Ryan Garcia wants his family and fans to know he is alive and "okay" ... but his current situation is far from pleasant -- claiming he has been stripped of access to his phone, Instagram and finances.

TMZ Sports has obtained a video statement from King Ryan himself ... where he explains he has no idea what is happening, but he believes he's being exploited.

"Hey guys, it's Ryan," the 24-1 boxing superstar says in the clip. "I'm coming on here to explain what's going on. I'm not in possession of my phone, I can't get access to my Instagram. My cards are locked. I'm being really taking advantage [of]."

"I would personally want to just send out a video to the people that love me and my fans, family that's concerned that I'm okay. I'm not dead, I believe in Jesus, all those [rumors] are lies."

Ryan goes on to state an unidentified party is trying to put him in jail ... and when he's reached out to people for help, he's been met with radio silence.

"I don't know what's going on but just know I'm okay," he continued.

The video comes following genuine concern from fans who have grown worrisome over Garcia's recent odd social media activity -- including a video that claimed something bad had happened to Ryan.

An absolutely horrific natural disaster went down in South America this weekend that saw two vehicles get completely crushed in a rockslide ... which, somehow, didn't claim any lives.

Two drivers in San Mateo, Peru were cruising along a highway in the middle of a mountain range ... when, all of a sudden, a rockslide occurred -- with a handful of massive boulders descending at full speed and making contact with the cars down below.

The video's wild -- you see a truck up ahead of the one that's recording from its dashcam, and it gets flattened/tossed by a boulder. Not long after ... the truck recording also gets hit.

Per CNN ... both drivers survived the ordeal, although it's unclear if they sustained injuries.

What makes that even more shocking is when you see what this nightmare looked like from the inside. The driver of the truck with the dash cam footage had another angle showing himself fleeing ... and he narrowly escaped getting squashed, if only by seconds/inches.

There are pics circulating of the aftermath from this ... and it gives you a full sense of how many rocks ended up coming down the mountainside, and how destructive this really was.

As you can see ... the entire highway ended up being blocked by boulders and debris, and first responders were on the scene trying to clear the road as best as they could. According to reports, it took about four hours for them to get the flow of traffic moving again.

As for what may have caused this ... authorities suspect heavy rain possibly destabilized some of the terrain there. That's something folks here in SoCal can relate to these days.

Un desastre natural absolutamente horrible ocurrió en América del Sur este fin de semana, cuando dos vehículos quedaron completamente aplastados por un desprendimiento de rocas que, de alguna manera, no cobró ninguna vida.

Dos conductores en San Mateo, Perú, viajaban lo largo de una carretera en medio de la cordillera, cuando de repente, un deslizamiento de rocas se produjo y un puñado de enormes rocas descendió a toda velocidad e hizo contacto con los carros que iban pasando más abajo

El video es impactante, se puede ver claramente como una roca gigantesca cae desde lo alto de manera brutal, extremadamente cerca de un camión y del vehículo que está grabando.

CNN dijo que ambos conductores sobrevivieron a la terrible experiencia, aunque no está claro si sufrieron lesiones.

Lo que hace todo aún más impactante, es ver como se vivió el momento desde el interior. El conductor del camión tenía una dashcam y pudo capturar como se salvó de ser aplastado por unos pocos segundos y unq corta distancia.

Hay fotos circulando de las secuelas... y el nivel destructivo de las rocas es realmente increíble.

Como se puede ver, toda la carretera terminó siendo bloqueada por rocas y escombros, y los socorristas estaban en la escena tratando de despejar la carretera lo mejor que pudieron. Según los informes, tardaron unas cuatro horas en restablecer la circulación.

Las autoridades sospechan que las fuertes lluvias han desestabilizado parte del terreno. Eso es algo que la gente aquí en California puede identificarse estos días.

La policía de Cleveland se vio envuelta en una persecución por carretera este fin de semana muy inusual, ¡ya que los sospechosos en cuestión eran dos sementales!

Échale un vistazo a este video viral del sábado -cortesía del Departamento de Transporte de Ohio- que muestra a dos caballos corriendo contra el tráfico en la Interestatal 90, con los carros pasando peligrosamente cerca de los bellos animales.

Oficiales de la policía de Cleveland fueron vistos haciendo todo lo posible para guiarlos con seguridad lejos de los carros y fuera de la interestatal hacia la hierba más cercana, y finalmente, consiguieron ponerlos bajo control.

