Fights

Giannis Antetokounmpo couldn't beat the Pacers on Tuesday night, but he sure laid the smackdown on their team's best player's father afterward -- ripping Tyrese Haliburton's dad for his actions following Indiana's big win over Milwaukee.

Giannis and Haliburton's pops, John, got into it immediately after Indy took down the Bucks, 119-118, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

Tyrese had just hit the game-winner, and in order to celebrate, John raced onto the floor and waved a towel with his son's face on it in front of Giannis.

Beyoncé's first Cowboy Carter concert turned into a WWE event after her performance ended ... because a bunch of her fans started brawling in the VIP lounge.

Ya gotta see the video ... as Beyoncé fans are making their way to the exits at SoFi Stadium, a group of women get into a huge fight ... and bodies start flying and hitting the deck.

It seems this all started with an argument, and things get really heated when one woman knocks a cowboy hat off another woman's head ... leading to a bunch of pushing, shoving, falling and cowboy-boot kicking.

Kyle Richards says there's more to her dramatic confrontation with a woman on the street ... 'cause Kyle claims she only went after her because she was dragging her dog across the street -- something cameras didn't quite capture.

We caught up with the reality television star outside the Beverly Hilton Hotel Monday night ... and, we had to ask her about her intense argument with a dog walker earlier this month.

ICYMI ... photogs caught Kyle running up to a woman and getting in her face about the way she was treating her dogs -- which set the woman off and nearly led to a full-on fistfight.

Puka Nacua's brother, Samson Nacua, has more than just the UFL investigation to worry about after he slapped a fan at Saturday's game -- St. Louis Police tell TMZ Sports they are currently looking into the matter.

A spokesperson says the department is aware of the video from the St. Louis Battlehawks game on Saturday ... which shows Samson, who plays for the Michigan Panthers, slapping a fan at The Dome at America's Center.

"We are conducting a thorough investigation into the incident and we are working to obtain video from The Dome at America's Center that may have captured what led up to the encounter," the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department said.

A Florida man ended up behind bars last weekend after he was busted for allegedly roughing up an 11-year-old girl who he thought pelted his home with eggs.

The crazy incident occurred Saturday afternoon at a Tampa, FL, apartment complex and was partly captured on dramatic video recorded by a witness.

Check it out ... the suspect, Marius Mutu, is seen pinning the girl to the ground outside the building as she screams and cries for help. The girl swears to god she didn't do anything wrong, but her words fall on deaf ears. Mutu won't let her go.

George Clooney says he and his wife Amal Clooney are looking for something to fight over ... and if they do, it will be a first.

The actor made the dubious claim in a recent interview with Gayle King on "CBS Mornings."

George recalled telling Gayle in 2022 that he'd never had an argument with Amal ... and then he claimed the same holds true to this day.

10:55 AM PT -- Ely Murray-Quick, the man seen in the viral back-and-forth video with South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace, posted a statement on Facebook Monday about the incident, directed at Mace herself. He says, in part ...

"If Nancy Mace invested even half as much effort into crafting actual policy or advocating for the people of South Carolina as she does posting about my outfits and spinning dramatics about a two-second public interaction, maybe — just maybe — her district wouldn’t be clinging to the bottom rung of national rankings in education, infrastructure, and healthcare access. But alas, we get performative outrage, keyboard crusades, and a woman who clings to victimhood like it’s the last microphone on Fox News."

Congresswoman Nancy Mace isn’t backing down -- in fact, she’s doubling down on an argument that went viral this weekend, even as the internet’s still split on who really started the drama.

Mace kicked off the week swinging, posting on X -- "Good morning to everyone except men who wear daisy dukes" -- a clear jab at the guy she clashed with in that viral clip, who she flamed not just for his tiny short-shorts, but for browsing in a makeup store too.

Nancy seemed to be on a bit of a press tour, hyping up her upcoming 77 WABC radio interview on X -- teasing she'd be talking "daisy dukes and lunatics who get in the faces of conservatives." She posted on her personal account, not her official one. Should be noted ... the man in question was not wearing denim cut-offs, just saying.

John Cena just became the first 17-time champion in WWE history after beating Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 ... but he didn't do it alone -- he got a bit of an assist from Travis Scott in the process.

The main event just went down at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas ... with Cena and Rhodes brutalizing each other as the former looked to surpass Ric Flair as the most decorated wrestler in the organization.

Mid-match, La Flame showed up and made a lengthy walk to the ring to help his buddy, Cena ... and played a crucial role by going after the ref when Rhodes tried to secure the win.

Looks like NBA player DeMar DeRozan got more than he ordered at a sushi place Friday night ... 'cause we have video of him getting into a heated altercation.

