Tawnia McGeehan -- who allegedly killed her 11-year-old daughter Addi Smith in an apparent murder-suicide -- was plagued by "mean" texts from other parents on her daughter's cheerleading team, according to a new report.

According to The New York Post, Tawnia's mom, Connie, believes Tawnia had issues with some of the other moms on the team that had been boiling over.

Connie told The Post ... "There's one or two ladies that she never got along with, and it got really bad a month ago. In the last comp they had, another girl got dropped and some of the moms were saying it was because of Addi. They were texting [Tawnia] mean stuff and blaming Addi."

It was back to regularly scheduled programming for King Charles III after former Prince Andrew's Thursday arrest ... his Royal Highness was snapped at London Fashion Week.

Charles took in British-Nigerian designer Tolu Coker's show, sitting front row as models glided down the catwalk.

While he ignored questions about his brother at the event, Charles issued a statement earlier fully supporting the police.

King Charles III is weighing in on the arrest of his brother, formerly known as Prince Andrew, saying he fully supports the police investigation into Andrew's alleged wrongdoing in connection with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

As the world knows, Andrew was arrested Thursday by British cops at his home in England on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

The ex-royal has been under tremendous scrutiny due to his longtime association with Epstein, who died by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges in 2019.

King Charles has now issued a public statement, sharing that he's deeply concerned after learning of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest. 

Charles then said there will be a "full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities."

Sarah Kellen -- one of the women authorities believe was part of Jeffrey Epstein’s inner circle -- got a massage table and several Israeli artifacts as part of her divorce settlement, TMZ has learned.

Sarah and her ex-husband, NASCAR driver Brian Vickers, inked the deal back on December 18, 2025.

Per the agreement, Sarah got to keep five Israeli artifacts selected by her ex from among items including a sword, glass tear jar, small oil lamp, small vase, large jar, medium cup, large oil lamp and a metal arrow tip. She also got to keep half of a collection of Israeli coins.

Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper could be identified from DNA left at the crime scene in Arizona, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos.

Nanos sat down for a "TODAY" show interview Wednesday about the Guthrie case and, at one point, discussed the DNA found at Nancy's home in Tucson.

The sheriff said, "We believe we may have some DNA there that may be our suspect, but we won't know that until that DNA is separated, sorted out."

Sounds like another big swing and miss in the Nancy Guthrie investigation ... because the folks whose Arizona home was raided by a SWAT team say they have nothing to do with her abduction.

An Arizona man named Luke Daley was the subject of two search warrants issued and served Friday in relation to the Guthrie case ... according to his attorney, Chris Scileppi. For context, people online were accusing Luke of being a suspect

Luke's attorney tells TMZ Luke and his mother were both detained by law enforcement while the search warrants were being executed ... they were not arrested, Luke has no link whatsoever to Nancy, and he has no info related to her kidnapping.

Idaho State Police have released nearly 3,000 photos from the crime scene left behind by Bryan Kohberger when he stabbed 4 unsuspecting University of Idaho students to death at their home in the small town of Moscow ... and now we're getting a look at their bedrooms -- some splattered in blood, while others remained seemingly untouched.

You can see some bedroom photographs are right out of a nightmare -- blood stains are splattered across walls, sheets and clothing. These rooms belonged to the 4 students who lost their lives to Kohberger's knife in November 2022 -- Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle.

Other images show typical bedrooms belonging to college students -- maybe a bit messy, nothing out of the ordinary ... some clothing and school supplies strewn about, no blood in sight. Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke were the 2 survivors from that dreaded night ... completely untouched.

The FBI has reached out to authorities in Mexico, in the hunt for Nancy Guthrie and her kidnapper, TMZ has learned ... and TMZ has received a new ransom note.

Law enforcement sources involved in the investigation tell us ... the FBI has contacted Mexican federal law enforcement to spread the word to various police agencies. We're told so far there have been no solid leads.

Our sources say the FBI believes it's possible Nancy was taken across the border, but it's unlikely it happened directly after the kidnapping. Authorities have checked Border Patrol cameras and other electronic devices, and they came up dry. That said, our sources say it's possible Nancy could have been taken across the border at some other time. Of course, there are ways to evade authorities when crossing the border.

TMZ has obtained another ransom note -- this one a highly sophisticated demand involving a cryptocurrency other than bitcoin. The email demands a dollar amount similar to the $6 million ransom demand in the previous email we received, days after the kidnapping. This email graphically describes the consequences if the ransom isn't paid.

