They're Suing Me!

Kanye West's beef with Adidas is far from finished, despite the fact he recently posted a shot with its CEO Bjorn Gulden -- making it seem like the cold war had thawed, but now he's accusing the company of creative "rape."

On Monday, instead of celebrating his "Vultures 1" album staying at No. 1 for the 2nd straight week, Ye called out Adidas for selling colors of his popular Yeezy sneakers that he never approved, and claiming it was using contract clauses to "rape an artist, one of y'all's favorite artists" -- clearly referring to himself.

Adidas is aggressively promoting the Yeezy Boosts in a new "steel grey" shade which Ye says is as fake as a $3 dollar bill.

Ye says Adidas is using legal loopholes and muddled language to pull a fast one without his consent, in addition to suing him for $250 million.

And Ye is calling for his true fans to turn their back on the brand.

On February 12, Ye and Gulden posted up together, where all signs pointed to a reconciliation ... which clearly isn't the case anymore.

Alexis Bellino 'RHOC' Wanted Her Back Before She Started Dating Shannon's Ex

Alexis Bellino dating Shannon Beador's former flame makes for some juicy 'RHOC' storylines ... but it's not the main reason she's coming back to the reality TV show.

Sources connected to the show tell TMZ … Alexis was already in talks with 'RHOC' producers to return to the show before she started dating Shannon's ex, John Janssen.

While Alexis' return and her new relationship with John seem intertwined, we're told it's just coincidental ... because by the time they started dating in Dec. 2023, Alexis was pretty deep in negotiations to come back.

TMZ broke the story ... Alexis is returning for the upcoming season as a friend of the show, more than a decade after walking away from 'RHOC' in 2013 as a fan fave.

Our sources say Heather Dubrow is a big reason Alexis is coming back.

Alexis and Heather infamously had a nasty falling out on 'RHOC' back in the day, but we're told in the last couple years they've rekindled their friendship.

Sources say Heather's been in the ear of show producers for years, suggesting they consider bringing Alexis back into the fold ... with Heather even pushing for Alexis' return as recently as last season.

Shaunie O'Neal On Me'Arah O'Neal College > WNBA Get That NIL Money, Baby!

THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT

Shaunie O'Neal wants her hoops star daughter, Me'Arah, to stay in school as looooong as possible ... telling TMZ Sports the NIL cash is way better than a WNBA salary!

Depending on the athlete, there's a ton of money to be made at the collegiate level thanks to the "Name, Image and Likeness" rules ... with a reported $917 million in deals being made in the first year alone.

With Shaq and Shaunie's 17-year-old daughter, one of the best high school players in the country, heading to the University of Florida next year, her mom tells us the money's SO good she (and other young women) should wait as long as possible before going pro.

"For the women, for sure, hold on to your college career and NIL money," O'Neal told us at LAX.

"The more I look into it, the more I see these WNBA players are doing multiple things just to make that kinda money."

O'Neal added ... "I think those college students who are able to get these NIL deals, ride it until the wheels fall off!"

Shaunie makes a valid point. The highest base salary for a WNBA player is $241k ... while LSU star Angel Reese reportedly makes around $1.7 million with all her NIL deals.

Shaunie wants Reese's numbers for her daughter ... even though the ultimate goal for the McDonald's All-American is to play in the WNBA.

"If she can hold on to that NIL money and be in college and get a great education along with playing the sport she loves, then why not?!" the TV producer/personality told us.

Whenever she finally is ready for the next level, don't be surprised to see Me'Arah starring in the Association ... she's the best athlete out of Shaq's kids, according to her brother, Shareef O'Neal.

But, first things first ... let that NIL money rolllllllllll in!

Tom Sandoval Ariana Owes Me $90k Wants Cash Before Sale of House

Tom Sandoval is fighting Ariana Madix as she tries to force a sale of their home ... claiming he loaned her a big chunk of change that he wants back before selling the crib they shared.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Tom alleges he loaned Ariana $90,000 and that she hasn't paid him back.

