"Reacher" star Alan Ritchson might have thought he was still shooting an episode of his popular show Sunday ... because we have video of him beating the hell out of a neighbor in Tennessee.

Watch the clip ... you can see Alan going toe-to-toe with a man, while two kids -- who are reportedly the actor's children -- are sitting on nearby on motorbikes.

The alleged victim, Ronnie Taylor, tells TMZ ... this all started Saturday when Alan was riding his green Kawasaki bike through the quiet, well-to-do Nashville suburb. Ronnie claims Alan was flying at excessive speed, revving his engine and disturbing the peace.

"Reacher" star Alan Ritchson did not instigate the fight with his neighbor in Tennessee, and was pushed off his bike twice by the man before the video-recorded beatdown, according to sources close to the actor.

Our sources tell us ... witnesses saw Alan riding his motorcycle down the street in Brentwood, TN, ahead of his two kids on their mini-bikes Sunday afternoon. We're told their neighbor, Ronnie Taylor, bolted into the street to try to stop Alan's bike in a "really aggressive" manner.

Olivia Rodrigo is spilling her guts about her rumored feud with Sabrina Carpenter.

In a new interview published Thursday, Liv told British Vogue there's no "jealousy, jealousy" on her end, saying ... "I think she’s great. I’m so happy for all of her success too. I love the album she’s put out."

The interviewer wrote the compliment felt "genuine" ... but noticed the singer was "tense, picturing the headlines."

Olivia seemingly wondered whether her comment felt canned, because she added ... "No, no, no, it’s good. It’s just people just get weird and clickbaity -- it’s all love, though. I’ve talked to her many times.”

Feud rumors have persisted since the "Vampire" singer dropped her debut album, "Sour" ... wondering if the songs were about Sabrina.

That's because Olivia's ex Joshua Bassett went on to date the "Espresso" songstress after they broke up.

Heidi Fleiss is speaking out after her neighbor called the police and animal control on her two parrots ... telling TMZ she plans to speak to her neighbor later today.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is daring Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, to show his face ... accusing him of hiding amid claims he's been disfigured, instead of speaking publicly.

Hegseth ripped into Khamenei after the 56-year-old’s first message since taking power aired on Iranian state TV ... a written statement calling for unity that was read aloud by a presenter.

In a Friday briefing, the Pentagon chief questioned why Khamenei didn’t appear on camera himself ... suggesting he’s scared, injured, or on the run after the recent strikes that killed his father.

According to new documents reviewed by TMZ ... Kim and Kris both filed declarations addressing old rumors about the sex tape being a "staged event" -- with both calling the charge a straight-up lie.

Kim says, "[Ray J's] claim that I had a plan with my mother and others to release a sex tape, defraud the public, and file a 'fake' lawsuit against the porn company that released it to 'create buzz' is a lie.”

Andrew and Tristan Tate want Elon Musk's social media platform to give up the names of accounts they claim have been harassing and defaming them online ... so they're going to court to try to unmask some John and Jane Does.

Here's the deal ... the Tate Brothers sued a bunch of anonymous X users for defamation over X posts they didn't like ... the lawsuit was dismissed, but now the Tates want a court to force X to reveal the identities of the accounts they sued.

Russell Westbrook had plenty to say after the Sacramento Kings suffered their 50th loss of the season -- going off on the media for more than 5 minutes over what he called disrespectful coverage of the team.

The longtime guard went OFF on reporters at the postgame press conference following the Kings' 133-123 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday ... a defeat that dropped them to a league-worst 14-50 record.

The exchange was sparked when a journalist asked Westbrook what the team could still accomplish as the season is nearing its end -- prompting Russ to fire back, asking what they thought since they have so much to say.

"What y'all think though? 'Cause y'all got a lot of answers and y'all always be talkin'," Westbrook said.
