Jenelle Evans Ex-Husband Suffers Apparent Overdose ... Terrifying 911 Audio!!!

Jenelle Evans' first husband suffered an apparent overdose at his home in North Carolina ... and his wife's frantic call to dispatchers is chilling.

TMZ obtained audio of the 911 call Courtland Rogers' wife placed Aug. 28 from their home in Wilmington, and she says Courtland is showing signs of an overdose ... describing him as being naked on the toilet while making concerning gurgling sounds.

SCARY SITUATION

Courtland's wife says he locked himself in the bathroom while she was out of the house with their kids ... but she broke down the door to find him unresponsive.

The dispatcher tells Courtland's wife to try getting him off the toilet, and lay him flat on his back on the floor, but he's too heavy for her to move and she resorts to trying CPR.

As Courtland's wife desperately tries to revive him, she screams for him to wake up ... and tells the dispatcher she's unsure what drugs he took and there's no Narcan available to resuscitate him.

Ultimately, paramedics arrive ... and that's when the call stops.

Our law enforcement sources say Courtland survived, and no drugs or paraphernalia were found on scene when authorities arrived.

Courtland  -- who was married to the former "Teen Mom" star from 2012 to 2014 -- has been open in the past about his drug abuse ... estimating he's overdosed 5 times, and admitting heroin's ruined his life.

Kim Zolciak My Marriage Isn't Over ... It's a Work in Progress

Kim Zolciak seems to be in full-blown denial -- or else Kroy has had a radical change of heart -- because she's talking like her marriage is still a work in progress, despite the fact her husband has filed for divorce and wants to sell the family home.

Kim posted, "I'm living here not going anywhere! Been working on our marriage and have been living as husband and wife. The lies daily are too much."

Thing is ... Kroy Biermann has not only filed for divorce ... he wants the kids. He's accused her of sinking the family into a deep financial hole, in part because of her gambling.

Kroy has been trying to get Kim to sign off on selling the family home ... giving they have an IRS debt of more than a mil, and lawsuits totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid personal debts, including a $150,000 SAKS bill.

Kroy's lawyers have told TMZ the divorce is still on, but Kim seems to think it's all salvageable.

Kroy recently locked Kim out of the house, which caused her to call the cops, so things are clearly tense.

Kim Zolciak Not Served Credit Card Lawsuit ... Process Server Told She's Moved?!?

UPDATE

5:28 PM PT -- Kim's rep tells us she's still living at the house ... and Kim recently posted on her Instagram story from inside the home.

Kim Zolciak's estranged husband Kroy Biermann is begging her to sign off on the sale of their Georgia mansion, and according to a process server, he may have gotten his wish!!!

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, a process server tasked with delivering a lawsuit to Kim says they faced a significant hurdle in trying to give her the legal papers ... arriving to her home and getting info she had allegedly moved.

The process server claims he went to Kim and Kroy's mansion Thursday morning and spoke with someone at the home who identified themselves as a resident. The process server claims an unidentified man told them he had "just purchased the property."

As we've told you ... Kim and Kroy are deep in the hole financially, and he's been trying to get her to give the green light to sell their home.

The process server says he's under the belief Kim has moved out, but it's unclear if that's the case ... there's still a possibility whoever answered the door may have been messing with the process server.

We spoke to Kroy's attorney, Marlys A. Bergstrom, who says there's no way Kim's outta the house yet -- she's got too much crap in there to move so quickly. There's also the issue that the house cannot yet be legally sold per the standing order of the court.

As for the lawsuit the server was trying to hit Kim ... it's from SAKS for a credit card she allegedly owes $150,000.

Joe Jonas & Sophie Turner Elvis Who Married Them 'Shocked' By Divorce ... Thought Union Would Last

The Elvis impersonator who officiated Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner's Las Vegas wedding is surprised their marriage is over -- the guy who's overseen countless nuptials thought these 2 would live happily ever after.

Jesse Garon married Joe and Sophie in Sin City back in 2019, and in a rather animated conversation, he tells TMZ ... he's shocked, heartbroken and distraught Joe filed for divorce from Sophie after only 4 years of marriage.

