El caso de divorcio de Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner estuvo en el centro en un tribunal de Miami este miércoles, y el abogado de Joe dejó claro que habrá una pelea de perros sobre quién llevará el caso, si un juez estadounidense o un juez del Reino Unido.

Lo que está en juego es extremadamente importante. Si un juez estadounidense lleva el caso, Joe puede tener la gran ventaja de jugar de local. Si un juez del Reino Unido finalmente lo obtiene, sería todo lo contrario.

El abogado de Joe, Thomas Sasser, lo dejó claro. De acuerdo a los intercambios que ha tenido con el abogado de Sophie, ella dice que ahora su familia es una familia del Reino Unido, por lo que el divorcio debería ser manejado allí.

El abogado de Sophie no respondió directamente, pero nuestras fuentes dicen que eso es exactamente lo que está sucediendo.

Si un juez del Reino Unido maneja el divorcio es probable que la residencia principal de los 2 niños esté allá y Joe no está de acuerdo con eso.

Como informamos, Sophie acudió a un tribunal federal la semana pasada, alegando que Joe violó una ley internacional de secuestro infantil al negarse a entregarle los pasaportes de sus hijas para que ella pudiera llevarlas de vuelta a Inglaterra. El juez dictaminó que, por el momento, las niñas deben permanecer en el área de Nueva York.

El juez de Miami dijo en la corte el miércoles que acatará la decisión del juez federal. Él se hará cargo del caso si el juez federal define que Estados Unidos es el lugar apropiado, y si decide lo contrario, un juez del Reino Unido tomará las riendas.

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's divorce case was front and center in a Miami courtroom Wednesday, and Joe's lawyer made it clear ... there's gonna be a dogfight over who hears the case -- an American judge or a UK judge.

The stakes are extremely high ... if an American judge hears the case it gives Joe a huge home-court advantage, and the reverse is true if the UK judge gets the case.

Joe's lawyer, Thomas Sasser, made it clear ... based on his exchanges with Sophie's counsel, she says their family had become UK-based so the divorce should be handled there.

Sophie's lawyer did not directly respond, but our sources say that is exactly what's happening in the case.

If a UK judge handles the divorce, it's likely the primary residence of the 2 kids will be there, and Joe is not down with that.

As we reported, Sophie went to federal court last week, claiming Joe violated an international child abduction law by refusing to hand over the passports of their kids so she could take them back to England. That judge ruled, for the time being, the kids must stay in the New York area.

The Miami judge said in court Wednesday, he will abide by the federal judge's ruling. He will get the case if the federal judge says the U.S. is the appropriate venue, and if the judge decides otherwise a UK judge will take the reins.

Una empleada de Jack-in-the-Box se puso tensa al tratar con un cliente enojado en el drive-thru. ¡El asunto terminó con ella abriendo fuego!

Este intenso video acaba de salir a la luz como parte de una demanda en curso que un hombre llamado Anthony Ramos presentó contra la cadena de comida rápida. El incidente ocurrió en 2021 y Ramos cuenta que el video muestra a una trabajadora de la cadena de comida abrir fuego después de que ella y Ramos tuvieran una discusión sobre las papas fritas.

Básicamente Ramos dice que él y su familia —incluyendo a su esposa embarazada y su hija pequeña— pasó por un Jack-in-the-Box de Houston en marzo de 2021 y pidió una comida combinada para llevar pero cuando le dijo a los empleados que le faltaban algunas cosas comenzaron los problemas.

La discusión llegó a ser tan intensa que Ramos aparentemente empezó a tirar parte de la comida al personal del autoservicio lo que llevó a la empleada Alonniea Fantasia Ford a volver a los recovecos del restaurante sólo para volver con una pistola en la mano.

Las imágenes de vigilancia obtenidas por Ramos y su equipo legal muestran a Ford disparando al menos un par de veces. Luego Ramos huye en su carro.

Por suerte nadie resultó herido, pero Ramos y compañía ahora van tras Jack-in-the-Box alegando que fueron negligentes al contratar a Ford.

Kroy Biermann dice que no tiene ningún deseo de cancelar su divorcio de Kim Zolciak a pesar de haber tenido relaciones hace un par de semanas. Afirma que haber pasado la noche no significa que haya cambiado de opinión.

