Caitlyn Jenner seemed to plead for Elon Musk's legal backing to fight Disney after being dropped from "The Kardashians" -- but she's not actually pursuing it ... TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us Caitlyn has zero plans to sue the Mouse House and was simply shining a light on her experience with the studio by commenting under the EM's original post ... where he explicitly said he would provide legal support (namely, funding) to those who felt they'd been discriminated against by Disney or its subsidiaries.
Hulu (Disney subsidiary) never put me on my family’s show - I had been on since day 1- when it switched from E!
— Caitlyn Jenner (@Caitlyn_Jenner) February 7, 2024 @Caitlyn_Jenner
Caitlyn's comment under Elon's post read ... "Hulu (Disney subsidiary) never put me on my family's show - I had been on since day 1- when it switched from E!" On its face, it certainly sounded like she was serious ... especially since Elon seemed to be seriously baiting.
Now, while our sources tell us CJ has no plans to take Elon up on his offer to sue right now, if any bombshell information surfaces from the Kardashians' reality show on Hulu that pushes the envelope against Caitlyn ... we're told she would possibly revisit the idea.
You'll recall ... Caitlyn starred in almost all 20 seasons of E! 's "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" alongside her ex-wife Kris Jenner, her stepkids Kourtney, Kim, and Khloé, and biological daughters Kendall and Kylie. Caitlyn never appeared in the revamped series though, "The Kardashians," when it moved over to Hulu in 2022.
Last month, CJ expressed similar frustration over the Disney non-invite when replying to an X post from political consultant Richard Grenell, who blasted the network for its "partisan" stance.
The reality star commented at the time ... "I wonder if that's why they fired me from my family's reality show when it switched over to Hulu (@Disney), from E!. I must not be woke enough."
. @Disney is allowing @GStephanopoulos to be a fake journalist on their network.
— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) January 7, 2024 @RichardGrenell
Disney is partisan.
Act accordingly.
Cailyn added -- "Too bad… I remember when Bob Iger was a young, hard working, valet, carrying my bags, for me right after I won the Olympics."
ICYMI ... Elon is funding former "Mandalorian" actress Gina Carano's lawsuit ... where she claims Disney+ and LucasFilm wrongfully terminated her from her job after she posted her political views on social media.
That's why this Caitlyn convo is even happening -- because Elon is legitimately putting his money where his mouth is on this issue against Disney.
Back to Caitlyn ... things may not have worked out with "The Kardashians" -- but she's gone from reality TV to FOX, working for the network as a Fox News contributor, which she's really enjoying.
So, she's got that going for her ... and there's no future court date against Disney, at least not right now.

Kardashians, Gisele Bündchen Not 'Snubbed' by British Vogue ... Despite Missing Farewell

Exclusive

British Vogue editor Edward Enninful put 40 models on his final cover, and while there's no KarJenner or Gisele Bündchen featured ... it's not some big snub, as some have speculated.
Here's the deal ... Edward is stepping down at British Vogue after 40 years as magazine editor, and the March issue is a farewell of sorts ... with 40 fashion icons joining forces for a photo shoot. It's a big deal -- he's been heading up British Vogue for years now.
The cover page just dropped and folks on social media seem shocked at the lack of Kardashians and Jenners ... there's no Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kris, Kylie or Kendall -- and while some were gleefully rejoicing, many were genuinely curious about their absence.
Ditto for Gisele -- people were scratching their heads over her not being among the 40 models ... especially considering how she's the highest-paid supermodel of all time.
So the obvious question ... what gives? And more importantly ... is this a snub/slight????
TMZ did some digging and as it turns out, none of the Kardashians or Jenners have ever appeared on the cover of British Vogue ... hence them not being among the "Vogue icons" in this sweet farewell to Ed.
Ya can't really be snubbed from something if you were never involved in the first place -- so that answers that. Yes, the KarJenners have graced multiple Vogue covers over the years -- from many different counties -- but none have ever been on British Vogue specifically.
Of course, Gisele is the more glaring hole ... you see, she's huge in the modeling world, period, and appeared in the 2022 edition of British Vogue. So she does have history.
Anya Taylor-Joy, Jodie Comer, Gemma Chan, Simone Ashley, Cynthia Erivo, Cara Delevingne, Dua Lipa and Jane Fonda are among the 40 stars that came together to cover Edward Enninful’s final edition of British Vogue. pic.twitter.com/ARWduA4d6d

We have an answer for that as well -- sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Gisele was actually invited to take part in this photoshoot, but she wasn't available on the day the shoot happened. In other words ... no snub for Gisele either -- just scheduling conflicts.
Pitchforks down, folks ... all things have explanations, and not everything is drama.
Tell that to those in the comments ... 'cause they're the ones who seem to need to hear it!

