Fights & Feuds

Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann están desesperados por vender su mansión en Georgia para mitigar sus problemas financieros, lo que queda en evidencia al ver que acaban de bajar su precio de venta por un buen monto.

La pareja, que todavía está en medio de un divorcio, ahora está pidiendo $5,500,000 por su propiedad en Milton, Georgia. En octubre estaba listada en $6 millones.

No es el mayor recorte del mundo, pero es sustancial y obviamente esperan que el movimiento atraiga a algún comprador. El tiempo dirá si funciona, la verdad es que el mercado de viviendas está un poco lento en este momento y las tasas de interés bastante altas.

Otra cosa que hay que tener en cuenta es que las casas comparables de la zona, en algunos casos en la misma calle, se venden por muchísimo menos dinero, así que puede que tengan que bajar el precio aún más.

Recuerden, Kroy recientemente le rogó a un juez que le permitiera poner la casa a la venta como una manera de hacer frente a la creciente deuda que tienen, y parece que él y Kim finalmente están en la misma página, a pesar de sus continuas idas y venidas.

Ya sea que terminen rebajando en $550k o un poco más, aún así van a ganar bastante en comparación al precio de compra de 2012, de solo $880,000 en ese momento.

1:30 PM PT -- Jonathan Majors' attorney, Priya Chaudhry, tells us, "It is clear that the jury did not believe Grace Jabbari's story of what happened in the SUV because they found that Mr. Majors did not intentionally cause any injuries to her. We are grateful for that."

Chaudhry continues, "We are disappointed, however, that despite not believing Ms. Jabbari, the jury nevertheless found that Mr. Majors was somehow reckless while she was attacking him. Mr. Majors is grateful to God, his family, his friends, and his fans for their love and support during these harrowing eight months. Mr. Majors still has faith in the process and looks forward to fully clearing his name."

12:42 PM PT -- Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg tells TMZ, “At the Manhattan D.A.’s Office, we are committed to centering survivors in all of our work. The evidence presented throughout this trial illustrated a cycle of psychological and emotional abuse, and escalating patterns of coercion far too common across the many intimate partner violence cases we see each and every day."

Bragg continues, "Today, a jury determined that pattern of abuse and coercion culminated with Mr. Majors assaulting and harassing his girlfriend. We thank the jury for its service and the survivor for bravely telling her story despite having to relive her trauma on the stand."

Jonathan Majors was just found guilty in his criminal trial -- after a jury decided the actor's fate following 3 days of deliberations.

The verdict came down Monday in NYC, and the actor was found guilty on one count of reckless assault in the third degree and guilty of harassment. Remember, he'd initially been slapped with 8 separate charges -- all pertaining to alleged assault and harassment -- but before things kicked off ... the D.A.'s office agreed to drop four of them in an effort to consolidate their complaint.

He was acquitted of two other charges ... one count of intentional assault and one count of aggravated harassment. Now, he faces a maximum sentence of up to a year behind bars.

The trial, which lasted about two weeks, had some standout moments right from the jump in opening statements -- when prosecutors alleged Majors had a history of violence in his relationships, and that the March incident in question was simply the latest example.

Prosecutors claim Majors and his accuser, Grace Jabbari, had gotten into an argument that night after she discovered some texts from another woman ... but asserted Majors was the one who escalated things by allegedly twisting her arm behind her back, and her finger as well. They also claimed he threw her back into the car they were in after she attempted to exit. In other words, they alleged he roughed her up ... and the 6-person jury agreed.

One critical piece of evidence presented in court involved surveillance video of the night in question ... showing a scuffle between Majors and Jabbari, plus a foot chase shortly thereafter ... with Majors bolting away from Jabbari, who runs after him for a few blocks.

Jabbari herself also took the stand as the key witness, and she backed the prosecution's case ... namely, that Majors had gotten physical with her that night, and it followed a pattern of controlling/manipulative behavior that, at times, teetered on violence.

