Published | Updated

7:00 PM PT -- DJ Suede's clapped back online, saying without the song he made Danielle wouldn't even be doing music. He says ... "My team/lawyer already read y'all the contract several times for months and we have EVERYTHING on paper! HOW BOUT DAT," and added ... "Smh lol 15 minutes went by pretty fast huh."

Danielle Bregoli's mom is going after DJ Suede in court for allegedly screwing Danielle on a deal ... all because Danielle turned him down to be her DJ.

According to the docs ... she was supposed to get half of the profits from the song as part of the deal. But she says Suede turned sour after she turned down his offer to be her tour DJ ... and claims he went on a warpath to defraud her after.

According to the suit ... the track's earned at least $250k in profits ... and she's suing Suede to get her cut.

Weinstein, Toback, Ratner Cases Almost Ready for D.A. Review

Published | Updated

LAPD detectives will be sitting down with the L.A. County District Attorney next month to go over a huge number of files involving alleged sexual misconduct ... and there are 3 famous people who will be at the top of the pile based on the number of complaints ... Harvey Weinstein, James Toback and Brett Ratner.

Sources familiar with the investigation tell TMZ the LAPD's Sexual Assault Section is now "winding down" its investigation, but there are still some interviews that have not been conducted and reports to write.

One law enforcement source tells us detectives are stunned that they were able to get statements from some of the people accused of sexual misconduct. Turns out early on -- before some of the suspects got criminal defense lawyers -- their entertainment lawyers drafted statements signed by their clients denying the claims.

One law enforcement source put it this way ... "These [entertainment] lawyers cared more about image than jail. They should have never let their clients talk."

That said ... our sources reiterate most of the cases involve 1 on 1 situations ... meaning there are only 2 people involved and without witnesses these cases are hard to prosecute.

Down the road ... we've learned one of the cases at the Beverly Hills PD involves a man who met a woman, they dated, married and divorced. She now claims he raped her on the first date. A law enforcement source called the case "problematic."

Nelly Alleged Rape Case Evidence Released

Published | Updated

All the evidence gathered in Nelly's alleged rape case has been released ... including surveillance videos and photos from the night of his arrest.

As we first reported ... Auburn PD, in Washington State, completed its investigation last month, and prosecutors dropped the case -- primarily because the alleged victim refused to testify. Now that the criminal case is closed ... cops are revealing these photos and videos gathered during the investigation.

The evidence includes surveillance videos -- showing Nelly and the accuser, Monique Greene, leaving the Seattle nightclub where they met, getting on his tour bus ... and also the moment when she leaves the bus and calls police to report the alleged rape.

SURVEILLANCE VIDEOS

TMZ broke the story ... Greene has filed a lawsuit against Nelly for sexual assault and defamation. Nelly has vowed to sue her, although he's yet to file.

The police docs include Nelly and Greene's versions of what went down on the bus, and they're vastly different. Nelly told police their sex -- oral and vaginal -- was consensual, and Greene had removed her own clothing. He says he did not use a condom, but also said he did not ejaculate. He claimed Greene only got upset because she thought he was involved with one of his dancers, who was also on the bus at the time.

Greene told police Nelly forcefully removed her pants and threw her onto the bed, and said, "You're gonna take this d**k." She says he repeatedly told her during the intercourse, "That's my p***y." She says the forcible sex lasted for 30 minutes, and she believed he had ejaculated inside her, and also on her backside and front.

Greene says Nelly offered her $2,500 and asked her to stay on the bus until their next destination -- but she told him she's not a prostitute. She claims someone else pushed her off the bus, and Nelly threw a $100 bill at her.

For what it's worth, Nelly says he handed her the hundo.

Harvey Weinstein Ex-Wife Claims He's Crying Poverty ... Can't Pay Child Support

Published | Updated

Harvey Weinstein's low on cash flow, so he's telling his ex-wife he can't afford to pay child support for a year ... maybe more ... according to her, anyway.

