DaBaby No Pins for You!!! Bowling Ban After Brawl

For DaBaby and his crew it's pretty simple -- gotta get your bowl on, or your brawl on ... and since they opted for a beat down on DaniLeigh's brother, they're now banned from a SoCal bowling alley.
TMZ has learned Corbin Bowl in Topanga, CA is dropping the hammer -- as much as a bowling alley can -- on the rapper and his pals over Wednesday night's vicious attack on Brandon Bills.
An employee from the bowling alley tells us ... the staff reviewed security footage from the fight, and turned it over to the police. In their eyes, the videos clearly show DaBaby as the aggressor and Brandon as the victim.
We're told it's still really early in the investigation, so it's unclear to the bowling alley if Brandon said anything, prior to DaBaby's attack. However, a witness in the party tells us Brandon first approached DaBaby and told him he didn't appreciate how Baby had treated DaniLeigh in the past.
For now, Brandon's free to return to Corbin and bowl 10 frames.
As for the brawl itself ... not only was it fierce to observe, it was an absolute disaster for the bowling alley to clean up.
We're told one of their mechanics was on his hands and knees for hours scrubbing at the dried-up sugary drink DaBaby apparently threw at Brandon. It actually cost 'em $250 in cleaning chemicals ... plus they had to re-oil the lanes where the fight went down.
As you may know, things have been rocky between Dani and DaBaby. Back in November, they got in a huge blowout fight ... she ended up getting arrested on 2 counts of assault.
While they've been trying to co-parent since then, it looks like this might be an ongoing family feud.

'Cheer' Star Jerry Harris Pleads Guilty in Child Porn Case
3:09 PM PT -- Jerry's attorneys released a statement on his behalf, saying he wants to "take responsibility for his actions and publicly convey his remorse for the harm he has caused the victims in this case." They go on to say that Jerry himself was sexually abused while competing in cheer as a child, so "that perversely made him believe that this sexual conduct was normal when it's not."
His lawyers say he's been in therapy and mental health treatment behind bars. They say by pleading guilty, "Jerry will spend the rest of his life making amends for what he has done."
Jerry Harris has pleaded guilty in his child pornography case .... TMZ has learned.
The "Cheer" star was in Chicago Federal court Thursday where he entered the plea to 2 charges -- receiving child porn using interstate commerce and traveling over state lines with intent to illicit sexual conduct with a minor.
Harris had been under investigation by the FBI for allegedly soliciting minors for sex back in May 2019. The feds say Jerry requested sexually inappropriate photos from teen boys, which they sent to him.
The judge told Harris sentencing guidelines call for him to get up to 50 years in prison -- but it's ultimately up to the judge who will announce Harris' sentence in a June 28 hearing.
Jerry rose to fame in Season 1 of the popular Netflix series ... but things quickly took a turn for the worse, when he was arrested in Illinois for child pornography in Sept. 2020.
According to the criminal complaint, Jerry was 19 at the time and the alleged victims were 13.
The feds claim the teens' parents say Harris had contacted both of them online and repeatedly asked for pornographic photos and videos.
Harris allegedly started contacting the boys back in December of 2018.
The alleged victims provided law enforcement with screenshots of exchanges with Harris via Snapchat and text messages, among other evidence.
Harris was ultimately charged with producing child pornography. He's still dealing with a civil lawsuit from the 2 alleged victims ... who claim he groomed them into sending the nude photos and he demanded sexual acts.

Kevin O'Leary Off the Hook in Fraud Lawsuit

Kevin O’Leary is off the hook in a fraud lawsuit -- and his lawyers are saying he should never have been sued in the first place.
A judge just granted O'Leary's motion to toss the suit filed against him last year ... alleging he helped promote a massive scam that duped a bunch of people trying to start businesses.
20 entrepreneurs sued Kevin and others for allegedly encouraging them to use crowdfunding companies to kickstart their business ideas. The problem is they claim it was a total bunk, and they all ended up losing money.
Here’s the thing though ... Kev’s attorneys, Paul Sorrell and Andrew Brettler, tell us the reason the judge agreed to dismiss O'Leary from the case is because -- put simply -- the court didn't buy that O’Leary's general statements about crowdfunding were enough to hold him accountable when people pursued those paths.
In other words -- just because the crowdfunding plan didn't pan out, it's not Kevin's fault
In any case, all’s well that ends well for Mr. Wonderful ... who previously told us the suit was bogus, and that he’d defend himself in court.
Case closed ... for Kevin, anyway. The case continues with the other defendants.

