NFL Star Accused of Barbaric Hit On Pregnant GF

Published | Updated

A shocking lawsuit just filed ... a woman claims the father of her unborn baby -- an NFL star -- conspired to brutally beat her up.

Sharri Henry alleges last May, when she was four months pregnant, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dennis Northcutt got his cousin to "maliciously assault, beat, strike and batter Plaintiff, her face and head with great force and violence ... causing severe and permanent disfigurement to her face."

We've confirmed Henry filed a report with the LAPD for the incident that allegedly went down outside Falcon Club in Hollywood on May 17.

In the lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Henry alleges battery and conspiracy to commit assault. She's seeking unspecified damages.

BTW, Northcutt just inked a $17 million contract with his team.

UPDATE: IT JUST GOT CRAZIER. Northcutt's sports agent, Jerome Stanley, told TMZ, "This was nothing but a desperate shakedown by a jilted ex-girlfriend who is claiming to be pregnant with his child." Stanley says Henry is upset because Northcutt dumped her for another girl. As for the assault, Stanley says, "She verbally antagonized the guy who hit her." He says Northcutt knew nothing about the attack until after it happened.

Henry's lawyer, Loyst P. Fletcher, just gave TMZ the following statement: "Mr. Northcutt and his entourage, which included his current girlfriend, were apparently angry that Ms. Henry refused to abort a child that she believed he fathered. Words were exchanged and a member of that entourage, whom we believe is Mr. Northcutt's cousin, viciously attacked Ms. Henry." She's now 7 months pregnant.

Tila Tequila's GF Gets Slap Happy in Vegas

Published | Updated

TMZ has learned Tila Tequila's lesbian girlfriend was arrested in Vegas last night -- for allegedly hitting on a guy!

According to law enforcement sources in Las Vegas, it all went down outside of Pure nightclub when a boozed up Courtenay Semel, daughter of former Yahoo! CEO Terry Semel, "smacked" a security guard in the back of the head on her way out of the place.

Courtenay was immediately detained by Caesars Palace security while members of her posse -- including Vegas showman Jeff Beacher -- waited for cops to arrive. Four hours later, law enforcement arrived and issued Semel a citation for battery. We're thinking daddy can probably cover the fine.

Attempts to reach a rep for Semel were unsuccessful.

Mams -- Mad Cow Booted from Steak Joint

Published | Updated

Rapper Mams Taylor picked a beef with the wrong dude last night. He was thrown out of STK after doing what he does best -- bitchslappin' a fool!

The dude more famous for knocking Jesse Metcalfe on his ass than his "music" showed up at STK late for his reservation, then greased the maitre d' with $200. You would think this story had a happy ending, but the MD began intentionally calling Mams the wrong name -- a slap in the face to someone that famous.

Mams, thoroughly pissed off, tells us he then "touched his [the MD's] face" -- also known as a "bitchslap" -- and said, "Why don't we go outside and discuss this?" The MD, more chicken than #4 on the menu, screamed for security.

As the beefy men headed for the door, Mams grabbed the MD by the neck and said, "You're lucky I'm leaving." In fairness to Mams, we saw him kick Jesse's ass, so he's probably right.
