Russell Simmons had a Father’s Day worth forgetting … as his estranged family is accusing the music mogul of being a gaslighting expert who’s rattled their last nerves.
The day took a sour start when Russ' oldest daughter Ming effectively burned her dad and wished her MOTHER, Kimora Lee Simmons, a Happy Father’s Day.
Russ was apparently feeling left out from the Father’s Day love … and shared a not-so-cryptic post on IG blaming his estranged wife Kimora for making him jump through hoops to be a father to his kids.
Unfortunately for the Def Jam Records co-founder, his kids didn't see it that way and continued to drag him.
On Monday, Kimora went live and explained the issues with Russ run deep, she says she's had Russ blocked on social media for a long time, yet he still continues to post like they’re good friends.
His daughter, Aoki, also shared a ton of rancid text messages between her and Russ — and a muted video of him raging manically on FaceTime. She told her followers she also is at her last resort with mending the relationship.
The family seems to think he’s suffering from some sort of mental issue … and refuses to get checked out.
We reached out to a rep for Russ ... so far, no word back.
We covered the drama in the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Kourtney Kardashian 1st Comes ❤️, Then 👰 Then Comes a Baby (Bump)!!!
Kourtney Kardashian broke her big baby news this weekend -- and it seems this was a well-kept secret ... 'cause her baby bump is actually pretty big, which she just revealed online.
The eldest Kardashian sister posted new photos of her belly Sunday -- this after letting the world (and her husband) know that she was newly expecting in awesome fashion. As it turns out, it appears she's quite far along ... meaning she's been sitting on this for a minute.
We're not gonna play doctor and pretend we know where she's at in the pregnancy -- but at first glance, it would seem she's well into the first trimester ... and then some, perhaps.
As for the pics themselves ... they're absolutely adorable. You see Kourt and Trav hugging up on each other -- smooching, hugging, and even a little drumming (kidding, of course) with TB playfully using his sticks on her stomach. The dude even goes in to kiss the baby-to-be.
It's interesting ... we know for a fact Travis was completely stunned to learn that Kourtney was pregnant -- based on his reaction to the announcement, which went down live during a Blink-182 concert. As we all know ... KK blasted the news out via old-school signage.
However, considering how preggo she looks here ... you gotta wonder, how the heck did the dude not pick up on it any sooner??? He's living/sleeping with her -- and yet, she appears to have been able to keep this one under wraps until it was time to let everyone know.
Obviously, her sisters were probably in the know about her bun in the oven -- and considering how much she's showing ... maybe even Shanna Moakler was privy to it too ... as she claims she has been for weeks. If that's the case -- well done keeping it on the DL.
As you know ... this would be Kourtney's fourth child -- she has three others with her ex, Scott Disick -- and it marks Travis' third. They've hinted at wanting kids of their own since getting hitched ... following a whirlwind romance that ultimately became a fairy tale.
Now, it looks like their wish will be granted with a new life. Congrats again to the soon-to-be parents!

Shanna Moakler Kourtney's Pregnancy ... No Surprise, I've Known for Weeks!!!
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are really good actors ... at least that's what his ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, is strongly insinuating with her reaction to the couple's "surprise" pregnancy announcement.
As we reported, Kourtney shocked a stadium full of Blink-182 fans Friday night when she held up a sign reading, "Travis, I'm Pregnant." Trav also seemed genuinely shocked by his wife's handwritten banner.
Enter Shanna ... who was asked by a follower Saturday on social media if she had anything to say about the happy moment. The model said she was "very excited" for them, but reportedly added another, more bitter, comment ... "I've known for weeks. This is not new news to me."
It appears she's since deleted that comment ... which could mean it was BS, or Shanna got cold feet about blowing up the spot for Kourtney and Travis.
Either way, you get what she's hinting -- that Trav and Kourt were just putting on a good show for the fans in the middle of his concert, and they both already knew Kourtney was expecting ... because if his ex-wife knew, he had to know.
An isolated camera view of Travis when the shot of Kourtney's sign first went into the stadium's big screen, sure seemed to reflect genuine surprise for him.
Travis and his ex-wife have 2 kids together -- daughter Alabama and son Landon -- so, Shanna certainly could be privy to any big family news.
Bottom line, though ... Kourtney and Travis' already blended family of 6 kids is growing by one -- regardless of who knew what when.

