Donald Trump may have opened Pandora's box with his pardon of Todd and Julie Chrisley ... 'cause now yet another reality star is coming out of the woodwork begging the prez for a favor.

Joe Giudice took to Instagram Thursday to straight-up beg President Trump for a pardon so he can return to the U.S. to visit his kids -- more than a decade after he was deported.

Giudice writes, "I was raised in Jersey, I’m a father of four amazing daughters, and I just want to be allowed to visit them again. President Trump, I respect you and I’m asking for a second chance."

Diddy is being sued by a man who claims Diddy sodomized him at a house party after telling him, "You're about to get that Diddy love."

The Bad Boy Records founder is being sued by a man named Brandon Adams, who claims he was invited to a party Diddy was hosting in 2021 ... only to show up and be sexually assaulted.

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Adams claims he got the invite from a chauffeur he met at an L.A. gas station, and when he showed up, he says he was told to keep his phone in the car. Inside the bash, he claims he saw celebs -- but didn't interact with them -- and had some alcoholic drinks that made him feel dizzy.

Diddy's son Justin Combs lured a woman to Los Angeles with promises of getting her a job in entertainment, but when she arrived in L.A. she was kept in a house for days and ended up being raped by multiple men, including Diddy ... at least according to a new lawsuit.

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the woman claims Justin initially contacted her through Snapchat in 2017 and they messaged back and forth, with the woman eventually sending Justin risqué photos at his request. She says after she sent the snaps, Justin offered to fly her to L.A. for a weekend.

The woman says she was interested in working in entertainment and told Justin as much in their conversations ... and she claims Justin told her a trip to L.A. would help her potential career, telling her if she came, he would get her a job using his and his famous father's connections.

Prosecutors in Diddy's criminal trial are telling jurors the Mann Act charges against Diddy are a slam dunk ... the feds say it's painfully obvious Diddy is guilty of interstate transportation for prostitution.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik is taking the reins on the government's closing argument and she told jurors Thursday the prostitution counts are super simple.

Slavik told jurors the charge does not require force, fraud, coercion, or even consent to find Diddy guilty ... she says Diddy committed a crime if the jury finds he transported people across state lines for the purpose of having sex at freak-offs.

Scott Wolf's request for a restraining order has been granted ... and, for the time being, his estranged wife Kelley isn't supposed to go anywhere near their kids.

The "Party of Five" star was granted the restraining order in Utah Wednesday afternoon ... with the judge noting in his decision Kelley has "engaged in an escalating pattern of behavior that poses a substantial threat or immediate and irreparable harm" to the couple's kids.

The judge awarded temporary sole physical and temporary sole legal custody of their three children ... and, until further notice, Kelley "shall not have any parent-time or contact" with Scott or the kids.

Prosecutors in Diddy's criminal trial are telling jurors how they can find him guilty of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion ... the feds say one strike and Diddy's out.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik is handling the government's closing argument ... and on Thursday, she told jurors if there's a single freak-off jurors find was the result of force, threats of force, fraud, or coercion by Diddy ... then they should find him guilty of sex trafficking.

Slavik told the jury the feds aren't arguing all of the freak-offs Diddy had over the years with ex-girlfriends Cassie Ventura and "Jane" were examples of sex trafficking ... but she says if jurors find one instance of force, fraud or coercion, Diddy's cooked.

Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Daphne Joy is living in a whole different reality -- while he faces the heat in his federal criminal trial, she’s out pumping gas in her luxury whip.

Daphne was serving gas-station glam Wednesday in L.A. -- rocking a perilously low-cut black top that flashed her lace bra, paired with skintight bootcut jeans that put her curves on full display.

The model was lookin' fire -- full glam makeup, flawless flowing locks catching the breeze, all while casually handling business at the pump like a total queen.

Daphne's not only physically thousands of miles away from Diddy's legal drama ... she seems mentally detached from it, because she looked like she was in great spirits.

Federal prosecutors are presenting their closing argument in the Diddy criminal trial ... and they're telling the jury it won't take much to find Diddy guilty of racketeering conspiracy.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik told jurors in court Thursday … to convict on the RICO charge, they only need to find Diddy agreed he or another member of his organization would commit at least two criminal acts under that charge.

