PATH TO RECOVERY

Tyrese Gibson was down in the dumps as he left Cedars-Sinai Thursday night, after checking himself in for chest pains and anxiety.

Tyrese says he's never been embroiled in a court case in his life, and Thursday's marathon hearing that pitted him against ex-wife Norma Gibson clearly took its toll.

Gibson is trying to get a permanent restraining order claiming Tyrese has used excessive force in disciplining their 10-year-old daughter, Shayla ... something Tyrese vehemently denies.

Tyrese smoked a stogie on a bench before his wife picked him up ... she's not into it.

Whatever it takes for a little relief.

Cardi B Sued Album Cover Model Says You Used Me & My Tattoos!!!

Published | Updated

The guy going down on Cardi B on her mixtape cover is pissed off because he claims he never posed for the photo, and never signed off on his image being used in such a sexual manner.

Cardi's "Gangsta Bitch Music Vol. 1" cover shows a shirtless guy, with very distinct back ink, performing oral sex on the rapper. Kevin Brophy says the image is 100% him, but he only found out about it when a friend said how crazy is it that you're "cunnilinging [sic] this rapper called Cardi B."

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, the artwork made for a seriously awkward moment when Brophy's pre-K son asked what Daddy was doing in the picture, and who's that girl? Brophy says his son keeps bringing it up, too.

In the docs, Brophy says he's never met Cardi or spoken to her or her people -- but he knows that's his distinct back art of a tiger battling a snake ... which he's had for 10 years.

He obviously knows who the "Bodak Yellow" rapper is now. Brophy's making a money move of his own ... suing Cardi and her managers for at least $5 million.

Tyrese Today was a Funeral ... For Accusations Against Me

Published | Updated

Tyrese believes there was a death in the courtroom Thursday ... and a figurative funeral was held for all the accusations about him being a bad dad.

We got Tyrese leaving the L.A. courthouse with his wife, Samantha Lee, and asked him about his all-black wardrobe -- a stark contrast from his all-white getup Tuesday -- and he waxed poetic ... saying it represents the "death of a dialogue" of abuse allegations that have followed him for years.

As we reported ... his ex-wife, Norma Gibson, took the stand Thursday to try to get a permanent restraining order against him for her and their daughter Shayla ... and claimed she's afraid of him at times.

Tyrese seems to think Norma's testimony is the last of it and he's ready to move on ... and he's doing everything for his only child, Shayla.

Published | Updated

Dana White absolutely UNLEASHED on the guy suing Michael Bisping for allegedly attacking him at the gym ... saying the dude is a "f**king p**sy" who talked trash and couldn't back it up.

The UFC honcho still hasn't talked to Bisping about the incident, but says he's pretty sure he knows how it went down.

"I’m sure it’s that typical f**king p**sy who opens his mouth at the f**king gym, and then Bisping goes over and -- I don’t know what Bisping did to him, but now he wants to f**king sue Bisping -- should have shut your f**king face in the first place."

"You’re a clown. Guys like that are a f**king embarrassment," White said on the RQMS Podcast.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... a man claims Bisping went nuclear on him for "taking his weights" at a 24 Hour Fitness in Anaheim back in July -- choking him and almost causing him to lose consciousness.

Now, he's suing the middleweight champ for assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and more.

Bisping responded to the allegations on Thursday, saying they are "completely inaccurate."

Michael Bisping Denies Gym Fight Allegations ...'Completely Inaccurate'

Published | Updated

Michael Bisping is calling BS on the man suing him for an alleged choke attack at an Anaheim gym ... saying the allegations are "completely inaccurate."

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Bisping is being sued by a man who claims the UFC champ flipped out at and strangled him during an argument over weights at a 24 Hour Fitness on July 31.

The man claims Bisping was the aggressor and severely injured his throat.

But moments ago, Bisping finally responded to the allegations -- saying, "It is completely inaccurate. It is not factual."

Bisping said the lawsuit will NOT distract him from his upcoming fight against Georges St-Pierre at UFC 217 ... saying, "I'm not losing any sleep over it whatsoever."

Tyrese Ex Claims He's Spying on Her ... She Fears Him at Times

Published | Updated

4:30 PM PT -- We're told during cross-examination, Tyrese's lawyer suggested Norma was dating a drug addict ... which is why Tyrese had a private investigator following her years ago. She denied it.

