Controversial S#!T

Aubrey O'Day is taking a victory lap over her thorny Diddy stance after Cassie accused him of multiple crimes ... something AOD backs 100%.

The former Danity Kane singer -- who used to be signed to Bad Boy and worked extensively with Diddy in the 2000s -- shouted out Cassie on social media after her bombshell lawsuit against her ex went public, writing ... "Been Trynna Tell Y'all For Years."

She also told Page Six she's in "complete support" of Cassie ... and that what Cassie describes in her complaint probably echoes some of what Aubrey herself has said about Diddy.

If you're unaware, Aubrey's been doing multiple interviews over the past year or so ... in which she made allegations of her own against Puff -- but not quite to the level Cassie did. AOD's concerns mostly stemmed from what she claimed were shady biz practices ... and unwanted sexual advances from Diddy that she claims she had to rebuff over the years.

Aubrey also recently slammed Diddy finally signing off on his former artists getting their publishing rights back ... claiming that he had them sign NDAs as part of the deal.

She says she was offered her own publishing rights back as well, but refused to sign the alleged NDA she says came attached to it -- something else Aubrey's feeling vindication over.

8:59 AM PT -- 11/17 -- La policía de Nueva York dice que la información proporcionada por su portavoz sobre una investigación "cerrada" de Diddy era incorrecta.

La declaración completa del organismo dice: "Ayer, un miembro de la oficina de información pública del Departamento de Policía de Nueva York informó erróneamente a un reportero sobre la aparente existencia de un expediente activo que contenía el nombre de "Sean Combs". En la actualidad no existe tal investigación. Además, la divulgación de dicha información no es coherente con las políticas internas de la oficina del Comisionado Adjunto de Información Pública. La policía de Nueva York siempre trata las acusaciones de agresión sexual y violación con extrema seriedad e insta a cualquier persona que haya sido víctima a que presente una denuncia policial para que se pueda ofrecer apoyo y servicios a los supervivientes y se pueda llevar a cabo una investigación exhaustiva".

Diddy es objeto de una investigación secreta de la policía de Nueva York, y aunque no está claro si su ex Cassie Ventura hizo la denuncia penal, hay una fuerte evidencia de que esta involucra agresión sexual.

Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que hay un caso abierto en la policía de Nueva York con el nombre de "Sean Combs". Nos dicen que es un caso activo, pero el archivo ha sido "bloqueado", lo que significa que es un caso sensible y el acceso está restringido.

Como informamos, Cassie presentó una demanda federal explosiva, en la que alega violación y trata de personas, entre otras acusaciones.

Le preguntamos sobre el caso a la policía de Nueva York y respondieron con esta declaración: "El Departamento de Policía de Nueva York (NYPD) toma los casos de asalto sexual y violación extremadamente en serio, e insta a cualquier persona que haya sido víctima a presentar una denuncia policial para que podamos realizar una investigación exhaustiva y ofrecer apoyo y servicios a los sobrevivientes".

Basándonos en la declaración, parece que este no es solo un caso de agresión sexual, pues la policía está buscando activamente a otras presuntas víctimas.

Nos pusimos en contacto con otras jurisdicciones policiales que Cassie menciona en su denuncia, incluyendo Miami, Beverly Hills y Los Ángeles, y en cada una de ellas obtuvimos la misma respuesta. No se ha presentado ningún informe policial en lo que respecta a Cassie o Diddy y no se ha iniciado ninguna investigación.

Encontramos un caso de 2016, que TMZ publicó en su momento. La policía de Beverly Hills fue contactada después de una discusión entre Diddy y Cassie, presuntamente a causa de una ruptura. Se realizó un informe del incidente doméstico, pero no se siguió ninguna acción legal.

Como ya informamos, Cassie ha denunciado todo tipo de delitos, desde violación a agresión y hasta tráfico de personas, después de alegar que Diddy la obligó a mantener relaciones sexuales con prostitutos a través de las fronteras estatales.

Debido a que se eleva a un delito federal, también hemos comprobado con fuentes policiales de esa índole, incluyendo la Oficina del Fiscal de Estados Unidos en el Distrito Sur de Nueva York, así como con el FBI, y en ambos frentes nada.

