Fights & Feuds

Los héroes locales que aparecen en "Queer Eye" de Netflix están saliendo en defensa de Jonathan Van Ness, quien ha sido definido recientemente como un "monstruo" en el set de la serie.

Varios participantes que colaboraron con JVN le dicen a TMZ que Jonathan nunca fue poco profesional o grosero durante el rodaje, al menos por lo que vieron. Cory Waldrop, que apareció en la primera temporada, no estaba al tanto de las recientes acusaciones, pero recuerda Jonathan siendo el mismo dentro y fuera de la cámara.

Cory dice que recuerda a Jonathan salir de su manera de tratarlo como la estrella del espectáculo, lo que le permite cortar la línea de camiones de alimentos de producción durante la grabación.

William Mahnken -que apareció en el segundo episodio de la temporada 2- ha expresado un sentimiento similar. Él le dice a TMZ ... que no tenía problemas con Jonathan durante la producción de su episodio, y añade que nunca vio el estilista hacer nada negativo en el set.

De hecho, William recuerda haber tenido varios buenos recuerdos con la estrella de la telerrealidad.

Al parecer, Jonathan incluso prometió llevar a William a los Emmy si su madre no podía ir.

Michael Richard II, famoso por la séptima temporada, dice que Jonathan "siempre fue brillante y simpático" mientras hacía "Queer Eye". En cuanto a la supuesta tensión entre JVN y sus compañeros de reparto -Karamo Brown, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, y Bobby Berk- Michael dice que no fue testigo de ninguna mala sangre entre los Fab Five.

Nos dice... "Parecía muy querido por todos".

Ryan Dyer -que apareció en un episodio de la temporada 5- solo filmó con Jonathan por un día, pero dice que tuvo una gran experiencia.

Ahora, Ryan dice que recuerda que Jonathan quería "toda la atención", pero no recuerda que fuera un problema con el elenco y el equipo.

Por supuesto, varios empleados anónimos de "Queer Eye" describieron una experiencia muy diferente, ya que le dijeron a Rolling Stone que Jonathan era un compañero de trabajo lleno de ira con poca empatía por los que le rodeaban.

Hometown heroes featured on Netflix's "Queer Eye" are coming to the defense of Jonathan Van Ness, who's been slammed in a recent exposé as a "monster" on the set of the show.

Several participants who collaborated with JVN tell TMZ ... Jonathan was never unprofessional or rude while shooting, at least from what they saw. Cory Waldrop, who appeared in 'QE's first season, wasn't aware of the recent allegations -- but recalls Jonathan being the same on- and off-camera.

Cory says he remembers Jonathan going out of his way to treat him like the star of the show ... letting him cut production's food truck line during taping.

William Mahnken -- who appeared in season 2's second episode -- has expressed a similar sentiment. He tells TMZ ...he had no issues with Jonathan during production for his episode, and adds he never saw the hair stylist do anything negative on set.

In fact, William remembers having several fond memories with the reality TV star.

Apparently, Jonathan even promised to take William to the Emmys if his mother couldn't make it.

Michael Richard II, of season 7 fame, says Jonathan was "always bright and nice" while making "Queer Eye." As for the alleged tension between JVN and his costars -- Karamo Brown, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, and Bobby Berk -- Michael says he didn't witness any bad blood between the Fab Five.

He tells us ... "He seemed well-liked by everybody."

Ryan Dyer -- who appeared in a season 5 episode -- only filmed with Jonathan for one day, but says he had a great experience with the 36-year-old.

Now, Ryan does say he recalls Jonathan wanting "all the attention" ... but he doesn't remember it being an issue with the cast and crew.

Of course, multiple anonymous 'Queer Eye' staffers described a much different experience, as they told Rolling Stone Jonathan was a rage-filled co-worker with little empathy for those around him.

Rick Ross says he had no ill intent when he documented Tyreek Hill's house fire earlier this year ... claiming he was actually a good guy in the situation.

Cheetah unloaded on the rapper this week ... saying it was pretty messed up of him to post footage of the emergency for his 19.4 million followers to see.

Rozay got wind of Hill's gripe ... and he thinks it's all a misunderstanding.

"Tyreek Hill, I wasn't picking on you homie," Ross said on Instagram. "I wasn't picking on you at all."