Snoop Dogg Sued for Sexual Assault ... Rapper Calls it Shakedown

A woman claims Snoop Dogg forced oral sex on her back in 2013, but a source representing the rapper says the woman filed suit on the heels of the Super Bowl -- where Snoop is performing in the halftime show -- hoping she'd get a payday.
The woman, who is only identified as Jane Doe, claims on May 29, 2013, she attended one of Snoop's shows in Anaheim, California. After the show, the woman says Bishop Don Juan -- a longtime associate of Snoop's -- offered her a ride home. She says she fell asleep in the car, and when she awoke they had arrived not at her home, but at Bishop's.
The lawsuit says, "Plaintiff was exhausted and fell asleep at [Bishop's] home." She says she awoke at 4 AM the next morning and Bishop "removed his penis from his pants and forced his penis in Plaintiff's face," and "repeatedly shoved his penis into Plaintiff's mouth."
She says in the suit, Bishop "discriminated against and harassed Plaintiff because of Plaintiff's sex and gender."
She then says Bishop gave her a dress and told her to put it on so they could go to Snoop's studio, saying "I want to see if he will make you the weather girl" -- for some TV show. The woman says in the suit she's a model and dancer.
She then claims she went to Snoop's but had a stomachache so she went to the bathroom, and while she was on the toilet, Snoop walked in, "standing with his crotch in Plaintiff's face, while Plaintiff was defecating on the toilet." She says he then forced oral sex on her.
She claims shortly thereafter, Bishop said to her, "Come here! Take a picture with Snoop!" She says she was scared and took the photo.
And then she says Snoop wouldn't hire her because she "refused to willingly and enthusiastically give oral sex."
Snoop denies the entire story, saying it's a pack of lies. He posted an image on his Instagram, calling her a "Gold digger."
A source tells TMZ ... the woman demanded just shy of $10 million ... that demand was rejected.
Both Snoop and Bishop Don Juan were sued for unspecified damages. We tried reaching the Bishop for comment but were unable to contact him.

Wu-Tang Clan ain’t nothing to f*** with -- and neither is Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s widow ... 'cause now, she's taking the group's company to court.
Icelene Jones, the administrator of ODB’s estate, filed suit against Wu-Tang Clan Productions ... an org she says her hubby -- along with Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, and GZA -- signed a contract with back in 1992 ... which she alleges entitled those members to half of pretty much all the music they put out.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Jones claims that the agreement also obligated the company to pay ODB no less than 50% of net royalties from the exploitation of his image or likeness.
ODB died back in 2004, but his widow insists that the old contract still requires the company to continue paying Dirt McGirt's estate. However, Jones says she hasn't gotten what her late husband is owed ... and hasn't been able to get proper accountings from the company since at least 2011.
While she acknowledges at least a few payments have been made to her -- including a recent one for $130K back in July 2021 -- she alleges that’s nowhere near what’s actually due. Jones is claiming breach of contract and wants no less than a million bucks in damages.
Like her husband used to say ... bitch, better have my money!

The key medic on "Rust" is now taking legal action against Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and Dave Halls ... suing them over the fatal shooting that killed Halyna Hutchins.
Cherlyn Schaefer filed suit against the movie's armorer and assistant director -- plus the production company and others -- claiming the defendants' alleged negligence caused her severe emotional distress in the aftermath of it all.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Schaefer claims she was the first one to provide medical assistance to Halyna after the shooting ... desperately fighting to save her life by applying pressure to her wounds, giving her oxygen and checking her vitals.
Schaefer also claims she was the one who called 911 and ordered a medical helicopter to airlift Halyna to the hospital ... where she eventually died.
In the suit, Schaefer claims she's since suffered "tremendous shock, trauma and severe emotional distress" ... and she's blaming the whole ordeal on the production's shortcomings with respect to safety issues.
Schaefer says she was regularly employed as a medic on film sets before "Rust" ... but now she claims she's so shaken she's medically prevented from returning to the profession or any other job.
Schaefer's suing Reed and Halls because she says they were responsible for Alec Baldwin being given the gun with a live round, which killed Halyna. Baldwin is not being sued.
She's also suing the movie's prop master, Sarah Zachry, claiming Zachry knew or should have known the gun contained live ammo.
Zachry's lawyer, William Waggoner, tells TMZ ... Zachry did not load the gun or handle the gun the day of the shooting, and "she did nothing wrong."
Schaefer is asking for unspecified damages.
We reached out to lawyers for Reed and Halls ... so far, no word back.

Tyga just got some more good news in his domestic violence case ... we've learned he will NOT be hit with any criminal charges, as long as he stays out of trouble.
Tyga's case has been set for a hearing with the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office, where he'll sit down with prosecutors to talk about how to better handle domestic disputes in the future.
That's the educational part of this ... the other caveat is Tyga's got to keep his close nose clean, legally speaking, for the next year. If he doesn't, prosecutors could end up filing misdemeanor charges in the case -- so, they're still dangling that carrot.