More importantly, Tom wants Ariana to fork over the dough before a judge potentially orders them to sell the house and split the proceeds.

In his response to Ariana's lawsuit, he also says he has a lien on the house that's directly tied to this alleged loan to her -- and he says no sale can go down until this is dealt with.

As we first told you ... Ariana is suing Tom over the Los Angeles house they co-own. They lived there when they were a couple, but Ariana wants to sell it and split the money now that they've broken up as a result of his cheating scandal.

Tom's so far resisted ... and now it looks like he's digging his heels in even further and claiming she needs to settle up with him over this loan before selling the house. As for the other allegations Ariana made in her original suit ... he issues general denials against them.

Remember ... Tom and Ariana bought the place back in 2019 for around $2 million, and like most real estate in Los Angeles it could probably sell for more now.

Tom's also recently said he's offered to buy out Ariana, making a $3.1 million cash offer to keep the place for himself.

Tyler Perry Se inclina por usar IA en sus películas ... Detiene la expansión de sus estudios

Tyler Perry dice que está por utilizar la inteligencia artificial en sus próximos proyectos porque dice que le permitirá ahorrar dinero y recursos, y por eso está deteniendo temporalmente la expansión de sus estudios.

El magnate de los medios de comunicación, que tiene su propio estudio de producción en Georgia, le dijo a THR esta semana que ha estado siguiendo de cerca la IA y está impresionado de lo que ve, tanto es así que está influyendo en algunos planes que tenía para el enorme lote de 330 acres que posee.

Le preguntaron sobre el programa de OpenAI Sora, que puede crear escenas muy realistas y visuales solo con un comando de texto, y Perry dice que va a revolucionar la forma de hacer películas.

Tyler dice: "He estado observando muy de cerca la IA y sus avances. Durante los últimos cuatro años he estado planeando una ampliación de 800 millones de dólares en el estudio, lo que habría aumentado enormemente el backlot: íbamos a añadir 12 platós más. Todo eso está actualmente e indefinidamente en suspenso debido a Sora y a lo que estoy viendo".

Y añade: "Ya no tendría que viajar a las localizaciones. Si quisiera estar en la nieve en Colorado, solo tendría que escribir. Si quisiera escribir una escena en la luna, solo tendría que escribir, y esta IA podría generarlo como si nada. Si quisiera tener a dos personas en una sala en las montañas, no tendría que construir un plató en las montañas, no tendría que poner un plató. Podría sentarme en una oficina y hacer esto con un computador, lo que me parece chocante".

Tyler fue aún más sincero sobre el impacto que cree tendrá la tecnología en la industria diciendo: "Me preocupa mucho toda la gente del negocio. Porque mientras lo miraba, inmediatamente empecé a pensar que todos en la industria se verían afectados por esto, incluyendo actores y camarógrafos y eléctricos y transporte y sonido y editores, y viendo esto, creo que tocará todos los rincones de nuestra industria".

Y añade: "Así que estoy muy, muy preocupado de que, en un futuro próximo, muchos puestos de trabajo se vayan a perder".

En resumen, Tyler ve el futuro y lo está abrazando, pero sus palabras no han sido bien recibidas. Echa un vistazo en X y verás que la gente lo está criticando por abandonar a los creativos y estar dispuesto abiertamente a recortar puestos de trabajo para ahorrar dinero.

Si eso es justo o no, que Internet decida, suponemos ... Pero la verdad es que Tyler ve lo grande que es la IA, y seguirá siendo, y está listo para ponerla en práctica a su favor.

Tyler Perry Leaning Into AI Tech for Movies ... Halting Studio Expansion

Tyler Perry says he's down to use artificial intelligence in his projects going forward, 'cause it'll save him money and resources ... which is why he's temporarily halting his studio expansion.

The media mogul -- who has his own production studio in Georgia -- told THR this week that he's been keeping a close eye on AI ... and he's impressed by what he sees, so much so that it's actually influencing some big plans he had for the massive 330-acre lot.