THOUGHT THEY WOULD MAKE IT

The Elvis impersonator says he first thought their divorce was a joke because it seemed to come out of nowhere. He says he thought they were going to last because Joe and Sophie dated for about 3 years before tying the knot. In other words, it wasn't one of those stereotypical spur-of-the-moment Vegas weddings.

Jesse says he's wondering if Joe gave it his all to try and make the marriage work, because he feels like 4 years really isn't that long.

As we reported ... Joe filed for divorce Tuesday, and the trigger for the singer was allegedly Ring camera audio/video of the actress doing or saying something that signaled to him their marriage was over.

Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner Imitador de Elvis que los casó en shock... Pensé que la unión duraría

El imitador de Elvis que ofició la boda de Joe Jonas y Sophie Turner en Las Vegas está sorprendido de que su matrimonio haya terminado. El hombre que ha supervisado innumerables nupcias pensó que estos dos vivirían felices para siempre.

Jesse Garon casó a Joe y Sophie en la "ciudad del pecado" en 2019, y en una conversación bastante animada, le dijo a TMZ que está sorprendido, desconsolado y angustiado de que Joe haya solicitado el divorcio a Sophie después de solo 4 años de matrimonio.

El imitador de Elvis dice que primero pensó que esto era una broma porque parecía salir de la nada. A diferencia de otras típicas bodas improvisadas de Las Vegas, él pensaba que Joe y Sophie iban a durar porque estuvieron saliendo durante tres años antes.

Jesse se pregunta si Joe realmente hizo todo lo posible para salvar el matrimonio, ya que siente que cuatro años no es tanto tiempo.

Como informamos, Joe solicitó el divorcio el martes, y el detonante para el cantante fue supuestamente un audio o video de la cámara Ring de seguridad, con la actriz haciendo o diciendo algo que le hizo pensar que su matrimonio había terminado.

Lenny Hochstein Sues Store Took My Plants from Home While Lisa Moved Out!!!

UPDATE

7:03 PM PT -- A rep for Threlkel Botanicals tells TMZ ... "On Monday, August 28th, Jeff Sophir, owner of Jim Threlkel Botanicals, was contacted by Lisa Hochstein, a long-term client and good friend, to relocate several interior botanicals from her current residence to a new property. During the scheduled relocation, Mr. Hochstein arrived at the property, verbally berated Jim Threlkel staff and blocked their vehicle with his car while threatening to contact local law enforcement.

UPDATE

"Instead, Mr. Sophir contacted law enforcement and they were dispatched to the property. Mr. Hochstein was ordered to leave the premises and the botanicals in question were subsequently removed."

Famed plastic surgeon Lenny Hochstein is dragging a Florida plant store to court ... claiming the company made off with a bunch of plants from his home, years after he paid for them.

According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Lenny says he dropped thousands of dollars on plants from Threlkel Botanicals back in 2020 ... but he claims the store started removing plants and trees from his Miami mansion last week while his estranged wife Lisa Hochstein was moving out.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Lenny, who is divorcing 'The Real Housewives of Miami' star, claims he directly told the store and its owner, Jim Threlkel, not to take the plants from the property ... but Lenny says they were removed anyway.

In the docs, Lenny is crying foul ... he says removing the plants he bought amounts to theft and trespassing.

Lenny also claims Jim acted with "felonious intent and knew he was taking property he was not entitled to."

Lisa and Lenny's divorce has been pretty nasty -- he's already engaged to another woman -- and now Threlkel Botanicals is being pulled into the fray.

Lenny's going after the store to get the plants back and/or damages, and he claims those damages exceed $50K!!!

We reached out to Threlkel Botanicals ... so far no word back.

Joe Jonas Divorce Sources: Joe Pressured Sophie to Attend Events ... As She Struggled Post-Birth

Sophie Turner was struggling after the birth of her second child, and Joe Jonas was "less than supportive," so claims several sources who were around Joe after the birth.

Our sources say, after their youngest child was born a year ago July, Sophie didn't want to leave their home ... she didn't want to be photographed or go to events. Nevertheless, she attended several events with Joe, but at one specific event, several people who were there said Sophie made it clear she was uncomfortable and didn't want to be there.

