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.

Former "Million Dollar Listing" star Fredrik Eklund says his new AI real estate expert isn't here to take jobs from agents like himself -- instead, he says this tech can spark market growth.

Fredrik joined us Wednesday on "TMZ Live" to introduce the world to Maya ... the world's first real estate guru completely powered by artificial intelligence. It's a product that took him and his team 18 months to get up and running, and he explained why he's so incredibly proud of what Maya can do.

He says Maya helps both sides of the housing market and even comes with her own personality -- and while you might think websites, like Zillow and Redfin, already simplify the home buying experience, Fredrik told us why Maya takes it to the next level.

Simply put ... the way you tour open houses is going to change dramatically in the next few years, and Fredrik believes Maya will be an integral part of that revolution.

AI has become a hot-button topic lately, with folks -- including Hollywood writers and actors -- worried the new tech will take peoples' jobs as it advances.

A poker player who lied about having terminal cancer in order to raise funds to get into the World Series of Poker Main Event is now apologizing for his fib ... saying this week, "What I did was wrong."

Rob Mercer -- a 37-year-old Vallejo, Calif. native -- came up with the tale back in June, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, in an effort to gather the $10,000 he needed to buy in to the world's most prestigious poker event in July in Las Vegas.

Mercer created a GoFundMe with the hopes of gathering the cash -- and it touched so many, it reportedly led to him earning between $30,000 and $50,000 ... allowing him entry into the tournament.

But, the Review-Journal reports several in the poker community became suspicious of Mercer over the way he had acted at the event. Mercer had reportedly provided vague responses to questions about his illness and failed to share concrete proof of his alleged terminal colon cancer diagnosis as well.

The outlet also reports several people saw him gambling in a casino, and when he was approached about the poor optics of that ... he was said to have been defensive.

Eventually, Mercer fessed up about everything, telling the Review-Journal on Tuesday, "I shouldn't have told people I have colon cancer. I did that just as a spur-of-the-moment thing when someone asked me what kind of cancer I had."

Mercer, however, said his story wasn't without at least some merit. He told the outlet he believes he does have undiagnosed breast cancer -- and he made up the colon cancer story because he was embarrassed to say he was dealing with a disease not as commonly found in men.

"I did lie about having colon cancer," said Mercer, who ended up getting eliminated from the Main Event early on. "I don't have colon cancer. I used that to cover my situation."

Mercer said due to his belief that he does have breast cancer, he has no intentions of returning the money he obtained through his GoFundMe.

As for his future on poker tables, Mercer told the Review-Journal he has quit playing due to "his deteriorating health." He told the news organization that he now spends around 18 hours a day in bed.

Tristan Thompson has been granted temporary guardianship over his little brother after he was left unable to care for himself following the sudden death of his mother.

A court hearing Wednesday determined the NBA player will now act as guardian to 17-year-old Amari. In the end, Tristan's petition for temporary guardianship was granted ... and a hearing on permanent guardianship was scheduled for November.

Tristan wasn't present in court during the hearing, but his attorney spoke on his behalf via Zoom.

TMZ broke the story ... Tristan filed for this a couple weeks ago, and the result today was expected. Nobody was contesting it, including Amari's father -- who Tristan says has been absent from his life.

Amari's dad, Trevor Douglas Thompson, did not receive notice of Wednesday's proceeding because his whereabouts are apparently unknown. Tristan's side claims Trevor has no involvement in Amari's life.

Now that Tristan has been given the green light to take responsibility for Amari, the issue of conservatorship is also on the table as he approaches 18. Amari cannot take care of himself, as he faces mental and physical disabilities, so Tristan is stepping in.

TMZ broke the story -- Tristan's mother, Andrea, died suddenly earlier this year -- which is why Tristan is making the moves to protect his brother. Amari has already been introduced to the KarJenners -- and Tristan will presumably continue to have their support through this.

The last thing that was touched on was money left behind in Andrea's probate estate -- which amounts to about $103k. It's not available for disbursement yet, but Tristan is going to oversee that cash for Amari as well.

Tory Lanez is officially on the inside ... ensconced at the prison where he'll likely spend the next 10 years, and the facility is no cakewalk, as multiple murders have happened there just this year.

North Kern State Prison in Delano, California houses around 4,000 inmates, and recently became the focus of local news media after a vicious crime within its walls.

Reports say convicted serial killer Ramon Escobar was recently charged with first-degree murder after allegedly killing his cellmate, 53-year-old Juan Villanueva back in February.

Villanueva was locked up for aggravated sexual assault of a child.

Additionally, on July 4, 25-year-old Ricardo Saldivar was found dead in his cell, and officials with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation are now investigating his death as a homicide.

There's also violence with inmates and correctional officers ... just this month a former inmate and convicted sex offender was found guilty in connection to a 2020 incident where he was accused of attacking a pair of staffers.

The facility is fitted with an electric fence around the perimeter ... but several inmates have reportedly been able to escape over the years.

Shannon Beador is rest and recovery mode after crashing her car and getting busted for DUI -- and new pics show her getting by with a little help from none other than her ex-boyfriend, John Janssen.

