Kanye West’s former fixer files a lawsuit, alleging he was hired to follow Bianca Censori and investigate the Kardashians during their tumultuous split.

Kanye West is being sued by a man who claims to have served as his former “Director of Intelligence,” alleging that the rapper instructed him to conduct investigations into his wife, Bianca Censori, as well as his former in-laws, the Kardashians.

According to newly filed court documents, the man, suing anonymously as John Doe, claims West failed to pay him for several pay periods and caused him emotional distress.

The lawsuit states that in December 2022, West initially hired the man as his campaign manager for a potential presidential run, but later shifted his role to become Yeezy’s “Director of Intelligence.”

The man claims the position required him to be responsible for handling Ye’s NDAs and other investigations … which included closer looks at the Kardashians and Bianca.

The man says he was tasked with hiring private investigators to “tail” Bianca, without her knowledge, whenever she traveled solo — including during visits with her family in Australia.

He also alleges he was tapped to look into the Kardashians’ “supposed various criminal links” … and says Ye believed his former in-laws participated in “sex trafficking.”

Doe alleges in May 2024, Ye began exhibiting erratic behavior, possibly as a result of his alleged nitrous oxide usage, after implanting titanium grills on his teeth. Also in the docs, around the same time, Doe says Ye began laying off employees involved in the leadership of the Yeezy brand.

Doe claims his working relationship came to a head with Kanye after he shared complaints from a Donda Academy staffer … who alleged children had been abused at the school and nothing was done to report the problem.

Doe says KW responded to the news by yelling and cursing at him, as well as threatening the man with “great bodily harm.”

Doe alleges Ye’s enforcers sent him threats in the aftermath of the confrontation, which he says triggered his PTSD from his time in the military.

The John Doe is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.

We’ve reached out to Kanye’s rep for comment … so far, no word back.

Elle King opens up about her evolving relationship with her father, Rob Schneider, sharing personal insights into their bond and past challenges.

Elle King’s relationship with her dad, Rob Schneider, has had its ups and downs, and now she’s spilling the tea on where they stand, especially after his recent public apology.

We caught up with Elle in NYC on Wednesday, and she was super clear — she accepted her dad’s apology ages ago and is all about moving forward from their family drama.

Pregnant Elle, already a proud mom to son Lucky, also emphasized that her main focus right now is on motherhood and just soaking up all the happiness that comes with it.

Check out the video to see Elle totally embracing her pregnancy glow — and also sharing with us some of her “weird” cravings!

But, circling back to her dad, Rob dropped a public apology back in August after Elle called him out for being a bad dad, admitting he wasn’t the father she needed while growing up.

Their relationship has been a bit of a rollercoaster, but it seems like they’re finally putting the toxicity behind them.

Travis Kelce’s ex, Kayla Nicole, reveals she’s facing backlash and hate from Taylor Swift’s fans amid Kelce and Swift’s rumored relationship.

Travis Kelce‘s ex claims she’s being bombarded with hate every single day amid his relationship with Taylor Swift … saying the cruel comments from the Swifties have impacted her life, and she did nothing to deserve it!

Kayla Nicole was a guest on Angel Reese‘s new “Unapologetically Angel” show on Thursday … where the two discussed her career, rumors and, of course, her ex of five years.

The Chicago Sky star brought up Kelce moving on with Taylor Swift … and asked if the harassment from her fanbase bothered her — even a year after the pop singer and Chiefs tight end became an item.

“I would be lying if I said that that level of hate and just, like, online chaos didn’t impact me — it does. Even to this day,” Nicole said.

“You can go to my most recent [social media] post and it will be people debating each other why I am worthless and I’ll never be a talented person and I have no career …”

Reese then asked Nicole why the Swifties seemed to dislike her so much … especially since she handled the breakup with such grace.

“I don’t know,” Nicole said. “I think that there’s something about that level of fame that attracts crazy people and it’s unfortunate because I’ve never done anything to warrant that kind of backlash.”

As for her career, Nicole said she will be the utmost professional when discussing her ex and his team … and will continue to name-drop him — as he’s the best tight end in the NFL.

Nicole even revealed the two have run into each other in the past … but they know better than to try and strike up a conversation.

“I’ll hit him with a head nod,” Nicole said. “That’s about it.”

“We’ve seen each other in public spaces but I think that we’re both aware of the nature of his new situation that there’s just no room to communicate or acknowledge each other publicly without it being spun into something crazy.”

Dr. Dre accuses a psychiatrist of alienating his son in an ongoing family dispute, raising concerns about unethical influence and manipulation.

