Brandy is dimming Shyne's insinuations that the two dated back in the day in no uncertain terms ... posting an Instagram tirade that put all the rumors to bed, after the rapper's appearance on Ma$e and Cam'ron's "It Is What It Is" podcast, seen above.

Brandy wrote, "In the late '90s, I had a platonic friendship with rapper Shyne. In an unfortunate turn of events, that friendship is now being mischaracterized as 'we dated.' Unequivocally, we did not! I'm not sure why an untrue narrative about a scope of what was a friendship more than 20 years ago is being reshaped during his current media interviews."

She continued ... "People telling their version of my story is why I am releasing my upcoming memoir 'Phases.' It's time to tell my truth and debunk many of the misnomers that people think they know about my life." ICYMI ...

Kevin Spacey has reportedly reached a settlement with three men who filed civil sexual assault cases against him in London in 2023.

The Oscar winner avoided trial by coming to an undisclosed agreement with the three men, according to multiple reports, who accused Spacey of sexually assaulting them between 2000 and 2013, in Britain.

As you know ... Spacey has always denied any wrongdoing and a London court cleared him of nine sexual assault charges during a 2023 criminal trial. This followed a 2020 civil suit brought by former child actor Anthony Rapp which ended in Spacey being found not liable. But even with the courts deciding in Spacey's favor, his legal woes have taken their toll ...

Joseph Duggar from "19 Kids and Counting" has been arrested and charged in Florida with lewd and lascivious behavior, involving unlawful sexual activity with a minor ... TMZ has learned.

According to a press release from the Bay County Sheriff's Office, a 14-year-old alleged victim was interviewed and made claims about several incidents involving the 31-year-old Duggar that she said occurred during a family vacation in Panama City Beach, when she was 9 years old.

The Sheriff's Office says the alleged incidents took place in 2020 and the alleged victim said Duggar repeatedly asked her to sit on his lap, before later asking her to sit next to him on a couch, covering them with a blanket.

These two seductive snaps may be inside, but usually you can catch her outside. Can you score the famous babe in question?!

Investigators say the victim accused Duggar of repeatedly asking her to sit on his lap and sit next to him on a couch. At one point on the couch, he placed a blanket over them and allegedly "manipulated the victim's underwear and grazed her genitals" and rubbed his hand on her thighs.

The girl's father confronted Duggar about these allegations on Tuesday, and according to the Bay County Sheriff's Office, he admitted his actions and was subsequently arrested.

He is charged with lewd and lascivious behavior involving molestation of a victim less than 12 years old and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person 18 years or older.

Emotions have been running high in the civil trial brought by the Ohio sheriff's deputies who raided Afroman's home back in 2022.

On Monday, sheriff's deputy Lisa Phillips broke down in tears while being shown a music video Afroman made titled "Licc'em Low Lisa" ... that appears to feature an actor portraying the officer simulating oral sex on another woman.

In courtroom footage, Lisa is seen visibly crying while the 13-minute video played. Afroman's lawyer had objected to playing the video, but the judge ultimately allowed it.

The court also played Afroman's 2022 music video "Why You Disconnecting My Video Camera," where he raps "Lieutenant Licc'em Low Lisa ate my ex-wife just like pizza" as home security footage seems to show Lisa walking through his house during the raid.

There was a glitch in the matrix as Taylor Frankie Paul appeared on "Live with Kelly and Mark" ... the new 'Bachelorette' was cut off while referencing the abuse allegations she's facing, but TMZ has learned it's a very bizarre coincidence.

There's a lot going on with you," and right after Taylor responded, "I've had better days, I will say" ... the audio and video clipped out and came back in the middle of Kelly asking about the Oscars.

Conspiracy theorists might think it was ABC censoring something Taylor said about the controversy, but it's not that deep.