RR pointed out he did not share any footage of Hill's loved ones at the scene ... and news coverage of the incident was already underway by the time he started recording -- so what's it matter if he makes his own content??

"And, let's not act like I'm the one that premiered the fire to the world," he said. "It was five helicopters circling over your crib and my crib. We stay across the street from each other."

"I didn't post you and your girl outside, I didn't post mom, none of that. But the s*** was everywhere, homie."

On a side note, Rozay also knocked the fire department ... saying he thought they did a bad job at attacking the flames on Jan. 3.

As for his conversation with a fireman that Hill mentioned, RR also had a defense for that ... claiming he was only interacting with the responder to see if he could help Hill's mom take a seat.

Lala Kent acusó a Tom Sandoval de seducir a su ex compañera Rachel Leviss en medio de su romance.

El choque se produjo durante el episodio del martes de "Vanderpump Rules, donde Lala y Sandoval se enfrentaron respecto a como manejaron el hecho de engañar a su novia de mucho tiempo, Ariana Madix. Por no hablar de la participación de Rachel.

Las dos estrellas de telerrealidad se encontraron en una explosiva discusión, Sandoval acusó a Lala de ser menos comunicativa acerca de su propio posible romance con Randall Emmett de lo que él fue en su triángulo amoroso... esto enfureció a Lala.

Ella le devolvió el golpe a Sandoval llamándolo "aterrador" y "loco" por encasillarla después de todos estos años. Después, Lala salió en defensa de Rachel y alegó que Sandoval había manipulado a la ex reina de la belleza.

Al parecer, el comentario de Rachel sobre la necesidad de "alinearse" con Sandoval en la reunión de la temporada 10 dejó a Lala desencadenada, quien dijo: "Tú aíslas. Tú seduces. Mientes".

Ella añadió: "No quiero conocerte. Das miedo". Sandoval, comprensiblemente, rechazó la acusación y acusó a Lala de no conocerlo realmente.

A propósito, "VPR" fue noticia el año pasado después de que se reveló que Sandoval había engañado a Ariana, su novia de nueve años, con su buena amiga Raquel (AKA Raquel).

Mientras que el dueño del bar trató de disculparse por las molestias, fue condenado al silencio por muchos de sus compañeros de reparto por su aparente falta de empatía.

Lala Kent accused Tom Sandoval of "grooming" ex-castmate Rachel Leviss amid their months-long affair ... and she went off on him too in dramatic fashion.

The major clash went down during Tuesday's episode of "Vanderpump Rules" ... where Lala and Sandoval butted heads over his handling of cheating on longtime girlfriend Ariana Madix ... not to mention the involvement of Rachel.

As the two reality stars found themselves in an explosive argument -- Sandoval accused Lala of being less forthcoming about her own possible affair with Randall Emmett than he was with his love triangle ... and that set Lala off.

She hit back at Sandoval by calling him "terrifying" and "insane" for pigeonholing her after all these years. Then, surprisingly, Lala came to Rachel's defense and alleged Sandoval had manipulated the former beauty queen.

Apparently, Rachel's comment about needing to "fall in line" with Sandoval at the season 10 reunion left Lala triggered ... who snapped, "You isolate. You groom. You lie.”

She added ... "I do not want to know you. You are scary." Sandoval -- understandably -- rejected the allegation and accused Lala of not really knowing him. It made for good TV.

ICYMI ... 'VPR' made headlines last year after it was revealed that Sandoval had cheated on Ariana, his girlfriend of nine years, with her good friend, Rachel (AKA Raquel).

While the bar owner attempted to apologize as the Scandoval made waves ... he was ostracized by many of his costars for his apparent lack of empathy.

The drama has only grown off-screen ... Rachel hit Sandoval and Ariana with a lawsuit at the end of February -- alleging a number of things, including revenge porn.

Chrisean Rock has no plans to turn herself in over a warrant out for her arrest in Oklahoma -- saying she's got no time for jail ... as she has a son to raise.

In a new IG Live session with her fans, Chrisean addressed the open bench warrant from the Oklahoma Dept. of Corrections ... which says she's wanted in connection to an incident from 2022 there, including drug and traffic charges.

It's been known for a while that Chrisean has this little situation outstanding there halfway across the country -- remember, she's living in L.A. right now while Blueface is in jail -- and now ... she's addressing it on camera ... saying she's working on getting it resolved.

