Bill Cosby is facing yet another lawsuit over alleged sexual assault -- only this time, it's from a woman who years ago had an infamously awkward interview with Don Lemon about her claims.

The comedian is named in a new suit that was filed by Joan Tarshis -- who's an actress and former comedy writer -- and she outright accuses Cosby of rape ... this after claiming he drugged her on two different occasions back in the early '70s.

In her docs, obtained by TMZ, Tarshis says she first met Cosby at the age of 19 through a mutual friend ... and got invited to the studio where they filmed the 'Cosby Show' for a one-on-one writing session.

She claims while alone with Cosby in his private bungalow there on the lot, Cosby gave her a drink, which she accepted and consumed ... only to start feeling dizzy shortly thereafter. Tarshis says she quickly passed out, and woke up to Cosby undressing her.

Tarshis says she was disoriented while she tried fighting Cosby off, and claims he overpowered her ... forcing his penis into her mouth without consent.

About a year after this, Tarshis claims Cosby reached out to her again in NYC ... offering to take her to a music fair he was performing at -- which she says she reluctantly agreed to.

Tarshis alleges she was given another drink while traveling with Cosby to the venue and she says she again started to feel weak ... and eventually lost consciousness. Tarshis claims she woke up naked in bed next to Cosby ... and that she felt she'd been penetrated vaginally and anally.

Tarshis is alleging assault, battery, infliction of emotional distress and false imprisonment ... and seeking major damages. Cosby's rep had no comment.

It goes without saying ... this is far from his first allegation. He's been sued numerous times over by countless women -- and even went to trial in Pennsylvania a few years ago ... where he was found guilty of assaulting Andrea Costand, only to have his conviction later reversed.

50 Cent no está en peligro por tirar un micrófono hacia la multitud durante un show en Los Ángeles, o al menos, por ahora. El incidente ocurrido en agosto dejó a una espectadora con múltiples lesiones en la cabeza y en su cara.

La locutora de Power 106 Bryhana Monegain presentó un informe a la policía tras el incidente del 30 de agosto. Originalmente, la policía había presentado el caso a L.A. County D.A. como un delito grave, pero la Oficina del Fiscal más tarde lo pateó a la Oficina del Fiscal de la Ciudad de Los Ángeles.

Ahora, la oficina del Fiscal de la Ciudad le dice a TMZ que no se han presentado cargos criminales contra el rapero de 48 años y no se presentarán, siempre y cuando él mantenga su nariz limpia.

Nos dicen que el caso permanecerá abierto durante 1 año a partir de la fecha del incidente y podría ser reevaluado si hay más incidentes entre 50 y Bryhana.

Todo comenzó cuando 50 Cent actuó en el Crypto.com Arena de Los Ángeles. Un video lo mostraba muy enojado lanzando su micrófono a la multitud y golpeando a Bryhana en la frente tan fuerte que necesitó asistencia médica.

50 Cent is in the clear, for now, for chucking a microphone into the crowd during his L.A. show back in August ... an incident that left a spectator with multiple lacerations to her head and face.

Power 106 radio host Bryhana Monegain filed a police report following the incident on August 30 ... and cops originally presented the case to the L.A. County D.A. as a felony -- but the D.A.'s Office later kicked it to the L.A. City Attorney's office.

Now, the City Attorney's office tells TMZ no criminal charges have been filed against the 48-year-old rapper, and won't be filed as long as he keeps his nose clean.

We're told the case will remain open for 1 year from the date of the incident ... and it could be re-evaluated for possible criminal charges should there be any further incidents between 50 and Bryhana.

This all started when 50 Cent performed at L.A.'s Crypto.com Arena, and video showed him angrily throwing his mic into the crowd ... and it smashed Bryhana in the forehead so badly, she needed medical assistance.

11/21 -- 10:05 AM PT --  The class action lawsuit against Coach USA has been voluntarily withdrawn.

12:11 PM PT -- Colin Emberson, VP of Commercial for Coach USA tells TMZ ... "We have become aware of an incident that took place on Tuesday, November 14 wherein charter customers from another bus company were left stranded on their way to a rally in Washington, DC. Coach USA was not in any way involved in this incident. In fact, Coach USA successfully carried passengers on 74 charter buses from New Jersey and Maryland to the rally on Tuesday as planned."

