Young Thug Another Crazy Day In Court ... LeBron James & 'Lifestyle' Lyrics!!!

Young Thug's YSL RICO trial continues to provide unintentional entertainment ... today's edition introduced an unlikely name into the mix -- LeBron James!!!

On Thursday, YSL co-founder Trontavious "Tick" Stephens took the stand yet again when he was quizzed about LBJ's potential ties to the YSL -- due to the fact the NBA's scoring leader occasionally doing the "wipe your nose" hand sign with teammates and calling them "slime" as a term of endearment.

Prosecutors argue the WYN gesture is code for offing a rival in the streets and "slime" is also a gang-related term and pressured Tick to cough up what he knew about LBJ and YSL ... which wasn't much.

Tick admitted he's seen LBJ pull off different handshakes with his team -- but his mind seemed to slip into the Twilight Zone on the other questions .. namely, he couldn't remember.

The case has been bridged on potentially having YT potentially having crimes in his rap lyrics and the court played his and Rich Homie Quan's 2014 hit "Lifestyle" for everyone to analyze.

We're not sure what streaming the party track accomplished ... Thug, Yak Gotti and others remained emotionless as the platinum smash blared in the courtroom but it looked like the attorneys were trying hard not to catch a vibe.

Guys like Fat Joe are in total disagreement with rap lyrics being used as cross-evidence, but now it's up to the jury to decide.

Darnell 'SuperChef' Ferguson Estranged Wife Files TRO ... After Alleged Attack

Darnell 'SuperChef' Ferguson's estranged wife is looking to protect herself after he allegedly attacked her ... because we've learned she filed a TRO against him.

According to new docs, obtained by TMZ, Tatahda Ferguson filed in Lousiville, Kentucky Monday -- the day before Darnell was arrested -- seeking protection for her and their 3 kids.

She's also asking for Darnell to stay away from her work, home, and their kids' school ... and Tatahda is seeking temporary custody and child support.

In the docs, Tatahda claims Darnell came into her home without her permission on January 2 while she "had a guy friend sleeping with me." She says the guy took off when Darnell arrived.

She claims Darnell was upset that she wasn't responding to his calls, as well as the man sleeping with her, and got irate ... allegedly breaking her door and punching a hole in her wall before choking her out.

Tatahda says Darnell ripped her shorts off and demanded to see her private parts, "because I was his and no one else's."

As we reported, Darnell pleaded not guilty in court to the criminal charges related to this alleged incident, and his bond was set at $10k. Records show he posted bail Wednesday and was released.

BTW, it appears Tatahda filed a separate restraining order request back in July, claiming he went ballistic when she told him she wanted a divorce ... allegedly putting a tracker on her car, taking her phone, and hiring a private investigator to follow her. Looks like the case was subsequently dismissed per an agreed order.

Detienen al redactor de "El deber del jurado" poner en peligro a menores

capturado en video

Un editor de Hollywood está recibiendo malas noticias profesionalmente, debido a su reciente detención por poner en peligro a unos niños. A pesar de la especulación que va a seguir trabajando en un gran espectáculo de Amazon Prime... TMZ puede confirmar que está fuera.

Christopher Charkowski —de 39 años— fue detenido en el condado de Los Ángeles la semana pasada por un cargo de delito grave de crueldad intencional a un niño causando posibles lesiones o la muerte, y un video está circulando en línea que supuestamente lo muestra abusando del niño dentro de una casa.

Fuentes policiales nos dicen que este video de vigilancia que ha estado haciendo rondando por las redes sociales, se le ha presentado a las autoridades como parte de su investigación del caso. Los registros judiciales indican que el presunto delito se cometió en junio de 2022.

El caso fue archivado en noviembre, pero Charkowski no fue detenido y fichado por la policía hasta el 4 de enero. Lo que se muestra en este video es inquietante, por decir lo menos, y podría ser una pieza clave de las pruebas a medida que avanza este caso.

En el video se ve a un hombre perdiendo la cabeza y yendo a por lo que parece ser un niño pequeño. Se le ve poner las manos encima del niño, estrangularlo y posiblemente incluso darle algún puñetazo.

No está claro cuál es la relación entre el adulto y el niño, pero los oficiales tienen motivos suficientes para creer que es Charkowski quien aparece en el video.

Por cierto, ha sido puesto en libertad bajo fianza y las fechas para la corte están programadas.

