Jamie Foxx Denies Sexual Assault Allegations ... After Being Sued
Jamie Foxx is vehemently denying allegations he sexually assaulted a model ... pushing back on the claims she's making in a recent lawsuit.
A spokesperson for Jamie tells TMZ ... "The alleged incident never happened. In 2020, this individual filed a nearly identical lawsuit in Brooklyn. That case was dismissed shortly thereafter. The claims are no more viable today than they were then."
We broke the story ... Jamie is being sued by a woman who claims he got handsy with her at a swanky NYC rooftop restaurant back in August 2015, accusing him of groping her without consent.
In the suit, the woman claims she asked Jamie for a photo and told her, "Wow, you have that supermodel body" and "You smell so good." She says he pulled her by the arm to a back area and started running his hands all over her body, including on her vagina, breasts and anus.
Jamie's spokesperson says his camp is confident the claims will be dismissed and adds ... "And once they are, Mr. Foxx intends to pursue a claim for malicious prosecution against this person and her attorneys for re-filing this frivolous action."

ACCIÓN DE GRACIAS DE MACY'S Caos con protesta pro palestina... Manifestantes interrumpen desfile
Un famoso desfile de Acción de Gracias en Nueva York se convirtió en una manifestación pro-Palestina luego de que varias personas interrumpieran la ruta y provocaran el caos antes de ser expulsados.
Grupos de manifestantes pegaron sus manos a la 6ª Avenida mientras el desfile de Thanksgiving de Macy's estaba pasando, lo que obligó a la policía de Nueva York a redirigir las carrozas y los globos.
Los manifestantes estaban vestidos con mamelucos blancos empapados de sangre falsa, coreaban "Palestina libre" y protestaban contra el "capitalismo" y el "genocidio" en el Medio Oriente.
Las multitudes trataron de ahogar las manifestaciones con abucheos y los policías terminaron retirando a los manifestantes de la ruta del desfile, pero no sin retrasos.
Otros manifestantes sacaron una enorme pancarta que decía "Genocidio entonces. Genocidio ahora", al mismo tiempo que protestaban frente a una carroza de McDonald's.
La Policía de Nueva York nos dice que varios manifestantes fueron detenidos.
Como ustedes saben, las tensiones en la Gran Manzana son altas a raíz de la guerra entre Israel y Hamás. Esta semana, Susan Sarandon asistió a una protesta pro-Palestina y luego fue desechada por su agencia de talentos de Hollywood por dar un polémico discurso.
Sarandon dijo que los judíos de Estados Unidos que viven atemorizados por el antisemitismo desde los ataques terroristas de Hamás están descubriendo lo que se siente ser musulmán en el país.
En última instancia, las manifestaciones no detuvieron el desfile de Acción de Gracias ... Pero no sin un poco de drama antes.
Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Pro-Palestine Protest Chaos ... Demonstrators Disrupt It
A famous Thanksgiving parade in New York City turned into a pro-Palestine demonstration ... with protestors disrupting the route and causing chaos before getting booted.
Groups of demonstrators glued their hands to 6th Avenue as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was coming through ... forcing NYPD to redirect floats and balloons.
The protestors, dressing in white jumpsuits drenched in fake blood, protested against "capitalism" and "genocide" in the Middle East ... chanting "Free Palestine."
Crowds tried drowning out the demonstrations with boos ... and cops ended up removing protestors from the parade route ... but not without delays.
Other demonstrators busted out a huge banner reading "Genocide Then. Genocide Now" as they protested in front of a McDonald's float.
NYPD tells TMZ ... several protestors were taken into custody.
As you know, tensions are high in the Big Apple in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war ... with Susan Sarandon attending a pro-Palestine protest and getting dropped from her Hollywood talent agency for her controversial speech.
Sarandon said Jewish people in America living in fear of antisemitism since the Hamas terror attacks last month are finding out what it feels like to be Muslim in America.
Ultimately, the demonstrations didn't stop the Thanksgiving parade from chugging along ... but not without some drama.