Rebel Wilson I'm Not Getting Married at Disney ... But Not Due to Past Ban

Exclusive

Rebel Wilson is NOT planning a blowout wedding at Disneyland, despite a report to the contrary ... she says she's getting married somewhere else, and it's not related to an old Mouse House ban.
The actress, who attended the launch party for her new dating app, Fluid, on Thursday, tells TMZ ... she and her fianceé Ramona Agruma's decision to forgo a Disney fairy tale on their big day has nothing to do with the fact Rebel was once banned from Disneyland for 30 days.
It's pretty obvious Rebel holds no grudge ... she popped the question to Ramona while at the Happiest Place on Earth for Valentine's Day -- but she tells us she was never planning to exchange their nuptials there, despite a recent report she's planning a "no-expenses-spared wedding" at Walt Disney's OG park.
Instead, Rebel tells us she and Ramona will say "I do" somewhere else -- they don't know exactly where yet, but it won't be Disneyland.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Rebel, who hosted the party with her best friend, Emmy-winning TV presenter Carly Steel, says their engagement was epic and special, and she's thankful park officials roped off a section on a busy day ... so she could propose in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle.
As for that old ban -- if you're unaware, Rebel revealed earlier this year that she once snapped a selfie while inside one of the park's secret bathrooms -- a big no-no -- and was shut out for 30 days.
She says it was a few years back, and Disneyland honchos actually asked her when she wanted to serve the 30 days, and she picked a month when she was busy filming.
The party, which went down at Funke in Beverly Hills, was hosted by Casamigos featuring the newest Casamigos Cristalino.

Update
3:29 PM PST -- TMZ has obtained more footage that shows the moments before Kourtney started flashing her "I'm Pregnant" sign ... and yet a new angle of their passionate kiss.
Check out this video we got our hands on ... it's a new angle that shows what was going on ahead of the big reveal, and it looks like Kourt had a gang of support on hand ready for her to throw up the sign. Once she did, the Blink-182 guys saw it almost immediately ... and flagged Travis onstage. BTW, some of her sisters (and their kids) were there too ... a whole family affair, it seems.
Once Trav reached Kourtney in the front row, they started kissing ... or making out, rather. The angle we saw earlier didn't quite show what we have here -- a straight up lovefest.
Yeah, he's stoked to be a daddy again. Good stuff, indeed.
1:06 PM PST -- Travis Barker was truly stunned when he learned that his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, was expecting a child ... which you can now see in full view in new video obtained by TMZ.
Check out this footage that shows the moment TB got the announcement communicated to him onstage. He seems to be genuinely confused at first, not really realizing the news is for him -- but once it all clicks, you can see his reaction ... shocked and overjoyed.
Just like other videos show, he hops down to embrace KK ... and they smooch. Sounds like the whole thing was just as much as a surprise for him as it was for everyone else.
Congrats again!

Kourtney Kardashian brought down the house at the Blink-182 concert Friday night with some earth-shattering news ... she's pregnant!!
The reality star was standing in a packed crowd watching her hubby Travis Barker and his bandmates perform Friday night at BMO Stadium in L.A. when she raised a large sign bearing an even larger message ... "Travis, I'm Pregnant."
Video of the super happy moment went viral ... showing Kourt smiling and jumping up and down with joy while holding the sign over her head.
After seeing the message, Travis stopped slapping the drums and jumped off stage to plant a big kiss on Kourt, celebrating their first child together.
Of course, everyone in the stadium -- fans and Trav's bandmates -- were cheering for the lovebirds. Kourt's sign, BTW, recreates a scene from Blink's "All the Small Things" music video.
And, no, it wasn't just for show ... Kourt later confirmed the pregnancy on her Instagram story.
As we reported, Kourt and Trav got hitched at a Santa Barbara courthouse in May 2022 after their decade-long friendship blossomed into a romance. A week later, they threw a more lavish wedding at the Dolce & Gabbana mansion in Portofino, Italy.
Around this time, Kourt started documenting her struggles with In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) -- a technique used to help people with fertility problems have babies.
Kourt even talked about it on her family's Hulu show, "The Kardashians," revealing her experience with IVF wasn't great and calling it "awful" at one point. Worse, Kourt said her prescribed medication for her IVF treatments caused her to go into menopause and, as a result, she fell into a depression and gained some weight.
She then put a pause on IVF altogether while freezing her eggs in the hopes of having her fourth child. While we don't know for sure, it's probably a good guess Kourt's egg freezing did the trick this time around. No word yet on No. 4's gender or name, but that should be forthcoming.
Kourtney shares three children with her ex Scott Disick: Mason Disick, 13, Penelope Disick, 10, and Reign Disick, 8. Travis, on the other hand, has 2 kids with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler: Landon Barker, 19, Alabama Barker, 17, plus his stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 24.
Now the couple can add one more kiddo to their enormous blended family list. Congrats you two!!

Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott End 17-Year Marriage with 'Great Sadness'
6:35 AM PT -- 6/18 -- Dean McDermott's post announcing the split has been taken down. It was deleted at some point on Saturday, just hours after he put it up. Interestingly, Tori Spelling still hasn't said anything about them breaking up.
Stay tuned ...
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are calling it quits on their nearly two-decade marriage.
Dean announced their breakup Friday night on social media, saying ... "It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways, and start a new journey of our own."
The Canadian actor added ... "We will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this difficult time."
It doesn't appear either party has filed anything in court yet.
So far, Tori has been mum about the split ... but, to Dean's point about co-parenting, the now estranged couple was photographed celebrating their daughter Stella Doreen's 15th birthday earlier this week at the Beverly Hilton.
They also share 4 other kids ... Hattie Margaret, 11; and sons Liam Aaron, 16, Finn Davey, 10, and Beau Dean, 6,
As you might recall, the "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum tied the knot with Dean back in 2006, and they renewed their vows 4 years later ... but their relationship has been rocky throughout.
In fact, Dean admitted to cheating on Tori, explaining that he was "out of control" and "sex was an escape." The couple even talked openly about Dean's infidelity on their own reality show, "True Tori."
For years now, there have been rumors they were heading toward divorce so Dean's announcement is not a total shock.

Tom Sandoval Clarifies Ariana T-Shirt Comment ... Blames Boring Sex
Tom Sandoval says he wasn't body-shaming Ariana Madix when he groaned about her leaving her shirt on during sex ... saying his issue was with her lack of passion.
The "Vanderpump Rules" star set the record straight Wednesday, telling paparazzi what he meant by his comment on the reunion show.
Remember, Tom caused outrage at the reunion when he dished on one of the couple's last sexual encounters ... "Yeah, she kept her t-shirt on ... it was really hot."
Tom says he was complaining about Ariana being unenthusiastic about sex ... and he compares her wearing a shirt to someone rushing him through sex in order to meet someone for lunch.
While Tom's been getting a lot of flak for the reunion show dig, he says folks who think he was body-shaming Ariana have it twisted.
For her part, Ariana is making money off Tom's comment ... she's marketing a shirt with her face and the phrase "F*** Me In This T-Shirt" that's selling for $34.99.
Tom also clears the air about Tom Schwartz ... and says he's not going to speak for Raquel Leviss.
We covered all of the 'VPR' drama on a recent episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

'Cousin Skeeter's' Robert Ri'chard Defends Meagan Dating Majors ... She's a Woman of God!!!
-
Exclusive
- 7.1K shares
Meagan Good has raised some eyebrows in dating Jonathan Majors amid his domestic violence criminal case -- but her old Nickelodeon costar isn't worried one bit.
We got Robert Ri'chard -- who used to costar with Meagan on "Cousin Skeeter" -- out in L.A. Wednesday ... and we cut right to the chase with him, asking if MG is making a mistake by embracing the embattled Majors at such a precarious time.
RR makes no bones about how he feels ... telling us, not only does Meagan have a good head on her shoulders, but that she's a great judge of character ... and has been for years.
He also references her religious background -- MG has been an outspoken Christian for quite a long time now -- and says quite bluntly ... "Meagan is a woman of God." What you can glean from that, it seems, is that she's perhaps seeing something in Jon that others aren't just yet.
Rob also states the obvious ... namely, that people in this country are innocent until proven guilty -- and that Majors deserves his day in court, and for all the evidence to come out first before people jump to any conclusions. Although, frankly, many already have in this case.
As we've reported ... Majors' romance with Meagan took many by surprise, especially in regard to timing. Remember, he's still fighting criminal charges after his ex accused him of hitting her earlier this year ... something he's adamantly denied over and over again.
Since then, we've seen JM and MG all over the world together ... whether it be shopping, dining, and even jet-setting. They seem to be quite simpatico and then some.
It's fascinating that Rob is defending her ... clearly, he knows her well -- and appears quite confident that she knows what she's doing ... and would never put herself in a compromising situation with someone she suspected was a bad dude.
BTW, we would be remiss if we didn't bring up "Cousin Skeeter" itself ... and the prospect of a revival. Trust, we didn't miss the opportunity to get a good scoop here, and we might just have one for fans of the show.
Check out Rob's description of where things are for a would-be reboot ... which brings back the OG cast, including himself and Meagan. On its face, it sounds like it could happen!
No word yet if the puppet itself is down to sign on to another run ... but something tells us Skeet *might* just be down. 😅

