If you thought life couldn't get worse for the alleged 'Scream' mask, gangbang teacher Brittany Fortinberry, then think again!

Fortinberry has been cooling her heels in jail since her February arrest and has been charged with 41 felonies, including sex crimes against minors — and now she's been sued by a bank for skipping out on credit card payments.

Synchrony Bank filed the lawsuit Wednesday in an Indiana court, claiming Fortinberry failed to pay $2,125.50 in credit fees she amassed since opening the account in 2021.

Ghislaine Maxwell answered questions from the feds about 100 people linked to Jeffrey Epstein ... at least according to her lawyer.

Epstein's child sex trafficking associate reportedly received limited immunity before sitting down for two days this week to chat with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche.

Ghislaine's lawyer, David Oscar Markus, reportedly told journalists Maxwell fielded questions about 100 different people linked to Epstein ... and he says his client was asked every possible thing imaginable.

TikTok influencer Emilie Kiser's husband, Brady, just dodged criminal charges in the tragic drowning of their 3-year-old son, Trigg Kiser.

The child was found lifeless in the family's Arizona pool back in May, and cops recommended a felony child abuse charge against Brady ... but prosecutors declined to pursue any charges.

In a Friday afternoon news dump, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell announced Brady will not be charged because "there is no reasonable likelihood of conviction."

NBA YoungBoy's verses have featured plenty of wild claims -- including one about his soon-to-arrive thirteenth child!

The rapper made the news about his plans known in a verse from his new track "If You Need Me," in which he made a reference to his wife being "on our 3rd kid."

In light of the songwriter's claim, we're going to take a look at the lives of the performer's other children and get a glimpse of the musician's family life.

Some people just can't wait to have kids ... and it looks like YoungBoy's one of them, as he welcomed his first son, Kayden, when he was still a teenager!

The rap star shares his eldest child with Nisha Keller, and although they separated after Kayden's birth, they ended up getting back together further down the road ... more on that later.

YoungBoy's second son, Taylin, arrived in March 2017, and he shares the child with another ex-girlfriend, named Nia.

The thing is, he ended up reuniting with an old ex, Starr Dejanee, and they welcomed his third baby boy, Kamiri, the following year.

The performer also helps raise his ex's son Kamron -- whom he initially thought was his own, although a DNA test later proved otherwise.

Not all of the rap star's relationships have exactly been conventional, and he ended up in hot water for his treatment of one of his baby mamas, Jania Meshell.

YoungBoy was allegedly caught body-slamming his ex on camera in February 2018, and he was arrested on a kidnapping warrant the same month.

He later worked out a plea deal and pled guilty to misdemeanor simple battery family violence. He was required to not have any violent contact with his girlfriend.

YoungBoy and Jania ultimately reconciled and welcomed a son named Kacey in February 2019 -- although they wound up breaking up.

Remember how we said Nisha would show up again earlier on? Well, it turns out the performer briefly reconciled with his ex, and she gave birth to his first daughter, Armani, in June 2020.

And he didn't have to wait too long to expand his family again ... because another one of his girlfriends, Drea Symone, gave birth to a baby girl named Kodi just five months later!

The performer's family only kept expanding further, as another ex of his, Yaya Mayweather, gave birth to his son Kentrell Jr. in January 2021.

It looked like YoungBoy was ready to settle down about then, as he started dating Jazlyn Mychelle in 2020 and married her in 2023 ... but the kids just kept coming!

The rapper didn't exactly wait to start a family with Mychelle, because their first child, a daughter named Alice, was born in August 2021.

And they didn't exactly wait for too long to give Alice a younger sibling, the rapper's now-wife gave birth to their son Klemenza the following September.

The pair's eldest child was named after YoungBoy's grandmother, according to Billboard, and his son was named for a character from "The Godfather" ... which is a pretty cool reference, if you ask us.

Oh, and we should mention the performer allegedly fathered two children, including a daughter named Kiori, with two separate women in 2023, which brings the rapper's apparent total count of kids to 12 -- which puts him neck-and-neck with Nick Cannon, in case you were wondering.