Ahora, en cuanto a quién es Charkowski en el mundo del espectáculo, ha trabajado en post-producción para un montón de grandes programas de televisión. Más recientemente, editó el video de "Jury Duty", que dio de que hablar de la ciudad el año pasado, e incluso fue nominado en los Globos de Oro del pasado fin de semana.

Charkowski aparece como parte del departamento editorial de esa serie, y luego de que este video saliera a la luz, la gente ha estado clamando para que Amazon lo deje caer lo antes posible. Una fuente directa le dice a TMZ que Charkowski ya no está afiliado con el estudio.

Nos dicen que su papel en "Jury Duty" —que se extendió por 8 episodios— vino y se fue una vez que terminó la producción hace casi un año. Nuestras fuentes dicen que era un contratista externo al show, no un empleado permanente de Amazon/Freevee.

Desde entonces, nuestras fuentes dicen que no ha sido empleado de Amazon en absoluto y es seguro decir que no va a volver.

Otro espectáculo en el que ha trabajado durante mucho tiempo es Bravo "Below Deck Mediterranean", pero una fuente señala que no ha estado con ellos desde hace unos dos años.

Nos pusimos en contacto con Chris, pero no obtuvimos ningún comentario.

'Jury Duty' Editor Arrested for Child Endangerment ... No Longer Tied to Amazon

0110224-christopher-charkowski-kal
caught on camera

A prominent Hollywood editor is getting the cold shoulder, professionally, due to his recent arrest for child endangerment -- and despite speculation he'll continue working on a big-time Amazon Prime show ... TMZ can confirm he's out.

Thirty-nine-year-old Christopher Charkowski was arrested in L.A. County last week on a felony charge of willful cruelty to a child causing possible possible injury or death -- and a video is circulating online allegedly showing him brutalizing a kid inside of a house.

Law enforcement sources tell us this clip -- home surveillance footage that's been making the rounds on social media -- has been submitted to authorities as part of their investigation of the case. Court records list the date of the alleged offense as June 2022.

The case was filed back in November, but Charkowski wasn't hauled in and booked by law enforcement until Jan. 4. What's depicted in this video is disturbing, to say the least, and could be a key piece of evidence as this case proceeds.

In the clip, you see a man losing his mind and going after what appears to be a little boy. You can see him putting his hands on the kid, throttling him and possibly even throwing some punches.

It's unclear what the relation might be between the adult and child here, but on its face, it appears law enforcement had enough reason to believe it's Charkowski in the video.

BTW, he's been released on bail -- and future court dates are scheduled.

Now, as far as who Charkowski is in showbiz ... he's worked in post-production for a lot of big TV shows. Most recently, he edited video for "Jury Duty," which was the talk of the town last year, and was even nominated at last weekend's Golden Globes.

Charkowski is listed as part of the editorial department for that series -- and after this video got out, people have been clamoring for Amazon to drop him ASAP. Welp, a source with direct knowledge tells TMZ that Charkowski is no longer affiliated with the studio.

We're told his role on "Jury Duty" -- which spanned 8 episodes -- came and went once they wrapped production nearly a year ago, and our sources say he was an outside contractor on the show, not a permanent employee of Amazon/Freevee.

Since then, our sources say he hasn't been employed at Amazon whatsoever -- and safe to say ... he won't be back.

Another show he's worked on for a long time is Bravo's "Below Deck Mediterranean," but a production source points out to TMZ .... he hasn't been with them for about 2 years now.

We reached out to Chris ... he had no comment.

Acusan al ex marido de Lauren Boebert de pelearse con su hijo y provocar el caos en un bar

actualización

11:33 AM PT -- La policía de Silt dice que no encontraron pruebas creíbles de violencia doméstica contra la diputada Boebert en su investigación sobre el altercado del sábado en Miner's Claim, Colorado.

El departamento dio a conocer los resultados de sus hallazgos el miércoles y básicamente están señalando a Jayson, diciendo que Lauren fue cooperativa y servicial esa noche, mientras que él estaba "altamente intoxicado, gritandole a los oficiales y no cooperó con la investigación".

Dicen que están cerrando el asunto por falta de pruebas de violencia doméstica contra Lauren y van a dejar que la oficina del Fiscal se haga cargo de todo lo demás que se le acusa a Jayson.