She described other alleged instances of Majors losing his temper ... and delivered emotional testimony. On cross, though, Majors' defense team attempted to pick apart her story ... including asking her whether she was actually injured that night, despite security footage that showed her partying after the fact and looking seemingly unharmed/unbothered.

Major's 911 call the day he was arrested was also released ... he called after finding Jabbari passed out in his penthouse apartment and feared she may have attempted suicide.

Throughout the trial, Majors appeared alongside his current girlfriend, Meagan Good, who stood by him during the saga -- whose presence some thought would buy him goodwill.

The bigger question now, of course, is what happens to his career ... it was on the ropes even before the trial -- and now, it feels like he might start to be dropped en masse. It's a big blow ... Majors had already started playing Marvel's next big bad, and he was a rising star in Hollywood with Oscar aspirations too.

He'll be sentenced February 6.

12:42 PM PT -- El Fiscal del Distrito de Manhattan Alvin Bragg le dice a TMZ, "En la Oficina del Fiscal del Distrito de Manhattan, estamos comprometidos a centrarnos en los sobrevivientes en todo nuestro trabajo. La evidencia presentada a lo largo de este juicio ilustra un ciclo de abuso psicológico y emocional y la escalada de los patrones de coerción demasiado común a través de los muchos casos de violencia de pareja íntima que vemos todos los días".

Bragg continúa: "Hoy, un jurado ha determinado que ese patrón de abuso y coacción culminó con la agresión y el acoso del Sr. Majors a su novia. Damos las gracias al jurado por su servicio y a la superviviente por contar valientemente su historia a pesar de tener que revivir su trauma en el estrado".

Jonathan Majors acaba de ser declarado culpable en su juicio penal después de que un jurado decidiera el destino del actor tras tres días de deliberaciones.

El veredicto se conoció el lunes en Nueva York y el actor fue declarado culpable de un cargo de agresión en tercer grado y culpable de acoso. Recordemos que en un principio se le habían imputado 8 cargos distintos, todos relacionados con supuestas agresiones y acoso, pero antes de que se iniciara el juicio, la fiscalía aceptó retirar cuatro de ellos para unificar la denuncia. Fue absuelto de otros dos cargos de asalto y acoso agravado

Ahora se enfrenta a una pena máxima de hasta un año entre rejas.

El juicio, que duró cerca de dos semanas, tuvo algunos momentos destacados desde el salto en las declaraciones de apertura, cuando los fiscales alegaron Majors tenía un historial de violencia en sus relaciones y que el incidente de marzo en cuestión era simplemente el último ejemplo.

Los fiscales afirman que Majors y su demandante, Grace Jabbari, habían entrado en una discusión esa noche después de que ella descubrió algunos textos de otra mujer, pero afirmó que Majors fue quien escaló las cosas por presuntamente torcer su brazo detrás de la espalda y lastimar su dedo. También afirmaron que la arrojó de vuelta al carro en el que estaban después de que ella intentara salir. En otras palabras, alegaron que la maltrató y el jurado tuvo a seis personas de acuerdo con esto.

Una pieza fundamental de la evidencia presentada en el tribunal fue un video de vigilancia de la noche en cuestión que muestra una pelea entre Majors y Jabbari, además de una persecución a pie poco después, con Majors corriendo lejos de Jabbari durante unas pocas cuadras.

Jabbari también subió al estrado como testigo clave y apoyó el caso frente a la fiscalía. Diciendo que Majors se había puesto violento con ella esa noche, y continuó con un comportamiento manipulador y controlador que a veces se transformaba en violencia.

Ella describió otros supuestos casos en los que Majors perdió los estribos y entregó un testimonio emocional. El equipo de defensa de Majors intentó desmontar su historia, incluso le preguntaron si ella estaba realmente herida esa noche. Esto a raíz de las imágenes de seguridad que la mostraba de fiesta después del hecho, donde se veía aparentemente ilesa y para nada perturbada.

