Crime & Arrests

Gypsy Rose Blanchard rang in the new year with a kiss and some confetti ... and TMZ has it all on video.

Gypsy and her husband, Ryan, shot off confetti and smooched as the clock struck midnight ... embracing before sharing the moment with family.

Family sources tell TMZ … Gypsy had a last-minute NYE bash in Louisiana, making the most of it with a small party at her and Ryan's home.

Gypsy's dad, Rod Blanchard, and her stepmom, Kristy, were also in the house ... with Kristy helping Gypsy get ready, curling her hair.

GRB even had press on nails ... and we're told Ryan bought her NYE dress and shoes.

Our sources say Gypsy's dad and husband grilled steak together ... and the tender family moment warmed her heart ... after all, this is the family she's always wanted.

Our sources say Gypsy's enjoying a low-key New Year's Day ... the first thing she did was fold clothes and put things away in her home ... but we're told it's these simple tasks that make her feel grateful for her new life post-prison.

As for Gypsy's resolutions for 2024 ... we're told she wants to enjoy being in the moment, believe in herself, be more confident and not worry about what others say or think about her.

Remember ... Gypsy and Ryan were planning to go to the Kansas City Chiefs game Sunday for a chance to meet Taylor Swift, but her parole officers wanted her out of Missouri and she went back home to Louisiana.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard already has a titillating job offer on the table following her release from prison ... a strip club's hoping the ex-con would do her big reveal on its stage.

Dream Girls Detroit fired off a job offer to Gypsy ... the club wants to show it's there to help people who ran afoul of the law post-confinement.

The club's general manager, Dan Wilhelm, says, "We stand in solidarity with everyone who is showing support to Gypsy Rose as she embarks on her new life" ... adding the cash she can make will help her "get the tools needed to be able to live a quality life in the real world."

Job offer aside, Dream Girls is also looking to host a release party for the 32-year-old ... something they're calling "Let's Get Tipsy With Gypsy."

As you know, Gypsy was released from the Chillicothe Correctional Center in Chillicothe, MO early Thursday morning -- and has already spent time shopping for shoes, posting selfies, and celebrating with family.

She's also rented out a cozy Airbnb in Kansas City ... remember, she had tickets to the Chiefs' NYE game and was hoping to meet Taylor Swift, but she was unable to attend because her parole officer told her she had to leave the state.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard tiene una oferta de trabajo excitante sobre la mesa después de su salida de la cárcel... un club de striptease espera que la ex-convicta debute en su escenario.

Dream Girls Detroit le disparó una oferta de trabajo a Gypsy, el club quiere demostrar que está ahí para ayudar a las personas que vienen saliendo de prisión.

El gerente general del club, Dan Wilhelm, dice: "Solidarizamos con todos los que le muestran su apoyo a Gypsy Rose mientras se embarca en su nueva vida", añadiendo que el dinero en efectivo puede ayudarle a "obtener las herramientas necesarias para poder vivir una vida de calidad en el mundo real".

Dream Girls también está buscando organizar una fiesta de lanzamiento para la recién salida de 32 años, algo que están llamando "Let's Get Tipsy With Gypsy".

Como ustedes saben, Gypsy fue liberada del Centro Correccional de Chillicothe la madrugada del jueves y ya ha pasado el tiempo de comprando de zapatos, publicando selfies y celebrando con la familia.

También ha alquilado un acogedor Airbnb en Kansas City, recordemos que ella tenía entradas para el juego de los Chiefs NYE y tenía la esperanza de conocer a Taylor Swift, pero no pudo asistir porque su oficial de libertad condicional le dijo que tenía que salir del estado.

Former NFL star Muhammad Wilkerson was arrested again last week ... after cops say he drove drunk with a loaded gun tucked beneath his car seat.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, Wilkerson was initially pulled over by police in Morris County, New Jersey back on Dec. 22 at 6:41 AM.

During the stop, cops suspected he was under the influence ... saying a strong odor of alcohol was emanating from the former New York Jets pass rusher's ride.

In the docs, cops say at one point during questioning, Wilkerson told them he was coming from a New York City club ... and a short time later, they say he failed field sobriety tests.

