Celebrity Divorce

Daivd Otunga just won a big legal victory in his custody battle with Jennifer Hudson ... he gets their son for Thanksgiving.

TMZ has learned both sides squared off in court Tuesday and David made his case to spend the holiday with 8-year-old David Jr. TMZ broke the story, cops threw David out of the family home after Jennifer got an order of protection claiming she was afraid David would hurt her and her son. David says she's lying and vengeful because they were at an impasse over custody.

We've learned, according to the new order, David Jr. will be with his dad from Thanksgiving day at 3 PM to 7 PM the following day.

There's a hearing set for Monday where David will ask the judge to vacate the order of protection.

We're told David will also ask the judge on Monday to give him temporary custody of David Jr., claiming he's the primary caregiver. He also wants possession of the residence -- where he pays rent -- during the 2 weeks she'll be traveling for work -- between November 26 and December 8.

Black Friday came early for David Hasselhoff -- he got his spousal support payments to Pamela Bach cut in half.

According to docs, Pamela and David reached an agreement where he will write her a $5,000 check each month. As we reported, David actually wanted the amount to be zero -- citing his reduced income and her failure to get a job.

The Hoff was previously paying $10k per month ... which was down from $21k monthly. He says he's paid her more than $2.5 mil since their divorce in 2006.

Jesse Williams scored a victory in his child custody dispute with his estranged wife, Aryn Drake-Lee -- he's going to begin having overnight visits with his kids.

According to a new order in the case, Jesse will get their kids overnight if his scheduled visit with them falls on a weekend. In other words, Friday and Saturday night PJ parties at Dad's place!

In the docs, the exes also spell out a bunch of other terms:

Keegan-Michael Key is officially a single man ... but it's gonna cost him boatloads of cash.

According to docs obtained by TMZ ... Keegan's gonna have to shell out $34k per month in spousal support to Cynthia Blaise and he'll have to kick in an additional 21% of his gross income on anything he earns above $2.153 million a year, but she's capped out at $700k per year.

But it doesn't end there. Keegan also cut her a check for $655k to even out the division of assets. She also gets to keep a timeshare in Mexico and her Subaru Crosstrek.

It's not all bad news for the former "Key & Peele" star. He gets to keep his Tesla and several bank accounts. And even though he's gotta shell out a ton of cash, he doesn't seem the least bit worried ... seeing as he appears to already be engaged.

TMZ broke the story ... the "Friends from College" star filed for divorce in January of 2015. They had no children.

Rapper Tech N9ne and Lecoya LeJeune can pour out all the Caribou Lou they want ... their 22-year marriage is officially over.

The couple's divorce was finalized earlier this month ... according to court records. The divorce judgment says Tech walks away with his 49% of Strange Music as well as his management company.

Lecoya gets various bank accounts, and Tech will make an asset equalization payment to her of $150k. He'll also pay monthly spousal support of $5,555.55 for 6 years. Nines woulda been way cooler ... although more expensive.

They separated in 2005, but Tech didn't file for divorce until 2015. No child support or custody issues because their 2 kids are now adults.

Tyrese Gibson is not only on the ropes emotionally, but financially as well.

Tyrese submitted legal docs to the court in his ongoing war with ex-wife Norma Gibson, detailing his financials.

The actor pulls in $105,686 every month. That's sweet, except when you look at what he spends. Tyrese says his monthly nut is $107,576, which puts him in the red.

The docs say Tyrese has $884,658 in the bank. He also has real property worth around $1.7 mil.

David Hasselhoff claims he's busted his ex-wife lying about being too injured to get a job, and there's video to prove it ... TMZ has learned.

The Hoff filed docs in his spousal support battle with Pamela Bach, and says her claim that a 2003 motorcycle accident is limiting her ability to find work is total BS. According to the docs, Pamela's been posting tons of social media showing herself getting very physical.

For instance, David says a Facebook video Pamela posted in April shows her running around on a basketball court, taking shot after shot. Worth noting ... she's not very good, so it's debatable if this helps or hurts the Hoff's case.

David says there's more video evidence -- a February post shows her smoking hookah and dancing in a nightclub with young men. Another shows her moving boxes of clothing, and maneuvering around mannequins.

"Little Women: LA" star Briana Renee was fed up with her hubby's cheating ways, so she's finally called it quits ... TMZ has learned.

A source connected to the former couple tells us Briana broke up with Matt Grundhoffer last month because there was no way of resuscitating their 3-year marriage. We're told they found it impossible to bounce back from Matt's constant cheating and flirting -- some of which was seen on the show.

Matt copped to straying at times, and it sparked multiple fights.

