1:09 PM PT -- Slaughter's attorneys, from Adeife & Rabii APC, tell us the judge didn't grant the restraining order because of the actual attack at the party, but instead for what happened after.
They tell us, "The judge determined that Ms. Slaughter’s admission of cellular communication with the petitioner after she was served with the TRO was a violation of the order irrespective of the petitioners repeated attempts to contact her."
However, they say Slaughter only tried to contact the woman after she allegedly posted her home address online ... her attorneys tell us Slaughter just wanted the information removed.
They conclude in telling us, "Ms. Slaughter fully intends to exhaust any and all legal and equitable remedies available to her for her safety and her families."
Moniece Slaughter is being ordered to stay the hell away from some folks who claim the "Love & Hip Hop" star attacked them at Cardi B's birthday party.
According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... two partygoers just got permanent restraining orders against Moniece.
As we reported ... Moniece was accused of going on the offensive at the birthday bash for Cardi back in October, allegedly throwing punches and drinks.
10/11/21
Moniece's accusers beelined it to court, claiming she was using her celebrity to harass them and smear their names with false allegations, and a judge signed off on a temporary restraining order.
Now, the restraining order has been granted for 2 years ... and it requires Moniece to keep at least 100 yards away from her alleged victims and bars her from contacting or harassing them.
We reached out to Moniece's camp ... so far, no word back.

Trey Songz Sued Woman Sues for $20M, Claims Anal Rape ... He Adamantly Denies

Exclusive

6:01 PM PT -- In a revised statement, a rep for Trey tells TMZ ... "Earlier today, the attorney who drafted this suit was credibly accused of trying to pay a woman to falsely accuse Trey. Hours later, that same attorney has filed this suit on behalf of an anonymous client. It isn’t hard to see what’s happening here, and it is a shame for genuine victims of sexual assault.
The rep adds, "the allegations in this complaint are false. Trey looks forward to having the facts fully aired.”
Trey Songz allegedly anally raped a woman at a house party ... this according to a new $20 million lawsuit.
The singer is being sued by a Jane Doe who says she had a consensual sexual relationship with Trey before the alleged rape on March 24, 2016 ... when she claims he suddenly turned into a "savage rapist."
According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the woman claims Trey invited her to a house party in L.A., where he invited her upstairs for what she believed would be consensual sex.
Instead, she claims Trey repeatedly asked her if he could "get that a**" on the way upstairs ... to which she says she repeatedly told him "no" and to stop asking.
In the docs, the woman claims Trey's demeanor changed upon entering the bedroom ... she says he threw her to the ground, ripped her pants off, pinned her down face first and forced his penis into her anus without her consent.
The woman claims she screamed in pain and begged Trey to stop, and even tried fighting him off her ... but says she was overpowered.
In the suit, the woman says someone entered the room during the alleged rape, giving her hope that what she describes as a "brutal rape" might end ... but she says the person quickly left the room and Trey kept raping her.
The woman claims she was only able to escape after Trey finished and stopped raping her ... grabbing her clothes, except for her underwear, and running outside to call an Uber.
In the docs, the woman says her Uber driver noticed she was in distress and rerouted her to a hospital, where she claims a sexual assault exam was performed and the police were called.
The woman says the exam showed she had "severe anal tearing that could require surgery" ... but she says she didn't name Trey to police because she was "in shock and fearing for her life."
She's now suing Trey for $20 million in damages.
The woman's attorney, Ariel Mitchell, is also representing 2 women who are suing Trey for alleged sexual assaults in Miami and Las Vegas.
As we first told you ... Trey's legal team is accusing Mitchell of witness tampering in the Miami sexual assault suit, an allegation Mitchell vehemently denied.
Mitchell and the woman's other attorney, George Vrabeck, tell TMZ ... "Victims are coming forward every day. Just know you are not alone, and this behavior is unacceptable. George Vrabeck and I will not be deterred by bullying or intimidation tactics and will continue our pursuit of Justice for sexual assault victims of Trey Songz.”
We reached out to Trey's camp about this latest suit ... so far, no word back.

