Legal

4:40 PM PT -- According to online records, the Clenneys are facing unspecified felony charges from out of state -- but we're still working to confirm exactly what they've been dinged for.

The parents of Courtney Clenney -- the OnlyFans model who has been charged with murdering her boyfriend -- have been arrested themselves ... TMZ has learned.

Kim and Deborah Clenney were arrested at their Austin, TX home Tuesday in connection with the murder case ... and we're told it has something to do with potential evidentiary tampering.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... the Clenneys were taken into custody by law enforcement in Travis County on a warrant out of Miami.

The allegation, from what we understand, boils down to a laptop that belonged to Courtney's late boyfriend, Christian Obumseli, which our sources say remained in their Miami apartment after he was killed in an argument in 2022.

We're told Courtney's dad, Kim, went back to their unit to clear out her stuff in the aftermath ... and in the process, stumbled across this laptop -- which we're told had not been impounded as evidence when police first went through after the incident.

Our sources say Courtney gave her father the password, and he got in ... but found nothing but a crypto exchange on the hard drive. After that, we're told he notified Courtney's defense attorney about it ... and handed it off to the legal team.

At this point, our sources say they're still in custody ... and the exact charges are a bit unclear -- but we're told they have a bond hearing in court Wednesday.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Originally Published -- 4:08 PM PT

El video de un hombre esposado en ropa interior luego de que la policía descubriera tres cuerpos en su patio trasero acaba de hacerse público, y es solo el último desarrollo de este salvaje caso en Missouri.

Probablemente han oído hablar de esta historia, todo tiene que ver con un hombre llamado Jordan Willis de Kansas City, que fue anfitrión de una fiesta de los Chiefs con algunos amigos en su casa a principios de enero, y que terminó con 3 de ellos muertos en su propiedad días más tarde.

La historia es absolutamente descabellada y todavía encierra muchos misterios. Esto es lo que la policía sabe con certeza: en algún momento después de la fiesta del 7 de enero, las familias de 3 de los asistentes a la reunión (David Harrington, Ricky Johnson y Clayton McGeeney) denunciaron su desaparición, ya que nadie había visto ni oído hablar de ellos después de esa noche.

La gente trató de contactar al propio Willis, pero este también estuvo fuera del radar durante un par de días hasta que los oficiales llegaron a su casa el 9 de enero. Al parecer abrió la puerta con una copa de vino en la mano y vistiendo nada más que calzoncillos.

Y eso es exactamente lo que se ve en este nuevo video, que acaba de aparecer por cortesía del reportero Alex Caprariello, de NewsNation, fruto de su reporteo.

En el clip se puede ver a un vecino grabando a la policía camino a la casa de Willis y luego el momento en que lo detienen.

Y sí, está en ropa interior, tal como habían indicado los informes desde el principio.

Vale la pena señala que aunque Willis podría haber terminado esposado en el momento, luego de que los agentes descubrieran los cuerpos congeladosde Harrington, Johnson y McGeeney, en el patio trasero de Willis, NO fue arrestado o acusado de un delito, y no lo ha sido hasta el momento.

La policía dice que no hay sospecha de crimen violento hasta el momento e incluso están diciendo a su manera que no lo están considerando como un homicidio, a pesar de algunos detalles preocupantes que tienen al público tomándose la cabeza.

Willis, por su parte, ha negado cualquier conocimiento acerca de cómo sus amigos aparecieron muertos en su patio trasero y dice que ni siquiera era consciente de que alguien los estaba buscando. Ha negado tener cualquier relación con su muerte, a pesar de la indignación colectiva de las familias.

Video of a man being handcuffed in his underwear as police discovered three dead bodies in his backyard is finally surfacing -- the latest development in this wild case out of Missouri.

You've probably heard of this by now -- it all has to do with this guy named Jordan Willis in Kansas City, who was hosting a Chiefs watch party at his house back in early January with some friends ... only for 3 of them to turn up as stiff corpses on his property days later.

The story is absolutely insane ... and it's still shrouded in mystery. Here's what cops know for sure though -- at some point after the watch party on Jan. 7, families for 3 of the attendees at Willis' get-together (David Harrington, Ricky Johnson, and Clayton McGeeney) reported them missing ... as no one had seen or heard from these men after that evening.