El jugador retirado de la NFL acaba de enviarle un mensaje a su esposa, dejándole claro que todavía está tratando de divorciarse de ella, además de vender su mansión en Georgia y mudarse a otro lugar con sus hijos.

En los nuevos documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, Kroy dice que el hecho de que tuvo relaciones sexuales con Kim "no indica un deseo de reconciliarse" y que "sigue firme en su deseo de divorciarse" de ella.

TMZ publicó la historia; Kim afirma que la última petición de divorcio de Kroy es todo una farsa porque están viviendo juntos y teniendo un montón de sexo. Ella está tratando de conseguir un juez para terminar con todo el asunto.

Kroy dice que la gente no debe pensar que el hecho de que tuvieron relaciones sexuales a principios de este mes vaya a significar algo.

En los documentos, Kroy dice que su casa está lista para ser entregada en noviembre y acusa a Kim de tratar de alargar las cosas para evitar la venta del lugar (todo para pagar su gigantesca deuda).

One Jack-in-the-Box employee got wound up a little too tight when dealing with an angry drive-thru customer -- whipping out her gun ... and firing as the customer fled.

This INSANE footage just surfaced as part of an ongoing lawsuit that a man named Anthony Ramos filed against the fast food chain -- all over a 2021 incident that Ramos says was caught on video showing a JITB worker firing bullets after she and Ramos got into it over curly fries.

Essentially ... Ramos says he and his family -- including his pregnant wife and young daughter -- swung by a Houston-area Jack-in-the-Box in March '21 and ordered a combo meal to go, but when he told the employees he was missing items, things escalated.

The back-and-forth arguing got so intense that Ramos apparently started to chuck some of the food back at the JITB drive-thru crew -- which spurred employee Alonniea Fantasia Ford to head back into the recesses of the restaurant ... only to return with a pistol in hand.

The surveillance footage Ramos and his legal team obtained in discovery seems to show Ford shooting at least a couple times at Ramos/his car -- which speeds away.

Luckily, it doesn't sound like anyone was hurt -- but Ramos and co. are now going after the Jack-in-the-Box ... alleging they were negligent in hiring Ford.

Kroy Biermann says he has no desire to call off his divorce from Kim Zolciak despite having sex a couple weeks ago ... claiming banging her doesn't mean he's changed his mind.

The retired NFL player just fired back at his estranged wife ... making it clear he is still gung-ho about divorcing her, selling their Georgia mansion and moving somewhere else with their kids.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Kroy says the fact he had sex with Kim "does not indicate a desire to reconcile" and he "remains steadfast in his desire to divorce" her.

TMZ broke the story ... Kim claims Kroy's latest divorce petition is all a sham because they're living together and having a ton of sex, and she's trying to get a judge to toss the whole thing.

But Kroy says folks shouldn't put a whole lot of stock into the fact they had sex earlier this month ... he says it doesn't change his position.

In the docs, Kroy says their home is set to be foreclosed on in November and he accuses Kim of trying to drag things out to stop him from selling their place to pay off their mountain of debt.

Kroy sounds like he has some post-nut clarity ... he claims their current situation is toxic for their kids and he wants to push forward with the divorce, claiming Kim's called the cops to the home 4 times in 4 months, with the latest incident being witnessed by their youngest daughter.

Kim Zolciak is firing back at Kroy Biermann, claiming his latest divorce petition is a sham and wants to get it tossed --- because they're still having a lot of sex!!!

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ ... the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' alum says she's been repeatedly banging her estranged hubby ever since he filed for divorce from her -- for the second time -- in late August. Kim says their latest fooling around session was just a few weeks ago on September 7.

Kim says Kroy's claim the marriage is "irretrievably broken" is bogus, because how can it be broken if they're still doin' the deed?

She also says the fact they are still living under the same roof is further proof the whole "irretrievably broken" thing is just plain wrong.

Kroy has filed for divorce twice, most recently on August 24. He has said Kim's gambling problems have led them down the path to financial ruin, and he wants out.

Alabama State's Jacob Freeman punched a security guard in the face during Saturday's Florida A&M game, an attack that was caught on video ... and now the wide receiver has been arrested.

The altercation started when Freeman, number 16, lost his cool with a fan on the sidelines ... and seemingly attempted to get to the person. Security attempted to step in and stop JF, which evidently angered the Alabama State player.

That's when Freeman, helmet still on, threw a quick right, landing square on the guard's face, who immediately clutched the area that had been punched.