Monica Going On Tour With Nicki Minaj ... She Didn't Forget a Sista!!!
Monica will be hitting the pastel road with Nicki Minaj this year for her "Pink Friday 2" tour ... a dream fulfilled for not only Monica, but also the "Big Foot" rapper.
Nicki told Monica her music meant everything to her while she was growing up, so it's a true case of paying it forward.
Jennifer Hudson got the scoop on Monica's tour plans Thursday on her talk show -- they'll be kicking off their musical trek on March 1, and the R&B vet expressed her gratitude to Nicki for the look.
Monica says many people talk a big game about inspiration but go ghost when time comes to show love, but not Nicki, and they're going to give the fans a show for the ages!!!
The tour will hit several big cities NYC, Denver, Seattle, ATL, New Orleans, Columbus -- and even has a dual date with this year's Rolling Loud CA for the Los Angeles leg.
Monica gave her Houston fans a scare on New Year's Day when she appeared to faint mid-show, but judging from her excitement with J. Hud ... she'll be ready to party with the Barbz next month.

La Roca Hey, llorones de Cody... ¡¡¡Callénse la boca!!!
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson se metió de lleno en su personaje para destruir a cualquiera que odie la nueva narrativa con Roman Reigns, y de paso, llamando a todos los "llorones" de Cody Rhodes a que "¡¡¡callen sus putos traseros!!!"
Tras su polémico regreso en SmackDown la semana pasada, la leyenda de la WWE se unió a "The Pat McAfee Show" para abordar su decisión de volver al ring, así como las críticas que ha recibido por aparentemente robarle el sitial a American Nightmare.
Como informamos anteriormente, un montón de fans de la lucha libre han expresado su molestia con la idea que La Roca reemplace a Cody en un combate contra Reigns en WrestleMania.
La Roca dejó claro que nada está escrito en piedra, y aunque tiene un gran respeto por Rhodes, su familia y sus fans, se siente diametralmente diferente sobre a los odiosos fans de Cody, a quienes califica de "llorones de Cody".
El actor se burló de los fans que están detrás de la campaña #WeWantCody y que están volviéndose locos ante la posibilidad que se estropeen los planes de Rhodes con Reigns, y es legítimo y bastante clásico.
"La Roca dice esto", dijo Johnson en el programa. "Todo lo que tienes que hacer es sentarte, conocer tu rol, cerrar la boca y disfrutar del paseo al que te llevará La Roca. Así que hagan hashtag esto, hashtag aquello, ¡cállense la puta boca!, hashtag llorones de Cody.

Como informamos anteriormente, los fans de Cody le mostraron una tonelada de amor en "Raw" a principios de esta semana, y él acaba de revelar que ya tomó la decisión sobre qué hacer con su combate en WrestleMania.
Rock atribuye todo a la vieja escuela de la WWE, y hombre, está de vuelta.
The Rock Hey 'Cody Crybabies' ... 'Shut Your Bitch Asses Up!!!'
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson got in full character to destroy anyone hating his new storyline with Roman Reigns ... calling on all the "crybaby" Cody Rhodes fans to "shut your bitch asses up!!"
Fresh off his controversial return on SmackDown last week, the WWE legend joined "The Pat McAfee Show" to address his decision to get back in the squared-circle ... as well as the criticism he's gotten for seemingly stealing the American Nightmare's thunder.
As we previously reported, a TON of wrestling fans are super pissed ... with the belief being Rock is boxing out Cody from a hyped-up match with Reigns at WrestleMania.
Rock made it clear nothing is set in stone in regard to the three moving pieces ... and while he has great respect for Rhodes, his family and his fans -- he feels the exact opposite about the annoying backers he refers to as "Cody crybabies."
The actor mocked the "grown ass men" behind the #WeWantCody campaign who are losing their minds over Rhodes' potentially spoiled plans with Reigns ... and it is legitimately classic stuff.
"The Rock says this," Johnson said on the show. "All you gotta do is sit back, know your role, shut your mouth and enjoy the ride that the Rock is gonna take your candy asses on. So hashtag that, hashtag shut your bitch asses up, hashtag Cody crybabies."

