Celebrity Feuds

Hulk Hogan and his wife Sky Daily may have just responded to the Hogan family drama ... and they seem amused.

The pair posted a joint video on Instagram Saturday night looking quite entertained as they chowed down on some popcorn. The video had no caption and neither said a single word ... but the message seems pretty clear.

The post seems like no coincidence considering the massive amount of drama that went down this week with his ex-wife, Linda Hogan, and his daughter, Brooke Hogan.

Linda Hogan's feud with her daughter Brooke has her defending Hulk Hogan ... calling him a great father who doesn't deserve to be iced out from Brooke's life.

In a shocking twist, Hulk's ex-wife tells TMZ ... Brooke cutting off the family for "bogus, selfish, childish reasons" will have long-term consequences -- ensuring her kids never realize their grandfather is the great Hulk Hogan.

Linda says she's sad she won't be a grandmother to them ... but, she wants the kids to know how big a star their granddad was.

Brooke Hogan's husband is standing up for his better half -- seemingly lashing out at Linda and Hulk Hogan despite not using either of their names.

Steven Oleksy -- a former professional hockey player -- took to social media Saturday to defend his wife from numerous attacks on her character ... dropping a lengthy social media post in her defense.

It's a long message ... and, we highly recommend reading it all yourself -- but, basically, Steven says he can no longer stand by while his wife faces vicious attacks from Linda.

Linda Hogan is ready for all-out war with Brooke after her daughter's shocking allegations of abuse ... 'cause their one-time rift has turned into an all-out feud that may get litigious fast!

Here's the deal ... the mother-daughter "Hogan Knows Best" duo are in a bitter public back-and-forth over their falling out years ago, which came to a head on Friday when legal threats were leveled.

Linda -- Hulk's ex-wife -- tells TMZ ... she's ready to take Brooke to court if her smear campaign continues ... namely her daughter accusing her of physical abuse when she was a child.

Brooke Hogan came out swinging in a statement of her own after her mother, Linda Hogan, tearfully called the Hogan family "the worst mess" and claimed she has no idea why her daughter won't speak to her.

Brooke shared a lengthy note on Instagram Thursday night, explaining she had no contact with her mom after being "EXTREMELY" verbally and mentally abused since her childhood, which she said sometimes turned physical. She also says her mother's behavior in the video she posted Thursday is "mild" compared to what she has witnessed for the "greater portion" of her life.

Sources close to Brooke tell TMZ that the physical abuse claims mentioned in her Instagram post were not made by her father, Hulk Hogan.

Further explaining her frustration, the singer and actress says she's been asked to "defend poor behavior to the public and have done so out of love" ... only to learn she was "misinformed, manipulated, and lied to."

LeBron James and Stephen A. Smith can end their feud once and for all with their FISTS ... 'cause TMZ Sports has learned a popular boxing promotion is drafting an offer to make a fight happen!!

King James and the ESPN talent have exchanged verbal blows ever since their infamous confrontation at the Lakers game earlier this month ... and on Wednesday, the argument turned to hypothetical violence -- with SAS claiming if LeBron put his hands on him, he would've retaliated with a punch.

After LeBron trolled the hell outta Smith by posting his old training vids, Celebrity Boxing founder Damon Feldman immediately got to work ... and started making calls to rich investors in hopes of putting together the funds needed to lock down a matchup of this caliber.

7:27 AM PT -- We knew this was coming -- Stephen A. Smith opened Thursday's "First Take" going off on LeBron ... saying his nemesis' real issue stems from the fact he refuses to consider him the greatest NBA player over Michael Jordan.

Smith made it clear he's never going to back down from his stance ... and he's not going anywhere.

As for his colleague Pat McAfee giving his rival a platform, SAS doesn't blame him one bit -- saying no one would pass up on an interview with James.

Smith also addressed James' trolling with his boxing vid ... and he even admits it wasn't his best work, but claimed he would've looked much better if he wasn't injured at the time.

LeBron James hit the game-winning shot for the Lakers on Wednesday, but the real dagger came on Instagram later in the night ... when he ruthlessly clapped back at Stephen A. Smith AGAIN by mocking his fighting skills.

The King added another chapter to the beef after L.A. beat the Indiana Pacers ... clearly getting wind of the ESPN host claiming earlier in the day he would've "swung" on the four-time champ if he had put his hands on him during their Crypto.com Arena confrontation a few weeks back.

Even though SAS admitted it probably would've resulted in getting his ass whooped, LeBron made sure the talking head knew how he felt about the comments ... sharing an old video of one of his boxing sessions, which didn't necessarily mimic a Ryan Garcia left hook.

Stephen A. Smith says he and LeBron James could have been the next Will Smith and Chris Rock ... if things got physical during their infamous courtside quarrel.

The TV host just hopped on his podcast and responded to LBJ dissing him on Wednesday's episode of "The Pat McAfee Show."

Stephen A. says if LeBron would have put hands on him when he confronted him at Crypto.com arena, "I would've immediately swung on him. Immediately."

Nelly is looking back at his short-lived rap beef with Eminem with a facepalm ... signals got crossed and he jumped the gun while on MTV like a jackass!!!

