Social Media

Melissa Gilbert has deleted her Instagram account as her husband -- actor and director Timothy Busfield -- faces serious child sex abuse allegations.

Gilbert's Instagram page is no longer accessible as of Sunday. Users attempting to view her account now see a message stating the profile is unavailable or has been removed.

The sudden social media wipeout comes just days after the Albuquerque Police Department issued an arrest warrant accusing Busfield of unlawful sexual conduct involving two minors.

Nicola Peltz is starting 2026 with a clean slate and a not so subtle message.

The actress quietly wiped all traces of the Beckham family from her Instagram, deleting multiple posts that included her husband Brooklyn Beckham's estranged relatives, including a once-loving birthday tribute to Victoria Beckham.

Back in 2024, when Victoria turned 50, Nicola posted a cozy photo of the two with a glowing caption ... "Happy birthday to my beautiful mil Victoria Beckham. I love you so much and love being your dance partner forever." Victoria even responded in the comments with plenty of love and kisses.

Social media star Desmond Scott is apologizing to his estranged wife Kristy after her divorce filing ... though he's not addressing her infidelity allegations head on.

The influencer posted about the filing Saturday ... kicking off the message on his Instagram story by saying sorry to his estranged wife, his family and anyone else who may have been impacted about the public attention surrounding the situation.

Desmond explains he and Kristy faced challenges last year ... and, late in 2025, he told Kristy he wanted to separate.

Ronnie Radke is taking his first steps toward figuring out who is allegedly impersonating him online ... filing a lawsuit in an effort to subpoena Snapchat.

The singer and rapper filed a suit against multiple John Does earlier this week ... alleging that, since at least April of last year, an individual he calls John Doe 1 has credibly impersonated him on Snapchat for "purposes of harming, intimidating, threatening and/or defrauding" others.

He's also suing John Doe 2 -- who may or may not be the same person as John Doe 1 -- for allegedly impersonating him on Instagram with the same aim to defraud others.

Zara Larsson's drawing a line in the sand ... telling fans she loves a lot of controversial people and activities -- but definitely not ICE.

The "Lush Life" hitmaker shared a list of her likes and dislikes on Instagram Saturday morning ... telling fans she loves immigrants, queer and transgender people, promiscuous women, contraception, welfare, socialism -- and even criminals.

As for the United States' immigration enforcement agents ... Larsson says she's got no love for them -- in fact, she "f***ing hates" ICE. Her statement, of course, comes as people have gathered to protest ICE's controversial shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a member of the agency in Minnesota earlier this week.

Melissa Gilbert denounced child sex abuse weeks before her husband, Timothy Busfield, was charged in a criminal complaint accusing him of criminal sexual contact with a minor and child abuse.

Gilbert's condemnation of such activities came via a Nov. 15 Instagram post in which she reflected on a troubling fact about her days on "Little House on the Prairie."

She noted that her character was scripted to fall in love with a years-older love interest, played by Dean Butler, and she said she now knows how inappropriate it was. The pair had an 8-year age gap.

Another social media love story has officially crashed and burned ... The Scotts are done, with Kristy filing for divorce from estranged husband Desmond Scott.

TMZ obtained the court docs out of Harris County, Texas, in which Kristy cited alleged infidelity as the reason she sought the split ... saying it completely wiped out any reasonable chance of reconciliation.

The paperwork says the couple will soon stop living together as husband and wife.

Lizzo’s all about cutting off bad vibes ... and she's throwing her hair into the mix too, 'cause the singer hit reset and said goodbye to her long locks with a fresh new chop.

The singer debuted the look on TikTok Friday, first flexing her natural hair before shaking things up with a slick transition to a short, honey-blonde bob -- and honestly? It’s straight fire!

Lizzo looked flawless, with her makeup fully dialed in to match the glow-up ... and she made sure to keep the flex going by showing it all off in a series of IG snaps.

bbno$ -- pronounced “Baby No Money” -- announced he would retire from music in late 2025 due to online negativity … but after a brief break, he’s already back with a brand-new single, despite the backlash.

ICYMI … back in December, bbno$ -- born Alexander Leon Gumuchian -- posted a TikTok telling fans if the video hit 1 million likes, he’d quit making music. Not only did it reach the goal, it more than doubled the target … seemingly forcing him into “retirement.”

The moment sparked conversation across social media as fans speculated whether the move was serious or simply part of an ongoing online moment ... but according to Alex, this was not all part of his initial plan.

Offset's allegedly making threats toward an influencer and refusing to pay her back thousands of dollars he borrowed ... this according to the influencer herself.

Celina Powell -- a model and internet personality best known for her associations with people in hip hop -- made the claims online Friday ... starting off by telling fans they should look to Offset if anything bad happens to her.

She then followed it up by writing online she's tired of fearing Offset just because she's tried for weeks to recoup $15K she says she gave him and he gambled away ... claiming he's lobbing threats her way.

Ashley Tisdale looks super serious about bailing on a "toxic mom group" ... because she was just spotted in public for the first time since the drama started unfolding ... and she's on a solo mission.

Check out this photo of Ashley running errands in Malibu ... no moms, friends, or kids in sight!!!

As you know, Ashley spilled some serious tea last week when a piece she wrote about a falling out with her mom group landed in The Cut on New Year's Day ... which led online sleuths to speculate she was referring to Meghan Trainor, Hilary Duff, and Mandy Moore.

1:44 PM PT -- Ronnie Radke has responded to Nev's take on the debacle ... and as you can imagine, Ronnie went scorched earth on Nev.

Nev Schulman says he hasn't launched into any kind of formal investigation ... but he's inclined to believe Brittany Furlan over Ronnie Radke when it comes to all this catfishing drama.

The former "Catfish" host sat down for a conversation on "The TMZ Podcast" with Charlie Neff and Charlie Cotton ... and they asked him what his take on all the drama is.

Remember ... Brittany claims she and her husband, Tommy Lee, nearly split because she was talking to Ronnie online -- but Ronnie insists Brittany was being catfished. He's since filed a restraining order against her.

Meghan Trainor's husband Daryl Sabara is denying there's any drama between his wife and Ashley Tisdale ... claiming there's no beef from his side and wishing the actress all the best.

We caught up with the former child star while he was leaving Alan Cumming's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony Thursday afternoon ... and, we had to ask about Tisdale's recent essay that called out toxic members of a mom group she once belonged to.

Online sleuths have alleged Trainor, Hilary Duff and Mandy Moore were all part of this group ... though Tisdale's rep denied it to us -- and, Daryl's comments seem to back up the claim.
