Feuds

08/14/2026 6:29 PM PST -- Slipknot released the deleted statement on their music festival Knotfest's Instagram.

Sid Wilson's officially out of Slipknot ... or at least he was for a hot minute -- before the band deleted their social media post announcing the news.

Here's the deal ... the group's official Instagram account put up a simple black and white post which reads, "Effective immediately, Slipknot will no longer be associated with Sid Wilson. We wish him the best in his future endeavors."

Then, for reasons unknown, the band took the post down a short time later ... so it's unclear where they stand with Sid.

Cardi B is calling BS on BIA, claiming her diss track was all true ... and warning her rap rival she's got plenty of dirt tucked away.

Cardi came out swinging in a Spaces chat on X ... repeatedly demanding, "What's true?" before launching into a laundry list of claims about BIA.

She claims BIA desperately wanted to be friends before their beef and repeatedly sent word through mutual friends that she had no problem with Cardi ... and Cardi says she's got recordings to prove it.

Carl Radke isn't sweating some major changes to the "Summer House" cast ... telling us the show is ready to turn the page without West Wilson and Amanda Batula.

We got Carl at LAX on Thursday and asked whether the Bravo hit can stay as popular now that West and Amanda have decided not to return for the upcoming season ... and he doesn't seem too worried.

Carl tells us the group has never been exactly the same from summer to summer ... saying a new house and some new faces should make this season feel like a "totally new chapter."

The Beverly Hills bourgeoisie got dinner and a free show when a fight broke out at one of their ritzy restaurants ... and it's all on video.

Ya gotta see this brawl that went down at Steak 48 -- a popular restaurant in Bev Hills -- footage shows two women dressed to the nines ... but standing 10 toes down and throwing hands in a crowded dining room.

Unclear what started the brawl here ... but these two women acted like this was a PPV fight ... punching, kicking, and clawing at each other while rolling around on the floor.

Lionel Richie's roast of Chris Brown didn't make the R&B star "Go Crazy" like some may have thought it would ... Chris took it in stride -- and fired a tongue-in-cheek insult right back.

After Lionel dissed Chris' tour with Usher and his rap sheet, Breezy hopped on the internet to clap back in hilarious fashion ... reminding Lionel he's not the young crooner he used to be.

Chris posted ... "damn unk. We love ya paw paw" ... and he added a few laughing emojis for good measure.

Doja Cat is ripping Tyga for using A.I. to help make his new album, "$TARFACE" ... calling her former collaborator a "penis."

Doja took the unprompted shot during a live stream Wednesday ... saying nobody asked her about Tyga, but she wanted to weigh in anyway.

Her blunt take ... "Tyga is a penis for making an A.I. album."

Miss North Carolina USA winner Brittany Boltinhouse says she isn't sorry about using the n-word in the past ... even if she had to cough up her crown.

In a new interview with Daily Mail, the scandalized pageant queen was asked if she thought she should apologize for using the slur, but she doubled down, saying ... "No. Not at all."

She told the outlet she felt like she was "unfairly targeted," saying ... "It's a constitutional right, it's your First Amendment right to express yourself ... and I feel like I was ripped of that as a proud American."

Alex Cooper says there's no bad blood between her and Dave Portnoy ... even after he claimed she was planning to make bogus sexual assault allegations to get out of her Barstool Sports contract.

The popular podcaster went on CNBC's "Squawk Box" to clear the air, kinda, about her "complicated" relationship with her former boss.

Asked to comment on Dave's claims, the "Call Her Daddy" host dodged and said ... "Dave's got his version and I've got my version, and we're all good."

NBA YoungBoy's mom just went scorched earth after her son said in a recent interview he likely won't speak to her again ... ripping his skills, or lack thereof, as a father.

Here's the deal -- the rapper appeared on "Open Thoughts" Tuesday and said his mom was a source of his previous anger. He then went on to suggest they'd never talk again ... though he said he loves her from afar.

This set his mom, Sherhonda Gaulden, off ... and she took to Instagram to claim he's an absent father who doesn't speak to his own kids.

