Gypsy Rose appears to be making light of her mom's killing in a new TikTok ... but not everybody is laughing.

Watch the video ... while doing the "We listen, and we don't judge" trend with influencer Natalie Reynolds, Gypsy recounted how she went to prison for 8 and a half years for second-degree murder in relation to her mom's killing.

When Natalie feigns surprise, Gypsy says matter-of-factly, "Hey, we listen, and we don't judge." But here's the thing ... a lot of people are judging. Just look at the comments!

Call her the Wolf of Wall Street, because Taylor Frankie Paul is not f**king leaving! Some people online have suggested the embattled reality star stay off socials during her abuse scandal ... but the way Taylor sees it -- this is her job, and she's always on the clock.

Despite her legal woes stemming from domestic violence accusations being brought against her -- including video proof -- and ABC canning her "The Bachelorette" season, TFP has remained active online, reposting videos that support her and even using her platform to uplift fellow reality show villain Nick Viall.

Just take a look at her online activity -- in response to one TikTok user announcing a "Taylor Frankie Paul Get Off Your Phone Challenge," TFP commented, "Want me to stare at the wall instead?"

The doctor who performed surgery on mom influencer Rachel Tussey is speaking out to deny that his work played any role in her health issues.

Dr. Tork tells TMZ, “I am heartbroken for Rachel Tussey and her family. My thoughts remain with her loved ones during this devastating time. Like them, I am struggling to understand how this could have occurred.”

Tork added, “Rachel’s surgery was completed successfully and without complications. When I last saw her in the recovery room as she prepared for her planned overnight stay, she was awake and in excellent condition with her husband by her side. Out of respect for Rachel and her family, and due to patient privacy laws, I will not comment further.”

The folks who authorities say supplied TikTok star Cooper Noriega with the illicit drugs that ended up with his fatal overdose cut plea deals after being criminally charged in connection with his death ... and the feds want them to spend many years behind bars.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Erick Estrada, the California man prosecutors allege supplied the fentanyl-laced oxycodone that killed Cooper, pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances resulting in death and one count of distribution of fentanyl resulting in death.

Prosecutors are asking the judge to sentence Estrada to 30 years in prison plus 5 years of supervised release ... saying he "operated in essence a DoorDash for drugs," which killed Cooper and another person.

TikToker Riziki Ilenre's death has been ruled as a suicide, TMZ has learned.

The Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences has determined the 27-year-old died by hanging herself from a ceiling fan ... and was found during a welfare check.

TMZ previously confirmed with the Montgomery Police Department ... they were investigating her Dec. 12, 2025 death.

Rapper Luci4 -- best known for his viral hit "BodyPartz" -- has died at 23.

The L.A. County Medical Examiner confirms Luci4 -- born James Dear -- passed away, though his cause of death is still unknown. His grandparents tell TMZ he died February 22, sometime at a friend’s house in Los Angeles.

They say they don’t know what happened yet -- but they’re suspicious. According to them, his wallet was completely emptied, and they had recently warned him about the people he’d been spending time with as his fame started taking off.

Anna Duggar shared a rare video of herself Thursday, marking a return to social media 4 years after her husband, Josh Duggar, was sentenced for possessing child porn.

The "19 Kids and Counting" alum hopped onto TikTok Wednesday to promote her dog adoption business ... and showed off her new hairdo in the process.

Television is going the way of the dodo, a popular influencer says ... because streaming is on the way to usurp the old mass media technology.

We caught up with Yonna Jay -- a TikToker with nearly 4 million followers on the platform -- at an event in Hollywood earlier this week ... and, we asked her what she sees in the future of streaming.

YJ says people are all obsessed with seeing what everyone else is doing 24/7 ... so, she imagines a world where TV is totally replaced by the new medium.

TikTok users have been complaining of not being able to upload content about ICE ... and thousands of people have left the platform as a result.

FYI ... a mostly American-owned joint venture took over TikTok's U.S. assets last week, with “decision-making authority for trust and safety policies and content moderation.”

Misinformation about changes to TikTok's new terms of service spread shortly after the transfer from China-based company ByteDance ... and users started being prevented from uploading content about Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The apparent blackout has become a hot topic ... and Democratic Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy called suppression of anti-Trump and anti-ICE content a threat to democracy.

TikTok denies intentional censorship. TikTok told TMZ a power outage at a U.S.-based data center caused a service disruption, and said that's continuing to impact American users. The company says issues are "unrelated to last week’s news."

TikTok of course could censor anti-ICE content, operating as a private company.

We’re living in the era where one little clip can flip your entire life ... and Daymond John came through TMZ to break down how viral fame really hits, especially after that now-famous Dr. Pepper jingle lady.

Catch "TMZ Live" Thursday... 'cause the "Shark Tank" star breaks down the ultimate power of social media story -- user @romeosshow uploaded a 10-second TikTok clip after being inspired in a dream, and that went hugely viral ... and Dr. Pepper turned it into their official National Championship jingle. Insane.

Daymond drops some wild stats too -- saying we touch our phones hundreds of times a day -- and explains how social media is basically a giant testing lab, for people chasing fame and for brands hunting their next breakout star.

The convo even lit a fire under our own Harvey -- who took his own shot at viral glory ... with a jingle about diarrhea. Yes, really.

"Get Real With Me" host Alix Earle lived up to her YouTube series name Tuesday night ... the influencer used her TikTok followers as an emotional-support boyfriend following her breakup from Braxton Berrios.

Turning the camera on herself mid-spiral, she announced, "I'm just going to start talking to you guys like you're my boyfriend."

As you know, Alix and Braxton split last month after 2 years together. Since then, she's been committed to remaining single for a while ... and it's apparently been rough.

She admitted, "I can't sleep right now ... I feel like just not having that stability of a male partner -- or just even someone to talk to or distract me -- is just so weird.”

In the video, Alix describes herself as a serial "boyfriend hopper," which has made it tough for her to be okay with flying solo.

Desmond Scott’s mystery make-out partner -- yeah, the one he was locking lips with just two days after we broke the story his estranged wife Kristy hit him with divorce papers -- has officially been identified.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ the woman getting hot and heavy with Desmond last Sunday is Marissa Springer, a 24-year-old local Houston model who’s also currently in school working toward her master’s degree in business.

We’re told the two met for the first time earlier that night at Houston bar Sante through a mutual pal ... and Marissa had no clue about Desmond’s online fame. Our sources say it was also her understanding that he was single at the time.