En cuanto a donde estos caballos vinieron y cómo podrían haber escapado... la versión oficial es que en realidad eran caballos de la policía que de alguna manera se escaparon de sus establos.

Afortunadamente, nadie resultó herido. Muchos están aplaudiendo el manejo de la policía en una situación tan inusual. No estamos seguros de que estaríamos tan relajados si dos caballos enormes trotaran directamente hacia nosotros, pero bueno, felicitaciones a la policía de Cleveland por mantener la calma y controlar a los suyos.

Cleveland Police were involved in a highway chase this weekend that had serious horsepower -- and we mean that literally ... as the suspects in question were 2 rogue stallions!

Check out this viral video from Saturday -- courtesy of the Ohio Department of Transportation -- which shows two horses running against traffic on Interstate 90, with cars being brought to a brief standstill as the two animals galloped freely in the wind.

Officers for Cleveland PD were seen trying their best to safely guide them away from cars and off the interstate to nearby grass -- and eventually, they got the broncos under control.

As for where these horses came from and how they might have escaped ... the official word is, they were actually with the cops and somehow broke out of their police stables nearby.

Luckily, nobody was harmed in all this -- including the horses themselves. Many are applauding the police's calm handling of the unusual situation. We're not sure we'd be so relaxed if two massive horses trotted directly at us -- but hey, kudos to Cleveland Police for keeping their cool and wrangling their own.

Danielle Bregoli estaba discutiendo con su novio antes de que una pelea estallara en un restaurante de Los Ángeles este fin de semana y parece que estaba bastante enojada, al menos basándonos de este nuevo video.

TMZ ha obtenido más imágenes que muestran a Danielle -aka, Bhad Bhabie- gritándole a su pareja: "pronto vas a ser papá de un bebé, Le Vaughn". Todo esto ocurrió el sábado por la noche en West Hollywood, no mucho antes de que sus amigos comenzaron a tener problemas con una mesa vecina, lo cual también fue capturado por la cámara.

En este nuevo ángulo, se puede ver a Bhad perdiendo la calma con su hombre, aunque es difícil decir exactamente lo que estaban discutiendo. Fuera lo que fuera, que tenía a Danielle bastante enfurecida.

Recordemos que el representante de Danielle nos dijo que ella y su grupo simplemente reaccionaron a ser provocados por "mujeres borrachas" que supuestamente los estaban acosando, pero esto parece sugerir que algo más estaba pasando, aunque no está claro qué.

En cualquier caso, las cosas se pusieron feas. Algunas de las amigas de Danielle se enfrentaron con otras damas en el restaurante... hasta que las separaron.

Danielle no parece estar directamente involucrada en actos violentos, y mientras testigos afirmaron que ella y Le Vaughn se pusieron agresivos, no hay evidencia que lo respalde, aparte de este clip que los muestra teniendo una acalorada discusión.

Como se puede ver, Danielle está a punto de estallar con el niño de Le Vaughn en su vientre, y no hace mucho tiempo lucían como una pareja feliz durante una reciente fiesta de bebé.

Teniendo en cuenta que están a punto de darle la bienvenida a un bebé al mundo juntos, esperamos lque puedan resolver sus problemas -sea cual sea- y llegar a una solución pacífica.

Danielle Bregoli was arguing with her boyfriend before a brawl erupted in an L.A. restaurant this weekend -- and it looks like she was pretty pissed ... at least based on this new video.

TMZ has obtained more footage that shows Danielle -- aka, Bhad Bhabie -- screaming at her partner/soon-to-be baby daddy, Le Vaughn, Saturday night in WeHo ... not long before her friends started scrapping with a neighboring table ... which was also caught on camera.

In this new angle, you can see BB losing her cool with her man -- although, it's hard to say exactly what they were bickering about. Whatever it was ... it clearly had Danielle fuming.

Remember, Danielle's rep told us she and her group simply reacted to being provoked by "drunk women" who were allegedly harassing them -- but this seems to suggest something else was going on besides these outside parties recording them all. Again, unclear what.

In any case ... it all came to head with blows from each side -- namely, some of Danielle's friends duking it out with other ladies in the restaurant ... that is, until they were broken up.

Danielle didn't appear to be directly involved in the violence herself here -- and while eyewitnesses claimed she and Le Vaughn had gotten physical amongst themselves ... there's no direct evidence to back that up, aside from this clip of them in a heated exchange.

