3:30 PM PT -- Chad has just been charged with 6 misdemeanors stemming from his domestic violence arrest.
He's charged with one count of corporal injury to his ex-girlfriend, one count of battery, one count of witness intimidation, one count of trespassing and two counts of vandalism.
Chad Johnson and Annalise Mishler are looking like they're reunited -- after ripping each other for days over his domestic violence arrest -- but he's not off the hook, criminally speaking.
The former 'Bachelorette' villain and his ex-girlfriend hit The Cheesecake Factory Sunday night in Sherman Oaks, CA, and put on an eyebrow-raising PDA show as they left the restaurant.
The two seemed to deliberately waffle when asked if they're back together -- Chad instead directed people to pay for their fan account for the inside scoop -- but did say they're still working through things.
Chad also scoffed a bit at the pending charges he's facing for domestic violence and robbery after he allegedly got physical with Annalise last month. He seems to think the charges might be dropped. Annalise points out, it's not up to her.
She's right ... the policy for domestic violence cases in L.A. is that they automatically go to the District Attorney to decide how to move forward, regardless of what transpires between the suspect and alleged victim.
So, the D.A.'s office will ultimately make the call if Chad gets charged for the February 24 altercation ... not him or Annalise.
As we reported ... they traded allegations of trying to ruin each other's lives last week via YouTube vids and social media, but maybe it's all water under the bridge now.
For them at least -- not the D.A.

'Bachelorette' Star Tyler Cameron Family Plans to Honor Late Mom with New Charity Org
Tyler Cameron's family wants to honor their late mother by starting a foundation in her honor ... and they're hoping to seed the organization with some crowdfunding.
The 'Bachelorette' star's brother launched a GoFundMe campaign just days after their mother, Andrea Hermann Cameron, died of a brain aneurysm at a hospital in Jupiter, Florida. She was rushed to a hospital after suffering the aneurysm, and died 2 days later.
Tyler's brother, Austin, says, "We feel compelled to honor our mother. We are developing a charitable foundation so that she can continue to impact others as she has always done."
He went on to say, "We feel this is the best way to continue her legacy of giving." Andrea regularly volunteered with multiple charity groups, and visited retirement homes to deliver presents around the holidays.
The campaign's goal is to raise $20,000. It's nearly halfway there after just one day.
As we reported ... Tyler was seen distraught in the wake of his mom's sudden passing.
The day after she died, Tyler posted a heartfelt tribute ... a photo of him and his 2 brothers holding her hand -- apparently in the hospital -- saying, "Heaven gained an angel."
Andrea was 55.

'Bachelorette' Alum Chad Johnson Ex-GF Says He's Out to Ruin Her Life ... Refuses Accountability
Ex-'Bachelorette' star Chad Johnson followed up a trip to the hospital for an evaluation by going on a smear campaign against his ex-girlfriend packed full of lies ... so says the ex herself.
Annalise Mishler says her ordeal with Chad's one of the most difficult things she's ever been through ... but it's being made way worse because he simply refuses to take responsibility for his behavior over the past 2 weeks.
Now, Mishler claims Johnson's out to ruin her life by posting false allegations to make himself look and feel better and make her look worse ... but she says it's very clear he's lying.
If you're unfamiliar, let's backtrack -- Chad was arrested for domestic violence and robbery last week after he allegedly got physical with Annalise. He addressed the situation the following day, admitting to getting angry and punching a hole in the wall -- which was seen on video -- but denying he'd put hands on her while also apologizing.
However, he followed that up days later with a concerning social media post depicting what looked like a makeshift hanging contraption, with the caption, "it'll be okay." The post sparked suicide fears and a welfare check ... and he was taken to a hospital for further evaluation less than 24 hours later after more troubling posts.
One of them included unfounded claims directed at Annalise, which ended with him writing, "All you had to do was hug me. You destroyed my life and it didn't even workout for you."
Johnson also made a YouTube video listing all the ways Mishler wronged him, essentially blaming her for his issues. She posted a response calling his vid "the most bizarre smear campaign attempt i've ever seen" and textbook manipulation.
Annalise feels he simply needs to be accountable for how he acts when he drinks and stop lying. She also has some advice for other people who are in a relationship and see red flags.