A bus company is being taken to court after allegedly failing to deliver on its contract to transport protesters trying to get to the March for Israel rally after its drivers refused to drive them ... and the plaintiff is claiming it's owed damages for religious discrimination.

A guy named Doron Orbach is suing Coach USA in a class action lawsuit, alleging violations of several federal anti-discrimination laws -- including the Civil Rights Act -- that he claims Coach is liable in connection with his attempt to get folks to the D.C. protest in support of Israel.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Orbach -- who's Jewish and Israeli -- says the Israeli American Council had booked buses through Coach to transport upwards of 900 individuals that day to go from various pickup points across the East Coast ... and to pull up for the march in D.C.

But Orbach claims Coach never picked up these folks like they were scheduled to -- and he alleges it was all due to a coordinated effort on the part of its drivers/employees refusing to do the job based on their "discriminatory animus" towards Jewish people.

The lawsuit says that multiple Coach bus drivers staged a "sick out" that day as a way to avoid picking up these hundreds of people ... a majority of whom, Orbach says, were Jewish or of Israeli origin.

As a result of this alleged discrimination ... Orbach claims his civil and human rights were violated -- as were those of everyone else who missed the rally as a result. Orbach says Coach knew or should have known about the possibility of its drivers backing out and failed to take measures to prevent it ... and it suing for unspecified damages.

Una compañía de autobuses está siendo llevada a los tribunales por, supuestamente, no cumplir con su contrato de transportar a los manifestantes que trataban de llegar a una Marcha por Israel. Todo esto, después de que sus conductores se negaran a llevarlos, y el demandante está reclamando daños y perjuicios por discriminación religiosa.

Un tipo llamado Doron Orbach está demandando a Coach USA en una demanda colectiva, alegando violaciones de varias leyes federales contra la discriminación, incluyendo la Ley de Derechos Civiles. El sujeto afirma que Coach es responsable por no haber llevado a los adherentes a la protesta de D.C. en apoyo de Israel.

Según los documentos obtenidos por TMZ, Orbach, que es judío e israelí, dice que el Consejo Americano de Israel había reservado autobuses a través de Coach para el transporte de más de 900 personas ese día. Estaban previstos varios puntos de recogida en toda la Costa Este, que tenían como destino final la marcha en Washington DC.

Pero Orbach afirma que Coach nunca recogió a estas personas como estaba previsto, y alega que todo se debió a un esfuerzo coordinado por parte de sus conductores/empleados y su "animadversión discriminatoria" contra los judíos.

La demanda dice que varios conductores de la empresa organizaron un "despido por enfermedad" ese día para evitar recoger a estos cientos de personas, la mayoría de los cuales, dice Orbach, eran judíos o de origen israelí.

Como resultado de esta supuesta discriminación, Orbach afirma que se violaron sus derechos civiles y humanos, al igual que los de todos los demás que no acudieron a la manifestación. Orbach dice que Coach sabía o debería haber sabido sobre la posibilidad de que sus conductores se retractaran y no tomó medidas para evitarlo. Por ese motivo están demandando por daños y perjuicios no especificados.

8:59 AM PT -- 11/17 -- NYPD says the information its spokesperson provided -- about a "locked" Diddy investigation -- was incorrect.

The full NYPD statement reads ... "Yesterday, a member of the NYPD’s public information office erroneously told a reporter about the apparent existence of an active case file containing the name 'Sean Combs.' There is no such investigation, at present. Further, the release of such information is not consistent with the internal policies of the office of the Deputy Commissioner, Public Information. The NYPD always treats allegations of sexual assault and rape extremely seriously, and urges anyone who has been a victim to file a police report so that support and services can be offered to survivors and a comprehensive investigation can be conducted."

Diddy is the subject of a secret, NYPD investigation, and although it's unclear if his ex, Cassie Ventura, made the criminal complaint, there is strong evidence it involves sexual assault.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... there is an open case at NYPD with the name, "Sean Combs." We're told it is an active case but the case file has been "locked" -- essentially meaning it's a sensitive case where access is restricted.

As we reported, Cassie has filed an explosive federal lawsuit, which alleges rape and human trafficking, among other accusations.

