Brandi Mallory murió de complicaciones debido a la obesidad, esto de acuerdo a su informe oficial de la autopsia.

TMZ obtuvo el documento del médico forense del condado de Fulton, y no arroja demasiados detalles sobre lo que fue lo que sucedió exactamente para causar la muerte de la estrella "Extreme Weight Loss". El hecho fue muy repentino y se cita su peso como el factor principal.

El papeleo dice que no había señales de una lesión reciente y no había razón para sospechar de juego sucio tampoco. El informe señala que había rastros de marihuana y alcohol en su sistema, pero el forense dice que no tuvieron implicancia en su muerte.

Esto es lo que dicen en la autopsia: "Es mi opinión que Brandi E. Mallory murió de complicaciones relacionadas con la obesidad, la cual se consideró una condición significativa respecto a su muerte". También enumera su muerte como natural cuando se trata de la forma.

TMZ publicó la historia, Mallory fue encontrado muerto en un estacionamiento del centro comercial de Atlanta después de una carrera de comida rápida de la noche anterior. Ella entró en el establecimiento, salió con su comida, y luego entró a su vehículo, pero nunca volvió a salir después de eso.

Un transeúnte preocupado llamó al 911 y dijo que sospechaba que había un cuerpo en el carro, ya que se dio cuenta de que no se había movido durante mucho tiempo.

Mallory concursó en la cuarta temporada de la serie de ABC allá por 2014 y participó en el programa hasta 2018.

Brandi Mallory died from complications due to obesity -- this according to her official autopsy report.

TMZ obtained the document from the Fulton County Medical Examiner, citing the "Extreme Weight Loss" star's weight, an enlarged heart, and some elevated blood indicators suggestive of prediabetes all as factors in her overall health.

The paperwork says there was no sign of a recent injury and there was no reason to suspect foul play either. The report does note there were trace amounts of marijuana and alcohol in her system ... but the coroner says neither played a role in her death.

Here's how they put it in the autopsy ... "It is my opinion that Brandi E. Mallory died of complications of obesity was considered a significant condition contributing to the death." It also lists her death as natural when it comes to the manner.

TMZ broke the story ... Mallory was found dead in an Atlanta strip mall parking lot after being seen entering her car the night before. A concerned bystander called 911 and said he suspected there was a body in the car, as he noticed it hadn't moved for a long time.

Mallory competed on Season 4 of the ABC series back in 2014, and had been involved with the program as recently as 2018.

She was only 40.

Jessey Lee's ex-wife claims he's abused her and their kids, and now she's trying to get court ordered protection, but Jessey's denying it ... and claims she's lost all parental rights.

Crystal Hoang Lee -- who was once married to Jessey and has 2 children with him -- ran to court in L.A. this week to file for a temporary restraining order ... and her docs, obtained by TMZ, include shocking allegations of violence.

In the TRO request, Crystal claims Jessey's most recent date of alleged abuse against her was on Nov. 25 of this year ... and she claims he hit one of their children when they wouldn't go to sleep. She also alleges he caused her to have a miscarriage, but the docs don't include any further detail.

If you read through the docs ... she lists several other allegations of abuse from previous years -- ranging from hitting the kids, to hitting her, leaving the family to go gamble, uprooting the children and placing them in different schools.

Still, it appears the court wants to hear more details -- for now, a judge has denied Crystal's request for the TRO, and scheduled a hearing in 2 weeks, when she'll have a chance to lay out all her alleged details.

Jesse's rep tells us, "Mr. Lee has no knowledge of this restraining order. He actually was granted a restraining order against Ms. Hoang on Nov 21st. He has been awarded full exclusive custody of the children and they currently live with him. Ms. Hoang has no access or parental rights. There is absolutely no truth to any of these allegations."

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are falling deeper into the debt hole -- she just got hit with a new credit card lawsuit ... meanwhile, a different judge just ordered him to pay 5 figures.

The embattled couple had some new legal docs come their way Tuesday -- in Kim's case, she's now being sued by Chase Bank over a balance they claim is way past due ... they're suing her for $4,624.02

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Chase attached a bunch of statements from her account to demonstrate she's been behind on payments dating back to Nov. 2022.

The balance, they allege, has only ballooned ... and now, they say they want their dough. Remember, Kroy also got sued by Chase Bank over another credit card account he had with them ... and in that instance, they alleged he owed quite a bit more -- about $13,000.

Speaking of KB, he got hit with a judgment in a completely separate case -- although, it pertains to the same sort of allegations. Discover is suing him over a balance it says he owed, which had grown to $11,275.45 ... and was past due.