All mental health professionals work with individuals and families at their most vulnerable and emotionally challenging times of their lives. However, threatening and harassing someone as a means to express one’s emotions is an unacceptable behavior that the world at large cannot tolerate. Unfortunately, Mr. Young’s recent conduct since the filing of the complaint only perpetuates his chosen consistent pattern of behavior. This dispute is about his consistent pattern of negative and abusive behavior and nothing else.”

Dr. Dre’s firing back against his former psychiatrist, Dr. Charles Sophy, a day after the shrink filed a lawsuit against the music mogul … claiming Sophy tried to turn Dre’s own son against him.

King expressed a similar sentiment in response to Sophy’s lawsuit, accusing Dre of making threats — but the letter reveals a more troubling account of the alleged damage caused by Sophy.

According to King, the psychiatrist “slandered” Dre in a deliberate attempt to manipulate his son into turning against him, allegedly to assist Dre’s then-estranged wife, Nicole, in gaining leverage during their divorce.

King claims this action resulted in Sophy poisoning Dre’s relationship with his son.

Sophy, on the other hand, feels he’s the victim.

As we reported, Dr. Sophy is suing Dre for $10 million … accusing the music producer of bombarding him with abusive and menacing messages after working with Dre and Nicole to help them mediate their divorce.

Nick Dorka from “Love Is Blind” hints at a possible breakup with fiancée Hannah Jiles during an interview, joking about future dating shows and addressing his relationship status. The couple faces challenges after Hannah’s pros and cons list left Nick feeling insecure.

“Love Is Blind” star Nick Dorka may’ve accidentally dropped a major season 7 spoiler … hinting he and fiancée Hannah Jiles may already be over.

We caught up with the reality TV star at LAX, where Nick touched on the extensive vetting process contestants undergo to get onto the show … suggesting some are just luckier than others when it comes to finding “The One.”

Here’s where Nick appeared to slip up, though … when asked why he selected “Love Is Blind” over another dating series, like “The Bachelor,” ND made it clear he’s still open to competing on the ABC dating competition.

Nick later clarified to us he was joking about the Bachelor comment and said he had just gotten off a 6 hour flight and a 8 hour work day so he was having fun with it.

He noted … “That’s next. Come on America. Vote me in.”

However, he soon realized his mistake when our photog confronted him about his relationship status … scrambling for a reply and declaring he is “married.”

As fans of the show well know, the outcome of Nick and Hannah’s engagement has yet to be revealed … with the pair getting engaged in the pods, before heading to Mexico to see if their connection will work without a wall between them.

The duo has already hit a rough patch on the show — Hannah’s pros and cons list left Nick feeling insecure about their relationship. It doesn’t help that Nick was living in his parents’ basement before linking up with Hannah on the show.

Yet, as Nick tells us, he’s since flown the coop, having purchased his own home … saying his prior failure to launch was actually a money-saving strategy.

Here’s hoping Hannah sees it the same way … though, from the sounds of it, Nick is likely living solo in that new home!!!

Leonardo DiCaprio and model Vittoria Ceretti share a romantic bike ride in New York City, joined by his niece. The couple recently returned from a European vacation, enjoying quality time together and with family.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti are sticking to popular European transport back stateside … riding bikes through the Big Apple and hanging with a member of Leo’s fam.

The actor and his model girlfriend hit the New York City streets Saturday … with the two hopping on bicycles and flying down the streets — Leo in his usual incognito mask and hat combo.

Check out the pics … while he’s trying not to attract too much attention, he needs his nose to breathe during the physical activity — and, it’s pretty clearly him even with the mask on.

Vittoria’s also keeping a low profile … thick black sunglasses and a hoodie pulled up, covering her hair. In one pic, Leo’s niece Normandie Farrar can be seen riding with her unc and his GF, so they weren’t totally alone.

Of course, LD and VC are back stateside after enjoying a rip-roaring European vacation. The two were just in Italy earlier this month … snuggling up together in Rome and later going out to dinner with Vittoria’s parents.

Leo got a red wine for the table which cost more than $27k … though when your cleintele ranges from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez to Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, ya gotta stock up on the good stuff.

The two have spent extensive time together and with each other’s families, with Normandie being the most recent member of DiCaprio’s family to meet Vittoria … so, this is defintely the real deal.

So, will they ride off into the sunset together??? Ya never know.

Julia Fox reveals her regret over dating Kanye West, describing it as one of the most uncomfortable times of her life. In a recent interview, she discusses feeling like a pawn in their relationship and emphasizes her desire not to be known solely as someone’s girlfriend.

Julia Fox says she never should’ve dated Kanye West … calling their brief romance one of the most uncomfortable times of her life.