We inquired about the case to NYPD, and they responded with this statement ... "The NYPD takes sexual assault and rape cases extremely seriously, and urges anyone who has been a victim to file a police report so we can perform a comprehensive investigation, and offer support and services to survivors."

It would seem based on the statement, not only is this a sexual assault case, but the NYPD is actively looking for other alleged victims.

We contacted other law enforcement in numerous jurisdictions Cassie mentions in her complaint -- including Miami, Beverly Hills and Los Angeles -- and at every juncture, we got the same reply ... no police report has been filed as it pertains to Cassie or Diddy, and no investigation has been launched.

We did find a 2016 case, where TMZ broke the story, BH cops were called after a breakup argument of some sort between Diddy and Cassie. A domestic incident report was taken, but no legal action followed.

As we reported, Cassie has claimed everything from rape, to assault/battery and even human trafficking -- this after alleging Diddy forced her to have sex with male prostitutes across state lines.

Because that could rise to a federal crime, we also checked with federal law enforcement sources -- including the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of NY, as well as the FBI -- and on both fronts ... zip.

Diddy's lawyer has come out strong, calling BS on Cassie's lawsuit. He told us most of her claims would be barred from criminal prosecution based on the statute of limitations. Her rape claim, however, could still be pursued here in Cali -- so time will tell if she files a criminal complaint there.

Diddy has vehemently denied all of Cassie's allegations ... and accused her of seeking to shake him down for big-time cash, to the tune of $30 million.

So as of now, we have found one case in NYC where it seems Diddy is in the crosshairs of police.

Aubrey O'Day is taking a victory lap over her thorny Diddy stance after Cassie accused him of multiple crimes ... something AOD backs 100%.

The former Danity Kane singer -- who used to be signed to Bad Boy and worked extensively with Diddy in the 2000s -- shouted out Cassie on social media after her bombshell lawsuit against her ex went public, writing ... "Been Trynna Tell Y'all For Years."

She also told Page Six she's in "complete support" of Cassie ... and that what Cassie describes in her complaint probably echoes some of what Aubrey herself has said about Diddy.

If you're unaware, Aubrey's been doing multiple interviews over the past year or so ... in which she made allegations of her own against Puff -- but not quite to the level Cassie did. AOD's concerns mostly stemmed from what she claimed were shady biz practices ... and unwanted sexual advances from Diddy that she claims she had to rebuff over the years.

Aubrey also recently slammed Diddy finally signing off on his former artists getting their publishing rights back ... claiming that he had them sign NDAs as part of the deal.

She says she was offered her own publishing rights back as well, but refused to sign the alleged NDA she says came attached to it -- something else Aubrey's feeling vindication over.

8:59 AM PT -- 11/17 -- La policía de Nueva York dice que la información proporcionada por su portavoz sobre una investigación "cerrada" de Diddy era incorrecta.

La declaración completa del organismo dice: "Ayer, un miembro de la oficina de información pública del Departamento de Policía de Nueva York informó erróneamente a un reportero sobre la aparente existencia de un expediente activo que contenía el nombre de "Sean Combs". En la actualidad no existe tal investigación. Además, la divulgación de dicha información no es coherente con las políticas internas de la oficina del Comisionado Adjunto de Información Pública. La policía de Nueva York siempre trata las acusaciones de agresión sexual y violación con extrema seriedad e insta a cualquier persona que haya sido víctima a que presente una denuncia policial para que se pueda ofrecer apoyo y servicios a los supervivientes y se pueda llevar a cabo una investigación exhaustiva".

Diddy es objeto de una investigación secreta de la policía de Nueva York, y aunque no está claro si su ex Cassie Ventura hizo la denuncia penal, hay una fuerte evidencia de que esta involucra agresión sexual.

Fuentes policiales le dicen a TMZ que hay un caso abierto en la policía de Nueva York con el nombre de "Sean Combs". Nos dicen que es un caso activo, pero el archivo ha sido "bloqueado", lo que significa que es un caso sensible y el acceso está restringido.

Como informamos, Cassie presentó una demanda federal explosiva, en la que alega violación y trata de personas, entre otras acusaciones.

