Ron DeSantis Vs. Gavin Newsom Here's the Real Poop!!! DeSantis Craps on San Fran
Gavin Newsom went toe-to-toe with Ron DeSantis on the debate stage Thursday, trading blows on a variety of important issues impacting the country, including human feces!!
The California Guv and his Florida counterpart went at each other onstage during the Fox News debate hosted by Sean Hannity -- but the 1.5-hour conversation took an unusual turn when DeSantis brought up poop on the sidewalks of San Francisco.
DeSantis held up a photo of the excrement-laden Northern California city, explaining that human waste on the streets is a way of life now in SF.
The 2024 Republican presidential candidate also pointed out that Newsom only cleaned up the City recently for a visit from Chinese dictator Xi Jinping.
Newsom appeared flustered, nervously laughing and calling it all nonsense.
The "Great Red State Versus Blue State Debate" had some other tense moments, like when DeSantis accused his Democrat rival of running a shadow campaign for prez.
Gavin Newsom is directly asked if he is running a shadow campaign for when Joe Biden drops out during the DeSantis Newsom debate.

"Joe Biden will be our nominee in a matter of weeks. In a matter of weeks Sean, he'll [Desantis] be endorsing Donald Trump"
We might have to revisit… pic.twitter.com/tOw5yEP3JF
But, Newsom didn't take the bait, throwing his support behind current president and 2024 democratic frontrunner Joe Biden. He pointed to Biden's record of creating "fourteen million jobs, 10 times more than the last three Republican presidents combined.”
DeSantis then took aim at Biden's US-Mexico border crisis, saying the Democrats are lying to the public about the issue as millions of undocumented migrants have poured into the country.
Newsom returned fire, blasting DeSantis for busing migrants from the Texas border to Martha's Vineyard “so that you can out-Trump Trump.” He then mocked DeSantis' poll numbers, saying, "You’re down 41 points in your own state."
There were more fireworks when DeSantis botched the name of VP Kamala Harris. Newsom quickly corrected DeSantis and chastised him ... “Shame on you. It’s Madame Vice President to you.”
The governors also attacked each other on crime, taxes, abortion, environmental protections and the Coronavirus pandemic.
All in all, it was a very heated debate with both governors landing blows, however there was no clear winner. But, given the questioning was clearly anti-Newsom, he deserves credit for going into the Republican lion's den.

Teairra Marí to Keri Hilson Hope You're Ready to Fight ... I'm Coming To Whoop Your Ass!!!
Teairra Marí says she's done with Keri Hilson's passive-aggressive attitude and wants to get fully aggressive -- as in serving Keri with a first-class butt kickin' for years of talking behind her back!!!
The R&Beef sizzled on Thursday when Teairra got wind of Keri's chat on Tank's podcast last month.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Keri recalled a time the Teairra was sitting in the front row at one of her concerts and was feeding her toxic "I-don't-wanna-be-here" energy while she was onstage.
The "Pretty Girl Rock" singer says it's important for artists to give one another love during performances, and Teairra was doing the complete opposite.
Teairra didn't take kindly to Keri's recollection of events, and then wrote a fiery threat in the "The Neighborhood Talk" comment section ... "Y'all, people gotta leave me alone. I don't bother anybody, just leave me the f*** alone.! so now, Keri! what's up you wanna fight or do you not want to fight because I'm gonna whoop your ass when I see you I'm sick of you people bothering me! You had a whole different story when I was in your face you're a liar bitch!!"
This battle probably won't be settled with the standard Verzuz setup. Teairra sounds like she wants to inflict pain on Keri by any means necessary!!!
Maybe Tank will referee the fight ... having instigated it and all.