TMZ ha obtenido las órdenes de detención emitidas contra el ex marido de Lauren Boebert, las cuales describen dos incidentes diferentes que pintan a Jayson como alguien fuera de control.

En los documentos del altercado del sábado por la noche entre la congresista y su ex —obtenido por TMZ— los oficiales dicen que recibieron una llamada denunciando violencia doméstica, solo para recibir otra llamada de Boebert... en el despacho destacaron algunas partes como: "Acabo de tocar tu nariz" y Jayson gritando: "Ella me dio un puñetazo en la cara".

Finalmente, cuando los oficiales llegaron, dicen que se encontraron con Lauren y Jayson en el exterior del restaurante Miner's Claim, donde determinaron que Lauren y Jayson habían llegado allí para arreglar las cosas y discutir el futuro de su relación. Boebert es citado en los documentos diciendo que estaban tratando de llegar a buenos términos, pero las cosas se pusieron feas.

Por la razón que sea, los policías dicen que las cosas parecen haberse puesto físicas. Jayson estaba reclamando que Lauren le dio un puñetazo en la cara, Lauren dijo que simplemente lo tocó con el dedo. Los policías dicen que Jayson comenzó a actuar bulliciosamente y se negó a permanecer quieto y seguir las órdenes, supuestamente exigiendo más bebida y negándose a abandonar el lugar cuando el manager se lo exigió.

Después de un montón de idas y venidas, los documentos dicen Jayson finalmente tuvo que ser "escoltado físicamente fuera del lugar" e incluso trató de detener a los oficiales "agarrando el marco de la puerta." Esa noche no fue detenido por lo sucedido, ni tampoco Lauren. Una orden de detención por separado fue emitida por otro presunto incidente.

010824_ufo_promo_kal
lo que realmente está pasando

La Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Garfield dice que recibieron una llamada del hijo de Luren y Jason de 18 años de edad —Tyler— para informar de algún tipo de altercado físico relacionado con su padre.

En pocas palabras, Tyler alegó que Jayson estaba en su casa familiar y se enojó porque Tyler tenía a su bebé durmiendo en un cesto de la ropa con la ropa en ella, esto supuestamente estalló en una pelea entre padre e hijo, con Tyler diciendo que Jayson metió su pulgar en la boca.

Tyler también afirma que Jayson agarró un rifle y Tyler finalmente llamó a su madre —Lauren— quien le dijo que llamara al 911. Cuando Tyler les dijo lo que pasó, los oficiales fueron capaces de obtener una orden de arresto contra Jayson por uso prohibido de un arma, acoso y asalto en tercer grado.

Hemos llegado a la oficina de Boebert para hacer comentarios, pero hasta ahora no hay respuesta.

Rep. Lauren Boebert Ex Accused of Fighting Son, Causing Chaos ... New Mug Shot Released

update

11:33 AM PT -- Silt PD is now saying they found no credible evidence of DV against Rep. Lauren Boebert in their investigation of Saturday's altercation at Miner's Claim in Colorado.

The department released the results of their findings Wednesday, and are basically pointing the finger at Jayson here -- saying Lauren was cooperative and helpful that night, whereas they claim Jayson was "highly intoxicated, yelling at officers, and was uncooperative with the investigation."

They say due to the lack of evidence of domestic violence against Lauren, they're closing the matter ... and letting the D.A.'s office deal with Jayson on everything else he's accused of.

TMZ has obtained the arrest warrants issued for Lauren Boebert's ex-husband -- describing two different alleged incidents over the course of a few days that paint Jayson as pretty out of control ... at least according to law enforcement.

First, in the docs pertaining to Saturday evening's altercation between the Congresswoman and her ex -- obtained by TMZ -- cops say they got a call for potential DV, only to then get another call from Boebert herself ... which dispatch says featured LB saying "I just touched your nose" and Jayson yelling, "She punched me in the face."

Eventually when officers arrived, they say they ran into Lauren and Jayson on the outside the Miner's Claim restaurant in Silt, Co -- where they determined Lauren and Jayson had come there to hash things out and discuss the future of their relationship. Boebert is quoted in the docs as saying they were trying to get on good terms, but things got ugly.

For whatever reason, cops say things appear to have gotten physical -- Jayson was claiming Lauren punched him in the face, Lauren said it was nothing but a touch with her finger. As they were trying to go back and forth and collect info from them and witnesses, cops say Jayson started acting boisterously and refused to stay put and follow commands -- allegedly demanding more booze and refusing to leave the joint when he was asked by management.

