El abogado de Jonathan Majors dice que un nuevo ángulo de él terminando con una pelea entre dos chicas de secundaria debería ser suficiente para desacreditar las acusaciones de que todo era un truco de relaciones públicas.

El abogado del actor, Priya Chaudhry, dice a TMZ ... la sugerencia de la pelea fuera de Hollywood High fue puesta en escena es "absurda" y uno de los estudiantes involucrados en la lucha desde entonces ha salido y confirmó que todo era legítimo.

La abogada de Jonathan se refiere a una publicación en las redes sociales que muestra un nuevo ángulo de la pelea, publicado en la aplicación de Elon Musk por alguien que afirma que van a la escuela con las chicas que estaban luchando.

Después de que publicáramos la historia de Jonathan interrumpiendo la pelea y obtuviéramos el vídeo, los teóricos de la conspiración inundaron Internet con afirmaciones de que todo era un truco de relaciones públicas para hacer quedar bien a JM en medio de su caso de agresión. Algunos pensaron que las personas que se peleaban eran actores a sueldo.

Pero su abogada insiste en que no es así y dice que el nuevo ángulo debería disipar cualquier duda.

Jonathan Majors' lawyer says a new angle of him breaking up a fight between two high school girls should be enough to debunk allegations it was all a PR stunt.

The actor's attorney, Priya Chaudhry, tells TMZ ... the suggestion the fight outside Hollywood High was staged is "absurd" and one of the students involved in the fight has since come out and confirmed it was all legit.

Jonathan's lawyer is referring to a social media post showing a new angle from the fight, posted on Elon Musk's app by someone claiming they go to school with the girls who were fighting.

After we broke the story of Jonathan breaking up the fight and obtained the video, conspiracy theorists flooded the internet with claims it was all a PR stunt to make JM look good in the middle of his assault case. Some thought the people fighting were paid actors.

But his lawyer insists that's not the case ... and she says the new angle should remove any doubt.

A court in Spain has ordered Luis Rubiales to steer clear of Jenni Hermoso -- the player he kissed on the lips after the World Cup last month -- as the former soccer president is now under investigation for sexual assault.

Spain's High Court issued the ruling on Friday ... saying Rubiales must stay at least 200 meters away from the 33-year-old Spanish soccer player.

Prosecutors in the country recently launched an investigation into the ex-soccer federation president after Hermoso opted to lodge a formal complaint against Rubiales.

As part of the investigation, Luis was hauled in front of the judge for questioning, and that's when he was told he couldn't have any contact with his accuser.

Rubiales was on hand for this morning's hearing but did not speak with media, who assembled outside the National Court.

Hermoso's lawyer, however, did make a short statement.

"We maintain what we've said from the beginning. It was a nonconsensual kiss," Hermoso's attorney Carla Vall said.

"Thanks to the [images of the kiss], the entire world, the entire country, has been able to observe there was no type of consent. And we are going to prove that in the courtroom."

Of course, it all dates back to what should've been one of their happiest professional moments ... when Spain defeated England for their first World Cup title on August 20 in Sydney.

But, rather than being a joyous occasion, it turned into an international incident that ended with the players threatening to boycott, and the entire coaching staff either resigning or getting fired.

New police video, obtained by TMZ Sports, shows Adam "Pacman" Jones went ballistic on cops following his arrest earlier this week ... throwing a tantrum, while calling some of the officers "stupid f***ers!"

The ex-NFL star's outburst happened at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport on Sept. 11 ... when officials booted him from a plane after they said he had argued with employees over his seat's electrical outlet.

Body cam footage shows that once he got off the aircraft ... he tried to tell cops what had happened -- but almost immediately, a verbal altercation broke out.

"You need to learn how to talk to a motherf***er, bro," Jones said to one officer on the jetway. "'Cause I don't mind going to jail. I'm letting you know that. But, you better learn how to motherf***ing talk to somebody. Because you ain't my daddy, n****."

When someone tried to calm Jones down ... he screamed, "This s*** is wrong!" Seconds later, cops slapped the cuffs on him -- and then his meltdown really began.

Sources close to Pacman say he was agitated because he was kicked off the plane when he believed he did nothing wrong ... so anything he said was in the heat of the moment, and he still maintains he's the one in the right.

Jones yelled and cussed at cops as they took him away from the plane ... and when they got him in the back of a squad car, he unloaded on one officer in particular.

"You said I was drunk," he screamed from the backseat. "Bitch, breathalyze me. I'm not drunk!"

The cop then told him he reeked of alcohol ... which set Jones off further.

"How the f*** you going to lock me up for alcohol and you ain't breathalyze me?!" he continued. "You sound stupid as f***. It's 6 AM in the morning, n****. I had one f***ing drink, which was a Pinot f***ing Grigiot. Go to the f***ing bar and ask them. You stupid f***ers!"