John Oates dice que está muy dolido por las acusaciones de su socio musical distanciado, que trató de vender en secreto su mitad de la empresa Hall & Oates.
John presentó una declaración en un tribunal de Tennessee, diciendo que está "profundamente herido" porque Daryl Hall tomó una disputa privada que estaban teniendo y la hizo vergonzosamente pública.
John Oates Says He's Hurt By Daryl Hall's Accusations Over 'Ambush' Sale
Como ya informamos, Hall ha acudido a los tribunales, por lo que afirma fue una maniobra de Oates para vender su parte de "Whole Oats Enterprises", la empresa que formaron para controlar algunos de los activos del grupo.
Hall afirma que Oates lo puso en una situación incómoda al encontrar un comprador al que Hall no quiere. Hall consiguió una orden de restricción temporal, deteniendo la venta hasta que un juez pueda determinar si Oates tenía derecho a hacer el trato.
En su declaración, Oates dice: "Daryl ha sido constante y públicamente inflexible en ser percibido como un individuo y no como parte de un dúo o grupo".
Quedó claro el año pasado, cuando Hall apareció en el podcast "Club Random" de Bill Maher, que no había amor perdido entre los dos.
Oates dice que no puede hablar de los detalles, pero reconoce que "Daryl y yo no hemos estado de acuerdo". La cosa es que quiere que esos mirones sean ojos privados.
Oates insiste en que está tratando de mantener la integridad de Hall & Oates, pero está teniendo problemas porque Hall no quiere trabajar con él.
Quédense atentos...
Hall & Oates Oates 'Deeply Hurt' By Hall's Allegations ... I'm Not a Backstabber!!!

John Oates says he's gutted by his estranged musical partner's allegations ... that he tried to secretly sell his half of a Hall & Oates enterprise.
John filed a declaration in a Tennessee court, saying he's "deeply hurt" that Daryl Hall took a private dispute they were having and made it embarrassingly public.
As we reported, Hall has gone to court over what he claims was a move by Oates to sell off his share of "Whole Oats Enterprises," the company they formed to control some of the group's assets.
Hall claims Oates ambushed him by finding a buyer whom Hall does not want. Hall got a temporary restraining order, halting the sale until a judge could determine whether Oates had the right to make the deal.
In his declaration, Oates says, "Daryl has consistently and publicly been adamant about being perceived as an individual rather than as part of a duo or group."
It was clear last year when Hall appeared on Bill Maher's "Club Random" podcast, there was no love lost between the two.
Oates says he can't talk about the specifics, but acknowledges "Daryl and I have not seen eye to eye." Thing is ... he wants those peepers to be private eyes.
Oates insists he's trying to maintain the integrity of Hall & Oates, but he's having trouble because Hall will not work with him.
Stay tuned ...

Elon Musk Rips Iger, X Advertisers ... 'Go F*** Yourself!!!'
Elon Musk has a message for Disney CEO Bob Iger and all the other advertisers fleeing his social media platform -- don't let the door hit ya on the way out, and go screw yourselves while you're at it.
The owner of X was talking shop on CNBC -- on the heels of his recent Israel visit, and in the wake of antisemitism allegations -- and he fired away about the exodus of corporations cutting ties with him.
Check it out ... he says he actually hopes they stop advertising permanently, and then dropped a very clear "Go f*** yourself" proclamation to everybody who's jumping ship.
Elon Musk Sees 'Truth' in Antisemitic Tweet About Jews Hating Whites
You can tell the host was shocked by Elon's choice words -- especially while live on the air -- so, naturally, EM said it again, and then asked if he'd made himself clear. He certainly had!
Elon explained that he feels like he's being blackmailed by these companies with the hope of paying for ads, and emphasized he wouldn't sacrifice his free speech policies for monetary gain ... even if, apparently, it means hurting his bottom line.
Funny enough, Elon singled out Iger in his remarks here, playfully calling out "Bob" as someone who was probably watching in the audience. Indeed, Disney was one of the major companies to pause its advertising with X ... as did many others.
Iger actually addressed that today as well -- before Elon's snipe -- and said, "We know that Elon is larger than life in many respects, and that his name is very much connected to the companies he founded or owns. By him taking the position he took in a public manner, we felt that the association was not necessarily a positive one for us."
Seems like the relationship's getting worse, not better.

KIM ZOLCIAK AND KROY BIERMANN Hibachi Lunch Date ... Week After Cops Called For Explosive Fight
Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann are seemingly back on track once again after an explosive fight prompted one of their kids to call the cops ... this time, grabbing some lunch together with plenty of laughs.
The former reality TV stars went out Wednesday to a Japanese steakhouse and sushi joint, Kani House, in Duluth, Georgia ... sitting down for lunch in front of the hibachi grill.
Kim documented the date for social media -- as usual -- mentioning Kroy while filming and asking why he doesn't do knife tricks in the kitchen like the hibachi chef. Kroy laughs from off camera, joking that's what he does when Kim's not around ... which could actually make sense given the fact they're supposed to stay separated in the house.
The hibachi chef also created a rice heart for Kim and Kroy ... and she loves it, calling it "cute."
In the clips, Kim and Kroy are both laughing and seem to be having a good time ... a stark contrast from last week, when cops responded to their home for an explosive fight in front of their kids.
As we've told you ... Kim and Kroy were bickering over finances for weeks before things reached a boiling point, fighting after a seemingly nice public outing with their kids.
The estranged couple's in dire financial straits, but we've seen them go out for fancy dinners amid their money woes and nasty divorce ... and this seems to be a similar situation.
No boring moments with these two.

Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann Comparten un almuerzo hibachi A una semana de explosiva pelea
Kim Zolciak y Kroy Biermann están aparentemente en marcha una vez más, después de que una explosiva pelea provocara que uno de sus hijos llamara a la policía. Esta vez, compartieron un almuerzo juntos con un montón de risas.
Las ex estrellas de reality shows fueron a un restaurante japonés este miércoles, llamado Kani House, en Duluth, Georgia y se sirvieron una parilla hibachi para almorzar.
Kim documentó la cita en sus redes sociales, como de costumbre, mientras filmaba a Kroy y le preguntaba por qué no hacía unos trucos con el cuchillo de cocina como el chef hibachi. Ahí, Kroy se ríe fuera de cámara y bromea que eso es lo que hace cuando Kim no está cerca, lo que podría tener sentido dado que deberían estar separados en casa.
El chef hibachi también creó un corazón de arroz para Kim y Kroy, lo que a ella le encantó y calificó como "lindo".
En los clips, ambos Kim y Kroy están riendo y parecen estar pasando un buen rato, algo que contrasta con lo ocurrido la semana pasada, cuando los policías respondieron a una llamada de sus hijos por una explosiva pelea en casa.
Como les hemos contado, Kim y Kroy venían discutiendo sobre sus finanzas en las semanas previas a que las cosas llegaran a un punto de ebullición. La pelea también se dio después de una aparentemente agradable salida pública con sus hijos.
La pareja separada está en graves apuros financieros, pero los hemos visto tener varias cenas de lujo en medio de su desagradable divorcio, y esto parece ser algo similar.
Defnitivamente no hay momentos aburridos con estos dos.
ELON MUSK Rips Iger, X y patrocinadores... ¡váyanse a la mierda!
Elon Musk tiene un mensaje para el CEO de Disney, Bob Iger, y todos los demás anunciantes que huyen de su plataforma de medios sociales: "No dejes que la puerta te golpee en la salida y vete a la mierda".
El propietario de X habló en la CNBC tras su reciente visita a Israel y a raíz de las acusaciones de antisemitismo disparó sobre el éxodo de las empresas que cortan lazos con él.
Échale un vistazo... dice que espera que dejen de hacer publicidad de forma permanente y luego dejó caer una muy clara "Vete a la mierda" proclamación a todo el mundo que está saltando del barco.
Elon Musk Sees 'Truth' in Antisemitic Tweet About Jews Hating Whites
Se puede decir que el presentador se sorprendió por las palabras de Elon - especialmente en directo - por lo que, naturalmente, EM lo dijo de nuevo, y luego le preguntó si había sido claro. Desde luego que sí.
Elon explicó que se siente como si estuviera siendo chantajeado por estas empresas con la esperanza de pagar por los anuncios, e hizo hincapié en que no iba a sacrificar sus políticas de libertad de expresión para la ganancia monetaria ... incluso si, al parecer, significa perjudicar a su línea de fondo.
Curiosamente, Elon señaló a Iger en sus comentarios aquí, llamando juguetonamente a "Bob" como alguien que probablemente estaba viendo en la audiencia. De hecho, Disney fue una de las principales empresas que puso en pausa su publicidad con X... al igual que muchas otras.
Iger también se ha referido a ello hoy, antes del ataque de Elon, y ha dicho: "Sabemos que Elon es más grande que la vida en muchos aspectos, y que su nombre está muy relacionado con las empresas que ha fundado o de las que es propietario. Al adoptar la postura que adoptó de forma pública, sentimos que la asociación no era necesariamente positiva para nosotros."
Parece que la relación va a peor, no a mejor.
PRÍNCIPE WILLIAM IGNORÓ AL PRÍNCIPE HARRY JUSTO ANTES DEL FALLECIMIENTO DE LA RI2 … Asegura nuevo libro
El Príncipe Harry fue dejado en visto horas antes de la muerte de su abuela, la Reina Isabel II, el año pasado, y la persona que lo ignoró no fue otra que su hermano William.
Un nuevo libro del experto real Omid Scobie hace una sorprendente afirmación: en particular, que Bill ignoró por completo los mensajes de Harry mientras intentaba planear un viaje para volar desde California al Reino Unido con la esperanza de ver a la Reina Isabel II antes de su fallecimiento.
Una fuente asegura que todos los mensajes de Harry a su hermano quedaron sin respuesta, con la aparente razón de que… "Claramente, no quería ver a su hermano".
Ya que William no estaba comunicándose con Harry… el libro de Scobie, "Endgame: Dentro de la familia real y la lucha de la monarquía por la supervivencia", afirma que el Duque de Sussex tuvo que descubrir lo que estaba sucediendo por su cuenta… lo que requirió que reservara un costoso jet privado.
Scobie alega que Harry tuvo que desembolsar $30,000 para volar solo… esto mientras PW estaba en su propio vuelo privado con el Príncipe Edward y su propia esposa. El libro afirma que Harry no tenía idea de si la Reina ya había fallecido o no… y la noticia de su muerte se dio a conocer mientras él estaba en el aire.
Sobre cómo supuestamente se sintió Harry al respecto… Scobie cita a una fuente que menciona: "Harry estaba destrozado. Su relación con la Reina lo era todo para él. Ella habría querido que él lo supiera antes de que saliera al mundo".
Este amigo anónimo de Harry agrega: "Podrían haber esperado un poco más, no habría sido nada en el gran esquema de las cosas, pero nadie respetó eso en absoluto".
Por supuesto, cuando Harry finalmente llegó a Escocia, donde la Reina estaba en su lecho de muerte antes de fallecer, ya era demasiado tarde… y no tuvo la oportunidad de despedirse.
Su presencia en el Reino Unido en ese momento fue solemne… y aunque él y William mostraron un frente unido para conmemorar a su abuela… este libro sugiere que las cosas estaban increíblemente frías entre ellos tras bambalinas. Ahora, con su reciente historial en mente… eso no es sorpresa.
La realidad es que… las famosas afirmaciones de Harry y Meghan sobre el racismo dentro de la institución real incluyeron la insinuación de que tal vez el mismo William había participado, algo que el Príncipe de Gales negó rotundamente en su momento. Es decir, poco decir que… a Will no le gustó cómo manejó Harry su salida como miembro senior de la realeza, y todo lo demás que ocurrió después… Al público y de otras maneras.
Incluso ahora, su relación parece helada, en el mejor de los casos… hay reportes que afirman que William no "derramará una lágrima" si Harry y Meg no logran estar en las festividades navideñas en el Reino Unido.
Prince William Ghosted Harry Before QE2 Died ... New Books Claims
Prince Harry was left on read in the hours before his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, died last year -- and the person ghosting him was none than his brother ... William.
A new book from Royal insider Omid Scobie makes the shocking claim ... namely, that Bill completely ignored Harry's texts as he was attempting to make travel plans to fly from California to the UK in hopes of seeing QE2 before she passed.
One source says all of Harry's messages to his old sibling went unanswered -- with the apparent rationale being ... "He clearly didn't want to see his brother."
Since William wasn't communicating with Harry ... Scobie's book -- "Endgame: Inside the Royal Family and the Monarchy's Fight for Survival" -- says the Duke of Sussex had to figure out what was going on all on his own ... which required him to book a pricey private jet.
Scobie alleges Harry had to shell out $30k to fly over solo ... this as PW was on his own private flight with Prince Edward and his own wife. The book claims Harry had no idea if the Queen had died already or not ... and word of her death actually broke while he was in the air.
As far as how Harry supposedly felt about this .... Scobie cites a source as saying, "Harry was crushed. His relationship with the Queen was everything to him. She would have wanted him to know before it went out to the world."
This anonymous pal of Harry's adds, "They could have waited just a little longer, it would have been nothing in the grand scheme of things, but no one respected that at all."
Of course, when Harry did finally arrive in Scotland -- where the Queen was on her deathbed before eventually passing on -- it was too late ... and he hadn't had a chance to say goodbye.
His presence in the UK at the time was solemn -- and while he and Will put on a united front to commemorate their grandma ... this book now suggests things were incredibly frost between them behind the scenes. Now, with their recent history in mind ... that's no shock.
Fact is ... Harry and Meghan's infamous claims of racism within the Royal institution included a hint that perhaps William himself had partaken in all that -- something the Prince of Wales firmly denied at the time. It's an understatement to say ... Will didn't like how Harry handled his exit as a Senior Royal, and everything else that came afterward -- public and otherwise.
Even now, their relationship seems icy at best ... there are reports that claim William won't "shed a tear" if Harry and Meg don't make it for Christmas time festivities in the UK.