He was asked about OpenAI's Sora program -- which can create very lifelike scenes and visuals with nothing but a text command -- and TP says it's gonna revolutionize filmmaking.

Tyler says, "I have been watching AI very closely and watching the advancements very closely. I was in the middle of, and have been planning for the last four years, about an $800 million expansion at the studio, which would’ve increased the backlot a tremendous size -- we were adding 12 more soundstages. All of that is currently and indefinitely on hold because of Sora and what I’m seeing."

He adds, "I no longer would have to travel to locations. If I wanted to be in the snow in Colorado, it’s text. If I wanted to write a scene on the moon, it’s text, and this AI can generate it like nothing. If I wanted to have two people in the living room in the mountains, I don’t have to build a set in the mountains, I don’t have to put a set on my lot. I can sit in an office and do this with a computer, which is shocking to me."

Tyler was even more candid on what impact he thinks it will have on the industry ... saying, "It makes me worry so much about all of the people in the business. Because as I was looking at it, I immediately started thinking of everyone in the industry who would be affected by this, including actors and grip and electric and transportation and sound and editors, and looking at this, I’m thinking this will touch every corner of our industry."

He adds, "So I am very, very concerned that in the near future, a lot of jobs are going to be lost."

Bottom line ... Tyler sees the future, and he's embracing it -- but his words here have not been well-received. Take a look on X and you'll see ... people are dragging him for what they characterize as abandoning creatives and openly being willing to slash jobs to save a buck.

Whether that's fair or not is for the Internet to decide, we suppose ... but the fact is, Tyler sees how big a deal AI is and will continue to be -- and he's ready to implement it to his benefit.

ACTRESS COCOA BROWN Tyler Perry Offers $400K For New Pad ... After House Burns Down

Cocoa Brown is the latest person to be overwhelmed by Tyler Perry's generosity -- 'cause he just offered her nearly half a million dollars for a new home after hers burned down.

The actress tells TMZ she's filled with profound gratitude over TP's support and that of everyone else who's donated to her GFM campaign. She has a lot to be grateful for ... 'cause Tyler chipped in a whopping $400k toward her cause.

Cocoa adds that she's been on an emotional roller coaster -- noting the devastation of watching her home go up in flames Sunday while feeling and trying to make sure her young son Phoenix was safe and sound.

But the comedian -- known for "For Better or Worse," alongside a slate of other movies and TV shows -- reiterates she and her son have been deeply moved by the outpouring of support they've received.

It's not just Tyler who's helped, BTW -- she's gotten other donations from Tiffany Haddish, Marlon Wayans, Byron Allen, Sherri Shepherd, "The Breakfast Club" podcast team, and numerous other friends, family and fans. All of them have given fairly generous amounts.

Cocoa has made sure to send a special shout-out to Pastor Mark and the entire congregation of McDonough Rd Baptist Church, who she says have gone above and beyond for her.

Despite the devastation of losing her home, Cocoa tells us "having each other, our fur babies, and seeing and feeling all this love has strengthened our love for each other and humanity."

The support is evident on Cocoa's GoFundMe page kickstarted by her loved ones, which has surpassed the $50,000 goal and then some. She's now on her way to $70,000 in donations.

Brandi Glanville Threatens to Sue Bravo ... Andy Cohen Responds to Facetime Claim

update

Andy Cohen just responded to Brandi's claim about the video she says he sent her -- and he now says she's blowing it out of proportion.

He writes, "The video shows Kate Chastain and I very clearly joking to Brandi. It was absolutely meant in jest, and Brandi’s response clearly communicated she was in on the joke.  That said, it was totally inappropriate and I apologize."

Brandi Glanville is putting Bravo's parent company and others on notice that she's prepared to take them to court over this whole 'Girls Trip' drama she's been roped into ... and lays out her grievances in no uncertain terms in a letter that her attorneys just fired off.