Those acts, prosecutors say, include drug distribution, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and sex trafficking of Cassie Ventura and "Jane."

Liver King's not going to hold domain over all of Austin, Texas for the foreseeable future ... 'cause if he sees Joe Rogan coming, he's gotta head the other way.

According to Liver King's release conditions, the social media influencer must stay at least 200 yards away from Rogan and his family members ... and, there's a no-contact order as well -- so, no hitting him up over the phone or social media either.

Liver King can't possess any weapons ... and, within a week of his release, he needs to go in for a mental health evaluation.

A member of the "Grandpa Robbers" gang, who was just convicted in the multimillion-dollar heist of Kim Kardashian's jewels in Paris, has reportedly died.

Didier Dubreucq's reported death comes as he'd been battling lung cancer -- and just a month after he was sentenced to 7 years in prison -- with 5 suspended -- in connection with the 2016 case.

The convicted criminal was hospitalized during the armed robbery trial as he received treatment for his cancer. He was not in court as his guilty verdict was announced on May 23.

The Seattle man accused of being involved in the bombing of a fertility clinic in Palm Springs last month was found dead in the Los Angeles federal prison Tuesday ... and now we have a better idea how he died.

Federal sources tell TMZ ... Daniel Park -- who was being housed in the Metropolitan Detention Center downtown -- stepped up on a table on an upper tier of the facility and jumped ... plummeting to the ground floor.

Prison staff attempted life-saving measures ... but authorities said the 32-year-old was declared dead at the hospital later that day. It's unclear how many stories he fell.

Scott Wolf is seeking court-ordered protection against his estranged wife amid a nasty divorce.

Diddy's federal criminal trial is entering the final stages, and now we have a sense of how closing arguments will play out ... or at least the schedule and timeline are taking shape.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys were in court Wednesday while jurors were not present, and they hashed out a schedule for closing arguments ... with prosecutors going for 4 hours starting Thursday morning, and the defense making their case the following day.

It was a pretty boring day inside the courtroom, with Diddy keeping a singular AirPod in his ear for much of the proceedings and mostly looking down at his lap. Two of Diddy's sons, Quincy and Justin, were in court too, and they were fighting to stay awake, as was much of the gallery.

The man accused of killing "King of the Hill" voice actor Jonathan Joss is claiming self-defense -- according to his lawyer.

Attorney Nico LaHood says Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez -- known as "Freddy" to friends and family -- is pleading not guilty, and insists he's innocent, adding ... "It’s difficult for anyone who's been accused of something they didn’t do, especially murder."

Alvarez was arrested earlier this month after allegedly shooting and killing his neighbor, Joss, during a heated argument in San Antonio, Texas, according to cops. The late actor’s husband, Tristan Kern de Gonzales, immediately dubbed it a hate crime -- claiming homophobic slurs were hurled by Alvarez before the fatal shot.

2:50 PM PT -- Jonathan Feldman, General Counsel at Therabody, tells TMZ ... “We believe the claims in the lawsuit are without merit. Therabody has a proud history of innovation and collaboration, and we take intellectual property rights very seriously. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these allegations and look forward to sharing the facts through the appropriate legal process.”

Celebrity-approved chiropractor and MoveU founder Dr. Mike Wasilisin is cracking more than backs ... 'cause he's taking legal action against Therabody for allegedly stealing his designs.

“Love Island” contestant Cashel Barnett has been held in a Utah jail since last month, facing charges of allegedly brutally assaulting his ex-girlfriend in front of their child ... and now he's facing even more felonies for allegedly sexually assaulting the same victim.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ … Utah prosecutors leveled three new charges against the reality star on Tuesday -- including aggravated sexual assault, aggravated assault, and domestic violence in the presence of a child.

Per the docs ... Cashel slapped and choked his ex-girlfriend while sexually assaulting her last November. This after he allegedly withheld any physical contact for a month because the alleged victim asked him to get a job to help support their child.
