Controversial S#!T

Def Jam co-founder Russell Simmons is speaking out about multiple rape allegations made against him years ago ... and he's continuing to deny sexually assaulting anyone.

The music mogul opened up about the claims against him on Wednesday's episode of "In Depth with Graham Bensinger" ... saying, "I've never been violent to anybody" -- adding all his relationships "have been consensual."

He owns up to being insensitive and using "crude" language during sexual encounters over the years, but shoots down the notion he's been "forceful" with any past partners.

Further, he complains he's suffered greatly due to the allegations ... saying, "All my five charities have gone down." However, he applauds the #MeToo movement -- which fueled the heat on Simmons in 2017 -- by saying, "It's done a lot of great work for women. It sensitized men in ways they were not sensitized, and for that I'm grateful."

Simmons stops short of flat-out calling his accusers liars, and instead, suggests this is more about changing times and attitudes toward sex. He says he's had thousands of sexual partners over the years, but thinks it's not fair to compare the climate of today to how it was 40 years ago.

As we reported, multiple women came forward claiming Russell sexually assaulted them over the years. He was also sued by Jennifer Jarosik in 2018 over similar allegations -- but the case was dismissed months after she filed. Simmons maintained her allegations were "absolutely untrue."

By the way, Graham flew to Simmons' home in Bali -- where he's lived since 2017 -- to do the interview, but Simmons denies fleeing, saying ... "Because I left and I spend so much time here, people assumed that I really left and ran even though I'm back in America all the time."

Luka Doncic is apparently having a difficult time keeping his postgame interviews PG ... letting yet another F-bomb fly on Wednesday night -- although, as he's done previously, he apologized right away.

The latest potty-mouth incident from the Mavericks superstar happened just after the Dallas point guard netted 40 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in a 147-97 win over the Utah Jazz.

Doncic was asked about the importance of the W after his squad had started December with an 0-2 record -- and that's when began cussin'.

"I said before the game, you know, we just can't f*** around," Doncic said.

Almost immediately, he realized his blunder -- and told the reporter on the floor, "Ah, s***. My bad."

To his credit, the journalist helped Luka brush off the embarrassing moment -- attributing it all to the lack of sleep he's gotten due to the birth of his first child.

Of course, Doncic has been doing this since well before his newborn arrived ... in fact, it just happened in late October, when he described a player's game as "f***ing amazing."

Doncic said he was sorry for that incident as well -- looking just as sheepish as he did Wednesday night.

50 Cent se está preparando para lanzar un documental sobre Diddy y su reciente drama, pero el dinero que se obtenga del proyecto será para apoyar una buena causa.

El próximo documental del rapero de "Get Rich Or Die Tryin" busca poner de relieve las diversas acusaciones en contra de Diddy que han surgido en las últimas semanas y el miércoles el rapero anunció que los beneficios se destinarán a la caridad.

Un representante de 50 Cent y G-Unit Film and Television confirmó a TMZ Hip Hop que el documental está actualmente en desarrollo y que todos los ingresos de G-Unit Film & Television provenientes del filme se destinarán a las víctimas de agresión sexual y violación.

Para acompañar el anuncio, 50 compartió un nuevo clip de la entrevista con el ex artista de Bad Boy Mark Curry, en donde el rapero de "Bad Boy 4 Life" afirma que Diddy solía organizar fiestas y servir alcohol y píldoras en las bebidas de las mujeres presentes.

50 también lanzó algunos golpes contra su otro enemigo Rick Ross en un trailer, al usar su polémica canción "U.O.E.N.O.", cuya letra habla sobre deslizar éxtasis (molly) en las copas de champán de las mujeres cuando no están mirando.

Diddy no está dejando pasar todas estas acusaciones en su contra sin dar la pelea. Más temprano este miércoles, dijo que "ya era suficiente" y negó todas las denuncias como un intento por robarle dinero. Esto, en respuesta a una nueva demanda en su contra.

50 Cent is getting ready to roll out a documentary on Diddy and his recent drama, but the money made from the project is slated to benefit a good cause.

The "Get Rich Or Die Tryin'" rapper's upcoming documentary plans to highlight the many accusations hurled Diddy's way in the past few weeks -- and he announced on Wednesday that the profits are going to charity.