El abogado de Diddy ha sido contundente en llamar "basura" la demanda de Cassie. Nos dijo que la mayoría de sus reclamos serían excluidos de la persecución penal sobre la base de la ley de prescripción. Su demanda por violación, sin embargo, todavía podría ser perseguida aquí en California, así que el tiempo dirá si ella presenta una denuncia penal allí.

8:03 AM PT -- The White House just came out and blasted Elon's support of this tweet, with a spokesperson saying ... "It is unacceptable to repeat the hideous lie behind the most fatal act of Antisemitism in American history at any time, let alone one month after the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust."

They continue, "Like President Biden said weeks ago memorializing the victims of the Pittsburgh Synagogue shooting, the October 7 'devastating atrocity has brought to the surface painful memories left by millennia of Antisemitism.'

The spokesperson finishes by saying, "We condemn this abhorrent promotion of Antisemitic and racist hate in the strongest terms, which runs against our core values as Americans."

Elon Musk is being accused of antisemitism after he said there was "truth" in a post that suggested Jews hate white people -- and it's now snowballing into a very costly problem.

The Tesla chief has a bit of a fire going down at his Twitter/X house right now -- and it's of his own doing ... this after he responded to a tweet that floated the idea that Jewish people spew the kind of ugly racist rhetoric that's so often thrown in their direction.

The OG Twitter user was responding to a video that was calling for an end to antisemitism, writing ... "Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them."

He added, "I'm deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest s*** now about western Jewish populations coming to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country don't exactly like them too much."

Elon replied, "You have said the actual truth." His apparent cosign of this sentiment -- which has widely been labeled as antisemitic -- is now causing backlash against EM ... with some saying he's supporting Jew-hating propaganda here. Of course, he's pushing back on that.

In subsequent tweets/replies, Elon has tried deflecting his criticism to orgs like the ADL -- but it seems the damage might be done ... 'cause one of his biggest advertisers is bailing.

Media Matters reported Wednesday that IBM had paused ads on Musk's platform -- this after some of their content was apparently starting to show up next to tweets promoting Nazis ... something the company saw and immediately backed away from.

The fact Elon had said what he said just a day earlier was lost on no one either -- but he's suggesting this all a smear campaign, calling MM an "evil organization."

Elon Musk está siendo acusado de antisemitismo después de que dijera que había "verdad" en un post que sugería que los judíos odian a los blancos, y ahora se está convirtiendo en un problema muy costoso para él.

El mandamás de Tesla tiene un pequeño incendio en su casa Twitter/X y viene de su propia cosecha, después de que respondiera a un tuit que sugirió la idea de que los judíos arrojan la misma retórica racista que tan a menudo se lanza en su dirección.

El usuario de Twitter OG estaba respondiendo a un video que pedía fin al antisemitismo, escribiendo: "Las comunidades judías han estado impulsando el mismo tipo de odio dialéctico contra los blancos que dicen querer que la gente deje de usar contra ellos".

Elon respondió: "Has dicho la auténtica verdad". Su aparente consigna ha sido ampliamente etiquetada como antisemita, con varias reacciones en contra y algunos diciendo que está apoyando la propaganda de odio hacia los judíos. Por supuesto, él se opone a ello.

En tuits y respuestas posteriores, Elon ha tratado de desviar sus críticas a organizaciones como la ADL (Anti-Defamation League), pero parece que el daño podría estar hecho porque uno de sus mayores anunciantes se está retirando.

Media Matters informó el miércoles que IBM había pausado los anuncios en la plataforma de Musk, esto después de que algunos de sus contenidos aparentemente empezaran a aparecer junto a los tuits que promueven los nazis. Cuando la compañía lo vio inmediatamente se echó para atrás.

Jada Pinkett Smith volvió a negar las acusaciones de que Will Smith se enganchó con Duane Martin, pero esta vez fue un poco más lejos. Dijo que no ha habido ningún tipo de enredo similar a este con ningún hombre.

La actriz se puso firme una vez más sobre el chisme en Nueva York el miércoles. Esto, no mucho después de que nos dijera que ella y su marido planean tomar acciones legales. En respuesta a la pregunta de si los rumores entre Will y Duane son una tontería, ella simplemente dijo: "Por supuesto".

