Fights & Feuds

Rudy Gobert's ex, Julia Bonilla, took some apparent shots at the Minnesota Timberwolves center in a series of social media posts over the weekend ... going as far as sharing a message about having the ability to "destroy" someone's image -- but choosing not to.

The interesting Instagram Stories come just a few weeks after TMZ Sports reported the four-time Defensive Player of the Year broke things off with the mother of his one-year-old son and asked her to move out of their home ... all while pregnant with their second child.

Bonilla kicked off her activity by reposting a text graphic that said, "You have every right to speak your truth -- to share what happened and how it affected you. Their discomfort isn't your responsibility. If they wanted to be seen in a better light, they should've treated you better."

Scooter Braun's not feeling any bad blood toward Taylor Swift ... he's actually stoked his former business partner purchased her masters!

The HYBE America CEO tells TMZ ... he's "happy for her" after she bought her entire musical catalog from Shamrock Capital -- the company Scooter sold them to back in 2020 after he bought them from Big Machine Label Group the year before.

If you don't know ... sources tell TMZ that there are verified emails -- some of which appear in "Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood" -- which confirm Taylor was offered the opportunity to buy her masters from Scooter before Shamrock Capital purchased them.

Cardi B didn't take kindly to Hazel-E's latest interview Wednesday ... where Hazel-E claimed the "Bodak Yellow" rapper earned her "Love & Hip Hop" status and Diamond plaques by sleeping her way to the top!!!

Hazel-E was a recent guest on "Shirley's Temple" podcast when she went on a rant about Cardi's career -- prompting Cardi to give her a full smackdown in the DMs.

We're told by production sources the episode was shot in March and Hazel had some tequila to drink on the set ... which may have contributed to her saucy jabs at Cardi!!!

Hugh Jackman's estranged wife has her own superpowers now ... claiming the road on the "journey of betrayal" has made her stronger -- and, now she feels free.

Deborra-Lee Furness spoke out just a day after filing for divorce from her movie star husband ... taking shots at him in a statement to Daily Mail.

Furness told DM her heart goes out to everyone who has traversed the trauma of betrayal like she has ... calling it a "profound wound" -- while adding she believes the higher power of the universe is always working for those recovering from broken trust.

Kendrick Lamar's ex-labelmate Ab-Soul is currently rapping lyrical miracles about slapping DJ Akademiks ... a strike that would result in an automatic death sentence, a promise made by the popular streamer!!! 🫣

The longtime Top Dawg Entertainment rapper declared, "I'ma slap Akademiks when I see him" ... causing Ak to turn full-scale 2Pac while dropping a New Jersey address to letting Soul know he ain't hard to find!!!

Ak vows if Ab ever lifts a hand against him, he'll be trading bars with Nipsey Hussle, King Von, Pop Smoke and yes, even 2Pac, in "dead rapper heaven" ... but says there won't be a worldwide mourning session like the others.

Brooklyn Beckham is making it clear where his loyalty lies amid ongoing drama between the Beckham and Peltz families.

Brooklyn took to Instagram on Saturday with a heartfelt message for his wife of three years, Nicola Peltz, posting a video of the two riding a motorcycle together through the streets of Los Angeles.

He captioned the post ... "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person I know xx me and you forever baby ❤️❤️."

If bad blood is still brewing between Jordon Hudson and Linda Holliday following their 2024 Christmas party tiff ... a popular boxing promotion tells TMZ Sports it's down to let them settle their differences in one of its rings.

Damon Feldman, founder of Celebrity Boxing, said this week he'll pay Bill Belichick's former lover and his current one to duke it out ... if they decide that squashing their beef ultimately requires throwing fists.

No word what the monetary incentive would be for the two ... but given the juicy details that surrounded their spat at that now-infamous, December Nantucket bash -- we're sure Feldman would make it worth their while.

After another round of less-than-flattering words about her and her relationship with Bill Belichick, Jordon Hudson is firing back at Pablo Torre ... calling the journalist's reporting "factually incorrect" and straight-up "defamatory."

Torre -- the former ESPN talent -- has taken a deep dive into Hudson and Belichick's romance multiple times this month for his "Pablo Torre Finds Out" YouTube show ... and most of his work has painted an unfavorable picture of the 24-year-old.