People had attempted to contact Willis himself, of course, but he too was off the radar for a couple days -- that is, until officers arrived at his home on Jan. 9 ... where he reportedly answered the door with a wineglass in hand ... and wearing nothing but tighty-whities.

That's exactly what you're seeing in this new video here, which just popped up courtesy of NewsNation reporter Alex Caprariello, who says he obtained it through his reporting.

In the brief clip ... you can see a neighbor recording the police run-in Willis experienced that night -- capturing all the officers who responded to the scene ... and them detaining Willis.

And yes, he indeed in his underwear ... just as reports have indicated from the get-go.

It's worth noting, while Willis might've landed in handcuffs here in the moment -- after which officers discovered the bodies of Harrington, Johnson and McGeeney, frozen to death in Willis' backyard -- he did NOT get arrested or charged with a crime ... and hasn't as of yet.

Police there are saying no foul play is suspected thus far in the investigation -- and they're even going out of their way to say this is not being looked into as a homicide ... despite some troubling details that have the public doing double takes and scratching their heads.

Willis, for his part, has denied any knowledge about how his friends turned up dead in his backyard ... and says he wasn't even aware anyone was looking for them. He's denied having anything to do with their demise ... this despite the families' collective outrage.

4:40 PM PT -- De acuerdo con los registros en línea, los Clenneys se enfrentan a cargos por delitos no especificados de fuera del estado - pero todavía estamos trabajando para confirmar exactamente lo que han sido dinged para.

Los padres de Courtney Clenney -la modelo OnlyFans que ha sido acusada de asesinar a su novio- han sido capturados por las autoridades... TMZ ha indagado.

Kim y Deborah Clenney fueron detenidos en su casa en Texas el martes en relación con el caso de asesinato ... y nos dicen que tiene algo que ver con la manipulación de pruebas potenciales.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen ... los Clenney fueron puestos bajo custodia por las fuerzas del orden en el condado de Travis en una orden de Miami.

La acusación, por lo que entendemos, se reduce a una computadora portátil que pertenecía al difunto novio de Courtney, Christian Obumseli, que nuestras fuentes dicen que permaneció en su apartamento de Miami después de que fue asesinado en una discusión el año pasado.

Se nos dice que el padre de Courtney, Kim, regresó a su unidad para limpiar sus cosas en las secuelas ... y en el proceso, tropezó con este portátil - que se nos dice no había sido incautado como prueba cuando la policía fue por primera vez después del incidente.

Nuestras fuentes dicen Courtney dio a su padre la contraseña, y se metió en ... pero no encontró nada, pero un intercambio de criptomonedas en el disco duro. Después de eso, nos dicen que notificó al abogado defensor de Courtney ... y se lo entregó al equipo legal.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que todavía están bajo custodia, y los cargos exactos son un poco confusos, aunque nos dicen que tienen una audiencia de fianza en la corte el miércoles.

2:42 PM PT -- Kroy Biermann's attorney, Marlys A. Bergstrom, tells TMZ ... her client denies the claims Kim Zolciak made to police earlier this month, adding "it's not true."

Kim Zolciak went running to cops earlier this month to accuse her estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, of looting her expensive crap and trying to sell it ... and it's all on video.

TMZ has obtained police body cam footage that was recorded a little over 2 weeks ago -- when KZ went to the police station to file a report claiming Kroy had taken a ton of her stuff hostage over the past year or so and then tried to sell some of it.

It's a little convoluted, and you can tell 'cause even the cop Kim's talking to doesn't seem to understand what it is she's reporting -- but eventually, she spells it out ... claiming Kroy confiscated some items of hers (jewelry and purses, it seems), stashed them away in a safe and eventually sold at least one of those things for cash -- that's what she's alleging anyway.

In Kim's mind, this constitutes theft .. which is why she was here at the Alpharetta Police Dept. to lodge her complaint. She tells the officer that the many things Kroy allegedly took from her are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The officer ends up asking for an itemized list of the property she claims he stole -- but in the end, the officer basically tells her this isn't something the cops can do much about.

He tells Kim that the property she's describing sounds like they may be shared marital assets -- and since their divorce is still ongoing ... he makes it seem like there isn't much cops can do. Translation: deal with it in divorce court.