Valentine's Day Celebs Boo'd Up ... Gunna & Chloe, Justin & Hailey and More
You are not alone ... the annual obligatory Valentine's dinner is a thing celebs gotta do too -- it's just that folks like Chris Pratt, Justin Bieber and Gunna hit more expensive restaurants.
Among the couples spotted out getting their V-Day on were Anthony Davis and his wife at Giorgio Baldi ... while relatively new boos Gunna and Chloe Bailey hit BOA Steakhouse.
Nothing screams we're official like that Feb. 14 dinner date!!!
Other famous lovebirds out in the L.A. area included:
- Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger went to Cafe Vida in Pacific Palisades
- Larry English and Nicole - Tommy's in Beverly Hills
- Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham - Nobu in Malibu
- Justin and Hailey - Nobu in Malibu
Meanwhile, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen were seen grabbing lunch in Beverly Hills. Nice and romantic, right? Well, Chrissy also zinged her Valentine pretty good by revealing the less-than-gushing card John gave her.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
She joked (we think) ... "I guess he saves it all for the songs."
BTW, Craig's in WeHo was another hot spot last night ... where we saw Lizzo did dinner with a mystery/masked man. Nothing wrong with a side of intrigue to go with your romance!

Travis Scott Parties with Kim K Look-Alike ... And No Ye in Sight!!!
8:16 AM PT -- 2/16 -- A source close to Travis tells us he doesn't know Chaney, and wasn't there to party with her ... they just both happened to be under the same roof, "a total coincidence."
Chaney Jones is definitely in Kanye West’s orbit -- but after this latest outing with Travis Scott, you kinda wonder ... who's she really with, anyway???
The IG model/Kim K look-alike was spotted leaving a Dave & Buster’s very early Monday morning in L.A., where TS was also in attendance for a Super Bowl after-party that went late into the night. Rappers Gunna, Lil Baby, Swae Lee and their entourages were all in tow as well.
Travis seemed to be heading out solo, ditto for Chaney. Neither of them was spotted together upon exiting. The interesting thing, of course, is that there’s no Ye in sight here -- and he’s definitely the dude she’s been linked to a lot lately ... at least on the surface.
As you know, CJ has crashed two different events Kanye was also attending -- an album listening party and a movie screening. And, although the two of them have never been photographed together, most people assume she’s someone Ye is seeing at the moment.
And yet ... here she is without him in the mix, seemingly cozying up to Travis and co.
Travis has been out on the town quite a bit lately, despite the fact he just welcomed a new baby with Kylie Jenner ... who’s been at home with the kid. As you know, his name is Wolf -- and he's all of 13 days old now.
Speaking of Trav's baby mama, she proudly showed off a wild flower arrangement he appears to have gotten her for Valentine’s Day.

Trey Songz Dismiss Sexual Assault Suit, Judge ... There's Witness Tampering Afoot!!!

Exclusive
- 203 shares
2:23 PM PT -- Mitchell has responded to the allegations made by Trey and his team, saying, "I unequivocally denounce the allegations pled in Defendant Songz’s motion which is a desperate attempt to shift the narrative from his abhorrent and egregious behavior."
She continues, "These allegations were filed back in May 2021 with the Florida bar and NO ACTION was undertaken by the bar due to inconsistent testimony and no evidence. Defendant and his attorneys are dangerously close to the line of a defamation lawsuit if they continue with their knowingly false, libelous and defamatory statements against Plaintiff’s counsel."
Finally, Mitchell tells us, "This is nothing more than bullying and an attempt to silence counsel and the many victims who have been assaulted by Defendant Songz and will be vigorously defended in court. I will further be exonerated as I was when this allegation was previously made by Defendant Songz’s prior attorney.”
Trey Songz is being sued by a woman for sexual assault in Miami, and now he wants a judge to toss the case ... because he says her attorney tried paying off a key witness.
The singer filed new legal docs in response to a recent lawsuit filed by Jauhara Jeffries -- who alleges he violated her while partying with him during New Year's Eve, 2017.
She claims as she was dancing on a couch at E11VEN nightclub -- this following a shindig thrown by Diddy that she and Trey had attended earlier in the night -- Trey allegedly slipped his finger into her vagina without her consent.
Here’s the thing ... in new paperwork filed by Trey’s attorneys, obtained by TMZ, the singer insists there’s an unnamed witness who’s at the center of this whole thing ... and who can actually clear TS’s name.
The reason ... they say this witness was with them all at the club, and not only emphatically denies being assaulted herself, but also says she did not witness Trey assault anyone. What's more, per the docs, the witness claims she was approached by Jeffries' lead attorney in a bid to try and get her to change her story.
Trey's lawyer, Jeffrey Neiman, says this witness claims Jeffries' lawyer, Ariel Mitchell, wanted her to get on board as a co-plaintiff to strengthen the claims against Trey and possibly score a larger settlement.
Trey's team says the witness told them Mitchell offered a payout between $100k-$200k, depending on how high she could get Trey and co. to settle.
The witness apparently told Mitchell to kick rocks, adding she wouldn't lie for any amount of money ... and was only interested in telling the truth. According to the docs, the truth is that she never saw anyone get sexually assaulted during the night in question.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Interestingly enough, Ariel Mitchell is the same attorney who is representing another one of Trey's accusers, Dylan Gonzalez, who says the singer raped her in Vegas.
Trey's team feels Mitchell engaged in serious misconduct warranting a dismissal.

