'Challenge' Star Nelson Tho
"The Challenge" star Nelson Thomas has officially been charged with DWI for his near-fatal car crash from earlier this year.
Thomas was hit with the misdemeanor charge at the end of September in Texas, according to docs obtained by TMZ ... and officers said he had "bloodshot, glassy eyes" as he explained to them that another car had swerved in front of him before the crash.
Austin Mug ShotsThe docs say Thomas told cops he "only had 2-3 mixed alcoholic drinks," but officers claimed Thomas had a "strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emitting from his breath" while being treated for injuries at the hospital.

Shannon Sharpe Judge Dismisses Defamation Lawsuit ... Filed By Brett Favre
10/31/2023 9:04 AM PT TMZ/Getty Composite
Chalk up a win for Shannon Sharpe ... Brett Favre's defamation lawsuit against the Hall of Fame tight end was dismissed by a judge on Monday, ruling the 3x Super Bowl champ's comments are protected under the U.S. Constitution.
Brett sued Shannon for comments he made about Favre on FS1's "Undisputed" in 2022, characterized by the HOF signal caller as "egregiously false." Sharpe's comments concerned the ongoing fraud welfare scandal in Mississippi, where Favre, along with dozens of others, are accused of misusing tens of millions of dollars over a several-year period.
United States District Court Judge Keith Starrett issued his ruling in a filing, writing, "Sharpe's comments are constitutionally protected rhetorical hyperbole using loose, figurative language."
Starrett went on to dismiss the suit for those reasons.
Among Sharpe's comments, he accused Favre of “taking from the underserved” and stealing "money from people that really needed that money.”
GettyDespite the ruling, Favre doesn't seem done with Shannon ... a rep for the Packers legend told ESPN he was evaluating their next steps.
"We respectfully disagree with the court's decision. Mr. Sharpe's statements were unquestionably false and defamatory. We are considering our options," Brett's representative told the network.
As for Shannon, he was thrilled with the news.
"The United States District Court 4 the Southern District of Mississippi 2day dismissed Brett Favre’s defamation lawsuit against me. The court found the statements were protected by the 1st Amendment 2 the Constitution. Thanks 2 my legal team and their handling of this case. 🙏🏾🙏🏾"
GettyShannon wasn't the only retired NFL star turned media mogul in Favre's sights. BF also sued Pat McAfee for defamation. Brett withdrew the lawsuit after Pat apologized on the air for accusing Favre of stealing from people in need.
Favre has NOT been charged criminally and has adamantly denied any wrongdoing in the welfare case

Robert De Niro sostuvo algunos acalorados intercambios con el abogado de su ex asistente, diciendo incluso "todo esto es un disparate", en una audiencia del juicio civil en su contra.
El actor ganador del Oscar subió al estrado en un tribunal de Nueva York el lunes por la tarde, algo malhumorado mientras intentaba mantener su ira bajo control, la que por momentos se hizo visible.
Play video content Dejando el tribunalDurante su testimonio, De Niro dijo que había designado a Graham Chase Robinson como su contacto de emergencia y dependía de ella para darle tarjetas de felicitación a sus hijos.
Cuando el abogado de Robinson le preguntó si era una trabajadora diligente, De Niro respondió con sorna: "No después de todo lo que estoy pasando ahora."
GettyEn otro momento del interrogatorio, el actor se acaloró al defender a su novia, Tiffany Chen, quien se enfrentó repetidamente a Robinson y la acusó de estar enamorada de la superestrella. De manera punzante, De Niro testificó que ambos "toman decisiones juntos".
GettyEntonces, el abogado de Robinson insinuó que De Niro molestó a su cliente una mañana de 2017 cuando necesitó que lo llevaran al hospital.
De Niro parecía cabreado cuando declaró: "¡Esa fue una vez que me rompí la espalda al caer por las escaleras!". Añadió que pospuso la llamada a Robinson varias horas tras el accidente, con el fin de contactarla a una hora más razonable.
GettyLa mayor bronca se produjo cuando De Niro defendió lo que describió como su buen trato a Robinson tras la compra de un adosado de cinco dormitorios en Manhattan.
De Niro declaró: "No es como que le esté pidiendo que salga a raspar y fregar el suelo. Así que todo esto son tonterías".

TMZ.comRoberto De Niro afirma que su ex ayudante lo amenazó con denunciarlo
De 2008 a 2019, Robinson trabajó como asistente personal de De Niro y finalmente fue ascendida a vicepresidenta de producción y finanzas en Canal. En la demanda, Canal alegó que Robinson veía Netflix todo el día mientras trabajaba, entre otras quejas.
Robinson presentó una contrademanda de 12 millones de dólares contra Canal y De Niro por supuesta violación a la Ley de Derechos Humanos de Nueva York. Afirmó que De Niro le infligió un grave estrés emocional y daños a su reputación, acusándolo de llamarla "zorra" y "mocosa".