Amber Heard says she's loving her new life in Spain, far from her old life back in Hollywood ... and she's certainly feeling comfortable, speaking the native tongue fluently.
Amber was in good spirits Wednesday after having lunch in Madrid, answering questions from paps after being seen for the first time since forking over her million-dollar IOU to her ex, Johnny Depp.
The questions and Amber's responses are all in Spanish, so it's clear she's got the language down.
Amber says she's very happy in Spain and she hopes she can spend more time there because she loves living in the country with her daughter, Oonagh.
Remember ... Amber moved to Spain after losing last year's defamation trial to Johnny, which saw her insurance company recently pay him $1 million.
TMZ broke the story ... Johnny's spreading the million around 5 different charities near and dear to his heart, staying true to his stance that the defamation trial was about clearing his name and not about breaking Amber's bank.
A year after some dramatic courtroom moments, Amber and Johnny are both living separate and happy lives ... he's the toast of Hollywood, and she's left the biz for a change in scenery.

Kim Zolciak Kroy's a Liar, I'm a Great Mother!!!

Kim Zolciak is firing back at her estranged husband, Kroy Biermann, defending her abilities as a mother and accusing Kroy of years of emotional and mental abuse.
Kim's attorney, David Beaudry, issued a blistering statement to TMZ Tuesday, telling us Kroy's attempt to paint Kim as a bad mother is not only misleading and harmful to the reality star, but to the couple's young kids, too.
Beaudry continues, "The emotional and mental abuse Kim has suffered from this man for so many years has taken a toll on her and, most heartbreakingly, their children. Kim has always been an extremely devoted mother to her children; they are her entire world and she is always there to love and support them every step of the way."
Finally saying, "She refuses to allow Kroy to paint her as something she is not for his own gain. Kim looks forward to the day we can appear in court and solve these issues once and for all."
As we reported, Kroy filed docs earlier this week stating he was concerned Kim may go on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" and talk about their divorce.
Kroy Biermann Worried Kim Zolciak Will Talk Divorce on 'Real Housewives ATL'
He's asked the court to set up some sort of protection for their 4 kids while the divorce proceedings move forward.
Kroy claims he's tried his best to protect the kids, but says Kim's constantly talking in an "abusive" and "derogatory tone" about the divorce when they're all around.
To say the split has been nasty would be an understatement -- for starters, each filed their own petitions for divorce -- and there's a massive struggle over custody. What's more -- Kim's accused Kroy of having an issue with smoking too much pot ... and he says she's a gambling addict.
Buckle up ... it's far from over.

Larsa Pippen Hid Marcus Jordan W/ Fake Name In Cell ... Early In Relationship
Larsa Pippen says she was in super stealth mode in the early days of her relationship with Marcus Jordan ... admitting she gave her boyfriend an alias in her phone to keep people from finding out about their budding romance.
The 48-year-old reality TV star revealed the sneaky tactic in the couple's new podcast, "Separation Anxiety" ... saying she initially couldn't risk having people find out what was going on behind the scenes.
"I could never really put you under your name in my phone," Pippen said. "So I had you under Marc Jacob."
"I didn't want anyone to know when you called me."
Marcus seemed to completely understand the reasoning behind it -- after all, Scottie Pippen is Larsa's ex-husband, who has major beef with Marcus' pops, Michael Jordan ... and the two knew there was going to be a lot of "interest" if word got out that they were dating.
But, the couple decided to say to hell with the hate after a few months ... which was made clear after they started packing on the PDA wherever they went.
Marcus also spoke about how things got started ... and apparently Yo Gotti was right, 'cause it really does go down in the DMs.
"I do remember going on a trip to the Bahamas, taking a big group of friends, hit you in the DMs just saying, 'Hey, look we going to the Bahamas, you're more than welcome to come,'" Jordan said.
"I'll probably say that's the first move."
Pippen also had a few words for the trolls who still don't believe she just met Marcus a few years ago ... since Scottie and MJ played together for over a decade
"Like, I threw your 5th birthday or something," Pippen said. "Like, no, by the way, I never met you before."
Larsa admitted she feared she would never find true love again ... claiming there was no one out there who really got her attention the way Marcus does.
"I think I might be single forever because there's no one that's cute, funny, smart," Pippen said.
"Then when you and I first got together, I was like, 'Oh, my God, this is the guy.' This is the guy I prayed for, 'cause I really prayed for a best friend and I feel like I got my best friend."
At this rate, this Jordan/Pippen connection might be even stronger than the one that won six championships together.