A rep for 50 Cent and G-Unit Film and Television confirmed to TMZ Hip Hop that this documentary is currently in development and all G-Unit Film & Television proceeds from this Documentary will go to victims of Sexual Assault and Rape.

To accompany the announcement, 50 shared a new interview clip featuring former Bad Boy artist Mark Curry ... where the "Bad Boy 4 Life" rapper claimed Diddy used to host parties and give spiked bottles and pills to the women in attendance.

50 also threw sly shots at his other foe Rick Ross in his teaser trailer ... by using Rozay's controversial "U.O.E.N.O." lyrics about slipping females molly in their champagne when they weren't looking.

Diddy isn't letting all this smut go to his name without a fight ... earlier today, he emphasized "enough is enough" and denied all the allegations as a money grab as a response to yet another lawsuit.

50 has yet to set a release date for the doc, but he's been posting about Diddy a lot lately, so you gotta imagine it's top of mind.

Susan Sarandon's antisemitic rant has now cost her a role in a project -- just the latest hit to her career after she bashed Jews.

The actress has been dropped from a short film she was set to star in called "Slipping Away" -- this according to the co-founder of the production company that was putting it together.

David Barroso of PTO Films tells Page Six ... "As a company, PTO Films would like to make it clear that Susan Sarandon’s views do not reflect the opinions of our organization. We were considering her for a short film, but due to her recent statements, we have decided to pursue other options."

"Slipping Away" had been listed as an upcoming title on Sarandon's IMDb page, but it's gone now. There are 4 other future productions she's attached to -- three of them are in post-production and one is still in pre-production. Unclear if her roles in those are affected yet.

Remember ... Sarandon caught heat for speaking up at a pro-Palestine rally in NYC recently, but what she said specifically ended up costing her. The antisemitic comment in question was ... "There are a lot of people afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country."

El discurso antisemita de Susan Sarandon le ha costado un papel en un proyecto y es solo el último golpe a su carrera después de que atacara a los judíos.

La actriz ha sido retirada de un cortometraje que iba a protagonizar llamado "Slipping Away", según el cofundador de la productora que lo estaba organizando.

David Barroso de PTO Films le dijo a Page Six: "Como empresa, a PTO Films le gustaría dejar claro que las opiniones de Susan Sarandon no reflejan las opiniones de nuestra organización. Estábamos considerándola para un cortometraje, pero debido a sus recientes declaraciones, hemos decidido buscar otras opciones".

"Slipping Away" figuraba como próximo título en la página IMDb de Sarandon, pero ya no está. Hay otras cuatro próximas producciones con las que está vinculada, tres de ellas en fase de postproducción y una aún en fase de preproducción. No está claro si sus papeles en esos proyectos se verán afectados todavía.

Recuerden, Sarandon recibió críticas en las redes tras hablar en una manifestación pro-Palestina en Nueva York recientemente. Lo que dijo específicamente terminó costándole caro. El comentario antisemita en cuestión fue: "Hay mucha gente que tiene miedo de ser judía en este momento y están saboreando lo que se siente ser musulmán en este país".

George Santos is saying a big "f*** you" to everyone at HBO ... vowing to go after the channel/streaming platform for developing a new movie about his controversial political career.

The recently-booted congressman sounded off to TMZ after HBO optioned the rights to Mark Chiusano's new book "The Fabulist: The Lying, Hustling, Grifting, Stealing, and Very American Legend of George Santos" ... blasting it as defamatory and misappropriating his name and likeness.

Santos says he has zero involvement in the "fictitious story" the movie plans to sell to the American people ... and is vexed about the filmmakers and book's author not speaking to him or getting authorization to write about him.

However, he says he's not concerned about how he'll be represented in the doc ... because he's working on a project that best fits his narrative. As for HBO, Santos vented, "F*** them and their chicken s*** deal with no inside information or reality of facts."

We're not sure how he'll navigate any potential comeback trail following his expulsion from Congress last week ... but ya gotta applaud the hustle.

The decision came following a controversial time in office, which included multiple felony charges.

For now, he's been busy advising his fans to "let the haters hate" on Cameo for $200 a vid.

BTW, we talked to the guy whose book this HBO film is based on ... and he tells us he tried his best to get GS to get involved in the story, to no avail though.