Sin embargo, cuando el fotógrafo le pregunta si ella ha visto a Will con cualquier otro hombre (obviamente, en el ámbito sexual), Jada también lo rechazó rotundamente.

Echa un vistazo a lo que dijo, suena como que nunca ha visto nada de eso con sus propios ojos y podemos decir que lo dice en serio por la insistencia.

Por supuesto, su firmeza se hace eco de lo que nos dijo el miércoles, a saber, que los Smith tomarían acciones legales contra Brother Bilaal, y posiblemente otros, quienes iniciaron esta historia sin fundamento que alude explícitamente al sexo gay.

Por cierto, Jada abordó todas estas cuestiones en "The Breakfast Club" el miércoles, apuntando a la posibilidad de que su próximo paso sea el aterrizaje en la corte.

Como recordarán, Brother Bilaal, un hombre que dice que es ex asistente y amigo de Will dijo a principios de esta semana que una vez vio a Will en el camerino de Duane, inclinado sobre un sofá y teniendo sexo anal con Duane.

Jada Pinkett Smith is doubling down on denying Will Smith hooked up with Duane Martin -- but going a bit further now ... saying there hasn't been a whiff of this with any dude.

The actress put her foot down yet again on the gossip in NYC on Wednesday -- not long after she told us she and her hubby planned on suing. In response to being asked if the Will and Duane chatter was baloney ... she simply said, "Absolutely" ... reiterating her initial denial.

However, when the photog here asks a follow-up -- namely, whether she's seen Will with any man (obviously meaning in a sexual nature) ... JPS emphatically shoots that down as well.

Check out what she has to say ... sounds like she's never seen anything like that with her own two eyes -- and you can tell she means it by the repetition here.

Of course, her being firm echoes what she told us Wednesday as well ... namely, that the Smiths would be taking legal action against Brother Bilaal -- and possibly others -- for floating the unsubstantiated story that explicitly mentioned gay sex.

BTW, Jada elaborated on all this on "The Breakfast Club" Wednesday -- further pointing to the possibility of this landing in court as her family's next step.

You'll recall, Brother Bilaal -- a man who says he's Will's former assistant/friend -- said earlier this week he once walked in on Will bent over a couch in Duane's dressing room, with the 2 having anal sex.

A rep for Will told us, "This story is completely fabricated and the claim is unequivocally false" ... and sources told us Duane had no plans to publicly respond to Bilaal's claim -- 'cause the allegations are so ridiculous.

Jim Harbaugh is waving the white flag in his fight against the Big Ten -- the Michigan head football coach has agreed to accept his three-game suspension as a result of the program's sign-stealing scandal.

U of M released a statement on the matter Thursday afternoon ... saying all sides resolved their pending litigation, with the conference closing its investigation.

"Coach Harbaugh, with the University's support, decided to accept this sanction to return the focus to our student-athletes and their performance on the field," the school said.

"The Conference has confirmed that it is not aware of any information suggesting Coach Harbaugh's involvement in the allegations."

Harbaugh's punishment means he will now miss Michigan's game against Maryland -- plus its massive rivalry with Ohio State ... which has a lot riding on it, as both schools are ranked in the top four.

Thursday's decision, however, doesn't mean Coach is out of the woods just yet -- the NCAA is still looking into the whole saga involving staffer Connor Stalions, who is accused of buying tickets to games to decipher the sideline signals of Michigan's future opponents.

The school stated it will continue to cooperate with that investigation.

Harbaugh will be able to coach during the week ... but he will be persona non grata on gameday for the next two matchups.

DaBaby thinks he got the best of Jay-Z when they popped up the same track -- and isn't shy about singing his own praises ... even at the expense of one of the rap G.O.A.T.s.

Shannon Sharpe recently had the "Bop" rapper on his "Club Shay Shay" podcast and his take on Lil Yachty's opinion that DaBaby had a better verse than Jay on Kanye West's "Jail" track from his 2021 "Donda" album.

DaBaby got added to the track last minute along with Marilyn Manson and wholeheartedly agreed with Lil Yachty that his verse was superior to Jay's.

