Controversial S#!T

Jerrod Carmichael doesn't think much of Dave Chappelle -- claiming the guy's full of himself ... even alleging he demanded a public apology after Jerrod criticized his trans jokes.

The comedian did a new interview with Esquire this week, in which he reflected on his spat with Dave a couple years back in the wake of DC's Netflix special "The Closer" ... which was criticized as being anti-trans, something Jerrod himself weighed in on at the time.

During an interview from back then, Jerrod had tried offering Dave constructive criticism -- suggesting that his legacy had been marred by his leaning into making fun of trans folks.

A woman had a cartoonish meltdown on a Spirit Airlines flight -- and while cops were trying to remove her ... she tried invoking the name of George Floyd.

This video is making the rounds online, which captures an incident on a Spirit plane from March 23 -- which seems to have been in the process of taking off from Vegas. Unclear what happened that led to the ruckus, but right from the get-go in the clip ... cops are on hand.

You can see the police put one handcuff on her as the woman protests, and when they tell her she's under arrest -- she says that's fine ... noting she's "been there before."

Una mujer tuvo una alucinante crisis en un vuelo de Spirit Airlines, y mientras los policías estaban intentando detenerla, ella trató de invocar el nombre de George Floyd.

Este video, que captura un incidente en un avión de Spirit el 23 de marzo, se está haciendo viral en las redes, y al parecer muestra el momento del despegue del vuelo desde Las Vegas. No está claro qué fue lo que llevó a la bronca, pero desde el principio del clip, se puede ver a los policías tratando de contenerla.

Se puede ver cómo la policía le pone unas esposas mientras la mujer protesta, y cuando le dicen que está detenida ella dice que está bien, señalando que "ha estado allí antes".

La saga legal de Diddy en curso se estaría convirtiendo en un proyecto documental, y al parecer con varias empresas, según ha averiguado TMZ.

Múltiples fuentes de la industria con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que los productores de varias compañías de Hollywood y el Reino Unido han estado luchando por armar películas documentales de larga duración que cubran todo el drama de Diddy, desde las demandas civiles hasta las redadas federales.

Nos han dicho que la producción de la mayoría de los documentales comenzó inmediatamente después de los allanamientos en Los Ángeles y Miami, lo cual no es sorprendente, ya que la ejecución de las órdenes de registro por parte de los federales se produjo en directo por televisión, convirtiéndose en un espectáculo nacional y atrayendo la atención de mucha gente por el suceso y sus consecuencias.

The ongoing Diddy legal saga is getting the documentary treatment, and it's gonna happen several times with several companies ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple industry sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... producers at various production companies in Hollywood and the UK have been scrambling to put together long-form documentary films covering Diddy's drama -- everything from the civil lawsuits to the federal raids.

We're told the outreach to ramp up production for most of the docs began immediately after the raids in L.A. and Miami -- which isn't surprising, as the feds' execution of search warrants happened on live TV ... making it more of a national spectacle, and prompting folks to pay close attention to all the fallout.

La superestrella de la WWE -Chelsea Green- se ha metido en un pequeño "lío caliente". La ex Women's Tag Team Champion afirma que fue expulsada de un hotel de Nueva York esta semana, y ella cree que es porque el personal pensó que era una scort.

Green -que estuvo en la ciudad para el "Monday Night Raw"- expuso las acusaciones en redes sociales el miércoles, diciendo que estaba tratando de tener una noche agradable en la Gran Manzana, pero sus planes se descarrilaron cuando la seguridad del hotel la señaló por su apariencia.

TMZ Sports habló con Green, y ella explicó lo que pasó en detalle.

Rebel Wilson is once again stirring the pot -- this time taking shots at her talent agency, claiming her team preferred her when she was plus size.

The actress gets into the weighty subject in her new memoir, "Rebel Rising" ... which has already sparked controversy over claims against Sacha Baron Cohen and Adele. Now, she's coming for her agents, saying they preferred her when she was heavier ... as that meant banking "hundreds of thousands of dollars in commission for each film where [she] played the fat funny girl."

According to Rebel, this left her feeling trapped since there was "a multimillion-dollar pigeonhole" over her body size. Remember, she already claimed, while on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, she was contractually obligated not to lose weight while filming the "Pitch Perfect" franchise.

Rebel Wilson está agitando las cosas una vez más, esta vez disparando contra su agencia de talentos tras alegar que su equipo la prefería en una talla más grande.

La actriz abordó el tema en su nuevo libro de memorias "Rebel Rising", que ya ha desatado polémicas por sus denuncias en contra de Sacha Baron Cohen y Adele. Ahora, ella está tras sus agentes, diciendo que la preferían más grande, ya que eso significaba "cientos de miles de dólares en comisiones por cada película en la que [ella] interpretaba a la gorda graciosa".

Según Rebel, esto la dejó sintiéndose atrapada, ya que había "un encasillamiento multimillonario" sobre su tamaño corporal. Recordemos que durante el podcast "Call Her Daddy" ya afirmó que estaba obligada por contrato a no adelgazar durante el rodaje de la franquicia "Pitch Perfect".