Hall & Oates Restraining Order Muzzles Oates ... Hall Says Keep My Songs Out of Your Mouth!!!

Exclusive

Hall & Oates are on the outs over what songs John Oates is allowed to sing by himself ... sources familiar with the dispute tell TMZ.
As we reported, Daryl Hall got a restraining order against his longtime compadre last week, although the file has been sealed and no information is publicly available.
The 2 -- BTW, the most successful duo in music history -- have been in arbitration, we're told, trying to work out the ground rules of who can sing what as a solo artist, along with money issues of course ... so say our sources.
Hall ran to court on November 16, asking for a restraining order against Oates ... and the judge granted that order the next day.
It's no coincidence ... Oates had a slew of concerts scheduled for this month -- November 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 10. The November 9 and 10 concerts were postponed until next year, although no reason was given. This aligns with Hall going to court just days later for the restraining order.
SEPTEMBER 2022
Hall appeared on Bill Maher's "Club Random" podcast last year and made it clear ... something bad was going on in the group. Bill asked about his "partner" John Oates, and Hall fired back Oates was not his partner creatively ... they were just business partners. Translation ... them's my songs, not his.
As for what songs are on the table, well, there are a lot, including, "Kiss On My List," "Rich Girl," "Maneater," "You Make My Dreams," "One on One," "Out of Touch," "You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling," and "Private Eyes."
11/23/23
Hall had a concert Thursday in Tokyo, where he played the duo's hits to a huge crowd. Looks like Oates can't do the same, at least for now.

Según la demanda obtenida por TMZ, Foxx estaba en Catch NYC & Roof en agosto de 2015, alrededor de las 11 PM, cuando la demandante llegó para sentarse en el salón y bar de la azotea. Ella dice que se dio cuenta de que Jamie estaba una mesa de distancia.
Alrededor de la 1 AM, la amiga de la demandante le preguntó a Foxx si se tomaría una foto con ella y la demandante. Ella afirma que él dijo: "Claro nena, cualquier cosa por ti", y parecía intoxicado en ese momento. Ella afirma que él le tomó más fotos y comentó: "Vaya, tienes ese cuerpo de supermodelo", "hueles tan bien" y le dijo que se parecía a Gabrielle Union.
La desconocida afirma que Foxx tiró de ella por el brazo hasta la zona trasera de la azotea, donde supuestamente le puso ambas manos en la cintura, las pasó por debajo de la camiseta y empezó a frotarle los pechos. Ella afirma que trató de alejarse y se dio cuenta de un guardia de seguridad y otras personas que vieron lo que había sucedido, pero optaron por alejarse.
En los documentos, la demandante afirma que Foxx entonces supuestamente deslizó su mano en sus pantalones y puso sus dedos sobre su vagina y el ano. Ella dice que su amigo se acercó y vio lo que estaba pasando y fue cuando Jamie dejó de tocarla.
Afirma que resultó herida y tuvo que someterse a tratamiento médico, y que sufrió dolor, sufrimiento y angustia emocional como consecuencia de la "agresión sexual, abuso, asalto y agresión".
Demanda a Foxx, Catch y sus empleados por daños compensatorios y punitivos.

El rapero israelí-estadounidense Kosha Dillz ha instado a tomar una posición pública sobre el conflicto Israel-Palestina a mostrar empatía por los que sufren... israelíes, palestinos, judíos y musulmanes.
Kosha le dice a TMZ que el hecho de que Susan Sarandon y la estrella de "Scream" Melissa Barrera hayan perdido sus trabajos en Hollywood como consecuencia de hablar sobre la agitación no es nada en comparación a los directamente afectados por la guerra.
Como informamos, Melissa se unió a Susan como la última víctima de Hollywood, siendo expulsada de "Scream VII" después de compartir declaraciones polémicas, incluyendo una historia de instagram donde aparentemente aludió a un video de larga data sobre los judíos que controlan los medios de comunicación.