Robert De Niro testified at his civil trial against his former assistant ... and he got into some heated exchanges with opposing counsel, uttering at one point, "This is all nonsense!"
The Oscar-winning actor took the stand in an NYC courtroom for most of Monday afternoon -- and he appeared grumpy as he tried to keep his anger in check, which, at times, leaked out.
Play video content LEAVING COURTDuring his testimony, De Niro said he had previously made Graham Chase Robinson his emergency contact and depended on her to get greeting cards for his kids.
When Robinson's attorney asked if she was a diligent worker, De Niro sneeringly replied, "Not after everything I’m going through now."
GettyAt another point under cross-examination, De Niro became hot under the collar, while coming to the defense of his girlfriend, Tiffany Chen, who repeatedly clashed with Robinson and accused her of being in love with the superstar. In a pointed manner, De Niro testified that he and Chen "make decisions together."
GettyThen Robinson’s lawyer implied that De Niro annoyed his client one morning in 2017 when he needed to be brought to the hospital.
De Niro seemed pissed, testifying, “That was one time when I cracked my back falling down the stairs!” He added that he put off calling Robinson after the accident, waiting several hours to contact her at a more reasonable time.
GettyThe biggest blowup came when De Niro defended what he described as his good treatment of Robinson after purchasing a five-bedroom Manhattan townhouse.
De Niro testified, “It is not like I’m asking for her to go out there and scrape floors and mop the floor. So this is all nonsense!"

Ryan McKenna, famoso por tomarse una selfie que se hizo muy viral con Justin Timberlake, está en más problemas legales, ya que la policía dice que violó algunos acuerdos de su libertad condicional.
Según los nuevos documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, Ryan fue detenido a principios de este mes en Florida después de que su oficial descubriera que había viajado fuera del estado sin su permiso.
Collier County SheriffEl oficial dice que empezó a sospechar cuando Ryan le envió un correo electrónico diciendo que estaba "inseguro" de las condiciones pendientes para octubre, a pesar de que ya se había registrado para el mes.

Ryan McKenna, famous for snapping a viral Super Bowl selfie years ago with Justin Timberlake, is in more legal trouble -- this time cops say he pulled a few no-nos for a guy on probation.

JONATHAN MAJORS La película "Magazine Dreams" es suspendida indefinidamente
10/28/2023 3:04 PM PT Getty
Jonathan Majors se suponía que tenía una película por salir este año, pero eso no pasará por el momento, pues Disney ha decidido ponerla en pausa, en medio de su juicio pendiente por asalto.
"Magazine Dreams" ha sido cancelado indefinidamente por estudio, que tenía previsto estrenar la película bajo su filial Searchlight Pictures a principios de diciembre. A partir de ahora, sin embargo, la fecha de lanzamiento de la película se ha movido a "no fijado".
Sundance InstituteEl momento no es ninguna sorpresa, teniendo en cuenta que el juicio penal de Jonathan Majors ha sido programado para el 29 de noviembre, solo una semana más o menos antes del estreno inicial de "Magazine Dreams". Teniendo en cuenta que Disney no sabe qué camino tomarán las cosas en los tribunales, están cubriendo sus apuestas por él.
Por extraño que parezca, se procedió con la temporada 2 de "Loki", que cuenta con Majors en gran medida, y que en realidad ha recibido críticas muy favorables en los últimos tiempos, especialmente por su actuación como Kang.
Por un lado, Disney parece haberlo apoyado sacando adelante "Loki" sin problemas, pero, por otro lado, están frenando el rodaje de una película centrada exclusivamente en él como protagonista.
Por supuesto, está la huelga de actores en curso, que también podría estar influyendo en ello.
GettyPara enredar las aguas aún más, están todos los giros que ha tomado el caso judicial de Majors, incluyendo el hecho de que la policía de Nueva York detuvo a su denunciante y ex novia, Grace Jabbari, bajo sospecha de asalto, a pesar de que la oficina del fiscal de Manhattan dice que no la están procesando.
En otras palabras, su detención no servirá de nada y resultó ser un movimiento muy extraño de parte de los policías, dando a entender que simplemente no están en sintonía con el D.A. allí.
Gallery Registro de seguridad Launch GalleryEl D.A. mientras tanto, ha añadido munición adicional a sus pruebas, con un informe de la policía del Reino Unido que sugiere que una mujer separada acusó a Jonathan Majors de violencia también. Los detalles de ese supuesto incidente, sin embargo, no están claros.