George Santos le está diciendo un gran "váyanse a la m***" a todos en HBO, prometiendo que irá tras el canal y la plataforma de streaming luego de que anunciaran el desarrollo de una nueva película sobre su controvertida carrera política.

El recientemente destituido congresista habló con TMZ después de que HBO adquiriera los derechos del nuevo libro de Mark Chiusano "The Fabulist: The Lying, Hustling, Grifting, Stealing, and Very American Legend of George Santos", tachándolo de difamatorio y de apropiación indebida de su nombre y de su imagen.

Santos dice que no tiene ninguna participación en la "ficticia historia" que la película planea venderle al pueblo estadounidense y está molesto con los cineastas y el autor del libro por no haber hablado con él ni haberle pedido autorización para escribir sobre su vida.

Sin embargo, dice que no le preocupa cómo será representado en el documental porque está trabajando en un proyecto que se ajusta mejor a su narrativa. En cuanto a HBO, Santos se desahogó: "Que se jod*** por no contar con la realidad de los hechos".

No estamos seguros cómo Santos navegará cualquier camino de regreso posible después de su expulsión del Congreso la semana pasada, pero hay que aplaudir el ajetreo.

La decisión se produjo después de un controvertido tiempo en el cargo, que incluyó múltiples cargos por delitos graves.

Un YouTuber fue condenado a 6 meses de prisión federal el lunes por obstrucción a la justicia después de estrellar deliberadamente su avión para avivar sus redes sociales.

Trevor Daniel Jacob, de 30 años y ex snowboarder olímpico, se enfrentaba a una pena máxima de 20 años y fue condenado a solo 6 meses por John F. Walter, juez del distrito de Estados Unidos, después de declararse culpable por el cargo de "destrucción y ocultación con la intención de obstruir una investigación federal" el 30 de junio.

En un reciente comunicado de prensa, los fiscales federales dicen que Jacob confesó haber orquestado el accidente del 24 de noviembre de 2021 y haberlo publicado un mes después en YouTube, el 23 de diciembre, con el título: "Me estrellé con mi avión".

En el video se ve a Jacob volando un avión monomotor desde el aeropuerto de Lompoc a Mammoth Lakes, antes de afirmar que el motor estaba fallando a los 30 minutos.

Las imágenes capturan a Jacob abriendo la puerta lateral y saltando desde un paracaídas justo cuando el avión se precipitaba hacia abajo para estrellarse.

Los fiscales dicen que Jacbo esperó dos días a propósito para informar del accidente a la Junta Nacional de Seguridad en el Transporte, quien le aconsejó que preservara los restos. La investigación se estancó cuando les dijo que no sabía donde se había estrellado el avión.

En su lugar, utilizó un helicóptero para levantar los restos del bosque nacional de Los Padres el 10 de diciembre de 2021, antes de desmantelarlo y deshacerse de él.

Durante su sentencia del lunes, el juez Walter le ordenó que se entregara a las autoridades antes del 29 de enero. En una declaración transmitida por su abogado, Jacobs dijo: "Esta experiencia ha sido tan humillante".

Una mujer policía de Alabama ha sido suspendida por reírse mientras utilizaba una pistola eléctrica contra un hombre negro esposado que lloraba... el angustioso video ha circulado ampliamente por Internet.

En el clip, la policía no identificada del Departamento de Policía de Reforma en el condado de Pickens fue filmado el sábado jurando y reprendiendo al hombre, que el fiscal de distrito Andy Hamlin dice que fue detenido por un cargo de tráfico de fentanilo.

Se le puede ver gritándole al hombre esposado que se tumbe en la parte delantera del vehículo con la cara hacia abajo y ordenándole que "se quede quieto".

Sin embargo, cuando el hombre responde: "No voy a hacer m***, hermano. Tengo una pistola ahí mismo", ella le saca la pistola del bolsillo y le dispara inmediatamente en la espalda.

Con el hombre claramente dolorido y llorando, ella le advierte: "¿Lo quieres otra vez? Cállate la boca".

En respuesta al veneno mostrado por la policía, el jefe de policía de Reform —Richard Black— y la alcaldesa —Melody Davis— emitieron un comunicado conjunto en el que se lee: "El Departamento de Policía de Reforma es consciente de la circulación de un video que implica la detención de un ciudadano el 2 de diciembre".

