Crime & Arrests

Drake Bell está dejando las cosas claras respecto a las denuncias de acoso infantil en su contra de hace unos años, y básicamente dice que fue un malentendido relacionado mensajes de texto.

La ex estrella infantil estuvo en el episodio del martes del pódcast "Not Skinny But Not Fat" para explicar todo el asunto. Es la primera vez que toca el tema en profundidad y en detalle desde su propia perspectiva. Es interesante, ya que se declaró culpable y al mismo tiempo niega cualquier delito real.

Drake explica que se había estado comunicando con alguien en línea y en plena conversación, se dio cuenta que las cosas estaban mal.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is real busy making up for lost time with her ex-fiancé, Ken Urker ... TMZ got all the deets on their Louisiana rendezvous.

GRB linked up with her former flame in NOLA this week -- and we're told the exes did a whole lot more than just getting matching husky tattoos in Cut Off, LA.

Sources close to Gypsy tell TMZ ... Ken flew Sunday from Texas to Louisiana to visit and support his ex amid her separation from Ryan Anderson.

Drake Bell is setting the record straight regarding the child endangerment claims against him from a few years back -- and he basically says it was a case of DMs gone awry.

The former child star went on Tuesday's episode of the "Not Skinny But Not Fat" podcast to explain the whole thing ... the first time he's done so in-depth and in detail from his own perspective. It's interesting ... while he pleaded guilty, he denies any real wrongdoing.

Take a listen ... Drake explains that he had been communicating with someone online that he shouldn't have -- something he says he came to realize a little too late.

Rod Wave found himself in a jail cell this week -- this after cops arrested him on a firearm charge ... even though his attorneys are calling BS.

The rapper was booked into Manatee County Jail Wednesday on two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon -- and he posed for a mug shot on his way in. The exact circumstances that led to RW's bust are still unclear at this point.

In any case -- his attorneys, Bradford Cohen and Mark Rankin, tell us ... "The officers that made the arrest are incorrect. He is not a convicted felon and has never been a convicted felon. We would have hoped additional research would have been done prior to them filing these charges."

Patrick Mahomes Sr. has been officially hit with a criminal charge for allegedly driving drunk earlier this year ... Texas prosecutors just indicted him for felony DWI.

According to court records, Mahomes Sr. was slapped with the count -- driving while intoxicated third or more -- on Thursday.

If convicted, he'll face up to 10 years behind bars ... as well as a fine of up to $10,000.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard isn't hooking up with her ex-fiancé, Ken Urker, despite getting matching tattoos with him -- but he does have her best interest at heart -- much more so than her husband ... so says Ken's mom anyway.

Raina Williams tells TMZ that Ken recently flew from his home in Texas to go hang out with Gypsy in Louisiana amid her ongoing separation from Ryan Anderson -- and the reason, we're told, is because he wanted to be there for support ... and serve as a rock for GRB.

Ken's mother says he told her he'd always be there for her, and even though they're not together anymore ... we're told Ken felt compelled to be with Gypsy during this hard time.

Courtney Clenney was in a panic and asking officers if her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, was dead after she'd stabbed him ... now seen in newly-released body cam footage.

The video was just released by authorities in Miami, and it shows the moment officers arrived at their apartment in April 2022 -- only to find Clenney bloodied and freaking out ... with one officer telling her to calm down and to stay seated.

Clenney is seen as clear as day here, and she's asking for them to check on Christian ... repeatedly wondering if he's dead or not.

Connor Smith -- a former MTV star from 2015's "Are You the One?" -- has been arrested in Florida for allegedly trying to hook up with an underage girl ... bringing a year-long manhunt to an end.

The 33-year-old was booked into custody Thursday afternoon, according to an inmate log from Pinellas County, Florida -- following reported sightings of him from the Sunshine State.

The ex-reality show contestant had been wanted in the state of Illinois since February 2023 ... where the Lake County Sheriff's Office said he interacted with an undercover detective online for weeks, thinking the cop was a 15-year-old girl.

1:09 PM PT -- TMZ rastreó la cuenta privada de Facebook de Gypsy Rose Blanchard, y confirmamos que decidió cambiar su estatus a "separada" en su estado civil.

10:26 AM PT -- Parece que los problemas matrimoniales que Gypsy puede o no puede estar teniendo en este momento se emitirán en otro proyecto televisivo, con la misma red con la que ya se asoció.