Tish Cyrus Presioné a Billy para hacer "Hannah Montana" Para mantener la familia unida!!!
Tish Cyrus está contando que animó a su ex, Billy Ray Cyrus, a protagonizar "Hannah Montana" porque pensó que los uniría como familia, una esperanza que ahora sabemos no resultó en el largo plazo.
La mujer de 56 años reflexionó sobre cómo la serie de Disney Channel impactó a su familia en un nuevo episodio de "Call Her Daddy", diciendo que vio el espectáculo como un doble golpe. Primero, fue una oportunidad para impulsar la carrera de Billy, que había sido golpeada tras su éxito de 1992 "Achy Breaky Heart", y también para unirlos como familia.
Tish explicó que una bombilla se encendió en su cabeza cuando los directores del casting de "Hannah" bromearon que "no podían costear" el tener a Billy en el show durante la audición de Miley, lo que la llevó a saltar y decirles que la idea no era demasiado descabellada.
Luego se dirigió a su ex marido y lo instó a audicionar, y aunque sabía que significaría un recorte de sueldo para él, también implicaría que su familia estaría junta de nuevo.
Por aquel entonces, toda la familia Cyrus, incluidos sus 5 hijos, vivía en Toronto, donde Billy estaba rodando otra serie y Tish estaba estresada por la idea de tener que viajar constantemente entre Canadá y Los Ángeles por el nuevo rol protagónico de Miley, así que era una oportunidad de oro que Billy pudiera participar en la serie.
La reflexión de Tish sobre "Hannah Montana" claramente parece estar más en la escala de "lo que podría haber sido", pero Billy Ray lo recuerda de manera muy diferente, diciendo a GQ en 2011 que el espectáculo "destruyó su familia."
Tish se separó legalmente de Billy en 2022 y se casó con Dominic Purcell en agosto de 2023. Al parecer, este nuevo matrimonio es una fuente de controversia importante entre Miles y su padre.
TISH CYRUS 'I PUSHED BILLY TO DO 'HANNAH MONTANA' To Keep Family Together!!!
Tish Cyrus says she encouraged her ex, Billy Ray Cyrus, to star in "Hannah Montana" 'cause she thought it would bring them together -- a hope we now know didn't pan out in the long run.
The 56-year-old reflected on how the Disney Channel series impacted their family on a new "Call Her Daddy" episode, saying she saw the show as a double whammy ... a chance to move Billy's career forward -- it had hit a wall after his 1992 hit "Achy Breaky Heart" -- and a chance to make them a strong family unit.
Tish explained that a lightbulb went off in her head when 'Hannah' casting directors joked they "couldn't afford" Billy for the show during Miley's audition ... prompting her to jump in and tell them the idea wasn't too far-fetched.
She then turned to Billy, urging him to audition, and while she knew it would be a pay cut for him, it meant their family would be together again.
At that time, the whole Cyrus family, including their 5 children, had been living in Toronto, where Billy was filming another show -- and Tish was stressing over the thought of constantly traveling back and forth between Canada and L.A. for Miley's new starring role -- so getting Billy on the series was a golden opportunity.
Tish's reflection on "Hannah Montana" clearly appears to be more on the "what could have been" scale, but Billy Ray remembers it much differently ... telling GQ in 2011, the show "destroyed my family."
Tish legally parted ways from Billy in 2022, and married Dominic Purcell in August 2023 -- and that new marriage is reportedly a source of major contention between Miles and her dad.

