Mohamed Hadid Sued Tear Down Your Mega-Mansion!!! It's an Illegal Disaster Zone

Published | Updated

Mohamed Hadid is still living large on a precarious Bel-Air hill, exposing his neighbors to a disaster -- even after the city ordered him to partially tear it down ... according to his furious neighbors.

Four of them are suing Gigi and Bella Hadid's dad for not following through with the terms of his plea deal. The city cracked down on Mohamed in 2015 over his so-called 'Starship Enterprise' mega-mansion, which was illegally built out to 30,000 sq. feet.

Prosecutors charged him, and he ended up pleading no contest ... and getting 3 years probation, community service and fines. He also agreed to hire an engineer to create a plan to stabilize the hillside because neighbors were freaking out about possible mudslides.

In the lawsuit, the 4 neighbors say the city hasn't done any follow-up to reduce the ginormous pad's footprint.

They want a judge to enforce the plea deal ... which required demolition of part of the mansion. They also want the hillside shored up, so they don't get buried.

Published | Updated

Will.i.am's company is ageist, according to his former chef who says she got canned purely because she's over 40.

In her suit, Bailey says will.i.am straight-up violated the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967.

We've reached out to will.i.am, so far no word back.

Pulse Nightclub Shooting Victims Sue City of Orlando ... Cops Left Us to Die

Published | Updated

Survivors and families of victims in the Pulse Nightclub shooting are going after the city of Orlando, claiming police officers didn't come to their rescue fast enough.

During the 2016 massacre, Omar Mateen shot and killed 49 people -- and in the lawsuit, the plaintiffs say Officer Adam Gruler was assigned to work security at Pulse, but had abandoned his post when Mateen arrived at the club. They claim the shooter only armed himself, and opened fire, after seeing there was no police presence.

According to the suit, the cops didn't enter the club until 3 hours after Mateen started shooting -- and by that time 49 were dead and 53 others injured. The plaintiffs say the Orlando cops were "not adequately trained" by the city.

In the suit, they say the "indifference" of the police force to clubgoers' health and safety led to the casualties.

They're suing the city, Officer Gruler and 30 other officers, listed as John Does.

'Bad Moms' Producer Sued You Jacked Our Idea!!!

Published | Updated

6/8 -- An attorney for Suzanne Todd tells TMZ, "We've reviewed the complaint filed against Ms. Todd. The claim is ridiculous and will be defeated in court."

"Bad Moms" producer Suzanne Todd pulled a super bad move by straight-up stealing parts of the script from a popular series of books ... or so claim the coauthors of those books.

Amy Nobile and Trisha Ashworth say they pioneered the literary genre of comedic openness about motherhood. They're suing Suzanne claiming she worked with them for 3 years and then ran off with their plot ideas and character sketches to make "Bad Moms."

According to docs, obtained by TMZ, the authors were contacted by Todd in 2008 about working together and over the years they shared concepts in private meetings and emails ... always with the understanding they were working together to develop a film or TV show.

The authors say they were shocked to see "Bad Moms" premiere in 2016, chock-full of their ideas. The movie grossed more than $180 million worldwide, and spawned a sequel ... "A Bad Moms Christmas" and the spinoff, "Bad Dads."

Nobile and Ashworth are suing for a cut of the profits and other damages. We've reached out to Todd ... so far, no word back.

Hope Solo Wants to Sue After Dom. Violence Case Dropped

Published | Updated

Hope Solo says she's still furious after her domestic violence case was dropped -- claiming the whole ordeal damaged her personal life and career ... and she wants someone to pay.

Solo was arrested back in 2014 and charged with 2 counts of assault after allegedly beating up family members at a home in Kirkland, Washington. Cops said Solo appeared wasted and she went on a tirade, cussing out officers.

The case had been dismissed back in 2015 on procedural grounds, but prosecutors appealed and the decision was reversed.

But now, officials say key witnesses stopped cooperating and prosecutors felt Solo was unlikely to attack a family member again ... so they dropped the case.

Solo has now issued a statement saying, "I always knew this day would come but I never imagined it would take nearly four years."

"Any sense of relief and gratification is matched by frustration and disbelief knowing the great lengths the City of Kirkland and all involved went to in order to further their own interests. "

"The harm caused to me, my family and my career has been immeasurable and I intend to explore any and all legal remedies to hold those with no regard for the truth, fully accountable."

"Despite the negligence and the errant motivations of the prosecution, these four years have been a testament to my personal resolve. I remained focused on creating positive change around things I care most about with people who truly know and support me."

THE CRAZY FOOTAGE

TMZ Sports has obtained police body cam footage from Branden Albert's arrest -- when he was hit with a taser TWICE as he barreled his way out of a jewelry store back in February.

We broke the story ... the Pro Bowl offensive tackle was arrested for assault in Georgia when he allegedly flipped out at Icebox Jewelry, punching a hole in the wall and threatening the owner.

When cops arrived, Albert -- 6'5", 315 pounds -- allegedly tried to push his way out of the store and leave ... and that's when an officer drew his taser and fired.