Another interesting tidbit here ... Kim claims she's attempted to retrieve some other personal belongings of hers from their bedroom at their mansion -- but alleges that Kroy's bolted the door shut, and that she can't get in there.

The officer explains steps she can take to address that situation ... and then sends her on her way.

Basically ... these two are still fighting, and from the sounds of it -- they ain't sleeping together right now, which we know has flip-flopped over the course of this nasty divorce.

This is just the latest salvo in this saga ... more to come later, we're sure. BTW, we've reached out to Kroy's team for comment ... so far no word back.

Kim Zolciak fue corriendo a la policía a principios de este mes para acusar a su marido Kroy Biermann de saquear sus cosas y tratar de venderlas, y todo está en video.

TMZ obtuvo imágenes de la cámara policial de hace poco más de 2 semanas, cuando Kim Zolciak fue a la policía para alegar que Kroy había tomado un montón de sus cosas en el último año, y luego trató de vender parte de ellas.

Es un poco enrevesado, y se nota, porque incluso el policía con el que habla Kim no parece entender lo que está denunciando. Al final, ella le explica y alega que Kroy confiscó algunos de sus artículos (joyas y bolsos, al parecer), los guardó en una caja fuerte y los vendió, al menos una parte de ellas, por dinero en efectivo, o eso es lo que ella alega.

En la mente de Kim, esto constituye un robo... que es la razón por la que estaba en el Departamento de Policía de Alpharetta para presentar su denuncia. Ella le dice al oficial que las cosas que Kroy supuestamente tomó valían cientos de miles de dólares.

El oficial termina pidiéndole una lista detallada de los bienes usurpados, pero al final, este le dice que no es mucho lo que puede hacer al respecto.

Le dice a Kim que la propiedad que está describiendo podrían ser bienes conyugales compartidos, y ya que su divorcio aún está en curso, no es mucho lo que la policía puede hacer. En palabras simples: arréglate con él en el tribunal de divorcio.

Otra información interesante es que Kim asegura que ha tratado de recuperar otras pertenencias personales de su dormitorio, pero alega que Kroy tiene la puerta cerrada y atornillada y que ella no puede entrar allí.

El oficial le explica los pasos que puede seguir para hacer frente a la situación y luego la manda a casa.

Básicamente, estos dos siguen peleando, y por lo que parece, no están durmiendo juntos en este momento, lo que sabemos ha cambiado en el transcurso de su desagradable divorcio.

E. Jean Carroll's daydreaming about a shopping spree funded with $83.3 million of Donald Trump's money ... or, at least, that's the joking thought that came to mind after her heavily publicized trial.

Carroll bantered Tuesday on MSNBC about furthering women's rights ... by splurging on a whole new wardrobe and new shoes while chatting with Rachel Maddow -- and even asked the host if she'd like a brand new penthouse!

Maddow awkwardly shook her head, rebuffing any lavish gifts from Trump's money ... even if it was in the name of female empowerment, as Carroll put it.

The light-hearted exchange raised eyebrows ... especially with Carroll's lawyer, who uncomfortably clarified her client's spending spree was entirely a joke.

Too late ... as some unamused viewers are criticizing Carroll for her "toxic feminism" and making light of the justice system

Others online branded her "disgusting" for making a mockery out of the American justice system -- some even said it was a slap in the face to other victims.

Rajon Rondo -- a two-time NBA champion -- was arrested on Sunday and booked on gun and weed charges, TMZ Sports has confirmed.

According to Jackson County Jail records in Indiana, the ex-Boston Celtics star was thrown behind bars at around 4 PM. A rep for the facility tells us he was booked on three separate charges -- possession of paraphernalia, possession of marijuana, and unlawful possession of a firearm -- before he was released on $705 bond.

Court documents we obtained show it all stemmed from a routine traffic stop at around 2:21 PM on an Indiana highway.

According to the docs, an Indiana State Police trooper pulled over Rondo for no plate on the back of his Tesla. However, during the stop, the trooper stated he smelled marijuana emanating from the former basketball player ... and in an ensuing search of his car, a small amount of weed, drug paraphernalia, and a gun were all discovered.

Due to a previous case against Rondo, he was not supposed to have the firearm.