The 'Real Housewives' star has lawyered up with the likes of Mark Geragos and Bryan Freedman -- big shot lawyers in Hollywood -- and they sent NBCUniversal a demand letter Thursday that threatens a lawsuit on behalf of their client ... and they're telling the network to preserve all potential evidence as Brandi prepares for what could be a messy legal battle.

The letter, obtained by TMZ, spells out exactly why Brandi is considering suing here -- and according to her legal team ... she feels like she's been chewed up and spit out by Bravo and all other parties involved in producing and airing a show that makes them millions.

They're strong, writing ... "Over the past year, Ms. Glanville has been subjected to a vicious media campaign based on false allegations of sexual misconduct. The false narrative, which NBC and Shed Media have apparently decided to foment, arises from Ms. Glanville’s experience on 'Ultimate Girls Trip: Morocco.'"

Her attorneys add ... "While the experience has been a nightmare for Ms. Glanville, it is far from the first time Ms. Glanville has been used and abused by NBC, Bravo, Warner Bros., and Shed Media. Indeed, Ms. Glanville has long been taken advantage of by the institutions with which she is indelibly tied personally, professionally, financially, and in the public mind."

Brandi's lawyers claim that while she's been loyal to NBCU over the years ... she's only received mistreatment in return -- including this latest saga with fellow 'Housewife' Caroline Manzo, who recently sued Bravo claiming she was the victim of sexual misconduct from Brandi during the filming of 'Girls Trip: Morocco,' but BG defends herself here.

Long story short ... Brandi's attorneys say that Caroline's narrative of being forcibly kissed and groped by Brandi during the filming of that show was actually consensual -- with Brandi's team claiming Caroline was inviting that sort of behavior, which she also alleges was facilitated and even encouraged by producers during the filming.

SERIOUS ACCUDATIONS

There's another salacious allegation that Brandi's attorneys float in this letter they sent -- evidence for which is not attached in their correspondence -- that invokes the name of Andy Cohen.

Brandi's team claims that in 2022, Andy subjected Brandi to sexual harassment by sending her a video -- one in which she claims he boasted of his intent to sleep with another Bravo star that night ... and allegedly inviting her to watch it all via Facetime.

Her attorneys characterize her role in all this one of a "sacrificial lamb," and they say Brandi isn't going to take it anymore ... so she's telling Bravo and co. to get ready to go to battle.

BRANDI GLANVILLE ¡HE SIDO USADA Y ABUSADA POR ESTA CADENA! Amenaza con demandar a Bravo ...

Brandi Glanville está poniendo a la empresa matriz de Bravo y a otros sobre aviso de que está dispuesta a llevarlos a los tribunales por todo este drama de "Girls Trip" en el que se ha visto envuelta, y expone sus quejas en una carta que sus abogados acaban de enviar.

La estrella de "Real Housewives" se ha puesto en manos de abogados de la talla de Mark Geragos y Bryan Freedman -grandes abogados de Hollywood- y le enviaron a NBCUniversal una carta de demanda el jueves que amenaza con una demanda en nombre de su cliente, y le están diciendo a la red que conserve todas las pruebas potenciales mientras Brandi se prepara para lo que podría ser una batalla legal muy intensa.

La carta -obtenida por TMZ- explica exactamente por qué Brandi está considerando demandar, y de acuerdo con su equipo legal, es como si hubiera sido utilizada y desechada por Bravo y todas las demás partes involucradas en la producción y emisión de un programa que les hace ganar millones.

Escribie: "Durante el último año, la Sra. Glanville ha sido objeto de una malvada campaña mediática basada en falsas acusaciones de mala conducta sexual. La falsa narrativa, que NBC y Shed Media aparentemente han decidido fomentar, surge de la experiencia de la Sra. Glanville en "Ultimate Girls Trip: Marruecos".