As you can see, Danielle is just about to ready to pop with her and Le Vaughn's child -- and not that long ago ... they were looking like a happy couple during a recent baby shower.

Considering they're about to welcome a baby into the world together, here's hoping they can work out their issues -- whatever those might be -- and come to a peaceful resolution.

Taylor Swift es la mayor estrella del mundo, así que no es de extrañar que pueda desencadenar un conflicto entre dos naciones soberanas, y todo por el lugar donde actuará el próximo fin de semana.

Así es la cosa, T-Swift está en Singapur en este momento, luego de haber completado los primeros tres de seis conciertos en el país. No cabe duda que le va muy bien en el sudeste asiático.

¿Y las razones del enojo?... al parecer las autoridades de Singapur negociaron que Taylor no actuará en otros territorios de la región, por lo que Singapur es un destino de viaje obligatorio para los Swifties Asiáticos.

Un legislador en las Filipinas no está entendiendo esa parte, criticando públicamente al gobierno de Singapur por no ser exactamente un buen vecino.

El político filipino Joey Salceda está llamando al departamento de asuntos exteriores de su gobierno para protestar por la subvención supuestamente otorgada a Swift para mantener un acuerdo de exclusividad con Singapur.

Salceda le dijo a un medio local que se supone que los gobiernos son amigos, por lo que, en su mente, esto es una traición muy hiriente de parte del gobierno de Singapur.

A propósito, el Primer Ministro de Tailandia Srettha Thavisin respalda la afirmación de Salceda, con Sky News informando que dijo que le preguntó AEG, la empresa detrás de la gira de Tay por qué ella no iba a venir, y le dijeron todo sobre el acuerdo de exclusividad.

Taylor claramente no está dejando que toda la mala sangre arruine su estado de ánimo, porque ella se mantiene centrada en sus espectáculos, ofeciendo varias actuaciones impresionantes para todos los Swifties que viajaron para verla.

Taylor Swift's the biggest star in the world ... so it's no shock she can kick off a conflict between two sovereign nations -- and all because of where she's performing next weekend.

Here's the deal ... obviously, T-Swift's over in Singapore right now, having just completed the first three of six concerts in the country. After her next three shows, she's outtie 5000 on Southeast Asia.

The reasons this is drawing ire ... a deal was reportedly brokered by Singaporean authorities that Taylor would not perform in other territories in the region thus making Singapore a must-travel destination for Swifties in Asia.

Well, one lawmaker in the Philippines ain't having that ... publicly calling out the Singaporean government for not exactly being neighborly.

Phillippines politician Joey Salceda is calling on his government's foreign affairs department to protest the grant allegedly given to Swift to keep an exclusivity deal with Singapore.

Salceda told a local outlet that the governments are supposed to be friends ... so in his mind, this is a very hurtful betrayal by the Singaporean gov.

BTW ... Thailand's Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin backing up Salceda's claim -- with Sky News reporting he said he asked AEG, the company behind Tay's tour why she wasn't coming, and they told him all about the exclusivity deal.

Taylor's clearly not letting all the bad blood ruin her mood though ... 'cause she's staying focused on her shows -- putting on several impressive performances for all the Swifties who traveled to see her.

Justin Bieber's celebrating his 30th birthday today -- but he probably wasn't expecting this gift ... a wax figure in his image and likeness, although people are asking ... is it really???

Madame Tussauds rolled out their latest creation Friday -- unveiling a new Bieber figurine just in time for him to celebrate the big 3-0 ...  and, per usual, folks are pretty divided on whether this actually looks like him or not.

Check it out ... Madame Tussauds says the artist modeled this wax Bieber after JB's look in his "Peaches" music video ... but some aren't really seeing the vision. On the other hand ... a good amount of people say this is actually a pretty decent rendition of the Biebs.

While the wax figure may have somewhat of a passing resemblance to JB ... a lot of the comments are saying there's something a little off about this version of Justin.

Some folks say the figure looks more like Brooklyn Beckham or Latin pop singer Miguel Pregueiro -- but hey, eye of the beholder on this type of stuff.

Of course, others are being a little meaner in the replies ... someone says it looks like "Justina Bieber" and another user says this "looks like Justin Bieber from China."

Frankly, there have been worse Justin Bieber wax figurines over his career -- this one just happens to be hitting the streets on a momentous day, which is why it's getting extra attention.

Lil Wayne and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson recently spoke out against their own botched wax figures, but no word on this one yet from the man himself. He's been laying low today.