All three charges against the four-time All-Star are misdemeanors.

This is, of course, not the first time Rondo has been accused of wrongdoing ... in May 2022, a woman filed an emergency protection order against him after she claimed he snapped at her for interrupting a video game session he was having with his son.

She accused Rondo of smashing things around the house, before pulling out a gun. The case, however, was dismissed weeks later.

Rondo was also sued in 2020 ... after a woman claimed she was injured during an altercation with the former point guard and his girlfriend outside an apartment complex. That case was settled in 2022.

Jonathan Majors está hablando sobre su vida después de ser declarado culpable en un caso de violencia doméstica y dice que está siendo positivo tras el veredicto.

TMZ se encontró con el actor de "Creed III" el lunes en West Hollywood, quien nos cuenta que a pesar de que el juicio lo impactó, ha estado aferrándose a la fe y a la oración para encontrar un poco de luz en este tiempo oscuro, y añadió: "Dios es bueno".

Enfocarse en la religión definitivamente parece estar haciendo maravillas. Majors estaba sonriente y relajado durante nuestra interacción, aunque cuando se sintió presionado a hablar sobre cuestiones del trabajo en el futuro nos dijo que era suficiente por ahora.

Los asuntos relacionados con su carrera son claramente un tema delicado para Jonathan Majors. El actor fue despedido de una serie de proyectos después de su veredicto, incluyendo todos los proyectos de Marvel, que es, en general, un pináculo financiero para cualquier actor, por lo que solo podemos suponer que fue difícil cuando decidieron sacarlo.

Por supuesto, sería de mal gusto para los grandes estudios de Hollywood estar unido a Majors después de sus recientes batallas legales.

Recuerden, el actor fue condenado por 2 de 4 cargos después de ser acusado de maltratar a su exnovia, Grace Jabbari. Los cargos incluían asalto imprudente y acoso, aunque fue absuelto de acoso agravado y asalto intencional.

Jonathan volvió a reiterar su inocencia a principios de este mes en una entrevista con ABC News, la primera desde el veredicto, aunque expresó su pesar por la forma en que manejó las cosas con su ex.

Está por verse lo que va a decir cuando esté enfrente del juez el próximo 6 de febrero, y se enfrente hasta un año tras las rejas.

Jonathan Majors is speaking out about his life after the guilty verdict, and before sentencing in the domestic violence case -- and he says he's staying positive and doing okay in the aftermath.

TMZ got the "Creed III" actor out Monday in West Hollywood, where despite the judgment blindsiding him, he told us he's been relying on faith and prayer for some light amid this dark time ... adding, "God is good."

A focus on religion definitely seems to be doing him wonders .. Majors was grinning, happy, and relaxed during our interaction -- though when pressed on matters regarding future work, he drew the line ... telling us that was enough for now.

Work-related matters are clearly a sore subject for JM ... he was booted from a series of projects following his guilty verdict, including all Marvel projects -- which is, generally, a financial pinnacle for any actor, so we can only assume it was a bummer for him when they pulled the rug from under his feet.

Of course, it would be in bad taste for major Hollywood studios to be attached to Majors after his recent legal battles.

Remember ... he was convicted on 2 of 4 counts after being accused of roughing up his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari -- the charges included reckless assault and harassment ... though he was acquitted of aggravated harassment and intentional assault.

Jonathan maintained his innocence earlier this month to ABC News in his first interview since the verdict ... though, he expressed regret over how he handled things with his ex.

It remains to be seen if he'll say that in front of the judge when he's sentenced -- that's scheduled for Feb. 6, and he faces up to a year behind bars.

Former UFC champion Jamahal Hill was offered a plea deal in his domestic violence case, TMZ Sports has learned.

Prosecutors extended the deal to Hill earlier this month, according to court documents. As part of the proposed agreement, Hill would plead guilty to one charge of domestic violence ... in exchange for the dismissal of the aggravated domestic violence charge they had initially hit him with following his arrest in November.

Hill is expected to make a decision on the offer by a court hearing in March.

We reached out to Hill's attorney for comment ... though so far, no word back yet.

We broke the story ... Hill was arrested back on Nov. 27 after his brother, James Hill Jr., told police the MMA fighter roughed him up at his Kent, Michigan home following a series of arguments the two had gotten into over Thanksgiving weekend.

