The San Francisco drunk woman who starred in an infamous viral bar fight video is catching a break in her legal case, TMZ has learned.

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.

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.

As for the United States' immigration enforcement agents ... Larsson says she's got no love for them -- in fact, she "f***ing hates" ICE.

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.

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.