Check out these photos of the 'RHOC' star heading up to what we're told is John's pad in Newport Beach, CA -- just a few days after Shannon was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence ... not to mention what cops say was a straight up hit-and-run.

Shannon headed up the stairs Tuesday, with John following closely behind. You can see her left arm is tucked inside her jacket, and the photog on the scene says she might've been wearing a sling ... suggesting she was injured in the crash.

What's also interesting is seeing her with John --. remember, they'd gone through a nasty split, which devastated SB. Now, however, he seems to be in her corner again.

TMZ broke the story ... Shannon was taken to jail Saturday night over what cops say was a wild ride in her car that ended with her slamming into someone's home, damaging a concrete planter and damn near going through the front door.

We also obtained video of Shannon's alleged DUI incident ... and the footage appears to show her driving in an erratic manner right before the crash. Through her attorney, Shannon's said she's extremely apologetic and remorseful.

Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez are well on their way to finalizing their divorce, with only a few more details to hammer out, and we've got their full filings to check out.

TMZ broke the story, Ariana filed for divorce from Gomez Monday, and he filed his response almost immediately. Our sources said Ariana and Dalton have been super cordial through their divorce proceedings, working with care and respect behind the scenes to make sure most things were sorted out before actually filing the documents.

Ariana notes the two have a prenup in her filing, writing, "There are additional separate property assets and obligations of each party as mandated by the parties' Prenuptial Agreement."

Dalton's response filing almost totally mirrors Ariana's divorce docs -- both listing their date of separation as February 20, 2023.

As we first told you, even though there's a prenup in place, Ariana will still cut Dalton some sort of cash check ... but it won't be a crazy amount.

Anthony Anderson will fork over $20,000 every month to his ex-wife, Alvina Stewart, per his divorce judgment, but he could be paying even more, depending on how his career's going.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Anthony will pay the $20k as a base amount, and that number will go up if his gross annual earnings go over $2 million. In that case, he'll pay an additional 20% of his income.

In other words, the more Anthony makes, the more he's gotta shell out to Alvina -- that's how spousal support works -- but he's not walking out of the marriage empty-handed.

The docs say Anthony gets to keep their property in Encino, CA, and a 2004 Land Rover -- she gets the 2022 Mazda and their place in Houston. They also have a cemetery plot at Inglewood Park Cemetery, which they'll be selling and splitting the proceeds. RIP to that deal.

Lastly, the docs say there's a glock-19 firearm that's registered to Alvina but currently in Anthony's possession -- and he'll have to return that to law enforcement within the next 30 days.

Nina Agdal's restraining order against Dillon Danis is now in full effect ... after Logan Paul's boxing opponent failed to show up to a hearing on Tuesday.

A temporary restraining order was originally granted on September 7 ... forbidding Danis and anyone associated with him from posting any sexually explicit images of Agdal.

Danis was given nearly two weeks to file his opposition papers ... but after failing to do so, a New Jersey judge granted the restraining order on Wednesday, court docs obtained by TMZ Sports show.

The restraining order will remain active until further order from the judge. You'll recall, Agdal sued Danis over his incessant trolling posts about her on social media since his fight against Paul was announced last month.

The judge found Danis posting any explicit images of Agdal could result in her experiencing "irreparable emotional distress and reputational harm if Defendant continues to post such photographs on the internet."

The docs also lay out Agdal's repeated attempts to serve Danis the papers.

Video we obtained appears to show Danis telling the process server on Monday they had the wrong guy ... but his identifiable features look like a dead giveaway.

Some of the biggest names in hip hop have welcomed some pretty cute kiddos to the world over the years ... but can ya guess which rap icons conceived these tykes??

This lil' dude was born in 2021 to a duo of famous, bar-spitting parents -- who actually just took him to Disneyland to celebrate his 2nd birthday.

When mom and dad aren't bickerin' online, they're getting nasty backstage at an award show! Whose cash-counting baby do you think this is?

Here's another kiddo whose mama needs no introduction -- born in 2020, the child was given quite an interesting name ... one that must've made Goldilocks do a double take.

His rapping mother has won a total of more than 400 awards in her career since she was signed in 2009. So we gotta ask -- who is this super baby?

Tory Lanez is settling into his new life behind bars, getting transferred to state prison and posing for a new mug shot ... one where he looks none too pleased.

We just obtained the pic, Tory's hair looks messy and he's certainly not smiling ... sporting a scowl on his face. As for where he'll be housed, Tory checked in Tuesday at North Kern State Prison in Delano, California ... about 145 miles from Los Angeles.

As we reported, Tory was sentenced to 10 years behind bars last month for negligent discharge of a firearm, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm.

Tory can find plenty to do in order to stay busy while he's locked up, we're told the prison offers a bunch of different jobs with wages ranging from $.08 an hour for unskilled labor, and up to $.30 an hour for skilled labor ... but he's gotta apply for those gigs.

Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Alan Williams is no longer with the team -- the coach resigned from his position on Wednesday.