Sus abogados añaden: "Si bien la experiencia ha sido una pesadilla para la Sra. Glanville, está lejos de ser la primera vez que la Sra. Glanville ha sido utilizada y abusada por NBC, Bravo, Warner Bros. y Shed Media. De hecho, la Sra. Glanville ha sido abusada durante mucho tiempo por las instituciones con las que está indeleblemente ligada personalmente, profesionalmente, financieramente y en la mente del público".

Los abogados de Brandi afirman que mientras ella ha sido leal a NBCU a lo largo de los años, solo ha recibido malos tratos a cambio, incluyendo este último drama con su compañera de "Housewife" Caroline Manzo, quien recientemente demandó a Bravo alegando que fue víctima de mala conducta sexual por parte de Brandi durante el rodaje de "Girls Trip: Marruecos", pero Brandi se defiende.

Los abogados de Brandi dicen que la narrativa de Caroline de ser besada a la fuerza y manoseada por Brandi durante el rodaje de ese programa fue en realidad consentida, con el equipo de Brandi alegando que Caroline estaba invitando a ese tipo de comportamiento, que también alega fue facilitado e incluso alentado por los productores durante el rodaje.

Sus abogados caracterizan su papel en todo esto como un "cordero de sacrificio", y dicen que Brandi no va a soportarlo más, por lo que le dice a Bravo y compañía que se preparen para la batalla.

Elton John Curated Collection Goes to Auction ... Collectibles Go For Millions!

Elton John's swapping out that yellow brick road for another made of 24-karat gold ... 'cause a collection he curated for Christie's sold at auction -- and they fetched a bundle.

The legendary singer-songwriter partnered with the popular auction company to sell a ton of iconic items, and Elton made out like a bandit on the auction's first night -- with all 49 lots selling for a total of around $8 million.

Among the items sold ... Elton's silver leather platform boots circa 1971 for $94,500, prescription sunglasses for $22,680 and even his beloved 1990 Bentley Continental which brought home $441,000.

A series of luxury wristwatches sold for prices in the six figures ... and Elton even parted with "Flower Thrower Triptych" -- a painting by enigmatic artist Banksy -- to the tune of just over $1.9 million. The auction house says Elton got the Banksy piece "directly from the artist" ... which presumably means EJ has met the elusive man (or woman) himself.

BTW, Wednesday was only the first night of The Collection of Sir Elton John: Goodbye Peachtree Road sale ... more items are set to be sold off in person Thursday and Friday.

Also ... deep-pocketed purchasers who'd rather buy from the comfort of their own home will have about a week to pick up more one-of-a-kind collectibles.

Adrian Peterson My Stuff's Being Sold Without My Consent ... I'm Not Broke!!!

TAKING ACTION
Instagram / @adrianpeterson

Ex-NFL star Adrian Peterson claims his most prized possessions are being sold without his consent ... and now, he's planning to sue over the matter.

Numerous items belonging to the All-Pro running back -- including his 2012 Most Valuable Player and 2007 Rookie of the Year trophies -- hit the auction block this week ... which led many to wonder if Peterson had fallen on hard times and was looking to make a quick buck after earning more than $100 million on the field throughout his career.

The former first-round pick cleared the air on Wednesday ... saying he was just as shocked as everyone else when news of the auction made rounds on social media.

"I want to clarify recent rumors and media reports," Peterson said in a video. "An estate sale company without my authorization included some of my trophies in a sale, despite clear instructions to leave personal items untouched."

Peterson's rep, Denise White, further explained to TMZ Sports he had a storage unit full of old stuff ... so he hired the Texmax Auctions company to get rid of whatever he didn't want anymore -- but he had no intent to include anything of personal value.

Worth noting -- Peterson made his way around the league during his lengthy career ... so we're told he had several storage units throughout the country and had no clue these specific items would be included.

White tells us they've made several attempts to make contact with the company to fix the issue ... but have not heard back as of this post.

Peterson continued ... "I did not authorize the sale of my trophies and am taking legal action. Trusting the company without supervision was my mistake. We allowed them to go into several of our storage units with clear instructions. They clearly did something unlawful."