In the May 9 episode, Torre reported Belichick's family is concerned over the Hudson relationship due to the huge role she's earned in his life. He also stated she once tried to force her way into a commercial that her 73-year-old partner was starring in. He added that Univ. of North Carolina officials had barred her from their football facilities because of her behavior around the Tar Heels coach -- though the school later vehemently denied that.

DaBaby won't be dragged through the gutter anymore over the bowling alley lawsuit filed by his ex-girlfriend DaniLeigh's brother ... the case has been dismissed!!!

On Wednesday, a Los Angeles judge noted that Brandon Bills' "lack of urgency" was the biggest holdup in the case ... after filing the lawsuit in 2022, yet failing to serve DaBaby for more than three years -- and still didn't follow through after initiating that process!!!

We broke the story ... DaBaby and Brandon duked it out at Topanga, California's Corbin Bowl bowling alley in Feb. 2022 in front of tons of witnesses.

Kid Cudi is testifying about his infamous car fire-bombing ... and he says he knows Diddy had something to do with it, even though Diddy denied it to his face during a meeting where Diddy came off like a Marvel supervillain.

The rapper testified Thursday in Diddy's criminal ... telling the jury his Porsche went up in flames outside his house in January 2012, shortly after he broke things off with Cassie.

Kid Cudi says he wasn't at home when he got a call from his dog's babysitter, informing him his car was on fire. He says he rushed home and found his car damaged.

Kid Cudi says Diddy broke into his Los Angeles home after finding out he was dating Cassie ... and he says Diddy screwed with his pooch.

The rapper took the stand Thursday in Diddy's federal criminal trial in NYC and told the jury about some of the drama that unfolded between him, Diddy and Cassie back in 2011 ... when she was on a break from Diddy and they started dating.

Kid Cudi testified there was a break-in at his home in December 2011 after Cassie called him early in the morning and told him Diddy found out about them. He says cops were called, too.

TMZ has obtained eye-popping text messages between Ryan Anderson and Gypsy Rose Blanchard that show Ryan allegedly going off on Gypsy ... and using a homophobic slur to insult the father of her baby, Ken Urker.

Check out the screenshot -- Ryan appears to accuse the ex-convict of doxing his number ... and he receives a response from Ken rather than Gypsy, which sets him off.

He allegedly uses vivid vocabulary to attack Ken, calling him a "f****t a** b***h" and more. In response, Ken simply writes ... "Block."

Ryan Reynolds has had enough of the "utterly frivolous claims" from Justin Baldoni's team in their ongoing legal war ... and now RR is asking the judge to ding them financially -- but JB is pointing the finger back at them.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ ...  lawyers for the "Deadpool" star on Tuesday hit JB and his team with a request for monetary sanctions -- which they say is a reaction to the "preposterous" defamation lawsuit that makes a mockery of the legal system.

As we previously reported, RR claimed Baldoni took his "thin-skinned outrage over a movie character" and decided to go after Ryan in court ... a reference to the satirical, "woke" Nicepool character from the new "Deadpool" movie, which JB thought was an obvious shot at him.

A Hollywood actor -- who scored roles in 'NYPD Blue' and 'CSI Miami' -- believes his daughter did not commit suicide and died under suspicious circumstances ... and now he's suing her estranged boyfriend for wrongful death.

Dwayne Adway filed his lawsuit Monday in L.A. County Superior Court against Makar Kirikov, accusing him of being involved in the death of his daughter, Daelena Mackay.

In the suit, Adway says Daelena and Kirikov lived together for about a year in an L.A. apartment and, during that time, Daelena "experienced multiple incidents of domestic violence" at the hands of Kirikov.

Rudy Gobert wants to make it abundantly clear he's not abandoning his son after splitting from his pregnant partner, Julia Bonilla ... sharing a picture of them spending time together to get his point across.

The 32-year-old Minnesota Timberwolves center posted the snap of him lying shirtless in the grass with one-year-old Romeo and included the caption, "Great day" ... an apparent break from preparations for the Western Conference Finals this week.

The timing is interesting -- Gobert's currently going through a split amid the NBA playoffs ... and sources told TMZ Sports last week he instructed Bonilla to move out of his home and take their kid with her.

Foo Fighters drummer Josh Freese surprised fans today when he announced the band called him Monday and told him they decided "to go in a different direction."

In Josh's post on Instagram, he says he wasn't given a reason why ... but he isn't angry, just more shocked and disappointed because of how much he's enjoyed the past two years.

We reached out to a rep for the Foo Fighters to get their side of the firing ... they had no comment.
