Some of the frat boys accused in a lawsuit of gang raping a Cornell University student went into "damage control" to try to save their reputations and futures at the Ivy League college, according to ABC News. 

ABC reporters recently reviewed text messages, phone records, and other documents connected to the alleged October 2024 sexual assault of the now-former Cornell student by 7 young men at Chi Phi fraternity house. 

Last month, the ex-student filed her lawsuit against the 7 frat brothers, claiming they drugged her with ketamine and then gang raped her during a night of drug and alcohol debauchery. 

Chris Brown's baby mama, Diamond Brown, says she's only bringing in a modest monthly income as she fights the singer for child support ... TMZ has learned.

The 28-year-old says she believes Chris earns around $5.5 million to $7.3 million per month.

Less than 24 hours before a woman was allegedly drugged with ketamine and gang raped at Cornell's Chi Phi frat house -- someone overdosed on the drug inside the same fraternity.

On Friday, Oct. 18, 2024 ... Chi Phi threw a party before a call was placed in the early hours of the 19th to Cornell University Police Department who found drugs and made a drug-related arrest ... The Cornell Daily Sun reported.

That person was then referred to Cornell’s Office of Student Conduct ... according to the Daily Sun.

Stephen Ferrell revealed to Jake Tapper on CNN Sunday that Pike is still hospitalized and "critically ill."

The punishments that Cornell University gave to the 7 Chi Phi frat brothers accused of gang rape ranged from immediate expulsion ... to writing a self-reflection essay.

The harshest punishments were reserved for Matthew Ingalls and Jonathan Newell -- who were both expelled.

The attorney representing the Jane Doe accusing 7 members of the Chi Phi fraternity at Cornell University of drugging and sexually assaulting her is claiming that evidence could have been dumped in a lake for all he knows ... and that there's more video and pics of the alleged gang rape.

Sitting down with CNN's Jake Tapper Sunday ... lawyer Thomas Giuffra raised concerns that crucial evidence -- including additional videos and photos -- was lost because a search warrant was never executed by authorities.

Giuffra said ... "They would have grabbed every single one of these phones of these guys. They would have downloaded all this material. I'm confident, knowing this day and age and the group that we're dealing with, that there were other photos, there were videos."

Cornell University's president delivered a message to students in the wake of accusations that 7 Chi Phi frat brothers allegedly drugged and sexually assaulted a woman ... and personally addressed Jane Doe's account.

In an 8-minute video shared to the university statements page ... Michael Kotlikoff admitted that this had been "one of the most difficult weeks in our history."

New York Governor Kathy Hochul is blasting Cornell University Police and the local D.A. over their handling of the alleged Cornell gang rape ... saying somebody knew more than they were letting on.

Hochul -- speaking Friday morning alongside Attorney General Letitia James -- said she was "deeply disturbed" that campus police sent prosecutors only a partial record after interviewing the woman ... adding the case hit home for her as a mother who once dropped her own daughter off at college.

4:20 PM PT -- The court granted the temporary restraining order for Olivier Martinez ... requiring Halle Berry to stay away 100 yards from him. She will be allowed to see their kid but only during court-ordered visitation which is two days a week and every other weekend ... until a hearing on October 16.

3:05 PM PT -- Halle Berry and her ex-husband Olivier Martinez have been ordered to participate in confidential mediation to discuss custody, according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.

Halle Berry's ex Olivier Martinez has filed a temporary restraining order against her ... alleging child abuse against the 12-year-old son they share ... TMZ has learned.

Olivier alleges Halle physically abused their son, Maceo, by jumping on him, putting her hands around his neck, and choking him last Saturday.

He claims Maceo called him and claimed Halle had physically attacked him and put him in a chokehold. He says it's not an isolated incident and there have been previous attacks.

New body cam footage of Luigi Mangione's arrest shows the moment cops placed him in cuffs inside a McDonald's after a 5-day manhunt.

In the clip obtained by CNN ... an officer asked Mangione to pull down his mask inside the Altoona, Pennsylvania restaurant ... before cops privately shared their belief that he was "100%" the suspect they were looking for.

After giving cops a fake ID, authorities then asked if his real name was Mark Rosario ... before Mangione confirmed his actual identity and admitted he "clearly shouldn't have" lied about who he was.

Halle Berry is firing back at her ex-husband Olivier Martinez after he accused her of abusing their 12-year-old son, and filed for a restraining order ... and she's raising Olivier's own history of violence.

Halle's attorney Marina Beck tells TMZ ... “To say this filing is entirely meritless and deliberately misleading would be an understatement. There is voluminous evidence, including numerous judicial rulings, that Olivier Martinez repeatedly violated court orders and interfered with necessary therapeutic and educational interventions to the detriment of his and Halle Berry's minor son Maceo - misconduct for which Mr. Martinez has already been legally sanctioned."

Beck adds, "In a way, today’s filing is not entirely unexpected from an individual with a well-documented history of erratic, possessive and violent behavior. Fortunately, Halle is used to this kind of outrageous conduct from Mr. Martinez and, while she is deeply saddened, she will not allow it to deter her from fighting for Maceo’s best interests and providing him with the love and support he needs.”

The order specifically states there is no gag order preventing either Citrone or his baby mom Amy Blunt from speaking about the case -- unless the two sides agree otherwise.
