CELEBRITY JUSTICE ™

The lawyer who represents the judge in Meek Mill's case is going after Roc Nation and Amazon, claiming he was sabotaged during an interview about the rapper's sentence.

Charles Peruto has filed initial legal docs that will lead to a lawsuit against the 2 giants. Peruto represents Judge Genece Brinkley, who refused to spring Meek from prison, despite proof that the cop who was instrumental in his conviction turned out to be dirty.

As for the new lawsuit, Peruto did an interview for a documentary on the case, produced by Roc Nation -- which reps Meek -- and Amazon. At the end of the interview, the reporter asked Peruto if they could go off the record. They motioned to the cameraman to turn the camera off, and he pointed the cam at the wall. What they didn't know ... he left the camera on record, so it captured the audio.

That audio was then leaked, and you hear Peruto say Judge Brinkley looked "f***ing awful" and she should have freed Meek and granted him a new trial.

We've learned Peruto's lawsuit will be based on his belief that the audio was edited to make him look bad -- that he said toward the end that the judge followed the letter of the law, but that wasn't in the leaked audio.

Harvey Weinstein is seen getting handsy and flirting with a woman in a new video ... the same woman accusing him of rape.

In footage released Wednesday, Weinstein is seen hugging, touching and making suggestive comments during a business meeting in New York with Melissa Thompson. Thompson is a major player in the class action lawsuit against the fallen producer.

The clip starts with Weinstein entering the room and telling someone off camera not to interrupt ... he then closes and locks the door behind him.

Thompson is clearly uncomfortable throughout the video, at one point telling Weinstein his hands were moving too far up her leg.

In a lawsuit filed in June, Thompson alleged Weinstein raped her in a hotel the same day the video was shot.

Weinstein's attorney, Benjamin Brafman, tells us others have seen the full video ... and it tells a different story. Brafman says, "... the video, when viewed in its entirety, in context and not in select excerpts, demonstrates that there is nothing forceful, but casual – if not awkward – flirting from both parties."

The guy who robbed Marc Anthony blind for years just got slapped with a sentence that'll put him behind bars for at least a couple of years ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that Kyle Tessiero was sentenced to prison Wednesday in New York after pleading guilty back in June to first degree grand larceny. The judge gave him 2 to 6 years in a state prison. We're told prosecutors were pushing for 3 to 9.

Tessiero was also ordered to pay back $9.1 million to Marc. It's unclear if Anthony will file a civil suit to force Tessiero to pay up.

Vanilla Ice doesn't live with his estranged wife anymore, but she claims he should still pony up for desperately needed home repairs ... 'cause the HOA is breathing down her neck!!!

VI and Laura Van Winkle are in the middle of a divorce ... and she's asking the court to make Ice open his wallet and pay for repairs on the home they share in Florida -- according to legal docs obtained by TMZ.

Laura lives in the home with their daughter, and she says the HOA is PISSED they have a dirty or mildewed roof and no fence around their pool. The horror!!!

9/12 11:13 AM -- According to the divorce docs, obtained by TMZ, Fred says they split on July 31. He doesn't want to pay his ex spousal support.

4:00 PM -- Kseniya filed docs asking for spousal support.

The nookie days are apparently over for Fred Durst and his wife -- the 2 are getting divorced ... TMZ has learned.

The Limp Bizkit frontman filed for divorce from Kseniya Durst after about 6 years of marriage ... according to new legal docs filed Tuesday in L.A.

The ex-couple don't have any kids together.

We broke the story ... Fred and the Ukrainian makeup artist tied the knot back in 2012, but kept their nuptials secret for years. We got suspicious in June 2015 when we saw them out together and she was rocking a giant ring.

Richie Incognito says he didn't threaten to shoot ANYONE during a heated incident at an Arizona funeral home back in August ... but admits he "lost his cool" after his father's death.

As we previously reported, cops swarmed Messinger Mortuary on August 20 after staffers secretly called 911 and said Incognito had ordered them to "cut his dad's head off for research purposes." They also claim Richie threatened to shoot the funeral director. Police say they found guns in his truck.

Now, Incognito is finally breaking his silence ... apologizing to his fans while maintaining his innocence.

“I just want to apologize to all my fans, and the people of the Bills Mafia, the Rams, the Dolphins, the University of Nebraska, all these people that have supported me. I let em down," Richie told Pat McAfee on his podcast.

"I AM NOT GUILTY. And you know the court process will play itself out. But I feel like I let everybody down. I lost my cool with my father passing. And I feel confident that I will be vindicated in the court process or whatever the heck we’re in right now.”

Another day, another "Wizards of Waverly Place" arrest -- this time it's Selena Gomez's former onscreen love interest ... who got busted for DUI at Burning Man in real life.

Actor Daniel Samonas -- who played Dean Moriarty on the Disney Channel show -- was arrested and booked for driving under the influence in Pershing County, NV ... one of the counties that intersect in the vast Black Rock Desert where BM goes down.