You can see the prongs hit Albert and you can hear taser fire -- Albert drops to the ground.

But cops say he PULLED OUT THE PRONGS and got back up. According to the police report, an officer then tackled Albert to the ground.

Eventually, Albert is taken into custody -- but he's out of breath and disoriented.

Albert is due back in court later this month to face two felony charges -- 2nd degree criminal damages and willful obstruction of a law officer.

E-40 Warns Author ... There's Only One 'Captain Save A Hoe'

Published | Updated

E-40 says an author ripped off his hit '90s song and slapped it on a novel, but he's giving the writer one chance to save himself from a 'Save a Hoe' lawsuit.

The rapper fired off a cease and desist letter to novelist, CJ Allen over his book, "Captain Save A Hoe." In the letter, E-40 says he has a trademark on his 1993 track, which covers merch, services and, most importantly, publications ... like "novel books in the fields of urban fiction."

Forty Fonzarelli says Allen's book infringes on his song's copyrights and confuses fans. According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, a lawsuit will be filed if Allen doesn't scrap the novel and provide a full accounting of all money made off it.

We found out the author's currently in prison, but his wife doesn't think E-40 has a case. She tells us readers won't confuse the book's heroine -- a sexy woman in a cape with an "S" -- with the main character in 40's music vid, a guy in a shirt and cape with a "C."

She also claims the rapper's causing her husband financial harm and stress ... beyond the normal prison variety, we're guessing.

E-40's actually sued author Erika Kane for this same thing, and that case recently settled.

Conrad Hilton Sentenced In Car Stealing Case

Published | Updated

Conrad Hilton was just formally sentenced in his grand theft auto case -- the same one in which he went off on a racist and homophobic rant.

Conrad was in L.A. County Court Wednesday where he pled no contest to 1 count of felony grant theft auto and 1 count of misdemeanor contempt of court. He was sentenced to 3 years probation and was ordered to continue with mental health and substance counseling.

Hilton violated a restraining order last year against E.G. Daily's daughter, after he allegedly stole her dad's car and drove over to her house. That led to a meltdown with cops.

Hilton was also ordered to stay away from Daily and family for the next 3 years.

As we reported ... Conrad was caught on camera in an incredibly racist and homophobic tirade against cops who arrested him at E.G.'s pad last spring. He screamed homophobic epithets, rape ... and the n-word. It was clear he wasn't well during this time.

You'll recall ... Conrad had initially pled not guilty in his criminal case, but had secured some much-needed professional help.

Stormy Daniels Sues Ex-Lawyer ... He Was a 'Puppet' for Trump & Cohen

Published | Updated

Stormy Daniels just sued her former attorney ... claiming he was in cahoots with President Trump's personal attorney, Michael Cohen, to get her to falsely deny she had an affair with Trump.

Stormy -- real name Stephanie Clifford -- filed docs Wednesday claiming Keith Davidson colluded with Cohen and hatched a plan to get her on Sean Hannity's show back in January.

The suit attached a series of texts Stormy says back her claims. In docs, obtained by TMZ, Cohen texted Davidson, "I have her tentatively scheduled for Hannity tonight." But, a few hours later ... Cohen texted Davidson, "The wise men all believe the story is dying and don't think it's smart for her to do any interviews." Davidson, according to docs, replied, "100%" ... with Cohen replying, "Thanks pal."

Stormy claims "wise men" is in reference to Trump, essentially alleging he knew Davidson and Cohen were communicating all along. Stormy also claims Davidson broke attorney-client privilege when he tipped off Cohen that she was about to get a new lawyer, Michael Avenatti, and announce in court she had an affair with Trump but signed an agreement to keep quiet about it in exchange for $130,000.

The suit alleges, "Mr. Davidson abdicated his role as an advocate and fiduciary of his client Ms. Clifford and instead elected to be a puppet for Mr. Cohen and Mr. Trump in order to advance their interests at the expense of Ms. Clifford."

Trump denies the affair.

She continues, "I hope to continue this important work by working together with organizations who have been fighting this fight for much longer than I have and deserve the recognition."

Kim Kardashian West's fight to free imprisoned grandmother Alice Marie Johnson is over -- President Trump has granted her clemency ... TMZ has learned.

Our sources tell us the Prez signed off on Wednesday, and Alice will soon be released from the Aliceville Correctional Facility in Alabama. We're told she's heading straight home to be with her family.

As we reported ... KKW met with Trump last week at the White House to talk prison reform and about Alice's case. She and her attorney, Shawn Holley, were working with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner for several months on Johnson's case.

Kanye's recent public support of Trump probably had some influence on 45's decision, as well.

The 63-year-old grandma's case became national news last year when Kim tweeted about it -- she was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 1997 on money laundering and drug conspiracy charges ... her first offenses.

Many expected Johnson to be released in December 2016 when Obama granted clemency to many similar nonviolent offenders ... but Alice was passed up. Not long after, Kim K started pushing hard to make it happen ... and Alice wrote her a heartfelt thank-you note.