Wilkerson was placed under arrest -- and afterward, cops said during a search of his vehicle they not only found an open bottle of Don Julio tequila ... but also an FN 509 Tactical Handgun with 11 hollow point bullets inside of it.

Police said Wilkerson told them the firearm was purchased in Florida -- but he did not provide them proper documentation.

Court records show Wilkerson has since been tagged with a bevy of charges in the case -- including operating a vehicle while under the influence and unlawful possession of a handgun.

He's due in court for hearings on the matter next month.

This, of course, is not the first time Wilkerson has been accused of drinking and driving ... he was arrested for DWI in 2020 and 2019 as well.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is back home in Louisiana ... making it official, she'll miss out on a possible meeting with Taylor Swift after sources close told us she was asked to leave the state of Missouri.

Sporting a New Orleans Saints jersey, Gypsy posted a short video Sunday thanking fans for their support across her platforms on social media. Gypsy says it's nice to be home, and enjoying a day outside celebrating her freedom.

Already a marketing whiz, Gypsy announces she's got a lot of big things on the way, including her upcoming docuseries on LifeTime and her recently released ebook ... which she calls a reflection on everything she learned during her time behind bars.

TMZ broke the story, Gypsy and her husband had planned on attending Sunday's Chiefs game in Kansas City where she had hoped to possibly run into Taylor Swift -- who is likely to be in attendance cheering on boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

That plan was sidelined Saturday, as sources close to Gypsy tell us her parole officers wanted her out of the state ... unclear exactly why, but our sources say local officials contacted the parole team to tell them they wanted her out of MO stat.

It's possible they felt Gypsy's presence in Missouri could pose as a safety risk, especially if she had plans to attend a game with tens of thousands of others.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard está de vuelta en casa en Louisiana, haciéndolo oficial... se perderá un posible encuentro con Taylor Swift después de que fuentes cercanas nos dijeron que se le pidió que abandonara el estado de Missouri.

Luciendo una camiseta de los New Orleans Saints, Gypsy publicó un breve video el domingo agradeciendo a los fans por su apoyo a través de sus plataformas en las redes sociales. Gypsy dice que es bueno estar en casa y disfrutar de un día al aire libre celebrando su libertad.

Gypsy anuncia que vienen un montón de cosas grandes en camino, incluyendo su próxima docuserie en LifeTime y su libro electrónico recientemente publicado, el que ella llama una reflexión sobre todo lo que aprendió durante su tiempo entre rejas.

TMZ publicó la historia, Gypsy y su marido habían planeado asistir al partido de los Chiefs del domingo en Kansas City, donde ella tenía la esperanza de encontrarse con Taylor Swift, ya que probablemente esté presente animando a su novio, Travis Kelce.

Ese plan fue dejado de lado el sábado, ya que fuentes cercanas a Gypsy nos dicen que sus oficiales de libertad condicional la querían fuera del estadio, no está claro exactamente por qué, pero nuestras fuentes dicen que los funcionarios locales se contactaron con el equipo de libertad condicional para decirles que la querían fuera de MO stat.

Es posible que sintieran que la presencia de Gypsy en Missouri podría suponer un riesgo para la seguridad, especialmente si tenía planes de asistir a un partido con decenas de miles de personas.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard se ha convertido en una gigante de las redes sociales, acumulando millones de seguidores y posiblemente preparándose para hacer una fortuna.

Gypsy tiene ahora la friolera de 4.7 millones de seguidores en Instagram. Acaba de publicar sus cuentas de Snapchat y TikTok en su página de Instagram. Además, ella tiene 1.4 millones de fans TikTok.

Ella publicó esto: "Acabo de unirme a SnapChat, estos avatares son impresionantes!" También realizó un especial de Lifetime.

Ella tenía una página de Instagram, pero no era nada fuera de lo común. De eso a 1.2 millones hay mucha diferencia, y lo ha hecho en un período de tiempo muy corto.

En cuanto al futuro... ella se está preparando para hacer un paquete en redes sociales, lo cual es interesante. Antes de que la encerraran casi nadie podía ganarse la vida en las redes sociales, pero los tiempos cambian.