Gwyneth Paltrow's kicking off Women's History Month with a teachable moment -- imploring white women to emulate Black women's approach to self-love, but her message is hitting a lot of people as tone-deaf.

The Oscar winner shared her opinion Thursday while appearing alongside Dr. Ella Bell at the Makers Conference in Beverly Hills ... with the Goop founder praising her Black gal pals for having an "incredible intrinsic self-honoring."

She added, "It's like from the deepest part of their souls all the way to the tips of their fingers." Feel the cringe begin. 😬

According to Gwyneth, her "Black women friends know themselves, love themselves, in a way that I think white women are not taught to."

"I think white women are taught to be competitive with one another," she added, "which is something I've tried to work so hard to dispel, because I don't believe in competition between women -- but we're raised to be competitive, to be jealous, to look over each other's shoulders."

GP declared it isn't that way in her "circle of Black women" ... and she continued, "I've learned so much from my Black friends about ruthless self-acceptance and full love of self."

She went on to suggest white women can "learn from our Black sisters and the way in which they respect themselves."

Gwyneth had a direct message for those listening -- "Keeping white women at odds with each other, in competition with one another, keeps the patriarchy strong."

She added ... "You don't have to get less because somebody is going to get more."

While the lifestyle guru likely intended for these words to be uplifting -- on the final day of Black History Month, mind you -- some people think she flat-out missed the mark, especially with the African American community.

Scores of online comments are ripping Gwyneth for being blind to the fact Black women are commonly pitted against each other in pop culture and American society, at large.

Just a few high-profile examples -- Nicki Minaj is currently beefing with Megan Thee Stallion, and has previously feuded with Cardi B. Fellow rising stars Ice Spice and Latto are also taking subtle shots at each other.

The organizers of the disastrous Willy Wonka experience in the UK have issued an official apology -- that's after nearly a week of pure chaos, anger and rib-tickling memes.

Glasgow-based House of Illuminati -- the team behind the now-viral attraction -- laid it out on FB Friday ... owning up to the fiasco and acknowledging the disappointment and frustration they caused to all those parents who just wanted to show their kids a good time.

That being said ... HOI says that while it takes full responsibility for its decisions surrounding the debacle, anyone who was hired externally is categorically not affiliated with them -- meaning that tossing out allegations against those who didn't have anything to do with the mess can do some serious damage.

They're basically reminding everyone ... get the full story before casting judgment.

The person behind the post also lets us in on a deeply personal matter ... saying that they too are paying the price for the failed venture 'cause their wedding is now off.

Although, they note ... the ticket sales weren't ever gonna fund it in the first place.

They're also working hard to rectify the situation ... and refunding all 850 transactions of 35 pounds a pop is definitely a step in the right direction.

All in all, they're asking for some sympathy and time to process everything that's happened, adding ... "My intention is to learn from this experience. Your support and understanding during this time mean the world to me."

The official apology came after video surfaced of HOI facing off against some seriously angry parents -- who demanded refunds in a heated clip making the rounds online.

Paul Connell, one of the Wonkas caught up in this viral mess, also spilled the tea to TMZ ... saying the situation spiraled to the point cops had to be called. Adding insult to injury, PC also claimed he still hadn't been paid the 500 pounds (roughly $633) for his part in the event.

Nonetheless, the pissed parents have all rallied together and are reportedly working on putting on their own "Wonka" exhibit.

The team behind the viral, and failed, Willy Wonka experience has some making up to do, and Billy McFarland -- a guy who's very familiar with that situation -- wants to give them a shot at getting it right.

We talked to the Fyre Festival founder in NYC, and had to ask him about that Wonka disaster in the UK that's captured the world's attention ... and instantly reminded folks of Billy's own failed festival.

ICYMI ... pics from a pop-up Willy Wonka experience in Scotland have been all over X and other social media platforms with people complaining about how truly lackluster and appalling the whole thing was.

And, Billy agrees ... saying right off the bat he thinks organizers need to make amends with the kids for the one-star factory tour ASAP, and IF that happens ... he's offering team Wonka a spot at Fyre Festival II.

Remember, Billy put on a similarly, and legendarily, bad experience in the form of a music festival for high-paying fans back in 2017 in the Bahamas. The set-up was abysmal, and Billy later pled guilty to defrauding investors. He served around four years in prison.

McFarland says he wants to give the Wonka folks a chance to do things right at Fyre 2 ... albeit with some guardrails in place to keep everything on track.