He noted that they didn't record at the same time so it wasn't a direct competition and they had no knowledge of each other's verses, but when the final results came in ... DaBaby Did!!!

Drake just announced he's following up on his newest album only a month after its release ... and some fans think it's a direct move reacting to the viral bashing from Joe Budden.

Shortly after Drake announced his "Scary Hours 3" EP would arrive at midnight, Budden's name became a trending topic crediting him for the quick OVO Sound turnaround.

They also predicted Drake would give him a lyrical thrashing on at least one of the songs ... a fact JB seemed to revel in with his crying emojis reaction!!!

If you remember on the weekend of 'Dogs' release, JB criticized Drake for blending in with the teeny boppers, even slamming the Yeat collab "IDGAF" ... which has been the runaway fan favorite on streaming.

In fact, 'Dogs' surpassed the 1 billion stream mark this week ... clearly people are still bumping it but Joe told him he needed to do better.

Drake says he's happy with 'Dogs' -- he's just getting musical inspiration at a rapid pace and thinks it would be a crime to withhold the tracks from the public.

Donald Trump puede estar pensando en ir cara a cara con los otros republicanos que le están desafiando por la nominación presidencial, porque hemos descubierto que el Servicio Secreto ya ha explorado el lugar.

El próximo debate está previsto para el 6 de diciembre en el Moody Music Building Concert Hall de la Universidad de Alabama en Birmingham. Será retransmitido en directo por NewsNation. La cadena anunció el pasado jueves que acogerá el debate, y fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que ese mismo día agentes del Servicio Secreto acudieron al lugar y recorrieron las instalaciones por dentro y por fuera.

El único candidato que cuenta con la protección del Servicio Secreto es Donald Trump, quien, como ex Presidente, será seguido de por vida por la Agencia.

Trump ha pasado de los anteriores debates de este año y no ha habido pruebas evidentes de que vaya a cambiar de rumbo, dado que está a años luz de los demás candidatos en las encuestas. Pero el paseo del Servicio Secreto sugiere que está pensando en presentarse.

Lo que es especialmente interesante es que uno de los tres moderadores del debate es Megyn Kelly, quien famosamente se enfrentó a Trump durante un debate republicano en 2015. Las calificaciones se fueron por las nubes para ese debate y Trump está obsesionado con las calificaciones, así que quién sabe.

Donald Trump may be thinking about going head-to-head with the other Republicans who are challenging him for the presidential nomination because we've learned the Secret Service has already scoped out the venue.

The next debate is scheduled for December 6 at the Moody Music Building Concert Hall at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. The debate will be carried live on NewsNation. The network announced last Thursday it will host the debate, and sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... that same day Secret Service agents came to the venue and walked the premises ... inside and out.

The only candidate who has Secret Service protection is Donald Trump, who, as a former President, will be shadowed for life by the agency.

Trump has passed on the previous debates this year and there has been no obvious evidence he'll change course, given he's light-years ahead of the other candidates in the polls. But the Secret Service walk-through suggests he's thinking about showing up.

What's especially interesting ... one of the 3 moderators of the debate is Megyn Kelly, who famously sparred with Trump during a Republican debate back in 2015. The ratings went through the roof for that debate, and Trump is obsessed with ratings, so who knows?

GQ está haciendo su lista anual de "Hombres del Año" y están incluyendo a un grupo de mujeres en la celebración y tiene a algunas personas  —en su mayoría hombres— en forma.

La famosa revista está organizando dos eventos diferentes para celebrar a sus homenajeados. El miércoles organizaron una fiesta en Londres y el jueves harán lo mismo aquí en los Estados Unidos. Sea una situación en la que todos serán invitados chicos y chicas.

Eso es lo que tiene a algunas personas quejándose en Tuiter. Muchos se preguntan por qué hay una fuerte presencia femenina en el foco de un evento "para hombres".

Es un argumento justo, suponemos... el hecho es que su lista de homenajeados al otro lado del charco estaba compuesta por un montón de mujeres. En realidad, más de la mitad eran damas. De las 20 personas nombradas para el evento del Reino Unido, solo 10 de ellos eran en realidad hombres y eso ha levantado algunas cejas.