Per new legal docs, Kroy never officially filed a response in that suit -- and now, a judge has signed off on a default judgment saying he's gotta fork over that full amount ... plus $111 of court costs.

As we've reported ... Kim and Kroy have been facing a lot of these types of lawsuits lately -- and it's all part of the mosaic of their financial woes ... which go well beyond the credit cards.

Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann se están hundiendo cada vez más en el agujero de las deudas. Ella acaba de recibir un nuevo embate, con una demanda por atrasos en su tarjeta de crédito, mientras que otro juez acaba de ordenarle a Roy que pague 5 cifras.

La asediada pareja se encontró con nuevos documentos legales el martes. En el caso de Kim, ahora está siendo demandada por Chase Bank por un sobre saldo que está muy atrasado y que asciende a los $4,624.02, según están demandando.

En los documentos obtenidos por TMZ, Chase adjunta un montón de declaraciones de su cuenta para demostrar que los retrasos en los pagos se remontan a noviembre de 2022.

Alegan que el saldo solo se ha disparado y que quieren su dinero de vuelta. Recuerden, Kroy también fue demandado por Chase Bank por otra tarjeta de crédito que tenía con ellos. En ese caso, alegan que debía un poco más de $13,000.

Hablando de Kroy, también fue aporreado con una sentencia en un caso completamente separado, aunque se refiere al mismo tipo de reclamos. Discover lo está demandando por un saldo adeudado que habría crecido a $11,275.45 y está atrasado.

Por nuevos documentos legales, Kroy nunca presentó oficialmente una respuesta a esa demanda y ahora un juez ha firmado una sentencia diciendo que él es tenedor de esa cantidad total, más unos $111 por los costos judiciales.

Como hemos informado, Kim y Kroy se han enfrentado a una gran cantidad de demandas de este tipo últimamente, y todo es parte del mosaico de sus problemas financieros, el que va mucho más allá de sus tarjetas de crédito.

Kyle Richards and estranged husband Mauricio Umansky's relationship is "good enough for The Grove" -- at least that's what the 'RHOBH' star tells us.

The duo have had a famously tumultuous few months after announcing their separation in July, but Kyle tells TMZ they're "getting along" after they were spotted together on a family outing at the L.A shopping center over the weekend.

Speaking outside Beverly Glen Deli Monday, Kyle also confirmed that she was spending Xmas this year with Mauricio and their kids.

However, she says this is no fast track to amending their relationship ... saying they're "just taking everything a day at a time."

This comes after the embattled pair played happy family as they posed alongside their daughters Alexia, Sophia, and Farrah Aldjufrie for a snap from the weekend.

K&M have had a dramatic few weeks with Kyle blasting the real estate boss for how he's carried himself with his "DWTS" costar Emma Slater -- and also referring to their split as a "divorce."

La relación entre Kyle Richards y su marido Mauricio Umansky es "lo suficientemente buena para The Grove", o al menos eso es lo que nos dice la estrella de "RHOBH".

El dúo ha tenido unos meses tumultuosos después de anunciar su separación en julio, pero Kyle le dice a TMZ que están "llevándose bien" después de que fueron vistos juntos en una excursión familiar en un centro comercial de Los Ángeles el fin de semana.

Hablando fuera de Beverly Glen Deli el lunes, Kyle también confirmó que iba a pasar la Navidad este año con Mauricio y sus hijos.

Sin embargo, ella dice que esto no es una vía rápida para enmendar su relación, diciendo que "se están tomando las cosas un día a la vez".

Esto viene después de la pareja jugara a familia feliz, ya que posaron junto a sus hijas Alexia, Sophia, y Farrah Aldjufrie el fin de semana.

K & M han tenido unas semanas dramáticas con Kyle, criticando al jefe de bienes raíces por la forma en que se ha llevado con su coprotagonista de "DWTS" Emma Slater y también refiriéndose a su ruptura como un "divorcio".

Ariana Madix opened up her wallet big time to help out a friend of the 'Vanderpump Rules' family ... this after a major health scare that's threatening their life.

AM was among several 'VP' stars to draw attention to the GoFundMe page of Jesse Montana -- who's a pal of theirs and who's appeared on the reality show. He recently revealed he's been diagnosed with a brain tumor, and he's looking to raise funds for his hospital stay ... 'cause he's going into surgery on Monday.

Like we said ... a lot of the 'Vanderpump' cast members have donated, but Ariana has shelled out the most by far -- offering up a $9,000 donation to help Jesse.