Check it out -- he's clearly PO'd as he gets physical with another male who's lying on the ground with his legs sticking straight up in the air. The fight looks pretty serious ... the Sacramento Kings small forward is going after the man, but is held off by another person in a suit.

Once the other party is back on his feet, he demands his phone be handed over, which seems to infuriate DeMar ... who lunges at him.

John Rocker's still pissed he's not fighting Patrick Mahomes Sr. this month, and he's taking his anger out on those who he believes scuttled the bout -- Patrick Mahomes II ... and the Kansas City quarterback's "loser wife."

Rocker, of course, was supposed to step in the ring with the elder Mahomes later Friday as part of Dave Portnoy's "Rough N Rowdy" promotion ... but back in late February, the Barstool Sports honcho announced the scrap was off.

Portnoy stated on an episode of "The Unnamed Show" that he believed Mahomes II and his longtime partner, Brittany, torpedoed things ... and on his X page Friday, Rocker made it clear he thought the same.

A night out at the golf course ended up looking more like an MMA fight for a pair of Canadians on Monday.

Check out some video from Two Eagles Golf Course & Academy in West Kelowna, BC ... you can see two groups appeared to get into a quarrel over pace of play -- before things turned violent.

Based on some of the commentary in the footage, one of the groups seemed upset that the other was being impatient with how long their swings were taking ... and confronted them on a tee box.

Tokyo Toni thought it would be a good idea to invite a stray fan to live with her ... an idea that exploded in her face when the two women began throwing blows!!!

On Tuesday, Tokyo let fans into her turmoil for the past 6 weeks since she opened her heart and the doors to her home.

Tokyo says the woman posed as a fan -- and as a music producer who was down and out and needed to get back on her feet.

Mickey Rourke faced off with another housemate on "Celebrity Big Brother" before his early exit ... and, while the confrontation didn't come to blows, it looks like it got very close.

The veteran actor -- who we already knew had been booted from 'CBB' for continually using abusive language and behaving inappropriately toward his fellow housemates -- appeared in the episode that aired Sunday, featuring a pirate-themed quest with his fellow contestants.

During a challenge where the group was forced to reveal hard truths about one another in order to open treasure chests ... Chris Hughes -- a reality television star and pro soccer player -- stared down Mickey, who didn't appreciate the look one bit.

12:53 PM PT -- The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office confirmed in a news release Friday the use-of-force incident is under investigation. Officials said deputies were responding to multiple reports of a man walking in traffic and making obscene gestures at drivers Thursday night. The suspect, identified as Le Chau, allegedly began fighting with the female deputy who was first to arrive and who tried to handcuff the man. The fight went to the ground, and a second arriving deputy helped detain the suspect ... who allegedly ignored requests to stop resisting and fighting, resulting in the strikes to his head.

Chau was handcuffed and then treated at a hospital. When he was later booked for resisting an officer with force or violence, battery on a police officer, and disturbing the peace by intoxication, officials say, he again "initiated a physical confrontation" with deputies, resulting in more charges. The Sheriff's Office says Chau has been arrested more than 20 times since 2014, with multiple convictions for resisting an officer.

Law enforcement in Louisiana used a suspect's head as a punching bag during an arrest in broad daylight on a public street -- and the vicious beatdown was all caught on video.

Check out the wild footage, obtained by TMZ ... two cops are trying to restrain the man who is lying on his side on the the ground in Harvey, LA, in the New Orleans metro area, around 6:30 PM Thursday.

As you can see ... one the officers is kneeling down to cuff the man while the other cop is standing over him during the struggle.

Michael Chandler could walk away an MMA great today ... but the lightweight title contender believes he's still got a ton left in the tank, and he's intent on proving it when he steps into the Octagon against Paddy Pimblett at UFC 314!

TMZ Sports talked to 38-year-old Chandler, who's coming off two losses, just days before his highly anticipated co-main event scrap vs. Paddy "The Baddy" ... slated to go down Saturday night in Miami.

"It's another opportunity for me to prove either I am who I say I am or I'm not. Do I still have it? There's a lot of questions that need to get answered. And I think the answers are going to be emphatic and the answers are going to be in my favor."

Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp’s peaceful sidewalk stroll went from zero to 60 when they found themselves in a tense showdown with another woman.

It’s on video -- Kyle confronts this woman in Encino on Wednesday after seeing her acting aggressively towards her dogs. But the woman loses it real quick, yanking off her scarf, tossing it to the ground like it’s go-time, and heading straight for Kyle, ready to throw down.

It’s hard to tell if the woman was definitely planning on getting physical or just getting up close and personal with some fighting words, but she was definitely coming for Kyle. Luckily, Teddi was as cool as a cucumber, standing in the middle and blocking her from getting near her pal.