Kodak Black is out of the hospital after being shot in the leg ... and he very clearly needs help getting around.
Check out this video TMZ obtained, showing Kodak leaving Cedars-Sinai Monday afternoon in Los Angeles ... as you can see, he's using a walker and moving pretty slowly.

David Oliver Willis, who repeatedly appeared on "American Idol," has been arrested, after police found LSD in his car ... TMZ has learned.
According to docs obtained by TMZ ... David was pulled over last Friday in Lake County Florida for a malfunctioning headlight.
The officer says they could smell marijuana billowing from the car and proceeded to search the vehicle. Cops say they found a grinder and baggies containing several small squares of paper that tested positive for LSD.
Officers say David admitted to smoking weed with a friend prior to driving ... but claimed the LSD did not belong to him.
Because he was the only person in the vehicle during the stop, officers arrested Willis and booked him for possession of a controlled substance (LSD) ... a third-degree felony. He's due back in court next month.
As you might recall, David has had a long run with "American Idol." He appeared on season 12, season 13, and he came back for season 14.
He became a quarterfinalist his first season.

Frankie Grande says Kanye West just wants a reaction from Pete Davidson ... telling us the nasty rumors Kanye's spreading about his sister and Mac Miller are a bunch of bull.
We got Ariana Grande's brother at Crossroads Kitchen in Los Angeles on Monday and asked about Kanye claiming Pete sent Mac intimate photos of him and AG.
Frankie says he's never heard this to be true and chalks it up to Kanye looking to stir the pot now that Pete is dating his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian.
It's a pretty nasty rumor to spread, but Frankie's taking the high road here ... telling us he doesn't put much stock in what Kanye says and wishing Ye, Pete and Kim nothing but the best.
Still, Frankie says he would never spread rumors about someone or insert himself in someone else's business ... and while he hopes folks like Kanye follow his lead, he doesn't want to control anyone.
Frankie obviously knows Pete from when the 'SNL' star was engaged to Ariana ... and he tells us why he doesn't buy the narrative Pete is with Kim for clout.
Safe to say anyone ... gay or straight ... would want to date Kim ... at least according to Frankie.

Dr. Dre has no problem admitting it, he's a little hungover after celebrating his Super Bowl Halftime Show performance -- one of the best ever -- and he says the party is STILL going!!!
The D-R-E joined us Monday on "TMZ Live" and, in his own words, he was still "buzzing" about what he, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem and Kendrick Lamar pulled off on Super Sunday.
First off ... that amazing performance. Dre says he went into rehearsals expecting the NFL to heavily censor the songs, but was pleasantly surprised that they only made "minor changes" -- among them, Kendrick's reference to specific L.A. gangs.
Dre says he gets why they called for that to be removed.

As for Eminem taking a knee as an homage to Colin Kaepernick -- Dre says that's something Marshall decided to do on his own, and he never heard the NFL say a peep about it.
After the show, Dre told us they were all feeling the love from roughly 70,000 fans inside SoFi Stadium -- not to mention the millions upon millions watching around the world.
He says he toasted their success with a dinner, and then went to his house to hang with friends ... including Don Cheadle and Mary J. BTW, he broke some big news about her!!!
And, then he gave us the scoop on his own personal celebration that involved a fast-food run. You gotta see this ... Dre says his trainer's gonna be pissed, but hey ... we can all agree the Doc earned himself a large order of fries. Right?
Safe to say, Mickey D's did NOT forget about Dre!!!