7:14 AM PT -- 3/1 -- Johnson just posted this, presumably talking about Annalise Mishler ... "You timed this entire thing. You started posting dancing videos. You started marketing your nudes. You did all of this thinking it would help you get recognition. All you had to do was hug me. You destroyed my life and it didn't even workout for you."
12:28 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Chad Johnson has been taken to a hospital by authorities out of fear he may be a danger to himself. We're told cops who responded to his home Saturday morning on a welfare check determined he needed to be taken in for further evaluation.
It's unclear if this would constitute a 5150 psychiatric hold, but for now ... it looks like the powers that be wanna get him checked out in the confines of a hospital to make sure he's okay. We're also told no injuries on Chad were reported by officers on the scene.
Chad Johnson is continuing to freak out his fans and followers on social media -- less than 24 hours after cops checked on him for a possible suicide threat.
The ex-'Bachelorette' star posted two new videos on his Instagram story overnight -- one of which shows him sitting at a table and blaring Billy Joel's "Piano Man" song, with what appears to be the cord he showed off on his door yesterday and a lone bottle cap.
Another video that follows shows Chad seemingly talking to someone from behind a door, with him quickly saying ... "I have no choice." Of course, these new clips come on the heels of Friday's terrifying post, which depicted what looked like a makeshift hanging contraption.
He captioned that photo, "it'll be okay." Cops told us they went out to his San Fernando home on a welfare check yesterday, but determined no imminent threat on his life.
The scary moment comes just a few days after he was arrested for domestic violence and robbery after he allegedly got physical with his ex-girlfriend, Annalise Mishler. Chad addressed the situation the following day, denying he'd put hands on her while also apologizing.
We got a call into West Valley office of the LAPD to see if they're dropping in on Chad again in light of this new disturbing information. We're told officers were on the scene this AM for a possible welfare check, but no further details are known at this time.

Ex-'Bachelorette' star Chad Johnson is under arrest after police investigated a couple of alleged fights between his girlfriend and him ... TMZ has learned.
LAPD took Johnson into custody Monday evening, and according to law enforcement sources his current GF, Annalise Mishler, called 911 because he was at her apartment and they'd gotten into a heated argument.
Annalise told cops Chad -- known as the bad boy from JoJo's 'Bachelorette' season -- was also at her apartment on Sunday, but she says that time things got physical. She claims Johnson was drunk and not only punched a hole in her wall, but also got physical with her.
Officers who responded Monday to Annalise's home, found she had visible red marks on her face. That was enough for cops to arrest Johnson, and according to our law enforcement sources, he's been booked for felony domestic violence and robbery.
We're told the robbery charge stems from Annalise's claim Chad snatched her phone away from her while she was calling 911.
Long before she called cops ... Annalise had put Johnson on blast on social media. Mishler, who is a YouTuber, posted a video Sunday night to her IG ... showing the hole she claims her BF punched in her wall.
She also posted video allegedly showing Johnson screaming at her, saying "I hope you f**king die" after she'd kicked him out of her place.
He told TooFab he hadn't had a drink in 2 months, but "Had a little relapse. Well, I wouldn't call it a little relapse. Big relapse." He apologized for getting so drunk he didn't remember seeing Annalise, but also denied getting physical with her.

'Bachelor' Alum Jade Roper Fantasy Cheating Claims Are BS ... We're Just Lucky!

6:40 AM PT -- 1/7 -- Jade Roper and her husband Tanner Tolbert are firing back at claims they colluded to win the DraftKings $1 million fantasy football prize ... saying it was nothing more than "pure luck."
"We respect that Draft Kings feels they must do their due diligence in regard to Jade winning their $1 million dollar prize for the fantasy contest for the NFL’s wild-card round this weekend," Jade and Tanner said in a joint statement.
"Though we must ponder, would the questions, accusations and curiosity about this win be the same if the winner had been male and someone who wasn’t already in the public eye?"
"It is incredibly important for us to establish that Jade’s win is nothing more than pure luck and we are confident that Draft Kings will determine the same."
Former 'Bachelor' contestant Jade Roper Tolbert won $1 MILLION in a DraftKings fantasy football event this weekend ... but the victory has triggered an investigation after it appears she may have cheated.
Roper -- who appeared on season 19 of 'Bachelor' and season 2 of "Bachelor in Paradise" -- was participating in DK's Millionaire Maker daily fantasy contest, which involved selecting a lineup of players from the 4 NFL Wild Card games.
Roper submitted 150 entries -- the maximum allowed -- and one of her lineups ended up winning the $1 MILLION top prize. She even bragged about it on social media!
The problem ... fantasy football experts have pointed out an interesting wrinkle -- that her lineups seemed to be coordinated with her husband's 150 entries to maximize their chances of winning.
'Bachelor in Paradise' Finale We Were Right, Pilot Pete Tapped for Tux Plus, 1st LGBTQ Proposal!!!
The "Bachelor in Paradise" finale was a fireworks show, and guess what -- we were right about ABC's next leading man -- plus the franchise aired the first same-sex engagement!!!
Hunky pilot Peter Weber -- who repeatedly scored with Hannah Brown in that windmill during last season's 'Bachelorette,' but ultimately got sent home -- is officially the next Bachelor ... so it was revealed on the 'BiP' finale.
"Pilot Pete" is ready for takeoff! We're talking one-on-one with the new @BachelorABC Peter Weber about what he learned from the @BacheloretteABC, the windmill and what he's looking for in his "dream girl." https://t.co/hkD1Ngi4PG pic.twitter.com/IjtgZ1sC0R