In hopes that Jesse's unexpected health woes don't leave him with a financial burden, the GFM page has a goal to raise $100,000.

The cast began donating over the weekend ... and other 'VPR' contributions include Katie Maloney giving $3,000, Scheana Shay dropping $2,000, Tom Schwartz and Rachel Leviss chipped in $500.

'VPR' alums Brittany Cartwright and Kristen Doute donated $100 and the show's executive producer, Alex Baskin gave $250. The donations touched Jesse ... who said in his IG Stories ahead of surgery Monday that he'll "forever be shocked at how fast life can change."

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky seem to be kumbaya again -- 'cause they posed together for a family photo after what's been a pretty bumpy past few months.

The estranged couple -- who announced they'd separated earlier this year -- were side by side in a sweet snapshot shared by their daughter, Alexia ... who was also in the photo alongside her parents and her sister, Sophia, and her half-sister, Farrah Aldjufrie.

The whole family was out at The Grove shopping center in L.A. over the weekend ... and based on how cozy everyone looks, you could argue Kyle and Mauricio are on good terms.

That's certainly what it looks like, anyway ... but another photo Alexia posted just features the girls -- no dad in sight.

It's hard to glean what this may or not mean, to be frank -- we've seen Mauricio and Kyle get together as a family for quite a while now ... even after they "separated."

While they've been putting out a "happy family" image on social media ... things have been a little dramatic between Kyle and Mauricio behind the scenes, much of which has become public ... including the fact Mauricio has recently gotten very close to his 'DWTS' costar Emma Slater.

Kyle has said she doesn't appreciate how Mauricio has carried himself with Emma in public -- including hitting dinners and holding hands at times -- and KR even recently referred to their split as a "divorce."

Maybe they're putting their problems aside for the sake of family ... especially as we head into the holidays.

"Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro is closing up shop in Santa Monica ... shuttering his brick-and-mortar operation and pivoting to online orders only.

Buddy owned Carlo's Bake Shop on the famous Santa Monica Promenade, but it closed this week for good ... and there's a sign on the door announcing a public auction for all the store equipment.

Folks at Carlo's Bake Shop tell TMZ … the Santa Monica location decided not to renew the lease as it shifts towards an e-commerce business strategy.

We're told the bakery was doing more sales for online orders in recent years particularly in California, with fewer customers actually coming by the storefront, even for folks requesting deliveries nearby.

Buddy's not leaving the traditional bakery setup altogether though ... it sounds like this is limited to Santa Monica.

We're told there's a new Carlo's Bake Shop opening this December in New York City's Times Square ... which BV feels will attract locals and tourists. There's certainly a lot of foot traffic.

El "Cake Boss" Buddy Valastro está cerrando su tienda en Santa Mónica.

Buddy era dueño de Carlo's Bake Shop en el famoso paseo marítimo de Santa Mónica, pero cerró esta semana para siempre y hay un cartel en la puerta anunciando una subasta pública de todo el equipo de la tienda.

La gente de Carlo's Bake Shop le dice TMZ la ubicación de Santa Mónica decidió no renovar el contrato de arrendamiento ya que está cambiando hacia una estrategia de negocio de comercio electrónico.

Nos dicen que la panadería estuvo haciendo más ventas para los pedidos en línea los últimos años, especialmente en California. Hay menos clientes que realmente vienen a la tienda, incluso hay personas que solicitan entregas que viven cerca.

Buddy no está dejando la panadería tradicional por completo, aunque parece que esto se limita a Santa Mónica.

Nos han dicho que Carlo's Bake Shop abrirá en diciembre en Times Square, Nueva York, y cree quepodría atraer clientes locales y turistas. Ciertamente hay un montón de tráfico peatonal.

Farrah Abraham quiere que todos sepan que ella está en un mejor lugar en la vida que su archienemiga Jenelle Evans.

Le dice a TMZ que ha trabajado duro para convertirse en una gran madre soltera, pero no se puede decir lo mismo de su ex coestrella de "Teen Mom", que instó a un "control de bienestar" el cual se llevó a cabo en su casa a pesar de tener recientes encuentros con los Servicios de Protección Infantil.

Después de que Farrah publicara un montón de videos y fotos de su nuevo novio en un viaje de placer, el posteo se inundó de comentarios negativos, incluso hay gente pidiendo la intervensión de CPS (servicios de protección infantil). Jenelle claramente estuvo de acuerdo con la publicación y luego borró una historia de Facebook el martes diciendo que alguien debería hacerle un control de bienestar a la hija de Farrah porque parecía inestable.