La llamada de Majors al 911 el día que fue arrestado también se dio a conocer, él llamó después de encontrar a Jabbari desmayada en su ático y temía que ella podría haber intentado suicidarse.

A lo largo del juicio, Majors apareció junto a su actual novia, Meagan Good, quien estuvo a su lado todo el tiempo. Algunos pensaban que su presencia le compraría buena voluntad, pero no fue suficiente

La pregunta más importante ahora, por supuesto, es lo que sucederá con su carrera, la cual estaba contra las cuerdas incluso antes del juicio. Este es un gran golpe considerando que Majors ya había comenzado a interpretar el próximo gran villano de Marvel y él era una estrella en ascenso en Hollywood con aspiraciones de Óscar.

Será sentenciado el 6 de febrero.

Drake is patting himself on the back for a year well done, admitting he couldn't do it without the love of his supporters -- and the bad intentions of his haters.

Drake took to IG Sunday to deliver a PSA to celebrate his 2023 ... he released his thirteenth No. 1 album "For All The Dogs" and closed the year as the top-streamed artist on Spotify.

Drake acknowledged he couldn't have done it without fans driving his numbers up and constantly supporting him.

Drake also lashed out at the "nonbelievers, the underachievers and the tweet-and-deleters" -- and fans instantly remembered Metro Boomin subliminally shading Drake on X a couple of weeks ago.

Metro was upset that Drake and 21 Savage's "Her Loss" was receiving more award show attention than his "Heroes & Villains" project ... although it's not totally clear why.

Both albums are nominated for Best Rap Album at next year's Grammys ... but Drake says guys like that make his stomach turn and dared anyone of them to step to his face.

Drake se da palmaditas en la espalda por un año bien hecho, admitiendo que no podría hacerlo sin el amor de sus seguidores y las malas intenciones de sus haters.

Drake habló por IG el domingo para celebrar su 2023, lanzó su decimotercer álbum No. 1 "For All The Dogs" y cerró el año como el artista más visto en Spotify.

Drake reconoció que no podría haberlo hecho sin los fans que impulsan sus números y lo  apoyan constantemente.

Drake también arremetió contra los "no creyentes y los haters de tuiter" y los fans recordaron al instante a Metro Boomin, quien habló mal de Drake de manera sutil por medio de X.

Metro estaba molesto porque "Her Loss" de Drake y 21 Savage estaba recibiendo más atención en los premios días que su proyecto "Heroes & Villains", aunque no está del todo claro por qué.

Ambos álbumes están nominados a Mejor Álbum de Rap en los Grammy del próximo año, pero Drake dice que tipos como ese le revuelven el estómago y retó a cualquiera de ellos a que le pisara la cara.

An Airbnb host accused Fantasia of throwing a party and asked her and her family to vacate the rental property at midnight.

Fantasia took to X to voice her concerns over the dispute which occurred on Saturday Dec. 16.

She tweeted, "I don’t say much when people do me wrong, but I can’t stay quiet on how my family and I were just treated from a host with @Airbnb @airbnbhelp trying to kick my kids and I out at 12:00 midnight."

She detailed how they remained within the occupancy limits listed for the Airbnb, and included "they never said we weren’t allowed to have any company over!!"

This all while her 12-year-old son Dallas Xavier and friends were there to enjoy their night.

Fantasia also explained that there were obviously other parties that had taken place there ... "There were weights with balloon ribbon left in the garage from a previous party at the house."

Fantasia believes this was an instance of racial profiling and said, "The treatment we received was due to the color of our skin."

All she wanted was for her son and friends to have a good night, especially after she has been away traveling for "35+ days" promoting her upcoming movie, "The Color Purple."

Fantasia will star alongside Halle Bailey, H.E.R., and Ciara among others, which will come to theaters on Dec. 25.

Airbnb responded with a generic response regarding discrimination: "Hi Fantasia, Airbnb does not condone discrimination in any way. You can view our Nondiscrimination Policy here: http://air.do/6014RrtEK Please send us a DM with the email address connected to your booking, so our team can follow up. Thank you."