Alyssa Salerno has filed legal docs asking a Florida judge to formally establish her ex-fiancé Alex Kompothecras as the dad of their daughter, lock in a custody arrangement, and order child support ... TMZ has learned.

According to the petition, obtained by TMZ, Alyssa wants the court to establish Alex's legal parentage, award shared parental responsibility, and implement equal time-sharing. She's also asking for child support to be calculated under the Florida guidelines and made retroactive to the date of their split.

Alyssa is further requesting that health, dental and vision insurance be maintained for their daughter, with uncovered medical expenses divided proportionally. She also wants extracurricular activities and any private school costs shared.

The 4 University of Idaho students slaughtered by Bryan Kohberger left behind almost everything they owned inside their house ... and now we're seeing haunting images of their possessions -- seemingly undisturbed -- in the hours after they were slain.

Tuesday, Idaho State Police released more than 2,000 photos related to the murder case, showing the crime scene after investigators arrived at the house in Moscow, Idaho, where the 4 students were butchered by a knife-wielding Kohberger in September 2022. Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle were all found stabbed to death in bedrooms.

As part of the photo dump, investigators snapped pics of the victims' everyday stuff, such as ID, credit cards, clothes, books, silverware, shoes, backpacks, medications, hair products, picture frames, card holder and much more.

Quinton Aaron’s brother just got a restraining order against the woman who has called herself Quinton's "spiritual" wife … TMZ has learned.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ ... Quinton's brother, Jarred, filed to get a temporary restraining order against Margarita Aaron -- who's listed in the docs as Margaret DeLeon.

The petition was granted, and the order requires Margarita to stay away from Jarred or any immediate family ... which would presumably include Quinton.

More disturbing images have been released from the scene of Bryan Kohberger’s killing spree -- where four University of Idaho students were brutally murdered.

The nearly 3,000 newly released photos, taken from the November 2022 crime scene and provided by Idaho State Police, show more photos of the victims' Moscow home ... including blood dripping down walls and splattered on the floor.

The images offer another chilling look inside the off-campus home where Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, and Ethan Chapin were slaughtered in their sleep.

The FBI came up dry on its DNA test of the glove found 2 miles from Nancy Guthrie's home, but TMZ has learned the agency is now doing genealogy testing, which has become a powerful tool in catching criminals.

The DNA on the glove did not get a hit from CODIS -- the database that profiles nearly 27 million people convicted of various crimes -- but genealogy testing is far broader. They're also analyzing DNA evidence found at Nancy's house.

The big companies -- 23andMe and Ancestry.com -- do not cooperate with law enforcement for privacy reasons. But smaller companies work with law enforcement, so it's another avenue for the FBI to pursue.

10:47 AM PT --  The Sheriff just announced there is no DNA hit from CODIS.

The glove authorities found 2 miles from Nancy Guthrie's home has been DNA tested in Florida, but there's still another step before the DNA profile can be entered in the CODIS system ... sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ.

Under federal law, the FBI cannot use the CODIS system unless the item in question is tested in the state where it was found -- in this case, Arizona. Our sources say the glove has already been sent back to Arizona. As for why the Pima County Sheriff decided to send the glove to Florida in the first place, knowing the glove would have to be re-tested in Arizona ... our sources have no idea.

We're told the type of DNA testing -- a PCR test -- typically only takes a day to get results. Our sources say the process should go quickly, and there should be results from CODIS in the next 24 hours, and maybe sooner. There are almost 27 million DNA profiles in the CODIS system.

The Rhode Island Interscholastic League (RIIL) is suspending all games after Monday's tragic shooting during a boys' co-op hockey game in Pawtucket.

Michael Lunney, the organization's executive director, released a statement on Tuesday, stating they will temporarily postpone all games out of respect for those affected by the "senseless act of violence."

"Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected by this horrific event," Lunney said.

Now that Valentine’s Day is in the rearview, one major fashion brand is helping women file a motion for their hottest chapter yet -- single life -- and they're doing so with the help of celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser.

Laura -- who's orchestrated courtroom uncouplings for Kim Kardashian, Kevin Costner, Angelina Jolie and more -- has signed a legally binding deal of her own with Reformation, fronting a bold new line stamped with unapologetic slogans like "dump him."

The collection screams post-breakup glow-up ... think sleek, high-luxe fitted dresses paired with killer heels, oversized shades, statement jewels and flawless blowouts -- basically the uniform of a woman who’s thriving solo and knows it.
