Lawsuit

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

Paula Abdul’s sexual harassment lawsuit against her former coworker and friend, Nigel Lythgoe is making headlines as the two engage in back and forth of he said /she saids. Here’s what we know: The two had a major falling out prior to Paula filing her lawsuit and behind closed doors a settlement conference is already in the works. Our source says this will never go to trial and that it will likely be gone from the news cycle by the summer, since neither wants their dirty laundry aired in public. From what we hear, both sides have enough dirty laundry to open a dry cleaners!

Ben Affleck and his ex-wife Jennifer Garner were spotted together at Disneyland without their current significant others to celebrate their son Samuel’s birthday, and it raised a few eyebrows. Here’s the scoop: Ben and  wife Jennifer Lopez and Garner and her main squeeze, John Miller, celebrated Samuel’s birthday TOGETHER with dinner and cake at Garner’s house after the Disney outing. Our source says all four adults have developed a friendship and there’s no hard feelings between Affleck and Garner. Ben is pals with John and the two Jennifers have developed a bond. This is co-parenting at its finest.

Nikki Haley suspended her presidential campaign the day after Super Tuesday, but what she did NOT do is endorse her fellow Republican Donald Trump. Here’s why: Nikki deplores Trump’s misogynistic ways and while she’s a fan of most of his policies, she finds him repulsive as a human being (and we use that term loosely). Here’s some inside scoop: Before Nikki caves to pressure and endorses Trump she has a top secret call scheduled with President Joe Biden. Our source says that Biden is prepared to offer Nikki a role in his cabinet, or her former UN position, if she endorses him instead!

ANDY COHEN IS TAKING A TIMELY BREAK

Remember where you read this, as it could happen any second. Look for Andy Cohen to take a pause from his Bravo duties in the wake of recent accusations of cocaine use and a lawsuit by former RHONY cast member, Leah McSweeney. Our Bravo source reveals that behind the scenes executives are strategizing to give Andy a timeout until the scandal leaves the headlines. Nothing has been finalized yet, but the plan is for Andy to claim he has a personal issue to attend to and have guest stars take over Watch What Happens Live until the dust settles on his recent scandals.

BIJOU PHILLIPS IS STILL STANDING BY HER MAN!

Like you, we were SHOCKED to hear that Bijou Phillips suddenly filed for divorce from her convicted rapist husband, Danny Masterson! Here’s what happened: Days ago, we told you that she was standing by her man and planned to prove it by taking his last name. Lawyers and Danny immediately advised her to file for divorce instead. Bijou still loves her husband, but agreed to file for divorce BECAUSE Danny is facing millions of dollars in civil lawsuits now that he’s convicted of rape. Filing for divorce will protect their sprawling Santa Ynez ranch in Santa Barbara county. The consensus was that the only way Bijou can shield herself and their young daughter from financial ruin was to file. Long story short, it doesn’t mean she’s not gonna stand by him, it just means she’s gonna do it while divorced!

LIZZO’S BODY-POSITIVE (?) FASHION

We really want to LIKE Lizzo, but it turns out that what she SAYS and what she DOES are quite different. Lizzo bragged that she “loves herself just the way she is” and seems to be very supportive of other “big girls.” She has always emphasized her inclusivity, acceptance, and body-positive attitude. This lawsuit charging her with mistreating three of her dancers paints her as a narcissistic bully. And half a dozen other co-workers have also made allegations against her. No apologies- Lizzo denies everything. This website has always teased Lizzo for her highly questionable fashion choices. She goes to expensive places like Craig’s restaurant wearing embarrassing skimpy outfits. She gets LOADS of attention – not all good. Maybe she shouldn’t love herself QUITE so much…

BRAVE LEAH REMINI SOCKS IT TO SCIENTOLOGY

We are absolutely DELIGHTED to hear that Leah Remini is continuing her campaign of EXPOSING the truth about the church of Scientology with a 60 page lawsuit! This untaxed and corrupt “church” really has it coming. In the lawsuit, Leah points out that they have harassed and intimidated her and people around her and explains how they have caused her to lose business opportunities. I had a similar experience years ago when I revealed in Star Magazine that Tom Cruise was a Scientologist. I didn’t realize what a HUGE scoop it was. After that, fake lawyers started calling me to find out my source for the story. The phone company called and told me people “from several states” had tried to get a copy of my phone bill and warned me that they probably would succeed. They eventually DID. My source was a former Scientologist and when they got her name from my phone bill, they tormented her and made sure her family members who were still Scientologists never saw her again! When the truth about Scientology is finally revealed, Tom Cruise’s career will never be the same…

