10:16 PM PT -- Un representante de Kanye West le dice a TMZ: "'Agarrar' es muy inadecuado como una descripción de lo que sucedió. Bianca fue agredida físicamente".

Y añaden: "El agresor no se limitó a chocar contra ella. Le metió las manos por debajo del vestido, directamente sobre el cuerpo, la agarró por la cintura, la hizo girar y luego le sopló besos. Fue maltratada y agredida sexualmente".

Kanye West podría tener un nuevo problema legal en sus manos, ya que el rapero aparece como sospechoso en una denuncia sobre agresión y ahora la policía está revisando las afirmaciones en su contra ... TMZ ha averiguado.

El ex coach de Sydney Sweeney está acudiendo en su defensa después de que su talento y apariencia fueron criticados por un productor de Hollywood.

Scott Sedita de Scott Sedita Acting Studios le dice a TMZ que Sydney es una actriz bien entrenada, cuya carrera comenzó cuando era solo una adolescente. Si bien está de acuerdo en que Sydney no tiene un cuerpo de "supermodelo", Scott dice que ella es hermosa por mejores razones.

Sydney es guapa porque tiene profundidad interior, intelecto, compasión, estilo y rasgos faciales -ojos, sonrisa, pómulos- que los ángulos de la cámara captan. La cámara adora su "mirada" tanto como el público. El público la adora porque es simpática y accesible".

10:16 PM PT -- A rep for Kanye West tells TMZ ... "'Grabbed' is grossly inadequate as a description of what happened. Bianca was physically assaulted."

They add, "The assailant didn't merely collide into her. He put his hands under her dress, directly on her body, he grabbed her waist, he spun her around, and then he blew her kisses. She was battered and sexually assaulted."

Kanye West might have new legal trouble on his hands -- he's the named suspect in a battery report, and cops are now looking into the claims against him ... TMZ has learned.

Sydney Sweeney's former acting coach is jumping to her defense after her talent and looks were slammed by a Hollywood producer.

Scott Sedita from Scott Sedita Acting Studios tells TMZ ... Sydney is a well-trained actress, whose career started when she was just a teenager. While he agrees Sydney doesn't have "supermodel" good looks, Scott does say she's beautiful for a myriad of other reasons.

As he put it to us, "Sydney is beautiful because she has inner depth, intellect, compassion, style and facial features -- eyes, smile, cheekbones -- that the camera angles pick up on. The camera loves her 'look' as well as the audience. Audiences love her because she’s relatable and approachable."

Comedy star Brad Williams says Blake Griffin could easily go from setting screens to setting up jokes now that he's retired from the NBA ... telling TMZ Sports the former hooper is legitimately good at standup.

Williams said out in L.A. on Tuesday -- just hours after Griffin announced he was hanging up his basketball sneakers -- that he's seen the ex-Clippers forward rock the mic before ... and he's been seriously impressed.

And, Williams told us if Griffin uses his newfound free time to really commit to standup -- he could be a real player in the comedy world.

Jenna Jameson's estranged wife might be rethinking her approach to their uncoupling ... because she took down her tell-all "divorce" video for the sake of her ex's well-being.

Jessi Lawless tells TMZ she pulled the video down from her social media Wednesday after having a heart-to-heart phone call with Jenna. She says she understands Jenna's been catching heat online since Jessi posted it ... announcing she was filing to end their marriage.

She says, "I don’t want her mental health impacted any more than it already has been. I love her. This is a very delicate time for us. We’re both heartbroken and trying to find hope for the future."

Una pobre mujer perdió la vida porque ella y su presunto asesino estaban siendo estafados por un tercero, y hablamos con algunos expertos que dicen que esto no va a parar.

El experto en tecnología Lance Ulanoff -que ha estado cubriendo este campo como periodista durante años- estuvo en "TMZ Live" el miércoles para discutir el tiroteo fatal de Loletha Hall, que fue asesinada a tiros a finales del mes pasado en Ohio después de que William Brock, de 81 años de edad, la confundió con una estafadora.

Lance nos dice que este es un caso extremo de este tipo de historias, y asegura que suceden todo el tiempo. Dice que por lo general no llegan a este nivel de violencia y tragedia. Desgraciadamente, en este caso sí... y dice que es un cuento con moraleja sobre los peligros de estos malos actores.

GloRilla found herself in a jail cell this week after cops busted her for DUI -- and she apparently had a wardrobe malfunction while this all went down ... TMZ has learned.

According to a police report, obtained by TMZ, the rapper was arrested and booked early Tuesday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence, consuming/possessing an open alcoholic beverage container and a separate traffic charge in Gwinnett County, GA.