Le preguntamos sobre el caso a la policía de Nueva York y respondieron con esta declaración: "El Departamento de Policía de Nueva York (NYPD) toma los casos de asalto sexual y violación extremadamente en serio, e insta a cualquier persona que haya sido víctima a presentar una denuncia policial para que podamos realizar una investigación exhaustiva y ofrecer apoyo y servicios a los sobrevivientes".

Basándonos en la declaración, parece que este no es solo un caso de agresión sexual, pues la policía está buscando activamente a otras presuntas víctimas.

Nos pusimos en contacto con otras jurisdicciones policiales que Cassie menciona en su denuncia, incluyendo Miami, Beverly Hills y Los Ángeles, y en cada una de ellas obtuvimos la misma respuesta. No se ha presentado ningún informe policial en lo que respecta a Cassie o Diddy y no se ha iniciado ninguna investigación.

Encontramos un caso de 2016, que TMZ publicó en su momento. La policía de Beverly Hills fue contactada después de una discusión entre Diddy y Cassie, presuntamente a causa de una ruptura. Se realizó un informe del incidente doméstico, pero no se siguió ninguna acción legal.

Como ya informamos, Cassie ha denunciado todo tipo de delitos, desde violación a agresión y hasta tráfico de personas, después de alegar que Diddy la obligó a mantener relaciones sexuales con prostitutos a través de las fronteras estatales.

Debido a que se eleva a un delito federal, también hemos comprobado con fuentes policiales de esa índole, incluyendo la Oficina del Fiscal de Estados Unidos en el Distrito Sur de Nueva York, así como con el FBI, y en ambos frentes nada.

El abogado de Diddy ha sido contundente en llamar "basura" la demanda de Cassie. Nos dijo que la mayoría de sus reclamos serían excluidos de la persecución penal sobre la base de la ley de prescripción. Su demanda por violación, sin embargo, todavía podría ser perseguida aquí en California, así que el tiempo dirá si ella presenta una denuncia penal allí.

Carnival Cruise Line slapped a Texas mom with a lifetime ban from their fleet for taking a pack of CBD sleep aid gummies onboard ... and the reasoning is wacky.

Melinda Van Veldhuizen, a 42-year-old mom of two, claimed cruise employees and the police treated her like a crook after finding the gummies when searching her backpack at PortMiami over the summer.

She told Miami's ABC News affiliate WPLG that she was immediately taken aside after a staffer found the gummies in her bag ... and was interrogated by Carnival security and the police for 2.5 hours before getting blocked from getting on the ship.

The sale and use of hemp-derived CBD products is legal in 47 of 50 States. Florida is one of the states with restrictions ... where any product that contains more than 0.3% THC requires a medical marijuana card.

This lady and her fam planned the trip back in August to celebrate her 21st wedding anniversary and her son's senior year of high school ... and her attorney, Daren Stabinski, told WaPo the family had splashed out roughly $5,586 on their planned vacation.

What's more, after she was banned from going on the cruise, she received a letter from Carnival informing her that she was banned from all Carnival ships for life -- with Captain Rocco Lubrano writing she would "not be permitted to sail onboard any Carnival Cruise Lines vessel in the future."

El crucero Carnival le dio una bofetada a una madre de Texas tras prohibirle el acceso a su flota por llevar a bordo un paquete de gomitas que ayudan a conciliar el sueño, y el razonamiento es descabellado.

Melinda Van Veldhuizen, de 42 años y madre de dos hijos, afirmó que los empleados del crucero y la policía la trataron como a una delincuente después de encontrar las gomitas en su mochila en PortMiami durante el verano.

Ella le dijo a WPLG, afiliada de ABC News en Miami, que fue llevada inmediatamente a un lado después de que un empleado encontrara las gomitas en su bolsa y que fue interrogada por la seguridad del crucero y la policía por dos horas y media antes de que le prohibieran finalmente subir al barco.

La venta y el uso de productos CBD derivados del cáñamo es legal en 47 de los 50 Estados. Florida es uno de los estados con restricciones, donde cualquier producto que contenga más de un 0,3% de THC requiere una tarjeta de marihuana medicinal.

Esta señora y su familia habían planeado el viaje en agosto para celebrar el 21 aniversario de boda y el último año de su hijo en la secundaria, y su abogado Daren Stabinski dijo a WaPo que la familia había perdido aproximadamente $5,586 por sus fallidas vacaciones.