After a lot of back and forth, the docs say Jayson had to eventually be "physically escorted off the premise" and even tried to stop officers "by grabbing the door frame." He was not arrested that evening over whatever happened, and neither was Lauren. Fast-forward to Tuesday, and a separate arrest warrant was issued over another alleged incident.

010824_ufo_promo_kal
WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON

The Garfield County Sheriff's Office says they got a call from Lauren and Jayson's 18-year-old son, Tyler, to report some kind of physical altercation Tyler claims occurred with his dad.

Long story short, Tyler alleged that Jayson was at their family home and got pissed because Tyler had his baby sleeping in a laundry basket with clothes in it, which allegedly erupted into a brawl between father and son, with Tyler saying Jayson stuck his thumb in his mouth.

Tyler also claims Jayson grabbed a rifle at one point, and Tyler eventually called his mom, Lauren, who told him to call 911 ... and when Tyler told them what happened, officers were able to get an arrest warrant for Jayson for prohibited use of a weapon, harassment, and assault in the third degree.

We've reached out to Boebert's office for comment ... so far, no word back.

Ecuador in Chaos Gangs Unleash Havoc On Public ... Wild Footage Surfacing

TAKING OVER THE STREETS

Ecuador has been thrust into utter chaos after a major drug lord escaped from prison over the weekend -- spurring cartel gang members to wreak havoc all throughout the country.

Cities like Guayaquil and others are being subjected to stickups and raids on the behalf of thugs who are running amok in the streets ... storming TV stations, holding people hostage at gunpoint, and in many cases -- outright executions of law enforcement officials.

011024_ecuador_tv_station_kal
THREATENED ON LIVE TV

The videos making the rounds online right now are absolutely stunning in the worst possible way -- these cartel killers are recording themselves indiscriminately opening fire in public.

Like we said ... it's bedlam of the highest degree, and the disturbing images surfacing are causing alarm in the international community. Ecuador's government has already issued a state of emergency, and military personnel has been deployed to get a handle on things.

011024_ecuador_hostages_kal
HELD AT GUNPOINT

There've been countless arrests -- but it's unclear if this attempted crackdown will be effective ... Ecuador has been at the center of corruption allegations for years, so it remains to be seen if their criminal justice system can keep things in check there.

WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON

As far as what sparked all this ... it appears to be stemming from a brash prison break for a guy named Adolfo 'Fito' Macias -- who busted out on Sunday, and who leads Los Choneros.

Now, he and his goons are a putting on a show of force ... and being met with pushback not just from law enforcement, but from citizens as well -- many of whom are taking up arms.

It's a precarious situation, here's hoping they can get things in order there fairly quickly.

Calles tomadas

Ecuador se ha sumido en el caos absoluto después de que un importante capo de la droga escapara de la cárcel durante el fin de semana, lo que ha llevado a los miembros de las bandas del cártel a sembrar el caos por todo el país.

Ciudades como Guayaquil y otras están siendo objeto de asaltos y redadas en nombre de los matones que están corriendo fuera de control por las calles. Han asaltado estaciones de televisión, tomado personas como rehenes a punta de pistola, y en muchos casos, ejecutado directamente a los funcionarios encargados de hacer cumplir la ley.

011024_ecuador_tv_station_kal
Amenazado en televisión

Los videos que están circulando en línea en este momento son absolutamente impresionantes y de la peor forma posible. Estos asesinos del cártel se están grabando indiscriminadamente mientras abren fuego en público.

Como decíamos, es un caos del más alto grado y las perturbadoras imágenes están causando alarma en la comunidad internacional. El gobierno de Ecuador ya ha decretado el estado de emergencia y se ha desplegado personal militar para controlar la situación.

011024_ecuador_hostages_kal
Retenidos a punta de pistola

Ha habido innumerables detenciones, pero no está claro si este intento de represión será eficaz. Ecuador ha estado en el centro de acusaciones de corrupción durante años, por lo que está por verse si su sistema de justicia penal puede mantener las cosas bajo control.

En cuanto a lo que provocó todo esto, parece que se deriva de la fuga de la cárcel de un tipo llamado Adolfo 'Fito' Macías, que escapó el domingo y lidera a Los Choneros.

