Jamie Foxx está negando con vehemencia las acusaciones de que agredió sexualmente a una modelo, contraatacando las afirmaciones que ella está haciendo en una demanda reciente.

Un portavoz de Jamie le dice a TMZ: "El supuesto incidente nunca sucedió. En 2020, esta persona presentó una demanda casi idéntica en Brooklyn. Ese caso fue desestimado poco después. Las reclamaciones no son más viables hoy de lo que eran entonces".

Fuimos los primeros en informar de la noticia, Jamie está siendo demandado por una mujer que dice que la tocó sin consentimiento en un restaurante de Nueva York en agosto de 2015.

En la demanda, la mujer afirma que le pidió a Jamie que le sacara una foto y le dijo: "Wow, tienes ese cuerpo de supermodelo" y "hueles tan bien". Ella dice que la tiró del brazo hacia una zona trasera y empezó a pasarle las manos por todo el cuerpo, incluyendo la vagina, los pechos y el ano.

Jamie Foxx is vehemently denying allegations he sexually assaulted a model ... pushing back on the claims she's making in a recent lawsuit.

A spokesperson for Jamie tells TMZ ... "The alleged incident never happened. In 2020, this individual filed a nearly identical lawsuit in Brooklyn. That case was dismissed shortly thereafter. The claims are no more viable today than they were then."

We broke the story ... Jamie is being sued by a woman who claims he got handsy with her at a swanky NYC rooftop restaurant back in August 2015, accusing him of groping her without consent.

In the suit, the woman claims she asked Jamie for a photo and told her, "Wow, you have that supermodel body" and "You smell so good." She says he pulled her by the arm to a back area and started running his hands all over her body, including on her vagina, breasts and anus.

Hall & Oates are on the outs over what songs John Oates is allowed to sing by himself ... sources familiar with the dispute tell TMZ.

As we reported, Daryl Hall got a restraining order against his longtime compadre last week, although the file has been sealed and no information is publicly available.

The 2 -- BTW, the most successful duo in music history -- have been in arbitration, we're told, trying to work out the ground rules of who can sing what as a solo artist, along with money issues of course ... so say our sources.

Hall ran to court on November 16, asking for a restraining order against Oates ... and the judge granted that order the next day.

It's no coincidence ... Oates had a slew of concerts scheduled for this month -- November 1, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 10. The November 9 and 10 concerts were postponed until next year, although no reason was given. This aligns with Hall going to court just days later for the restraining order.

Hall appeared on Bill Maher's "Club Random" podcast last year and made it clear ... something bad was going on in the group. Bill asked about his "partner" John Oates, and Hall fired back Oates was not his partner creatively ... they were just business partners.  Translation ... them's my songs, not his.

As for what songs are on the table, well, there are a lot, including, "Kiss On My List," "Rich Girl," "Maneater," "You Make My Dreams," "One on One," "Out of Touch," "You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling," and "Private Eyes."

11/24 8:54 AM PT -- Teyana's lawyer Tanya Mitchell Graham released a statement regarding the divorce saying, "Ms. Taylor has tried to resolve this matter amicably and privately in order to protect all parties involved, particularly the parties’ minor children.

"Ms. Taylor requests that the parties’ privacy be respected such that the parties and their minor children are not negatively impacted, and the parties’ divorce can be finalized."

11/23 10:34 AM PT -- Iman's lawyer, Stephen C. Steele tells TMZ, "Mr. Shumpert hopes parties and counsel can work toward a fair resolution, keeping the best interests of the children of paramount concern."

Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert are getting divorced ... she secretly moved to end their marriage nearly a year ago and claims he's been a jealous narcissist during their 7-year marriage.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Teyana filed to divorce the former NBA star way back in January ... more than 8 months before they announced a separation.

In the docs, Teyana details the demise of their marriage ... accusing Iman of being jealous about her fame and feeling insecure about being good enough for her, despite the fact he was earning way more playing basketball than she could ever dream of making in music.

Teyana claims Iman would grow annoyed when they would attend public events together, and photogs would ask for him to step out of frame.

