Crime & Arrests

Kim Kardashian went back to the White House to advocate for criminal justice reform -- only here, it was with Biden's camp ... proving she's loyal to the cause, and not to any party.

The reality star -- who has regularly used her platform to advocate for this -- met with Vice President Kamala Harris Thursday for a roundtable discussion after POTUS granted clemency to 16 people previously convicted of nonviolent drug offenses.

As Kim spoke with the Veep and some of the pardoned individuals, she made it clear her only agenda was to advocate for prison reform, no matter who's in office ... and she thanked the recently released subjects for sharing their stories and putting a spotlight on the issue.

Harvey Weinstein's NYC rape conviction getting overturned has him so elated it's reduced him to tears as he sits in prison.

Weinstein's rep Juda Engelmayer tells TMZ he chatted with his client twice today, and Harvey's over the moon about the news of the Court of Appeals ruling Thursday ... which determined his constitutional rights were violated back in 2020 during the trial.

However, Juda says the disgraced movie mogul -- currently incarcerated in an upstate NY State prison -- is only cautiously optimistic about the court's ruling, and knows he has a difficult road ahead of him, especially since it remains to be seen if and when he'll be prosecuted again.

A bus driver found himself in the middle of a brutal attack last week, which was captured on video ... and which resulted in a huge crash, not to mention an arrest.

Cops allege passenger Tihron Harrison flipped into a rage Saturday while riding one of the city buses -- this after he apparently asked to be dropped off at a certain cross street, only to be rebuffed by the driver ... who told him he could leave him at the next designated stop.

As a result, Harrison flipped out and started going after the driver ... reaching out around the protective plexiglass and punching the driver's face, all while the bus is still in motion.

Un conductor de autobús se encontró en medio de un brutal ataque la semana pasada, que fue capturado en video, y dio lugar a un gran accidente, por no hablar de un arresto.

La policía alega que el pasajero Tihron Harrison perdió totalmente el control el sábado mientras viajaba en uno de los autobuses de la ciudad. Esto, después de que al parecer le pidiera al conductor que lo dejara en una determinada calle, cosa que fue rechazada por el conductor, quien le dijo que podía dejarlo en la siguiente parada designada.

Como resultado, Harrison enloqueció y decidió abalanzarse en contra de él. Abrió el plexiglás de protección y hasta lo golpeó en la cara, mientras el bus seguía en movimiento.

7:28 AM PT -- A rep for the Manhattan D.A.'s Office tells TMZ ... "We will do everything in our power to retry this case, and remain steadfast in our commitment to survivors of sexual assault."

Harvey Weinstein's New York rape conviction just got overturned in the appeals court -- and a new trial has been ordered ... although it remains to be seen if he'll be prosecuted again.

The 4-3 ruling came down Thursday ... with the majority of judges agreeing that the disgraced movie producer's constitutional rights were violated back in 2020 when this case was first going down. According to them, prosecutors allowed other women to testify who weren't pertinent to the charges he was facing.

7:28 AM PT - Un representante de la Oficina del Fiscal de Manhattan le dice a TMZ: "Haremos todo lo posible para volver a juzgar este caso y permanecer firmes en nuestro compromiso con las sobrevivientes de abuso sexual".

La condena por violación de Harvey Weinstein en Nueva York acaba de ser anulada en el tribunal de apelaciones y se ha ordenado un nuevo juicio, aunque está por verse si va a ser procesado nuevamente o no.

La mayoría de los jueces coincidieron en que los derechos constitucionales del productor de cine fueron violados en 2020, cuando se inició el caso. Según ellos, los fiscales permitieron que declararan otras mujeres que no eran pertinentes a los cargos que enfrentaba.

En última instancia, decidieron que terminó siendo juzgado por otros casos relacionados con su presunto comportamiento en el pasado y no por los delitos específicos de los que había sido acusado. Como resultado, el Tribunal de Apelaciones de Nueva York consideró que Weinstein merece un jurado completamente nuevo para ser juzgado.

Drug charges, an adult entertainment venture and a new shoe deal ... all in a day's work for TMZ! Check out the best clips from Wednesday.

On "TMZ Live," Harvey and Charles discuss Diddy's associate Brendan Paul facing felony drug charges after his arrest last month.

El socio de Diddy, Brendan Paul, acaba de ser acusado de un delito grave por posesión de drogas y podría significar problemas para el magnate del rap.

Paul, que trabajaba como asistente principal de Diddy, fue arrestado en marzo en el Aeropuerto Ejecutivo de Miami-Opa Locka después de que los federales hicieran una redada en el avión y encontraran cocaína y caramelos de marihuana. Fue detenido y puesto bajo custodia, al mismo tiempo que los federales allanaban las mansiones de Diddy en Miami y Los Ángeles.