Beyoncé Su figura de cera es pisoteada por los fans
Beyoncé reina sobre su Beyhive, pero una nueva figura de cera tiene a las redes pensando en Queens, Nueva York, en lugar de la sensación del pop internacional.
Esto es la cuestión: Madame Tussauds Blackpool, en el Reino Unido, inauguró una estatua de un par de cantautoras el miércoles: Beyoncé y Lady Gaga. Mientra la recreación de Gaga recibió pocas reacciones, la de Beyoncé tiene a los fans mirando dos veces.
El consenso general es que la estatua de tamaño natural de Bey se parece menos a la 32 veces ganadora del Grammy y más a la actriz Leah Remini.
Echa un vistazo, la estatua lleva un clásico traje de Bey, también capturaron su pelo bastante bien, pero la cara parece compartir algunos rasgos con Leah, y la gente en las redes sociales quedó confundida al darse cuenta de que no era una imitación de Leah.
Para su información, cosas como estas suceden con frecuencia con Madame Tussauds, como por ejemplo, la estatua de Dwayne Johnson que fue comparada con la figura de Vin Diesel o el caso de Lil Wayne, quien criticó su propio parecido con la recreación.
Básicamente, parece muy difícil trabajar con cera y aún más difícil apaciguar a las hordas de fans, así que a veces una reina termina pareciéndose a la esposa de "The King of Queens".
¡No se sabe si Bey ha visto la estatua o si está en camino una de Jay-Z o Kevin James!
Beyoncé Queen Bey or 'King of Queens'??? Wax Figure Dragged By Fans
UPDATE
11:11 AM PT -- Leah Remini took to X to weigh in on the viral comparison saying, "I am screaming! And loving all the tweets! This perimenopausal woman will take any and all comparisons to the beautiful Beyoncé!"
I am screaming! And loving all the tweets!

This perimenopausal woman will take any and all comparisons to the beautiful Beyoncé! https://t.co/d8qVR90tcQ
Beyoncé reigns over her Beyhive ... but a new wax figure has social media thinking of Queens, New York, instead of the international pop sensation.
Here's the deal ... Madame Tussauds Blackpool, over in the UK, unveiled a statue of a pair of singer-songwriters Wednesday -- Beyoncé and Lady Gaga. While Gaga's recreation received little in the way of reaction, Beyoncé's had fans doing a double-take.
The general consensus ... Bey's life-size statue looks less like the 32-time Grammy winner and more like actress Leah Remini.
Check it out ... the statue's wearing a classic Bey outfit, and they captured her hair pretty well, but the face does seem to share some striking features with Leah -- and folks on social media were confused once they realized it's not supposed to be LR.
FWIW ... stuff like this happens semi-frequently with Madame Tussauds -- like Dwayne Johnson's statue racking up Vin Diesel comparisons or Lil Wayne blasting his own likeness.
Basically, it seems hella difficult to work with wax and even tougher to appease hordes of fans .... so, sometimes a Queen ends up looking like "The King of Queens" wife!
No word on whether Bey's seen the statue ... or if a Jay-Z/Kevin James wax mashup is on its way!

TMZ TV Recap Donna Kelce Plays Coy About SB Seats Kumail Goes to Therapy, Brock Purdy
We're almost at the finish line in the week, but we're just getting started at TMZ -- including on the TV front ... where the topics are only getting better by the day. Take a look!
TMZ Live
Right off the bat on 'TMZ Live,' Harvey and Charles tackled something Travis Kelce's mom said on the 'Today' show this week ... namely, that she didn't know where she'd be sitting at the Super Bowl come Sunday. That's what she claims anyway -- nobody's buying it.
Fact is, her son(s) are incredibly wealthy ... but there's a new billionaire in her orbit who probably has covered for a private suite seat -- despite what Mama Kelce's saying.
TMZ on TV
Over on the 'TMZ on TV' side of things ... we opened up about our feelings, but not nearly as much as Kumail Nanjiani -- who recently revealed what sent him to therapy recently.
As it turns out, some bad movie reviews for a film he was in did the trick ... and the staff wasn't all that nice about it. Tough crowd, indeed.
TMZ Sports
Finally, we get to 'TMZ Sports,' where Mike and Mojo discussed the fact that 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy bears a passing resemblance to the guy who killed JFK.