Now, the hard part. Briana and Matt have a 16-month-old son together, and 2 kids from previous relationships. They're still living together while they figure out new arrangements, but they sleep in separate rooms.

We're told there's zero chance of reconciliation, and divorce is looming.

Two actors who starred on Shonda Rhimes shows are now officially single ... TMZ has learned.

Liza Weil and Paul Adelstein's divorce has been finalized more than a year after the original filing. Liza stars on "How to Get Away with Murder" and Paul's on "Scandal."

According to divorce docs, obtained by TMZ, Liza and Paul's divorce was signed off by a judge this week after they privately came to terms in August. The details of those terms were not disclosed.

As we reported ... Liza had requested joint custody of their 5-year-old daughter, and they were planning to deal with spousal support in mediation. Weil and Adelstein split after 10 years of marriage.

That's how you get away with a scandal-free divorce.

Mel B and Stephen Belafonte have settled the domestic violence portion of their nasty divorce.

We're told the 2 have reached an agreement and Mel has withdrawn her domestic violence restraining order against Stephen.

The implication ... it opens the door for Stephen to see his 6-year-old daughter Madison.

We're also told Mel B and Stephen settled a portion of their property division.

There has been no resolution of the Lorraine Gilles matter -- she's the former nanny who claims Mel B pressured her into having 3-ways with the couple. However, we're told they're close to reaching a resolution.

Jeremy Meeks has a hot button ... anyone asking about his estranged wife's miscarriage -- beware of the stare.

We got the "hot felon" leaving Catch with his GF, heiress Chloe Green, where our photog asked about his ex, Melissa Meeks, saying she suffered a miscarriage soon after hearing about him getting with Chloe. Check out his reaction.

He also grouses, albeit inaudibly, over reports he's raking in $1 mil/month.

It's interesting ... he clearly wanted to be shot by paparazzi -- it's what happens at Catch.

Jill Scott is pulling the plug on her marriage after less than 18 months, and says it would be "unsafe" for her to continue living with her husband.

Jill and Mike Dobson got married in June 2016, but in her divorce docs, obtained by TMZ, she cites "inappropriate marital conduct that such further cohabitation would be unsafe and improper." She also cites irreconcilable differences.

According to the docs -- first reported by Bossip -- the singer says they've been separated and living in separate homes since September 5. Jill also says they have a prenup, and she wants it enforced.

The couple did not have any kids together.

Tamar Braxton's estranged husband, Vincent Herbert, is stunned by his mother-in-law's strong insinuation he's an abusive man capable of killing her daughter ... and he totally denies it.

A source close to Vincent tells TMZ ... he has no idea why Evelyn Braxton told us she's fearful his impending divorce from Tamar could get deadly because he's no abuser -- he loves Tamar and would never hurt her.

We're told Vincent's upset over Evelyn's comments because he feels this type of story could negatively affect their 4-year-old son when he's older. Our source says Vince doesn't want beef with Evelyn ... he says he's going to pray for her.

Our source says Herbert still plans to fight to win Tamar back and reconcile their marriage despite what her family wants ... and be a good dad in the process.

Laurence Fishburne and Gina Torres hashed out a divorce deal before he went to court to make it official ... TMZ has learned.

Laurence filed divorce docs and they confirmed what TMZ reported Friday -- Laurence and the "Suits" star likely spent the last year divvying up assets. They announced their split last September but list October 14, 2016 as the date of separation.

In docs obtained by TMZ ... Laurence says, "the parties have entered into an agreement in disposition of property which will be submitted for approval" ... as in waiting for the judge to sign off on it.

Laurence cites irreconcilable differences for why he wants out. They were married on September 22, 2002. He checked the boxes for joint legal and physical custody of their 10-year-old daughter, Delilah, ... and wants to block the judge from giving either of them spousal support.

Evelyn Braxton just worried out loud her daughter's estranged husband, Vincent Herbert, is capable of killing Tamar.

Tamar's mom didn't hold back at LAX Friday ... sending a loud and clear message to Vince to keep his hands off her child. Evelyn is genuinely fearful that the impending divorce between Tamar and Vince could get deadly and desperately wants him to stay away from her.

Former NFL star Kerry Rhodes and actress Nicky Whelan have called it quits in their marriage ... after less than 6 months!!!

The 2 filed divorce paperwork Wednesday together ... and it looks like it should be a pretty smooth process. They both gave up their right for spousal support and say they have no community assets together.

Kerry and Nicky were wed on April 14, 2017 and list their date of separation as October 1. The Australian actress wants her last name back, too.

Rhodes last played for the Arizona Cardinals in 2012 ... and dabbled in acting himself after leaving football.