Un representante de Lifetime le dice a TMZ: "Gypsy Rose Blanchard ha compartido abiertamente su vida con Lifetime y nuestras cámaras desde el momento en que le fue concedida su libertad condicional.  Su historia, incluyendo su relación con Ryan, seguirá desarrollándose en "Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up", que se estrenará en junio en Lifetime".

Gypsy Rose Blanchard y Ryan Scott Anderson se están separando, según se ha reportado.

1:09 PM PT -- TMZ has tracked down Gypsy Rose Blanchard's private Facebook account, and she lists herself as being "separated" on her relationship status.

10:26 AM PT -- It sounds like whatever marital issues Gypsy may or may not be going through right now will be aired out on another TV venture ... and it's with the same network she already teamed up with.

A rep for Lifetime tells TMZ ... "Gypsy Rose Blanchard has openly shared her life with Lifetime and our cameras from the moment she was paroled.  Her story, including her relationship with Ryan, will continue to unfold on Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up, debuting this June on Lifetime."

Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ryan Scott Anderson are reportedly dunzo.

Suge Knight se refirió a las investigaciones policiales que implican a Diddy, particularmente a las redadas federales que se hicieron en las casas del magnate de Bad Boy esta semana.

TMZ Hip Hop obtuvo este nuevo comentario de Suge, que nos dicen, es un extracto de su podcast "Collect Call" con Dave Mays, y el fundador de Death Row está claramente convencido de que su legendario rival está destinado a la prisión, al igual que él.

Suge dice que sus pensamientos y oraciones están con los hijos de Diddy, en particular con Justin y King Combs, quienes fueron detenidos y esposados, pero no arrestados, mientras los federales llevaban a cabo el allanamiento en Los Ángeles.

Suge Knight isn't above kicking a man when he's down, especially when the man is Diddy ... because he has an ominous reaction to the federal raids on the Bad Boy mogul's homes.

TMZ Hip Hop obtained this new commentary from Suge -- we're told it's an outtake from his "Collect Call" podcast with Dave Mays -- and the Death Row founder is clearly convinced his longtime rival is destined for a prison ... just like him.

Suge says his thoughts and prayers are with Diddy’s kids ... particularly Justin and King Combs, who were detained in handcuffs -- but not arrested -- in L.A. while feds conducted the raid.

El fundador de FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, está en problemas... el juez lo ha condenado a 25 años de cárcel por estafar a clientes e inversores en su caso federal de fraude con criptomonedas.

El juez Lewis Kaplan dictó la sentencia fuerte jueves en Manhattan, y aunque no ordenó la restitución -debido al gran número de víctimas afectadas por el negocio de Sam- el juez ordenó un decomiso de más de $11 mil millones.

Explicando la larga sentencia y la multa, el juez Kaplan dijo: "Este hombre estará en condiciones de hacer algo muy malo en el futuro, y no es un riesgo trivial".

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is going away for a long time ... the judge hit him with a 25-year sentence for scamming customers and investors in his federal cryptocurrency fraud case.

Judge Lewis Kaplan handed down the hefty sentence Thursday in Manhattan, and although he didn't order restitution -- due to the large number of victims impacted by SBF's biz -- the judge did order a forfeiture of more than $11 billion.

Explaining the lengthy sentence and fine, Judge Kaplan said ... "This man will be in a position to do something very bad in the future, and it’s not a trivial risk.”

El socio de Diddy fue arrastrado afuera del aeropuerto de Miami en esposas cuando él y el magnate del rap fueron interceptados por los federales, y ahora se puede ver en video.

WSVN 7News obtuvo imágenes de la cámara del cuerpo que muestra al chico de 25 años, Brendan Paul siendo llevado por agentes policiales desde el Aeropuerto Ejecutivo de Opa Locka hasta un vehículo donde un policía lo abrochó en el asiento trasero.

Como se puede ver, Paul fue obediente e iba callado mientras era llevado a la cárcel, sin decir mucho y sin que le preguntaran mucho tampoco.

Diddy's associate got hauled away from the Miami airport he and the rap mogul got stopped at this week in handcuffs while being arrested ... which can now be seen on video.

WSVN 7News obtained body cam footage that shows 25-year-old Brendan Paul being led away by police officers Monday from the Opa Locka Executive Airport and placed into a cruiser, where a cop buckled him into the backseat.

As you can see, Paul was compliant and silent as they took him to jail ... not saying much, and not being asked much either. Before they throw him in the car, they pat him down.
