Harvey Weinstein Accuser Paz de la Huerta Demands $2 Mil ... Threatens More Damage

Paz de la Huerta, who's already accused Harvey Weinstein of rape, claims to have new explosive facts about him, but she's willing to keep it out of the courts -- IF he ponies up big time.

According to a demand letter obtained by TMZ ... the actress wants at least $2 million from the disgraced Hollywood producer or she'll file a new lawsuit against him. She's previously sued him over 2 alleged incidents in 2010.

To add some extra firepower, Paz is threatening more damaging allegations against Weinstein. Among them ... she claims Weinstein developed an "immoral and unwholesome interest in her sexually" when she was just 14, and working on the film, "The Cider House Rules."

The actress also alleges The Weinstein Company rented apartments in NYC that were used "exclusively for the illicit sexual activities of Harvey Weinstein" ... including a unit on the same floor of the building where she lived as a child.

She alleges this rental was used to track her as she grew and continued to offer her work ... and then he raped her when she came of age.

Even worse, de le Huerta suggests Weinstein's company -- including his brother, Robert -- knew about his proclivities and should have warned her.

As we reported ... Paz and her lawyer met with prosecutors last month, but so far the Manhattan D.A. has declined to criminally prosecute Weinstein over her allegations.

If she gets the multi-million-dollar settlement she wants, she promises not to file a new civil suit and to stop pushing for criminal charges.

Weinstein's civil attorney, Elior Shiloh, tells us ... the new claims have absolutely no merit and it's "extortion." He adds that Weinstein will defend himself against this "unfortunate shakedown."

Ex-MSU Star Mateen Cleaves Not Guilty ... in Rape Case

Ex-Michigan State star and NBA player Mateen Cleaves has been acquitted on ALL charges in his rape case ... after a jury determined the hooper was not guilty in court on Tuesday.

Cleaves -- who led Michigan State to a national title in 2000 -- was accused of taking a woman to a motel in 2015 and held her there against her will. The woman claimed Cleaves forced himself on her and raped her.

A jury of 9 women and 3 men deliberated for 2 1/2 hours before reaching the verdict.

Cleaves -- who has adamantly maintained the sex with the accuser was consensual -- had support from legendary Spartans coach, Tom Izzo, who attended the closing arguments in the Flint courtroom.

It's a huge victory for Cleaves, who faced up to 15 years behind bars if he had been convicted of unlawful imprisonment, assault with intent to commit sexual penetration, and criminal sexual conduct.

Cristiano Ronaldo Admits He Paid $375k to Rape Accuser ... Denies Guilt

Cristiano Ronaldo is publicly acknowledging he paid $375,000 in hush money to the woman who claims she was raped by the soccer star in 2009 -- but still adamantly denies wrongdoing ... and it's all spelled out in new legal docs obtained by TMZ Sports.

Kathryn Mayorga had claimed she took the money from CR7 back in 2010 as part of a private settlement -- and has previously said she signed a confidentiality agreement vowing to keep her mouth shut about the alleged incident.

As we previously reported, Mayorga claims she met Ronaldo at Rain Nightclub in the Palms hotel in June 2009 and went to party with him in his penthouse suite ... where he raped her.

She went to police, but never identified Ronaldo by name -- only describing him as a huge soccer star.

Back in 2018, she publicly ID'd Ronaldo and cops launched an investigation -- but officials ultimately decided NOT to bring charges against CR7 due to lack of evidence.

Ronaldo has adamantly denied the allegations.

Mayorga filed a civil lawsuit against Ronaldo -- and now, Ronaldo has filed new court docs asking a judge to throw out the case because they have a binding settlement agreement PLUS he claims the statute of limitations has LONG expired.

But, what's interesting ... in the same docs, Ronaldo finally acknowledges the amount paid to settle with Mayorga in 2010.

"Mr. Ronaldo paid Plaintiff the sum of $375,000 and both parties agreed to be bound by explicit confidentiality and non-disparagement obligations," the new court docs filed by Ronaldo state.

Several lines of the new court docs explaining the details of the settlement have been redacted -- but Ronaldo's point is clear.