1:57 PM PT -- Little League just released a statement on the ruling, saying, in part, "While we understand and support the excitement and competition of our tournament, player safety and proper sportsmanship among all participants and fans must remain a focus. We respect the determination and judgement of the umpire who was present and are disappointed that a legal ruling contradicts the integrity of Little League International’s value and rules."

The Little Leaguer who was suspended for his bat-flip celebration just had his ban overturned.

TMZ Sports has confirmed Gloucester County Chancery Judge Robert Malestein ruled in the youth baseball player's favor on Thursday ... just two days after the boy's father, Joseph Rocco, sued Little League to get his son's punishment thrown out.

Malestein said part of the basis for his decision centered on official Little League accounts previously celebrating bat flips.

Dog the Bounty Hunter's stepson Gregory Zecca has been placed on a psychiatric hold as he grieves the death of his son, who was killed in an accidental shooting at the Zecca residence.

A rep for the family tells TMZ ... Greg has been put on a 5150 psychiatric hold because he is so devastated by the loss of his only son, Anthony ... and we're told there were concerns Gregory might try and take his own life.

The rep tells us the hold is because Greg is stricken by grief and not because he feels guilty of a crime in relation to the shooting.

Three 6 Mafia star Project Pat's son was killed in January and law enforcement now believes they've nabbed the people responsible.

Jones remains in custody and is expected to be extradited to Memphis to face charges. Houston Jr. was only 21 at the time of his death.

Dog The Bounty Hunter's family is going through a really tough time right now, as his step-grandson, Anthony, was accidentally shot and killed on Saturday night.

And we revealed the person behind the tragic incident was none other than Anthony's father and Dog's stepson, Gregory Zecca.

We're going to take a look at the background of the bounty hunter's family member and check out what went down during the accidental shooting.

Zecca is the son of Dog's wife, Francie -- whom the professional bounty hunter married in 2021 -- and one of her former spouses.

He described himself as a "Father, Bounty Hunter, Podcaster, Small Business Owner" on his Instagram account, which has been disabled.

Zecca appears to have been involved with an auto repair and customization business, Rebel Customs, and he later joined his stepfather's bounty hunting team.

He also hosted the "Beyond The Bounty With Greg Zecca" podcast, although its final episode was uploaded to Spotify in 2021.

Zecca shared Anthony with Alexandria Lane, according to the Daily Mail, and he'd posted several photos of his son using firearms on his Instagram account.

Sources told us Anthony's accidental shooting took place at Gregory's apartment in Naples, Florida, around 8 PM E.T.

Law enforcement sources later revealed Anthony, who was just 13 years old, had an entry wound located on his neck, and the teenager had lost a considerable amount of blood by the time emergency responders arrived at the apartment.

Although life-saving measures were performed on the teenager, he was pronounced dead at 10:21 PM E.T.

The gun reportedly used during the tragic accident was sitting on the kitchen island when responders arrived at the scene.

An investigation into what led to Anthony's shooting is currently underway, and no one has been arrested in connection with the incident.

Anthony's accidental death hit Zecca's extended family hard, and Dog and Francie issued a statement through a representative to share their grief with the public.

The pair said they were "grieving" and described Anthony's shooting as an "incomprehensible tragic accident."

Dog and Francie's family is asking for "continued prayers as we mourn the loss of our beloved grandson."

Dog the Bounty Hunter's late step-grandson snapped photos with his father at a gun range years before his pops shot and killed him ... and the chilling images are surfacing online.

Police have recommended a child abuse charge against influencer Emilie Kiser's husband, Brady, in the tragic drowning of their 3-year-old son, Trigg Kiser.

The Chandler Police Department tells TMZ ... it has completed its investigation into Trigg's death, who died on May 12 after being found unresponsive in his family’s backyard pool in Arizona.

Following a thorough review of the evidence, investigators have recommended a Class 4 felony charge of child abuse against Brady, and the case has been submitted to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for review.

What's interesting ... Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman told us Haskell had purchased a one-way plane ticket for himself to Japan with his girlfriend before he was arrested, so there's evidence he was going to abandon his kids.
