Charlie Sheen 'Winning' Tip from Judge Stop 'Slut-Shaming' in HIV Lawsuit

Published | Updated

Charlie Sheen may have just scored a small victory in his HIV suit, but didn't win any points with the judge ... who flat-out calls his lawyer a misogynistic jerk.

According to new legal docs -- obtained by TMZ -- the woman suing Sheen for exposing her to HIV has been ordered to take her dispute with him to arbitration. The judge ruled the NDA she admitted to signing holds up, so Sheen's "hopes of 'Winning!'" this battle were justified.

However, the judge scolds Sheen's legal team for needlessly "slut-shaming" the woman -- who's suing as Jane Doe -- saying his behavior "wins no favor with this Court."

We broke the story ... Sheen called the plaintiff a "professional hooker party girl," and claimed she knew about his HIV status the moment they met. She claims she was intimidated into signing the NDA ... but, Sheen called BS and said she was happy to hang out with him.

In the end, the judge sided with Sheen -- at least on moving the case to arbitration.

Cardi B Ex-Mgr Tried to Get Between Offset and Me ... Sues Him for $15 Million

Published | Updated

7/9 -- A rep for Shaft tells us, "The facts are simple - Cardi B’s music, image, and rise to superstardom were all developed and executed by Shaft and his team of writers and producers. The outright lies and distortions in her claims make you shake your head."

The statement continues, "This is just more of the same campaign by Cardi B and her team to defame and injure Shaft, the one person who saw promise in her, invested time and resources in her, and succeeded in making her rich and famous."

As for Shaft controlling who Cardi could and couldn't date -- a source close to Shaft tells us Offset charged Cardi $50K just to work on her single "Lick" -- a large chunk of change considering he first allegedly told her it would only be $25K.

Cardi B is going after the ex-manager who sued her for $10 million ... and claims he was way too controlling of her career and her personal life ... including her relationship with Offset.

Cardi filed her countersuit Thursday in federal court, and in the docs she says Shaft set up a management deal with her that she considers far too one-sided. According to the suit, Shaft got a 20% commission, but tried to bag even more dough off her Sony music publishing deal. Cardi says he demanded 50% of that deal!

She claims Shaft also tried to control every aspect of her life -- putting "barriers between her and people close to her in an effort to maintain complete control over her." In the suit, she says that bled over into her dating life, with Shaft telling her "who she should and should not see romantically."

As we reported, Shaft sued Cardi back in April claiming he made her a star and she cut him off financially.

Cardi's suing Shaft for more than $15 million.

Janoris Jenkins Breaks Silence On Murder at His Home ... 'Hurts My Heart'

Published | Updated

NY Giants star Janoris Jenkins says the man who was killed at his New Jersey home was a "good friend" -- and it "hurts my heart to know that he's passed."

TMZ Sports broke the story ... officials found a dead body in Jenkins' basement on June 26. The body was identified as music producer Roosevelt Rene, aka Trypps Beats.

Janoris' brother William Jenkins has been charged with aggravated manslaughter in connection to the death.

Now, Janoris is speaking out, saying, "With regret and sadness I wish to inform the fans, and the public a good friend of mine Roosevelt Rene a.k.a. Trypps Beats was found dead at my place of residence."

"Trypps was a good friend and we were collaborating on music production together. It truly hurts my heart to know he has passed away."

"At the time of the incident I was in Florida preparing to finish off my promotional tour. As this is an ongoing incident, I cannot answer any questions related to the investigation."

Rodney King Beating Cop Stacey Koon Charged with DUI

Published | Updated

Stacey Koon -- the former LAPD sergeant who went to prison for his role in the Rodney King beating -- has been charged with DUI ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us the L.A. County District Attorney's Office formally filed charges against Koon after he was arrested in May. He's facing 2 counts of misdemeanor DUI.

We broke the story ... Koon was busted after hitting a parked pickup truck. Cops who responded to the scene suspected he was under the influence of alcohol, and cited him on the spot. We're told his blood alcohol was almost twice the legal limit.

Koon was acquitted in the original King beating case -- which sparked riots in L.A. -- but was later found guilty in federal court for violating King's civil rights. He served 30 months in prison.