He also says in the court docs the settlement money is NOT an admission of guilt ... but rather just the cost of keeping a legal dispute out of the media.

So, what happens now? Ronaldo's argument will go in front of the judge who will ultimately decide whether Mayorga can move forward with her lawsuit.

Of course, LO has been very open about his sex addiction ... claiming he's knocked boots with more than 2,000 women -- including strippers and prostitutes -- in his book, "Darkness to Light."

'The Exorcist' Priest Accused of Sexually Abusing Student

The real-life priest who starred in "The Exorcist" is now accused of repeatedly sexually abusing one of his students at a Jesuit High School in upstate NY.

Father William J. O'Malley played Father Dyer in the 1973 classic horror flick, but before and after his Hollywood success ... he taught at McQuaid Jesuit High in Rochester. One of his students just named O'Malley in a massive lawsuit filed this week against multiple defendants.

According to docs, obtained by TMZ, O'Malley allegedly sexually abused a then 17-year-old student "multiple times" in '85 and '86. His accuser claims the abuse took place in a classroom, in school hallways and also at school-sponsored events.

As it turns out, O'Malley left McQuaid High after the '85-'86 school year and took a job at Fordham Prep in the Bronx. McQuaid officials say they have no record of any sexual abuse complaints against O'Malley ... so it doesn't appear that was his reason for leaving.

The allegations were made in a lawsuit filed this week under NY's new Child Victims Act ... which gives alleged victims a 1-year window to make claims that would previously have expired under the statute of limitations.

O'Malley is now 87 and living at Fordham University. He was fired from Fordham Prep School in 2012, reportedly for having an "abrasive" old-school teaching style.

The lawsuit was filed against the Rochester diocese and several schools and churches. O'Malley is not a defendant, but McQuaid Jesuit High is.

R. Kelly Prosecutors Play Their Hand ... Evidence He Took Girls Across State Lines for Sex

Prosecutors in the R. Kelly cases revealed some of the evidence they have to prove R. Kelly took underage women across state lines for sexual purposes.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, federal prosecutors in New York have more than a dozen flight records, birth certificates for a number of women, hotel receipts, bank records, medical records and various other business documents. They also have Uber records, photos and text messages.

One of the hotel receipts is for the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel. Another is for the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut and the Planet Hollywood resort in Vegas.

The end game for prosecutors is to prove R. Kelly violated the Mann Act, which makes it a crime for people to transport people across state lines for illicit sexual purposes.

Kelly is facing criminal charges in multiple jurisdictions -- New York federal court, Illinois federal court, Illinois state court and Minnesota state court.

The singer is currently being held in an Illinois jail cell. As we reported, he's in talks with famed criminal defense lawyer Tom Mesereau to rep him.

'Little Women: LA' Christy Gibel Husband Says Marriage Wasn't a Sham ... And Yes, We Had Sex!!!

"Little Women: LA" star Christy Gibel is telling a tall tale by claiming her marriage to Todd was sexless ... at least according to Todd, who says they definitely banged.

Todd's filed his response to Christy asking a court to annul their marriage ... pushing back against her claim the marriage was never consummated, and denying her allegations of financial fraud.

According to the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Todd says Christy's claim that "we did not have sexual intercourse once" during the marriage is flat-out false and sells his sex game short.

It still sounds like they weren't doing the nasty on the regular, though. In the docs, Todd says he had trouble with his mobility during their time together, so he usually slept downstairs while she slept upstairs. He adds, the short climb up the stairs was just too damn painful for his body.

As for Christy accusing him of financial fraud ... Todd claims he didn't take out loans in her name without her consent. He says he took loans out against his 401k and used some of the money to buy Christy's daughter the "princess bedroom" of her dreams.

In California, a person can get an annulment if there's proof the marriage was fraudulently induced -- but Todd says he only married Christy because he loved her, and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

Singer Files Lawsuit Claims Molestation When She Was 14

A singer has just filed a lawsuit claiming she was sexually molested when she was just 14 by her producer/agent/mentor.