Ahora, él y sus matones se enfrentan al repudio no solo de las fuerzas del orden, sino de los ciudadanos, muchos de los cuales están tomando las armas.

Es una situación precaria, esperamos que puedan poner las cosas en orden rápidamente

Jeffery Epstein ACCUSER CLAIMS SHE WAS TRAFFICKED TO LES WEXNER ... We Had Sex Multiple Times

Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre claims she was sex trafficked to billionaire Les Wexner on multiple occasions ... according to newly unsealed court documents.

The explosive claim is from Giuffre's deposition from a 2015 lawsuit that involved allegations against Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell ... in the deposition transcript, obtained by TMZ, Giuffre claims she had sex with Wexner several times and estimates it possibly happened more than 5 times.

Wexner is the former CEO of Victoria's Secret and in 1987 he hired Epstein to work as his financial manager, with Wexner granting JE power of attorney over his massive fortune.

Also in the deposition, Giuffre says she wore different types of lingerie for Wexner, adding it was Maxwell who set it up and it wasn't Wexner's request.

Asked specifically if it was Victoria's Secret, Giuffre said she didn't recall the exact brand.

Giuffre also claims she met Bill Clinton twice and Al Gore once via Epstein ... but doesn't say she had sex with them.

Wexner has not been charged with any crimes relating to Epstein and Maxwell. After Epstein's 2019 arrest, Wexner claimed he severed ties with JE in 2007 and denied knowledge of Epstein's crimes.

The Epstein drops have continued this week ... and more and more names are being mentioned in the ongoing doc dumps.

La demandante de Jeffrey Epstein afirma que fue traficada sexualmente para Les Wexner

La demandante de Jeffrey Epstein, Virginia Giuffre, afirma que fue víctima de tráfico sexual con el multimillonario Les Wexner en múltiples ocasiones, según documentos judiciales recientemente desvelados.

La explosiva afirmación es de la deposición de Giuffre de una demanda de 2015 que involucró acusaciones contra el asociado de Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell. En la transcripción de la deposición obtenida por TMZ, Giuffre afirma que tuvo relaciones sexuales con Wexner varias veces, estima que posiblemente sucedió cinco veces.

Wexner es el ex CEO de Victoria's Secret y en 1987 contrató a Epstein para trabajar como su gerente financiero, con Wexner otorgandole a Epstein el poder notarial sobre su enorme fortuna.

En la declaración, Giuffre dice que usó diferentes tipos de lencería para Wexner, agregando que fue Maxwell quien lo organizó y no fue una petición de Wexner.

Preguntado específicamente si se trataba de Victoria's Secret, Giuffre dijo que no recordaba la marca exacta.

Giuffre también afirma que se reunió con Bill Clinton dos veces y Al Gore una vez a través de Epstein, pero no dice que tuvo relaciones sexuales con ellos.

Wexner no ha sido acusado de ningún delito relacionado con Epstein y Maxwell. Tras la detención de Epstein en 2019, Wexner afirmó que cortó lazos con JE en 2007 y negó tener conocimiento de los crímenes de Epstein.

El caso Epstein continúa, y más y más nombres salen a la luz.

CARDI B Y OFFSET víctimas de falsa alarma en su hogar de Georgia… LA POLICÍA SE TOPÓ CON EL TÍO Y UN MIGO ENFADADO

LLEGANDO A LA ESCENA
TMZ.com

Cardi B y Offset fueron víctimas de una falsa alarma en su hogar de Georgia el verano pasado, cuando alguien llamó al 911 reportando hechos ficticios. El cual fue registrado en un video obtenido por TMZ.

TMZ ha obtenido imágenes de la cámara corporal de la policía tomadas en agosto del año pasado en Sandy Springs, Georgia, donde la pareja separada tiene una casa. Según el informe policial, los agentes fueron mandados a su dirección tras recibir llamadas que informaban que alguien había sido disparado en el lugar.

OFFSET EXPLOTA
TMZ.com

Un oficial señala en el informe policial que el informante afirmaba que alguien disparó un tiro en la “casa de un rapero famoso” e incluso sugirió que Cardi misma podría haber sido alcanzada por una bala. Los policías llegaron con luces y sirenas, y con sus armas desenfundadas.