In terms of why she says she doesn't wanna just surrender and do her time ... well, Chrisean says she's got a baby now -- and she simply doesn't wanna be away from him/behind bars.

Sounds like she's not really sweating it either ... Chrisean says it's worked out for her so far.

BTW ... this isn't the only legal woe of Chrisean's -- remember, she's being sued for allegedly assaulting a dancer for Tamar Braxton here in L.A. ... who claim she battered him backstage.

Jamie Lynn Spears may have realized she'd be pissing off her sister, Britney Spears, by showing off her Christina Aguilera residency drop-in ... so, she made sure not to in a recap.

Brit's famous younger sibling shared a series of sweet memories from her Sin City getaway over the weekend -- where she was enjoying a bachelorette party with a solid group of ladies. Lots of highlights in her IG post ... but interestingly, none capturing Xtina onstage.

Take a look at some of Jamie Lynn's standout snaps from the getaway -- she made sure to point out they hit up a 'Magic Mike Live' show .. and just hitting the town in general.

Yet, Brit's kid sis noticeably didn't post a single pic/vid from Christina's performance at the Voltaire at the Venetian in Vegas. In fact ... Jamie Lynn said her friend -- who is set to get married soon -- and the male stripper show were the only things worth leaving her kids for.

Of course ... there are a lot of complicated dynamics at play here -- which could have a role in Jamie Lynn's social media choices. BS and CA may go all the way back to the Mickey Mouse Club -- but fans have pitted the pop princesses against each other for decades.

It's not just fans though ... Britney and Christina have had rumored beef as well, for realsies. Whether any of that animosity has carried over into the 2020s is anyone's guess -- but it would appear Jamie Lynn was mindful of their history in going through her Vegas vacay.

On its face, you could argue JLS was just trying to keep the peace and not ruffle feathers.

On this episode of The TMZ podcast ...

Danielle Bregoli, AKA Bhad Bhabie, sparked a fight at a West Hollywood restaurant after a heated argument with her baby daddy, Le Vaughn.

Rhianna received criticism online following footage of her $6.3 million performance in India at a pre-wedding party, with many calling the concert "boring" and "lackluster."

Lisa Vanderpump addressed the recent lawsuit from Leah McSweeney as well as Rachel Leviss taking Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix to court.

Miley Cyrus was kept in the dark regarding sister Noah Cyrus' alleged prior relationship with Dominic Purcell -- who went on to marry Cyrus matriarch, Tish Cyrus, just last year.

The "Flowers" singer "had no idea" about the "Prison Break" actor's alleged fling with her sister ... and the wrecking ball it would bring to the family dynamic, according to People.

Since she found out, though, Miley reportedly confronted Tish about the drama ... and told her she finds the whole situation strange -- and we agree, FWIW.

Still, at the end of the day, Miley just wants her mom to be happy, and right now Tish's happiness comes from Dominic. According to the report, Miley has no plans to ice out her mom and stepdad.

ICYMI ... a recent report claimed 56-year-old Tish stole Dominic from her 24-year-old daughter, Noah, who is said to have had an on-and-off relationship with the 54-year-old actor.

While the love triangle timeline remains unclear ... Tish and Dominic have stayed noticeably silent on the matter, and things have been tense in the Cyrus fam for some time.

Noah and brother Braison infamously skipped Tish and Dom's Malibu nuptials in August. Miley's little sister even wore an eyebrow-raising Billy Ray Cyrus t-shirt at the time of the snub -- which kinda screams, "Dad's my favorite."

Miley on the other hand ... she walked Tish down the aisle and planned the whole thing -- but, apparently, without any knowledge of the alleged love triangle.

Miley Cyrus no sabía nada sobre la supuesta relación entre su hermana Noah Cyrus con Dominic Purcell, quien se casó con la matriarca de los Cyrus -Tish Cyrus- el año pasado.

La cantante de "Flowers" no tenía idea de la supuesta aventura del actor de "Prison Break" con su hermana. Esto va a generar chispas en la dinámica familiar, según People.

Desde que Miley se enteró, al parecer se enfrentó a Tish, y le dijo que encuentra toda la situación extraña... Francamente estamos de acuerdo.

Sin embargo, al final del día, Miley solo quiere que su madre sea feliz, y en este momento la felicidad de Tish viene de Dominic. Según el informe, Miley no tiene planes de alejarse de su mamá.

