Little People

One of the stars of "Little Women: LA" is taking a bunch of doctors to court for a BIG payday ... 'cause she claims they screwed up her neck in surgery.

Christy Gibel just sued some M.D.s from a surgery center in Beverly Hills called 90210 Surgery Medical Center as well as Cedars-Sinai and other private practices, claiming the whole lot screwed up a spinal cord surgery she underwent with them in 2016.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Christy says she went under last November for a procedure called an anterior discectomy and spinal cord decompression, and during a couple post-op visits ... the doctors overseeing the matter misled her despite worsening symptoms.

She says she felt her left eye drooping, and her tongue swelling, and was unable to speak for a while -- all of which she says she was told would subside over time ... but it didn't. She also claims they admitted her jugular vein was nicked during surgery.

The reality star is suing for negligence and asking for an unspecified amount in damages and medical costs related to the alleged botched surgery. We've reached out to 90210 and Cedars ... so far, no word back.

The "Little Women: Dallas" reunion went full Maury Povich when Bri Barlup revealed her ex, Wooda, is the guy who knocked her up ... and he ain't happy about it.

The reunion doesn't air until December, but we're told the taping ended with Wooda storming off the set. Producers brought him out as a surprise guest, and he was blindsided by Bri's baby bombshell.

We're told there was a chance the father was another dude Bri had been dating after they broke up ... so Wooda is demanding a paternity test. The exes already have a kid, 3-year-old Malik.

As for Bri, we're told she's ecstatic about keeping her baby daddy count at 1.

"Little Women: Dallas" stars Emily Fernandez and Bri Barlup are following in Cardi B's footsteps ... jumping from reality TV to rappers flaunting big stacks in their new music video.

We got an exclusive clip of Emily and Bri -- emcees Right Cheek and Left Cheek -- in their new "Get Rich" vid. It's the follow-up to their debut, "Poppin Bottles," which has racked up almost 10 million views in a couple months.

Remember, Bri is several months pregnant, but you can see it didn't slow her flow during production. We know what you're thinking, but we're told this isn't just a lame plotline for the show -- the ladies are dead serious about hip-hop.

They've even reached out to Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa to collab, but no word back. Yet.

Tempers are flaring on the set of 'Little Women: Couples Retreat' after a white cast member called a black cast member a "monkey ass."

TMZ got this clip of Lifetime's "Little Women: LA" spin-off where Lila is basically asking to get dropped ... by repeatedly hurling the racial slur against Tonya Banks.

"Little Women: LA" star Briana Renee is only 3'8" but isn't letting her height stop her from pursuing a career in modeling.

Briana's aiming to be the first little person to become a big-time model, and got in front of a camera to prove her skills. She chose to do mostly lingerie shots because her ultimate goal is to be a Maxim cover girl.

Two "Little Women: Dallas" cast members opened a can of whoop ass on each other during filming and it ended with a human dogpile.

We got the footage of Amanda Loy and Brichelle Humphrey goin' down swinging at the Henderson Tap House in Big D.

It all started after Bri accused Amanda, who's a bodybuilder, of taking steroids ... and things escalated quickly.

It's not the size of the stripper, it's the motion of her ass while werkin' it for Jadakiss that counts ... if you're a tiny stripper in a West Virginia club.

It all went down after Jadakiss' recent appearance at Lust Gentlemen's Club. We're told the little lady -- she goes by Ivy -- surprised the rapper in the VIP room after his 30 minute set.

You gotta see her moves, and especially Jadakiss' reaction to 'em.

'Little Women: ATL' star Juicy caught a plate of chicken wings to the face during a fight with 2 of her castmates ... and TMZ got the footage.

It all went down at a restaurant in May, and as luck would have it ... show cameras were rolling. Minnie and her mother, Tammie, were pissed Juicy didn't believe Minnie was pregnant and had miscarried.

It got so heated ... Tammie, who is NOT a little person, decided to go HAM with the chicken. The clip, which airs in Wednesday's episode, is an instant classic.