También está trabajando en algún tipo de programa/documental/reality show para A&E.

Por ahora, Gypsy está disfrutando de las cosas simples de la libertad después de cumplir siete años entre las rejas por el asesinato de su madre. Se hace selfies y visita McDonalds y Burger King.

​Gypsy Rose Blanchard has become an instant social media giant since her release ... amassing millions of followers and possibly setting herself up to make a fortune.

Gypsy now has an eye-popping 4.7 million followers on Instagram. She's just pushed both her Snapchat and TikTok accounts on her Insta page. BTW she has 1.4 million TikTok fans.

She posted this ... "Just joined SnapChat. These avatars are awesome!" Also – she pushed the Lifetime special on there yesterday as well.

She had an Instagram page, but it was static at 1.2M upon her release, so she's gained millions in a super-compressed period of time.

As for the future ... she's setting herself up to make a bundle on social media, which is interesting. When she was locked up, almost no one could make a living on social, but times change.

In the money department, she's also working on some kind of show/documentary/reality show for A&E.

For now, Gypsy is enjoying the simple things of freedom after serving 7 years behind bars for the murder of her mother. She's trying her hand at selfies, and hitting up McDonalds and Burger King.

We've got a look at what's on the docket for Danny Masterson for at least his first 90 days in prison ... and it looks like the disgraced actor will be on a short leash.

According to the official procedures for the prison, Masterson has to go through a reception and classification process that started Wednesday when he entered North Kern State Prison in Delano, CA -- a process that could take up to 90 days.

TMZ has learned ... during this time, Masterson will be in what's called privilege group U, and there are strict restrictions ... including no family visits, limited entertainment access and no access to personal property.

According to the CA Department of Corrections, he also gets one phone call within the first week of entering the facility, and then for the remainder of his time in group U he only gets one call per month.

He still has access to things like the yard and recreation services, but he won't get his full prison privileges until the classification process has finished.

Sources close to the situation say Masterson demonstrated "exceptional strength of mind and spirit" during his time in the L.A. County jail ... prior to his transfer to North Kern, and he's feeling hopeful about his chances of winning his appeal.

Tenemos un vistazo de la rutina de Danny Masterson en sus primeros 90 días encerrado en la cárcel, y parece que el actor caído en desgracia se mantendrá con la correa corta.

De acuerdo con los procedimientos oficiales de la prisión, Masterson tiene que pasar por un proceso de recepción y clasificación que se inició cuando entró en North Kern State Prison en Delano, California el miércoles, y el proceso podría durar hasta 90 días.

TMZ ha indagado que durante este tiempo, Masterson estará en lo que se llama grupo privilegiado U, y tiene serias restricciones durante este período, como por ejemplo, nada de visitas familiares, acceso limitado a entretenimiento y nada de acceso a sus propiedades personales.

Según el Departamento Correccional de California, también recibirá una llamada durante la primera semana tras su ingreso en el centro y luego solo una al mes por el tiempo que esté en el grupo U.

Danny todavía tiene acceso a cosas como el patio y los servicios de recreación, pero no obtendrá sus privilegios de prisión completa hasta que el proceso de clasificación termine.

Fuentes cercanas a la situación dicen que Masterson demostró una "fuerza mental y de espíritu excepcional" durante su estadía en la prisión del condado de Los Ángeles antes de su estancia en la cárcel y se siente esperanzado de sus posibilidades de ganar su apelación.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard has overstayed her welcome in Missouri post-prison, 'cause she's gotten the ol' GTFOH from cops ... dashing any hope of a Swiftie meetup, for now.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the recently-released ex-con -- who was cut loose into the wild Thursday from a state prison there in the area -- was recently notified by her parole officer that she and her loved ones needed to get outta Missouri.

The reasoning behind this is a bit unclear, but what we do know is that Gypsy was told local law enforcement officials spoke to the state corrections unit and notified them they wanted her gone ASAP. We're told this might be because of security risks her continued presence might present to the KC area ... where she's been hanging out for the past 24 hours or so.

