Bill Cosby Accuser Andrea Constand Takes Stand in Sexual Assault Trial

Published | Updated

Andrea Constand repeatedly choked up as she testified Bill Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her back in 2004.

She told the jury Cosby had given her 3 blue pills to relax ... herbal, so he allegedly said. But Constand testified 30 minutes later she was slurring with blurred vision ... her legs rubbery.

She says she was so out of it she couldn't fight him.

Constand testified for about an hour. During cross examination, Cosby's lawyers tried poking holes in Constand's story, pointing out inconsistencies in her story. The lawyers also confronted Constand, claiming she had 2 previous "sexual situations" with Cosby. She said they were merely suggested sexual situations.

Gloria Allred, who reps other women who claim they were also assaulted, looked on in the peanut gallery.

Milo Yiannopoulos Fan Sues UC Berkeley for $23 Mil ... Protesters Attacked Me!

Published | Updated

1:57 PM -- A spokesperson for the university tells TMZ it intends to vigorously defend its actions and it looks forward to "contesting this collection of false claims." The school adds, "We are confident that UCPD's actions will be vindicated against the plaintiff's uninformed allegations."

A Milo Yiannopoulos fan blames UC Berkeley for allowing protesters to attack her when she showed up to hear Milo's speech ... and now she wants the university to pay up.

Kiara Robles, a Berkeley student, says she showed up for the right-wing commentator's speech back in February, but it was canceled when protests erupted on campus. In docs, obtained by TMZ, she says 15 minutes after arriving ... she was attacked with "extremely painful pepper spray" by masked and unmasked assailants.

She claims there was zero police presence where the attack happened, and her attackers were able to escape.

Robles isn't just going after the university either. She's also suing Berkeley's president, chancellor, regents chair ... also the city's mayor, police chief, the California Democratic Party chairman and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi.

Robles accuses school officials of "willfully withholding police manpower" because they disagree with conservative viewpoints. As for how Pelosi's been dragged into this -- Robles says she's suing her for assault because Pelosi advocates "violence toward President Trump supporters."

Robles wants damages in excess of $23 million.

We've reached out to UC Berkeley and Pelosi's office, so far no word back.

Bizzy Bone Ordered to Quit Harassing Ex After She Claims Abuse

Published | Updated

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's Bizzy Bone is being accused of physically abusing and repeatedly harassing his now ex-fiancee, and she's gone to court to get protection.

Ranna Royce says back when she and Bizzy were still engaged, in September 2016, he attacked her in their NYC home. In court docs, Royce says Bizzy "strangled me and head butted me. I fell to the ground." She says she was afraid to report it to police.

Bizzy and Ranna ended their engagement in October ... but she says this past weekend he started contacting her again with harassing text messages -- saying he knew where she lived and he could track her down.

Ranna says she blocked his number, and filed a report with NYPD.

A rep for Bizzy tells us all claims made by Ranna are false ... he never once abused her or sent harassing texts. Bizzy believes the only reason she's making the allegations is because she's upset he's moved on with his life.

Kodak Black is a free man after completing a voluntary life skills course behind bars that made him eligible for early release.

Kodak was released Monday morning from Broward County Jail after serving 97 days of a 364 day sentence for violating house arrest. He's now back on house arrest for another year. He'll need to request permission from his probation officer and court if he wants to travel anywhere for work, even inside Florida.