If convicted now, Koon faces a max of 6 months in jail and a $1,000 fine -- but, that's unlikely because he's a first time DUI offender.

Heather Locklear EMT She Allegedly Attacked Lawyers Up

Published | Updated

Heather Locklear may have to answer for her alleged drunken attack on a paramedic -- and not just in criminal court -- because we've learned the EMT's hired a lawyer.

Sources connected to the case tell TMZ ... the EMT who Heather allegedly kicked during her most recent dustup late last month claims to have suffered serious injury during the ordeal. The EMT has hired personal injury lawyer Kevin Flahavan.

We broke the story ... Heather was arrested for 2 counts of misdemeanor battery upon an officer and emergency personnel while authorities tried separating her from family members. Law enforcement sources told us she punched a cop, and kicked an EMT.

We're told the EMT has been reassigned to desk duty as a result of injuries to her head and neck. Apparently the injuries make paramedic work all but impossible ... at least for now.

Our sources say the EMT not only wants money for medical bills and pain and suffering ... but also some cash for emotional abuse after allegedly being verbally abused by Heather.

We reached out to Flahavan about the incident, who refused to comment beyond saying his only concern was his client's health and well-being.

"I win if he don't cheat," Diaz said ... "If he don't miss weight like he did last time."

Published | Updated

Paris Jackson went running to a judge for court-ordered protection against a guy she claims has been stalking her.

In court docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Michael Jackson's only daughter says a man named Nicholas Lewis Stevens showed up at a recording studio she was working at in June. Paris had a brief interaction with Lewis, who allegedly told her he'd stopped by the studio on multiple occasions ... once waiting for 15 hours for her.

According to the docs, Paris' friend also confronted Lewis, asking why he was there, to which he replied, "What the f*** does it look like I'm doing here? I'm stalking your bitch." The cops were called and they detained Lewis after he allegedly told Paris, "By midnight it will all be over ... the way it ends is with her or with a shotgun."

The docs say Lewis tweeted at Paris too, saying they were soulmates.

A judge sided with Paris and granted her a temporary restraining order. Lewis was ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from her and cut any type of communication until a hearing later this month.

Justin Bieber Dodges Arrest Warrant ... For Skipping Egging Depo

Published | Updated

Justin Bieber just avoided the wrath of the law -- for now -- dodging a potential bench warrant for his arrest.

According to the court clerk, a judge refrained from issuing the bench warrant Tuesday in L.A. making it likely that JB and his former neighbor, Jeffrey Schwartz, have finally agreed on a new date for Justin to sit for a deposition about the 2014 egging incident.

We broke the story ... Justin missed his deposition on June 22, and Schwartz said it was because the pop star was canoodling with Hailey Baldwin in New York. The couple's been back and forth between the Coasts for well over a week now, and were East as recently as Monday.

As for things getting this far in the first place, Bieber's legal team told us they'd tried rescheduling with Schwartz ... but that he ran off to court before attempting to work something out.

Ya gotta imagine it'll suck when Bieber does eventually come face-to-face with lawyers, especially after such a swoon-worthy time with his gal in the Big Apple. Back to reality, we suppose ...

'The Doctors' Dr. Ordon Sued for Assault ... You Did My Boobs without Consent!!

Published | Updated

Dr. Andrew Ordon -- one of the stars of "The Doctors" -- botched a woman's boob job by filling her chest with large implants she insisted she didn't want ... according to a new suit.

A California woman says she contacted Ordon in 2016 about correcting an uneven left breast, and they agreed a "fat transfer" was the best option. According to the suit, she scheduled the surgery, but then Dr. Ordon tried to upsell her on new implants by saying it would make her breasts look "happier." She says she declined.

The woman says she was shocked and upset when she woke up in recovery and discovered Dr. Ordon had inserted the implants without her knowledge or consent. In the suit, she says Ordon assured her that she and her husband would be happier.

No dice, she says. Instead, she had complications and had to find a new surgeon to remove the implants "to correct bleeding within the breast capsule" ... according to the suit.

Dr. Ordon's being sued for assault and battery and infliction of emotional distress, and she wants her medical expenses covered.

We reached out to Dr. Ordon and were told in accordance with HIPAA, he never comments on any patient's care.