El joven de 25 años, que era muy amigo de Diddy y estaba al tanto de sus idas y venidas, se declaró inocente. Su abogado, Brian Bieber, le dice a TMZ: "Trataremos este caso en la sala del tribunal, no en el tribunal de la opinión pública".

Diddy's associate, Brendan Paul, has just been charged with one felony count of drug possession, and it could spell trouble for the rap mogul.

Paul, a former Syracuse men's basketball player who worked as Diddy's main assistant, was arrested in March at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport after feds searched his bag and allegedly found cocaine and marijuana candy. He was arrested and taken into custody, at the same time the feds were raiding Diddy's Miami and L.A. mansions.

The 25-year-old, who was extremely close to Diddy and was privy to Diddy's comings and goings, pled not guilty. His lawyer, Brian Bieber, tells TMZ, "We will be dealing with this case in the courtroom, not the court of public opinion."

A woman got kidnapped in Oregon over the weekend in the middle of the night -- all of which was captured on a doorbell camera ... and thankfully, she's been located and rescued.

Check out this footage that was taken Sunday night in Hillsboro, OR -- where a lady ran up to some stranger's home and tried ringing the doorbell before a dude entered the frame out of nowhere and swooped her up in his arms ... dragging her away as she screamed for help.

It's incredibly dramatic ... and while it might look random, cops are saying it's really not -- as they believe these two people knew each other and that there was some sort of relationship.

Victims of disgraced former Team USA doctor Larry Nassar will receive a massive $138.7 million payout from the U.S. Department of Justice.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced Tuesday they'd be shelling out the huge payment to 139 victims ... all because the DOJ concluded the FBI failed to conduct a thorough investigation of Nassar once the bureau received critical information that could've put a stop to the doctor's horrific acts.

“For decades, Lawrence Nassar abused his position, betraying the trust of those under his care and medical supervision while skirting accountability,” Acting Associate Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer said in a news release.

Milan Lucic and his wife are officially splitting up ... TMZ Sports has learned Brittany Lucic just filed for separation from the NHL star some five months after the two were allegedly involved in a domestic dispute.

Court records show Brittany submitted the documents on Monday evening ... citing "irreconcilable differences."

She listed the date of their marriage as July 19, 2012 ... and their date of separation as Nov. 17, 2023 -- the day before Milan was arrested for allegedly getting physical with Brittany during a disagreement.

Una mujer fue secuestrada en Oregón durante el fin de semana en mitad de la noche, y todo fue capturado por la cámara de la puerta principal. Por suerte ha sido localizada y rescatada.

Échale un vistazo a estas imágenes que se tomaron el domingo por la noche en Hillsboro, Oregón, donde una señora corrió hasta la casa de un extraño (escapando de alguien) y trató de tocar el timbre antes de que un tipo apareció de la nada y la agarró de los brazos, arrastrándola lejos mientras ella gritaba pidiendo ayuda.

Es increíblemente dramático, y mientras que podría parecer un incidente azaroso, la policía dice que en realidad no lo es, ya que creen que estas dos personas se conocían y que había algún tipo de relación.

Morgan Wallen's speaking out about his arrest in Nashville ... saying he needed to make some mea culpas before he could put out a statement -- and adding, his tour will go on.

The country star -- who cops arrested after he allegedly threw a chair off a downtown bar's roof -- posted to X Friday, saying he didn't wanna speak out on this until he did a few things first ... including making good with the people he feels he's harmed.

Morgan writes, "I didn't feel right publicly checking in until I made amends with some folks. I’ve touched base with Nashville law enforcement, my family, and the good people at Chief’s. I'm not proud of my behavior, and I accept responsibility."

Alec Baldwin filed a witness list for his upcoming involuntary manslaughter trial, and it includes some "Rust" crew members -- like the recently imprisoned Hannah Gutierrez-Reed.

The actor's attorneys submitted their list to the court Friday, and it's chock-full of potential names they say they might call come judgment day ... everything from actual eyewitnesses to sheriff's deputies, and even experts in relevant fields.

The big name is obviously Gutierrez-Reed ... the "Rust" armorer who was just recently found guilty in her own involuntary manslaughter trial for the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard's physical transformation continues ... and next up for a makeover is her mouth ...  TMZ has learned.

In new photos obtained by TMZ ... Gypsy displays her new porcelain caps, which she got to replace the silver teeth she's had for many years. Witnesses say she was spotted Wednesday at a Walmart in Galliano, LA debuting her new smile.

Remember, several of Gypsy's teeth and salivary glands were removed by her mother, Dee Dee, after she claimed GRB was suffering from tooth decay.