Billy's clearly got the second Fyre Festival on his mind ... saying it's set for some time next year, but his partners will announce the date when they're ready. For now, he's taking on more of a marketing role and trying not to go overboard and do too much.

And, it seems like Fyre tickets are goin' quickly ... with Billy telling the world on Thursday that the Fyre II presale has received applications for around $110 million worth of tickets.

El equipo detrás de la experiencia viral de Willy Wonka necesita compensar a los niños -según Billy McFarland- quien quiere darle a los organizadores una oportunidad de redención.

Hablamos con el fundador del Festival Fyre en la ciudad de Nueva York el martes y tuvimos que preguntarle acerca de la experiencia Willy Wonka que ha capturado la atención del mundo, mientras que se podría compar con el propio festival fallido de Billy.

Fotos de una experiencia de Willy Wonka fallida en Escocia han circulado por X y otras plataformas de redes sociales con la gente quejándose de lo verdaderamente mediocre y espantoso que fue todo el asunto.

Billy está de acuerdo, diciendo desde el principio que él piensa que los organizadores tienen que hacer las paces con los niños lo antes posible, y luego les ofreció una rama de olivo y un lugar en el Festival Fyre II.

Recordemos que Billy vivió una mala experiencia similar en la forma de un festival de música para los fanáticos de alto pago de vuelta en 2017 en las Bahamas. El montaje fue pésimo, y Billy más tarde se declaró culpable de estafar a los inversores. Cumplió unos cuatro años de cárcel.

McFarland quiere darle al equipo la oportunidad de hacer las cosas bien en Fyre 2, aunque con algunos guardarraíles en su lugar para mantener todo en orden.

Billy claramente tiene el segundo Festival Fyre en su mente, diciendo que está programado para algún momento del próximo año, pero sus socios anunciarán la fecha cuando estén listos. Por ahora, él está tomando más de un papel de marketing y tratando de no ir por la borda y hacer demasiado.

Parece que las entradas de Fyre se van rápidamente, con Billy contándonos que el día que la preventa Fyre ha recibido solicitudes de alrededor de $110 millones de dólares en entradas.

Un gran llamado de atención ocurrió en un show de Taylor Swift en Australia, los Swifties criticaron a una mujer que fue capturada en video usando una aplicación para buscar una de las canciones de Taylor, pero muchos otros la están defendiendo

Algunos fans de Taylor están furiosos porque la asistente al concierto, que parece ser una mujer de mediana edad, recurrió a Shazam para identificar una de las canciones que Tay Tay estaba cantando, específicamente, "Champagne Problems".

Un breve clip de la mujer buscando frenéticamente la canción en su teléfono se está volviendo viral en TikTok y una facción de Swifties están cabreados, quejándose de que un fan no tan fanático compró un boleto para los shows de la gira "Eras" con entradas agotadas.

Hay un montón de gente mala en los comentarios, despotricando exageradamente sobre la mujer... al parecer, para los swifties es algo imperdonable.

Mientras que la indignación es bastante fuerte, la mayoría de la gente está siendo comprensiva... Menos mal.

La teoría más comentada es que la mujer probablemente fue al espectáculo con un miembro de la familia más joven que sí es un gran fan de Taylor, y ella simplemente no se sabía las canciones. Suena bastante plausible, y definitivamente no hay nada de que preocuparse.

Major no-no at the Taylor Swift concert down in Australia ... Swifties are coming after a woman who was caught on video using an app to look up one of Taylor's hit songs -- but lots of others are actually defending this lady.

Some Taylor fans are furious the concertgoer, who appears to be a middle-aged woman, turned to Shazam to identify one of the songs Tay Tay was singing ... specifically, "Champagne Problems."

A short clip of the woman frantically looking up the song on her phone is going viral on TikTok ... and a faction of Swifties are pissed, complaining about a non-diehard fan scoring a ticket to the sold-out "Eras" tour shows.

There's a bunch of mean folks in the comments ... seemingly upset the woman had the audacity to use Shazam in the middle of the show. How dare she not know the full setlist!!!

While the outrage is pretty loud, the majority of people are being supportive ... and understanding. Just check the comments from the OG TikTok -- there's a good amount of folks cutting her some slack, while other overzealous Swifties are dogpiling.

One popular theory ... the woman using Shazam probably went to the show with a younger family member who is a huge Taylor fan -- and she just didn't know the songs herself ... and wants to learn. Sounds pretty plausible, and it's definitely nothing to fret.
