Beyoncé's dance captain is apologizing for ripping Virgin Voyages for an alleged incident on the cruise line ... she's walking back her claims, and it sounds like she spouted off before getting her facts straight.

Here's the deal ... Ashley Everett -- who dances alongside Beyoncé in the "Single Ladies" music video -- went on social media this week and blasted Virgin Voyages for allegedly kicking her off a stage while she was performing the Beyoncé hit.

Ashley claimed race was involved, but she's since changed her tune ... deleting posts where she made the claims and apologizing to Virgin for what she says was all a big misunderstanding.

"Storage Wars" star Brandi Passante is honoring Darrell Sheets after his shocking suicide ... saying she's at a "loss for words" in an emotional Instagram post.

She pleaded, in part, "I would like to say to everyone, if you are struggling, if you feel hopeless or like no one cares. I assure you they do!! You are not alone. Please reach out for help." Brandi's emotional message was paired with a selfie with Darrell as well as BTS images of them together.

Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson's fans think the two need to try again as a real-life couple ... and Holmes seemingly agrees -- smashing the like button on comments advocating for the two to spark up a romance again.

Joe Exotic is back in lockdown and this time it's over social media posts ... TMZ has learned.

The "Tiger King" star's attorney, Peter Ticktin, tells TMZ ... Joe has been placed in the Special Housing Unit at his federal prison in Texas since last week. According to Ticktin, Joe was disciplined after social media posts were shared online on his behalf ... though it's unclear if one specific message triggered the move or if it was a buildup.

As Ticktin puts it ... "The prison decided not to like his posts."

Joe is currently being held in isolation, and while his legal team hopes he'll be released within 15 days, there are no guarantees, and inmates aren't always told when they're getting out. Ticktin says he hasn't been able to speak with Joe since he was moved to SHU.

D4vd's TikTok page features a few posts on April 23 and in the following days ... and they're all focused solely on the release of his debut studio album, "Withered."

6:00 AM PT -- We asked Nomiki Konst about the photos and the details of her claim ... she now says, "Over the course of 2 years, I attended over 10 Democratic organizing meetings. I'm not a whistleblower or a Swalwell survivor -- but was simply sharing an anecdote of an event that occurred at one of these many meetings. The event was in a public space with witnesses. After reviewing documents, the event occurred at a DNC meeting in 2017. The point has always been about his recklessness and demanding democratic leadership have better modes of accountability."

The woman who claims Eric Swalwell made her "uncomfortable" at a Democratic National Convention event appears to have her facts mixed up, because we obtained photos showing Swalwell wasn't there. She stands by her story but admits she mixed up the dates.

Here's the deal ... Nomiki Konst last week alleged she and Swalwell had an interaction at a 2018 DNC gathering in Chicago, which ran from August 23 through August 25, that made her "uncomfortable."

Christina Applegate gave her fans a fright last week when it was revealed she'd been in the hospital.