Algunas de las mujeres reconocidas como "Hombres del Año" nominados allí incluyen a Jasmine Jobson, Mary Earps, Simone Rocha y Bianca Saunders, solo para nombrar unos pocos. Cuando se ejecutan de nuevo el jueves, sin duda Kim Kardashian estará presente.

Verás, ella es en realidad una de las mujeres famosas que adornaban su portada "MOTY" este año, e incluso esa decisión ha recibido algunas críticas. Ya sabes, viendo que es una revista para hombres.

Por supuesto, GQ ha estado incluyendo a las mujeres en su "Hombres del Año" desde hace años, por lo que las personas que están muy enojadas al respecto en 2023 parecen estar buscando algo para estar enojados. También parece haber algo de misoginia y quizá, también transfobia.

GQ is doing its annual 'Men of the Year' back-patting this week -- but they're including a bunch of ladies in the celebration, and it's got some people -- mostly men -- bent out of shape.

The famous magazine is hosting two different events to celebrate their honorees -- on Wednesday, they threw a shindig out in London ... and come Thursday, they'll do the same thing here in the States. For both, it's a star-studded get-together ... guys and gals, in fact.

That's what's got some people's panties in a bunch on Twitter -- if you go fishing for the outrage, you'll find it ... with a good handful of folks asking why there's such a strong female presence in GQ's spotlight of their "men."

It's a fair argument, we suppose ... fact is, their list of honorees over across the pond was made up of a lot of women. Actually, more than half were ladies -- out of 20 people named for the UK event, only 10 of them were actually dudes ... and that's raised some eyebrows.

Some of the women recognized as "Men of the Year" nominees there included ... Jasmine Jobson, Mary Earps, Simone Rocha and Bianca Saunders, just to name a few. When they run it back on Thursday ... Kim Kardashian will undoubtedly be in attendance.

You see ... she's actually one of the famous women who graced their 'MOTY' cover this year, and even that decision has gotten some pushback. Y'know, seeing how it's a men's mag.

Of course, GQ has been including women in their 'Men of the Year' lineup for years now ... so the people who are extra pissy about it in 2023 seem to be looking for something to be mad about. There also seems to be some misogyny afoot ... and maybe transphobia too.

10:20 AM PT -- A TikTok spokesperson tells TMZ ... "Content promoting this letter clearly violates our rules on supporting any form of terrorism. We are proactively and aggressively removing this content and investigating how it got onto our platform. The number of videos on TikTok is small and reports of it trending on our platform are inaccurate. This is not unique to TikTok and has appeared across multiple platforms and the media."

Osama Bin Laden might've not been such a bad guy after all -- at least that's what a bunch of TikTokers think ... this after reading a post-9/11 letter he wrote, if you can believe that.

Here's the deal ... correspondence that the infamous terrorist architect of Sept. 11th wrote back in 2002 -- in response to the question of why he and his al-Qaeda followers carried out the deadly attacks -- has been going viral over the past 24 hours or so, but in a strange way.

Essentially, a bunch of people online read his "Letter to America" and apparently see some merit in his arguments over why he and his fellow terrorists decided to kill thousands of American civilians ... and yes, this all has to do with the current Israel-Palestine conflict.

You can go read the letter on your own, but OBL explicitly mentions the U.S.'s role in the Middle East dating back decades ... and claims our country has basically given him and his cohorts no choice but to retaliate to what he characterizes as unjust meddling in the region.

He also notes he's a Palestine sympathizer ... and that seems to be why all these Americans now are posting TikTok responses and suggesting -- "Y'know what, maybe he had a point."

It's a wild trend, and it's gone viral -- so much so, in fact, that one of the only mainstream Western publications that still had the letter up on their site (The Guardian) actually took it down ... and their rationale boils down to it not having their original proper context.

Of course, it's understandable why they'd remove it ... seeing how it justifies committing mass murder on many, many Americans -- something some folks in 2023 seem to cool with!

