Kelli Ferrell was a new addition to "The Real Housewives Of Atlanta" last season, but she's already making waves ... her ex is suing Bravo for claims made about him on the show.

In court documents, obtained by TMZ, Chuvalo Mark Ferrell claims Kelli spread lies on the show in a fabricated storyline on the show that he abused Kelli and didn't pay back money.

He says he and Kelli jointly applied for a $420K loan back in 2022 to build out a restaurant called Nana's Chicken-n-Waffles. He says Kelli spent a bunch of the loan money on her birthday and other unauthorized expenses and then fabricated a story that Chuvalo stole the money from her. He says he repaid the loan, but she's still pressing forward with the false claim he stole the $420K.

1:00 PM PT -- Bhad Bhabie posted a response to her father on Instagram... captioning a post, "I paid 25k actually to terminate my FATHER [s] parental rights years ago. I tried to refix are [our] relationship but it didn’t work. The only reason I gave him another chance was because LV suggested I have my father in my life."

The post has screenshots of an alleged email from his attorney agreeing to accept a sum of $25k to resolve all the "outstanding issues" and to terminate his parental rights.

Bhad Bhabie's dad Ira Peskowitz says her new song "Honest" is anything but ... in a new interview with TMZ.

In the song, BB suggests her dad didn't want her in his life ... and only wanted to get in touch after she became famous, rapping, "I hope he wastes away. What kind of father sacrifices a relationship for 20K."

Ira clapped back, saying, "Every one of those statements is a complete lie. I didn't sell her for $20,000. I was trying to be part of her life way before 'Dr. Phil' and right before she went on 'Dr. Phil.' I have documentation to show that I tried to get her into a program to try to help her out."

Alfonso Ribeiro was back doing what he does best -- putting smiles on faces -- and this time, it wasn’t the Carlton dance, it was his vocal pipes stealing the show.

TMZ snagged the fun clip ... the 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' star hit up L.A.’s Lakeside Country Club on Saturday -- and had the whole place vibin', belting out Bruno Mars & Mark Ronson’s "Uptown Funk."

Everyone was groovin’ as Alfonso nailed the upbeat jam ... commanding the mic stand, grooving hard, and letting the band ride his rhythm all the way through.

Suzanne Somers’ husband Alan Hamel isn’t just keeping her memory alive ... he’s taking it next-level -- turning to A.I. to build a clone of her -- and he swears it’s exactly what Suzanne wanted.

Alan says this isn’t some spur-of-the-moment idea -- he and Suzanne had been talking it over for years, and now he’s knee-deep in what he calls the 'Suzanne A.I. Twin Project' … and he even gave folks a sneak peek with a demo at a conference earlier this year.

Alan told PEOPLE he knew Suzanne better than anyone after 55 years together... so when it came to recreating her, he nailed it -- saying if you put the A.I. twin next to the real Suzanne, you’d barely know the difference.

The A.I. clone was fed all 27 of Suzanne’s books she wrote, plus hundreds of her interviews to perfect her look and voice ... and when Alan tossed a few questions its way at the demo, "Suzanne" answered right back ... leaving him, and everyone watching, totally blown away.

Alan says this isn’t just him hopping on the A.I. bandwagon -- he and Suzanne had been talking about the idea since the 1980s. And according to him, the whole family’s on board with it ... especially with keeping her memory alive following her October 2023 death from cancer.

Motown pioneer Smokey Robinson says there's a not-so "Quiet Storm" blowing through our lives with the emergence of A.I. ... and he suggests artists do what they can to protect themselves.

The soul and R&B legend told us at LAX Monday he thinks A.I. is "probably one of the most dangerous things that's ever happened."

According to Smokey, the only thing you can do to fight people using A.I. against you is try to own your image and likeness -- something he's already done.

10/21 -- 6:33 AM PT -- The White House Communications Office is saying our story is not true. We stand by our story. Our story is accurate.