Cops say James told them Jamahal "sucker punched" him with a closed fist -- before hitting him a second time. Police said in court documents James sustained a swollen face during the altercation -- adding that he was also "missing a front tooth that he stated got broke when Jamahal assaulted him."

Cher quiere poner a su hijo en una tutela, pero él dice que no hace falta, y por ahora, un juez sigue estando de su lado... negandole a la actriz y cantante una vez más la solicitud para encerrarlo.

Elijah Blue Allman estaba con cara de poker en dirección a su audiencia de nombramiento temporal el lunes, donde un juez tuvo que decidir si Cher podía finalmente poner a su hijo adulto en una tutela. A principios de este mes se le negó aquella petición.

A principios de enero, el tribunal bloqueó el esfuerzo de Cher para poner Elijah en una tutela - del lado de los abogados de Elijah cuando argumentaron que no se les había dado tiempo suficiente para hacer su caso en contra de la tutela ... además, no conseguir documentos que necesitaban para combatir su solicitud.

Cher citó la batalla en curso de su hijo con la adicción como la razón clave por la que quiere que el aparato legal utilizado en él - alegando que no se puede confiar para manejar sus finanzas por su cuenta.

Ella dice que los pagos regulares que recibe de un fondo fiduciario que dejó su difunto padre, Gregg Allman, es probable que se desperdicie debido a los problemas que afirma Elijah sigue experimentando, pero él afirma que todo es mentir, diciendo que ha cambiado para mejor.

Bueno, el juez escuchó los argumentos de nuevo y una vez más derribó a Cher y a su equipo, simplemente diciendo que no habían demostrado que Elijah no tuviera la capacidad para manejar sus propios asuntos, pasando a decir que un supuesto diagnóstico de trastorno bipolar, en sí mismo, no significa necesariamente que es incompetente. Como dijo el juez, que no se ocupa de la capacidad.

El tribunal también reconoció que Elijah ha demostrado en la documentación que se ha mantenido limpio y sobrio, además, también ha demostrado que está manejando su dinero muy bien.

El juez fijó una fecha futura para un juicio sobre esta cuestión - donde presumiblemente se decidirá de una vez por todas - y pasó a sugerir Cher y su hijo la cabeza en la mediación, STAT. Cher sonrió en BTW a distancia ... era solo Elijah, su esposa y todos los abogados en la corte hoy.

Nuestro fotógrafo encontró a Elijah y a sus abogados a la salida y tuvieron unas palabras.

Cher wants to put her son into a conservatorship, but he says he doesn't need one -- and, for now, a judge is still siding with him ... yet again denying her request to lock him down.

Elijah Blue Allman was stone-faced heading into his temporary appointment hearing Monday -- where a judge will presumably decide if Cher will, in fact, be tapped to head up a conservatorship for her adult son ... this after temporarily denying her earlier this month.

In early Jan., the court blocked Cher's effort to put Elijah into a conservatorship -- siding with Elijah's attorneys when they argued they hadn't been given enough time to make their case against the conservatorship ... plus, not getting docs they needed to combat her request.

Cher cited her son's ongoing battle with addiction as the key reason why she wants the legal apparatus used on him -- claiming he can't be trusted to manage his finances on his own.

She specifically says that regular payments he receives from a trust fund left behind from his late father, Gregg Allman, are likely to be squandered because of issues she claims Elijah continues to experience ... but he's called BS on that, saying he's cleaned up his act.

Welp, the judge heard the arguments anew ... and he once again shot down Cher and her team -- simply saying they hadn't proven Elijah doesn't have the capacity to handle his own affairs ... going on to say that an alleged bipolar disorder diagnosis, in and of itself, doesn't necessarily mean he's incompetent. As the judge said, that doesn't address capacity.

The court also acknowledged that Elijah has proven in paperwork that he's remained clean and sober of late ... plus, he's also proven that he's handling his money just fine.

The judge set a future date for a trial on this issue -- where it will presumably be decided once and for all -- and went on to suggest Cher and her kid head into mediation, STAT. Cher beamed in remotely BTW ... it was only Elijah, his wife and all the lawyers in court today.