Afortunadamente, la llamada resultó ser falsa, como descubrieron los agentes al llegar a la propiedad y hablar con el tío de Offset, Derrick Cephus, quien estaba cuidando la casa. Al parecer, Cardi B y Offset ni siquiera estaban en casa durante este intento de “swatting”, solo un familiar confundido.

Puedes ver el video para presenciar el encuentro, ya que es bastante impactante, especialmente cuando parece que Offset es involucrado en la llamada, como se puede escuchar claramente desde el altavoz. Es evidente que estaba molesto por el informe falso y quizás aún más porque los oficiales estaban allí en primer lugar.

Después de cierto intercambio de palabras y al darse cuenta de que no pasaba nada, los policías se fueron y simplemente tomaron un informe del incidente. También cabe mencionar que Offset se refiere a CB como su “esposa” aquí y dice que ella está con él en Los Ángeles mientras todo este alboroto ocurre en casa.

En cuanto a cómo esto afecta al estado actual de su relación(complicado), es difícil decirlo con certeza, pero parece que cualquier problema en su relación podría haber ocurrido después de este incidente.

Mientras tanto, esto demuestra una vez más que algunas personas gustan de fastidiar a las celebridades de la peor manera posible.

GHISLAINE MAXWELL LA HISTORIA DE LA ACUSADORA DEL PRÍNCIPE ANDREW NO CUADRA … Afirma Abogado

El abogado de Ghislaine Maxwell está sonando las alarmas sobre la mujer que afirma haber tenido relaciones sexuales con el Príncipe Andrew, alegando que cambió su historia y algo no hace sentido.

Según nuevos documentos, obtenidos por TMZ, el abogado Philip Barden menciona que las afirmaciones pasadas de la acusadora Virginia Giuffre sobre el Príncipe Andrew demuestran que mintió.

Barden afirma que la prueba es el cambio en la historia sobre el presunto encuentro con el príncipe Andrew, diciendo que Giuffre afirmó en 2014 que no tuvo relaciones sexuales con el duque de York, pero luego afirmó que sí tuvo relaciones con él “en lo que solo se puede describir como una bañera muy pequeña, demasiado pequeña para que un hombre del tamaño del príncipe Andrew disfrute de un baño, y mucho menos tener sexo”.

Desde la perspectiva de Barden, Giuffre no puede tenerlo de ambas maneras, diciendo: “Estaba mintiendo, ya sea cuando dijo que no tuvieron sexo o cuando dijo que sí lo tuvieron”.

Giuffre afirmó que la presunta agresión sexual comenzó en la bañera de Maxwell y eventualmente se trasladó al dormitorio cuando ella tenía 17 años. El príncipe Andrew llegó a un acuerdo extrajudicial con Giuffre en 2022, pero ha negado sus acusaciones.

Recientemente, se ha revelado una gran cantidad de documentos sobre Epstein, y muchos nombres importantes como Stephen Hawking, Bill Clinton y muchos más han aparecido en los materiales publicados.

En una afirmación explosiva de Johanna Sjöberg, otra presunta víctima anterior, afirmó que Epstein le dijo: “A Clinton le gustan jóvenes”, refiriéndose jóvenes menores.

Cardi B & Offset Swatted at Georgia Home ... Cops Run Into Uncle & Angry Migo

ARRIVING ON THE SCENE
TMZ.com

Before Cardi B and Offset called it quits late last year, it looks like they were dealing with some bozo calling 911 and reporting fake crimes happening at their home ... and some of it was captured on video.

TMZ has obtained police body cam video that was taken in August last year out in Sandy Springs, GA -- where the estranged couple have a home. In an incident report, cops say they were dispatched to their address after calls came in to report someone had been shot there.

010824_offset_swatting_yelling_kal AUGUST 2023
OFFSET GOES OFF
TMZ.com

One officer notes in the police report that a caller claimed someone fired a shot at a "famous rapper's house" and even suggested Cardi herself may have been hit with a bullet ... so cops came with lights and sirens, and with their firearms drawn.

Fortunately ... cops say the call turned out to be BS -- something officers discovered when they arrived at the property and talked to Offset's uncle, Derrick Cephus, who said he was house-sitting. Yep, it sounds like Cardi and Offset weren't even home for this swatting attempt .... just a confused relative!

Check out the video to see the encounter, 'cause it's pretty wild -- especially when it sounds like Offset gets roped in on the phone, which you can clearly hear from the speaker. It's pretty obvious he was heated about the bogus report ... and perhaps even angrier that officers were there at all.