The "Country Grammar" rap star recently told Bootleg Kev he misinterpreted something Eminem had said and went on 'TRL' and set off the battle -- quipping how he eats "M&M's candy" and St. Louis was a no-fly zone for the Detroit hip hop legend!!!

Em fired back, casually ripping Nelly on the mic with a line about "Stomping in my Air Force Ones."

George Clooney is doubling down on his decision last year to stop supporting Joe Biden during the presidential election, prompting a brutal response by Donald Trump.

Clooney — the actor and lifelong Democrat — sat down for an interview with "60 Minutes" that aired Sunday — and he talked all about his new play on Broadway, "Good Night and Good Luck," that centers around legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow.

At one point during the Q & A, "60 Minutes" correspondent Jon Wertheim asked Clooney about his decision to pull his support from Biden during the 2024 presidential election against Trump.

Anna Wintour's Met Gala guest list just took a hit -- Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds won’t be gracing the red carpet this year, TMZ has learned.

A source close to the couple tells TMZ ... Blake and Ryan are skipping the gala this year -- but before you jump to conclusions, it’s got nothing to do with their legal war against Justin Baldoni, 'cause the decision to pass on the May event was made way before that drama unfolded.

Blake has become iconic over the years when it comes to the Met Gala, with her themed red carpet looks always making a huge impact -- but she and Ryan don’t always show up, and they actually skipped last year, too!

50 Cent has set his beef with Diddy aside -- all for the greater good of Kanye West's welfare!!!

On Thursday, Ye made sure 50 heard what he said loud and clear by doubling down on his fury towards Jay-Z and Beyoncé's kids with a post to replace the one he deleted yesterday.

In the latest post, Ye screamed, "50 I SAID JAY Z AND BEYONCES KIDS ARE R******* LETS MAKE THE HOT WATER BOILING HOT OR LIKE POPLE SAY BROILING HOT." 50 had admitted he'd taken the day off from social media posting in the wake of Ye's tirade ... and now thinks Diddy's advice from their phone call earlier this week is the right way to go!!!

Ryan Reynolds is trying to run from the very firestorm he helped ignite by trying to get cut out of the legal battle between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively ... at least according to Justin's attorney.

Bryan Freedman is blasting Ryan for filing a request to dismiss Baldoni's lawsuit against him, telling TMZ ... "Mr. Reynolds’ exploitation of his enormous power in Hollywood continues, this time arrogantly asking to be dismissed from the case despite his publicly documented involvement extending far beyond just being a 'supportive spouse.' Mr. Reynolds was a key player in the scheme, defaming Justin around Hollywood, strong-arming WME into dropping Justin as a client, and trying to destroy Justin’s career however possible."

As we reported, Ryan filed the dismissal docs Tuesday, calling Justin "thin-skinned" for complaining the so-called "Nicepool" character from "Deadpool & Wolverine" was mocking him.

Ryan Reynolds is asking a judge to let him out of the ongoing legal saga between Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively ... and he's taking some shots at Baldoni in the process.

Ryan just filed a motion to dismiss Baldoni's defamation suit against him.

According to the legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Ryan says Justin is showing his true colors in filing suit against him ... claiming Baldoni took his "thin-skinned outrage over a movie character" and decided to go after Ryan in court ... a reference to the satirical, woke Nicepool character from the new 'Deadpool' movie, which JB thought was an obvious shot at him.

The artist formerly known as Kanye West is accusing virtually all his former collaborators of betrayal ... including Kendrick Lamar, Tyler, The Creator, Ty Dolla $ign ... in his words, nobody gets a pass!!!

Ye's latest rap rant appears to have been triggered by Playboi Carti pinging Kim Kardashian to get North West on a feature ... hours after Kim shut down Ye's attempts of getting North on a song with Diddy!!!

Carti released his big streaming album "Music" last week, with Ye only appearing on one of the 30 tracks -- as a producer -- and Ye seeing Carti attempt to backdoor the North West track was the final straw.

11:58 AM PT -- Drake's lead attorney Mike Gottlieb tells TMZ ... “UMG wants to pretend that this is about a rap battle in order to distract its shareholders, artists and the public from a simple truth: a greedy company is finally being held responsible for profiting from dangerous misinformation that has already resulted in multiple acts of violence. This motion is a desperate ploy by UMG to avoid accountability, but we have every confidence that this case will proceed and continue to uncover UMG’s long history of endangering, abusing and taking advantage of its artists.”

Drake's trying to have his cake and eat it too ... according to his music label UMG, which says his whole lawsuit over "Not Like Us" is really just sour grapes because Kendrick Lamar buried him in their rap beef.

Universal Music Group filed docs Monday in federal court, calling out Drake for his part in the diss track battle that surrounded the release of "Not Like Us." According to the label, "Drake encouraged the feud. For example, when he felt that Lamar was taking too long to respond, Drake released a second recording in which he goaded Lamar to continue the public rap battle."

Remember, Drake is suing his label for releasing the track, claiming it did so knowing its "certified pedophile" line was false and defamatory.