Of course, we figured out what was up last week at LAX, when a film crew followed Peter around as he made his way through a terminal in his pilot gear. We asked him at the time if it was true ... but he just blushed his way up the escalator.
There were other headlines that came out after Tuesday's show -- notably, Demi Burnett and Kristian Haggerty becoming one of 3 couples to pop the question ... making them the first same-sex couple to get engaged in the franchise's history.
Demi got on bended knee for Kristian, asking her hand in marriage on the beach. Kristian then returned the favor in front of a studio audience (pretaped, obviously prior to Tuesday's show). It was a sweet moment.

And now .... some backlash. Many fans criticized the show for NOT choosing Mike Johnson to be the next Bachelor -- he would've been the first black guy with that title. Of course, Rachel Lindsay made history a couple years back as the first black Bachelorette.
Some folks felt it was time to do the same on the male side, but it looks like ABC brass went with Petey. Like they say ... win some, lose some. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Rumored 'Bachelor' Pilot Pete Busted by TMZ Photog ... He's the Chosen One!!!

Peter Weber is pretty clearly the next Bachelor ... and you can thank our photog, Charlie, for the scoop.
Charlie spotted Peter Thursday at LAX ... actually, it wasn't that hard, since ol' Peter had a camera crew in tow. Charlie jumped to a conclusion which seems rock solid.
There's a hilarious moment when Peter realizes TMZ is shooting its shot, and he's totally flummoxed.
The smart bet's always been on Peter handing out roses for the upcoming season. Mike Johnson was also a front-runner with Tyler Cameron in a distant 3rd.
Tyler can't be too upset, with the likes of Gigi Hadid as a consolation prize.
Delta pilot Peter is almost certainly the man ... best known to Bachelor Nation as the guy who banged 'Bachelorette' Hannah B not once ... NOT twice ... not THREE ... but a whopping FOUR TIMES in a windmill during a fantasy suite date near the end of Hannah's season.
It's never official until it's official. You'll recall what happened to Caila Quinn ... who also was being filmed in 2016 to be "The Bachelorette" but ultimately producers picked JoJo Fletcher. Still, the tea leaves aren't hard to read in this one.
Fun fact ... Peter's parents met when his dad was a pilot and his mom was a flight attendant.

Tyler Cameron will keep this brief ... he's not sweating whether or not he's the next 'Bachelor' because he's busy doing what real models do -- modeling underwear.
Tyler C's rocking boxer briefs for Mack Weldon and his campaign just launched. The pics are sizzling hot, with Tyler showing off his toned bod and rock-hard abs in a pair of black briefs!!!
Our sources tell us the pics were shot just BEFORE he started shooting this past season of "The Bachelorette" ... and that timeline is super interesting.
As we first reported ... Tyler C is the third choice to become the next 'Bachelor' -- despite becoming a fan favorite as a finalist with Hannah B. We've been told part of the reason he's not a front-runner is his preference for modeling and other interests.
Clearly, Tyler had modeling on the brain before 'Bach' nation fell hard for him ... so it makes sense for him to be a distant third behind top contenders, Mike Johnson and Peter Weber. One well-placed source told us sincerity is very important in choosing the show's leading man.
While Tyler probably won't be the next 'Bachelor' ... he won't starve. Something tells us the underwear world will be lining up for his services.