Meanwhile, back on the plane, body cam video shows the pilot and a flight attendant both told a cop Jones was being unruly -- forcing them to go back to the gate.

Eventually, officers transported Jones to a nearby jail ... where he was booked on misdemeanor charges of alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct and terroristic threatening -- before he was released.

Jones has been adamant that he did nothing wrong on the plane ... saying he just wanted his outlet to work so he could use his iPad to prep for the New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills Monday Night Football game.

Jeezy is pulling the plug on his marriage to Jeannie Mai -- the Atlanta rapper filed Thursday to divorce the talk show host in Fulton County Superior Court.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Jeezy filed in Georgia on Thursday … saying their marriage is "irretrievably broken," with "no hope for reconciliation."

Jeezy’s seeking joint legal and physical custody of their 1-year-old daughter, Monaco, and he says they have an existing prenup in place.

The news could've very well been news to Jeannie ... she recently celebrated her soon-to-be ex's book and his accomplishments on a heartfelt IG post just a week ago.

Their union was a relatively short-lived affair ... the pair got hitched in March 2021 at their Atlanta home in the heart of the pandemic.

Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-lee Furness, are calling it quits ... and it's an amicable decision that's putting an end to 27 years of marriage.

TMZ confirmed their breakup and in a statement given to People Friday, they said that they've been "blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage."

Hugh and Deborra-lee say their journey is now "shifting," and that they've decided to "separate to pursue our individual growth." They go on to mention their family always will be a top priority, and they're moving on with "gratitude, love, and kindness."

The 2 met back in 1995 on the set of the Australian TV show, "Corelli," tying the knot less than a year after that. They share 2 kids together -- 23-year-old Oscar and 18-year-old Ava.

Hugh posted about Deborra-lee back in April on their 27-year anniversary ... saying her "laughter, your spirit, generosity, humor, cheekiness, courage and loyalty is an incredible gift to me. I love you with all my heart."

Hugh Jackman y su esposa, Deborra-lee Furness, se separan. Es una decisión amistosa que pone fin a 27 años de matrimonio.

Revelaron su ruptura en un comunicado que emitio People el viernes, comenzaron diciendo que han sido "bendecidos por compartir casi 3 décadas juntos como marido y mujer en un maravilloso y amoroso matrimonio."

Hugh y Deborra-lee dicen que su viaje está ahora "cambiando", y que han decidido "separarse para perseguir nuestro crecimiento individual." Continúan mencionando que su familia siempre será una prioridad y que siguen adelante con "gratitud, amor y bondad".

Los dos se conocieron en 1995 en el plató de la serie australiana "Corelli" y se casaron menos de un año después. Tienen dos hijos en común: Oscar de 23 años y Ava de 18.

Hugh habló de Deborra-lee en abril durante su aniversario número 27, diciendo que su "risa, espíritu, generosidad, humor, descaro, valentía y lealtad son un regalo increíble para mí. Te quiero con todo mi corazón"

UFC Hall of Famer Pat Miletich -- the promotion's first-ever welterweight champion -- was arrested for allegedly driving drunk in Iowa Thursday morning ... after a witness said they saw the MMA legend driving his truck the wrong way down a one-way street.

Authorities in Bettendorf, Iowa received a call early Thursday morning for a man allegedly driving against the flow of traffic on a one-way street, before crossing an embankment and parking at a nearby gas station.

Once on the scene, police say they found 57-year-old Miletich asleep behind the wheel ... with the truck still in gear.

Cops woke him up, and Miletich admitted to drinking wine, according to an incident report. Police say Pat had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, was unsteady on his feet, and reeked of alcohol.

They attempted to put Pat through a field sobriety test, but he refused. He also refused the Breathalyzer.

Given his alleged condition, and evidence on the scene that supported the accusation Pat was driving erratically, Miletich was arrested for Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), 3rd Offense, a class D felony in the state.

Pat was booked into Scott County jail at 6:16 AM. He was listed at 5'10" and 200 pounds.

Miletich was in custody for just short of two hours before being released at 8 AM after posting $5k bond.

If you're not familiar with Pat ... he's one of the first MMA stars. He took his first pro MMA fight in 1995, and went on to become UFC welterweight champion, fighting 39 pro fights along the way.

It was Pat's third arrest for driving drunk ... he was popped in 2019 and 2021.

The arrest comes as Miletich is preparing to return to the MMA cage. He's fighting 38-year-old Mike Jackson (of CM Punk fame) at Caged Aggression on October 14.

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann's efforts to dig outta their deep financial hole, amid their divorce, aren't going that well -- their Georgia home is teetering on foreclosure once again, TMZ has learned.

