Justin Bieber SUED For MMA Moves On Paparazzo

Published | Updated

Little Justin Bieber has been sued by a photographer who claims the singer delivered a crushing MMA-type kick to his abdomen, after a perfectly lovely date with then-GF Selena Gomez.

Jose Osmin Hernandez Duran claims when he was shooting the then-couple at The Commons in Calabasas last year ... Justin was trying to maneuver his brand spanking new Mercedes out of the parking lot. The suit alleges Justin became frustrated at the photogs, jumped out of the car and "delivered a martial arts-type kick ... in the lower rib cage on the left side of his abdomen."

But the suit alleges the attack continued, when Justin used his left fist to punch the photog on the right side of his face. Justin allegedly then pushed the photog against a parked car. The suit claims Selena actually returned to the scene a few minutes later to look for her cell phone and apologized for Justin.

The lawsuit is interesting ... citing a litany of alleged misdeeds committed by JB, including assaulting a former bodyguard, bullying a woman, driving at reckless speeds in his gated community, stealing a pap's SIM card and threatening to kill a neighbor.

The photog doesn't give a specific amount he wants for the alleged assault and battery.

Chris Brown Victim He Went Nuts And Called Me 'Bitch!'

Published | Updated

8:10 AM PT Chris' lawyer, Mark Geragos, just told TMZ, the criminal hit-and-run charge against his client is "B.S." Geragos says Chris gave the other driver his Virginia driver's license and also gave her an insurance card.

Geragos says Chris has 2 cars, and the Fireman's Insurance card he forked over was for his Lamborghini -- not the Range Rover he was driving. Geragos acknowledges Chris didn't have a California DL, but says it's ridiculous to charge him with hit-and-run given that he turned over sufficient identifying info.

Chris Brown went insane on the woman whose car he hit last month, screaming at her, "Who do you think you are, Bitch?" ... and it got so bad, Karrueche Tran yelled to Chris, "Don't touch her, don't touch her!"

In a written statement to cops -- obtained by TMZ -- the victim, Olga Gure-Kovalenko says after Chris rear-ended her Mercedes, they pulled to the side of the road, got out and they both took pictures of the vehicles.

Things went South quickly when Olga asked for Chris' driver's license, registration and insurance info. Karrueche handed over HER DL, and Olga wisely said she needed to see Chris' DL. Karrueche said she was the owner of the vehicle so Chris didn't need to supply any info. Olga says she persisted and asked for Chris' info.

When Chris and Karrueche refused to cooperate, Olga felt she needed to get a picture of the 2 of them in case they split. As soon as she snapped the pic (above), she says Chris and Karrueche went nuts.

Olga says, "The guy [Chris] tried to grab camera or me. I jumped back, the girl [Karrueche] screamed, 'Don't touch her, don't touch her!'"

Olga says Chris then started to rant, "You are a bitch! Who do you think you are, bitch? Do you think if you driving Mercedes so got money, bitch?"

And then Olga says Chris dropped this, "Do you think I am just a black n***er."

Olga says Chris continued screaming and then "slammed a door and drove away fast and noisy."

Olga says Chris also "bragged about how much money he has and offered up false registration."

Olga's lawyer, Freddy Sayegh says his client didn't know the driver was Chris Brown at the time of the accident.

LeSean McCoy: Party Bus Accuser ADMITS I Never Touched Her

Published | Updated

NFL superstar LeSean McCoy believes he has a smoking gun that proves he NEVER physically assaulted a woman on a party bus back in 2012 -- a text message -- and TMZ has a copy of the digital evidence.

The Philadelphia Eagles running back just filed new documents in his legal war with "Mary Roe" -- a woman who sued McCoy claiming she was assaulted and badly injured on his party bus back in December after she objected to being sprayed with water.

In his legal response, McCoy included a text message that "Roe" -- aka Brandi -- allegedly sent to another woman in which the accuser states, "Lesean [sic] didn't touch me physically."

In the text, Brandi says she has bruises and a lump on her head from the incident -- but she needs witnesses to back up her allegations that McCoy ordered his bodyguard to rough her up.

The alleged text continues, "I'm trying to keep Leseans [sic] name out of this even if he encouraged his body guard initially at first."

"I know this isn't a pretty situation but females go thru things like this all the time and it gets brushed under the rug or thrown out. I have 2 other girls that I'm hoping will at least speak to my lawyer as well."

Brandi is suing both McCoy and a man she believes to be his bodyguard for more than $50k in damages for assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false imprisonment and negligence.

McCoy claims the allegations are complete BS -- and insists the woman is simply trying to shake him down for some cash.

Name: Alessandra Mendes
Pet Peeves: Getting punched in the face at Playboy mansion parties.
Likes: The $60k settlement she just got for getting punched at Playboy mansion party.

TMZ has learned ... the chick who allegedly took a fat German fist to the face (from a fat German rapper) during a party at the Playboy mansion back in 2009 has just struck a deal to drop her case.

We broke the story ... Mendes claims a famous German rapper named Xatar got all drunk and unruly at the shindig and popped her right in the kisser ... breaking her nose.

Mendes sued everybody under the sun ... but eventually struck a settlement with Playboy and The Privilege Agency, which apparently had a role in throwing the event.

Playboy kicked in $31,250 ... explaining they just wanted to "buy its peace" and make the case go away. Privilege kicked another $31,250 ... totaling a fat $62,500 settlement.

We reached out to Alessandra -- but got no response ... so we typed her name into Google images and found some pretty hot lingerie pics of a person who might be her. At least we hope it's her. If so, her nose healed quite nicely.

As we reported, the alleged victim was subsequently transported to a nearby hospital with severe injuries to his head, face, and back. Pippen has since spoken with authorities and he was not arrested.

Maurice Jones-Drew NO CHARGES in Alleged Bar Attack

Published | Updated

NFL superstar Maurice Jones-Drew will NOT be charged with battery for allegedly socking a security guard in the face during a bar fight in Florida last month ... TMZ has learned.