She says when Iman signed a $40 million contract with the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers in 2015, the same year he was also paid $8 million by the New York Knicks, he remained aggravated by her notoriety, jealous of her acting career and insecure about being her man.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Teyana wanted to keep this private as long as possible, initially choosing to file with their initials. However, Iman's recent filing in the divorce proceedings included full names, thus thrusting everything into the spotlight.

Teyana claims that's when Iman started sending her negative text messages with condescending and manipulative language in response to her being in the spotlight. She claims he would pick fights with her for no reason, even on her birthday, and then apologize.

In the docs, which Teyana filed in Georgia, she says she now feels Iman was "treating her cruelly and displaying extreme narcissistic behavior throughout the majority of their marriage."

She says she "began to intentionally dim her light for her husband to try to have a harmonious and peaceful marriage" as Iman "became more and more angry" about her stardom.

What's more, Teyana says she turned down recording opportunities and acting gigs because Iman "did not want her to work." But she says when she stopped working after giving birth to one of their kids, Iman complained about her not making money.

Teyana says she fought to keep their family together despite Iman "being extremely emotionally and mentally abusive towards her." She says she used her connections to get Iman gigs in Hollywood as his NBA career wound down, but says he "unfortunately insisted on bickering" to the point where in 2021 she began the divorce process.

She says they reconciled but it was short-lived because Iman "remained in an insecure state as his NBA career continued to wind down."

In the docs, Teyana says in 2022 she found herself being manipulated and controlled by Iman and filed for divorce ... only to ask her legal team to withdraw the filing one day later.

Teyana says she finally pulled the trigger in January because she was "unable to handle the emotional rollercoaster."

She claims Iman has been involved in multiple cheating scandals during their marriage and cites his DUI arrest and recalls the time in 2022 when he was arrested for weed possession in an airport. Teyana also alleges Iman once crashed her Rolls Royce and fled the scene to avoid a second DUI arrest.

Teyana says she tried to stay with Iman through thick and thin but says he "reacted with further cruel treatment and selfishness." After she secretly filed for divorce, she says Iman insisted on them getting back together only to be lackadaisical and inconsistent and become involved in another cheating scandal, which she says was embarrassing and humiliating.

As we reported ... Teyana announced their separation in September and said, "To be 1000% clear, 'infidelity' ain’t one of the reasons for our departure." Now, she says was just being graceful towards him.

Teyana says Iman left their family home in October and hasn't spent significant time with their 2 children since then. She's asking for temporary and permanent primary physical custody, plus joint legal custody and child support.

TMZ broke the story ... Teyana and Iman got hitched back in 2016, tying the knot while wearing biker jackets.

Now, she says their marriage is "irretrievably broken" ... which seems painfully obvious based on the litany of issues between them -- at least in her eyes.

We reached out to Iman's camp and a rep for Teyana ... so far no word back.

Police in Brazil have reportedly opened a probe into the organizers of last Friday’s oppressively hot Taylor Swift concert that left one fan dead and the pop star gasping for air.

A rep for Rio de Janeiro’s Civil Police Department said they launched an investigation into Time4Fun, the company that arranged the event at Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos on November 17, according to NBC News.

Investigators from the consumer delegations department are specifically looking into whether Time4Fun committed the “crime of endangering the life and health” of the show’s attendees, the spokesperson said. The rep added that company execs will also be called to testify.

As you know, Ana Clara Benevides Machado fell unconscious before Taylor hit the stage during the record-breaking heat that night.

Ana later passed away at a hospital, and prosecutors announced they would investigate her cause of death, which has not been disclosed.

As for Taylor, she was filmed seemingly struggling to breathe onstage during her performance. Fans took to social media and expressed their concern for her well-being.

They also demanded Time4Fun supply more water to fans at Taylor’s next 2 shows in Rio, although one was subsequently postponed due to the heat.

On Thursday, company execs issued a statement, apologizing to concertgoers and admitting they had made mistakes, saying they “did not economize in our efforts or resources to follow the best global practices in our industry to guarantee the comfort and safety of all.”

Adele is engaging in matrimonial shenanigans ... flashing an ENORMOUS rock Wednesday night at the Lakers/Mavericks game.