Demetrius Andrade wants to fight Canelo Alvarez, finally ... after he beats David Benavidez later today ... the boxer says that's if the Mexican superstar stops duckin' him!
The 32-0 (19 KOs) boxer has the biggest fight of his career against Benavidez on Nov 25. ... going down at the Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
Considering Andrade is an elite fighter in the eyes of many, it's puzzling that the 35-year-old hasn't gotten high-level fights until now. but DA tells TMZ Sports he understands why ... fighters are afraid of him.
"The point [is] that I can really hurt somebody," Andrade said, "I can hurt careers, too."
And, the boxers Andrade says are avoiding him is a whose who ... we're talking brand name boxers like Jermall Charlo, Gennady Golovkin, and Canelo, who Demetrious ripped for taking on weaker opponents instead of him.
"It's a difficult fight for them. It's business, too," Andrade said. "Those are all three guys that trying to save themselves. Fight the easier fights."
"Canelo can end up picking 'em because they're more beatable than I am."
Andrade believes the winner of the fight with Benavidez (27-0, 23 KOs) should get Alvarez next ... and of course, he promises that it will be him.
"I'm going to beat his ass!" Andrade said of Benavidez.
"I know that in this fight, there's gonna be a lot of hard punches coming towards his way."
We also spoke with Benavidez about the huge fight ... and he explained to us what a win on Saturday would mean to him.
David also told us how he's planning to hand Andrade his first L ... and he can't wait to knock the guy out.
And, since the bout goes down on Thanksgiving weekend, we asked both guys what they plan to do on Turkey Day ... and ya gotta check out what they said!!