Gallery Majors en Hollywood Launch Gallery GettyEn cualquier caso, todo saldrá a la luz muy pronto, después de un montón de retrasos, la pelea finalmente va ante un jurado y suponemos que sabremos cuál es el destino de Majors con Disney para entonces.

Jonathan Majors 'Magazine Dreams' Film Yanked Indefinitely Amid Assault Trial
10/28/2023 3:04 PM PT Getty
Jonathan Majors was supposed to have an Oscar-buzzy film come out this year -- but that ain't happening now, 'cause Disney's hitting pause ... this amid his pending assault trial.
The actor's bodybuilding drama, "Magazine Dreams," has been yanked indefinitely by the Mouse House ... which was due to release this flick under its Searchlight Pictures subsidiary in early December. As of now, though, the film's release date has been moved to "unset."
Sundance InstituteThe timing is no surprise, considering JM's criminal trial has been scheduled to start on Nov. 29 ... just a week or so before "Magazine Dreams" was originally set for its debut. Considering Disney doesn't know which way things will go in court -- they're hedging their bets on him.
Strangely enough ... they proceeded with season 2 of "Loki," which heavily features Majors -- and which has actually gotten rave reviews of late, especially for his performance as Kang.
The guy finds himself in limbo at the moment -- on the one hand, Disney seems to have stood by him by not replacing him in the MCU and by trotting out "Loki" without issue ... but on the other hand, they're slowing their roll on a film that solely focuses on him as the star.
Of course, there's the actors' strike that's ongoing -- so that, too, could be playing into this.
GettyMuddying up the waters even further, of course, have been all the twists and turns in Majors' case itself ... including the fact that the NYPD arrested his accuser/ex-GF, Grace Jabbari, on suspicion of assault -- even though the Manhattan D.A.'s office says they're not prosecuting.
In other words, her arrest will amount to nothing -- and it proved to be a very strange move by the cops ... showing that they're simply not on the same page with the D.A. there.
Gallery The Security Footage Launch GalleryThe D.A. meanwhile has added apparent extra ammo to their evidence war chest -- throwing in a UK police report of alleged DV in England ... suggesting a separate woman has accused JM of violence as well. The details of that alleged incident, however, aren't clear.
Then, there are all those surveillance pics/videos of Jabbari the night of ... looking quite alright after allegedly getting brutalized. Like we said, the whole thing has been weird as hell.
Gallery Majors in Hollywood Launch Gallery GettyIn any case, all will come to light soon enough -- after a lot of delays, this thing's finally going before a jury ... and we suppose we'll learn what Majors' fate is with Disney by then.

YouTuber Jack Doherty His Security Knocks a Dude Out ... Once Did Same for DaBaby

A YouTuber's bodyguard punched a guy's lights out -- all of which was caught on video ... and which reeks of déjà vu considering he did this before while working for DaBaby.
We're talking about Jack Doherty, who's pretty famous among the Gen Z crowd ... and who posted a wild clip of a violent altercation that went down Friday night during what looks to be some sort of Halloween party here in L.A. alongside fellow YouTuber Corinna Kopf.
X / @dohertyjackkIt looks like Jack was arguing with a couple guys who were rolling with Corinna and her crew -- all stemming from an apparent snub she dished out to Jack while at the party -- and they're all bickering back and forth for a while ... until this security dude rolls up.
Eventually, he confronts one of the fellas Jack's facing off with ... and they start to exchange words -- which ultimately ends with JD's hired muscle throwing a haymaker out of nowhere.
X / @dohertyjackkThe guy who gets punched -- who's way smaller than the bodyguard -- falls straight to the ground ... and his friends (including Corinna) start to yell at the perpetrator, asking him why he did that. The bodyguard backs away and tries cussing them out in his defense.
Jack seemed happy to post the clip online, and he added "context" underneath ... writing, "they were pressing us," which seems to mean that the guys he was initially arguing with were threatening him. But based on the longer version of this incident ... that's iffy at best.
Play video content SEPTEMBER 2019 KNOCKED OUT COLDNow, here's the kicker ... this bodyguard was actually wrapped up in something similar a few years back while working for DaBaby -- something the Internet was quick to remember.
We actually covered this at the time ... DB was performing in New Orleans, when he started getting swarmed by fans as he waded into the crowd -- at which point, this same man (who was working for DaBaby) threw a similar punch ... only then, he KO'd a freaking lady.
TMZ/X/@dohertyjackk CompositeA closer look shows it is, indeed, the same man ... and we've figured out who the hell he is. He goes by Kane Kongg on social media. He's a content creator himself -- but obviously does bodyguard work on the side for the rich and famous.
Kane hasn't addressed this latest violent moment -- but when the DaBaby thing happened, he hopped online and tried clarifying what happened, chalking it up to him doing his job. Not sure that's gonna fly this time around though -- this hit looked completely unprovoked.

