IN MY OPINION

Update

1/10 -- 4:41 AM PT -- Nev issued an apology to Ronnie Radke Friday night ... saying in a TikTok that this catfishing scandal "wasn't something I knew anything about" and "I just wanted to say I am sorry."

1:44 PM PT -- Ronnie Radke has responded to Nev's take on the debacle ... and as you can imagine, Ronnie went scorched earth on Nev.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Nev Schulman says he hasn't launched into any kind of formal investigation ... but he's inclined to believe Brittany Furlan over Ronnie Radke when it comes to all this catfishing drama.

The former "Catfish" host sat down for a conversation on "The TMZ Podcast" with Charlie Neff and Charlie Cotton ... and they asked him what his take on all the drama is.

Remember ... Brittany claims she and her husband, Tommy Lee, nearly split because she was talking to Ronnie online -- but Ronnie insists Brittany was being catfished. He's since filed a restraining order against her.

UNPACKING DEFENSIVE STRATEGY

TMZ has a documentary -- "TMZ Investigates The Reiner Murders: What Really Happened" -- airing tonight on FOX and dropping Saturday on Hulu. Our sources say Nick is delusional and believes the people who put him behind bars are engaged in a "conspiracy" against him.

Our sources say Nick's fatal mental spiral occurred about a month before the murders, when doctors changed the meds he was taking for schizoaffective disorder -- a severe mental illness that causes delusions, hallucinations, and mania. The meds made him increasingly dangerous and erratic. We're told the meds are still not working properly.

Haley Kalil's Attorney Haley Has Every Right to Talk About Matt's D***!!!

Published | Updated

UPDATE

12:24PM PT -- "Haley Kalil disclosed private and intimate details about Matt Kalil that were of no legitimate public concern and subjected Matt Kalil and his family to widespread ridicule and unwanted attention,” Matt Kalil's attorney, Ryan Saba, tells us.

“Haley Kalil shared these sensitive personal details about her ex-husband in an apparent quest to seek fortune and fame. Her actions were extreme, outrageous, beyond all possible bounds of decency, and have caused substantial harm to Matt Kalil, his family, and his business.”

Haley Kalil's well within her rights to talk about the Coke cans her ex Matt Kalil's packing in his pants, her lawyer says ... because she has erotic autonomy.

Matthew Bialick -- Haley's lawyer -- tells TMZ ... he plans to file a motion to dismiss Matt's lawsuit within three weeks of being formally served the summons or complaint, which hasn't happened yet.

Bialick says it's totally unreasonable to file a lawsuit on the basis of making someone liable for "exercising her sexual sovereignty by truthfully describing a sexual experience that left her in tears" ... adding it violates his client's right to free speech.

Mickey Rourke may be down on his luck after nearly being evicted from his home ... but the Hollywood star isn’t rushing back to work -- unless the opportunity is right.

Rourke's manager, Kimberly Hines, tells TMZ ... over the past week, he has been getting a flurry of job offers -- ranging from indie films and photoshoots to live appearances and signings. In fact, Hines says she's received six offers for Mickey in just the past two days ... but he's not interested.

Despite his financial instability, Hines says Mickey has a lot of pride and wants to be paid like an A-lister if he takes a job ... in the range of $200,000 per day. He's also focused on working with the types of top-tier actors and directors he's collaborated with before.

While the offers haven’t hit the number he’s looking for, Hines says they’re still good opportunities alongside talented people. She believes if Mickey focuses on doing quality work, the money will eventually follow.

DON'T LIKE THE CHAOS

"Members Only: Palm Beach" star Gale Brophy is speaking out for the first time since the show aired ... and she says the newest women on the show are failing to represent the town with the elegance and refinement it’s known for.

Gale hopped on TMZ's 'Previously On...' podcast, and she tells us she would not have joined the show had she known how chaotic it would become ... unless the cast looked very different ... with the exception of Rosalyn.

The "Queen of Palm Beach" tells us her main issue isn’t the drama itself, but what she believes is a misrepresentation of Palm Beach culture. According to Gale, Palm Beach is the richest zip code in the world and operates by a strict code of etiquette, discretion, and philanthropy -- standards she says the new women simply don’t meet.