Kanye West To Kim Kardashian Here's Truck Full of Roses!!!
Kanye West clearly thinks he has a shot at reconciling with Kim Kardashian -- despite all signs pointing to a March divorce -- because he just sent a truckload of roses to her home.
Yeezy just posted some pictures of his grand gesture ... and as you can see, it's a black truck with the bed piled high with dozens of pink and red flowers.
Kanye customized the truck to say "MY VISION IS KRYSTAL KLEAR" along the side panel ... and he also used the phrase for his Instagram post.
You'll recall ... Kanye made a big show of Valentine's Day gifts for Kim when they were still together ... with lots of flowers and even a special performance from legendary saxophonist Kenny G.
But, Kanye and Kim are in the middle of a divorce ... so this V-Day gift is a bit bizarre.
As we reported ... Kim and Pete Davidson already celebrated the occasion ... with a dinner date and a kiss. Kanye's newly single though ... he and Julia Fox are broken up after a whirlwind romance that turned out to be pretty short-lived.
Ye hasn't given up on Kim ... he's made it clear on social media he wants to get his family back ... and this gift seems to be his latest attempt at winning her over.

Kanye West & Julia Fox It's Over ... Split After 2 Months
It’s splitsville for Kanye West and Julia Fox ... thus capping off a whirlwind romance that was pretty short-lived and, evidently, not all that serious to begin with.
A rep for the actress confirms to TMZ that the couple is dunzo -- saying “Julia and Kanye remain good friends and collaborators but they are no longer together.” They'd only been dating for about a month and change ... like we said, nice and quick.
No word on when exactly they may have split, but ya gotta figure it might’ve been anywhere between now and well over a week ago. The last time they were pictured together in public was at the beginning of February for her birthday.
FWIW, Julia doesn’t seem all that torn up about it at all. She took to IG and posted since-deleted messages that essentially say ... no hard feelings, bro! JF acknowledges she was never in love with Ye, and seems to have just been going along for the ride in what was clearly a fling.
She also said she “came up” as a result of getting with Kanye -- and, indeed, she did. Her celebrity status got a major boost, as she’s been getting booked left and right for weeks now. It also sounds like she’s got an actual tell-all in the works, where she teased even more tea than what she’s spoken on so far.
As for Kanye, he appears to have moved on already -- being linked to a woman named Chaney Jones, who’s no doubt a Kim K look-alike ... although the two of them have yet to be seen together in photos.
However, Kanye still hasn't given up on Kim, expressing very publicly on social media his desire to get his family back.

Joe Burrow Hits Stage With Kid Cudi ... After Super Bowl Loss
It wasn't all sad times for Joe Burrow on Sunday night -- because after losing the biggest game of his life, the Bengals star at least got to live out one of his dreams.
Burrow hit the stage with his childhood idol, Kid Cudi, after losing Super Bowl LVI ... and video from the scene shows that while he was somber, he was still enjoying the moment.
Check out the footage from Cincinnati's after-party, Joe was spotted in the background on stage as Cudi -- who was wearing a Burrow jersey -- performed for a packed crowd in attendance.
Of course, Burrow and Cudi have grown close these playoffs -- Joey Franchise shouted out the rapper on Cudi's 38th birthday after defeating the Chiefs to advance to the Super Bowl a few weeks ago.
Burrow took the bromance a step further a short time later ... personally sending the jersey he wore in the AFC Championship Game to Cudi as a gift.
Cudi -- who's a native of Ohio and a big supporter of 25-year-old Burrow -- loved the present, saying he was "geeked" over it.
Now, seems the two have formed a real deal friendship -- something Burrow no doubt needed after the tough loss.

It made for a ton of fanfare ... and folks cheered the trio on. Soon after, Mary J. Blige came on and went through a quick medley as well, before passing the baton on to Kendrick ... who eventually handed things off to Eminem, pumping up the energy with each performance.
Snoop and Dre eventually took center stage once again ... and ended things on a high note with 'Still D.R.E.' -- and were flanked by all the artists by the finale of the song.