Luego de enterarse de las preocupaciones de Jenelle en las historias de Insta, Farrah agrega que las llamadas de CPS la han devastado y quiere mantener el tema alejado de su familia y sus citas, especialmente ahora que aparece un nuevo hombre en la foto.

Básicamente, Farrah dice que la vida en casa con su hija de 14 años de edad,                               Sophia, es un sueño hecho realidad, a diferencia de Jenelle a quien acusa de invitar a "hombres abusivos a su vida".

Recordemos que TMZ informó hace poco más de una semana que el hijo de 14 años de Jenelle, Jace, fue hospitalizado después de huir de casa. Este era su cuarto intento, incluyendo la vez en septiembre el mismo día que el marido de Jenelle, David Eason, fue acusado de maltratarlo.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que los funcionarios de CPS están preocupados por Jace y si se escapa de nuevo, podría terminar en un centro de detención juvenil.

Farrah Abraham wants everyone to know she's in a better place in life than her archnemesis Jenelle Evans -- but is adamant she's not throwing shade... while throwing shade.

She tells TMZ she's worked hard to become a great single parent but says the same can't be said for her former "Teen Mom" costar ... who urged for a "welfare check" to be conducted at her home despite having recent encounters with Child Protective Services herself.

After Farrah posted a bunch of videos and photos of her new BF on a trip to Turks and Caicos her social media was flooded with negative comments, including people calling for CPS to get involved. Jenelle clearly agreed by posting and then deleting a Facebook story Tuesday saying that someone should do a welfare check on Farrah's daughter because she seemed unstable.

After hitting back at Jenelle's concerns on her IG Stories, Farrah adds the CPS calls have devastated her ... and she wants to keep it out of her family/dating dynamics -- especially with a brand-spankin' new man in the picture.

Basically, Farrah says life at home with her 14-year-old daughter Sophia is a dream ... unlike Jenelle -- whom she implies invites "abusive men into her life."

Remember ... TMZ reported a little over a week ago Jenelle's 14-year-old son Jace was hospitalized after running away from home -- his fourth attempt, including the time in September the same day Jenelle's husband, David Eason, was accused of roughing him up.

Our sources say CPS officials are concerned about Jace ... and if he runs away again, he could end up in a juvenile detention facility.

Daymond John ha predicho que el éxito de "Shark Tank" continuará mucho después de la salida de su coprotagonista Mark Cuban, a quien atribuye el mérito de mantener la serie a flote.

El fundador de FUBU no tiene reparos en la decisión de Mark de salir, diciendo que ya ha hecho lo suficiente por hacer lo que ningún otro multimillonario conocido hizo... creer en el espectáculo, mientras que estaba al borde de la cancelación de tres temporadas.

Daymond dice que la devoción de Mark era profunda, permaneciendo en el programa durante tantos años, con su entrada jugando un papel importante en hacer de él el fenómeno cultural que es hoy.

Lo que quiere decir es que si alguna vez has tenido sueños de lanzar su sueño en "Shark Tank", eso es todo Mark.

Claramente, Daymond ha forjado un fuerte vínculo con Mark los últimos años, diciéndonos que le desea lo mejor y añadiendo que el equipo quiere seguir con su duro trabajo para darle su asiento a la próxima generación de empresarios.

¿Quién podría hacerse con el codiciado asiento? El propio Mark ha respaldado a la socia de las Kardashian Emma Grede como su sustituta, elogiando su experiencia y carisma televisivo.

Daymond John has predicted the success of "Shark Tank" will continue long after the departure of his costar Mark Cuban ... whom he credits for keeping the series afloat.

The FUBU founder has no qualms over Mark's decision to leave ... saying he's already done enough by doing what no other well-known billionaire did ... believe in the show while it was on the brink of cancelation three seasons in.

Daymond says Mark's devotion ran deep ... staying on the show for so many years with his input playing a significant part in making it the cultural phenomenon it is today.

What he means is that if you've ever had dreams of pitching your pipe dream on "Shark Tank" -- that's all Mark.

Clearly, Daymond has forged a strong bond with Mark over the years ... telling us he wishes him well and adding the 'ST' team wants to pay his hard work forward by giving his seat to the next generation of entrepreneurs.

As for who could potentially snag the coveted seat? Mark himself has endorsed Kardashian biz partner Emma Grede as his replacement ... gushing over her experience and TV charisma.