TMZ broke the story ... Tyga was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence in October after his ex-girlfriend, Camaryn Swanson, accused him of putting his hands on her when they got in an argument at the rapper's home.
Tyga turned himself in to police and his bail was set at $50k.
The allegations haven't stopped Tyga from spending time with Camaryn -- as we previously reported, the exes are easing back into hanging out again.
We're told it's casual and not romantic at this point, but whatever they label their relationship ... there are some high stakes attached to it now for Tyga.

Sam Williams I Want Out of Conservatorship!!! Claims Dad, Hank Williams Jr., Put Him In It

Exclusive
- 3.2K shares
Hank Williams Jr.'s son wants some of what Britney Spears has -- freedom from a conservatorship ... one he alleges his father quietly placed him in 18 months ago.
Sam Williams -- himself a country singer who's worked with the likes of Dolly Parton -- posted an eerily silent video to YouTube earlier this week ... and in it, he holds up handwritten signs explaining his alleged plight.
Sam claims his father and half-sister, Holly Williams, put him under a conservatorship back in August 2020 ... 55 days after his sister, Katie Williams, was killed in a car accident.
In the video, the 24-year-old singer nervously looks around the room before holding up one more sign that reads, "I want out."
The caption on the clip says, "I've been quiet a long time now. I want out of this, and I don't mind people knowing. They took my grief process, my spirit, my money, my car, my home, and everything possible in order to 'protect me.' Well, I need protection from them."
Interestingly, Sam and his father were photographed together in November 2021 at Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame -- where they were celebrating Hank's induction -- although, Sam doesn't look all that thrilled to be there.
We've reached out to Hank Jr. and Holly's attorneys and reps multiple times, but haven't gotten any response. However, TMZ has confirmed through court records ... Hank did file a petition for an emergency conservatorship in August 2020, and it was for Sam. We've been unable to confirm the current status of the conservatorship.
Sam released his debut album, "Glasshouse Children," right around the same time the conservatorship docs were filed.
The record features collabs with Dolly and Keith Urban. At the time, he told People it was a difficult record to complete while mourning his sister -- "I definitely broke and went through a really, really, really hard time. I'm still climbing out of it. But, it's the 'still climbing' part that is the most important. That'll just always be a big part of my story."
Sam referenced that pain in his YouTube caption, saying, "I have worked my broken heart to quits since my dear Katie left for Home. I do not deserve this. This is a scary step but I don't see what else to do here. I am ashamed of my family and embarrassed. I am beyond done. I have my spirit back. Get. Me. Out. Please."
That video has since been deleted.

Kim Kardashian Here are Her Options in Kanye Divorce War
-
Exclusive
- 3.9K shares
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are currently at war in their divorce, with both sides airing out grievances in a very public fashion ... and here are Kim's options to navigate some troubled waters.
The first option -- do nothing. Fact is ... the divorce is on track, and Kim has already asked the judge to restore her single status STAT. That should happen next month, and Kanye's not in a position to stop that.
Once the judge declares them divorced, 2 issues remain -- property distribution and child custody.
As for property -- that one's easy. TMZ broke the story ... Kim and Kanye have a prenup, and it essentially keeps their assets separate from one another. There are some joint interests, but it's already being sorted out and we're told there should be no problem sealing the deal when it comes to property.
Child custody is trickier. Kim said she's the primary caregiver, and from what we've seen, that's simply a true statement. There will almost certainly be issues regarding holidays, making decisions about how the kids are raised, conditions under which the kids can be taken out of state, and on and on. Worst case scenario ... a judge may have to lay down rules if Kim and Kanye can't reach an agreement, but our sources think it's likely they will eventually reach an agreement.
The more likely reason a judge could get involved in the short term all has to do with Kanye. If he keeps going after her on social media, Kim could go to court for a non-disparagement order ... forcing Kanye to zip it when it comes to airing his grievances over Kim. She could go to court now to get such an order, but our sources say so far there are no plans to do so.
Bottom line ... it's not unusual for flare-ups -- even wars -- to surface during divorce proceedings, but most of these settle. The smart money is on this one settling as well.

Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber keep parking their luxury cars in handicap spots at their Pilates class ... and despite criticism that it's illegal and wrong, they persist.
There they are again ... in the vast parking lot attached to a bunch of businesses -- including the Pilates studio Hot Pilates -- and their parking spots of choice are feet from their destination. The problem is -- it's reserved for the disabled.
We've seen them do this repeatedly over the last few weeks, but they continue to park there.
Our Kendall sources say the owner of the Pilates studio asked them to park in the handicapped spaces because their presence was causing a scene with photogs. Problem is -- the studio owner doesn't control the space -- it's for all the businesses in the parking lot.
We're also told on most days, their security teams will move the cars after Kendall and Hailey get into class -- and bring them after. If the cars aren't moved, security stands by and can get them out of the way if needed.
Our Hailey sources say there are other celebs who've been instructed to do the same thing when they're at the gym.
However, the law says there must be handicapped spots and people without placards are not allowed to park there.
