CELEBRITY JUSTICE ™

Three wrestlers have sued the WWE on behalf of all current and former wrestlers who have suffered serious brain and other damage as a result of "egregious mistreatment" by the organization.

Big Russ McCullough, Ryan Sakoda and Luther Reigns (obvious stage names) claim the WWE has known for years ... the brutality in the ring has resulted in dementia, Alzheimer's disease and a lot more.

The lawsuit -- obtained by TMZ -- claims the WWE, "under the guise of providing 'entertainment' .... has for decades subjected its wrestlers to extreme physical brutality."

The suit acknowledges wrestling is scripted but nonetheless unrelentingly brutal, claiming "WWE is in the business of selling violence."

The legal docs chronicle various matches in which wrestlers were destroyed. It mentions the 2014 Royal Rumble, in which one wrestler "demolished another with a series of brutal steel chair attacks," and the docs refer to "the carnage created by the match's victor."

The lawsuit gives an interesting inside look into wrestling, saying the goal of the WWE is to elicit "heat," meaning heightened violence with the use of various props, including chairs, ladders and tables. The suit singles out various moves, including the Brain Buster, Bulldog, Cobra Clutch Slam, Facebreaker, Jawbreaker and Powerslam. It singles out the chair shots to the head, which was banned in 2010.

The suit claims, "The WWE coerces its wrestlers to work while they are injured by, among other methods, threatening to strip them of their position within the organization if they refuse." It says they are "universally encouraged to 'wrestle through the pain.'"

And the lawsuit mentions Chris Benoit, who was "routinely hit in the head with a chair." Benoit, who killed his wife and son along with himself, was autopsied after his death. A doctor concluded Benoit's brain was so damaged from CTE, it "resembled the brain of an 85-year-old Alzheimer's patient."

Meek Mill has driven his car dealer mad ... mad enough to sic his lawyers on him and demand $250k for slamming his business.

According to the demand letter sent out by Euro Motor Sport, Inc. in Fort Lauderdale ... Meek wreaked havoc on his biz with an Instagram last week. The post showed a sweet Lambo Aventador, but included the caption, "Make sure you never buy no cars from #eurosports selling expensive cars with salvaged tittles."

Grammar and spelling aside ... the dealer says Meek's IG post is ruining its reputation -- especially with celebrity clients. They point out Rick Ross even reposted Meek's message.

According to Euro Sports owner Gene Morales the beef started when Meek's manager went to pick up a Rolls Royce Ghost ... but still owed $15k on the $200k whip. Things got heated when Morales refused to hand over the keys without payment, and he ended up calling cops.

Cooler heads prevailed though when Morales struck a deal ... agreeing to hand off the car for a mere $8,000. You'd think Meek would have been happy, but he still bitched on IG.

Now, Morales wants the quarter of a million bucks to cover the damage to his rep, and he wants Meek to delete the Instagram and apologize. If not ... Meek could be facing his second lawsuit in recent days.

Thabo Sefolosha's lawyer tells TMZ Sports ... the video of his client's arrest proves what Thabo has said all along -- he did NOTHING wrong.

We spoke with attorney Alex Spiro who tells us, "I fully expect this case to be dismissed. The video speaks for itself."

Of course, the video shows Sefolosha in a violent clash with 6 NYPD officers early Wednesday morning ... following the Chris Copeland stabbing.

Cops say Thabo was being aggressive toward police during the encounter and that's why things turned physical.

Sefolosha says B.S. -- and has vowed to fight the charges.

Gwen Stefani has a fan so obsessed, he threatened to kill himself because he couldn't bear looking at photos showing her tripping.

Gwen just snagged a 3-year restraining order against Richard Portnoy -- the guy who showed up recently at her acupuncturist's office to catch her walking in.

But according to Gwen, Portnoy's done a lot more to scare and annoy her. He's shown up at her home on numerous occasions with flowers, candy, cards and letters.

According to the testimony, Portnoy wrote her a letter saying he had concluded she wasn't happy in her present life and he felt he could change that.

Portnoy is rich ... he lives in a gated community and drives expensive cars, including a Porsche and a Mercedes.