Shortly after that event, there was another in which Joe attended but Sophie didn't. Our sources say Joe complained Sophie was MIA and felt she needed to get out more. It was clear to the people who were there and heard Joe ... there was a strain in the relationship.

What's interesting ... as we reported, over the last 6 months it seemed the tables had turned for Joe ... he was complaining she was too into partying.

Sources connected to Joe acknowledge "challenges in the relationship," but say Joe was supportive of Sophie getting the London acting gig.

As we reported, Joe filed for divorce Tuesday ... and the trigger for him was allegedly Ring camera audio/video of Sophie doing or saying something.

We reached out to Sophie's team but didn't hear back. Joe's rep declined to comment.

Fuentes dicen Joe presionó a Sophie a ir a eventos mientras lidiaba con su posparto

Sophie Turner estaba pasándolo mal después del nacimiento de su segunda hija y Joe Jonas le dio menos del apoyo que necesitaba, según dicen varias fuentes que estaban cerca de Joe después del nacimiento.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que, después de que su hija menor naciera hace un año, en julio, Sophie no quería salir de su casa. No quería ser fotografiada o ir a eventos. Sin embargo, fue a varios, aunque en uno en concreto, varias personas que estuvieron allí dijeron que Sophie dejó claro que no se sentía cómoda y que no quería estar allí.

Poco después de ese evento, hubo otro en el que Joe asistió, pero Sophie no. Nuestras fuentes dicen que allí el cantante se quejó de que Sophie andaba desaparecida y sintió que ella necesitaba salir más. Para las personas que estuvieron ahí y escucharon a Joe, quedó más que claro que había tensión en la relación.

Lo que es interesante es que, como informamos, en los últimos seis meses pareciera que las cosas habían empezado a tomar un nuevo curso para Joe. Recientemente se quejaba de que ella pasaba demasiado metida en fiestas.

Fuentes cercanas a Joe reconocen que había "problemas en la relación", pero dicen que Joe apoyó a Sophie para que consiguiera el trabajo de actriz en Londres.

Como informamos, Joe pidió el divorcio el martes y el detonante para él fue un supuesto audio o video de Sophie haciendo o diciendo algo, que vio en la cámara Ring de seguridad.

Nos pusimos en contacto con el equipo de Sophie, pero no tuvimos respuesta. El representante de Joe declinó hacer comentarios.

The Jonas Brothers Share Group Hug During Arizona Show ... Amid Joe's Divorce From Sophie

090723_jonas_brothers_kal 9/6/23
BROTHERLY LOVE
The Morning Mess

Joe Jonas got some much-needed love from his brothers during their latest concert in Arizona ... this after his 4-year marriage to Sophie Turner fizzled.

The Jonas Brothers hit the stage at Footprint Center in Arizona Wednesday night to perform for the first time since news broke that Joe filed for divorce from Sophie this week.

Check out this video, which shows Nick, Kevin and Joe pulling each other close for a group hug before launching into one of their hit songs as the packed crowd goes wild. Clearly, Joe can rely on his siblings for their support in the toughest of times.

Earlier, Joe was spotted having breakfast in Los Angeles with the two children he shares with Sophia -- 3-year-old Willa and a 1-year-old daughter, whose name has not been publicly disclosed.

As we reported ... Joe filed for divorce from Sophie in Miami Tuesday, insisting their marriage is "irretrievably broken."

The former couple released a joint statement, saying they "mutually decided to amicably end our marriage" after "four wonderful years." They have a prenup, but the terms of the agreement have not been released.

As we reported, the trigger for Joe ... he's told confidants he heard/saw something with Sophie on Ring video that was the final straw. Sources tell TMZ the marriage was on the rocks for the last 6 months, in part because of different lifestyles.

TMZ broke the story last weekend ... Joe was searching for a divorce attorney and, once he found one, he wasted no time getting the legal process started.

Kroy Biermann to Kim Zolciak Sign Off on This Home Sale, STAT ... Do It for Our Kids' Sake!!!

Kroy Biermann is tired of petty swipes with his estranged wife, Kim Zolciak, amid their divorce, and he's making one urgent plea ... sign off on the sale of their home, STAT.