Cheryl Hines says The White House can no longer avoid husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s need for Secret Service protection ... not in the wake of 2 scary incidents at their home.
The actress and comedian joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday and told us she had a front-row seat to the intruder who attempted to get inside their home, not once but twice.
GettyCheryl says she was on Instagram Live at the family's Brentwood estate Wednesday morning when she looked out the window and noticed a strange man in the yard, being apprehended by security.
For Cheryl, it was an alarming moment hitting way too close to home ... and we don't just mean the fact it happened at their home. There's another dimension to this -- the Kennedy's tragic family history.
APRobert was only 9 years old when his uncle, President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated in Dallas in 1963, and then just 5 years later his father, Robert F. Kennedy, was shot and killed in L.A. while running for President.
Cheryl says the home intruder underscores the need for RFK Jr. to have Secret Service protection and not just private security watching his back as he runs as an Independent in the 2024 Presidential Election.
GettyShe says they've tried to get President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security to authorize Secret Service protection for RFK Jr. but have been denied ... which she finds very puzzling.
DHS' explanation for rejecting the request, at that time, was RFK Jr. wasn't polling high enough -- at least 15 percent -- to warrant protection, but the most recent poll shows him pulling 19% in a 3-way race with Biden and Trump.
Gallery Cheryl Hines and RFK Together Launch Gallery GettyShe's hoping Biden reconsiders and seems to think The White House may be denying RFK Jr. protection because of the very real chance he'll be a big factor in the outcome next year.
If that's the case, Cheryl says the White House can't ignore this latest incident ... which we first reported.
Gallery Celebrity Burglaries Launch Gallery Getty/TMZIt's a powerful conversation ... and it's interesting to see how Cheryl is so careful with her words when talking about RFK Jr.'s fight for Secret Service protection.

Lizzo's tour staffers have her back in the sexual harassment lawsuit leveled against the singer by some former dancers ... saying Lizzo promoted a positive environment and never forced anyone to go to sex shows they didn't want to attend.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, 18 independent members of Lizzo's touring company wrote declarations standing with Lizzo and disputing the claims made against her by three of her former dancers ... Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez.
Kiara Mooring, a dancer on the tour, is pushing back against claims there was an unspoken rule about facing punishment for not going out with Lizzo when invited -- as the dancers claim in their suit.
She says, "This claim also makes no sense because plenty of the dancers (myself included) did not go to Bananenbar that night and we still have our job dancing with Lizzo."
AlamyRemember ... Bananenbar hosts Amsterdam's famed banana sex show, and it's where the dancers suing Lizzo claim she sexually denigrated them by allegedly forcing them to touch the nude performers.
Melissa Locke, another dancer, says she remembers talking with two of Lizzo's accusers, Davis and Rodriguez, the morning after the Bananenbar outing. She says, "They never said they felt uncomfortable or pressured. They were very enthusiastic about what a great night out they had."
Melissa adds ... "I remember telling them, 'That sounds like so much fun, I wish you had woken me up to go with you.' They agreed that it was a fun night and told me that they went out in the Red Light District after. They did not complain or sound upset in any way."
Davis claims Lizzo body-shamed her for gaining weight and used an admission of an eating disorder to justify firing her, but two other dancers say they aren't buying it.

I have experienced racial discrimination, sexual harassment and body shaming in this industry, but never while working with Lizzo. In fact, Lizzo’s tour felt like the opposite of many negative experiences I have had as a dancer."
Asia Banks backs up Alaini, saying ... "I was the biggest dancer on the tour. Lizzo always went out of her way to make me feel secure and confident in my body, including by making sure I was comfortable in every single costume for the show."

"To the contrary, everyone on the tour was genuinely concerned about Davis, not because she had gained weight, but because she was lax about her performances, her hygiene and her health."
Chawnta Van, a dancer, says she never experienced or witnessed racism on tour. She says Lizzo supports and empowers Black women and "would never tolerate any racism on tour."

Remember ... Noelle claims she feared Lizzo was going to physically attack her during a May 3 meeting where she resigned, but another dancer who says she was there claims, "Lizzo never got near Rodriguez or in her face."

The declarations are part of a motion filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court by Lizzo’s attorneys seeking to dismiss most if not all of the claims.
