Utah Jazz's Jeff Withey Accused of Domestic Violence ... By Playmate Ex
-
EXCLUSIVE
- 508 shares
Utah Jazz center Jeff Withey has been accused of domestic violence in a police report filed by his Playboy Playmate of the Year ex-fiancee, Kennedy Summers ... TMZ Sports has learned.
Law enforcement sources confirm the report was filed in Manhattan Beach, CA on Tuesday and references multiple alleged incidents. We're told cops are focused on one alleged incident from 2016.
Our law enforcement sources tell us cops were called to an incident involving Withey and Summers last year, but no report was made at the time and nobody was arrested.
Sources connected to Summers tell us she filed the report now because Withey and the Jazz are in an NBA playoff series with the L.A. Clippers and she's concerned for her safety when he's in L.A.
Kennedy’s rep, Zack Teperman, tells us ... "Given the ongoing circumstances, our client now needs to protect herself and come forward about everything so this doesn't happen to her or others in the future."
Withey and Summers have had relationship issues for years -- they broke up back in 2016 after Summers trashed the NBA player on social media when she found out he took someone else on a movie date behind her back.
They reconciled and got engaged a few months later before finally calling things off for good in October.
We reached out to Withey's camp for comment. So far, no word back.

Heather Locklear threw a little accidental shade at David Spade's new gf, but he can't possibly be pissed because she also dropped a huge advertisement ... for his junk!

Spade's secret is simple, according to Heather -- giant sense of humor and something else ... even bigger. She's laughing here, but she ain't joking.
Fun fact: The "Mister" Heather refers to in the clip is her dog. Not David's, umm ...

Chris Brown's Lawyer Karrueche's Out for Self-Promotion Domestic Violence Claims are B.S.
Karreuche's manager Jacob York calls Geragos' claims laughable ... telling us it's insane to think Karreuche would take legal measures against Chris just for press. York adds, "please don't use Karreuche's name to distract from your client's current negative issues ... let's handle it in court."
Chris Brown is the victim of a bunch of thirsty people who make fake allegations to make themselves more famous, and Karrueche Tran is on that train ... so claims Brown's lawyer.
Karrueche's restraining order hearing was put off again Wednesday because she still hasn't been able to locate Brown to serve him with legal docs. Tran claims Chris has punched her, pushed her down the stairs and threatened to shoot her.
Brown's lawyer, Mark Geragos, tells TMZ her claims are bogus, adding, "A lot of people use Chris to enhance their profile."
Geragos says Karrueche's restraining order case is "doomed to failure."
As for why Geragos hasn't simply accepted service on behalf of Chris, he says, "I'm not here to help anybody increase their profile for self-promotion."

The 6 bedroom property sits on the beach with sweet Caribbean views, and the interior ain't too shabby either. We're told it normally goes for $10k/night, and it's easy to see why. They looked pretty chill on the covered patio over the weekend.
As we reported, J Lo and Marc rehearsed together while A-Rod watched, and everyone's so cool with the sitch ... we're told A-Rod's "very interested" in buying in the community.

Jodie Sweetin Ex Can't Release Pics or Vids of Her
Jodie Sweetin's ex-fiance still has to stay the hell away from her, but now he's also been forced to keep a lid on all personal images of Jodie.
The judge modified Jodie's restraining order against Justin Hodak Friday morning. It forbids him from selling, releasing or posting any pics or vids of his ex. We're told Jodie's legal team requested the change just to be safe ... after Justin threatened leaks a couple weeks ago.
Unclear if Justin has anything scandalous/unflattering ... or if he's bluffing, but Jodie wasn't taking the chance.
Hodak was busted last month for violating the restraining order. He was arraigned on Thursday and taken into custody again. He's still in jail.
We got Jodie outside court Friday looking pretty happy about the outcome.