The lawsuit does not mention the name of the girl or the alleged perpetrator. It claims she recorded an album in 2005 when she was 14, and she was signed to a 7-album deal. The lawsuit claims the entertainment company she worked with is "one of the most beloved, best-known and most valuable companies in the history of the world."

She says she was introduced to a man who was assigned to be her day-to-day producer/mentor/agent.

She says he became very controlling and the relationship changed. She claims in the lawsuit he began telling her he loved her and they were soulmates. She says he also made negative comments about her looks and weight.

She says he would rub and fondle her genitals and her body, digitally penetrate her and he would orally copulate her and forced her to do the same to him. She also claims they had intercourse, both vaginally and anally. On one occasion she claims she was drugged before anal intercourse.

She claims the man spent a significant amount of time with her mom to "groom" her.

The girl says the sexual abuse continued for 2 years ... on occasion at Staples Center, a music video set on the Warner Bros. lot, hotels, cars on public streets and other places.

She's suing the alleged perpetrator, along with people she claims were enablers.

Jeffrey Epstein Estate Sued Accuser Says He Raped Her at 15

Jeffrey Epstein continues to be dogged by sexual abuse allegations in death -- a woman just sued his estate claiming he raped her as a teen ... and she appears to have a case thanks to a new state law.

32-year-old Jennifer Araoz just filed suit against Epstein's estate, as well as one of his alleged conspirators, Ghislaine Maxwell, claiming the billionaire financier sexually abused her for more than a year, culminating in an alleged brutal rape around 2002 at his NYC home. She's also suing 3 other women, including Epstein's secretary and his maid, claiming they were all in on the plot.

In the suit, obtained by TMZ, Araoz says Maxwell helped poach her from her high school, where she says she facilitated staking out young girls, and made them available to Epstein in 2001 at the age of 14. Araoz claims Epstein eventually invited her into his personal massage room where he asked her to partially disrobe and give him a massage, which she did.

The woman alleges he made a habit for a full year of finishing the massages by turning over and masturbating while grabbing her breast -- paying her $300 each time. One day, she claims he asked her to fully disrobe and sit on his stomach during the massage ... and then, suddenly, forced his penis inside her without a condom.

After that, Araoz says she cut off all communication with Epstein. Now, she's got an opportunity to go after damages in civil court due to a new New York law ... a law which gives victims of sexual abuse when they were minors a 1-year window from February 2019 to February 2020 to file a civil lawsuit -- regardless of when the alleged abuse took place. This is a one-time only law.

Araoz detailed her allegations earlier this summer on national television -- but the law gives her a chance to have them heard in court ... in front of a judge.

Of course, Epstein died by hanging himself in his jail cell this past weekend. The facility is now on the hot seat for various lapses, including guards who fell asleep and did not properly check on Epstein.

Shaggy thinks Blueface should keep slaying as many Thotianas as he can ... provided he does one, super important thing.

We got Shaggy Friday leaving SiriusXM's headquarters in NYC and asked about Blueface's Ric Flair/Wilt Chamberlain-esque big boast. ICYMI ... Blueface told legendary radio DJ Big Boy earlier this week that in the first 6 months of 2019 ... he'd already banged more than 1,000 chicks.

Blueface
KEEPIN' COUNT

Ya gotta see Shaggy's reaction. True or not ... Shaggy's happy for Blueface but he offers the rapper some sage advice when it comes to laying down the pipe. Shaggy's not worried if Blueface slips one past the goalie.

In case you're wondering ... Ric Flair claims he's banged 10,000 women -- give or take a few -- and Wilt Chamberlin, of course, famously bragged his tally is 20,000 strong. But, not everyone's buying that.

Kid Rock Attacks Taylor Swift's Career, Politics ... With Twisted Oral Sex Remark

Kid Rock's taking a shot at Taylor Swift's jump into acting by claiming she's down to trade sex acts for movie roles -- but it really looks like a pretty transparent political attack.

The staunch Donald Trump supporter woke up Friday morning and, much like POTUS, decided to go on the attack ... on Twitter. Kid said Taylor "wants to be a democrat because she want to be in movies ... period. And it looks like she will suck the door knob of Hollyweird to get there. Oldest move in the book. Good luck girl."