"I want to emphasize that I am financially stable and would never sell off my hard-earned trophies or personal sports items."

TOP GUN: MAVERICK Wolfman, de la película original, demanda a paramount "¡Que se haga justicia!"

Una de las estrellas de "Top Gun" ha demandado a Paramount, alegando que la compañía cinematográfica ha robado su imagen para la exitosa secuela.

Según los documentos legales, obtenidos por TMZ, Barry Tubb, que interpretó a Wolfman en el éxito de 1986, dice que el término "secuela" nunca se mencionó o contempló en su contrato original. Por lo tanto, no tenían derecho a utilizar su careto en "Top Gun: Maverick".

La escena en disputa: dos de los protagonistas de la secuela, Hangman (interpretado por Glen Powell) y Coyote (Greg Tarzan Davis) descubren que Rooster Bradshaw (Miles Teller) es el hijo superviviente de Goose.

Rooster señala la fotografía de la clase de Top Gun del 86 que cuelga detrás de él ... y cuando la cámara se acerca, se ve a Wolfman sentado junto a Goose, Iceman y Maverick.

Tubb dice que no tenían derecho a usar esa foto, que nunca le pidieron permiso y que nunca le pagaron ni un céntimo. Pide una indemnización no especificada, pero teniendo en cuenta que la película ha recaudado casi 1.500 millones de dólares, quiere mucho.

"Top Gun: Maverick" superó en taquilla a "Vengadores: Infinity War" para convertirse en la sexta película más taquillera de todos los tiempos.

'Top Gun: Maverick' Wolfman from OG Film Sues Paramount I Have a Need for Justice!!!

A star in the OG "Top Gun" is suing Paramount, claiming the movie company ripped off his image for the hit sequel.

According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Barry Tubb, who played Wolfman in the 1986 monster hit, says the term "sequel" was never mentioned or contemplated in his original contract. Therefore, they had no right to use his mug in "Top Gun: Maverick."

The scene in contention -- two of the sequel's main characters Hangman (played by Glen Powell) and Coyote (Greg Tarzan Davis) discover Rooster Bradshaw (Miles Teller) is Goose's surviving son.

Rooster points at the photograph of the Top Gun Class of '86 hanging behind him ... and when the camera zooms in, you see Wolfman sitting beside Goose, Iceman, and Maverick.

el PRESIDENTE BIDEN come en un lugar mexicano Y deja veinte dólares por un burrito

El presidente Joe Biden está en Los Ángeles esta semana para recaudar fondos para su campaña de reelección, pero también está repartiendo algo riqueza.

El Presidente y un grupo de políticos y agentes del Servicio Secreto llegaron a un restaurante mexicano en el barrio de Baldwin Hills, donde apareció en el Café de CJ para el almuerzo, aunque nos informan que terminó pidiendo un desayuno.

Un representante de CJ nos dice que Joe tenía antojo de un burrito de desayuno básico con jamón, huevos y tocino y nos dicen que incluso pidió un jugo de naranja.

Estaba allí con la alcaldesa Karen Bass, y CJ nos dice que a ella también le apetecían huevos para comer. Más específicamente un plato de huevos revueltos con queso, tomates y tostadas. Sí, no son necesariamente platos mexicanos, pero bueno, eso es lo que querían comer.

De todas formas, nos dicen que Biden y Bass pagaron por separado, y que sus equipos se hicieron cargo de sus facturas con sus respectivas tarjetas de crédito. Sin embargo, CJ dice que Joe dejó algo extra para el equipo, una propina de $20 que nos dicen que pagó con dinero en efectivo.

De hecho, se le puede ver metiendo la mano en la cartera en esta foto, y el precio final fue al rededor de $30 dólares.

Claramente, hubo un montón de gente en el restaurante que quiso tomarse algunas fotos con el Presidente, y él accedió, además de compartir con los gerentes y propietarios del lugar.

Lo creas o no, el local no cerró durante la espontánea visita.

