Hollywood Exes

Joy Bounds is terrified R&B singer Lyfe Jennings wants to hurt her and take their boys.

According to docs obtained by TMZ ... Lyfe's ex and mother of their two sons claims he's tried brainwashing their boys against her and threatened her with violence.

Lyfe was arrested in 2008 and reportedly sentenced to prison for 3 years for kicking down the door of Joy's residence, firing shots, and leading police on a high-speed chase.

Joy says Lyfe's still very scary, claiming he made veiled threats like "I'm gunna remember this" and telling her she was "not that hard to find."

She says he's continued a campaign of brainwashing the kids, recently taking them to a park and feeding them lies about her.

Lyfe tells us he never threatened Joy or the kids in any way. He claims she's throwing a tantrum because he cussed her out about being a bad mother. He also says he's a good dad ... and everyone knows that.

NFL superstar Terrell Suggs says his children are his world and he would NEVER neglect them or treat them poorly -- despite scathing allegations from his estranged wife.

TMZ Sports spoke with Terrell's rep, Denise White ... who says the claims made by Candace Suggs in a social media video are flat out untrue.

FYI, Candace -- who's in the middle of a nasty divorce with Terrell -- claimed the Baltimore Ravens star is refusing to pay for clothes for their 2 young kids and forces them to go to school without lunch money.

White tells TMZ Sports ... "Terrell takes magnificent care of his children. He is a caring and present father."

"We normally would not respond to such a rant by an ex clearly scorned."

"Terrell is disappointed that his ex would take to social media to try and paint a picture of him as a father who somehow does not take care of his children."

Josh Murray and Amanda Stanton had a happy ending on the finale of "Bachelor in Paradise" ... but there's trouble on the horizon with her ex-husband.

Nick Buonfiglio filed docs -- obtained by TMZ -- saying he deserves more time with their 2 daughters. He says Amanda's been dumping their 2 and 4-year-old in full-time daycare lately while she's off working on multiple TV shows.

He adds ... all the media attention is bad for their girls, but great for Amanda's bottom line. Nick claims her income has skyrocketed since 'BiP' -- from $100/year to around $20k a month. Unclear how she would have lived on $100 a year, but now Nick wants her to pay more child support.

Amanda has agreed to try settling their differences in mediation.

Nick Young is not only over Iggy Azalea, he hopes she ties the knot with her new BF, French Montana ... then again he could be dripping in sarcasm.

Madonna has settled her bitter custody fight over Rocco with ex-hubby Guy Ritchie ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, the exes were due in court Wednesday but hours before informed the judge they had resolved their differences.

As we reported, Madonna and Guy were at each other's throats over where Rocco would live. The 16-year-old bailed on Madonna's tour last December and began living with Guy in London. Madonna claimed Guy has poisoned her son against her.

The singer and Guy haven't gotten along for years, and fought constantly over child-rearing issues. She was the disciplinarian and she felt Guy was way too permissive.

It seemed they worked things out months ago. Madonna spent time with Rocco in London and he lived with her during part of the summer. He even partied with mom in Cuba a few weeks back for her birthday.

As for the terms of the settlement ... Guy's attorney told AP, Rocco will go back to London for school. Madonna will, no doubt continue to see her son frequently.

Jeremy Renner has settled yet another squabble with his ex-wife ... this time over child support.

Jeremy and Sonni Pacheco have been at war since she filed for divorce in December 2014 after being married for only 10 months.

The latest beef -- Sonni claimed Jeremy was behind in support payments for 3-year-old Ava. They agreed Jeremy would pay around $16k for support and another $24k for her lawyer and accountant.

She's made numerous allegations against Jeremy, claiming he was an unsafe dad because he had guns in the house, despite the fact that he had the guns while they were married and she had no problem with them.

She also griped that Jeremy was posting pics of the kid on social media.

Eddie Cibrian is washing his hands clean of ex Brandi Glanville by getting rid of their L.A. starter home.

Eddie got $635k for the 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath townhouse in Toluca Lake, CA. He'd originally listed it for $100k more than that back in February -- but we're guessing LeAnn Rimes is just thrilled to unload the tie to his ex.

Eddie and Brandi shared the pad in happier times ... aka before the bitter divorce.

Master P's got his kids doing the dirty work for him in his divorce case -- penning emotional letters to convince a judge to reduce his monthly support payments to his ex, Sonya Miller.

In new docs, Master P says his 3 minor kids stay with him full time because their mother's drug addiction makes it impossible for her to care for them. That's why he wants to slash the $10,473 in child support and $16,574 in spousal support that he's currently paying.

The kids -- Hercy, Mercy and Itali -- all wrote letters, submitted to the court, testifying they're better off for living with their dad.

17-year-old daughter Itali made the most compelling case ... writing, "Although I love being with my mom I was unable to keep my grades up. Unfortunately, my mom was dealing with addiction issues that affected my older sister, who hasn't even had the opportunity to graduate high school" ... even though she's 19.

Itali says she's trying to avoid the same fate.

Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson are either doing the conscious uncoupling thing or they're on the road to rekindling their relationship.

The exes looked deep in convo Monday leaving a liquor store in West Hollywood. They were together for a decade before calling things off last month.

Joshua's brown bagging it, so if you're a glass half full person ... they're about to pop the cork and chat over a bottle. Half empty folks will say he's drinking alone, and Diane's just keeping things friendly.