Chuck Lorre le pagará 5 millones de dólares a su ex Por el divorcio
-
Detalles Exclusivos
- 14 shares
El divorcio de Chuck Lorre finalmente ha llegado a su fin, y para alguien con un acuerdo prenupcial, seguro que se siente como que está pagando demasiado por un matrimonio que solo duró tres años y medio, pero todavía se queda con su mejor amigo de 4 patas.
El creador de "Two And a Half Men" recientemente finalizó su divorcio de Arielle Lorre después de la presentación para poner fin al matrimonio en 2022. De acuerdo con nuevos documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ, sabemos que Chuck va a terminar desembolsando una pequeña fortuna.
Chuck accedió a pagar hasta $5 millones en el acuerdo. Tuvo que pagar 1.000 dólares tan pronto la sentencia fue presentada (la semana pasada) y acordó pagar un extra de $4 mil en 30 días después de Arielle se mueve fuera de la cuna ... que ella dice que tenía la intención de hacer el 1 de febrero.
El lado positivo es que Chuck se aferra a su perro, Harvey, así que al menos tiene eso. Sin embargo, Arielle tiene "visitas" con el perro por lo que tiene que compartir.
Lo que es interesante es el hecho de que Chuck está teniendo que pagarle tanto a su ahora ex-esposa -la tercera en su vida hasta ahora- a pesar de que habían firmado un acuerdo prenupcial. De hecho, sabemos que tuvo que desembolsar dinero extra: fuentes con conocimiento directo nos dicen que los 5 millones de dólares que Chuck está pagando son en realidad más de lo que exigía el acuerdo prenupcial original.
Última nota interesante... hay una cláusula de no-disparagement en este acuerdo que se aplica a ambas partes.
Una vez más, estos dos estuvieron casados solo unos pocos años y, sin embargo, Chuck está desembolsando una gran cantidad. Ahora bien, aunque lo que ha aceptado pagar puede parecer mucho para el común de los mortales, el tipo está considerado el rey de las comedias de situación, con un montón de créditos en su haber.
No sólo tiene "TAAHM" en su haber... sino que ha creado otras series enormes como "The Big Bang Theory", "Dharma & Greg", "Young Sheldon" y muchas otras. En total, él vale cientos de millones de dólares ... así que para él esto es probablemente calderilla.
De todas formas, sabemos que el hombre tiene sus recursos y sus cartas bajo la manga, ¿no es así?
'Two And a Half Men' Creator Chuck Lorre Finalizes Divorce Paying Ex $5 Mil, Keeps Dog

Chuck Lorre's divorce has finally come to an end -- and for someone with a prenup, it sure feels like he's paying out the nose for a marriage that only lasted three and a half years ... but he still gets to keep his best 4-legged friend.
The "Two And a Half Men" creator recently finalized his divorce from Arielle Lorre after filing to end the marriage in 2022. According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ, we know know Chuck will end up shelling out a small fortune ... to the tune of 7 digits.
Per the paperwork, CL agreed to cough up $5 million in the settlement -- $1 mil was paid as soon as the judgment was entered (last week) and he agreed to pay an extra $4 mil 30 days after Arielle moves out of the crib ... which she says she intended to do on Feb. 1.
The upside ... Chuck gets to hold onto to pooch, Harvey, so at least he's got that. Arielle does get "liberal visitation" with the dog though -- so he's gotta share.
What's interesting is the fact that Chuck is having to shell out so much to his now-ex-wife -- the third in his life thus far -- even though things were all spelled out in an ironclad prenup. In fact, we know he coughed up extra dough -- sources with direct knowledge tell us the $5 mil Chuck's paying is actually more than the OG prenup required.
Last interesting note ... there's a non-disparagement clause in this settlement that applies to both parties -- so no trashing the other in books or other media once the dust settles.
Again, these 2 were only married a few years -- and yet, Chuck's biting the bullet, or so it seems. Now, while what he's agreed to pay might sound like a lot to your average Joe -- the dude's considered the King of Sitcoms, with a crap ton of show credits to his name.
Not only does he have 'TAAHM' under his belt ... but other huge shows he's created include "The Big Bang Theory," "Dharma & Greg" "Young Sheldon" and lots of others. All told he's worth hundreds of millions of dollars ... so to him, this is probably chump change.
Just hum that familiar jingle, and he probably collects a royalty check. Dude's doing just fine!