Like we said, most of the folks reconsidering their view on 9/11 are echoing the pro-Palestine/anti-Israel rhetoric we've seen in protests for weeks now ... and while some are trying to walk the line of condemning Bin Laden's tactics for dealing with his grievances (aka, deadly terrorism) and supporting his root cause, others are blurring the line a bit.

If that sounds concerning ... well, that's 'cause it is. Those who are finding validity in Bin Laden's key points are now saying they were brainwashed by U.S. propaganda into hating the guy and supporting the American effort to root out radical Islamist terrorism in the '00s.

Naturally, others are screaming revisionist history ... and are beside themselves that any American could see Bin Laden as an oppressed victim. Talk about never forget, huh?

5:52 PM PT -- The NBA is punishing Draymond Green for his putting Rudy Gobert in a chokehold ... hitting DG with a 5-game suspension.

In announcing the suspension Wednesday, the NBA says ... "The length of the suspension is based in part on Green's history of unsportsmanlike acts."

Draymond will reportedly miss out on $769,970 in salary with the unpaid suspension ... and he's being fined $25,000.

Meanwhile, Rudy is being docked $25K ... as are Klay Thompson and Jaden McDaniels.

Draymond Green has found himself in hot water for putting his hands on someone once again.

This time, the Warriors superstar was ejected from Golden State's game against the Timberwolves on Tuesday night ... because he locked Rudy Gobert in a chokehold.

The MMA move happened just seconds into the Dubs' contest with Minnesota at the Chase Center in San Francisco ... just after Klay Thompson got tangled up with Jaden McDaniels.

The two NBA stars swung each other around right in the middle of the court ... and in an effort to break it all up, guys from both teams raced in.

But, when Green got to the fracas, he appeared to escalate things further by wrapping his arm around Gobert's neck -- and refusing to let go ... this despite repeated pleas from head coach Steve Kerr.

Eventually, Green did drop Gobert ... but refs still decided to throw him out of the game for the act -- as well as Thompson and McDaniels.

After the game -- which the Warriors ended up losing -- Gobert blasted Green for it all ... calling the Golden State star's actions "clown behavior."

"It's kind of funny because before the game, I was telling myself that Steph [Curry] is not playing, so I know Draymond is going to try and get ejected," Gobert said. "Because every time Steph doesn't play, he doesn't want to play -- it's his guy Steph. He'll do anything he can to get ejected."

Gobert then called for punishment for Green.

"I do hope that the league is going to do what needs to be done because that’s just clown behavior," Gobert said. "Not much to say. It’s clown behavior."

Of course, Green is no stranger to these situations ... he's been ejected for physical altercations several times over his career -- and, perhaps most famously, he was fined by his own team last year for getting violent with teammate Jordan Poole during a preseason practice.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Balenciaga está recibiendo críticas por el nuevo artículo de diseño que la compañía está vendiendo, una falda hecha de una toalla de algodón por la módica suma de $925.

La gente en redes sociales ha hecho y desecho con la peculiar prenda.

La falda/toalla de $925 es parte de la colección Primavera 2024 de la marca Balenciaga. La empresa comenzó a tomar pedidos por adelantado el martes y mucha gente se pregunta qué diablos está pasando.

Algunos tuits dice: "¿No es Balenciaga una falda toalla? 😭 ¿Quién es el director creativo de allí?" y "Balenciaga está vendiendo una toalla envuelta alrededor de la cintura de alguien como una falda por $925 😂😂😂 por favor váyanse a la mier...".

Balenciaga dice que la falda/toalla de 925 dólares se sujeta con dos botones en el interior de la cintura y un cinturón ajustable con una hebilla en el interior hecha en Italia y tiene que ser limpiada en seco.

El modelo en el sitio web de Balenciaga lleva la falda de toalla sobre un par de pantalones de carga de $1.950 y una sudadera con capucha con cremallera de $1.000.

Naturalmente, algunos usuarios de las redes sociales dicen que pueden lograr el mismo look por mucho menos, como una toalla de $5 en el Target.

El precio de 925 dólares parece ser la principal queja aquí, pero una mujer dice ... ¿"UNA FALDA TOALLA COMO UNA DECLARACIÓN DE MODA"?  Por favor THATS SO UGLY 😭 why balenciaga ?????".