We're still trying to figure out exactly when this happened, but presumably it occurred sometime between August 25 and September 3 -- the dates of Burning Man 2018. One thing's for sure ... Daniel was definitely there enjoying the dust and weird outfits. He posted pics from the festival.

We broke the story ... another 'WoWP' star, David Henrie, was also arrested this week after being caught with a loaded gun at LAX. He later apologized for the incident, saying ... "More than anything I am humiliated and embarrassed that this even happened."

Where's that Waverly Place magic when you need it, right? Someone get Alex on the horn, STAT.

The 3 little bears got nothing on the billionaire behind Oakley sunglasses ... 'cause he says he found a naked man lounging in his bed hot tub, and things got even weirder when Paris Jackson got dragged into it.

James Jannard, who's worth about $3 billion, didn't actually find the naked guy -- he's got people for that -- and, according to docs, Jannard's peeps have found the same perpetrator lurking 3 times on the property of his Beverly Hills mansion.

Jannard says the first time his housekeeper found Terry Purifoy having a naked soak in the spa -- and another time Purifoy broke in and really made himself at home. Cops found him on a couch watching TV and drinking beers.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Jannard says Purifoy broke in through a rear window to the home. He adds ... Purifoy seems to think he's breaking into Paris Jackson's home, and claims he has the right to be there.

Not that it would really matter, but Paris doesn't live anywhere near Jannard's crib.

12:33 PM PT -- Schuman just released a statement on the decision, saying, "My family and I were well aware of the likelihood that my case was not prosecutable due to the statute of limitations in California regarding rape which was modified in 2016. It is unfortunate that the law isn’t fully retroactive to accommodate assaults that have happened in the past, regardless of how far back."

She continues, "It gives me great solace to know that my testimony is fully documented, investigated and sealed for the future if needed by law enforcement. I gave my statement, as did the other witnesses. Speaking out was the best thing I could have ever done for myself and I hope it inspires others to do the same if it feels right for them."

Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter will not be charged for allegations of rape made by Dream singer Melissa Schuman.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the statute of limitations for the alleged 2003 incident expired in 2013 ... so the L.A. County District Attorney's Office will not press charges.

As we reported ... Schuman claimed Nick raped her several years ago and filed a report with the LAPD for the incident in February. In a blog post, the singer said Nick forced her into a bathroom and forced oral sex on her ... then made her reciprocate. She says Carter then took her to a bedroom and forced intercourse.

Carter maintained the sex was consensual, saying, "I am shocked and saddened by Ms. Schuman’s accusations. Melissa never expressed to me while we were together or at any time since that anything we did was not consensual."

Carter continued, "We went on to record a song and perform together, and I was always respectful and supportive of Melissa both personally and professionally.”

After the decision, Carter's attorney, Michael Holtz, tells us, "Nick Carter was vindicated today when the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office rejected the charges against him. Nick has denied these allegations ever since he first learned of them last year, and was confident the District Attorney would conclude that there was no basis to pursue charges against him."

Justin Bieber has gone on the attack against the former neighbor who is suing him over the 2014 egging incident, saying the neighbor claiming emotional distress is actually deep into the porn business.

As we've reported for years now, Jeffrey Schwartz and his wife are suing Bieber for what they say is severe emotional distress from Bieber's hijinks when he lived in the Calabasas neighborhood ... spitting, fighting and egging to be specific. Schwartz already got $80k to repair the damage to his home.

Now Bieber is firing back, saying if Jeffrey Schwartz has emotional distress, it could be because he's hiding something from his family. Bieber claims in new legal docs Schwartz bankrolled a pornographic company called Erotizen. Schwartz denied he kept the company from his family.

And Bieber says there are other reasons Schwartz may be suffering emotional distress ... claiming his company, Seller Networks, was facing countless complaints from customers for promising to sell their cars within a certain time and failing to deliver.

A former Michigan State field hockey player claims Larry Nassar raped her back in 1992 -- and got her pregnant -- but when she tried to go to cops, a high-ranking MSU official shut her down.

The woman behind the suit is Erika Davis -- who was 17 years old when she suffered a knee injury during an MSU team practice and her coach referred her to Nassar.

During an exam, Davis claims Nassar crushed up a pill and made her drink it -- and a short time later she got "very woozy" and could not move her limbs.

Davis claims she passed out -- and woke up to Nassar raping her vaginally and ejaculating into her.

Later in the summer, Davis says a pregnancy test came back positive "and the only person who could have caused her to be pregnant was [Nassar]."

She miscarried a few weeks later, according to the suit.

Davis claims she told friends who recommended she go to the police -- but when she did, a detective told her he was "powerless to investigate ... and to go to the athletic department."

Davis says the athletic department had already dismissed her complaint and the Sergeant told her that MSU athletic director George Perles was a "powerful man" and that "she should just drop it."

Davis says she eventually moved on with her life and repressed the memories -- until 2018 after other victims began speaking out. That's when she decided to resurrect her legal action.

It was just a matter of time, but Conor McGregor has finally been sued by a UFC fighter for that April bus attack at Barclay's Center where he threw a steel dolly through a window, injuring several people.