Arianne Zucker demanda a los productores de "Days Of Our Lives" Y denuncia acoso sexual

- 7 shares
Arianne Zucker -estrella de la exitosa serie "Days of Our Lives"- está demandando a la productora detrás de la legendaria telenovela... TMZ ha indagado.
De acuerdo con documentos judiciales obtenidos por TMZ, Arianne está demandando a Corday Production Inc, su productor ejecutivo Ken Corday, y al ex productor ejecutivo de la serie -Albert Alarr- alegando Albert la acosó sexualmente a ella y a otras empleadas.
Zucker dice que fue objeto de tocamientos sexuales no consentidos y comentarios de acoso sexual durante el empleo de Alarr, alegando que Alarr con frecuencia la jalaba cerca de su pecho y haciendo gemidos sexuales mientras lo hacía.
En otras ocasiones, Zucker dice Alarr hacía comentarios sexualmente sugerentes durante el rodaje, supuestamente diciéndole a sus compañeros de rodaje en las escenas de sexo con ella que le "encantaría cambiar de posición" con ellos, y Arianne dice que dejó claro que disfrutaba de las escenas de sexo agresivo.
Además de eso, Zucker dice que su comportamiento era bien conocido por otros productores, alegando que múltiples mujeres fueron a Corday Production Inc. a lo largo de los años, pero la compañía supuestamente no hizo nada.
Arianne dice que finalmente se puso en contacto con el coproductor de la serie -Sony- y se reunió con su departamento de recursos humanos. Ella dice que se reunió con el departamento varias veces entre marzo de 2023 y junio de 2023, durante el cual ella afirma que a Alarr se le permitió seguir trabajando en el show y que Zucker dice que la hizo sentir "violada e intimidada".
Alarr fue despedido en agosto en lo que Zucker afirma que fue un movimiento para "salvar la imagen" una vez que las acusaciones contra Alarr se hicieron públicas.
Luego, en octubre, Arianne dijo que su contrato se estaba acabando y ella trató de negociar con Corday Productions, cuando dice que le dio un "lo tomas o lo dejas". Ella dice que su antiguo contrato expiró el mes pasado, lo que según ella esencialmente equivalía a ser despedida de su trabajo.
Ella está demandando por acoso, discriminación, represalias, negligencia en la contratación y supervisión, y despido injustificado, entre otras reclamaciones. Ella está buscando daños y perjuicios no especificados.
Nos hemos puesto en contacto con Corday y Alarr, pero hasta ahora no hay respuesta.
Arianne Zucker Sues 'Days of Our Lives' Producers ... Alleges Sexual Harassment

UPDATE
4:32 PM PT -- Albert Alarr's attorney, Robert M. Barta tells TMZ ... “As Albert said when Ms. Zucker first leveled these outrageous claims through the press last year, her baseless allegations were examined in a detailed and entirely independent investigation that lasted for two months. Dozens of individuals cooperated and every claim was thoroughly looked into. At the end of that process, the decision was made that Albert should continue in his role as Co-Executive Producer of Days of Our Lives."
Barta adds, “As Ms. Zucker’s own lawsuit all but admits, at a time of industry-wide cutbacks, she was aggressively seeking a significant personal pay increase and additional influence on the show. Having failed in those attempts, she is now - again - trying to exploit vile stereotypes to denigrate and demean a Black man who was in a position of power."
4:32 PM PT -- He says they look forward to sharing the truth and "putting an end to her offensive claims once and for all."
2:38 PM PT -- A spokesperson for Corday Productions tells TMZ ... "The allegations in Ms. Zucker's lawsuit are without merit. Corday Productions offered to renew Ms. Zucker's contract including offering her a pay increase. Rejecting Ms. Zucker's counteroffer does not constitute retaliation."
They concluded, "Complaints about Mr. Alarr's on-set behavior were promptly investigated. Corday Productions fully cooperated with the impartial investigation and subsequently terminated Mr. Alarr."
Arianne Zucker -- star of the hit show "Days of Our Lives" -- is suing the production company behind the legendary soap opera ... TMZ has learned.
According to court documents obtained by TMZ ... Arianne is suing Corday Production Inc., its executive producer Ken Corday, and former executive producer of the show Albert Alarr claiming Albert sexually harassed her and other female employees on the show.
Zucker says she was subjected to nonconsensual sexual touching and sexually harassing comments during Alarr's employment -- claiming Alarr would frequently pull her close to his chest and make sexual moans while doing so.
At other times, Zucker says Alarr would make sexually suggestive remarks while filming, like allegedly telling her costars filming sex scenes with her that he would "love to switch positions" with them, and Arianne says he made it clear he enjoyed aggressive sex scenes.
On top of that, Zucker says his behavior was well-known to other producers ... claiming multiple women went to Corday Production Inc. over the years but the company allegedly did nothing.
Arianne says she ultimately contacted the co-producer of the show, Sony, and met with their HR department. She says she met with the department several times between March 2023 and June 2023 ... during which she claims Alarr was allowed to continue working on the show -- which Zucker says made her feel "violated and intimidated."
Alarr was later fired in August in what Zucker claims was a move to "save face" once allegations against Alarr went public.
Then in October, Arianne said her contract was running out and she attempted to negotiate with Corday Productions ... who she says gave her a "take it or leave it" offer and wouldn't negotiate in "good faith." She says her old contract expired last month, which she says essentially amounted to her being fired from her job.
She's suing for harassment, discrimination, retaliation, negligent hiring and supervision, and wrongful termination among other claims ... she's seeking unspecified damages.
We've reached out to Corday and Alarr ... so far no word back. Anahita Sedaghatfar represents Zucker.