The ex-NFL star's attorney, Marlys A. Bergstrom, tells us ... Kim's recent on-camera suggestion that Kroy asking a court to let him put the Georgia mansion on the market was actually her idea is simply posturing ... and it's meaningless considering how dire things are.

Bergstrom says Kroy is over all the gamesmanship and simply wants what's in the best interest of everyone involved -- including their 4 children -- and that boils down to selling this house yesterday, collecting whatever equity they can and paying off a ton of debt.

Per KB's attorney, the family's deep in the hole right now -- well north of a million bucks -- and they're also on the verge of having their home foreclosed on for good ... despite Kroy's best efforts to sell personal items and make mortgage payments.

Unless they act soon, we're told, they'll be out on the streets ... with other bill collectors continuing to come after them. Bergstrom says the only way to rectify their financial situation in one fell swoop is to sell the house -- and Kroy is basically begging his wife to come to the table and sign a joint consent agreement that'll get this ball rolling.

Kroy has gone to court in the meantime since he says Kim has failed to meet him halfway -- requesting an emergency hearing to get permission from a judge directly -- but Bergstrom says all that is unnecessary if Kim just plays ball.

Bergstrom tells us Kroy isn't out to hurt Kim, nor does he want to one-up her -- right now, his only focus is protecting their children and helping the family move forward.

Bottom line ... Kroy wants to turn the page, but feels his wife has her head buried in the sand. While she's gallivanting in L.A. -- his lawyer says he's in Georgia trying to navigate their money nightmare ... and he needs her to come back to Earth to face the music.

The saga continues ...

Joe Jonas Takes The Kiddos Out To Eat ... After Filing For Divorce

Joe Jonas made a point to mention he was the one taking care of his daughters in filing for divorce from Sophie Turner ... providing more evidence of that with a breakfast date.

The singer was in dad mode Wednesday at Sweet Butter Kitchen in L.A. with his little ones -- 3-year-old Willa and her 1-year-old sister -- along with another friend who was helping to take care of the girls.

Joe kept a happy face for the kiddos, making them smile and trading high-fives as everyone ate and chatted. In other words, the 34-year-old certainly didn't look like he was in the middle of a divorce.

As you know, Joe filed for divorce from Sophie Tuesday, asking for joint custody of their kids. The docs said Joe wants a judge to establish a parenting plan that sets up frequent contact between him and Sophie.

TMZ broke the story, the couple's relationship had been rough for at least 6 months due to their different lifestyles -- we learned through multiple sources in contact with Joe that he saw something on a Ring camera that made him realize he should pull the plug.

Joe and Sophie have since spoken out, saying in a joint statement that they "mutually decided to amicably end our marriage."

Britney Spears is getting over Sam Asghari by getting on a plane ... and, at least on the surface, she doesn't seem to be sweating the divorce as she has fun down in Cabo San Lucas.

The singer was showing off some moves at a bar called Baja Diablo ... where she was feeling the music Sunday, along with her bodyguard and a female friend in red. The bodyguard was definitely multitasking -- taking a phone call, dancing with Brit and, of course, watching her back.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

Britney's dancing was a bit toned down compared to the moves she normally shares online ... but she was hardly shy as other bar patrons watched her.

Of course, some people were definitely trying to grab a moment, or photo, but Britney's security waved them off as they yelled out her name.

As we reported, Britney certainly hasn't been sulking since Sam filed for divorce last month -- despite saying she was "a little shocked" ... she's shared some old footage of her havin' fun with some shirtless men, and also posted a topless video of herself.

TMZ broke the story, Sam called things off after he believed Britney was cheating on him with a staffer at their home ... and they've cut off all contact with each other.

If Britney's in need of any post-breakup therapy, looks like she's finding it in Mexico.

La cantante mostró algunos movimientos en un bar llamado Baja Diablo, donde mostró alguno de sus pasos durante la noche del domingo junto a su guardaespaldas y una amiga de rojo.

El baile de Britney fue un poco apagado en comparación a los movimientos que normalmente comparte en línea, pero no se mostró tímida mientras otros clientes del bar la miraban.