Donald Trump is considering commuting Diddy's sentence as early as this week, according to a high-ranking White House official.

According to our source, the President is "vacillating" on a commutation. We're told some of the W.H. staff are urging Trump not to commute the sentence. But, our source states the obvious -- "Trump will do what he wants," and we're told Trump could set Diddy free as early as this week.

Diddy is serving a 50-month prison sentence for violating the Mann Act. He's served 13 months, and with credit, he could get out in around 2 years -- but none of that matters if Trump commutes his sentence.

Singer-songwriter Kevin McCall came to grips over the fact his Chris Brown credits no longer reap the financial rewards ... and broke down crying on a podcast!!!

The R&B vet was discussing his up-and-down career on the "Back On Figg" podcast when the 40-year-old revealed he's on food stamps -- and whipped out the EBT card to prove it.

Chris Brown is currently on his "Breezy Bowl XX" tour -- even performing songs like "Strip" that Kevin cowrote -- and Kev claimed there's still a lingering $25K he was owed for 4 songs.

It's her birthday and she can buy if she wants to! Kim Kardashian is turning into a regular real estate tycoon ... she just bought the home next door to hers.

TMZ has learned ... Kim closed on the SoCal home for $7,000,000 and will be expanding her already spacious property in a beautiful neighborhood near Los Angeles.

Her current house is undergoing a big renovation, so this marks just the latest real estate change for the reality star ... who celebrates her 45th birthday today.

Finesse2tymes is once again in trouble with the law ... TMZ Hip Hop can confirm.

Shaquille O'Neal is stoked to hear about Allen Iverson's decision to quit drinking ... telling TMZ Sports he's "proud" of the NBA legend's new lifestyle.

We caught up with Shaq at the premiere of the new "Allen Iv3rson" Prime Video documentary in NYC on Monday ... and he raved about not only A.I. the player -- but the man off the court as well.

Shaq -- who was an executive producer alongside Stephen Curry -- explained why being involved in the project was so important to him ... saying Iverson deserved to have his story told from his point of view.

Bad Bunny might be the most controversial Super Bowl Halftime Show artist ever ... but Shakira doesn't quite see what all the backlash is about.

Shakira said she's proud of BB ... not only for representing Latin culture, but also for how universal Spanish-language music has become.

Finally, our long national nightmare is over ... Kristin Cavallari and Lauren Conrad are on good terms after the "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County" reunion ... an experience Kristin dished about on her podcast.

Kristin announced, "Lauren and I are friends," on Tuesday's episode of "Let's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari."

This comes after their famous feud over a boy in the early 2000s. The two were caught up in a love triangle with costar Stephen Colletti, which boiled over when Lauren called Kristin a "slut" ... something she's since expressed regret about.

8:07 AM PT -- A Delta spokesperson tells TMZ ... “We’re looking into the authenticity of this video. We will address the matter internally if it is confirmed. Civil conduct at all times is expected by those who represent our brand.”

Things have gotten so bad in the airline industry, employees from rival companies are now warring in public when planes aren't falling from the sky.

Dominique Dunne's star was on the rise -- fresh off the "Poltergeist" movie spotlight -- when tragedy struck ... she was strangled to death by her jilted ex, a chilling Hollywood story that still stuns.

"TMZ Presents: Killing a Movie Star: Grave Injustice" dives into the 1982 murder of Dominique at the hands of her ex, John Sweeney ... and how, after a shocking miscarriage of justice, he went on to terrorize again -- and it's now available to watch on YouTube.

The grave injustice points to Sweeney’s shockingly light sentence -- he was convicted of manslaughter and walked free after just two and a half years in prison ... despite massive public outcry and protests over the verdict.

In the primetime special, we also sit down with Dominique’s brother, Griffin Dunne ... and we confirm his lingering suspicion that Sweeney went on to abuse again -- including a 2000 case when a woman filed a restraining order against him, detailing shocking brutality.