Se añadió: "El departamento está en proceso de entregar todo el material relacionado con esta detención a la Oficina de Investigación del Estado de Alabama y ha solicitado una investigación exhaustiva de las circunstancias que rodearon la detención. De acuerdo con la política de la ciudad, el agente implicado ha sido puesto en excedencia administrativa mientras se lleva a cabo la investigación".

El video ha provocado la furia generalizada en Internet, con algunos calificándolo de "repugnante" y de "abuso de poder" y otros pidiendo su detención.

A YouTuber was sentenced Monday to 6 months in federal prison for obstruction of justice after deliberately crashing his single-propeller plane ... to bolster his social media.

Trevor Daniel Jacob, 30, of Lompoc -- a former Olympic snowboarder who was facing a max sentence of 20 years -- was sentenced to just 6 months by United States District Judge John F. Walter ... after pleading guilty to one count of "destruction and concealment with the intent to obstruct a federal investigation" on June 30.

Federal prosecutors say in a recent news release that Jacob confessed to orchestrating the crash on November 24, 2021 ... posting the pre-planned event to YouTube nearly a month later on December 23, titling it, "I Crashed My Airplane."

The video sees Jacob flying a single-engine plane from Lompoc City Airport to Mammoth Lakes ... before claiming the plane's engine had failed 30 minutes in.

The footage captures Jacob opening the side door and leaping out to deploy a parachute just as the plane hurtles downward into a crash below.

Prosecutors say he purposely waited two days to report the pre-planned crash to the National Transportation Safety Board, who advised him to preserve the wreckage --- though he stalled the investigation, telling them he didn't know where the plane went down.

Instead, he used a helicopter to lift the wreckage out of the Los Padres National Forest on December 10, 2021 ... before dismantling and disposing of it.

During his sentencing Monday, Judge Walter ordered him to surrender to the authorities by Jan. 29 ... with Jacobs saying in a statement conveyed by his lawyer: "This experience has been so humbling."

A white female Alabama cop has been placed on leave for laughing while using a stun gun on a crying handcuffed Black man ... with the distressing video widely circulating online.

In the clip, the unidentified cop from the Reform Police Department in Pickens County was filmed Saturday swearing and berating the man ... who District Attorney Andy Hamlin says was arrested on a trafficking fentanyl charge.

She's seen shouting at the cuffed man to lie on the front of the vehicle with his face down and ordering him to "stay still."

However, when the man responds, "I ain't doing s***, bro. I got a gun right there," she takes the gun out of his pocket and immediately deploys the stun gun into his back.

With the man clearly in pain and crying, she warns: "Do you want it again? Shut your b***h a** up!"

In response to the venom shown by the cop, reform police Chief Richard Black and Mayor Melody Davis released a joint statement ... reading: "The Reform Police Department is aware of a video circulating involving a citizen's arrest on December 2."

It was added: "The department is in the process of turning over all materials related to this arrest to the Alabama State Bureau of Investigation and has requested a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the arrest. In accordance with City Policy, the officer involved has been placed on administrative leave while the investigation is conducted."

The clip has drawn widespread fury online ... with some labeling it "sickening" and an "abuse of power" and others calling for her arrest.

Kelsey Grammer's recent BBC interview was short-lived as soon as he started talking about Donald Trump -- and it wasn't the outlet's decision ... so says one of their radio hosts.

Justin Webb was talking to KG on the air Monday for BBC Radio 4's 'Today' show ... and they were talking all about this new 'Frasier' reboot that's coming to Paramount+ -- and at one point, the host brought up Grammer's famous support of ex-President Trump.

Webb said he knows Grammer once *was* a Trumper, and asked if he still was even all these years later -- to which Grammer replied, yes indeed!

Grammer didn't really elaborate, saying he'd just let it lie there -- but in the next breath, Webb picks up the chat -- which was clearly pre-recorded -- to claim Kelsey actually had a lot more to say on the subject ... suggesting the Paramount honchos shut it all down.

Apparently, KG was excited that Webb brought Trump up ... although, it doesn't sound like Paramount's PR people were thrilled about it at all, and wanted to get back on message.