According to online records, their Alpharetta mansion is in pre-foreclosure again, with the pending sale date listed as November 7. It isn't technically in foreclosure yet, but it certainly appears to be heading in that direction -- indicating they've missed some mortgage payments.

As we reported, Kroy filed docs last month, asking for an emergency hearing to authorize selling their $3 million house, saying their financial woes were getting worse and the sale could cover their "significant debt."

Kroy claimed they were struggling to make their monthly mortgage payments, having to sell off his backpacks and other personal belongings to make enough cash to cover what was owed.

He says he asked Kim to sell her purses for contribution, but she refused.

Kroy claims Kim sold some bags, wigs, and other high-end items ... but added, "None of the funds garnered from the sale of these items have gone towards the mortgage, or any other bills."

Kroy claimed they weren't able to make their mortgage payment in July, presenting the prospect of foreclosure ... which is why he's pushing to unload the property.

Regarding Kroy's push to sell the house, his attorney, Maryls A. Bergstrom, tells TMZ ... "We are going to court on September 27th to request that the court order the home sold."

Don't forget, their family home faced foreclosure back in February, with the estate set to be auctioned off the following month ... but they were able to stop the sale and keep the spot through their payments.

Hunter Biden no se veía preocupado antes de ser acusado. El día anterior al juicio se le vio con su hijo de 3 años de edad —Beau Jr.—  cominedo en Malibú.

El hijo del presidente Joe Biden estaba tratando de mantener un bajo perfil el miércoles en la gran apertura de Prince Street Pizza y Irv's Burgers.

En las fotos obtenidas por TMZ, Hunter lleva gafas oscuras y una gorra de béisbol.

En una imagen se puede ver a Hunter con su hijo Beau, llamado así por su difunto hermano, y los dos parecen muy unidos. En la otra foto, Hunter se prepara para comer una porción de pizza mientras el pequeño Beau está a su lado.

Nos dicen que la pareja se divirtió pasando el rato durante 30 minutos antes de separarse, con dos agentes del Servicio Secreto siguiéndolos. Melissa Cohen, la esposa de Hunter y madre de Beau, también disfrutó de la salida, tanto que al parecer se quedó para divertirse un poco más.

Al día siguiente Hunter fue acusado de 3 cargos penales federales relacionados con su compra en 2018 de un revólver en una armería de Delaware.

Hunter supuestamente mintió en un formulario federal, violando la ley al decir que no consumía drogas ilegales a pesar de ser adicto al crack.

Hunter Biden certainly didn't seem anxious before being indicted, because the day before he was chillin' with his 3-year-old boy Beau Jr., grabbing some grub in Malibu.

President Joe Biden's son was trying to keep a low profile as he attended Wednesday's grand opening celebration of Prince Street Pizza and Irv's Burgers in the Bu.

Check out the photos, obtained by TMZ, Hunter's wearing dark shades and a baseball cap pulled down low.

In one image, Hunter is carrying his kid, Beau, named after his late brother, and the two seem tight. In the other pic, Hunter's getting ready to scarf down a pizza slice as little Beau stands next to him.

We're told the pair had fun together, hanging out for 30 minutes before splitting, with two Secret Service agents shadowing them. Melissa Cohen, Hunter's wife and Beau's mom, also enjoyed the outing, so much so she reportedly stayed behind to have more fun.

The next day, Hunter was indicted on 3 federal criminal charges related to his 2018 purchase of a revolver from a Delaware gun shop.

Hunter allegedly lied on a federal form, violating the law by saying he wasn't using illegal drugs, despite being addicted to crack.

Tory Lanez is still hoping to stay out of prison pending his appeal in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting case ... even though his first crack at getting out on bond was shut down.

Ceasar McDowell, a member of Tory's legal team and the CEO of Unite the People, tells TMZ ... Tory called his lawyers Thursday, just minutes after a judge denied him bond, and assured them he remains hopeful for the future.

We’re told Tory talked with Ceasar on the phone, starting the conversation by saying he wasn't surprised the judge denied his request ... chalking it up to being "all in God's plan."

Ceasar says Tory is focused on next steps for his legal team ... including plans to file an emergency motion to try to reverse the judge's ruling. We're told Tory believes a higher court will be more receptive to him than the trial court judge who issued Thursday's ruling, which keeps Tory behind bars at the moment.

As we reported ... Tory's asking to be released on bond so he can live with his son as his appeal plays out in court. Tory says he wants to be able to take his young son to school now that class is back in session.

Remember ... Tory was sentenced to 10 years in prison after being found guilty in the Megan shooting case. As we first told you, he's been leaning on his faith, and his unwavering hope for the future appears to be a byproduct of that.

Danelo Cavalcante, the convicted murderer who escaped prison only to be captured after a two-week manhunt, is under constant watch behind bars to make sure he doesn't get out again.