It's true ... GRB has become a local celebrity during her brief time in town, taking photos with fans, and stopping/chatting with paps that have been hounding her. During the time she's been out behind bars, Gypsy has most certainly drawn a helluva lot of attention.

In any case, our sources tell us Gyspy's heard 'em loud and clear ... and is currently on her way to her husband's home in Louisiana -- which, of course, means she won't be at Sunday's Chiefs game.

We're told Gypsy is bummed about this development, as she and her hubby had plans to attend for a while now -- with tickets in hand dating back months and even some Chiefs merch ready to go that she got for Christmas. With that said, our sources say she gets it and is grateful to be freed.

As we reported ... Gypsy was hoping to meet Taylor Swift while at Arrowhead, with a Hail Mary shout-out that she hoped TS would see. Of course, it was a long shot to begin with.

Now, in terms of why Gypsy was allowed to roam around Kansas City to begin with -- we're told it had to do with the timing of her release (very, very early) which led MDOC to allow her to stay overnight in town at an Airbnb ... where her family partied.

Like we said, she's been living it up since getting back on the outside -- now, she'll just have to do it another state ... 'cause Missouri's told her to beat it, and she absolutely did.

Pretty crazy 48 hours for Gypsy, but it's nothing compared to her life story in general -- which, BTW, is going to be spotlighted in a new Lifetime special that's airing on Jan. 5.

The Prison Confessions of Gypsy Rose Blanchard is a 3-night event that'll touch on the whole saga ... dating back to when she helped plan the murder of her abusive mother -- and it features a first-person perspective from GRB herself on her own newsworthy story.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard ha sobrepasado su estancia en Missouri luego de salir de prisión, porque los policías le han dicho que se vaya inmediatamente, frustrando cualquier esperanza de tener un encuentro con Taylor Swift, por ahora.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que la ex-convicta, que fue liberada el jueves de una prisión estatal en la zona, fue notificada recientemente por su oficial de libertad condicional de que ella y sus seres queridos necesitan salir de Missouri.

La razón detrás de esto es un poco confusa, pero lo que sí sabemos es que los funcionarios encargados de hacer cumplir la ley local hablaron con la unidad correccional del estado, quienes les informaron que querían que Gypsy se fuera lo antes posible. Nos dicen que esto podría ser debido a los riesgos de seguridad que su presencia podría suponer para la zona de Kansas City, donde ha estado pasando el rato durante las últimas 24 horas más o menos.

Es cierto, Gypsy se ha convertido en una celebridad local durante su breve estancia en la ciudad, sacándose fotos con los fans y parando a conversar con los paparazzi que la han estado acosando. Durante el tiempo que ha estado fuera ha llamado mucho la atención.

En cualquier caso, nuestras fuentes nos dicen que Gyspy ha entendido el mensaje alto y claro y actualmente se encuentra camino a casa con su marido en Louisiana. Por supuesto, eso significa que no estará en el partido del domingo con los Chiefs.

Nos dicen que Gypsy está deprimida por como se dieron las cosas, ya que ella y su marido tenían planes de asistir desde hace un tiempo. Tenían entradas compradas de hace algunos meses e incluso algo de merchandasing de los Chiefs que ella había conseguido para la Navidad. Dicho esto, nuestras fuentes dicen que ella lo entiende y está agradecida de ser liberada.

Como hemos informado, Gypsy tenía la esperanza de conocer a Taylor Swift, mientras estuviera en el estadio Arrowhead y hacer un saludo que esperaba que Taylor Swift viera. Por supuesto, era una posibilidad remota para empezar.

Ahora, en términos de por qué se le permitió a Gypsy vagar por Kansas City, para empezar nos dicen que tenía que ver con el momento de su liberación (muy, muy temprano) que llevó al departamento de Correccionales a permitirle pasar la noche en la ciudad en un AirBnb, donde su familia hizo una fiesta.

Como hemos dicho, ella lo ha estado pasando bien desde su regreso al mundo exterior. Ahora, solo tendrá que hacerlo desde otro estado, ya que Missouri le dijo que se fuera y ella obedeció de inmediato.

Estas 48 intensas horas no son nada comparado con la historia de su vida, que, por cierto, va a ser el centro de un nuevo especial de Lifetime que se emite el 5 de enero.