La última actuación en directo de Anita Baker está recibiendo hate luego de que se pusiera irritable con el público en Texas. Parte de esto fue capturado en video.

La legendaria cantante estaba haciendo un show en el Toyota Center de Houston el viernes por la noche para una audiencia bastante sólida, pero en ciertos momentos, durante el concierto, Anita parece haberse ofuscado un poco con algunas personas de la primera fila.

Hay dos videos circulando en línea en este momento. Uno muestra a Anita diciendole a algunas personas que estaban justo debajo de ella cerca del escenario que dejaran de grabar en medio de una canción.

Hay otro momento en el que se puede ver y escuchar a Anita pidiéndole a los de seguridad que echen a la gente.

En general, esto parece haber dejado un mal sabor de boca en el público, con algunos en línea quejándose de que Anita estaba más preocupada por discutir con un selecto grupo de fans que hacer el mejor trabajo que podía en el escenario para todos. Otros afirmaron que parecía haberse saltado algunas letras, y alegaron que su actuación, en general, fue relativamente efímera y algo descuidada.

Ahora, hay un buen puñado de personas que defienden a Anita, diciendo que la gente de la primera fila estaba, de hecho, actuando y provocandola. Otros dijeron que la actuación, en general, fue genial.

Por supuesto, el telón de fondo más grande de esto es la disputa con Babyface de a principios de este año. Donde se metió con él y sus fans en la Twitter-esfera.

Anita Baker's latest live performance is catching a little heat after she apparently got testy with the audience out in Texas -- parts of which were captured on video.

The legendary crooner was doing a show in Houston's Toyota Center Friday night and playing to a pretty solid-sized audience ... but at certain points during the gig, AB appears to have gotten into it a bit with some folks down in the front row.

There are 2 videos, in particular, that are circulating online right now -- one shows Anita telling some people right below her near the stage to stop recording ... in the middle of a song.

There's another moment where Anita could be seen/heard asking for security to boot folks.

Overall, this seems to have left a bad taste in people's mouths -- with some online complaining that Anita was more concerned with arguing with a select few ticket-buyers than doing the best job she could onstage. Others claimed she seemed to miss some lyrics ... and alleged her performance, overall, was relatively short-lived and somewhat sloppy.

Now, there's a good handful of people defending Anita ... saying the folks in the front row were, in fact, acting up and testing AB. Others said the performance, at large, was great.

Of course, the larger backdrop to this is the Babyface feud she was in earlier this year while on the road -- during which she got into it with both him and his fans in the Twitter-sphere.

Sean Strickland and Dricus Du Plessis had the most memorable fight of the year at UFC 296 ... thing is, it wasn't in the octagon.

Sean was cage-side for the eventing when Du Plessis, who was sitting behind Sean a few rows, started smack-talking him.

Sean then got out of his seat and pointed his finger at Du Plessis, as if he were firing a shot. Du Plessis was clearly up for some action, telling Sean with his hands to bring it on.

Sean then goes ham, and asks the son of UFC fighter Gilbert Burns to move, which then cleared the path for Sean to jump over a couple rows and start attacking Du Plessis.

This is all the lead-up to what will probably be an epic fight between the 2 guys next month at UFC 297.

They were also at the UFC press conference Friday, where they had to be separated.

Deontay Wilder is warning his fans not to blink during his fight with Joseph Parker later this month ... 'cause the star boxer says he's going to KO his opponent in a flash!!

The 43-2 pugilist made it clear to TMZ Sports this week that that's his plan ... explaining he's not foreseeing any ring rust whatsoever when he steps up to Parker (33-3, 23 KOs) on Dec. 23 in Saudi Arabia.

"I'm expecting to be very fresh," said Wilder, who hasn't fought in over a year. "I'm expecting to be intact. I got a great team on my side and we're looking for greatness. Nothing less."

