GoFundMe está negando permanente el uso de su plataforma a Rob Mercer, el jugador de la Serie Mundial de Poker que mintió acerca de tener cáncer y se quedó con decenas de miles de dólares en donaciones para ir a gastarse todo a Las Vegas.
Un portavoz de GoFundMe le dijo a TMZ que las personas que contribuyeron a la recaudación de Rob a principios de este año ya han sido reembolsados completamente y a él se le ha prohibido volver a usar el sitio en el futuro.
Se nos dice que la empresa tiene tolerancia cero para aquellos que "explotan la generosidad de su comunidad", y añaden que GoFundMe a menudo coopera con las investigaciones policiales contra aquellos "acusados formalmente de malas acciones."
Como informamos, Rob se sinceró esta semana de su gran mentira, que consitió en crear un GoFundMe para recaudar dinero que le permitiera asistir al evento principal de la Serie Mundial de Póker, de julio en Las Vegas.
Para lograrlo, le dijo a la comunidad que tenía cáncer de colon y, al parecer, recibió entre 30.000 y 50.000 dólares en apoyo. Sin embargo, según declaró al Las Vegas Review-Journal, se lo inventó todo, lo que hoy describe como una decisión "improvisada".
Rob también le dijo al medio que cree que tiene cáncer de mama sin diagnosticar, pero que le daba vergüenza decirlo. Por eso prefirió decir cáncer de colon en su lugar.
El problema es que si ahora realmente tiene cáncer de mama, no será capaz de correr a GoFundMe y pedir ayuda.
Para su información, el jugador profesional de póker Nick Vertucci se hizo amigo de Rob e incluso lo animó para que pudiera venir a competir en el gran evento. Pero, como se imaginarán, ya no está del lado de Rob... y calificó su engaño como "asqueroso".
USC's Lincoln Riley Lifts Controversial Ban On Reporter ... After 'Long Conversation'
USC head coach Lincoln Riley has lifted the controversial ban he placed on journalist Luca Evans this week ... after the two had a "long conversation" about the Trojans' beef with the beat writer.
Riley and his team initially suspended the Orange County Register reporter after they said he violated their media policies when he documented the pre-press-conference mannerisms of a Trojans player in a recent article.
The school said Evans shouldn't have written about the student-athlete's actions ... explaining they happened outside of the Trojans' allotted media availability period. Riley then suspended Evans for two weeks in response.
But, following days of backlash, Riley agreed to talk with Evans on Wednesday ... and on Thursday, he decided to remove the punishment.
"We had a very candid and productive conversation," Riley said. "We agreed that we both could have handled the situation differently. I appreciate Luca recognizing the policies we have in place to protect our student-athletes and acknowledging to adhere to those in the future."
"We welcome Luca back to practice and look forward to his continuing coverage of the Trojans."
Added Evans, "I respect and understand the program's outlined policies regarding media access, and any missteps came through the intent of doing my job and pursuing relationship-building and storytelling."
"I will continue the same reporting an writing with fairness, accuracy and depth, and we reached an agreement to lift the restriction on access."
Despite the drama with the journalist, Riley's got his Trojans rolling this year nonetheless ... they're 3-0, have scored 56-or-more points in all three contests. and are currently ranked No. 5 in the nation.