On Sunday, Freeman was arrested by the FAMU Police Department, according to the Leon County Sheriff's Office. Freeman was charged with one count of "battery causing bodily harm".

Freeman took a mug shot and was eventually released from jail.

However, he won't be seeing a football field anytime soon ... Bama St. suspended him for his behavior.

"We do not condone the actions of the student-athlete, nor are the actions representative of the expectations set forth by the athletic department and our university," the athletics department said in a statement.

Hornets head coach Eddie Robinson Jr., during a SWAC coaches media call, said Freeman is remorseful, "but at the same time, he has to go through the process of his actions."

Kim Zolciak le está respondiendo a Kroy Biermann, alegando que su última demanda de divorcio es una farsa y quiere que sea desestimada, ¡¡¡porque todavía están teniendo mucho sexo!!!

De acuerdo a documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ, la ex estrella de "Real Housewives of Atlanta" dice que ha tenido repetidos encuentros con su marido separado desde que él pidió el divorcio (por segunda vez) a finales de agosto. Kim dice que su última encuentro "privado" fue hace apenas unas semanas, el 7 de septiembre.

Kim dice que la afirmación de Kroy de que el matrimonio está "irremediablemente roto" es falsa, porque ¿cómo puede estar roto si todavía están haciendo el acto?

Ella también dice que el hecho de que todavía están viviendo bajo el mismo techo es una prueba más de que todo lo de "irremediablemente roto" es simplemente falso.

Kroy Bierman ha solicitado el divorcio en dos ocasiones, siendo la última el 24 de agosto. Él ha dicho que los problemas de juego de Kim los han llevado a la ruina financiera y quiere ponerle fin a todo.

Tory Lanez cleared up much of the speculation behind his recent inmate transfer, and just like we reported, he’s making the most of the situation!!!

Fans and haters alike were surprised Monday when Tory’s official social media accounts posted a pretty upbeat voice memo from jail where he sounded like he's free as a bird ... even though that's clearly not the case.

As we previously reported, Tory’s celebrity status has him holed up solo inside the Administrative Segregation at North Kern State Prison in Delano, CA … and the “Color Violent” rapper says he’s loving the extra legroom.

Tory’s new facility isn’t without its issues -- several people have been killed within the prison this year alone -- but Tory says it’s better than the L.A. county jail where they had him on 24-hour lockdown and in his words, they were “hating” on a G.

Tory thanked his supporters for holding him down and expressed how the situation made him fearless.

He's gonna need that confidence ... Tory's just starting a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion.

Nate Diaz is no longer facing any time behind bars for his role in an altercation on Bourbon Street earlier this year ... prosecutors have just dropped the criminal case against the former UFC star.

A spokesperson for the Orleans Parish District Attorney's office confirmed to TMZ Sports on Monday afternoon that Diaz's second-degree battery charge has been dismissed. No further details surrounding the case's disposition, however, were given.

Diaz's rep, Zach Rosenfield, said in a statement that he was pleased with the decision ... reiterating yet again that he believes when Diaz choked out Rodney Petersen in the middle of the famed New Orleans street back in April, he was doing nothing more than defending himself.

"Since Rodney Peterson sought out to fight Nate on Bourbon Street, we have maintained Nate's actions were 100 percent in self-defense," Rosenfield stated.

"It was clear on the video, clear in pictures and clear from the multiple other videos Rodney posted before and after."

"Nate has a right to defend himself against those who want to make a name for themselves and did so," Rosenfield added.

"We appreciate the Orleans Parish District Attorney taking the time to review all aspects of this case and their decision to not proceed with it."

Diaz never seemed to be too bothered by the criminal case ... he actually joked about it all with Jake Paul in May -- laughing with the YouTuber/boxer at their pre-fight press conference.

Russell Brand is under criminal investigation in the UK -- this after cops say a handful of women came forward to publicly claim he sexually abused them years ago.

The comedian-actor was not named by London's Metropolitan Police in their statement Monday -- but there was no ambiguity that he was at the center of this new probe. They wrote, "Following an investigation by Channel 4's Dispatches and The Sunday Times, the Met has received a number of allegations of sexual offences in London."

The cops add ... "We have also received a number of allegations of sexual offences committed elsewhere in the country and will investigate these."

Unclear what exactly the police are digging into, but, presumably, it might relate to the allegations mentioned in the joint report published a couple weeks ago -- which included claims from 4 different women ... a few of whom alleged RB had raped them.