As for the tripping incident, Portnoy showed up at Gwen's doorstep, saw her dad and told him he had seen photos of her tripping, adding, if she was hurt, he didn't know if he could go on living.

Chris Copeland's girlfriend might have saved his life -- seconds after he was stabbed outside an NYC nightclub ... she jumped to his rescue by attacking the alleged stabber ... TMZ Sports has learned.

According to police docs obtained by TMZ Sports ... Chris' gf, Katrine Saltara, told cops she "jumped on the defendant in an effort to protect" Chris -- and in the process she ended up getting cut several times.

The suspect, Shevoy Bleary, appeared in a Manhattan court on Thursday ... and was charged with 3 counts of assault and 2 counts of possession of a weapon. His bail was set at $20k.

In addition to Chris and Katrine ... Bleary also allegedly slashed a woman identified as a friend who was "with him" when the argument with Copeland turned physical. She had to get 22 stitches in her abdomen.

As for Copeland's injuries ... his diaphragm was punctured during the stabbing, and he's recovering after surgery.

A terrified Sandra Bullock feared for her life as she came face-to-face with her alleged stalker ... and an L.A. courtroom heard it all unfold Thursday as prosecutors played the disturbing 911 audio in court.

A judge heard the frantic call Bullock made to police as she hid in her closet from the man she claims stalked her and broke into her home. During the call, Sandra says she saw "the guy go upstairs into my attic."

A clearly terrified Sandra wonders how long it will be before officers arrive ... asking the operator, "Are they close?"

As we previously reported ... in June 2014, Joshua Corbett was charged with forcing his way into Bullock's house while she was inside ... cops later found an extensive weapons arsenal at his home that included assault rifles and machine guns.

Corbett was handcuffed in court while the tape was played. He's facing 19 felony counts including first degree burglary, stalking, and possession of a machine gun.

DMX believes the forces of evil are hard at work to take him down ... but he's not worried one bit ... because he's got God on his side and a lawyer who says he isn't a gun-toting thief.

X has admitted all along, he was at the gas station but he denies robbing anyone. He says he has no idea what the New Jersey man accusing him of holding him up at a gas station for $3,200 earlier this week is talking about, but he believes these kinds of charges just come with the territory.

We're not sure if his logic about his innocence would hold up in a courtroom, but it still sounds pretty good to us.

As for the people trying to tear him down ... X quotes Scripture and says they're gonna need to bring in the big guns.

Tom Cruise underwrites so much of Scientology, people connected with the Church root for the success of his movies, even when they suck.

P.I. Daniel Powell, who claims to have been hired by the Church to tail the father of Scientology leader David Miscavige, joked with cops ... Tom was the biggest moneymaker by far in the Church.

In fact, Powell wisecracks that Tom is probably paying the $10k a week salary to keep tabs on and harass Ronald Miscavige.

Meek Mill threw a rager for 1,000 people on Grammy weekend -- in one of the most baller mansions in Beverly Hills -- only problem is, he ignored the landlord's strict rule: NO PARTIES! So now he's getting sued.

TMZ broke the story ... Meek's huge bash in the famous glass mansion ended when a fight broke out, and all the guests poured into the street. It took cops hours to clear the neighborhood. No one was arrested, but Meek got in big trouble with the landlord.

According to the lawsuit ... when Meek and his people signed a week-long lease ... the management company warned them, "not to think about having the Grammy party" on the premises. In fact, the landlord says the lease limited Meek to no more than SIX people on the property.

In the docs, the landlord says the place was left trashed with broken furniture, broken glass, destroyed landscaping -- and even a broken trampoline. You know it's a party if you wreck a tramp, bruh.

The landlord's suing Meek for breaking the lease, for damages, and for roughly 994 people trespassing.

Two Atlanta Hawks basketball players claim allegations they got in the way of a police investigation at the scene of an NYC stabbing are UNTRUE ... and they vow to fight the charges in court.

As we previously reported, Thabo Sefolosha and Pero Antic were arrested near 1Oak nightclub after Indiana Pacers player Chris Copeland was stabbed in an early morning attack.

Cops say Pero and Thabo obstructed police from investigating the crime scene -- and were acting disorderly when asked to get out of the way. Cops also say Thabo resisted arrest and it took several officers to take him into custody.