Wilder wasn't sure of the exact round in which the knockout would happen ... though he guaranteed it'd be "early."

"It's a Deontay Wilder fight, guys," the Bronze Bomber said. "When he's fighting, he always keeps you on the edge of your seat because you don't know when it's gonna happen but when it happens, bam, baby! Goodnight!"

Following the tilt, reports are Wilder will be in line to next take on Anthony Joshua ... though Wilder said nothing is set in stone there just yet.

"It's a lot of different ways it can go," Wilder said, "but at this point, I'm just focusing on Joseph Parker. After that, we'll talk."

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are back to their squabbling ways ... with things so toxic their marriage is now completely beyond repair ... so say sources close to them.

Our sources tell TMZ, the pair's latest falling out doesn't have anything to do with the newly released police body cam footage emerging of their explosive fight from Nov. 20 -- instead, it's over their continued money woes, their home, and the overall state of their marriage.

The pair appeared to have reconciled after the explosive incident at their home ... even enjoying a hibachi lunch date ... though, it didn't last long.

In fact, our sources say their close friends say no amount of therapy will fix things between them ... they just need to accept that and move on with their lives separately -- adding it's the healthiest thing that can happen for them and their kids.

One of their kids actually made the 911 call alerting cops to their infamous fight weeks at their home earlier ... and recently released footage showing police struggling to calm down a fuming Kroy.

Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann están de vuelta con sus peleas, pero las cosas son tan tóxicas que su matrimonio ya es completamente irreparable, o eso dicen fuentes cercanas a ellos.

Nuestras fuentes dicen a TMZ que la última pelea de la pareja no tiene nada que ver con el reciente registro policial que se publicó y muestra su explosiva pelea del 20 de noviembre. Las discusiones son sobre sus continuos problemas de dinero, su casa y el estado general de su matrimonio.

La pareja parecía haberse reconciliado después del explosivo incidente en su casa, incluso disfrutando de un rico almuerzo hibachi. Sin embargo, la paz no duró mucho tiempo.

De hecho, nuestras fuentes dicen que sus amigos cercanos dicen que ninguna terapia puede arreglar las cosas entre ellos y solo tienen que aceptarlo y seguir adelante con sus vidas por separado, añadiendo que es lo más saludable para ellos y sus hijos.

Uno de sus hijos, de hecho, hizo la llamada al 911 para alertar a la policía de su fuerte pelea en casa, y recientemente imágenes que publicamos muestran cómo la policía intenta calmar a un Kroy evidentemente exaltado.

Jake Paul made short work of Andre August in a professional boxing match Friday night ... knocking him out in the first round!!

Paul went toe-to-toe with August in the ring at Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida, but the cruiserweight bout was over just minutes after it began.

Check out the video ...  the boxers dance around the ring trading blows for a bit, yet nothing wildly exciting happens.

That all changes at the 2:32 mark of the first round when Paul throws a powerful right uppercut, clocking August right in the kisser.

August hits the canvas like a sack of potatoes and struggles to get back up to his feet as the referee stops the fight.

Paul celebrates by raising his arm and waving goodbye to August with his gloved hand.

Tony Ferguson may have lost his last 6 fights, but Paddy Pimblett is NOT overlooking the future UFC Hall of Famer ... telling TMZ Sports he's preparing for the "best version" of El Cucuy!

We talked to 28-year-old Pimblett ahead of his UFC 296 scrap with the 39-year-old legend ... and asked what he expected out of Ferguson.

"We've prepared for the best Tony Ferguson possible," Paddy said.

"What I just say is he's on a bit of a decline, and that's why I've said this fight is a lose-lose for me, cause when I win, people are gonna be like, 'you only beat a washed-up Tony' when he's still a dangerous motherf*****, and then if I did happen to lose, people would be like, 'Oh, Paddy's finished. He's just been beat by a finished Tony.'"