Confirmed details surrounding Williams' status remain unclear at the time of this post.

Williams -- who did not travel with the Bears for their matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the weekend -- released a statement regarding his resignation ... saying, "It is with great regret that I tender my resignation as the Defensive Coordinator of the Chicago Bears Football Club effective immediately."

"I am taking a step back to take care of my health and my family. I appreciate the opportunity to work with the Chicago Bears, a storied NFL franchise with a rich history. The McCaskey family is first-class and second to none. I would also like to thank Coach Matt Eberflus and General Manager Ryan Poles for giving me the opportunity to come to Chicago. I would also like to thank President Kevin Warren, the coaches and players of which I value the relationships and camaraderie."

Williams continued ... "I value the NFL shield and all that it stands for and after taking some time to address my health, I plan to come back and coach again."

Jennifer Garner moved hearts this week after trying to give a homeless man the shoes off her feet -- unquestionably a sweet move, and one we've actually seen several celebs make during L.A.'s unprecedented crisis.

Lending a hand to people in need has actually been an ongoing tradition in Hollywood for years ... as we've seen some very famous faces recently demonstrate their generosity.

Take, for example, Denzel Washington ... who, just a few years ago, went out of his way to help an unsheltered man on the streets of L.A., this at the height of the pandemic in May 2020.

This gentleman was apparently having an episode in West Hollywood, and Denzel came over to comfort him as police eventually arrived and got a handle on things. Even while officers were talking to the man, DW stuck around and provided him comfort. It was quite something.

A year prior, Lil Pump was doing his own food giveaway just in time for the holidays ... handing out tons of corndogs to folks who were on the street and hungry.

BTW ... Pump was doing this on Skid Row in DTLA -- one of the most heavily populated areas for unhoused folks in the city.

Jeremy Renner, too, has proven to have a charitable spirit ... he once took his daughter with him to hand out jackets, blankets and food to homeless people in Reno, NV.

At the time, JR did this right around Thanksgiving -- setting a good example for his kid.

Speaking of Turkey Day ... it's become a little bit of a give-back pastime over the years for celebs to team up with the L.A. Mission to dish out hot meals to the needy. There've been several stars who've partaken in this ... Danny Trejo, Emmy Rossum, Kevin Hart and Lisa Rinna, just to name a few.

There's even been some community service from controversial A-listers, like Kanye West.

Before he was persona non grata in Hollywood -- as a result of antisemitic remarks he spewed last year -- the dude was prominently kind to people less fortunate.

There's that memorable time he was handing out cash and Yeezys to one homeless man, in particular, in his own home city of Chicago -- back before he and Adidas split up -- and you could tell it meant a lot to this fella that he was gifting them for free.

Lindsey Vonn went from shredding the gnar to icing down her backside real quick on Tuesday ... 'cause she was attacked by a jellyfish several minutes into a wakesurfing sesh.

The former Olympic skier said the incident happened as she was trying to get up on her board while out somewhere on a large body of water.

"I literally rode over it," she said on her social media page.

The 38-year-old told her followers that the jellyfish bit and stung her so badly ... it caused her left hamstring to swell up and turn red. Eventually, it morphed into more of a road-rash-like wound.

Thankfully, after asking her fans for remedies, she seems to be doing better now ... even getting in a joke about it all on Wednesday.

"Think it’s gonna leave a mark for a while … 🤕," she said, "at least I caught some waves before!"

Of course, Vonn is no stranger to dealing with pain ... she just had yet another surgery on her knee back in July -- and has rehabbed from that just fine.

The company behind Tekashi 6ix9ine's Dummy Vapes brand is none too pleased with a rival company, claiming Fume is trying to poach their rainbow-haired biz partner!

TMZ Hip Hop obtained new court docs in which Dummy Vapes calls out Fume for allegedly deploying some dirty business tactics.

Dummy Vapes says it entered into a "celebrity collaboration" with Tekashi in February 2023 for him to exclusively endorse the company's vaping products.

According to the lawsuit, everything was going well until June when Dummy Vapes says it got wind of Fume, a competitor, contacting Tekashi in hopes of meeting with him ... and dangling a $1 million offer as the bait!!!

That didn't lure Tekashi, though, and Dummy Vapes claims Fume then targeted Tekashi's girlfriend Yailin la Mas Viral with a $250,000 contract.

Lo and behold by July 2023, Tekashi entered into a merchandising venture with Fume, according to the suit ... one highlighted by his controversial "Shaka Laka" collab with Kodak Black and Yailin. Fume even released 14 different vape flavors, with some even being named "Dumy Vapes by Fume."

Dummy Vapes says 6ix9ine eventually dropped a PSA where he clarified he was indeed Team Dummy Vapes while he only did business with Fume through his girlfriend's deal.

Things came to a head when Dummy Vapes claimed it dropped $60,000 for Tekashi to hop on a private jet to promote the brand at an industry event in Las Vegas ... only to see the rapper drop out "due to directives from Fume."

Dummy Vapes is now suing Fume for trying to interfere with their relationship with Tekashi, and seeking unspecified damages.