She also claimed to be present for his "Open Thoughts" interview, but then backtracked when she realized she was thinking of a different interview.

Chris Brown believes he was hit with a massive $12.9 million judgment because the judge let the jury hear about his assault on Rihanna ... and now he wants a do-over ... TMZ has learned.

The singer filed court docs seeking a new trial in the case against his former housekeeper, Maria Avila, which ended with a huge judgment in her favor.

You'll recall ... Maria filed the suit claiming she suffered severe injuries due to a vicious attack by a dog at Chris' L.A. home.

Chris denied he was legally responsible for her injuries.

Liz Cho has filed for a protective order amid her contentious divorce from Josh Elliott ... but the request has nothing to do with her personal safety.

The ABC7 New York news anchor asked the court to block Elliott's attorneys from deposing her on July 23, according to court documents obtained by Page Six.

Cho filed the request July 17, arguing the deposition had been scheduled without first checking whether she or her attorneys were available.

DiJonai Carrington is revisiting her recent "white privilege" comment directed at the Indiana Fever ... claiming it wasn't about the flagrant foul she received against Sophie Cunningham that resulted in her ejection.

The Chicago Sky hooper went to X to respond to talking head Emmanuel Acho on Monday ... after he called her out on his "Speakeasy" show for seemingly chalking the foul up to racism.

"It was just very ignorant, and to some degree asinine, by DiJonai Carrington to suggest that that call was based on white privilege," Acho said ... adding she deserved to be ejected for the act.

Matthew Lillard is down a fan after an alleged icy encounter from a few years ago left a bad taste in the guy's mouth ... and it sounds like the dude's been holding one helluva grudge.

Here's the deal ... the OG "Scream" star was doing a Q&A during the Midsummer Scream convention in Long Beach over the weekend when a man in the crowd grabbed the mic, got in Matthew's face and told him he'd lost a fan.

The reason ... Matthew allegedly dissing the guy the last time they crossed paths.

Dude claims the last time he saw Matthew, he told the actor his theory about a possible link between "Scream" and the movie "Mad Love" ... to which Matthew allegedly replied, "What were you smoking?"

Kylie Jenner's longtime bestie Stassie Karanikolaou was noticeably absent from the reality star's 29th birthday celebration ... amid speculation the longtime gal pals may have hit a rough patch.

Kylie celebrated her early birthday over the weekend in Beverly Hills, surrounded by many of her closest friends ... but fans were quick to notice Stassie was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, Stassie was a world away in Ibiza ... traveling with her newfound BFF Alix Earle. In case you aren't on TikTok, the two have gotten significantly closer this summer -- documenting their friendship from yachts to international getaways -- prompting some fans online to wonder if something may have happened between Stassie and Kylie.

A couple OG stars from "The Real Housewives of New York" are locking horns ... and it's all because one of them is returning to the Bravo series.

Luann de Lesseps and Carole Radziwill are exchanging jabs over a new beef Luann started, AKA Countess Luann, after she paid a backhanded compliment to Carole over her return to 'RHONY.'

Luann said Carole made a good call because she wasn't "busy" doing anything else of note.

Of course, Carole wasn't about to let that slide ... and posted her response, apparently from her massive home on the water while fishing, saying she worked her whole life so she didn't have to be busy now. Snap!

Cam'ron's not playing around with a member of Cardi B's team anymore ... demanding money he feels he's owed from a studio session ... and using alleged NSFW messages as leverage.

Here's the deal ... Cam'ron hopped on the Revolt show, "Talk With Flee," earlier this week in a show recapping the first season ... and he ripped into Cardi B's team for an unreleased track and verse on a remake of his song "What Means the World to You."

Basically, Cam'ron says Cardi wanted his help with the remake, which he agreed to give in exchange for an interview ... but the song was never released -- and the interview never happened.

Cam'ron says he felt stiffed by Cardi's team and went back to them asking for either the interview or cold hard cash for his time and effort ... but he says he never got the reciprocity he was looking for ... and now he's making demands.