Como informamos, Britney ciertamente no ha estado inactiva desde que Sam le pidió el divorcio el mes pasado, a pesar de decir que estaba "un poco sorprendida", ha compartido algunas viejas imágenes de ella divirtiéndose con algunos hombres sin camiseta y también publicó un video en toples de sí misma.

TMZ publicó la historia; Sam canceló las cosas después de que él creía que Britney lo estaba engañando con un empleado al interior de su casa y han cortado todo contacto.

Divorcio de Kevin Costner Christine en racha perdedora Juez propina nueva derrota

La ex esposa de Kevin Costner, Christine Baumgartner, está en una racha perdedora, ya que acaba de ser condenada a pagar los honorarios del abogado de Kevin por algunas de sus travesuras.

Como ya informamos, el mes pasado la abogada de Kevin, la reina en divorcios, Laura Wasser, preguntó a Christine si entendía el acuerdo prematrimonial que firmó. Es una pregunta importante porque hay indicios de que Christine impugnará el acuerdo prematrimonial, y entenderlo antes de firmarlo es crucial.

Christine y sus abogados esencialmente dijeron que no entendían lo que significaba "entender".

Hubo MUCHAS idas y vueltas entre los abogados, y la factura de Kevin por intentar obtener una respuesta a la pregunta ascendió a 14.237,50 dólares.

El caso volvió este miércoles a los tribunales, cuando el juez determinó que Christine debe pagar una factura de más de 14.000 dólares a Kevin.

La resolución se produce días después de que Kevin ganara una gran victoria sobre la manutención de sus hijos. Christine pedía 248.000 dólares al mes, pero Kevin argumentó que la cantidad realista y adecuada era de unos 63.000 dólares al mes. El juez aprobó los 63.000 dólares.

Aún no está claro si Christine impugnará el acuerdo prenupcial. Si lo hace y pierde, tendrá que pagar los honorarios del abogado de Kevin incurridos en la defensa del acuerdo prenupcial.

Kevin Costner Divorce Christine Ordered to Pay His Attorney's Fees ... So Now You Understand!!!

Kevin Costner's estranged wife Christine Baumgartner is on a losing streak, because she's just been ordered to pay Kevin's attorney's fees over some shenanigans.

As we reported, last month Kevin's lawyer, disso queen Laura Wasser, asked Christine if she understood the Premarital Agreement she signed. It's a significant question because there are signs Christine will challenge the prenup, and understanding it before signing it is relevant.

Christine and her lawyers essentially said they didn't understand what "understand" meant.

There was A LOT of back-and-forth between lawyers, and Kevin's bill for trying to squeeze an answer to the question amounted to $14,237.50.

The case is back in court today, and the judge just ordered Christine to pay Kevin the $14k+ bill.

This comes days after Kevin won a huge victory over child support. Christine was asking for $248,000 a month, but Kevin argued the realistic and appropriate amount to pay was $63k a month. The judge signed off on the $63k.

It's still unclear if Christine will challenge the prenup. If she does and she loses, she'll have to pay Kevin's attorney's fees incurred in defending the prenup.

Joe Jonas, Sophie Turner Ring Camera Video/Audio was Lynchpin to Divorce

Joe Jonas saw/heard something with Sophie Turner that was the last straw in his decision to file for divorce, and it involves a ring camera.

Multiple sources who have direct contact with Joe tell TMZ ... Joe had access to a ring cam that he said captured Sophie saying and/or doing something that made him realize the marriage was over.

TMZ broke the story ... Joe and Sophie's marriage had been on the rocks for at least 6 months, and it was all over a significant difference in lifestyles. As one source put it, "She likes to party, he likes to stay at home. They have very different lifestyles."

As we reported, over the last 3 months, Joe has had the kids almost all the time. Sophie has been in London, but Joe and his bros were touring the U.S. and he had his 2 small kids in tow.

We know Joe had been in touch with at least 2 divorce lawyers last week. Interestingly, both lawyers are in L.A., yet he decided to file divorce docs Tuesday in Florida.

Joe and Sophie said in a joint statement Wednesday, "After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage. There are many speculative narratives as to why ..."

We reached out to Sophie's team ... they had no comment.