We're gonna take a scary leap into Kid Rock's head and presume he was responding to headlines about Taylor's reasoning for not endorsing Hillary Clinton in 2016. In short ... she said she felt her endorsement would've been a liability for Hillary because both she and the candidate were being called snakes and liars at the time.

Kid, who famously visited Trump in the Oval Office back in 2017, clearly doesn't care about Taylor's explanation ... only that she's NOT backing his guy in the White House.

BTW ... Chrissy Teigen weighed in on Kid's rant and summed it up with two words:

R. Kelly Charged with Two Sex Crimes ... Allegedly Paid Teen for Sexual Contact in Minnesota

UPDATE

5:29 PM PT -- R. Kelly's attorney Douglas Anton tells us ... even Minnesota authorities admit there was "no sexual intercourse, or penetration of any kind" between the singer and the alleged victim. 

UPDATE

He adds, "Frankly I don’t understand where the criminal activity exists in this matter. But I believe this highlights what has now become the absurdity of the bulk of the charges against our client."  

UPDATE

2:14 PM PT -- Kelly's accuser claims she met him at a fan meet and greet in a Minneapolis mall, and ended up getting a phone number with the autograph. According to docs, obtained by TMZ, she told police, when she called the number, she was told to go to a hotel suite, and Kelly eventually met her there.

UPDATE

In docs, she says they had small talk and then Kelly gave her $200 to dance ... and then helped her out of her clothing. He also disrobed, according to the accuser ... who says Kelly began masturbating while rubbing her genitals.

UPDATE

She says when the dance was over, Kelly said he'd see her at his concert later that night.

UPDATE

The accuser says she attended as a guest of Kelly's. She says she wouldn't have been able to get in without the pass because she wasn't 18 yet.

UPDATE

The woman first reported the alleged incident to cops on Jan. 11, 2019.

UPDATE

Interestingly, that is just 3 days after Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx held a news conference urging any potential victims of Kelly to come forward. 

UPDATE

If convicted of the allegations in Hennepin County, Kelly faces up to 5 years in prison and a $10k fine. 

R. Kelly just got hit with more sex crime charges ... this time in Minnesota, where prosecutors say the disgraced singer once paid a teenage girl to have sexual contact with him in his hotel room.

According to prosecutors, the alleged incident went down on July 11, 2001 in Minneapolis ... and they say the alleged victim was between the ages of 16 and 17.

Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman says the alleged victim initially approached Kelly seeking an autograph, and claims Kelly paid her $200 to get naked and engage in sex acts with him.

Prosecutors are charging Kelly with two sex crimes ... engaging in prostitution with someone under 18, and hiring/offering/agreeing to hire someone for sexual contact.

Freeman says there was no sexual intercourse between Kelly and the alleged victim, but he claims there was "dancing and sexual contact." He admitted the case will be difficult to prosecute, given that the evidence is almost 20 years old. Prosecutors say the tip came through a Chicago tip line.

THE NEW CHARGES

The alleged victim is being represented by Gloria Allred.

R. Kelly's attorney, Steve Greenberg, just weighed in on the new charges ... tweeting, "give me a break. This is beyond absurd."

The New York case is separate from Kelly’s 13-count indictment in Illinois federal court, which includes charges of child porn, enticement of a minor and obstruction of justice. Kelly is also fighting 10 charges of aggravated sexual abuse in Cook County, Illinois.

SUPPORTING R. KELLY
TMZ.com

Just like in his federal case in Illinois, Kelly's 2 girlfriends -- Azriel Clary and Joycelyn Savage -- are there for moral support. As we told you, they flew from Chicago to attend the arraignment ... and stuck to their phones as they walked in.

Azriel's phone itself is a symbol of her support. Take a close look -- the case is a collage of various photos of Kelly.

There's also a group of Kelly supporters that have gathered outside the courthouse ... one wearing a "Free R. Kelly" t-shirt.

As we reported ... the feds slapped Kelly with a 5-count federal indictment ... which includes racketeering and kidnapping. This is separate from the 13-count indictment in Illinois federal court. The indictment out of the Eastern District of NY also includes several violations of the Mann Act and allegations of forced labor.