Charlamagne Tha God Nicki Minaj's Husband's Too Old For Childish Street Games!!!
Kenneth Petty is set to serve around 120 days house arrest for threatening Offset ... a pure act of immaturity, says Charlamagne Tha God who slapped Nicki Minaj's husband with his trademarked "Donkey of the Day."
CTG ripped into Petty Thursday morning for being 45 years old but still having the audacity to record and post himself making death threats ... which only served to incriminate him.
We obtained the court docs that made it official ... Petty was found to be in violation of his federal probation as a registered sex offender and could be indoors for up to 4 months.
Offset laughed off Petty's response (and is probably still laughing), and CTG says Petty has a privilege like none other he's not taking advantage of ... he's freakin' married to Nicki Minaj!!!
CTG declared the streets to be corny and says the evidence of them leading to jail or death backs him ten times over.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Nicki has yet to address the situation, but is teasing a new episode of her Queen Radio for later today where she'll have the opportunity to do so, but likely won't.
We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Drake Un comentario en Houston reavive los rumores de tensión con 'Meg'
Las tensiones de Drake con Megan Thee Stallion están otra vez en el centro de atención después de que algunos fans tomaran su aparentemente inofensivo mensaye de apoyo a su fotógrafa, durante un concierto de Houston, y lo dieran la vuelta en otra dirección.
Durante el show de Drake el 18 de septiembre, el rapero se tomó el tiempo para reconocer a su fotógrafa MegYup, y que todo el público vitoreara por "esta Meg, no por esa otra Meg".
Dado que Drake ha mencionado antes a la estrella del rap de Houston, a quien efectivamente desprecia en la canción "Circo Loco", los fans se volvieron locos especulando una vez que el clip comenzó a circular en las redes sociales.
Megan The Stallion tomó sus propias redes sociales para dejar las cosas claras, acusando a los trolls de arruinar su gran momento de gloria. Pero finalmente lo dejó pasar, e hizo mención al próximo álbum de Drake, que se lanzará en octubre.
Alex Spiro, quien representó a Thee Stallion durante el juicio contra Tory Lanez, dijo a TMZ Hip Hop que Drake y otros dudosos quedarían como tontos después del veredicto ... y bueno, la historia jugó a su favor.
Drake aún no ha reconocido sus alusiones en "Circo Loco". Tampoco ha vuelto a mencionarla desde el veredicto.
Drake 'Meg' Shoutout in Houston Causes Confusion ... Photog Lashes Out at Fans
Drake's tensions with Megan Thee Stallion are back in the spotlight after some fans took his seemingly harmless shoutout -- during his Houston concert -- and flipped it into another diss.
During Drake's September 18 show, he took time out to shout photographer MegYup by name, quipping, "Real H-Town love, shout out to Meg one time for real … not that Meg, this Meg.”
Given his past mentioning of the Houston rap star -- he effectively dissed her on the "Her Loss" track "Circo Loco" -- fans went wild with speculation once the clip began to circulate on social media.
MegYup took to her own social media to set the record straight, accusing unintelligible trolls of ruining her big moment of glory -- but eventually she called it a day, and simply plugged his upcoming album.
Alex Spiro, who represented Thee Stallion during her trial against Tory Lanez, told TMZ Hip Hop that Drake and other doubters would have egg on their faces ahead of the verdict ... which history shows went in their favor.
Drake has yet to acknowledge his "Circo Loco" bars ... but he also hasn't mentioned her again since the verdict.

Wild Golf Course Altercation Man Rips Off Shirt, Asks For Fight ... 'I'll Plant You, Bitch Boy!!!'
A golfer absolutely lost it during an altercation on the course this week ... ripping off his shirt and challenging at least one man to a fight on a tee box -- and the unreal scene was all caught on video.
It's unclear where and when exactly the dispute happened ... but it appeared it went down after a man in a green polo and khaki shorts nabbed someone else's ball.
You can hear in the video, several golfers seem to approach the guy and ask for the ball back ... but the man is clearly in no mood to return it.
"You'll leave after I don't give you a goddamn thing," the guy says.
He and the others trade words for a few more minutes ... until the man blows a gasket -- and challenges someone to a fight.
"I'll plant you, bitch boy," he says. "Now get the f*** off the cart!"
He then rips off his shirt, flexes ... and screams, "You see that! That's a dude that's been to heaven, bitch. And you want to test God? You f***ing come get it, s*** stack!"
After calling the man mentally ill, the group of golfers disperses ... and the video ends.
So far, no word if any arrests were made -- or if anyone was disciplined by course officials over the tiff.