She was hauled into jail around 6:12 AM ET and bonded out a few hours later. Her booking info, obtained by TMZ, notes that one of her aliases is Hallelujah ... which is her legal middle name.

YG is 100% for rap beef -- whether he's in the mix or on the sidelines -- but doesn't fault J. Cole for not feeling the same way when he was up against Kendrick Lamar.

TMZ Hip Hop recently linked with YG in L.A. and the 4HUNNID hitmaker is ready to exercise his first boss moves of 2024 ... he just shot the vid for his upcoming single, "Knockas."

YG's back in the saddle with his day one collaborator Mustard, and L.A. radio is about to experience a revival of sorts -- they're releasing the upcoming compilation, "Just Re'd Up 3" soon and point him to the action!!!

Hip Hop has been offering tons of just that as of late, and we had to get his thoughts on Kendrick Lamar vs. Everybody, including his homie J. Cole.

YG has records with both Kendrick and Cole but didn't come down on the Dreamville rapper for apologizing like other culture critics.

He's thinking like a boss more than ever. YG and his label recently inked a multi-album partnership deal with BMG, after officially departing Def Jam Records -- so, more than ever, his career is his to control.

A poor woman lost her life because both she and her alleged murderer were being scammed by a nefarious third party -- and we talked to some experts who say ... this ain't gonna stop.

Tech expert Lance Ulanoff -- who's covered this field as Editor at TechRadar -- came on "TMZ Live" Wednesday to discuss the fatal shooting of Loletha Hall ... who was gunned down late last month in Ohio after 81-year-old William Brock mistook her for someone trying to secure a ransom out of him.

Lance tells us this is an extreme case of these types of stories -- which he says happen all the time, but usually don't rise to this level of violence and tragedy.

Unfortunately, here it did, and he says it's a cautionary tale on the dangers of these bad actors.

Jeezy está dando marcha atrás en su oferta para la custodia primaria de su hijo, y en su lugar, ahora le está pidiendo al juez que se asegure de que él y Jeannie Mai reciban la parte justa de tiempo.

En una nueva moción, obtenida por TMZ, Jeezy afirma que su esposa está restringiéndole el acceso a su hija de dos años de edad, Mónaco.

El rapero dice que él y Jeannie elaboraron un acuerdo de custodia informal el año pasado, pero se vino abajo a principios de 2024 y afirma que apenas ha visto a Mónaco todo este año.

Comedian Blake Pavey is banning all people 85 and up from attending his shows, and he's got at least one legendary comic on his side ... George Wallace!

We caught up with the funnyman Wednesday outside LAX, and asked him about the Australian comedian's new rule, which George says he fully supports.

Wallace speaks directly to Pavey ... saying he doesn't blame him in the slightest for keepin' the old folks out -- even if it's really just a shtick to get publicity, as George suspects it to be.

Jeezy is clearing the air on his bid for primary custody of his kid -- now asking the judge to make sure he and Jeannie Mai each get their fair share of parental time.

In a new motion, obtained by TMZ ... Jeezy claims his estranged wife is restricting his access to their daughter, 2-year-old Monaco.

The rapper says he and Jeannie worked out an informal custody agreement last year, but that fell apart at the beginning of 2024 ... and he claims he's barely seen Monaco this whole year.

Halle Bailey y DDG, el padre de su hijo, no han ido por caminos separados ni han terminado, a pesar de que Internet ciertamente parece pensar que sí, según ha averiguado TMZ.

El representante de la cantante nos dice que Halle y DDG siguen juntos y que todos los informes que dicen que se han separado son directamente falsos, punto. La razón por la que esto incluso tuvo que ser abordado es porque la gente estaba corriendo desenfrenada con los rumores de que ambos habían roto recientemente.

Definitivamente había indicios de que tal vez había problemas entre ellos, incluyendo el hecho de que dejaron de seguirse en Instagram recientemente, lo que ciertamente es una gran cosa en 2024.

La afirmación de Jessica Chastain sobre la popularidad de un nombre de bebé no se sostiene. Mientras que ella dice que muchos fans están nombrando a sus hijos en honor a su personaje de "Interstellar", Babynames.com dice que no es el caso.

La base de datos en línea para los nombres de bebé le aclara a TMZ que el nombre "Murph" -el nombre del personaje de Chastain de la exitosa película de 2014- no es el gran éxito que ella cree.

Babynames.com utilizó los datos de la Oficina de Seguridad Social, y dice que "Murph" no entró en el top 1.000 de nombres, ya sea para hombres o mujeres en cualquier año.

Tekashi 6ix9ine parece haberse metido en más problemas legales aquí en los Estados Unidos, porque supimos que agentes federales llegaron hasta su casa.

No nos dieron más información sobre la naturaleza exacta de la operación, pero hay algunas pistas bastante claras.