Kelly denied the allegations ... blasting his alleged victims as "disgruntled groupies," this according to docs in which he asks the judge to release him pending trial. He's been behind bars since he was denied bond.

According to the federal indictment ... Kelly and others engaged in a scheme to coerce minors to participate in sexually explicit acts on camera. The feds say the purpose of the scheme was to "promote R. Kelly's music and the R. Kelly brand and to recruit women and girls to engage in illegal sexual activity with Kelly."

The feds also allege "Kelly and his crew traveled throughout the United States and abroad to recruit these women and girls." Further allegations include Kelly made "threats of force and physically restrained the women" to obtain their labor and services.

BTW ... the Mann Act prohibits the transportation of anyone across state lines for illicit sexual purposes. Four of the 5 counts against Kelly are violations of the Mann Act.

Karlie's fans are gonna get to know her super intimately ... honchos at Doc Johnson tell TMZ their experts recently made molds of Karlie's lady parts, and they're turning them into sex toys called strokers.

We're told the little gadgets feel exactly like the real thing ... so Karlie's admirers can get down with her any time, any where. What a country!!!

Karlie's worked with Doc Johnson in the past, marketing some of their other products ... and after she recently became a certified sexologist -- yes, that's a real thing -- Doc Johnson brought her back to push her own sex toy line.

The vagina and butt molds took 6 hours to make ... and the sex toys will soon be retailing for about $70 a pop. Hey, that's cheaper than most dates.

It's truer than ever ... sex sells!!!

R. Kelly Calls Alleged Victims 'Disgruntled Groupies'

R. Kelly just filed legal docs blasting his alleged victims, referring to them as "disgruntled groupies."

The singer's docs ask a federal judge to release him before his pending trial. His lawyers say he does not represent a threat, because they claim the allegations against him are bogus. In explaining their position, they say the "groupies sought out Robert's attention, even fought each other for it, voluntarily contacted him, came to his shows, pined to be with him ..."

R. Kelly's lawyer, Douglas Anton, doesn't stop there. He claims in the doc the government is trying to paint a picture of a nefarious pattern, but it all amounts to "five disgruntled groupies, not all of which are alleged to be underage, who now show groupie remorse so many years later and only after a TV Show and an aggressive, vocal Cook County prosecutor makes a public cry for 'victims come forth,' tell your story and be famous."

And, there's more ... R. Kelly's team zeroes in on one of the alleged victims who was not a minor when she first had contact with him. They say she came to his door and "wanted him so much that she alleges that she did not require or even request that a condom be used." As for her allegation Kelly gave her herpes ... Kelly's lawyers say she was "admittedly promiscuous," and the feds never looked into how many other sexual partners she had.

'Euphoria' Star Dominatrix Story Doesn't Translate ... Men Are Scared of Me!!!

072919_barbie_ferreira_kal
SCARIN' THEM AWAY
TMZ.com

One of the stars of the HBO teen drama, "Euphoria," says art definitely does NOT imitate life when it comes to her character ... who's ramping up to become a full-blown dominatrix.

Barbie Ferreira -- who plays the the sexually reborn (and empowered) Kat Hernandez on the show -- was leaving LAX Sunday night, when our camera guy ran into her and had a bit of a fanboy moment. As he told her, if he wasn't working ... he'd be watching the new episode.

Speaking of that ... we asked the 22-year-old if she runs back her own work and takes it in as a regular viewer. Turns out, she does! But, there's a catch about how she has to watch.

Considering the extremely graphic nature of the series -- involving sex, drugs and LOTS of other stuff -- we don't blame her for turning down the volume based on her neighbors.

Now, here's something too. Our guy asks if her life has become anything like that of her character's -- with guys throwing themselves at her to solicit her, um, services. Doesn't sound like that's happening though ... if anything, Barbie says it's the opposite.

It's all good though -- Barbie's a real-life sweetheart. And, like our photog mentions, "Euphoria" is well on its way to legendary status for its brutally honest and raw look at high school life ... even if the nudity includes prosthetics.
