Controversial S#!T

Jack Harlow was responsible for Thanksgiving dinners going cold across the nation ... with the only thing drier than the turkey being his NFL halftime performance during the Lions-Packers game Thursday.

The rapper's six-minute-long set was blasted as "low-budget" after he failed to elicit any enthusiasm while performing tunes such as "First Class," "Tyler Herro" and "WHATS POPPIN" ... and many even took offense to his amateurish igloo-design backdrop.

"They said Jack Harlow's halftime performance set looked like it was from Frozen and I'm CRYING!!!" one viewer mocked ... while another joked the budget for his show was $49.99.

Others already nursing wounds over Detroit trailing 23-6 at the break went as far as to dub it "the worst performance ever" ... urging the 25-year-old to rethink accepting a similar halftime show offer in the future.

The ridicule didn't end there ... with country icon Dolly Parton heralded as a better performer at age 77 -- and others claiming Jack's show was the sole reason their Thanksgiving was ruined.

The NBA is doing its due diligence amid disturbing allegations surrounding Oklahoma City Thunder player Josh Giddey -- the league just announced it is "looking into" claims he had an inappropriate relationship with a minor.

TMZ Sports has confirmed the Association is aware of the rumors that have spread on social media this week ... with photos and videos alluding to Giddey being intimate with a high school girl.

Giddey was asked about the speculation at Thunder practice on Friday ... and he remained tight-lipped.

"I understand the question, obviously, but no further comment right now," Giddey said.

Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault was also asked about Giddey's status after practice ... and he declined to comment.

Giddey has seemingly taken himself out of the spotlight on social media following the allegations -- he removed his profile photo and disabled comments on Instagram.

The 21-year-old Australian athlete was the No. 6 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft ... averaging 14.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 6.1 assists on his career. He received NBA All-Rookie Team honors in 2022.

Compassion and support are on John Oates' mind ... after being sensationally slapped with a restraining order from his former jam buddy Daryl Hall last week.

Breaking his silence following the legal turmoil ... the 75-year-old dropped a T'Giving IG selfie Thursday ... encouraging all to go above and beyond to help those suffering worldwide -- because nothing says "I'm taking the high road" like a cryptic call for empathy ... right?!

He wrote in the caption: "During this time of communal reflection and connection with loved ones, let's not forget those experiencing challenges globally."

Oates added ... "As we come together, consider reaching out to support those in need—whether through local charities or international humanitarian initiatives. May our collective efforts contribute to a more compassionate and supportive world."

As we previously reported ... the longtime friendship between the world's greatest rock and soul duo soured after Hall hit Nashville Chancery Court on Nov. 16, begging for a restraining order against Oates ... which was granted the following day and effective Nov 30.

The file is sealed, and no information is publicly available ... however, our sources say the fallout is over which one of their songs Oates is allowed to sing on his own.

Oates had a string of concerts scheduled earlier this month ... but his most recent two on Nov 9 and 10 were canceled and rescheduled for next year ... and it's not clear why.

It looks like Oates will be taking a backseat from the stage for a while now ... well, until the matter is resolved between the pair.

Hold on to your turkey leg ... because Chrisean Rock and Blueface are dishing each other a hefty serving of gratitude -- for now.

After months of trading disses, the notoriously tumultuous pair carved out their differences to spend Thanksgiving together ... munchin' away on all the festive favorites.

Her sister documented the reunion on IG ... showing Chrisean at Blueface's crib past 10 PM ... kicking back on his sofa gamin' as she FaceTimed her sis.

Chrisean -- who welcomed a son with BF in Sept. -- added that they called it a truce in honor of Thanksgiving ... writing on X: "I'm a nice Bm."

In tandem over on his X, BF claimed the "nice guy" title ... cueing collective eye-rolls and "here we go again" comments.

But they're just playing friendly exes for now ... with the rapper taking a break from his new fiancée Jaidyn Alexis' questionable culinary efforts to -- hopefully -- savor some real home cookin' with his baby mama.

As we've heavily reported ... the exes have been at war ... with Chrisean's parenting skills recently blasted by BF after their son's birth in Sep -- even accusing her of neglecting Jr.'s need for hernia surgery.

Compasión y apoyo es lo que hay en la mente de John Oates después de haber sido sensacionalmente abofeteado con una orden de restricción de su excompañero de banda Daryl Hall la semana pasada.

El cantante de 75 años rompió su silencio después de la confusión legal, con una selfie para el Día de Acción de Gracias el jueves, en la que animó a todos a ir un poco más allá para ayudar a los que sufren en todo el mundo, pues él está "tomando el camino más alto", como si estuviera haciendo un críptico llamado a la empatía, ¿verdad?

En el pie de foto escribió: "Durante este tiempo de reflexión comunitaria y conexión con los seres queridos, no nos olvidemos de aquellos que están viviendo desafíos a nivel mundial".