Más aún, después de que se le prohibiera ir en el crucero, recibió una carta de Carnival informándole de que estaba denegada en todos los buques de Carnival de por vida, con el capitán Rocco Lubrano escribiendo que "no se le permitirá navegar a bordo de cualquier buque de Carnival Cruise Lines en el futuro".

Los cargos de la estrella de "Hannah Montana" Mitchel Musso, de embriaguez pública y robo, han sido desestimados, esto viene un par de meses después de ser arrestado. TMZ ha indagado.

Un representante de la ciudad de Rockwall le dice a TMZ que el caso de Mitchel fue desestimado, aunque no se dio ninguna razón. Nos dice cualquier cuerpo de video de la cámara y más información no se proporcionará porque el caso no dio lugar a una condena o adjudicación diferida.

TMZ publicó la historia, Mitchel fue esposado en agosto después de que la policía de Rockwall respondiera a una llamada en un hotel donde la gente estaba reclamando  que el actor estaba actuando de manera beligerante y había robado algo del mercado de alimentos.

Nos dijeron que el personal del hotel le exigió que pagara por el producto, pero supuestamente se puso verbalmente abusivo ... y cuando los policías lo encontraron fuera del hotel, determinaron que estaba bajo la influencia.

Además, los oficiales dijeron que encontraron órdenes de tráfico pendientes a su nombre y, finalmente, decidieron arrestarlo.

Fue fichado por algunos cargos diferentes ... intoxicación pública, robo (menos de $ 100), registro vencido, no mostrar una licencia de conducir, y la violación de una promesa de comparecer aviso ... pero ahora se nos dice todo el caso fue retirado.

"Hannah Montana" star Mitchel Musso's public drunkenness and theft case has been dropped ... TMZ has learned -- a reversal of fortune that comes just a couple of months after his arrest.

A rep for the city of Rockwall, TX tells TMZ ... Mitchel's case was dismissed, although no reason was given -- we're just told any body cam footage, and further info won't be released because the case did not result in a conviction or deferred adjudication.

TMZ broke the story, Mitchel was cuffed back in August after Rockwall PD responded to a call at a hotel where people were claiming the actor was acting belligerently and had stolen something from the food market.

We were told hotel staff demanded he pay for the product, but he allegedly became verbally abusive ... and when cops found him outside the hotel, they determined he was under the influence.

In addition, officers said they found outstanding traffic warrants in his name and ultimately decided to arrest him.

He was booked on a few different charges ... public intoxication, theft (under $100), expired registration, failure to display a driver's license, and violating a promise to appear notice ... but now we're told the whole case was dropped.

Diddy está siendo acusado de violación y una plétora de otros delitos por su exnovia, Cassie, en una explosiva demanda que detalla perturbadoras afirmaciones que, según ella, se prolongaron durante años.

La cantante nombró a la cabeza de Bad Boy en una demanda federal que presentó el jueves afuera de Nueva York. En ella, hace una serie de acusaciones contra Diddy, incluyendo afirmaciones de trata de personas y una impactante declaración de que este irrumpió en su casa en 2018 y la forzó a tener relaciones sexuales con ella.

La supuesta violación se habría producido hacia el final de su relación en 2018, cuando ella ya había decidido dejar a Diddy para siempre. En su demanda, dice que fueron a comer y ella pensó que podría ser una buena oportunidad para discutir sobre cómo seguir adelante.

Después dice que fueron a su casa, pero que Diddy la obligó a entrar a su departamento, a pesar de sus protestas. Cassie afirma que luego la besó a la fuerza y empezó a quitarle la ropa, instante en que alega que la violó mientras le decía "no".

A raíz de este presunto incidente, dice que trató de separarse por completo de Diddy, alejarse y cortar todos los lazos con Bad Boy, mientras estaba bajo mucho estrés.

Si bien esta afirmación es, sin duda, la más impactante es solo la punta del iceberg de su demanda. Esta incluye años de abusos físicos y emocionales a manos de Diddy, como golpes y pisotones que ella alega le infligía con regularidad en el transcurso de su relación, que Cassie dice que comenzó en 2005.