Según los ejemplos de famosos, Kosha añade: "Esto demuestra que algunas de las personas que dicen cosas no tienen ninguna piel en el conflicto ... porque sienten la necesidad de decir algo, pero no están directamente involucrados".
Sin embargo, Kosha señala que la sociedad ha hecho aceptable que la gente alabe a la organización terrorista Hamás como "luchadores por la libertad", añadiendo que le sorprendieron las opiniones de las personas a las que entrevistó tanto en mítines pro-Israel como pro-Palestina.
Conoció a alguien que en realidad era de Gaza, elogiándolo como la "persona más amable" que había encontrado.

"Necesitamos una voz para los sin voz, pero no todas las voces son para los sin voz", afirma.

He met someone who was actually from Gaza ... praising him as the "kindest person" he had encountered.

MELISSA BARRERA responde al despido de "Scream" "el silencio no es una opción"
Melissa Barrera dice que su despido de la franquicia 'Scream' no la silenciará y dice que no es antisemita.
La actriz respondió a su expulsión de "Scream 7" con una declaración en su historia de Instagram, explicando por qué ha dado demasiadas opiniones sobre la guerra en el Oriente Medio.
Por supuesto, fueron las historias de Instagram de Melissa las que la echaron de la película en primer lugar, después de que la productora detrás de "Scream 7" considerara sus comentarios incitadores al odio y antisemitas.
En respuesta, Melissa dice ... "El silencio no es una opción para mí".
Ella comienza condenando el antisemitismo y la islamofobia y habla en contra del odio y los prejuicios contra todas las personas.
Melissa dice que su herencia mexicana le hace sentir la responsabilidad de utilizar su plataforma para "concienciar sobre temas que me preocupan y prestar mi voz a los necesitados".
Y añade: "Creo que un grupo de personas NO son su liderazgo, y que ningún órgano de gobierno debe estar por encima de la crítica".
Recordemos que Melissa fue despedida de "Scream 7" por sus posts sobre Israel y Palestina, incluyendo uno en el que aparentemente aludía a un viejo texto sobre la gente judía que controla los medios de comunicación. En otro post, Melissa comparó Gaza con un campo de concentración.
Spyglass Media Group, la productora detrás de su despido, dice que le mostró la puerta porque: "Tenemos tolerancia cero con el antisemitismo o la incitación al odio en cualquiera de sus formas, incluidas las referencias falsas al genocidio, la limpieza étnica, la distorsión del Holocausto o cualquier cosa que cruce flagrantemente la línea de la incitación al odio".
Melissa dice que no estaba siendo antisemita y parece que no va a sentarse y callarse ahora que ha perdido un lucrativo papel en una película por sus opiniones.
Melissa Barrera 'Scream' Firing Response ... I Won't Be Silent On Israel-Hamas War!!!
Melissa Barrera says her firing from the 'Scream' franchise won't silence her ... and she says she's not antisemitic.
The actress responded to her "Scream 7" ouster with a statement on her Instagram story, explaining why she's been so vocal about the war in the Middle East.
Of course, it was Melissa's IG stories that got her booted from the movie in the first place ... after the production company behind "Scream 7" deemed her comments hate-inciting and antisemitic.
In response, Melissa says ... "Silence is not an option for me."
She starts out by condemning antisemitism and Islamaphobia ... and speaks out against hate and prejudice against all people.
Melissa says her Mexican heritage makes her feel a responsibility to use her platform to "raise awareness about issues I care about and to lend my voice to those in need."
She adds ... "I believe a group of people are NOT their leadership, and that no governing body should be above criticism."
Remember ... Melissa got fired from "Scream 7" for her posts about Israel and Palestine, including one where she seemingly alluded to a long-standing trope about Jewish people controlling the media. In another post, Melissa compared Gaza to a concentration camp.
Spyglass Media Group, the production company behind her firing, says it showed her the door because ... "We have zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate in any form, including false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, Holocaust distortion or anything that flagrantly crosses the line into hate speech."
Melissa says she wasn't being antisemitic ... and it sounds like she won't sit back and shut up now that she's lost a lucrative movie role over her views.