Morena Baccarin Spousal Support Discount Judge Shaves $15k!
Morena Baccarin won big in court Thursday -- a judge greatly reduced the amount of spousal support she has to pay her ex, partly because her TV and movie gigs ain't a lock just yet.
Morena's lawyer, Samantha Spector, told a judge her client's income was truly up in the air, and she couldn't afford to keep paying Austin Chick $20k per month.
Spector pointed out Morena's TV show, "Gotham," hadn't been picked up yet for a 4th season -- and she's not a lock for "Deadpool 2" either. She also argued Austin could support himself with a j-o-b ... at Starbucks.
Morena's been fighting to get this discount, claiming Chick was sucking her finances dry instead of finding work. As of June 1, she'll only have to pay him $5k/month.
We got Morena leaving court with her "Gotham" co-star/BF, Ben McKenzie. They were both tight-lipped, but Morena's grin said a lot.

Chris Brown Quavo from Migos Betrayed Me By Dating Karrueche
Chris Brown is angry, feeling like he was stabbed in the back by Quavo from Migos ... a man he thought was a good friend until he started dating Karrueche Tran.
Our CB sources say ... Chris had both a business and personal relationship with Quavo ... inviting him to his home, collaborating on songs before Migos hit big, and supporting the group by attending multiple promotional parties.
Chris is livid that he actually helped promote Migos' recent hit album, "Culture," at the same time Quavo was secretly seeing his ex-girlfriend.
Chris believes it's no coincidence Karrueche got a restraining order against him at the very time she started getting tight with the Migos rapper. He believes this was orchestrated by both Karrueche and Quavo to clear the decks so they could date, without caring they would make him look like a chump.
Before Chris found out the 2 were dating, he did an interview with Billboard and called Migos "my real friends and brothers" and said, "I will never hate on you ni**as."
Well, now he does.

Mel B Gets Restraining Order Against Nanny Who Husband Allegedly Got Pregnant
Mel B has obtained a restraining order against the nanny she says was having sex with her husband, got pregnant by her husband, and is now extorting her with her husband.
We've learned Mel B's lawyers got a court order to gain access to a storage locker rented by Lorraine Gilles, the nanny in question. Mel B claims the locker contains sex tapes and photos Lorraine and Mel B's estranged husband, Stephen Belafonte, threatened to make public in an effort to destroy her life.
Mel B also says the locker contains boxes and boxes of Spice Girls memorabilia and photos of her recently deceased father.
Mel B flat-out accuses Lorraine and Stephen of extortion. According to the docs, in January 2015 Mel B worked up the courage to fire Lorraine but Stephen went ballistic, calling Lorraine his "ride or die bitch."
Mel B says Stephen threatened to release the sex videos unless she rehired her with a raise, and Stephen looked at Lorraine and said, "Isn't that right, Lorraine," and Lorraine responded, "Yes." Mel B says Lorraine acknowledged she had the videos and would give them to Stephen.
A judge ordered Lorraine to not harass Mel B and to stay 100 yards clear. The judge also ordered her not to remove any property from the Public Storage locker.

Janet Jackson Estranged Husband Returns to House
Janet Jackson's soon-to-be ex-husband looked like every other new bachelor as he went back to their London home Tuesday morning ... if only briefly.
Wissam Al Mana arrived empty-handed at the flat he and Janet used to share. He also left -- chauffeur-driven -- without anything, so he wasn't picking up clothing. We're guessing it was a quick visit to see their son. It's unclear if Janet was home at the time.
As we reported, the couple separated some time in January, shortly after the baby was born.
Looks like he's the one who moved out. Finding a bachelor pad should be easy for Wissam ... he's worth a billion.

Karrueche Tran Skirts Away With Quavo ... Solo
Karrueche Tran is taking some much needed alone time away from her Chris Brown drama ... and she's doing it with Quavo from Migos.
Quavo was performing with his crew and a bunch of other rappers Saturday night at Gulf Coast Spring Fest in Biloxi, Mississippi, where we're told Karrueche watched from backstage.
After the show, Quavo and co. left the stage to make their way toward the exit with Karrueche in tow. Eyewitnesses tell us Quavo gave her a hug before they rode off together in the same whip ... by themselves.
Looks like Karrueche's CB courtroom battle has her feeling a little bad and boujee.