The dominatrix-turned-actress sat down for an interview with The Times, published early Saturday morning, saying she regrets dating the rap star … claiming she wanted to keep their coupling low-key — but, it went public without her OK.

JF says she thinks she was being used as a pawn during their relationship … before confirming Ye’s “the artist” she wrote about in her memoir “Down the Drain” — a person she claims picked out her outfits, offered to pay for a boob job and asked her to sign an NDA.

Fox goes on to say the relationship put her in “the most uncomfortable position in my life and that’s saying a lot. I don’t want to be known for being anyone’s girlfriend.”

Kanye and Julia dated briefly in late 2021/early 2022 … spending just a few weeks together before calling off their relationship.

They did spend some memorable time together … taking on Paris, France in fully leather outfits — though JF later said in her memoir the couple fought pretty much the entire time.

While she dated Ye back in the day, Julia has since come out as a lesbian … revealing the news via TikTok over the summer in a teasing TikTok.

We’ve reached out to Kanye about Julia’s comments … so far, no word back.

Being a nepo baby ain’t all that, according to Aoki Lee Simmons, who’s actually bowing out of modeling, specifically, because she says everyone in the industry wants her to be her mother, Kimora Lee Simmons.

The 22-year-old explained her disappointment in a video where she revealed she’s constantly told she’s not pretty enough to make it in modeling — and, if that wasn’t deflating enough, she’s constantly measured against Kimora.

Aoki says, “My mom is always going to be a way better model than me, it’s just annoying to have that comparison sometimes.”

She says modeling is just a very hard industry, and while she’s planning to “finish strong” — like Kimora always told her to do — Aoki’s already looking past modeling, hoping to land a job in government.

Spare her the dumb model jokes … Aoki has a political science degree from Harvard, and plans to take the foreign service test in order to work in international relations.

As for how she’ll wrap up her modeling career … she isn’t saying, except to reveal it won’t be in this year’s Victoria’s Secret show. Aoki says she auditioned for the VS gig, but didn’t get it.

Kimora and Russell Simmons‘ daughter made headlines earlier this year when she briefly dated 65-year-old restaurateur Vittorio Assaf. Kimora was NOT a fan of the relationship, which ended shortly thereafter.

On to the next … a good way to sum up Aoki’s 2024.

Jason Tartick and Kat Stickler are no longer accepting roses from each other … with the two announcing they’ve ended their relationship after about six months.

The “Bachelorette” star and the influencer announced their split Saturday … with JT taking to his Instagram Story to let everyone know they’d amicably parted ways.

Tartick says he falls in love quick … and, sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn’t — and, this time it just didn’t.

That said, Jason makes it clear there’s no hard feelings between the two … adding he will “forever be grateful for her” and her daughter Mary-Katherine, 5.

Jason Tartick, known for his appearance on “The Bachelorette,” and Kat Stickler, a popular TikTok creator, began dating in April 2024 and made their relationship public in June. After approximately six months together, they announced their amicable breakup on social media in mid-October, with both expressing gratitude for the other and their time together. Stickler clarified that the breakup was amicable and that she would continue to speak on it in the future. She also addressed concerns regarding her daughter, Mary-Katherine, meeting Tartick during their relationship, stating that she felt it was important for her child to know who her mother was dating.

The two looked real flirty during the dinner … with Kat even feeding Jason a few bites of food. They went IG official in June.

Looks like those days are over … but, at least there are no hard feelings.

Dove Cameron is declaring her love for boyfriend Damiano David … sharing a romantic tribute on their one-year anniversary.

The former Disney Channel star offered up a glimpse into her love story with the Måneskin singer, posting a sweet video of the pair locking lips on Instagram.

In a playful moment, Damiano David kisses Dove Cameron while she sits in a makeup chair, both bursting into laughter and clearly in love. Dove shared this sweet interaction along with several shirtless photos and videos of Damiano, showcasing her affection for the rocker. The couple’s chemistry shines through in her anniversary post, highlighting their strong bond.

Yet, it was her caption that sent fans reeling, given the fact Dove declared her love for Damiano in Italian.

She wrote … “ti amerò per sempre,” which translates to “I will love you forever.”

Dove’s tribute comes on the heels of another viral post … in which the starlet flaunted her headlights in a topless mirror selfie in Paris. She also shared a number of other pics from her time in the City of Light … where she attended Paris Fashion Week with Damiano by her side.

Dove and Damiano first sparked relationship rumors last fall, when the “Descendants” star attended Måneskin’s NYC show. DC popped up in the crowd again at the Italian performer’s gig in Brazil … further fueling the romance chatter.

From there, the twosome has been nearly inseparable … and, from the looks of it, have no plans of parting ways.

Happy anniversary, love birds!!!