'Las confesiones de la prisión de Gypsy Rose Blanchard' es un evento de 3 noches que tocará toda la saga y que se remonta a cuando ella ayudó a planear el asesinato de su abusiva madre y cuenta con una perspectiva en primera persona de Gypsy en esta historia.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is getting a true taste of freedom ... at her favorite fast food restaurants!

The recently sprung ex-con hit up a Burger King in DeQueen, Arkansas Friday night, stopping to take a pic with one of her supporters.

Gypsy looks relaxed and happy, just days after her release after serving 7 years behind bars for the murder of her mom.

It's not her first fast food adventure post-prison ... earlier in the day she hit up a McDonald's, waiting patiently in the drive-thru line for a burger.

Gypsy has been experiencing freedom in some pretty basic ways ... going shoe shopping, taking selfies -- things like that.

We're told this weekend she's headed to Kansas City for the Chiefs game against the Cincinnati Bengals on New Year's Eve. We're guessing football isn't the motivator ... she's a huge Taylor Swift fan and hopes to meet her.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard está literalmente disfrutando cómo se siente su nueva libertad, ¡en sus restaurantes favoritos de comida rápida!

La recientemente ex-convicta fue a un Burger King en DeQueen, Arkansas el viernes por la noche y se tomó una foto con uno de sus seguidores.

Gypsy se veía relajada y feliz, a pocos días de su liberación después de cumplir una condena de siete años tras las rejas por el asesinato de su madre.

No es su primera aventura en un restaurante de comida rápida después que salió. Más temprano en el día había ido a un McDonald y había esperado pacientemente en la fila de autoservicio para una hamburguesa.

Gypsy ha estado experimentando la libertad de algunas maneras muy simples, como ir a comprar zapatos, tomarse selfies y cosas por el estilo.

Nos dicen que este fin de semana irá a Kansas City para el partido de los Chiefs contra los Bengals en la víspera de Año Nuevo. Estamos adivinando que el fútbol no es su principal motivación, ella es una gran fan de Taylor Swift y espera conocerla.

Jussie Smollett's legal troubles are far from over ... but it looks as though he's working overtime to get his career back on track.

The troubled actor was seen reuniting with "Empire" showrunner Brett Mahoney ... with the duo sharing a hug Thursday outside Crossroads Kitchen in Los Angeles.

The sighting triggered speculation of a possible future collab ... though any TV comeback is realistically a long way off for Jussie as he deals with his personal and legal worries.

Sources told us just before Xmas ... Jussie was still in the midst of a rehab stint for substance abuse ... after checking himself into an outpatient facility in back in October.

He recently lost his appeal after being convicted for lying to cops about the fake Chicago hate crime attack back in 2019.

Jussie's lawyers say they'll continue their fight in the Illinois Supreme Court, although there's no guarantee the Court will hear the case.

If the Court turns thumbs down on hearing the case, Jussie could return to jail as soon as January to complete his 150 day sentence ... he's only served 6 days.

Former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Rashaan Evans was arrested on Tuesday ... and on Friday, cops released his mug shot -- and you can see, he was not thrilled to have been thrown behind bars.

The 28-year-old -- who was cut by America's Team on Wednesday following the arrest -- took the photo hours after cops placed him in handcuffs after officers say he reeked of weed in his 2021 Ram 1500 near the Cowboys' practice facility in Frisco, Texas.

According to police documents, cops say at around 10:46 PM they drove by Evans, who was in the driver's seat of his car ... and smelled a strong odor of marijuana.

They claim when they eventually questioned the football player, he told them there was "just a nugget" in the ride.

Cops say, however, that when they searched the Ram, they found burnt marijuana residue, marijuana cigarettes, rolling papers and a vacuum-sealable bag containing three separate baggies of marijuana.

They say the baggies weighed a total of 2.240 ounces.

Evans was ultimately booked on a misdemeanor charge of marijuana possession. And, hours later, the Cowboys moved on from him.

Evans had just joined Dallas' roster in October. He had played in nine games so far this season -- including the Cowboys' loss to Miami on Sunday -- tallying nine total tackles.