WWE Superstar Chelsea Green has found herself in a bit of a "hot mess" -- the former Women's Tag Team Champion claims she was booted from an NYC hotel this week ... and she believes it's because staffers thought she was an escort.

Green -- who was in town for "Monday Night Raw" -- laid out the shocking allegations on social media on Wednesday ... saying she was trying to have a nice night out in the Big Apple, but her plans were derailed when hotel security singled her out over her appearance.

TMZ Sports spoke to Green ... and she further explained what went down in detail.

La ex de Diddy -Cassie- ha estado en contacto con las autoridades en la investigación federal, y no solo eso, nos dicen que está cooperando y que otros han hecho lo mismo.

Fuentes directas nos dicen que Cassie está entre los testigos con los que los federales han estado en contacto en relación con la investigación de Diddy. Nos dicen que ha estado trabajando con los investigadores durante varias semanas, presumiblemente incluso antes de que las casas de Diddy fueran allanadas.

Parece que Cassie puede haber ayudado a los federales a establecer una causa probable para lograr que un juez firme las órdenes de registro. Otras mujeres, se nos dice, también han estado en contacto con los investigadores federales.

Diddy's ex, Cassie, has been in touch with the authorities in the federal investigation -- not just that, we're told she's cooperating  ... as are others who've sued him.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... Cassie is among the witnesses the feds have been in contact with in connection with the Diddy investigation ... we're told she's been working with investigators for several weeks ... presumably even before Diddy's homes were raided.

Given the timing, it seems Cassie may have helped the feds establish probable cause to get a judge to sign off on the search warrants. Other women, we're told, have also been in contact with federal investigators.

Gene Simmons is coming to JoJo Siwa's defense after the internet claimed she was ripping off the iconic rocker's aesthetic with her whole "bad girl" persona ... 'cause the rocker digs it.

The KISS singer tells TMZ ... he likes JoJo's new "demon" look, praising her edgier new vibe as badass, and adding ... anyone hating on her, simply doesn't get it and they might just be jealous.

Gene also says, "Never be ordinary. Always be extraordinary. JoJo is extraordinary and she looks cool."

The University of Connecticut isn't playing around this year ... with both their men's and women's hoops teams in the Final Four, the U isn't takin' any chances, removing all the light poles from the campus to stop any debauchery square in its tracks!

TMZ Sports talked to UConn on Tuesday -- and with both basketball teams just two wins away from Natty's -- we asked about precautions ... given how crazy things got during last year's celebration after the men won.

Remember, students caused hella damage to the Storrs campus, including ripping down light poles and throwing them through buildings.

Rashee Rice estuvo involucrado en el accidente de carro que hirió a varias personas en Dallas el sábado y se lo admitió a la empresa propietaria del Lambo... TMZ Sports ha indagado.

Rice era dueño del Corvette que estuvo involucrado en el accidente y alquiló el Lambo de una empresa llamada The Classic Lifestyle. Rice estaba en el Lambo en el momento del accidente y de acuerdo con el contrato de arrendamiento, él es la única persona que se le permitió conducir el carro, esto de acuerdo con Kyle Coker, el abogado que representa Classic Lifestyle.

Coker le dice a TMZ Sports que Rice publicó un texto poco después del accidente, reconociendo que estaba involucrado en el accidente y la promesa de pagar por el Lambo, que fue total.

Rashee Rice was involved in the car crash that injured multiple people in Dallas Saturday ... and he admitted it to the company that owns the Lambo ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Rice owned the Corvette that was involved in the crash and leased the Lambo from a company called The Classic Lifestyle. Rice was in the Lambo at the time of the crash and, according to the leasing agreement, he's the only person who was permitted to drive the car ... this according to Kyle Coker, the attorney representing Classic Lifestyle.

Coker tells TMZ Sports, Rice fired off a text shortly after the wreck, acknowledging he was involved in the crash and promising to pay for the Lambo, which was totaled.

Joyner Lucas is looking back at his stint on a major record label with deep regret ... he says his experience was mostly clouded with empty promises!!!

While venting on Math Hoffa's "My Expert Opinion," Joyner and his longtime manager/business partner Drew recalled the time they were courted by Atlantic Records ahead of signing in 2016.

They also claim it took them forever to get paid -- money falling slowly like confetti isn't exactly worth celebrating!!!

Joyner admits he was beyond geeked when he signed with Atlantic, but only released one project with the label, and then bounced a few years later.

He's now calling Atlantic's recruitment a big 'ol sham ... Joyner and Drew both claim the label used love-bombing tactics to trick him into inking the contract.

Joyner says Atlantic execs told them it would be easy to get some of the label's biggest stars -- such as Cardi B, Ed Sheeran and Bruno Mars -- in the studio, but, of course, it never happened!!!

Joyner's nabbed some blockbuster collabs throughout his career ... folks like Eminem, J. Cole and Chris Brown. Even Jelly Roll appears on his newest album "Not Now I'm Busy," but none of those guys are signed to Atlantic.