Mientras estuvieron juntos, Cassie dice que Diddy le suministraba regularmente drogas y alcohol, la obligaba a llevar armas de fuego en el bolso cuando salía en público. Lo que es peor, alega que la obligó a mantener relaciones sexuales con varios prostitutos a lo largo de los años, en múltiples jurisdicciones diferentes.

Cassie afirma que Diddy grababa estas relaciones coordinadas con ella y las prostitutas (que, según ella, habrían sido contratadas por Diddy) y se daba placer a sí mismo mientras las observaba.

Otra asombrosa afirmación es que Diddy una vez dijo que iba a volar el carro de Kid Cudi mientras estaba en casa. Esto, después de que se enterara de una breve relación que este tuvo con Cassie alrededor de 2011, y pasa a afirmar que en 2012 el carro de Kid Cudi, de hecho, explotó en su entrada. Ella no dice explícitamente que Diddy lo orquestó, pero sí que el hecho de que haya ocurrido, la hizo temer por su seguridad.

No hace falta decir que estas acusaciones son absolutamente asombrosas, pero Cassie insiste en que ocurrieron: "Después de años de silencio y oscuridad, por fin estoy preparada para contar mi historia y hablar en mi nombre y en el de otras mujeres que sufren violencia y abusos en sus relaciones". Cassie dice que sufrió mucho por todo lo que soportó de Diddy y que todavía está lidiando con las repercusiones de ello.

Diddy, por su parte, ha salido con una defensa acérrima, llamando las afirmaciones de Cassie como un chantaje financiero directamente, a través de su abogado: "El Sr. Combs niega vehementemente estas ofensivas y escandalosas acusaciones. Durante los últimos seis meses, el Sr. Combs ha estado sometido a la persistente demanda de la Sra. Ventura de 30 millones de dólares, bajo la amenaza de escribir un libro perjudicial sobre su relación, que fue rechazada inequívocamente como un chantaje flagrante. A pesar de retirar su amenaza inicial, la Sra. Ventura ha recurrido ahora a presentar una demanda plagada de mentiras infundadas y escandalosas, con el objetivo de manchar la reputación del Sr. Combs y buscar un pago".

Diddy has been accused of rape and a plethora of other crimes by his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, in a bombshell lawsuit that details the disturbing claims.

The singer named the Bad Boy honcho in a federal suit she filed Thursday in New York -- in which she makes a number of allegations against Diddy ... including claims of human trafficking -- and a shocking claim that he broke into her home in 2018 and forced sex on her.

The alleged rape, Cassie says, came toward the end of their relationship in 2018 ... when she'd decided to leave Diddy for good. In her suit, she says they went to dinner one night that year, which Cassie thought would be a discussion on how they could each move on.

Afterward, she says they went to her place ... but claims Diddy forced himself into her apartment, despite Cassie's protests. Cassie claims Diddy then forcibly kissed her and began ripping off her clothes ... at which point she alleges he raped her, all while she said "no."

In the aftermath of this alleged incident, Cassie says she tried separating herself completely from Diddy ... moving away, and cutting all ties with Bad Boy -- while under a lot of stress.

While this claim is, for sure, the most shocking ... it's just the tip of the iceberg of what else is alleged in her lawsuit -- including years of what Cassie claims were physical and emotional abuse at the hands of Diddy, such as beatings and stompings she alleges he dished out regularly over the course of their long relationship -- which Cassie says started in '05.

Through their time together, Cassie claims Diddy would regularly ply her with drugs and alcohol, make her carry firearms around in her purse while out in public ... and worse yet, she alleges he forced her to have sex with several different male prostitutes over the years, across multiple different jurisdictions.

Cassie claims Diddy would film these coordinated liaisons with her and the prostitutes (whom she claims were hired by Diddy) ... and pleasure himself while watching the intercourse.

One other stunner of a claim here ... Cassie alleges that Diddy once said he was going to blow up Kid Cudi's car while he was home -- this after learning of a brief relationship he and Cassie shared around 2011 or so -- and goes on to claim that in 2012 ... Kid Cudi's car did, in fact, blow up in his driveway. She doesn't say, explicitly, that Diddy orchestrated it ... but she does say that the fact it happened like he threatened terrified her and made her fear for her safety.