President Biden Hits Up Mexican Joint in L.A. Leaves $20 Tip for Breakfast Burrito

President Joe Biden is in L.A. this week to fundraise for his reelection campaign -- but he's also out here spreading the wealth ... including with some Jacksons for the common folk.

JB and a bunch of politicians and Secret Service agents hit up a Mexican restaurant in the Baldwin Hills neighborhood ... where he popped into CJ's Cafe for lunch, although -- we're told he ended up ordering a breakfast item.

A CJ rep tells us Joe had a hankering for a basic breakfast burrito -- complete with ham, eggs and bacon ... and we're told the Prez even ordered an orange juice to wash it down.

He was there with Mayor Karen Bass, BTW, and CJ's tells us she was also feeling eggs for lunch -- going in on a plate of scrambled eggs with cheese, tomatoes and toast. Yes, they're not necessarily Mexican dishes, per se, but hey ... this is what they were in the mood for.

Anyway, we're told Biden and Bass paid separately ... and that their teams took care of their bills with respective credit cards. However, CJ's says Joe left a little something extra for the crew ... namely, a $20 tip which we're told he paid for with cash.

You can actually see him reaching into the old wallet in this photo here ... and his total bill also appears to be on display as well. It was about $30 -- the cost of grub in this economy!

And yes ... a bunch of people there in the restaurant were eager to snap some pics with Joey -- and he happily obliged, including photos with the managers/owners of the joint.

And no, believe it or not ... we're told CJ's wasn't shut down for this spontaneous pop-in.

EL YOUTUBER JACK DOHERTY es DEMANDADO POR ASALTO y AGRESIÓN Por el puñetazo de un guardaespaldas

X / @dohertyjackk

Jack Doherty ha sido demandado por agresión y lesiones por un hombre que afirma que Doherty y otro hombre le dieron una paliza en una fiesta unos días antes de Halloween.

Según nuevos documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ, un hombre llamado Chase Gardella está demandando al YouTuber y guardaespaldas Kane Kongg -nombre real Justin Goslee- por un incidente que aparentemente fue capturado en un video que muestra a Kane golpeando a una persona directamente en la cara.

Recordemos que en octubre, Jack publicó un clip de una fiesta de Halloween en Los Ángeles, donde parecía que estaba involucrado en un altercado con varios invitados. En el clip, se puede ver a Kane golpear a alguien de pie junto al YouTuber Corinna Kopf, que luego cae en el camino de ladrillo debajo de él con fuerza.

Gardella afirma que estaba en esta fiesta de Halloween el 29 de octubre y estaba hablando con Jack y Kane alrededor de las 12:30 AM. Según los documentos, Jack dijo "Vamos a pelear. Nosotros dos contra ustedes dos, muy bien" -cosa que se alinea con el clip de YouTube- y momentos más tarde, Chase dice que Kongg le dio un puñetazo.

Chase dicie que no consintió en ser golpeado y sufrió lesiones en la cabeza, el cuello y la cara cuando cayó. Gardella afirma que Jack ha publicado varios videos en su cuenta de YouTube en los que sus guardaespaldas intimidan a las personas que reaccionan mal a sus bromas.

También afirma que Goslee ha tenido problemas legales por agresiones en el pasado - como recordarás, informamos de un supuesto incidente anterior en el que fue acusado de noquear a una mujer mientras trabajaba como seguridad para DaBaby.

El abogado de Chase -Greyson Goody- le dice a TMZ: "Esta fue una agresión repugnante y no provocada contra un hombre joven por un boxeador profesional en la dirección de su empleador influenciador de medios sociales. Chase se ocupaba de sus asuntos, disfrutando de una divertida fiesta de Halloween con amigos cuando fue brutalmente atacado por un hombre varias veces más grande que él. Este tipo de comportamiento por parte de Jack Doherty y sus compinches tiene que terminar. Chase sufrió lesiones graves que podrían arruinar su vida y su carrera".