Oates añadió: "A medida que nos unimos, consideren dar una mano para apoyar a los necesitados, ya sea a través de organizaciones benéficas locales o iniciativas humanitarias internacionales. Que nuestros esfuerzos colectivos contribuyan a un mundo más compasivo y solidario".

Como informamos anteriormente, la larga amistad entre el dúo de rock y soul más grande del mundo se agrió después de que Hall fuera a los tribunales de Nashville el 16 de noviembre para pedir una orden de alejamiento en contra de Oates, la que fue concedida al día siguiente y será efectiva 30 de noviembre.

El expediente está sellado y no hay información disponible al público. Pero nuestras fuentes dicen que la pelea se relaciona con las canciones que puede cantar Oates por su cuenta.

Este último tenía una serie de conciertos programados a principios de este mes, pero los dos más recientes, del 9 y 10 de noviembre, fueron cancelados y reprogramados para el próximo año y no está claro el motivo.

Parece que Oates va a tomar un descanso de los escenarios por un tiempo, o al menos hasta que se resuelvan los asuntos entre la pareja.

9:40 AM PT -- A spokesperson for Diddy tells TMZ ... "These are civil suits with fabricated claims of misconduct from over 30 years ago, which are nothing but a blatant money grab. Mr. Combs is being unfairly targeted by anonymous accusers who lie for financial gain. The New York Legislature never intended the Adult Survivors Act to be exploited."

Diddy has been sued a third time for alleged sexual assault and this time a third person is allegedly involved.

The new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, was filed anonymously -- by a Jane Doe -- who claims Diddy and singer-songwriter Aaron Hall took turns raping her and one of her friends, either in 1990 or 1991.

The lawsuit alleges the woman and her friend met Diddy at a record event, and Diddy and Hall began flirting with them, buying them drinks during the evening.

The woman claims Diddy and Hall took the woman to Hall's apartment, where she was offered more alcohol and then coerced into having sex with Diddy. She says she was traumatized, and then as she lay in the bed, Hall allegedly came in, pinned her down and raped her.

She says her friend was also raped by both men.

She says a few days later, Combs went to the woman's home and became enraged ... “He was irate and began assaulting and choking Jane Doe to the point that she passed out. Combs was searching for Jane Doe’s friend because he was worried that she would tell the girl he was with at the time what he and Hall had done to them.”

The New York lawsuit, first reported by Rolling Stone, claims she went to doctors and told her family and friends about what happened.

As you know, Cassie filed a lawsuit against Diddy last week, alleging, among other things, rape and human trafficking. The case settled the day after it was filed for an undisclosed amount.

As for the second lawsuit, a rep told us ... "This last-minute lawsuit is an example of how a well-intentioned law can be turned on its head. Ms. Dickerson's 32-year-old story is made up and not credible. Mr. Combs never assaulted her and she implicates companies that did not exist. This is purely a money grab and nothing more."

Former NY Governor Andrew Cuomo has been sued for sexual assault in New York by his former executive assistant Brittany Commisso, a claim which Cuomo has vehemently denied.

Commisso got in under the wire on New York's sexual assault law, which expired on Thanksgiving Day, essentially repeating claims that date back to 2021 ... that Cuomo attempted to engage in sexual acts with her and sexually harassed her. She alleged he made unwelcome sexual advances and sexualized comments about her appearance.

She also alleges she was the subject of "humiliating and demeaning tasks, hugs, kisses, sexual touching of the buttocks and forcible touching of the breast."

Cuomo has denied all Brittany's claims in the past and recently appeared on episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher," and, along with an author who wrote a book about the case, claimed the New York Times was targeting him and ignored obvious problems with her allegations.

Diddy está siendo acusado de drogar y agredir sexualmente a una camarógrafa hace más de tres décadas en Nueva York, pero él dice que las afirmaciones son falsas.

Según una nueva demanda obtenida por TMZ, una mujer llamada Joi Dickerson-Neal dice que era estudiante en la Universidad de Syracuse cuando conoció a Diddy en 1991. Dice que la llevó a una cita que rápidamente se convirtió en una pesadilla.

En su demanda, la mujer afirma que Diddy la llevó a comer pollo y waffles en enero de ese año al restaurante de Harlem donde trabajaba, y luego a un estudio de grabación.

La mujer afirma que sus piernas se sentían de goma y no podía ponerse de pie cuando trató de salir del carro de Diddy, lo que la llevó a creer que el cantante la había drogado en algún momento de la comida.

En la demanda, la mujer afirma que después de salir del estudio esa misma noche, Diddy la llevó a una casa, donde dice que la agredió sexualmente y la grabó en secreto.