010924_tv_clips_cardi_b_offset_swat.01_00_09_00.Still001
FALSE ALARM
TMZ.com

After some back and forth -- and eventually realizing nothing was wrong -- the cops left and just took a report of the whole thing. Also worth noting ... Offset refers to CB as his "wife" here, and says she's with him in L.A. while all this ruckus is going down back at home.

Now, in terms of how this plays into their current relationship status (complicated), it's hard to say for sure ... but it seems to suggest that whatever happened with their relationship may have been after this.

Meanwhile, this just goes to show ... folks apparently love to screw with stars in the worst way possible.

Ghislaine Maxwell Prince Andrew Accuser's Story Doesn't Line Up ... Lawyer Claims

Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer is sounding the alarms regarding the woman who claims she had sex with Prince Andrew ... saying she changed her story and something obviously doesn't add up.

According to new docs, obtained by TMZ, attorney Philip Barden says accuser Virginia Giuffre's past claims about Prince Andrew clearly demonstrate she told a lie.

Barden says the proof is her changing story about the alleged encounter with Prince Andrew, saying Giuffre claimed in 2014 that she didn't have sex with the Duke of York, but then claimed she did have sex with him "in what can only be described as a very small bathtub, too small for a man of Prince Andrew's size to enjoy a bath in let alone sex."

From Barden's perspective, Giuffre can't have it both ways ... saying "She was either lying when she said they did not have sex or when she said they did."

Giuffre claimed the alleged sexual assault started in Maxwell's tub and eventually moved to the bedroom when she was 17 years old. Prince Andrew settled a lawsuit with Giuffre in 2022, but has denied her allegations.

As you know, there have been mountains of docs that have been unsealed recently regarding Epstein, and lots of big names like Stephen Hawking, Bill Clinton, and many more have been seen in the released materials.

In a bombshell claim from Johanna Sjöberg, another alleged former victim, she claimed Epstein told her, "Clinton likes them young,' referring to girls."

Ian Ziering La policía se centra cargos de vandalismo todavía no hay cargos de agresión

Los policías que investigan la loca pelea de motociclistas de Ian Ziering se están centrando en los cargos de vandalismo que podrían enfrentar los motociclistas, aunque Ian no está del todo libre de culpa todavía.

Los oficiales le dicen a TMZ que el foco principal del caso en este momento es un potencial cargo de vandalismo y delito grave contra los ciclistas por dañar el carro de Ian, pero no se han hecho detenciones hasta el momento.

xxx_sports-Copy-01 12/31/23
¿Nuevo ángulo, nueva verdad?

Nos dicen que los nuevos videos que han surgido en los que se ve a Ian empujando a uno de los motoristas, muestran que este incidente podría ser considerado un caso de combate mutuo, en cuyo caso no se presentarían cargos por agresión.

La policía dice que ninguno de los ciclistas se ha presentado ninguna queja contra Ian y por una buena razón -nos dicen que las mini motos del grupo son ilegales para montar en la calle y en el tráfico, por no decir que uno fue visto rompiendo el parabrisas de Ian.

El Fiscal de Distrito de Los Ángeles puede añadir cargos de agresión si sienten que tienen la evidencia correcta.

Ian Ziering Cops Focused On Vandalism Case But Fight Charges Still Loom

Cops investigating Ian Ziering's crazy biker brawl are zeroing in on at least one of the bikers for vandalism charges ... and, as of now, they're not as concerned about the fight side of things.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... the main focus of the case is a potential felony vandalism charge against the bikers for damaging Ian's car, but no arrests have been made yet.

xxx_sports-Copy-01 12/31/23
New Angle, New Truth?

We're told the new videos that emerged, in which Ian is seen initiating the violence by pushing one of the bikers, show this fight could be considered mutual combat. If that's the case, battery charges are unlikely, especially since none of the bikers have filed a police report.

Let's face it ... that wouldn't be a very biker gang thing to do.

Another reason they're not running to cops ... we're told the mini motorbikes they were riding are illegal to ride on public streets or freeways.

As for the vandalism -- one of the bikers is seen clearly on video using a helmet to smash Ian's windshield. When the case gets submitted, however, the L.A. District Attorney can add battery charges if they feel the evidence is there.