Mike Fleiss Claims Estranged Wife Violating Settlement ... She Say he Called her '$50,000 Whore'

3:47 PM PT -- We just obtained Kaeppeler's response, filed by attorney Samantha Spector. The docs claim Mike has "chipped away at Laura's self-esteem, telling her that she was fat and lazy and calling her names like 'a low rent gold-digger' and a '$50,000 whore.'" She also says he told her she's going to end up "fat and single in Kenosha, Wisconsin." She says he vapes throughout the day and becomes unpredictable. The docs say Laura has followed the settlement agreement and she has participated in 3 telephone sessions with Dr. Katz. She says Fleiss is a bully who does not want to work with Dr. Katz.
'Bachelor' creator Mike Fleiss THOUGHT he settled his divorce case with wife Laura Kaeppeler, but turns out it's still raging, because Mike paid her $10 mil, she took the kid out of state and she's not communicating with him.
TMZ broke the story ... Mike and Laura settled their divorce case late last month ... he agreed to pay her $10 million, they agreed to 50/50 joint legal and physical custody of their 4-year-old son, Ben, and she agreed to drop her domestic violence restraining request against him.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Mike paid her the cash, and on August 4 she left for Hawaii and went radio silent. He has tried to communicate with her, to no avail. He has not been able to see or speak with Ben since she left.
According to the agreement, Laura is allowed to live in Hawaii, but she has certain obligations. She's supposed to meet with renowned psychologist Stan Katz to figure out effective co-parenting, but according to the legal docs she has not set up an appointment to meet with him.
Fleiss planned to fly to Hawaii August 13, which is when he's entitled to get Ben for custodial time, but he's now in the dark because she won't communicate with him.
Fleiss' lawyer, disso queen Laura Wasser, has filed papers to get some action from the judge, but the hearing was set for late September. We're told they're hopeful they can work things out with Kaeppeler -- especially a co-parenting plan -- but it seems that may not happen easily.
Sources close to Kaeppeler say Fleiss went to court for an emergency order Monday but the judge denied it because it was not an emergency ... in part because the child lives in Hawaii. The sources say they're already working with Stan Katz.

Zayn Malik Lists $10M Bachelor Pad Penthouse ... So Long, SoHo (& Gigi)!!!

Zayn Malik's ex, Gigi Hadid, appears to have moved on from their relationship -- now, it looks like her former beau has too ... 'cause he's moving on out of the neighborhood.
The One Direction star listed his SoHo penthouse -- which is a stone's throw away from Gigi's NoHo apartment -- just over a year after purchasing it for north of $10 million. Zayn snapped it up in March of 2018 shortly after he and Gigi temporarily broke up ... now, he's put it on the market again a few months following what seems like a permanent split.
The on-again, off-again couple reportedly called it quits for good in January of this year.
Zayn bought the place above its listing price of $10.5 mil, shelling out $10.69 big ones. He's currently selling it for $10.8 million -- trying to recoup some of that cash, apparently.
If you got $10 million or so lying around, it might be a good buy. The penthouse has 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 932 square feet of a private roof terrace space. It also features heated floors, 12 foot vaulted ceilings and sprawling floor plan.
Zayn doesn't really have much reason to live near Gigi anymore -- she's got her hands full with 'Bachelorette' hunk Tyler C -- so he's searching for buyers. Step right up!!!

'Bachelorette' Star Tyler C Hangin' with Gigi Hadid in NYC ... After Sleepover at Hannah's
'Bachelorette' fave Tyler C appears to be a leap frog in the love department -- bouncing from coast to coast to hang with Hannah B, and then Gigi Hadid 2 days later. Atta boy?
This season's heartthrob hunk -- the de facto winner since Hannah dumped Jed in last week's finale -- was spotted out Sunday night in NYC with the elder Hadid sister for what eyewitnesses described as a date.
They were both inside the Dumbo House bar in Brooklyn, and while they each exited separately ... we're told they got into the same waiting SUV.
A photo was taken of them inside the restaurant. No clear signs of PDA or anything, but the fact they're even hanging out is interesting ... for a number of reasons.
First off, Gigi and Tyler made headlines last month while the show was in full swing because they'd followed each other on social media. In case you didn't know, Tyler's a professional model -- and, of course, so is Gigi. Maybe they're just colleagues swapping runway tips?
You'll recall ... Tyler was spotted leaving Hannah's place in L.A. early Friday morning. After Monday's season finale, they picked things up again with another date, so Tyler and Hannah aren't engaged or anything. Presumably, they're dating ... or just banging.
The real question ... is it a big deal if Tyler's seeing other people? The show ended on an ambiguous note regarding HB and TC's relationship status.
Fact is, there's no ring. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