Adele and Rich Paul were sitting courtside, of course, at L.A.'s Crypto.com Arena, as she clearly leaned into rumors she and Rich are already hitched.

There have been rumors for sure ... as you probably know she's been referring to herself as RP's wife during her residency in Vegas. Once she said she wasn't "the greatest wife when it comes to football."

And just this week there were folks at the Alan Carr comedy show in L.A. who say Adele was there and confirmed the rumored nuptials.

We haven't been able to confirm, but the rock is pretty solid evidence, don't you think?

As you know ... Adele bought a massive estate from Sylvester Stallone for $58 mil and she and Rich have gutted it, so it seems they're putting down stakes.

America's most famous prisoners are chowing down on turkey and gravy this Thanksgiving ... but Tory Lanez, Todd and Julie Chrisley are about to find out what R. Kelly already knows ... the bird is better at home.

In addition to all the traditional food, prisons are offering several activities on Thanksgiving Day.

Últimamente hemos visto muchas locuras en los aviones —peleas, amenazas de orinar y posesión demoníaca—, así que es muy refrescante ver a Brenda Lee cantando su éxito navideño y llevando un poco de alegría a los cielos.

La cantante de 78 años, fue la estrella de su vuelo cuando se subió al intercomunicador de cabina para cantar "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", su canción más famosa y una de las más queridas de la época navideña de todos los tiempos, con diciembre a la vuelta de la esquina.

Sin duda, los demás pasajeros disfrutaron de la actuación y, sinceramente, fue muy simpática.

Ahora, en marcado contraste con eso, ha habido otros episodios que han estado haciendo noticia últimamente - incluyendo una mujer llorando y luchando para volver a su asiento ... así como otro alboroto donde una mujer amenazó con hacer pis allí mismo en el pasillo.

En ambos momentos... se podría decir que hubo una gran falta de alegría navideña.

Afortunadamente, para la gente en este avión en particular, tenían a Brenda allí para ayudar a hacer el vuelo agradable y libre de pesadillas.

Chaka Zulu won't be charged for the fatal shooting in June 2022 that left one man dead outside an Atlanta restaurant -- prosecutors are dropping the case after Chaka insisted he fired in self-defense.

On Wednesday, Fulton County prosecutors released a statement to WSB-TV outlining their decision not to indict Chaka, who is Ludacris' manager, over the incident.

"The Atlanta Police Department made an arrest on charges determined at a standard of probable cause, which is their duty in this and all cases The District Attorney’s office investigates cases to determine what can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt at trial ... Our investigation of the facts and analysis of applicable law indicates that this is an appropriate resolution of this case based on the standard of proof required. Because the defendant is now involved in a pre-indictment diversion program, we will not comment further about the matter at this time.”

TMZ Hip Hop broke the story ... surveillance video we obtained showed Chaka and a group of several men, including the slain Artez Benton get into a skirmish outside Chaka's Apt4B restaurant and not too long after, fists were thrown and shots were fired.

Chaka's lawyer Gabe Banks also sent a statement to the local pub ... thanking D.A. Fani Will and her team for their thorough investigation and saying the music industry vet would be focusing on the "nurturing of his family" while also expressing sadness for the loss of life.

We've seen a lot of downright insanity on airplanes lately -- with fights, threats of urination and demonic possession -- so it's super refreshing to see Brenda Lee singing her hit holiday song and bringing some joy to the skies.

The 78-year-old singer was recently the star of her flight when she hopped on the cabin intercom to sing 'Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree' -- her most famous song, and one of the most beloved Christmas-time tracks of all time, with December right around the corner.

The other passengers certainly enjoyed the performance ... and honestly, it was super cute.

Now, in stark contrast to that are other in-flight episodes that have been making news lately -- including one woman wailing and fighting to get back to her seat ... as well as another brouhaha where a woman threatened to take a leak right there in the aisle.

In both of those ugly moments ... you could say there was a major lack of holiday cheer.

Fortunately for the folks on this particular plane, they had Brenda there to help make the flight delightful and nightmare-free.

Lil Eazy-E thinks his father, Eazy-E's street sign in Compton probably should've come a little bit sooner ... but the day is finally here and everybody's celebratin'!!!

