'OITNB,' 'Weeds,' 'Glow' Creator Jenji Kohan Files for Divorce
Jenji Kohan, the creator of "Weeds," "Orange is the New Black" and "Glow" is ending her marriage, and it sounds like an expensive proposition.
Kohan just filed for divorce against Christopher Noxon, citing irreconcilable differences.
Here's the thing. They've been married for 20 years, before she became famous and super rich, so there's no prenup. Translation -- 50/50.
Kohan's worth a fortune. She signed a deal with Netflix last year to create a number of shows.
Noxon, a writer, who's repped by attorney Lisa Helfend Meyer, is asking for spousal support. Kohan, who's repped by disso queen Laura Wasser, is asking to deny him support.
That sounds like a fight, but there are signs it's actually amicable. Noxon filed his response to the divorce at the same time Kohan filed her docs. That's a strong indication they're working together and the divorce is actually amicable.
The former couple has 2 kids in high school and one in college.

JWoww Claimed Husband Harassed Her ... That's the Reason for a Restraining Order

EXCLUSIVE

JWoww told police her estranged husband, Roger Mathews, was harassing her by filming her without consent, which is why he got kicked out of their home ... sources close to the couple tell TMZ.
As we reported ... cops hauled Mathews out of the family home early Friday morning per a restraining order JWoww got in the dead of night. Roger claimed the 2 had a disagreement earlier in the evening, but he did nothing wrong and was blindsided by police when they demanded he leave.
We're told the 'Jersey Shore' star waited until later in the night when Roger went to bed to contact authorities to claim he was harassing her ... which was enough to get him booted.
Surveillance video from inside their home during the incident shows JWoww telling cops Roger's "not a bad dad" and presumably wants the restraining order to only cover her. But, apparently cops said the temporary order bars Roger from contacting the entire fam, and if she wants it limited she'll have to take it up later in court.
Snooki hinted at harassment allegations when she claimed Roger was taunting JWoww by recording her with his phone to get a rise out of her. Mathews admitted recording JWoww on his phone, but only because his attorney advised him to do so.
We're told Roger is hoping more surveillance footage from the incident at their home gets released because he has nothing to hide and believes it will vindicate him.
Our sources also say the 2 have been doing couple's counseling for the past 3 months and Mathews was hoping to work things out, but JWoww told him recently she had no intention of reconciling ... and was only trying to keep things civil for the kids over the holidays.
We're told Roger's in the same boat now -- it's all about the kids ... not saving the marriage.

Cardi B Look, Offset ... No Wedding Ring!!! Just a Big Ol' Smile
10:00 AM PT -- Along with no ring, we've learned Cardi's no longer following Offset on Instagram ... and he's responded in kind.
Cardi B is leaving one stone totally turned -- her giant engagement rock is off her hand, and she's making sure everyone knows it.
Cardi strolled into Madison Square Garden Friday night for iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball concert and proudly showed off her much lighter left hand to fans and photogs.
No doubt, she's sending up a signal -- to her estranged hubby, Offset ... and possibly to all the future suitors waiting to shoot their shot. Y'know her DMs are lit, right now.
Just last month, she was rocking the 8-carat, $550k ring while onstage for a Pandora event in NYC. Things change.
Earlier this week, Cardi announced she and Offset were separated and likely headed for divorce.
If she's busted up about it, she's doing a great job of hiding it in public. Ever the professional, Cardi shook off any Offset-Summer Bunni drama ... and ripped through her set at MSG. No ring required.

Offset & Cardi B Alleged Side Chick Was in Nicki Minaj Music Video
Cardi B's breakup with Offset over alleged infidelity just got a little more dramatic -- 'cause the girl he's accused of creepin' with was in a Nicki Minaj video.
Turns out, Summer Bunni -- who Offset allegedly solicited for a threeway with another female rapper -- starred in Tekashi69 and Nicki's "FEFE" music vid. SB posted a clip of herself in the production shooting whipped cream in her mouth.
That's what they call a star turn in show biz.
As we reported ... Summer says she feels terrible about possibly being the reason Cardi and Offset split, and tearfully told us she never meant to be a homewrecker.
It's unclear if Summer was trying to stick it to Cardi by working with her nemesis. The "FEFE" vid came out in July -- meanwhile, Nicki and Cardi's bad blood boiled over in September. So, this could all be coincidence, but drama-filled coincidence, for sure.
Remember, Nicki also hired 2 strippers Cardi allegedly attacked earlier this year to star in her newest music vid.

