Trista Sutter has a perfectly good reason for being MIA from her husband and family last month -- it has nothing to do with the state of her marriage, and everything to do with her returning to reality TV.

ICYMI ... fans of the first ever 'Bachelorette' were sent into a tizzy when Trista's husband, Ryan Sutter, posted a cryptic message on social media about missing her on Mother's Day ... playing it very coy about her whereabouts.

Trista eventually resurfaced online, reuniting with her family in Mexico and giving an equally vague message about her mysterious disappearance. The whole thing was bizarre -- but now TMZ has learned exactly what was behind it.

Miranda Derrick says the new Netflix doc that makes it look like she's in a cult is causing her a bunch of problems -- namely, death threats ... and she is laying some of the blame at her family's feet.

The TikTok star hopped on social media Monday and posted a video, claiming folks are sending her all sorts of nasty comments ... including threats of physical violence. She says things are to the point where she doesn't feel safe.

'Dancing For The Devil' is the popular new Netflix doc taking a look at Miranda, characterizing her and others involved with 7M Films as brainwashed sheep beholden to an alleged cult leader, Dr. Robert Shinn.

The bull that went on a wild rampage at an Oregon rodeo on Saturday night will NOT be euthanized ... TMZ Sports has learned it's been sent back to its home ranch instead.

Brian Witt -- VP of Sisters Rodeo -- tells us the plan is for the animal, nicknamed "Party Bus," to receive further training at the farm to prevent a similar incident in the future. Witt says the bull will take the rest of the year off from bucking ... and if it receives proper clearance, it could potentially return to shows at a later date.

The news will surprise many ... considering Party Bus left multiple people injured when it leaped over fencing and wreaked havoc at the sold-out 84th Sisters Rodeo in Deschutes County.

Simon Cowell's gearing up to search high and low to discover the next One Direction -- and one former boy bander has a few ideas about how Simon can make lightning strike twice.

O-Town member Erik-Michael Estrada joined us on "The TMZ Podcast" ... and said one of the most important factors in forming the perfect modern-day boy band is diversity.

He pointed out while bands in the '90s and '00s -- like his and Backstreet Boys -- were quite diverse, bands before them were frustratingly either R&B or pop ... there was no in-between.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are heading for divorce, Carrie Underwood is heading for cover and Ryan Garcia is heading for legal trouble.

First up, on "TMZ Live," Harvey and Charles dive into what's going on with Bennifer 2.0 ... and it doesn't sound good, at least as far as their rocky marriage is concerned.

Film and TV actor Yani Gellman was 17 years old when he was cast to play Paolo -- the famous and hot Italian pop star who uses Lizzie McGuire to embarrass his former singing partner -- in Disney's 2003 family/comedy film "The Lizzie McGuire Movie."

Gellman was part of an ensemble cast, obviously starring Hilary Duff as the recent junior high graduate heading to Rome for a class trip, Lizzie, Adam Lamberg as Lizzie's intelligent best friend, David AKA Gordo, and Hallie Todd as Lizzie's loving mom, Jo.

From 2011-2012, Yani played Garrett Reynolds on "Pretty Little Liars."

Joe Jonas is wasting no time getting cozy with a mystery brunette during a romantic getaway in Athens -- turning the page pretty swiftly after his split with Stormi Bree.

The Jo Bro singer looked totally smitten with the mystery woman as they soaked up the Greek sunshine on the beach -- and judging by their body language, they're definitely past the talking stage.

A shirtless Joe was photographed hugging up on the beach babe, who looked stunning in a blue one-piece bathing suit and a white cap. Definitely not a bad rebound, we must say.

Chrisean Rock got thrown into handcuffs and hauled away by cops after she walked into a courthouse this week with her baby -- and now we have a sense of what it's all about.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the rapper was taken into custody Monday after she entered a courthouse in the San Fernando Valley ... where we're told Chrisean was swiftly pounced on by officers. BTW, Blueface's other baby mama, Jaidyn Alexis, was there too ... although it doesn't seem she was rolling with Chrisean.