Juicy wasn't amused -- she got a temporary restraining order against Tammie after the incident, but a judge later dismissed the case. Still, Juicy refused to film with Minnie and her mom for a month afterward ... and there's still bad blood.

"Little Women: LA" star Jasmine Arteaga Sorge and her husband, Chris, are expecting their second child ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the couple tell us ... Jasmine is nearing the end of her first trimester. No word on whether it's a boy or a girl.

They'll document the pregnancy on the show, and we're told cameras will also be rolling for the birth.

Jasmine's the fourth 'L.A.' cast member to get pregnant.

Congrats.

"Little Women: LA" star Briana Renee overcame a difficult pregnancy and gave birth to a baby boy ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to Briana and her husband, Matt Ericson, tell us their kid arrived Wednesday at a San Diego hospital ... tipping the scales at 5 lbs, 3 oz. We're told they're keeping the name under wraps for now.

The birth came 4 and a half weeks early, but we're told everything went smoothly. As we reported ... Briana was briefly hospitalized when she experienced early contractions 6 months into the pregnancy.

This is their first child together. Mazel!

"Little People, Big World" stars Amy and Matt Roloff's divorce was a VERY even split ... right down to the family pics they collected over 27 years of marriage.

The Roloffs' divorce was finalized in late April. Neither is getting spousal support and their 4 kids are all grown -- so no issue with child support.

Each gets to keep half a stake in their Oregon family farm and the pumpkin salsa company -- which are featured on the show.

There's a special section in the docs about family photos ... it's a 50/50 split and they have to make copies of all the originals and share 'em with one another. Matt also made off with his 2 classic VW Bugs.

The new season of 'LPBW' premiered Tuesday night, and so far it's been the most civil onscreen breakup ... we'll see if it continues that way.

Expectant "Little Women: LA" star Briana Renee is in the danger zone after going into labor only 6 months into her pregnancy ... TMZ has learned.

Briana's husband, Matt Ericson, rushed her to a hospital Monday night in Murrieta, CA after she experienced severe pains that had her worried about the baby. It turns out those pains were contractions, and now doctors are closely monitoring Briana.

We're told there's serious concern because premature births are typically far more risky for little people. Doctors have Briana on round-the-clock bed rest, and meds to slow the contractions because it's just too soon.

The show is currently shooting, but we're told production is on hold ... since cameras are banned at the hospital.

"Little Women: LA" stars Briana Renee and husband Matt Ericson are expecting a little bun in the oven ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the reality stars tell us Briana is currently 5 months pregnant. They don't know the baby's sex yet, but the couple is excited.

We're told their controversial relationship gets more rocky during the current season of their show -- but right now, they're doing good.

The pregnancy announcement will be featured on the show.

Four of the "Little Women: Atlanta" cast members got into a knock-down, drag-out fight that ended with one of them -- the pregnant one -- ending up in the hospital.

In an episode airing Wednesday ... Emily and her friend Bri got into it with twins Amanda and Andrea Salinas. The twins just started waiting tables at the same club where Emily and Bri work as dancers -- and as everyone knows ... waitresses and dancers don't mix.

Watch, Emily (with cornrows and a "Boss" tee) is the one with child ... but she didn't hesitate to throw down. We're told she went to a hospital for a checkup after the fight.

"Little Women: LA" star Christy McGinity learned rolling through an intersection -- even just a little -- can prove costly.

Christy appeared before Judge Marilyn Milian Monday for a taping of "The People's Court." She was being sued by a woman who claimed Christy slammed into her Mercedes at a L.A. intersection.

Christy climbed a step ladder to give the judge a blow-by-blow, but in the end, it was her admission she rolled through a red light to make a right that sunk her.

"Little Women: Atlanta" stars Ashley "Minnie" Ross and rapper Pastor Troy are expecting a little miracle to join them soon ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the reality stars tell us Ashley just found out she's pregnant with PT's baby and both are very excited.

Ashley and PT's off-and-on romance has been covered on the show, but we're told they want to keep the pregnancy off camera ... so no diaper drama story lines, for now.

Even though their relationship was shaky for the last 8 months, our sources say they're good now. Obviously, they were VERY good on at least one occasion.