'Martin' Star Tisha Campbell-Martin Estranged Hubby Used Loan from Will & Jada In Alleged Bankruptcy Scam
-
EXCLUSIVE

"Martin" star Tisha Campbell-Martin's estranged husband pulled off a scam in the couple's bankruptcy case, even using a loan from Will and Jada Pinkett Smith to do so ... according to new legal docs.
Bankruptcy officials claim Duane Martin hid money for years from several different sources ... even though he and Tisha filed for bankruptcy in January 2016. It's very complicated, but according to the docs ... Duane had hundreds of thousands of dollars coming in from a clothing store and a real estate investment, but didn't disclose that info in bankruptcy documentation.
Officials say they became privy of Duane's shady financial moves after Tisha filed for divorce from him in February and discovered her estranged hubby "concealed" and "diverted valuable assets" in their bankruptcy case.
Specifically, the docs say Duane used a $1.4 million loan he got from his friends, Will and Jada, through their company to buy a home and sell it later for a million dollar profit "with the intention of pocketing the sales."
While officials don't accuse the Smiths of any wrongdoing ... they allege the loan was part of a larger "sham" by Duane.
Officials are asking for Duane's discharge of debts -- which was granted in the bankruptcy case -- to now be revoked ... and for him to turn over the cash he's been hiding.
As we reported ... Tisha also wants money from Duane, claiming in June divorce docs that he hid money during their marriage.
Sources close to Tisha tell TMZ ... she tried to convince Duane to tell the truth but in the end, she had to reveal her findings to "avoid jail and be there for their two children."
We have reached out to Duane ... so far, no word back.

David Charvet Jermaine Jones Threatened to Shoot Me ... I'm Not Banging His Wife!
David Charvet claims former Team USA soccer star Jermaine Jones has been stalking him and threatening him with a GUN over the FALSE belief that he's having sex with Jermaine's wife ... TMZ Sports has learned.
We broke the story ... Charvet filed a request for a restraining order against Jones after the soccer star went on a social media tirade last week and publicly accused him of being a homewrecker.
Now, we've learned the request was GRANTED after Charvet painted a very frightening picture of how Jones has been terrorizing him privately.
Charvet claims he met Jones and his wife because their kids played together in L.A.
Charvet claims Jones and his wife, Sarah, have been separated for about 2 months -- and in November, Jones began blaming Charvet for the split ... and began sending him nasty text messages.
"Next time I see you me and you will clear all that sh*t ... Man I f*cking have a problem with you."
Charvet claims Jones later sent him threats stating he would "punch me in the face but for the fact that he would go to jail for that."
During the recent fires in California, Charvet says he evacuated -- but Jones stalked him and threatened to come find him at the place he was staying.
Charvet says Jones also sent him text messages of a recently purchased AR-15 assault rifle with a message to stay away and watch out.
Charvet says Jones' wife Sarah found the AR-15 rifle unlocked in Jermaine's closet -- and when she confronted him about the situation, he made more threatening comments.
Another scary moment went down on Nov. 23, when Jones drove to Charvet's gated community and attempted to get to David's home, according to the documents. Security turned him away but David was so scared he filed a police report.
Charvet says, "I am in tremendous fear for my safety that he will stop at nothing to find me, continue to stalk me and carry through with his combative and threatening behavior."
In his court docs, David falsely claims Jones had contacted TMZ to "pass a story that I was having an affair with his wife." Jermaine NEVER contacted TMZ. We learned of Jermaine's claims through his social media posts.
Charvet wants to make it clear in the court docs he's NOT having a sexual relationship with Sarah Jones -- "We are not romantically or sexually involved in any way whatsoever, we are simply friends."
The judge granted Charvet's request for a restraining order and Jones must stay 100 yards away from the actor at all times.
As we previously reported, Jones -- who was a star for Team USA in the 2014 World Cup -- had posted a picture of Charvet on Instagram with a devil over his face last week ... with messages accusing the actor of ruining his family.

Tyrese No More Covering Childcare Costs While Ex is 'Living Life'
A judge is siding with Tyrese, ruling there are limits when it comes to his ex-wife demanding he cover childcare costs ... especially if her activities aren't work-related.
According to docs, obtained by TMZ, the judge ruled Norma Gibson can't expect Tyrese to reimburse her for babysitters to watch their 11-year-old daughter, Shayla ... if Norma's running "non-work errands" or running her household.
As we first reported, Tyrese was pissed about childcare bills Norma was running up -- especially one particular day in August -- when she admitted she was merely "living life." He was also upset that, in his view, she wasn't making an effort to get a steady job.
In the docs, the judge lays out what qualifies as work activities for Norma -- including developing her life coaching biz, working on her book or pursuing her art. The court says if she requires childcare while doing any of those things ... she can put that on Tyrese's tab.
Tyrese had demanded a detailed, even itemized, accounting of how Norma spends her time. The judge basically said that's not a bad idea -- recommending, but not ordering, Norma to "maintain a diary of time spent on work."

Alicia Silverstone Divorce Paying Ex-Husband $12k Per Month
Alicia Silverstone's divorce agreement calls for her to pay her ex-husband spousal support -- but she's included a clause that gets her out of it sooner than usual.
Alicia and Chris Jarecki's divorce was finalized earlier this month, and according to docs ... she'll be forking out $12,000 each month to him in spousal support. They've also agreed to joint legal and physical custody of their 7-year-old son Bear Blu.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Alicia and Chris have agreed on a "cohabitation" clause. It means she will stop paying Chris if he shacks up with someone for 5 months within a 1 year period. Normally, spousal support has to pay until the other person gets married.
Clearly, Alicia wanted to make sure Chris couldn't slow play a new relationship ... just to keep getting the $12k monthly.
The exes were married for almost 13 years. For what it's worth, her rep says Alicia and Chris are "still close friends."