Folks with the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections tell TMZ ... Danelo is being held in a specialized observation unit at SCI Phoenix for security reasons.

We're told Danelo gets all his meals served in his cell ... and he can only leave for medical services, or to see counselors. In other words, the prison is taking extra steps to make sure Danelo does not escape again.

As we reported ... Danelo kept himself alive and under the radar during his two weeks on the lam by eating watermelon, drinking water from creeks and concealing his poop to avoid detection.

Danelo was ultimately captured by Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) and SWAT teams in the same rural town where he broke into a home and stole a rifle after getting shot at by the person living there ... with a K-9 playing a key role in finding him.

The grub being served in prison sounds a lot better than fruit and creek water ... the menu at SCI Phoenix this week includes eggs and hot cakes for breakfast, sweet and sour chicken for lunch, and salisbury steak for dinner.

Tory Lanez permanecerá tras las rejas después de haber sido declarado culpable de disparar a Megan Thee Stallion, pues su solicitud para ser puesto en libertad bajo fianza en espera de su apelación acaba de ser denegada.

Para aquellos que no lo saben, Tory estaba pidiendo a un juez de Los Ángeles que le permitiera vivir con su hijo y su esposa en lugar de permanecer tras las rejas mientras se desarrolla su apelación.

Tory tuvo una audiencia el jueves sobre su solicitud, pero un juez le dijo que no, señalando que está condenado por un delito violento, tiene un historial de violación de las órdenes judiciales, y no es un ciudadano de EE.UU., como razones para decirle lo siento.

La defensa de Tory argumentó el último punto, diciendo que el rapero canadiense está en Estados Unidos legalmente con un visado de trabajo activo y no tiene ninguna razón para volver a Canadá. Pero al parecer eso no tuvo ninguna influencia en el juez.

Como ya informamos, Tory fue condenado el mes pasado a una década tras las rejas después de enfrentarse a más de 22 años.

El año pasado fue declarado culpable de tres cargos: disparo negligente de un arma de fuego, agresión con un arma de fuego semiautomática y portar un arma de fuego cargada y no registrada.

Tory habló después de su sentencia: continuó diciendo que es inocente y que fue "injustamente condenado".

El infame video de 2020, obtenido por TMZ, mostró a Megan cojeando cerca de su vehículo con un rastro de sangre detrás de ella.

Tory Lanez will remain behind bars after being found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion ... his request to be released on bond pending his appeal was just denied.

For those unaware, Tory was asking a judge in Los Angeles to let him live with his son and wife instead of staying behind bars while his appeal plays out.

Tory had a hearing Thursday about his request, but a judge said no dice -- noting Tory's convicted of a violent felony, has a history of violating court orders, and isn't a U.S. citizen as reasons for the thumbs down.

Tory's defense argued the last point, saying the Canadian rapper is in America legally on an active work visa and has no reason to go back to Canada ... but that didn't seem to sway the judge.

As we reported, Tory was given his sentence last month -- being handed a decade behind bars after facing over 22 years.

He was found guilty of 3 charges last year ... negligent discharge of a firearm, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm.

Tory spoke out after his sentencing ... continuing to claim he's innocent, saying he was "wrongfully convicted."

The infamous 2020 clip, obtained by TMZ, showed Megan limping near their vehicle with a trail of blood behind her.

A domestic violence victim advocacy group based in Houston is calling out the NBA, demanding the league institute tougher punishment when it comes to disciplining players like Rockets G Kevin Porter Jr. ... who was recently arrested for allegedly assaulting his GF.

"At what point do leagues say it has gone too far?" Houston Area Women's Center president and CEO Emilee Whitehurst told us, adding, "Surely it should have happened before now."

Whitehurst continued ... "We challenge the NBA and similar professional leagues to strengthen their domestic violence policy and to hold offenders accountable."

Of course, Porter Jr. -- a first-round pick in 2019 -- was arrested on Monday, and has been accused of hitting and strangulating his girlfriend, former WNBA player Kysre Gondrezick, during the violent incident in NYC.

Kysre reportedly suffered a gash above her eye during the incident.

The NBA released a statement shortly after the arrest, and say they're looking into the alleged incident. Porter Jr. is still currently on the Rockets team.

But, perhaps not for long. There are reports stating the organization is looking to trade KPJ.

Whether there will be any takers is the question ... as it's not the first time Porter Jr. has allegedly gotten himself into trouble -- something the domestic violence org noted.

"HAWC is calling for public outcry against athletic leagues paying and promoting people with violent reputations. Porter has a longstanding reputation of concerning conduct. He has been suspended, fined, and now arrested for felony assault and strangulation."

The Houston Area Women's Center then went on to call on fans to take action and stop supporting players who allegedly engage in domestic violence.

"We need an entire community to mobilize, to not just say this is wrong, but to act."