But now, the players have issued a joint statement calling BS on the NYPD ... saying, "We will contest these charges and look forward to communicating the facts of the situation at the appropriate time."

They continued, "As members of the Atlanta Hawks, we hold ourselves to a high standard and take our roles as professionals very seriously."

Rich Homie Quan is in custody now after surrendering to cops for allegedly brutalizing a nightclub bouncer.

Quan showed up at the Miami Beach PD Wednesday afternoon for booking on misdemeanor battery.

As TMZ previously reported, a security guard at LIV nightclub in Miami claimed RHQ and a few his boys beat him down after they were denied VIP entry into the club. The guard says before he got punched Quan screamed, "I'm Rich Homie Quan and I'm a rich millionaire, bitch."

Cops say Quan fled the scene, jumped on a nearby speedboat and took off. Quan says he was actually on a yacht the entire time, claiming the allegations are bogus.

Suge Knight appeared in court Wednesday and told the judge Sheriff's deputies were forcing him into a wheelchair to create a public spectacle and embarrass him.

Suge's lawyer, Matt Fletcher, went even further, saying the authorities were doing this to make it look like a scene out of "Silence of the Lambs."

The judge told Suge he was informed by deputies the wheelchair was necessary because Suge told them he was partially paralyzed but Suge denied ever saying that. The judge then made it clear Suge was free to walk on his own power.

As for the hearing ... nothing happened. The case was continued.

Bill Cosby may have admitted under oath to sexually assaulting women ... at least that's what one alleged victim believes and is now trying to unearth documents to prove it.

Tamara Green claims Cosby drugged and groped her back in the '70s. The statute of limitations has long since run, but Green sued Cosby last December for defamation because he repeatedly said she was lying -- that it never happened.

Green has filed new legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- in which she is trying to force Cosby to release his deposition in a lawsuit filed by another accuser -- Andrea Constand. She sued Cosby in 2005 and the case settled. The docs were all sealed.

Green believes Cosby may have admitted in his deposition to sexually assaulting other women, including Green herself.

We reached out to Cosby's rep ... so far no comment.

Robert Durst was indicted on two gun charges in Louisiana Thursday morning -- and it means his murder case in California's getting pushed to the back burner.

Durst was charged with illegal possession of a firearm by a felon ... and for having the gun in the presence of a controlled substance. The FBI and cops say he had a loaded gun and marijuana when he was arrested in a New Orleans hotel room last month.

The star of HBO's "The Jinx" documentary was ordered held without bail -- and his extradition to Cali is now on hold indefinitely.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West must be stopped at the Florida border, because they're nothing but wannabe Jay Z's and Beyonce's ... according to a prisoner who has taken his cause to court.

Wayne Albright -- who's been locked up since 2000 for attempted sexual assault -- claims Florida needs protection from the couple he calls "Meat Whistles" and "Moose Knuckles."

Albright shows abject contempt for the famous duo, declaring the only tolerable Kardashian is Rob, who's "eating himself out of house and home, no doubt from the shame he feels as a result of what Kim has done to the Kardashian name."

The prisoner is specifically targeting Kim and Kanye from stepping foot in Florida, and he wants to "ban these two Moose Knuckles from appearing on any television programs aired in the state of Florida, unless it's Court TV and they're on trial for posing as a famous couple."

A random guy claims Sam Smith stole his hit song "Stay with Me" right out from under him, but using the guy's logic, he ripped off The Supremes.

Mark Halper claims in a new lawsuit ... he cut a demo in 1986 of a song called "Don't Throw Our Love Away." He says it begins with the "phraseology and significant phrase, 'stay with me.'"

Ergo ... Halper believes Sam Smith -- who uses the phrase "stay with me" 8 times in his hit -- has ripped him off.

So how's this for a little music history. In 1964, The Supremes recorded their massive hit, "Baby Love." In the song, Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard repeatedly sing, "don't throw our love away." Therefore, The Supremes own Mark Halper.

As for Halper's lawsuit, he's not going after Smith. He's suing several record labels. Among the things he wants ... a recommendation to the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences to acknowledge him with a Grammy.
