11:40 AM PT -- A United Airlines spokesperson tells TMZ ... "United flight 762 from Miami to Newark stopped in Orlando on Tuesday evening after a passenger became aggressive and disruptive. Our flight attendants worked to de-escalate the situation and protect other customers and after landing in Orlando, law enforcement met the flight, and the passenger was removed. We’re grateful to our team for their professionalism and for looking out for the safety of our customers and their fellow United employees."

A United passenger bit off more than she could chew during a recent flight ... quite literally, 'cause the disgruntled flier ripped off a chunk of a flight attendant's uniform in a new video.

TMZ has obtained footage from United Flight 762 from Miami to Newark, New Jersey Tuesday ... and, it shows an upset passenger screaming at other passengers while the flight crew tries to restrain her, wrapping zip ties around her wrists.

Jose Cuervo is not a friend of a Georgia couple who engaged in some gross margarita shenanigans ... because they've both been busted.

The man -- who tried funneling a drink down the woman's ass -- has been ID'd as Joe Boyett. He, along with Mary Sweat, were arrested for misdemeanor public indecency ... after video of their hijinks went viral.

As if their clowning wasn't bad enough, Mary triggered the arrest after she went to cops and complained someone had leaked the video and it was spreading like wildfire on social media. Up to that point, police were in the dark, but once they saw the video the couple got arrested.

Don't think for a second Fat Joe's social media and political ambassador career is making him forget his roots as an MC ... he's returning to music with a new album in August!!!

Joe was feeling all the way up and spilled the tea Tuesday in Bev. Hills. It's been nearly 2 years since his last project, and he should have a lot to rap about!!!

Hip Hop music has been experiencing a renaissance lately ... Nas + DJ Premier and Common + Pete Rock are both releasing collaborative albums and like Joe, Rakim and LL Cool J are also returning to the solo front.

Diddy is going to be indicted any day now ... at least according to an attorney representing one of his alleged sex trafficking victims.

Adria English's attorney Ariel Mitchell-Kidd joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday and told us a possible criminal indictment against the Bad Boy founder is coming sooner than later, and perhaps even "very shortly."

Mitchell-Kidd is definitely in the know here ... her client is the former porn star who recently filed a bombshell lawsuit accusing Diddy of sexual assault and sex trafficking.

Flau'jae Johnson is advising women to wear their fake lashes no matter what Aries Spears or anyone else is saying to the contrary ... do you, boo!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with the LSU hoops star in Hollywood on Tuesday and she hit a fast break on Aries' recent comments slamming the current fashion trend of oversized eyelash extensions.

Women of all nationalities and races are gluing the bristle brushes to their eyelids but Aries primarily targeted his "beautiful Black queens" in his viral PSA ... before calling the lashes ridiculous wastes of time.

A juror in the Karen Read mistrial now confirms what the defense claimed earlier this week -- that the jury voted unanimously to acquit her on 2nd-degree murder -- and the juror told the defense team it would be "unjust" to retry her.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the juror described the last day of the trial as a "whirlwind" and "very confusing." After the judge declared a mistrial, jurors were loaded on a bus and the jurors were wondering, "Is anyone going to know that we acquitted [Karen Read] on Count 1 and 3? No one ever asked about those counts."

As we first reported ... Read was acquitted on charges of murder and leaving the scene of an accident by a unanimous vote of 12-0 in her favor. But, the jury was deadlocked on the last charge – vehicular manslaughter – voting 9-3 in favor of a guilty verdict. For a conviction on the vehicular manslaughter charge, the jury needed to be unanimous.

6:28 PM PT -- George Stephanopoulos tells TMZ in a statement from his rep, "Earlier today, I responded to a question from a passerby. I shouldn't have." An ABC spokesperson tells TMZ, "George expressed his own point of view and not the position of ABC News."

George Stephanopoulos just made a stunning comment on the streets of New York ... telling a pedestrian he doesn't think President Joe Biden can serve another term.

The 'GMA' anchor was out and about Tuesday afternoon on 5th Avenue, wearing workout clothes, when the pedestrian approached him and asked, "Do you think Biden should step down? You've talked to him more than anybody else has lately." George's response -- "I DON'T THINK HE CAN SERVE 4 MORE YEARS."

Family sources tell TMZ ... Gypsy told Ryan about her pregnancy a couple of weeks ago -- news we're told came as a huge blow for him, as he was holding out hope of reconciling their marriage. As one source put it, "He didn't take the news well at all."

Sadly for Ryan, looks like GRB getting back with him after their marriage crumbled in March is slimmer than slim ... 'cause we're told she's got no regrets over being back with her ex-fiancé Ken because she believes he's her person.

Hollywood loves a good exorcism movie, but real people all across the world sometimes claim they are possessed by demons ... and there's real questions surrounding the authenticity of exorcisms.

TMZ Studios has a new series, "Strange & Suspicious," now airing on a dozen FOX stations, where we explore strange, unexplained and downright weird stories, and now we're looking into the validity of exorcisms.

A damage assessment is currently underway on the sprawling property ... but SS tells TMZ that no major damage appears to have been inflicted ... SS also noted there were no reports of injuries from the crew battling at Neverland.

Charlie Wilson says fans recording with their phones at his concerts are A-OK in his book, but he completely understands why Busta Rhymes is drawing a hard line on the topic.

We spoke to the R&B/Funk legend Monday at LAX, fresh off his own performance at the 2024 ESSENCE Festival of Culture in NOLA -- the same place Busta had his latest outburst.

Busta was one of the festival openers and the crowd was still filling in as he and Spliff Starr revved things up.

There's something going on with U.S. Presidents and UFOs ... they've been briefed on the subject, but won't say anything publicly ... and Donald Trump seems scared of disclosure.

TMZ Studios has a new series, "Strange & Suspicious," now airing on a dozen FOX stations, where we explore strange, unexplained and downright weird stories, and former presidents' silence on extraterrestrials speaks volumes.

Trump sounds like he knows something YUGE when it comes to UFOs ... but he always waffles on the issue, at least on camera ... and there may be a reason behind his reluctance to spill the beans.