The man behind the first lawsuit is Michael Chiesa -- who was scheduled to fight Anthony Pettis at UFC 223 but was forced to pull out due to the injuries he received in the bus attack.

As we previously reported, Chiesa was on the bus with several fighters and UFC staffers when Conor and his gang of hooligans went berserk. Chiesa suffered cuts to his body and face.

According to the lawsuit filed in state court in New York, Chiesa says he also suffered "severe emotional distress, mental trauma and/or bodily harm."

Chiesa is suing McGregor for assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

He's also going after the Barclay's Center for negligence, claiming they failed "to engage in proper security measures to protect the plaintiff and other patrons."

Chiesa doesn't specify how much he's going after in the suit -- but he's clearly looking for a big number because part of the damages he's seeking are the paychecks he lost due to missing that massive UFC event.

Conor was arrested after the incident and charged with felony criminal mischief and 3 counts of misdemeanor assault. However, he later struck a plea deal with prosecutors in which he pled guilty to misdemeanor disorderly conduct and the other counts (including the felony) were dropped.

Conor issued a statement thanking the D.A. for "allowing me to move forward."

There were other fighters injured in the attack including Rose Namajunas who has also told the media she was emotionally scarred. She hasn't sued yet, but that's only a matter of time.

Foxy Brown took thousands of dollars to perform at an event, showed up hours late, grabbed a check out of the organizer's hand and skipped out ... so claims a furious promoter who is now on the verge of suing.

Foxy agreed to perform 2 songs at the LaQuan Smith party Sunday night during New York Fashion Week. In return, she was going to pull in $10k ... $5k in advance and the balance at the party.

We're told the party came and went ... with Foxy nowhere in sight. We're told at 2:30 AM, when there were only a handful of stragglers left, she showed, grabbed the $5k check out of the organizer's hand and booked it for the door. Our sources say Foxy didn't sing a single note.

The people who threw the shindig are furious and want to give Foxy an ultimatum ... return the money, or we'll see you in court.

We tried multiple times to reach Foxy, but were unsuccessful.

In one corner ... Von Miller, NFL superstar.

In the other corner, Travell "Black Magic" Mazion ... a 13-0 boxer who's a rising star in the sport.

The fight? Von claims he staked Mazion with a $30,000 investment and in exchange, he was supposed to get 20% of all "Black Magic" fight earning.

The problem? Von claims he forked over his initial check in Feb. 2017 -- and hasn't received a dime.

Mazion had a fight in April 2017 -- after Von ponied up his dough -- and expected his cut right away. But, Black Magic went M.I.A. and stopped responding to Von's demands for his cash.

In his suit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Miller says he wants Mazion to cough up pay stubs so he knows how much cash he's owed.

3:05 PM PT -- Henrie just released the statement he promised earlier on social media, and took full responsibility for the "situation." He apologized for any trouble he caused and said, "More than anything I am humiliated and embarrassed that this even happened." He also made sure to give another shout-out to TSA and LAPD.

1:56 PM PT -- We got David leaving jail, and he tells us the gun was his and totally legal. He's got nothing but respect for the officers who arrested him, and says he'll clear everything up later today.

"Wizards of Waverly Place" star David Henrie -- who costarred with Selena Gomez on the show -- was just arrested for carrying a loaded gun at LAX.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Henrie was going through a TSA screening Monday morning at the airport and agents discovered the weapon. We're told the gun was an M&P Shield 9mm pistol and it was loaded.

Henrie was immediately detained and taken to a nearby station.

Henrie starred as Gomez's brother on "Wizards of Waverly Place" from 2007-2012. He's also made appearances on "How I Met Your Mother" and "Arrested Development." David was also on "That's So Raven" for 12 episodes with Raven-Symone and Orlando Brown.

Brown's had his fair share of run-ins with the law -- with several arrests over the years -- he was most recently caught on surveillance in a burglary.

Henrie recently revealed he and his wife, Maria Cahill, are expecting a daughter. In announcing the pregnancy, Henrie said, "That reminds me. Where's my shotgun. I don't have a shotgun. Someone get me a shotgun!"

Jake T. Austin -- who played Henrie and Gomez's younger brother on the show -- was involved in a 4-car hit-and-run crash back in 2013.

We reached out to his reps ... so far, no word back. Henrie is still in custody.

Young Thug's got a pair of handcuffs in his future -- there's a new warrant out for his arrest in Georgia ... TMZ has learned.

The grand jury warrant was issued in DeKalb County after Thug was indicted on a slew of drug possession charges ... according to our law enforcement sources. We broke the story, the grand jury rung him up last week on a total of 8 FELONIES!

YT was charged with possession and intent to distribute meth, hydrocodone and weed. He's also charged with possession of amphetamine, Alprazolam, codeine (2 counts) and a firearm.

The felony charges stem from Young Thug's arrest last September, when cops pulled him over for tinted windows ... but ended up nailing him for marijuana possession.