Por si no lo sabías, un informe reciente afirmó que la mujer de 56 años de edad -Tish- le quitó a Dominic a su hija de 24 años de edad- Noah-, quien ha tenido una relación intermitente con el actor de 54 años de edad.

Mientras que la línea de tiempo de este triángulo amoroso sigue siendo poco clara, Tish y Dominic se han mantenido notablemente en silencio sobre el asunto y las cosas han estado tensas en la familia Cyrus últimamente.

Noah y su hermano Braison faltaron a la boda de Tish y Dom en Malibú en agosto. La hermana pequeña de Miley incluso llevaba una llamativa camiseta de Billy Ray Cyrus en el momento del desaire, como gritando: "Papá es mi favorito".

1:18 PM PT -- A rep for Bhad Bhabie tells TMZ ... "Danielle was just trying to have a relaxing dinner with her friends as she is very pregnant. The issue was that these drunk women were filming Danielle and her party and then started yelling stuff at them."

Danielle's rep adds ... "Danielle was arguing with her table because her boyfriend was trying to be protective and stop these people from harassing them and filming them. Danielle wanted her friends to just let it go but the restaurant didn't get involved and it escalated."

Danielle Bregoli isn't gonna let a little thing like pregnancy tame her Bhad Bhabie ways -- her entourage squared off with another table during a night on the town ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ obtained this video showing the end of the Saturday night scrap ... 2 women come face-to-face screaming at each other, hurling F-bombs with fists up, before one of them is held back and hauled out of Toca Madera, a West Hollywood restaurant.

As heated as things got, there's no visual evidence Danielle ever got involved in the worst of the fight -- but folks in the restaurant tell us what sparked the whole incident.

Multiple witnesses say the rapper was arguing with her boyfriend/baby daddy Le Vaughn while they were eating dinner and allegedly slapped him. While they were arguing, we're told someone at Danielle's table noticed someone at an adjacent table recording BB and Le's dispute -- and that's why the fight, seen in the video, broke out.

At the end of the video, you can see Bhad Bhabie -- who has a short pixie haircut now -- getting up from her table, ironically, very calmly and heading for the exit with her man ... following after their friends who'd been pulled away from the fight.

Danielle announced back in December that she and Le Vaughn were expecting. Seeing how she opted out of an all-out brawl last night ... you'd have to say pending motherhood has mellowed her.

1:18 PM PT -- Un representante de Bhad Bhabie le dice a TMZ: "Danielle solo estaba tratando de tener una cena relajante con sus amigos, recuerden que está embarazada. El problema fue que estas mujeres borrachas estaban filmando a Danielle y luego empezaron a gritarle cosas".

El representante de Danielle añade: "Danielle estaba discutiendo con su mesa porque su novio estaba tratando de ser protector y detener a estas personas de acosarlos y filmarlos. Danielle quería que sus amigos lo dejaran así, pero el restaurante no se involucró y la cosa pasó a mayores".

Danielle Bregoli no va a dejar que una pequeña cosa como el embarazo apacigüe su actitud de Bhad Bhabie. Ella y su séquito se enfrentaron con otra mesa durante una noche en la ciudad, TMZ ha indagado.

TMZ obtuvo este video que muestra la pelea de la noche del sábado, donde dos mujeres se enfrentaron cara a cara a gritos y luego se lanzaron puñetazos antes de que la cosa terminara afuera del restaurante "Toca Madera", en West Hollywood.

Tan caliente como las cosas se pusieron, no hay pruebas visuales que demuestren que Danielle nunca se involucró en la pelea, pero la gente del restaurante nos dice que pudo haber provocado todo el incidente.

Múltiples testigos dicen que la rapera estaba discutiendo con su novio -Le Vaughn- mientras cenaban y supuestamente le dio una bofetada. Mientras discutían, nos dicen que alguien en la mesa de Danielle se dio cuenta de que estaban grabando la disputa desde otra mesa, y por eso estalló la pelea que se puede ver en el video.

Al final del video se puede ver Bhad Bhabie -que tiene un corte de pelo corto ahora- levantarse de su mesa, irónicamente muy tranquila y en dirección a la salida con su hombre, siguiendo después de sus amigos que habían sido retirados de la pelea.