Eve Chilton made the claim in docs submitted when she tried to get a one-time advance payment to cover $5 million in child support Weinstein still owes for their 3 daughters. The judge denied that request, citing Weinstein's track record of not missing any previous payments.

As we reported ... Chilton, who divorced Weinstein in 2004, was worried their daughters wouldn't get the money because Weinstein was using it to fight numerous lawsuits.

The timing's interesting here -- Weinstein just reached a divorce settlement this week with his most recent ex-wife, Georgina Chapman ... reportedly in the $15 to $20 million range.

He'll still have to make regular child support payments, as scheduled, to Chilton.

Chris Brown Monkey Business Could Get Him Prosecuted

Published | Updated

Chris Brown got himself a pet monkey -- but never got a permit to keep her -- so now he's sans monkey and could face criminal charges ... TMZ has learned.

As we reported ... CB took heat last month after posting a pic of his 3-year-old daughter Royalty holding the baby capuchin monkey named Fiji, because people thought it was a danger to her and belongs in the wild. Chris told everyone to chill.

According to law enforcement ... several folks notified the California Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, who opened an investigation.

Turns out Chris never got a permit for the exotic pet, so authorities got a search warrant but before Chris' house got raided, he voluntarily agreed to surrender the animal.

According to our sources ... CB could be charged with having a restricted species without a permit, a misdemeanor, that carries a maximum of 6 months in jail. The case has been turned over to the L.A. City Attorney.

Chris' lawyer, Mark Geragos, tells TMZ, "As I leave my office in Downtown L.A. and walk past people sleeping on the street on my way to defend people charged by the City Attorney with selling medical marijuana ... now spending taxpayer money on investigating monkey business, this completes the circle on his absurdity."

As for Fiji ... she's fine.

Donald Trump 'Stable Genius' Is a Merch Windfall

Published | Updated

The true "stable genius" might not be President Trump ... instead it's the people cashing in on 45's latest catchphrase.

According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, 3 people have already applied for rights to slap "stable genius" all over apparel. Problem is ... only one can own the rights to put it on clothes.

We spoke to Jeremy Joseph, the second guy to submit his application, who told us he jumped at the chance because he thought Trump's "unintended irony" could be a powerful statement.

The USPTO handles applications on a first-come, first-serve basis, so Jeremy might be S.O.L. if the applicant before him is approved. The third applicant wants a "stable genius covfefe" trademark for a coffee line ... so he's not competing with the other 2.

May the most stablest genius win.

SHOWIN' OFF THE SCOOTER

Jean Paul takes a swipe at Ray in the lawsuit, saying Ray "arguably maintains a certain level of celebrity" that would be useful in hawking the scooter. He says they agreed that Ray would become an investor and celebrity endorser and that was enough for Jean Paul to start the business.

He says he was shocked to learn Ray secretly launched a competing business to ace Jean Paul out ... thus the $30 million lawsuit, filed by his attorney, Sarah Cabarcas-Osman from the Berman Law Group.

We reached out to Ray's rep ... so far no word back.

Lakers Pull Offer to Jamil Wilson ... After STD Lawsuit

The L.A. Lakers have backed out of plans to ink a 10-day contract with Jamil Wilson in the wake of a sexual battery lawsuit in which the player is accused of giving a woman herpes.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... the woman claims she's been diagnosed with herpes simplex 2 and believes Wilson gave it to her during unprotected sexual encounters. She believes he knew he was a carrier but concealed it from her in order to gain consent.

The Lakers had reportedly planned on signing Wilson on Wednesday ... but according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the team is hitting the brakes. Woj says the team isn't ruling out signing Wilson somewhere down the line.

Wilson's agent, Steve McCaskill, told ESPN the player plans on taking legal action of his own.

"Jamil has been irreparably harmed by the recent accusation which has now resulted in damage to his NBA career. We will not tolerate these false accusations, but will pursue all legal remedies with the full force of the law."