SELENA'S FATHER SLAMS NEW DOC With KILLER YOLANDA ... 'She's Nothing But Lies!!'
-
Exclusive
- 1K shares
Selena Quintanilla's killer, Yolanda Saldívar, is telling her side of the story from behind bars in a new docuseries, but nearly 3 decades later ... it's still a slap in the face to the late icon's family.
Selena's dad, Abraham Quintanilla, is blasting Oxygen's "Selena & Yolanda: The Secrets Between Them" to TMZ ... making it clear he and the rest of Selena's family are not involved or supportive of the project in any way, shape, or form.
He tells us, in particular, he wants absolutely nothing to do with Yolanda herself ... cause everything she says is nothing but lies, and no one's gonna believe what she has to say anyway.
In fact, Abraham wonders what more she has to say that she hasn't already ... reiterating that everyone knows there's zero truth to anything that comes out of her mouth.
In the 2-part doc, Yolanda will chronicle her version of events leading up to killing Selena. She'll discuss her working and personal relationship with the singer, and even her family members get involved with never-seen-before docs and recordings that allude to there being more to the whole situation than meets the eye.
"I knew her secrets," Saldívar chillingly adds in the trailer. "And I think the people deserved to know the truth." The first part of the docuseries drops on February 17, and the second part the next day.
Saldívar fatally shot Selena in 1995 after the Tejano star learned Saldívar had been embezzling funds from her clothing boutique.
Yolanda is serving a life sentence, but she's eligible for parole on March 30, 2025.

La asesina de Selena Quintanilla -Yolanda Saldívar- está contando su versión de la historia desde detrás de las rejas en una nueva docuserie, pero casi tres décadas después sigue siendo una bofetada en la cara para la familia del icono fallecido.
El padre de Selena, Abraham Quintanilla, está criticando a "Selena & Yolanda: Los secretos entre ellos", comentándole a TMZ que él y el resto de la familia de Selena no están involucrados en el proyecto de ninguna manera.
Él nos dice que no quiere tener absolutamente nada que ver con la propia Yolanda, porque todo lo que dice no es más que mentiras, y nadie va a creer lo que tiene que decir de todos modos.
De hecho, Abraham se pregunta qué más tiene que decir que no haya dicho ya, reiterando que todo el mundo sabe que hay cero verdad en todo lo que sale de su boca.
En el documental de dos partes, Yolanda relatará su versión de los hechos que llevaron a matar a Selena. Hablará de su relación laboral y personal con la cantante, e incluso los miembros de su familia se involucran con documentos nunca antes vistos y grabaciones que aluden a que hay más en toda la situación de lo que parece.
"Conocía sus secretos", añade escalofriante Saldívar en el tráiler. "Y creo que la gente merecía saber la verdad". La primera parte de la docuserie se estrena el 17 de febrero y la segunda al día siguiente.
Saldívar le disparó mortalmente a Selena en 1995 después de que la estrella tejana se enterara de que Saldívar había estado malversando fondos de su boutique de ropa.
Yolanda cumple cadena perpetua, pero puede optar a la libertad condicional el 30 de marzo de 2025.