Swerve Stickland and "Hangman" Adam Page used everything from a barbed wire-wrapped chair to a heavy-duty staple gun to beat the s*** out of each other during last weekend's AEW match. We asked Swerve how he felt after the bloody match, and what part was most painful.
Swerve joined Mojo Muhtadi on "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs nightly on FS1) ... and talked about the Texas Deathmatch at AEW's Full Gear, which Strickland ultimately won. But, he paid a price.
"It was that Hangman Moonsault with the chair and barbed wire. Hangman is a deceptively massive man in itself. Receiving a Moonsault from him at that height and that weight and that speed and velocity already takes a lot out of you," Swerve told us.
"Add in a metal chair wrapped in like probably hundreds of yards of barbed wire wrapped in a spool around it, it just scraped across me, along with Hangman landing across me. Out of all the brutal stuff we did in that match, that was probably the one that stuck out."

With the big match under his belt and Strickland's stock being at an all-time high, we asked him what was next.
Swerve mentioned competing in the upcoming Continental Classic tournament ... but also has his sights set on something more historic.
"I feel like I catapulted myself as one of the top guys in the industry. And I said this before, earlier in the year, I really feel I can be the first African American AEW world champion."
Great matches require two wrestlers putting in work ... and Strickland spoke very highly of his opponent. In fact, he thinks "Hangman" Adam Page could be this generation's Mick Foley.

Swerve se unió a Mojo Muhtadi en el programa de televisión "TMZ Sports" (se emite todas las noches en FS1), y habló sobre el Texas Deathmatch en Full Gear de AEW, que Strickland finalmente ganó. Pero, pagó un precio.
"Fue ese Hangman Moonsault con la silla y el alambre de púas. Hangman es un hombre engañosamente grande. Recibir un Moonsault de él a esa altura y ese peso y esa velocidad y rapidez ya te quita mucho", nos dijo Swerve.
"Si a eso le añadimos una silla de metal envuelta en cientos de metros de alambre de púas que se enrollaba en una bobina a su alrededor, simplemente me raspó, y Hangman aterrizó sobre mí. De todas las cosas brutales que hicimos en ese combate, esa fue probablemente la que más me llamó la atención".