Kroy Biermann Worried Kim Zolciak's Gonna Drag Him On 'Real Housewives: ATL'

Exclusive
- 192 shares
Kroy Biermann knows his estranged wife, Kim Zolciak, has zero filter when it comes to talking drama on camera, and he's worried about how it might impact their children.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the former NFL star filed a motion to appoint a guardians ad litem -- meaning someone who would essentially make sure the best interests of the kids are represented during the divorce proceedings.
Kroy claims he's tried his best to keep the estranged couple's minor kids -- Kroy Jr., Kash, and twins Kaia and Kane -- away from all the noise Kim's been making about their split, but adds she's constantly dragging him and talking in an "abusive" and "derogatory tone" about the divorce.
He's also concerned Kim will use her 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' outlet to garner more attention ... noting she's already alleged he smokes too much pot to take care of the kids, something he insists she has no proof to support.
Kroy doesn't hold back -- saying she's the one who's not paying enough attention to their kids lately and has been spending too much time on virtual slot machines ... adding one of the few times she does pay attention is when she lets them gamble on her account.
What's more, he says he's concerned she's taking videos of herself while driving with the kids in the car, and says he's picked up most of the slack since they let go of their nannies and chefs ... although he does say Kim has made a few meals for the kids like chicken fingers and frozen pizza.
TMZ broke the story, Kim recently posted a pic of herself with some 'RHOA' cast members -- leading many to speculate she was back to filming on the show. However, our sources say the photo was taken a few months back -- before the split -- and Kim only filmed a cameo.
All in all, Kroy thinks it's in the best interest to appoint guardians ad litem to rep the minor children during the increasingly nasty split.

Marvel Star Tenoch Huerta Denies Sexual Assault Allegations
Tenoch Huerta, famous for playing Namor in "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever," is denying a recent sexual assault allegation against him.
The Marvel star broke his silence Monday after being accused Saturday of sexually assaulting musician María Elena Ríos, who also claimed he was a "sexual predator." Tenoch says her accusation is "false and completely unsubstantiated."
In a statement shared on social media, Tenoch says he could not let Ríos' allegation "go unchallenged any longer" ... he says they dated about a year ago for several months and their relationship was "entirely consensual at all times."
Tenoch says when he was dating Ríos they were in a "loving, warm and mutually supportive relationship" ... but when they split, he claims she "began to misrepresent our interactions both privately and in front of groups of mutual friends."
The actor says he's been working with a legal team to protect his reputation and adds ... "Although I am by no means perfect, I know that these allegations are simply untrue. And while I will always work to improve myself, I need to contest claims that are both false and offensive."
Tenoch ends his statement by saying ... "I am deeply grateful to my family and the people who have supported me and greatly appreciate everyone who is willing to look at the facts and reflect before rushing to an untrue and unjust conclusion."

Leonardo DiCaprio Cools Off After Models Galore ... Family Fun On The Yacht
Leonardo DiCaprio is cooling off after spending time with a bunch of hot models ... having a blast with some of his family as his vacation continues on the Amalfi Coast.
The actor took a big leap into the water Sunday off a beautiful yacht ... soaking in some rays with his niece Normandie -- as well as his pops George and stepmother Peggy.
The gang's sleeping on the boat -- but took some time off for a sweet excursion, checking out the Blue Grotto sea caves in Capri.
As we reported, Leo went from the Cannes Film Festival to relaxation mode at the end of last month, lounging on the big boat with some of his buddies, including Tobey Maguire.
Of course, we've seen Leo with a couple of babes during his time abroad -- 22-year-old model Meghan Roche spent a night on the yacht with him, although there wasn't a lot of PDA going on ... at least, as far as we could see.
He also recently grabbed dinner with Gigi Hadid, his dad and stepmom, and a bunch of other folks at a big dinner party in London ... and followed it up the next night by arriving at the same hotel in separate cars -- with Gigi ridin' with George and Peggy!
Gotta be a lot for Leo, keeping up with the ladies ... sounds like some family time on the yacht could do him some good.