Webb says Grammer offered up some rationale on why he still backs Trump, even heading into the 2024 election -- but since he's now involved with Paramount and co. on this new show, it doesn't seem we'll get to hear the why of it all.

Blueface says his fatherly instincts were forced to kick in early in the morn ... this after he allegedly got word that Chrisean had left their son in the care of her BFF.

In the wee hours of Monday, Blueface went live on IG while holding his son, Chrisean Jr., and appeared to have taken the infant from Chrisean's friend Marsh ... who was on the phone attempting to contact someone. It looks like she was babysitting the kid for mom.

Blueface claims Chrisean abandoned her motherly duties for a booty call ... called the entire scene irresponsible on her part -- labeling her a "booth bitch" for allegedly ditching their kid in the middle of the night.

The "Thotiana" rapper's anger didn't end with Chrisean ... he promised Marsh that his fiancee Jaidyn Alexis was waiting for her at another destination to give her the beats, but the camera cut off before any such violence could be captured.

Chrisean has yet to respond to BF's bad parenting claims but she did post her latest tracks after being up late in the studio -- juggling mom and rap life has its challenges!!!

The last time we spoke to Cardi B, she gave Chrisean life nuggets on how to balance motherhood and her personal life.

Jussie Smollett was all smiles over the weekend, chowing down with friends on the heels of losing his appeal in his hate crime hoax case.

Jussie hit up Nobu Malibu for a late-night supper and didn't seem bothered by anything -- at least on the surface.

Our sources tell us Smollett is still receiving outpatient treatment through a rehab treatment facility.

As we reported, an Illinois appeals court turned thumbs down on his appeal Friday by a 2-1 vote. Jussie's lawyers say they will try to take it up with the Illinois Supreme Court, although there's no guarantee that the Court will hear the case.

If things stand the way they are, Jussie will have to complete his 150-day sentence for faking a hate crime on the streets of Chicago back in 2019. He served 6 days before being released pending the disposition of his appeal.

Billie Eilish aparentemente no tenía intención de mostrarse como LGBTQ + este fin de semana, pero parece que no tuvo opción, todo por culpa de un reportero que dio un gran salto.

La estrella del pop publicó una serie de fotos y videos de sus agitados últimos dos días. Comenzó con una foto en la que se mostraba con sus pantalones y ropa interior cerca de sus rodillas, luego hizo una transición hasta unos clips en los que se le veía compartiendo en el evento de brunch Hitmakers de Variety el sábado.

Su pie de foto es revelador, se puede leer: "Gracias Variety por mi premio y también por exponerme en una alfombra roja a las 11 am en lugar de hablar de cualquier otra cosa que realmente importe. Me gustan los chicos y chicas, porfavor déjenme en paz al respecto. Literalmente, ¿a quién le importa?".

Por supuesto, ella se refiere a la entrevista que hizo con la colaboradora de Variety Tiana DeNicola a principios de ese día, donde se le preguntó directamente si tenía la intención de salir en la portada de Variety de principios de semana.

Sin duda fue una interacción incómoda, Billie inició las cosas diciendo que todavía tenía miedo de las mujeres y pensaba que eran bonitas, haciéndose eco de su cita de la pieza de Variety y también riéndose de ello en el momento.

DeNicola entonces siguió y aparentemente pensó que Billie había revelado algo sobre su sexualidad. Fue entonces cuando le preguntó si había tenido la intención de compartir su identidad LGBTQ +.

Billie dijo que no necesariamente, añadiendo que se imaginaba que todo el mundo ya lo sabía. En ese momento, varios medios de comunicación corrieron a mostrar su punto de vista al respecto, confirmando el hecho de que había salido del closet, sin embargo, a Billie no parece haberle gustado cómo salieron las cosas.

DeNicola no ha respondido a las quejas de Billie, ni tampoco Variety. Es difícil saber hasta qué punto Billie está enfadada por todo esto - ella no parece darle mucha importancia a "salir del closet", pero el hecho de que ella siente que fue sacada del armario es un gran problema.

Como Billie misma dice, le gustan las chicas y los chicos, pero no quiere ponerle una etiqueta a las cosas y definitivamente no parece que quiera seguir hablando de ello.
