felony battery and faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. He has pled not guilty in the criminal case.