Prior to Monday's announcement ... Metropolitan Police had said they received a report of a sexual assault that allegedly took place in Soho, London back in '03 -- and many believed that, too, was linked to Brand. Worth noting, Brand has yet to be arrested for anything at this point.

For his part, Brand has repeatedly and vehemently denied of all the claims against him thus far -- and it's too early to tell whether any of these investigations will result in charges.

Russell Brand está siendo investigado en el Reino Unido luego de que varias mujeres afirmaran públicamente que había abusado sexualmente de ellas hace años.

La Policía Metropolitana de Londres no mencionó el nombre del actor cómico en su declaración del lunes, pero no había ninguna ambigüedad en cuanto a que se encontraba en el centro de esta nueva investigación. Escribieron: "Tras una investigación de Dispatches de Channel 4 y The Sunday Times, la Met ha recibido una serie de acusaciones de delitos sexuales en Londres."

Los policías añaden: "También hemos recibido una serie de denuncias de delitos sexuales cometidos en otros lugares del país y los investigaremos".

No está claro qué es exactamente lo que la policía está investigando, pero suponemos que podría estar relacionado con las acusaciones mencionadas en el informe publicado hace un par de semanas. El informe incluía reclamaciones de 4 mujeres diferentes, algunas de las cuales alegaron que Russell las había violado.

Antes del anuncio del lunes, La Policía Metropolitana había dicho que recibieron un informe de asalto sexual que supuestamente tuvo lugar en el Soho de Londres en 2003 y muchos creían que también estaba vinculado a Brand. Vale la pena señalar que Brand aún no ha sido arrestado por nada en este momento.

Por su parte, Brand ha negado repetida y vehementemente todas las acusaciones en su contra hasta el momento y es demasiado pronto para saber si alguna de estas investigaciones dará lugar a cargos.

Israel Adesanya just issued an apology to his family and beloved fans after pleading guilty to drunk driving ... saying he was wrong to get behind the wheel.

The incident happened on August 19th ... after the 24-3 UFC star had dinner and a few drinks with friends in Auckland, New Zealand.

While driving home, the 34-year-old came across a random breath testing unit ... and allegedly had a reading of 87 milligrams of alcohol per 100 milliliters, which exceeds New Zealand's legal limit of 50 milligrams.

"I want to apologize to the community, my family and my team for the decision I made to get behind the wheel after drinking at a dinner," Adesanya said in a statement.

"I am disappointed with my decision to drive, It was wrong."

Style Bender continued ... "I know that people might follow me and I want them to know I do not think this behavior is acceptable."

Adesanya pleaded guilty in court on Monday ... and is facing a max penalty of three months in jail or a $2,600 fine.

This arrest happened three weeks before Adesanya lost to Sean Strickland at UFC 293 in Sydney, Australia ... which cost him his middleweight title.

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner have agreed they will NOT take their kids outside the greater New York City area for now ... this, just days after Sophie filed legal docs saying her intention was taking the kids to the UK for good.

Both Joe and Sophie agreed to a temporary consent agreement and filed it with a federal judge. Daily Mail first reported the filing.

As we reported, Joe and Sophie are locked in a legal battle over custody. Sophie went to federal court last week, citing a child abduction law and claiming Joe refused to turn over the passports of their 2 kids. She claimed they had an agreement the kids would live in the UK.

Joe countered, saying a judge in Florida -- where he filed the divorce -- said the kids could not be removed from the U.S., thus setting up a legal battle.

Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner han acordado que NO llevaran a sus hijas fuera de la ciudad de Nueva York por ahora. Esto, sólo unos días después de que Sophie presentara documentos legales diciendo que su intención era llevar a las niñas al Reino Unido para siempre.

Tanto Joe como Sophie acordaron un acuerdo de consentimiento temporal y lo presentaron ante un juez federal.

Como informamos, Joe y Sophie están enzarzados en una batalla legal por la custodia. Sophie fue a la corte federal la semana pasada, citando una ley de secuestro infantil y alegando Joe se negó a entregar los pasaportes de sus 2 hijas. Ella alegó que tenían un acuerdo para que las niñas vivieran en el Reino Unido.

Joe contraatacó diciendo que un tribunal de Florida dijo que los niños no podían ser retirados de los EE.UU. estableciendo así una batalla legal.