SALVAJE ALTERCADO EN EL CAMPO DE GOLF ¡¡Hombre se Arranca la Camisa y Pide Pelea!!
Un golfista perdió los estribos durante un altercado en el campo de golf esta semana. Se arrancó la camiseta y retó a un hombre a pelear. La bizarra escena quedó grabada en vídeo.
No está claro dónde y cuándo ocurrió exactamente la disputa, pero parece que fue después de que un hombre vestido con un polo verde y pantalones cortos de color caqui le robara la bola a otro.
Se puede escuchar en el video que varios golfistas parecen acercarse al hombre y pedir la pelota de vuelta, pero el hombre está claramente de mal humor para devolverlo.
"Te irás después de que no te de ninguna maldita cosa", dice el tipo.
Él y los otros intercambian palabras durante unos minutos hasta que el hombre explota y reta a alguien a una pelea.
"Te la voy a dar hijo de puta", dice. "¡Ahora bájate del carro!"
A continuación se arranca la camisa, flexiona y grita: "¡¿Ves esto?! Este es un tipo creado en el cielo perra. ¿Quieres conocer a Dios? ¡Ven a buscarlo!"
Tras llamar enfermo al hombre, el grupo de golfistas se dispersa y el vídeo termina.
De momento no se sabe si hubo detenciones ni si los responsables del campo sancionaron a alguien por la pelea.
Tinashe Haría las paces con Chris Brown ... Pero hasta entonces con el foco en el futuro!!!
¡¡¡Chris Brown arrastró a Tinashe por el suelo esta semana!!! Pero la cantante de "BB/Ang3l" ni se inmuta y dice que el incidente ya es agua bajo el puente...
TMZ Hip Hop se encontró con Tinashe el miércoles en Hollywood, y no parecía muy afectada por Chris, su ex colaborador, quien criticó abiertamente su discografía en respuesta a una de sus últimas entrevistas.
En caso de que no lo sepan, Tinashe dice que no tiene recuerdos positivos de su trabajo con Chris o R. Kelly, pero que el problema particular con Chris fue la pista que el sello eligió para grabar.
Tinashe no cree que Chris haya visto el clip completo, y piensa que simplemente se dejó llevar por el "click fácil" en redes sociales. Él respondió de vuelta pidiendo al público que nombrase 5 canciones de Tinashe o iban a morir ... y, claro ya tenía el cementerio listo.
Tinashe dijo que estaría abierta a tener una conversación con Chris en un esfuerzo por aclarar las cosas, pero también sugirió que no está en su lista de prioridades.
Por otro lado, está emocionada por sus próximos shows donde promete incorporar nuevas rutinas de baile para los fans.
"Player", la canción que grabó con Chris en su momento, ni siquiera está en su lista de canciones por estos días, ¡¡¡tiene un nuevo EP de material que interpretar!!!

Chris Brown gave Tinashe the dragging of a lifetime this week but the "BB/Ang3l" singer's not tripping -- she's calling the incident water under a bridge she's already driving across!!!
TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Tinashe Wednesday in Hollywood, and she didn't seem too pressed about Chris -- her former collaborator -- openly bashing her discography in response to one of her latest interviews.
ICYMI, Tinashe didn't recall having positive memories working with either Chris or R. Kelly -- but said the issue with Chris was the track the label chose for them to record.
Tinashe tells us she doesn't think Chris watched the full clip, and merely got sucked into social media clickbait. He fired back by asking the public to name 5 Tinashe songs to save their life ... and already had the graveyard mapped out.
Tinashe said she'd be open to having a conversation with Chris in an effort to clear things up, but also suggested it's low on her priority list.
On the other hand, she is excited about her upcoming shows where she promises to incorporate new dance routines for fans.
"Player," the song she recorded with Chris back in the day isn't even on her setlist these days -- she's got a new EP worth of material to perform!!!

MODELO de instagram "NO ME ECHARON DEL VUELO" ¡Se vuelve viral!
La mujer que se jactó de su fama de Instagram en un avión —como se ve en el clip viral— dice que no fue expulsada del vuelo, por el contrario, fue ella quien se quiso ir.
La modelo de IG Morgan Osman estaba en pleno viaje a Miami el miércoles cuando habló con un fotógrafo sobre lo que la llevó a actuar de esa manera en el vuelo de American Airlines, una compañía que por cierto, dice que nunca le ha gustado.
Ella dice que todo el asunto fue por una mujer que afirmó que Morgan estaba en su asiento. Ella trató de ser la persona más madura y ceder el asiento y es cuando la gente comenzó a filmar su gran salida.
Se creía que a Morgan le dijeron que bajara del avión, con el video sólo mostrándola llamar al resto de los pasajeros "vagos de mier...".
Como informamos, Morgan recibió una oferta del sitio de streaming para adultos CamSoda para poner en un espectáculo a través de su plataforma después de que su video despegó. La compañía le ofreció $25k por sólo una hora de su tiempo.
Para tu información, Morgan dice que su cuenta fue desactivada por romper las directrices de la comunidad, pero ella no está segura de merecer ese trato. Parece que tendrá que buscar otra aplicación para insultar en su próximo vuelo.