Our photog got Elijah and his lawyers on the way out as well ... and they had some words.

Jay Leno brought his wife, Mavis, with him to his weekly comedy gig this weekend -- this after revealing in court documents she suffers from dementia ... and it's a brave move.

The couple went out to enjoy Jay's Sunday evening show at The Comedy & Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, CA ... putting on a united front after Jay took the first step in becoming conservator of his wife's estate just last Friday.

They certainly weren't hiding away from cameras here -- Jay and Mavis held hands as they slowly made their way into the venue ... and on their way out, Mavis was chatting with some friends. The message they seem to be telegraphing ... we're carrying on like normal.

TMZ broke the story ... Jay filed docs Friday to become conservator of Mavis' estate, claiming she may not have the wherewithal to take care of herself because she suffers from dementia. Our sources say Mavis has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.

There's no indication Jay and Mavis are at odds over a potential conservatorship ... they've been happily married for going on 44 years, and Sunday's outing is further proof their bond remains strong.

It's interesting that Jay felt comfortable enough to bring Mavis out so publicly in the wake of that -- like we said, it speaks to a number of things ... including breaking down stigmas about Alzheimer's and dementia. That's one way to interpret this anyway.

In any case, ya gotta figure that a little bit of laughter never hurts the situation ... and Jay can provide plenty of those and then some.

Christmas Abbott's baby daddy was arrested in North Carolina ... for allegedly sharing explicit images of Christmas without her permission.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ ... Benjamin Bunn, who shares five-year-old son Loyal with Abbott, was arrested back in October and charged with three counts of disclosure of private images. He was later released on a $30,000 bond.

Sources close to the investigation tell us ... Abbot was being harassed by a fake account pretending to be her. Christmas believed Bunn was behind the account and was using it to post photos taken from an account where she publishes adult content from behind a paywall.

We’re told Christmas took this info to the cops ... who investigated, got a warrant, and eventually took Bunn into custody. His next court date is in February.

"Big Brother" fans will remember Christmas from seasons 19 and 22 of the show ... where she finished third and fourth respectively. She's also a CrossFit trainer and former Nascar pit crew member.

Abbott's had well-documented trouble with Bunn in the past. As we reported ... just a couple months before her son was born, Christmas suspected Benjamin was cheating on her -- and went to a Tampa gym to confront his alleged mistress.

The confrontation got out of hand ... with Christmas ramming into the woman's car. Cops showed up at the scene, but they declined to process her at the time, because she was almost 8 months pregnant. She turned herself in a few months later after she'd given birth.

El padre del bebé de Christmas Abbott fue detenido en Carolina del Norte por presuntamente compartir imágenes explícitas de Christmas sin su permiso.

De acuerdo con documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, Benjamin Bunn, que comparte a Loyal -de cinco años- con Abbott, fue detenido en octubre y acusado de tres cargos de divulgación de imágenes privadas. Más tarde fue puesto en libertad bajo fianza de 30.000 dólares.

Fuentes cercanas a la investigación nos dicen que Abbott estaba siendo acosada por una cuenta falsa que se hacía pasar por ella. Christmas creía que Bunn estaba detrás de la cuenta y que la estaba utilizando para publicar fotos tomadas de una cuenta donde publicaba contenido para adultos.

Nos dicen que Christmas llevó esta información a la policía, quienes investigaron, obtuvo una orden judicial y finalmente detuvieron a Bunn. Su próxima cita en la corte es en febrero.

Los fans de "Gran Hermano" recordarán a Christmas de las temporadas 19 y 22 del programa, donde terminó tercera y cuarta respectivamente. Ella es también una entrenadora de CrossFit y ex-miembro del equipo de boxes Nascar.

Abbott ha tenido problemas bien documentados con Bunn en el pasado. Como hemos informado, solo un par de meses antes de que naciera su hijo, Christmas sospechaba que Benjamin la estuviera engañando y fue a un gimnasio de Tampa para hacerle frente a su supuesta amante.

La confrontación se le fue de las manos, con Christmas embistiendo el carro de la mujer. La policía se presentaron en la escena, pero se negaron a procesarla en ese momento porque estaba embarazada de casi 8 meses. Ella se entregó unos meses más tarde después de haber dado a luz.