RON DESANTIS: DON’T MESS WITH DISNEY

This comes from a Disney insider, and although it’s more business gossip than celebrity gossip, we feel compelled to share it. Now that Disney is suing Florida governor and likely presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, the entertainment conglomerate has a drastic plan if they don’t prevail: they’re closing Disney World and cutting all ties with Florida! The insider explained that the “nuclear option” is already being discussed behind very closed doors at corporate headquarters in Burbank, and feelers are already being put out to land developers to appraise the 25,000 acres owned by the amusement park. Keep in mind, OTHER states would be THRILLED to welcome Disney. While my insider stresses it’s a long shot, they also insist that if DeSantis doesn’t back down they are prepared to call it a day. This would likely destroy Florida’s economy since Disney is the state’s largest employer and bring in billions of tourism dollars.

JEREMY RENNER: WAS IT THE SNOWPLOW’S FAULT?

After nearly getting crushed to death and breaking 30 bones in that snowplow accident on January 1, Jeremy Renner is focused on the long recovery ahead of him, and of course he’s exploring his legal options. Jeremy is no stranger to litigation – his divorce from ex-wife Sonni Pacheco was anything but “conscious uncoupling” with his and hers lawsuits. When he’s not having surgery or therapy, Jeremy is consulting experts to confirm if his snowplow had a mechanical malfunction- such as a nonworking brake light. A friend says he hasn’t made any decisions on a lawsuit, but he’s hinted he could lose hundreds of millions of dollars in income if his recovery keeps him out of work for as long as expected.

KEVIN SPACEY THOUGHT HE COULD DO NO WRONG

Hollywood has a solid history of tolerating workplace sexual harassment and enabling important predators, so any change for the better is delightful. As star and executive Producer, Kevin Spacey no doubt figured he could get away with that behavior on the House of Cards set because none of the young male crew members he preyed upon wanted to go on the record -for fear of being blackballed. Finally, ONE brave guy talked and the resulting investigation got Spacey fired and taken to court by the MRC entertainment company. Spacey was sued for revenue lost after he left the show and attorney fees, and he just LOST and the judge says he has to pay almost 31 million dollars to MRC! Hopefully this will motivate egotistical actors and executives to control themselves…

AMBER HEARD ISN’T THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT JOHNNY DEPP

Johnny Depp has been wallowing in undeserved admiration from his fans ever since he won his libel suit against Amber Heard. His happy lawyers no doubt advised him to quickly settle a lawsuit filed against him by a crew member on the film City of Lies, before the lurid details could become public and spoil his positive aura. Fact is, Johnny was obnoxious while filming the movie – he was irresponsibly drinking and using drugs and treated co-workers horribly by keeping people waiting for HOURS or not bothering to show up at all. His ego got the best of him and he beat up a crew member who rubbed him the wrong way. It was too late to replace Depp and everyone had to power through the awful shoot, vowing not to work with Depp again. Producers pressured the crew guy to sign an agreement that he would not press charges against their leading man. He refused and they FIRED him! So naturally he did file a lawsuit, and now he’s enjoying the hefty settlement that he certainly earned.

KESHA – A SURVIVOR AFTER YEARS IN A LEGAL BATTLE

We almost didn’t recognize Kesha when she appeared on The Today Show this morning. Gone is the tangled blonde hair and the glittery face makeup- not to mention the outrageous fashion. She looks dead serious. Is this what working with Sony music producer Dr Luke did to her? Since 2014, she has been in endless courtroom battles with him – she couldn’t get out of her contract (signed when she was 18) after claiming he abused her. He has sued her for defamation, her mother, and her lawyer (even a fan of hers) multiples times and she countersued – and mostly lost. Does she have any money left? Hopefully she can pull her life and career back together.