Danielle anunció en diciembre que ella y Le Vaughn estaban esperando un bebé. Viendo como ella optó por no participar en una pelea anoche, hay que decir que la maternidad pendiente la ha suavizado.

Pro wrestling legend Sting is hanging up his boots after Sunday's big match at AEW Revolution ... a moment so special, tag team partner Darby Allin says it's actually the highlight of his young, but impressive, career -- and he's not even the dude retiring!

"Oh, without a doubt. Without a doubt, it's the biggest [match of my career]," Allen told us, adding, "He's been around longer than I've been alive. Like on top of the wrestling. It's really cool to be a part of it and definitely my biggest match and I'm not taking anything for granted. I'm so grateful for this opportunity, and I'll stop at nothing to prove my loyalty."

Of course, Sting is one of the most legendary wrestlers of all time. Period. WCW, TNA, WWE, and now AEW ... Sting was the man in all the top promotions. He's a WWE and TNA Hall of Famer. He's also won just about every title under the sun.

Wrestling fans have been anticipating the match ... Sting and Darby are fighting The Young Bucks, Matthew and Nicholas Jackson Sunday night in Greensboro, NC.

"I try not to make it about myself at all. I just want to make sure this man's career ends with the respect it deserves, and it's cool to be a part of the end," Darby said of the meaningfulness of the moment.

"I feel like the biggest part of a wrestler's career is the end. If you s*** the bed in the end, people are always gonna remember that. 'Aw, he should've hung up his boots years ago.' But I convinced Sting to come back and wrestle, so I feel it's my duty to make sure that he doesn't embarrass himself."

La leyenda de la lucha libre profesional Sting cuelga las botas después del gran combate del domingo en AEW Revolution, un momento tan especial, que su compañero de tag team Darby Allin dice que es en realidad el punto culminante de su joven, pero impresionante carrera, ¡y ni siquiera es quien se retira!

"Oh, sin duda. Sin duda, es el [combate] más importante de mi carrera", nos dijo Allen y añadió: "Lleva más tiempo aquí que yo vivo. Como en la cima de la lucha libre. Es realmente increíble ser parte de esto, sin duda es mi combate más importante y no doy nada por sentado. Estoy muy agradecido por esta oportunidad y no me detendré ante nada para demostrar mi lealtad".

Por supuesto, Sting es uno de los luchadores más legendarios de todos los tiempos. Y punto. WCW, TNA, WWE y ahora AEW, Sting fue "el hombre" en todas las principales promociones. Está en el Salón de la Fama de la WWE y TNA. También ha ganado casi todos los títulos que existen.

Los fans de la lucha libre han estado anticipando el partido: Sting y Darby, compañeros de tag team estarán luchando contra The Young Bucks, Matthew y Nicholas Jackson el domingo por la noche en Greensboro.

"Trato de no hacer que se trate de mí en absoluto. Solo quiero asegurarme de que la carrera de este hombre termine con el respeto que se merece y es genial ser parte del final", dijo Darby sobre el significado de este momento.

"Creo que la parte más importante de la carrera de un luchador es el final. Si te cagas en la cama al final, la gente siempre lo recordará. 'Debería haber colgado las botas hace años'. Pero yo convencí a Sting para que volviera y luchara, así que siento que es mi deber asegurarme de que no se avergüence de sí mismo."

Nicki Minaj fans are clearly passionate ... both about her music and standing their ground, it seems -- 'cause a group of her supporters got into a fight during her tour's opening performance!

The Barbz brawl went down Friday night in Oakland ... the first night of her much-anticipated "Pink Friday 2 World Tour" -- and it definitely started the whole concert run off with a bang.

Just check out the clip ... a couple fans dressed in black are exchanging punches in one section -- with someone in an all-pink ensemble and dyed pink hair hopping into the scuffle.

The person in pink getting shoved back seems to set one of the angry fans off even more ... and they jump forward to start raining blows down on the other combatants.

Unfortunately for them, their opponents quickly put 'em in a headlock and start hitting them over and over while being held back against the seats.

Eventually, some security guards come over and break up the fight, but members of the crowd can be heard seemingly questioning the person in pink's gender -- overall, a pretty ugly scene.

The whole thing marred what was otherwise a very impressive show ... with Nicki breaking out all her classic hits including "Starships" which she said a few months ago she was done performing.