It goes without saying ... these accusations are absolutely jaw-dropping, but Cassie is insistent they happened -- saying, "After years in silence and darkness, I am finally ready to tell my story, and to speak up on behalf of myself and for the benefit of other women who face violence and abuse in their relationships." Cassie claims to have suffered greatly from what she allegedly endured with Diddy ... and says she still deals with repercussions today.

Diddy, meanwhile, has come out with a staunch defense ... calling Cassie's claims a straight-up financial shakedown through his attorney, "Mr. Combs vehemently denies these offensive and outrageous allegations. For the past 6 months, Mr. Combs, has been subjected to Ms. Ventura's persistent demand of $30 million, under the threat of writing a damaging book about their relationship, which was unequivocally rejected as blatant blackmail. Despite withdrawing her initial threat, Ms. Ventura has now resorted to filing a lawsuit riddled with baseless and outrageous lies, aiming to tarnish Mr. Combs' reputation and seeking a pay day."

Keke Palmer is getting far away from the drama back home with her allegedly abusive baby daddy ... taking their young son with her on a trip to France, and glowing in some drizzle.

The actress popped up in Paris with her nearly 9-month-old, Leo, Thursday ... taking in the sights and doing the whole tourist thing -- and we gotta say, she looks super happy holding her little one ... especially considering everything she's going through back in the States.

Keke and her kiddo didn't let a rainy day ruin their trip whatsoever ... venturing out to the Eiffel Tower and the Quai Branly Museum ... with an assistant holding an umbrella for her as she held her child in her arms.

The helpers certainly came in handy -- they seemed to be able to keep Keke and young Leo nice and dry ... and Mama Bear definitely appreciated it, if her smile is any indication.

Like we said ... the European getaway comes in the middle of some big drama between Keke, her ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson and their families.

As we've reported ... Keke recently accused Darius of abusing her on and off for well over a year, including an alleged incident she says happened earlier this month, and she's shared images appearing to show the alleged abuse.

One image appears to show Darius with his hands on Keke while she's on a couch -- and another still seems to show them getting physical on the stairs.

For his part, Darius is denying the claims ... and he's accusing Keke's mom of threatening to put a bullet in his head. We've heard from sources that Keke's mother only said that because she was in fear for her daughter's safety.

In other words, there's a lot waiting for Keke back home ... including an upcoming court hearing on her temporary restraining order ... but it all seems out of sight and out of mind while she's in Paris.

Keke Palmer se está alejando del drama de su ex supuestamente abusivo, llevando a su hijo pequeño con ella en un viaje a Francia y brillando en un poco de llovizna.

La actriz apareció en París con su hijo Leo, de casi nueve meses el jueves. Visitó los lugares de interés y realizó todas las actividades turísticas y tenemos que decir que se ve muy feliz con su pequeño en brazos, especialmente teniendo en cuenta todo lo que está pasando de vuelta en los Estados Unidos.

Keke y su pequeño no dejan que un día lluvioso arruine su viaje en absoluto. Se aventuraron a la Torre Eiffel y el Museo Quai Branly con un asistente de la celebración de un paraguas para ella mientras sostenía a su hijo en brazos.

Los ayudantes sin duda fueron muy útiles al momento de mantener a Keke y Leo protegidos y secos.

Como hemos dicho, la escapada europea se produce en medio de un gran drama entre Keke, su ex novio Darius Jackson y sus familias.

Como hemos informado, Keke recientemente acusó a Darius de abusar de ella durante más de un año, incluyendo un supuesto incidente que supuestamente ocurrió a principios de este mes. Ella ha compartido imágenes que parecen mostrar el supuesto abuso.

Una imagen parece mostrar a Darius con las manos sobre Keke mientras ella está en un sofá y otra parece mostrarlos una agresión en las escaleras.

Por su parte, Darius está negando las afirmaciones y está acusando a la madre de Keke de amenazarlo con poner una bala en su cabeza. Hemos oído de fuentes directas que la madre de Keke solo dijo que porque tenía miedo por la seguridad de su hija.

En otras palabras, hay mucho esperando a Keke de vuelta a casa, incluyendo una audiencia en la corte sobre su orden de restricción temporal, pero todo parece estar fuera de la vista y fuera de la mente mientras está en París.