'IG Famous' Model On Plane I Wasn't Kicked off My Flight ... Breaks Down Viral Moment
The woman who boasted about her Instagram fame on a plane, as seen in the viral clip, says she wasn't booted from the flight ... but that she bounced on her own terms.
IG model Morgan Osman was riding in her turquoise ride in Miami on Wednesday when she talked with a photog about what caused her to act out on her American Airlines flight -- a company she says she's never liked, BTW.
She says the whole thing was over a woman who claimed Morgan was in her seat ... and she tried to be the bigger person and leave the flight, which is when folks started filming her grand exit.
It was widely believed that Morgan was told to deboard the plane, with the quick clip only showing her call fellow passengers "f***ing bums" ... but she's certainly calling that part total BS.
As we reported, Morgan got an offer from adult streaming site CamSoda to put on a show through their platform after her video took off ... and the company was offering her $25k for just an hour of her time.
FYI, Morgan says her account was deactivated for breaking community guidelines, but she isn't sure exactly what she did to cause it to be banned. Looks like she'll have to find a different app to name-drop on her next flight.

Peso Pluma isn't gonna take any chances with the Mexican cartel ... canceling next month's show in Tijuana after death threats made to the singer were spotted in the city.
The cancellation was announced on Instagram Wednesday -- music labels Double P Records and Prajin Music Group said in a statement, "Our goal is to protect the fans and the team. For the safety of everyone involved, we will cancel our show in Tijuana."
As we reported, it's been a week since the 24-year-old singer was in the cartel's crosshairs ... when banners were spotted within the city, warning Peso to not come to Tijuana and perform.
They read, "This goes to Peso Pluma, refrain from presenting yourself on October 14, because it will be your last show due to your disrespect and loose tongue." Seems the message was received loud and clear.
The threat was signed by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, an organization based in the city where Peso was born.
FYI, Peso is just one of many Mexican artists who make references to drug lords, illegal organizations, and other crimes that have gone down in the country -- it appears that was where the cartel's distaste was coming from.

Angelica Ross Emma Roberts Called Me Up ... Apologized After Alleged 'AHS' Transphobic Remarks
12:51 PM PT -- Angelica Ross says Emma Roberts contacted her after being called transphobic ... apologizing for what went down.
The actress jumped back on social media Wednesday with a follow-up ... thanking Emma for hitting her up and "recognizing your behavior was not that of an ally." She added, "I will leave the line open to follow up on your desire to do better and support social justice causes with your platform."
Emma Roberts was transphobic to Angelica Ross on the set of 'American Horror Story' ... so claims Angelica herself, who's spilling even more alleged tea about her onetime costar.
The actress -- who's a trans woman -- hopped on social media Tuesday to make the allegation ... detailing what she says happened while they were filming 'AHS: 1984' back in 2018 when she was cast opposite ER ... who was the lead that season.
Angelica says Emma misgendered her during an interaction with yet another costar, John Carroll Lynch, who told the "ladies" (meaning Angelica and Emma) to play nice between takes ... this after Emma playfully complained AR was being mean.
Here's what Angelica claims Emma said right after that ... "Don't you mean 'lady.'" Apparently, she partially cloaked her face and walked away -- leaving Angelica stunned.
After, Angelica says she never spoke another word to Emma when cameras weren't rolling ... but as far as why she didn't report it -- AR explains she felt she'd be retaliated against, claiming someone else on set who'd spoken up had been punished.
Lastly ... Angelica alleges Emma was a major terror in general, pissing off the other actors and throwing her weight around in an insufferable way.
We reached out to Emma's rep ... so far, no word back.