Una brutal pelea estalló en el estadio justo antes de que comenzara el partido de Lionel Messi el martes por la noche y la pelea llegó a ser tan grande y sangrienta que el partido se retrasó varios minutos para que la policía pudiera tener todo bajo control.
La escaramuza en el interior del estadio Maracaná de Río de Janeiro comenzó cuando sonaban los himnos nacionales de Brasil y Argentina justo antes de que se diera inicio al partido por las clasificatorias al Mundial.

Un video muestra cómo los fanáticos de ambos equipos, que estaban sentados cerca al interior del recinto, comienzan a atacarse, lo que desencadena una pelea masiva.
Se puede ver a hombres cubiertos de sangre y a niños llorando. Las autoridades tuvieron que utilizar hasta sus porras para tratar de controlar el estallido.
Messi y otros jugadores que se encontraban en el campo de juego se terminaron acercando a la zona de los combatientes y les rogaron que se calmaran.
Al final, el icono del fútbol sacó a su equipo del campo y lo llevó de vuelta a los vestuarios. Pudieron regresar una media hora después cuando los enfrentamientos se habían calmado.
El equipo argentino de Messi terminó venciendo a Brasil 1-0, pero el jugador de 36 años tuvo que abandonar el juego antes de tiempo debido a una lesión en la ingle.
Después, le dijo a los periodistas que estaba agradecido de que la situación en las gradas no hubiera pasado a mayores.
"Podría haber sido un desastre", dijo Messi.
Tras la victoria, Argentina encabeza la clasificación para el Mundial, mientras que Brasil ocupa la sexta posición.
Lionel Messi Match Delayed After Huge Brawl In Stands ... Fans Beaten, Bloodied
A wild fight broke out just before Lionel Messi's game on Tuesday night ... and the brawl became so large and so bloody -- the soccer star's match was actually delayed so police could get everything under control.
The skirmish inside of Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro initially started as the national anthems for Brazil and Argentina were playing just before their World Cup qualifier match kicked off.

Video from the scene shows fans from both teams who were seated near each other inside of the venue began whaling on each other ... and, quickly, it turned into a massive fracas.
Grown men were seen covered in blood ... while children sitting nearby were in tears. At one point during the action, authorities had to use batons on spectators to try to control the outburst.
Messi and other players on the pitch, meanwhile, eventually made their way over to the area of the combatants -- and pleaded with everyone to calm down.
Ultimately, the soccer icon led his team off the field and back into the locker room ... before returning roughly half an hour later to play after the fighting had tailed off.
Messi's Argentinian squad ended up besting Brazil, 1-0 ... but the 36-year-old had to leave the contest early due to a groin injury.
Afterward, he told reporters he was grateful the situation in the stands didn't escalate even further than it did.
"There could have been a disaster," Messi said.
Following the win, Argentina now sits atop World Cup qualifying ... while Brazil is currently in sixth place.

KIM ZOLCIAK AND KROY BIERMANN PEACEFUL FAMILY OUTING Hours Before Cops Called for Fight
Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann painted the picture of a happy family during a low-key outing with their kids Monday ... a scene that drastically changed 2 hours later when cops were called to settle an explosive fight.
Both were seen together leaving a barbershop in Alpharetta, Georgia, with some of their kids in tow before making a stop at a nearby Starbucks.
On the surface, all seemed well -- but on closer inspection, Kim and Kroy were without their wedding rings again. As we first reported, not long after the errands all peace was shattered when one of their kids called the cops over their "extremely loud" argument.
Law enforcement sources told us 3 officers and a supervisor arrived at the estranged pair's mansion to try to settle the verbal domestic dispute ... eventually calming things down.
Officers are practically seasoned guests at the duo's home ... first arriving to the property in August when Kim accused Kroy of locking her out of their bedroom ... and a month later telling them she didn't feel safe in her own home.
October brought another revelation by TMZ ... with us breaking the story of a court mandate ordering them to keep their distance at home -- Kim gets the basement and nanny suite and Kroy gets the primary bedroom.
One thing's clear -- despite the pair's efforts to salvage their marriage -- even celebrating their wedding anniversary together recently -- they can't help but find themselves amid conflict ... which we hope they resolve ASAP for their children's sake.