TMZ Hip Hop chopped it up with Lil Eazy on Wednesday as "Eazy Street" became the newest official order in Hub City. LE revealed he's got big plans for the estate in the future ... including some collab with AI.

The AI idea is just one of the visions Eazy says he's floating to honor his famous father's legacy ... AI tools could prove useful in completing some of the unreleased tracks.

Big Eazy died in 1995 but many of his friends and family were still around to support the street sign ... Alonzo Williams the DJ/club owner who helped launch everyone's career, several of his children -- even his mother pulled up to see her son's tribute.

Also present was original N.W.A. member DJ Yella but the other surviving members Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and MC Ren were noticeably absent but Lil Eazy says he's not surprised.

Lil Eazy says Yella was the only one who showed up to the "Boyz-N-The-Hood" rapper's funeral back in the day so he doesn't expect much change-up ... but does say they need to pay a visit to Momma Eazy for holding them down during the early days.

Axl Rose está negando una demanda de agresión sexual que una mujer acaba de levantar contra él en la corte, diciendo que es ficción completa y nunca ha oído ni pío sobre el incidente hasta ahora.

El abogado del rockero, Alan Gutman de Gutman Law, le dice a TMZ: "En pocas palabras, este incidente nunca sucedió. En particular, estas reclamaciones ficticias se presentaron el día antes de que expire el plazo de presentación del Estado de Nueva York".

Gutman continúa: "Aunque no niega la posibilidad de una foto de fans tomada al pasar, el Sr. Rose no tiene ningún recuerdo de haber conocido o hablado con el demandante y nunca ha oído hablar de estas alegaciones de nuevo ficticias antes de hoy".

Finalmente, termina con esto: "El Sr. Rose confía en que este caso se resolverá a su favor".

En otras palabras, Axl está descartando las acusaciones de Sheila Kennedy como totalmente inventadas, y lo más importante, está sugiriendo que esto solo se está presentando en este momento para poder sacar provecho de una ventana clave en relación con el estatuto de limitaciones relativas a las presuntas víctimas de abuso sexual en Nueva York.

TMZ lo dijo primero, Kennedy detalló un presunto incidente que ella afirma que pasó en 1989, cuando ella dice que estaba de fiesta con Axl, quien ella afirma se volvió violento cuando Axl supuestamente la ató y la penetró sexualmente analmente sin su consentimiento.

Axl Rose is denying a claim of sexual assault that a woman just levied against him in court -- saying it's complete fiction ... and he's never heard a peep about the incident until now.

The rocker's attorney, Alan Gutman of Gutman Law, tells TMZ ... "Simply put, this incident never happened. Notably, these fictional claims were filed the day before the New York State filing deadline expires."

Gutman continues ... "Though he doesn’t deny the possibility of a fan photo taken in passing, Mr. Rose has no recollection of ever meeting or speaking to the Plaintiff, and has never heard about these again fictional allegations prior to today."

Finally, he finishes with this ... "Mr. Rose is confident this case will be resolved in his favor."

In other words, Axl's writing off Sheila Kennedy's allegations as totally made up -- and more importantly, he's suggesting this is only being filed right now to be able to capitalize on a key window regarding the statute of limitations pertaining to alleged sex abuse victims in NY.

TMZ broke the story ... Kennedy detailed an alleged incident she claims went down in 1989, when she says she was partying with Axl ... which she claims turned violent when AR allegedly tied her up and sexually penetrated her anally without her consent.

Ne-Yo is no stranger to giving back and this holiday season he's undeniably in his element ... helping out some of the community's most vulnerable citizens.

Ne-Yo was serving food to roughly 150 to 200 people Wednesday at City of Refuge Atlanta ... helping those who came for a Thanksgiving meal and a glimpse of the superstar singer in the flesh.

City of Refuge Atlanta provides shelter to the homeless, victims of sex trafficking, even single mothers with kids getting back on their feet, and provides gym amenities in addition to other wellness programs and employment services.

We're told Ne-Yo also donated a bunch of desserts to sweeten the pot for Thanksgiving -- and 4 of his children helped pass them out.