Jim Irsay On 2014 Arrest ... Cops Targeted Me 'Because I'm A Rich, White Billionaire'
Jim Irsay says he was targeted by police during his 2014 arrest ... emphatically believing cops were prejudiced against him because he's "a rich, white billionaire."
The Indianapolis Colts owner made the eyebrow-raising statements to Andrea Kremer during an interview with HBO Sports that aired earlier this week.
In their chat, Kremer asked Irsay if his DUI arrest in Carmel, Ind. some nine years ago was a "low point" for him ... and a few seconds later, he sounded off.
Here is the video of #Colts owner Jim Irsay discussing his DUI in 2014 on @RealSportsHBO. There’s footage of a field sobriety test, which he did not perform well.
— James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) November 22, 2023 @RomeovilleKid
“The arrest was wrong. I had just had hip surgery. … And what? They asked me to walk the line. Are you kidding me?” https://t.co/JPJUVSTBAk pic.twitter.com/yQwdwojcKw
"I am prejudiced against because I'm a rich, white billionaire," Irsay told her. "If I'm just the average guy down the block, they're not pulling me in, of course not."
Carmel police had said at the time of the arrest they stopped Irsay for, among other things, driving too slowly as well as failing to use his turn signal. They eventually put him in cuffs after they claimed he failed their sobriety tests.
Dashcam footage from the scene appeared to show Irsay having trouble walking while talking with cops outside of his car. Cops say toxicology results, meanwhile, showed he had multiple painkillers in his system, including oxycodone and hydrocodone.
Irsay, however, still told Kremer, "The arrest was wrong."
"I had just had hip surgery, and had been in the car for 45 minutes," he said. "And what -- they asked me to walk the line? Are you kidding me? I can barely walk at all."
Irsay eventually pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of operating a vehicle while intoxicated ... and was sentenced to 1 year probation. He told Kremer he only cut the deal with prosecutors because he wanted to get the case "over with."
For the Carmel Police Department's part, it said in a statement to The Indianapolis Star on Tuesday regarding Irsay's allegations, "We are very sorry to hear that comment about our officers and our department."
"We have a very professional agency consisting of officers that strive to protect our community with integrity and professionalism."

Lil Eazy-E thinks his father, Eazy-E's street sign in Compton probably should've come a little bit sooner ... but the day is finally here and everybody's celebratin'!!!
TMZ Hip Hop chopped it up with Lil Eazy on Wednesday as "Eazy Street" became the newest official order in Hub City. LE revealed he's got big plans for the estate in the future ... including some collab with AI.
The AI idea is just one of the visions Eazy says he's floating to honor his famous father's legacy ... AI tools could prove useful in completing some of the unreleased tracks.
Big Eazy died in 1995 but many of his friends and family were still around to support the street sign ... Alonzo Williams the DJ/club owner who helped launch everyone's career, several of his children -- even his mother pulled up to see her son's tribute.
Also present was original N.W.A. member DJ Yella but the other surviving members Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and MC Ren were noticeably absent but Lil Eazy says he's not surprised.
Lil Eazy says Yella was the only one who showed up to the "Boyz-N-The-Hood" rapper's funeral back in the day so he doesn't expect much change-up ... but does say they need to pay a visit to Momma Eazy for holding them down during the early days.
Next up, Lil Eazy says he plans on making a movie about his dad, which he'll direct ... but it sounds like he's coming for that Walk Of Fame spot first -- which he also says is long overdue.

Peepee Patty then stands up and demands to be let into the restroom, as concerned travelers berate her for showing her naked butt in front of kids, sparking a heated argument.