Ferguson, who once went on a 12-fight win streak in the UFC (where he beat the likes of Josh Thompson, Rafael dos Anjos, Kevin Lee, Edson Barboza and others), has dropped his last 6 fights, albeit to some of the best fighters in the world (Michael Chandler, Justin Gaethje, Charles Oliveira).

As for 20-3 Pimblett, he's won 6 in a row, including all 4 of his UFC fights. However, his last victory over Jared Gordon wasn't without controversy, and Paddy is looking to make a statement to remind people who he is.

"Biggest fight of my life, definitely. Biggest opponent. Coming back off three major surgeries. Gotta make a big statement after me last fight, simple as that," Pimblett said.

There's a bunch more with Paddy The Baddy ... we also talk about Ferguson training with David Goggins, and a recent impromptu meeting Pimblett had with Ian Garry (we talked to Pimblett before IG was pulled from his fight) at the UFC's gym in Las Vegas, where PP shared advice with the embattled 26-year-old fighter.

Alexandre Pantoja says it'd be an "honor" to fight Demetrious Johnson -- if Mighty Mouse ever were to return to the UFC -- a guy he's looked up to for years, in and out of the cage!

TMZ Sports talked to 33-year-old Pantoja, the UFC's flyweight champion, ahead of his first title defense against Brandon Royval at UFC 296 on Saturday (more on that in just a minute) ... but we also talked about DJ.

"For me, if I have the opportunity to train with Demetrious Johnson it's gonna be awesome for me. If I think about fighting him it's gonna be like heaven. I have respect for him. He's one of the best guys fighting in the world fighting pound-for-pound," Pantoja said of the ONE champ.

But, it's not just about Johnson's exploits in the cage ... it's about how he conducts himself as a person, too.

"He's a family guy. He's a very good example for me. Not just for me, for everyone. He cares about his kids. He cares about his wife. Don't make mistakes, don't make trash talk. Don't try to go to the media with fake news. He is a true warrior and true man and family guy. A very good example of what this world needs right now."

That's about the best compliment a person could get from a peer.

As for what a fight would look like between the champs ... we asked Alexandre, and he answered with a Dragon Ball Z comparison.

Of course, the 125 lb. division was on life support for years ... but thanks to guys like Pantoja, Brandon Moreno, and Deiveson Figueiredo (who has moved up to bantamweight), who built upon what DJ started, the flyweight division is thriving.

If you need proof ... Pantoja and Royval are the co-main event on one of the year's most anticipated cards.

There's more with Alexandre ... who breaks down the matchup with Brandon, and while it's clear AP has a ton of respect for BR, he doesn't plan on giving up his belt come Saturday night!

We also talked to Royval ... who tells us why he's the best in the world and soon-to-be UFC Flyweight champ!

Offset estuvo de fiesta en Miami hasta las 5 AM para celebrar su 32 años sin ninguna preocupación en el mundo. Todo, mientras su esposa Cardi B claramente estaba muy molesta en casa por el estado de su matrimonio.

Offset no solo tuvo una, sino dos fiestas de cumpleaños el jueves. Primero él y su equipo fueron vistos dentro de un lugar muy popular en el Miami Design District, el 'Coco Miami' hasta las 3 AM y luego en un club de South Beach llamado 'Playa' hasta las 5 AM.

Offset usó gafas de sol toda la noche, mirando sin inmutarse en las dos fiestas y estuvo rodeado de mujeres, con una furgoneta llena de ellas.

También asistieron a la fiesta el productor Southside, el hijo de Diddy, Justin Combs, Ari Fletcher y los jugadores de los Miami Heat Jaime Jaquez Jr. y Thomas Bryant.

Ahora sabemos que Offset estaba celebrando como un hombre soltero. Cardi se descargó explosivamente en un directo de IG, que deja bastante claro que su relación ha terminado.

Ella acusó a su marido de jugar con ella y "de sentirse muy orgulloso de él" por su nuevo álbum en solitario, el que ella le ayudó a promover.