La mujer demanda a Diddy en virtud de la Ley de Supervivientes Adultos de Nueva York, una ley que concede a las presuntas víctimas de abusos sexuales un plazo de un año para presentar una demanda civil, aunque el delito haya prescrito. El jueves vence el plazo para presentar dichas demandas, y fue entonces cuando se presentó la alegación.

Un portavoz de Diddy le dice a TMZ: "Esta demanda de último minuto es un ejemplo de cómo una ley bien intencionada puede volverse en su contra. La historia de 32 años de la Sra. Dickerson es inventada y no es creíble. El Sr. Combs nunca la agredió y ella implica a empresas que no existían. Esto es puramente un robo de dinero y nada más".

La mujer también acusa a Diddy de haber mostrado la cinta grabada en secreto a decenas de personas, afirmando que un músico le dijo una vez que Diddy le había enseñado la cinta a "todo el mundo".

La mujer afirma que cayó "en picada" después de la supuesta agresión. Abandonó Syracuse y fue diagnosticada con depresión clínica.

Diddy is being accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman on camera more than three decades ago in NYC ... but he says the claims are bogus.

According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, a woman named Joi Dickerson-Neal says she was a college student at Syracuse University in 1991 when she met Diddy. She says he took her on a date that quickly turned into a nightmare.

In her suit, the woman claims Diddy took her out for chicken and waffles in January 1991 at the Harlem restaurant where she worked, then drove her over to a recording studio.

The woman claims her legs felt rubbery and she couldn't stand when she tried getting out of Diddy's car ... leading her to believe Diddy drugged her at some point during their meal.

In the suit, the woman claims after leaving the music studio that same evening Diddy drove her to a house, where she says he sexually assaulted her and secretly recorded it.

She's suing Diddy under New York's Adult Survivors Act, a law providing alleged victims of sexual abuse a one-year window to file a civil lawsuit, even if the statute of limitations is up. Thursday marks the deadline to file such lawsuits, and that's when this suit was filed.

A spokesperson for Diddy tells TMZ ... "This last-minute lawsuit is an example of how a well-intentioned law can be turned on its head. Ms. Dickerson's 32-year-old story is made up and not credible. Mr. Combs never assaulted her and she implicates companies that did not exist. This is purely a money grab and nothing more."

The woman also accuses Diddy of showing the secretly recorded tape to scores of people ... claiming a musician once told her Diddy had shown the tape to "everyone."

The woman claims she fell into a "tailspin" after the alleged assault ... dropping out of Syracuse and being diagnosed with clinical depression.

Jamie Foxx está negando con vehemencia las acusaciones de que agredió sexualmente a una modelo, contraatacando las afirmaciones que ella está haciendo en una demanda reciente.

Un portavoz de Jamie le dice a TMZ: "El supuesto incidente nunca sucedió. En 2020, esta persona presentó una demanda casi idéntica en Brooklyn. Ese caso fue desestimado poco después. Las reclamaciones no son más viables hoy de lo que eran entonces".

Fuimos los primeros en informar de la noticia, Jamie está siendo demandado por una mujer que dice que la tocó sin consentimiento en un restaurante de Nueva York en agosto de 2015.

En la demanda, la mujer afirma que le pidió a Jamie que le sacara una foto y le dijo: "Wow, tienes ese cuerpo de supermodelo" y "hueles tan bien". Ella dice que la tiró del brazo hacia una zona trasera y empezó a pasarle las manos por todo el cuerpo, incluyendo la vagina, los pechos y el ano.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

Jamie Foxx está siendo acusado de una agresión sexual en una azotea que supuestamente ocurrió hace 8 años en NYC.

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.

Jamie Foxx is being accused of a rooftop sexual assault that allegedly happened 8 years ago in NYC.

According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Foxx was at Catch NYC & Roof in August 2015, around 11 PM, when the plaintiff arrived to be seated in the rooftop lounge and bar. She says she noticed Jamie one table away.

Around 1 AM, the plaintiff's friend asked Foxx if he'd take a photo with her and the plaintiff. She claims he said, "Sure, baby anything for you" ... and seemed intoxicated at the time. She claims he took more photos and commented, "Wow, you have that supermodel body," "You smell so good" and told her she looked like Gabrielle Union.

Jane Doe claims Foxx pulled her by the arm to the back area of the rooftop, where he allegedly placed both hands on her waist, moved them under her top and started rubbing her breasts. She claims she attempted to step away and noticed a security guard and others who saw what had happened ... but they chose to walk away.

In the docs, the plaintiff claims Foxx then allegedly slid his hand into her pants and put his fingers on and in her vagina and anus. She says her friend came over and saw what was happening, and then Jamie stopped touching her.

She claims she was injured and had to undergo medical treatment, and suffered pain, suffering and emotional distress as a result of the "sexual assault, abuse, assault and battery."

She's suing Foxx, Catch and its employees for compensatory and punitive damages.