MELISSA BARRERA DESPEDIDA DE "SCREAM" POR PUBLICACIONES SOBRE ISRAEL Y HAMÁS
Melissa Barrera está fuera de su papel protagónico en la franquicia "Scream", y la productora que la despidió dice que se debe a sus publicaciones en redes sociales que considera incitadoras al odio y antisemitas.
La actriz iba a asumir de nuevo el papel protagónico en "Scream VII" después de protagonizar "Scream" y "Scream VI", pero al parecer ha sido despedida debido a publicaciones sobre Israel y Palestina.
Las declaraciones más polémicas de Melissa incluyeron una historia de Instagram donde aparentemente alude a un comentario de larga data sobre personas judías que controlan los medios de comunicación.
Ella escribió: "He estado buscando activamente videos e información sobre el lado palestino durante las últimas 2 semanas más o menos, siguiendo cuentas, etc. ¿Por qué? Porque los medios de comunicación occidentales solo muestran el otro lado. Por qué lo hacen, dejaré que lo deduzcas por ti mismo".
En otros posts, Melissa habría comparado Gaza con un campo de concentración, calificando la guerra en Oriente Medio de "genocidio" y "limpieza étnica" y refiriéndose a Israel como una tierra "colonizada".
Variety fue el primero en informar sobre el despido de Melissa y ella parecía estar abordando el martes con un post declarando que prefiere ser excluida por quien incluye que incluida por quien excluye.
Christopher Landon, que va a dirigir "Scream VII", reaccionó en las redes sociales, diciendo: "Todo apesta. Dejen de gritar. No fue mi decisión".
Spyglass Media Group, la productora que sí tomó la decisión, dice que lo hizo, porque: "Tenemos tolerancia cero con el antisemitismo o la incitación al odio en cualquiera de sus formas, incluidas las referencias falsas al genocidio, la limpieza étnica, la distorsión del Holocausto o cualquier cosa que cruce flagrantemente la línea de la incitación al odio".
Melissa interpreta a Sam Carpenter en "Scream" y "Scream VI", pero ahora algunos grandes cambios están en el horizonte para "Scream VII".
Otras actrices están recibiendo golpes por declaraciones sobre la guerra, como informamos, Susan Sarandon fue despedida de su agencia de talentos de Hollywood por un polémico discurso en una manifestación pro Palestina en Nueva York.
Sarandon dijo que los judíos de Estados Unidos, que viven con miedo al antisemitismo desde los atentados terroristas de Hamás del 7 de octubre, estaban descubriendo lo que se siente al ser musulmán en Estados Unidos.

Melissa Barrera Fired From 'Scream' Over Israel-Hamas War Posts
Melissa Barrera is out of her starring role in the 'Scream' franchise, and the production company that fired her says it's due to her social media posts it deems hate-inciting and antisemitic.
The actress was set to once again assume the leading role in "Scream VII" after starring in "Scream" and "Scream VI" ... but she's reportedly been let go because of posts about Israel and Palestine.
Melissa's more controversial statements included an Instagram story where she seemingly alludes to a longstanding trope about Jewish people controlling the media.
She wrote ... "I have been actively looking for videos and information about the Palestinian side for the last 2 weeks or so, following accounts etc. Why? Because Western media only shows the other side. Why they do that, I will let you deduce for yourself."
In other posts, Melissa reportedly compared Gaza to a concentration camp, calling the war in the Middle East "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing" ... and referring to Israel as a "colonized" land.
Variety was first to report on Melissa's firing ... and she seemed to be addressing it Tuesday with a post declaring she would rather be excluded for who she includes than included for who she excludes.
Christopher Landon, who is set to direct 'Scream VII,' reacted on social media, saying ... "Everything sucks. Stop yelling. This was not my decision to make."
Spyglass Media Group, the production company that did make the decision, says it did so, because ... "We have zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate in any form, including false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, Holocaust distortion or anything that flagrantly crosses the line into hate speech."
Melissa plays Sam Carpenter in "Scream" and "Scream VI" ... but now some big changes are on the horizon for "Scream VII."
Other actresses are taking hits for statements on the war -- as we reported, Susan Sarandon was dropped from her Hollywood talent agency for a controversial speech at a pro-Palestine rally in NYC.
Sarandon said Jewish people in America living in fear of antisemitism since the Hamas terror attacks on Oct 7, were finding out what it feels like to be Muslim in America.