Anyway, we're told 5 LAPD cops were already waiting for Chrisean when she walked in -- so it appears this might've been planned ahead of time ... and as soon as she entered, they were on her.

The trousers Tom Brady wore in his last-ever NFL game have a new owner ... and it only cost them a whopping $89,000!!!

TMZ Sports has learned -- the unique piece of sports memorabilia went to the highest bidder via Grey Flannel Auctions ... and the final price tag shattered the minimum $10k price.

The size 34 pewter and red pants are from the final game of Brady's Hall of Fame career ... when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC Wild Card game on January 16, 2023.

Tory Lanez' prison stay will likely outlast his marriage ... his wife of almost a year is divorcing him ... TMZ Hip Hop has learned.

According to court documents we obtained, Raina Chassagne filed her divorce petition last week, citing the usual irreconcilable differences as her reason for the split.

It doesn't appear she ever bothered to change her last name to Peterson to match Tory's legal name.

The Michigan man who shouldn't have been driving has yet another update to provide -- as he just took a major step in getting his license ... and it was documented on camera.

As you know, Corey Harris left a judge thoroughly stunned when he appeared in his virtual court hearing from behind the wheel of a car ... despite the fact he was facing a charge for driving with a suspended license.

The drama resulted in Harris being ordered to surrender himself last month -- which got even crazier when the judge realized he never had a license, in the first place. Things are on the up and up now, 'cause he got somewhat of a greenlight to get behind the wheel.

Khloe Kardashian went out to grab a bite with her ex, Tristan Thompson this weekend -- without any kids around -- and while some might've thought the spark was back ... it ain't.

KK and Tristan were photographed walking out of Nobu Malibu Sunday -- where they were clearly dining together ... even though they appeared to stagger their exits, and ended up leaving in separate cars.

There were lots of other people with them, but none of their children -- which raised alarms among some who thought they were back together ... but we're told that's just not the case.

Steve-O's making some serious moves, not to mention serious money .. 'cause he's already sold his L.A. home a month after listing it -- and the guy pocketed a good amount of dough.

The "Jackass" star's real estate agent, Cesar Melendrez tells TMZ, the house sold Monday for $2,135,000, which was $335,000 over the $1.799 million asking price -- so that's one sweet profit for Steve-O after only 34 days on the market.

The star's 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom property garnered some serious interest. In fact, we're told the home received an offer within just 4 days of hitting the market, despite the rising interest rates in L.A.

Sen. John Fetterman and his wife were involved in a car crash in Maryland this weekend, and cops say he was driving when he hit the car in front of him.

The Maryland State Police tell TMZ ... the Senator from Pennsylvania was behind the wheel of a Chevrolet Traverse traveling westbound on I-70 Sunday morning -- when he struck the rear of a Chevrolet Impala while on the road.

Cops say it's unclear what caused the crash ... and no citations were issued either, although the crash investigation remains active and ongoing, we're told.

The casino where George Lopez cut his set short this weekend is doubling down on their criticism of him -- saying the loud crowd wasn't heckling in their eyes ... they were just adoring fans.

A rep for Eagle Mountain Casino -- where George performed for a bit before bailing on the show early -- tells TMZ ... they stand by their initial response to the drama, in which they blasted GL for letting down his sold-out audience.

They add ... "We do not consider unruly behavior and unsafe environment to be compliments shouted at George. We should have had an opportunity for his private security, tour manager or George himself to let us know who they wanted ejected and we would have done so."

Two people ended up in the hospital after a small floatplane collided with a pleasure boat in Vancouver -- and the video footage is jaw-dropping ... 'cause it uses the vessel like a ramp.

Check out the chaos unfold from Saturday -- the Harbour Air floatplane was prepping for takeoff when it collided with the boat, not able to lift up off the water in time ... and the impact was so intense, it sent the boat spinning towards the plane before it started sinking.

BTW ... there's another angle of the impact, and it's just as dramatic watching it from the back.