Keshia Knight Pulliam says her estranged husband, Ed Hartwell, is so abusive, so violent, so diabolical ... he has plotted to kill their unborn child.

Keshia claims in divorce docs Ed "has been plotting to harm and obstruct [her] pregnancy" by engaging in "certain underhanded and unusual conduct" that would trigger a miscarriage.

Keshia, who is 5 months along, is not specific as to Ed's conduct, but she says he's engaged in "cruel treatment" which has adversely affected her pregnancy.

Keshia says in legal docs ... during their short marriage, Ed was constantly cursing, yelling and demeaning her. She says he also had affairs with multiple women, including a former baby mama.

And Keshia says she and Ed have multiple firearms ... she feels unsafe and wants an order forcing him to turn all the guns over to her. She's also asking the judge to order him to stay clear of her.

She wants the judge to order a mental evaluation.

Stevie J says Joseline Hernandez's life is all a lie -- right down to her age -- but the fibs weren't enough to convince a judge to issue a restraining order against her.

Stevie came out firing with juicy details about his "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" ex ... hoping they'd persuade a judge to extend a restraining order he got last month.

In his docs Stevie points out Joseline's real name is Shenellica Juneann Bettencourt ... she's 39 years old (not 29) ... isn't even from Puerto Rico ... might STILL be married to someone else ... and the baby in her belly probably isn't his.

The "newly discovered facts" fell flat ... because none of it had anything to do with the price of beans, or in this case granting a restraining order.

Mel Gibson's baby mama, Oksana Grigorieva, just got word from a California appeals court ... she made one of the worst business decisions in the history of business ... because they just ruled she's only entitled to 1/60 of what she could have gotten from him had she just shut her trap.

The California Court of Appeals just dropped the hammer, saying Oksana screwed herself when she went on Howard Stern in 2013 and claimed domestic abuse at the hands of Gibson. The actor was on the hook for $750,000 -- a settlement he had struck with her -- but had only shelled out $250,000.

The agreement said she would forfeit the balance if she blabbed about her allegations, and the court said that's exactly what she did when she went on Stern. So, Mel does not have to pay the $500k balance.

Mind you ... Mel had agreed to pay Oksana $15 million if she kept those horrible audiotapes secret, but she changed her mind thinking she could get even more and disavowed the deal. Instead of $15 mil, she eventually struck a deal for $750k ... and that has now been whittled down to $250k.

Maybe she's just bad at math.

Interesting situation in Chicago ... with Kyrie Irving hugging it out with his ex-girlfriend, Kehlani ... the first time they've been seen together in months.

It all went down Friday night -- the two met up where Kehlani was staying and spent some quality time together. They were smiling, hugging and acting friendly.

Kyrie and Kehlani broke up back in March -- and she rebounded with her singer ex-boyfriend, PartyNextDoor.

Pissed off fans accused Kehlani of cheating on Kyrie (which she denied) -- but she was so distraught, she tried to kill herself. At the time, Kyrie defended Kehlani.

But the situation in Chicago is not a complete romantic reconciliation -- a rep for Kehlani tells TMZ Sports, "They are only friends, not back together."

"Things ended bad and they hadn't had an opportunity to see each other ... and they wanted to meet up face to face and make peace."

Chris Brown and his ex, Karrueche Tran, both showed up at Kylie Jenner's birthday party, and judging by the look on Karrueche's face ... it will be a looong time before it happens again.

We got video of Chris showing up with Scott Disick and cruising into the party. Everyone seemed happy.

The exit shot ... not so much. Karrueche walked out with girlfriends and when we asked how it was hanging out with Chris -- well ... you really just have to see her facial expression. Kinda says it all.

Karrueche dumped Chris more than a year ago after finding out he'd knocked up Nia Guzman.

Tennis great Chris Evert says menopause is at least partly to blame for the demise of her marriage to Olympian Andy Mill ... insinuating the hormonal change had a major impact on the relationship.

61-year-old Evert opened up about the situation on Lance Armstrong's "The Forward Podcast" -- when the two were talking about the positive relationships they have with their exes ... including Mill.

FYI, Evert and Mill had 3 kids together before they divorced in 2006. Two years later, she married Andy's friend, Greg Norman (the golfer). They broke up 15 months after that.

"[Andy and I] had a rough couple of years," Evert said ... "because I married Greg Norman who was Andy’s friend, and that was … I don’t know, I was going through menopausal stuff."

Evert didn't expand on exactly how menopause affected the relationship -- but said the condition ("what women go through at 50ish") doesn't get talked about enough.

According to the WebMD, menopause can cause major psychological symptoms in women -- including anxiety, irritability, mood changes, feelings of sadness and aggressiveness.

Jeremy Renner's a deadbeat dad who refuses to pay for preschool and catch up on child support ... or so claims his ex-wife.

Sonni Pacheco says Jeremy time and again refuses to pay his half of the $1,600 monthly preschool tuition for their 3-year-old daughter, Ava. In new docs, obtained by TMZ, Sonni also says Renner's fallen behind on child support to the tune of $48,367.

As we reported ... Jeremy and Sonni struck a deal last year for Jeremy to pay $13k a month in child support as part of their divorce settlement -- and he seems to think that should be more than enough dough.

Sonni's docs include a text exchange where Jeremy says, "I'm not sure why you keep coming after more money here Sonni. I don't have the cash to give you. I'm sorry you can't figure out how to care for [Ava] with over 300k."