We're also told Tyrese began sobbing in the courtroom when he found out Norma wants to take their daughter to Israel for 3-4 days to meet Norma's grandma.

Tyrese's ex-wife says he has somebody following her and her friends to keep tabs on them ... and she's sometimes fearful of what he might do.

Norma Gibson's in court trying to get a permanent restraining order against Tyrese to keep him away from her and their 10-year-old daughter, Shayla. Norma took the stand Thursday and claimed Tyrese has been harassing her since 2014 after their custody evaluation by having someone tail her and her friends.

When Norma was asked if she's afraid of her ex, she replied ... "At times." She also brought up the 2007 incident where Tyrese allegedly punched her while she was pregnant, claiming 3 of Tyrese's people met with her afterward and got her to sign an agreement not to talk about it. She says she did it because she didn't want to ruin his career at the time.

Tyrese tells us this is all B.S., and the restraining order is sour grapes from him getting remarried. He claims he hasn't seen his daughter in over 60 days and just wants this resolved quickly so he can see her.

Norma has a temporary restraining order against Tyrese already, which she filed for claiming he abused their daughter. Norma claims he went into a rage, pushed Shayla to the ground, "grabbed her hands with one arm and beat her with the other" between 12 and 16 times. Norma says Tyrese hit Shayla so hard she couldn't sit. Tyrese says he only struck her once on her bottom.

The L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services is currently investigating.

Miles Teller In the Clear for Drunken Arrest

Published | Updated

Miles Teller won't face charges for public intoxication after getting busted in San Diego ... because cops did him a solid.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... police are not sending the case to the City Attorney, and they've tossed the whole matter. We're told it was a first-time offense, and there were no additional charges besides being drunk in public -- a misdemeanor -- so cops said ... all good.

As we reported ... Miles was arrested in June when cops said he was falling down drunk and refused to cooperate when they placed him in the drunk tank. Miles said there was no evidence to charge him with a crime.

Cops agreed, or maybe just agreed to let this one slide.

Case closed.

40 Glocc Pimpin' Ain't Easy And No Proof I Did It!!!

Published | Updated

40 Glocc insists there was no reason for him to get busted in a prostitution sting because even the alleged hooker says he's just a friend, and not a P-I-M-P.

40 got busted in February when cops in Minnesota spotted him fleeing the scene during a prostitution sting. Cops say he smashed multiple cell phones in the moments before they arrested him, but the rapper says that's hardly proof he was pimping.

In new docs, obtained by TMZ, 40 says the woman who got busted denied he was her pimp, and called him a travel buddy who had "no involvement in her actions." He also claims there's no proof his "friend" was really turning tricks.

Yes, she was naked and about to straddle an undercover officer -- but 40 says she could've been doing lots of things besides offering sex ... like a nude massage or erotic dance.

He does not cop to smashing the phones, btw -- but says IF he did, there are plenty of innocent reasons to do so. Not that he offers any examples.

Still, he's asking the judge to dismiss the charges.

Suge Knight Dismisses Suit Against Chris Brown ... After Threat

Published | Updated

Suge Knight got super scared recently ... scared enough to drop his lawsuit against Chris Brown like a hot potato ... TMZ has learned.

Suge had sued Chris over a shooting in 2014 at 1 OAK nightclub in WeHo. Suge was shot 7 times. He filed a lawsuit against 1 OAK and Chris, who was performing when shots rang out. Suge believed security was woefully lacking, which allowed the gunman to fire multiple shots.

We've learned Chris' lawyers from the law firm of Geragos & Geragos fired off a nasty letter to Suge and his legal team, saying Suge's case was a certain loser and when it was thrown out Chris would counterpunch with a malicious prosecution lawsuit.

That did the trick ... Suge dropped his lawsuit against Chris. Sources familiar with the dismissal tell us NO MONEY changed hands.

WHY I'M DOING THIS

We got Dominique and Jeff before the presser, where they explained why they were gunning for the company ... and he says they both believe board members knew about this behavior for decades, and enabled him behind the scenes.

During the presser, Jeff said he was very interested in taking Harvey's brother Bob Weinstein's deposition, as well as other TWC employees to see exactly who knew what and when. He also indicated that Harvey's work contract that allowed for sexual harassment could be a smoking gun in their case.

Jeff and Dominique believe facilitating Harvey's alleged sexual harassment and assault was part of the company culture ... and they're implying they'll be seeking millions in damages through their lawsuit.
