Ryan Lochte told the U.S. Olympic Committee the same lie he told NBC, and he now faces possible discipline in addition to criminal charges ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Lochte and familiar with the situation tell us, Ryan repeated the story to USOC officials ... that he and his fellow swimmers were in a cab going back to the Olympic Village when men posing as cops robbed them and took their wallets.

The USOC and the IOC took heat Sunday after Lochte told the lie on TV. However, we're told once it heard the reports, the USOC got in touch with Ryan immediately, who said the story was untrue and the USOC passed that info to the IOC.

We've now learned after Lochte went on TV, USOC officials talked to him and he repeated the concocted story line and verse.

TMZ has also learned Lochte is preparing an apology to the U.S. and Brazil.

Talk about two guys STOKED to be home.

Here's Team USA swimmers Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz finally returning to the states ... after Brazilian officials pulled them off their homebound flight earlier this week.

Conger and Bentz were part of the Ryan Lochte party crew that allegedly vandalized a Rio gas station bathroom Sunday morning and then lied about it to police.

The two were interviewed by police -- but were ultimately allowed to fly home on Thursday.

Meek Mill knows a good BOGO when he sees one ... because he scored a sweet bonus just for dropping a few hundred thousand for a new luxurious and rare SUV.

Sources close to Meek tell us the rapper paid $380,000 to get a Bentley Bentayga as soon as it rolled out of the factory. They've only made 75 of 'em and we're told Meek got the only one in Bev Hills. Why? It does 175 mph, and Bentley says it's the fastest SUV in the world.

The base model goes for $300k, but of course Meek had to have the Mulliner Edition. That's rich people talk for fully loaded. Check out the video ... it's pretty baller, and even has refrigerated consoles.

We're told Bentley threw in a "free" Breitling Bentley edition watch and some limited edition Bentley luggage. What a bargain!

Finally, something new for Meek ... without Nicki's name on it.

How much does it cost to make an international bathroom scandal go away in Rio?? Just short of $11,000 ... at least for Team USA swimmer Jimmy Feigen.

Diddy and Cassie have called it quits following an explosive argument that ended with cops rushing to her home ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... they got into a heated argument in a car Wednesday afternoon after Cassie told Diddy she wanted to break up. We're told Diddy got pissed off and suspicious enough to grab her phone and start scrolling through.

Our sources say Diddy jumped out of the car in Bev Hills -- phone in hand -- and she took off with the driver.

Diddy eventually came home and returned the phone, but then took 2 cars parked outside.

Cassie had told her mom about the phone incident before Diddy came home and returned it, and the mom called the cops on him. Cops ended up at Cassie's home and she explained she got the phone back so they left, but not before writing up a domestic incident report. However, we're told no crime was committed.

As for the breakup, we're told they've done it before -- Justin and Selena style -- so who knows?

Robert Griffin III is telling friends ... his wife was NOT blindsided by his decision to pursue a divorce -- insisting their marriage has been on the rocks for two years.

But it begs the question ... why would the couple then buy a house TOGETHER in April?

Ryan Lochte and his crew paid around $400 to the Rio gas station owner for a sandwich sign they cracked during their drunken escapade, and the amount of cash may actually help the boys.

Our guy in Rio got a pic of the damage, and all you see is a slight crack on the plastic cover of a sign on the wall outside the bathroom. Although cops talked about a mirror that was broken in the bathroom, we saw no evidence of this and someone who works there said the sign was the only thing damaged.

Lochte claims he and the other swimmers offered around $50 for the damage but the station wanted more. Our Lochte sources tell us he paid around $400.

Our sources say by extracting exponentially more than the damage warranted, with the help of a gun, that constituted robbery and therefore the police report was not false.

Kendall Jenner isn't taking any chances after a guy made it inside the gates of her new Hollywood Hills home ... she's hired round-the-clock guards.

We're told security will patrol her yard and sit outside the home so the uninvited hold their distance. BTW, she already had a security system and bodyguards, but apparently she needs extra muscle.

As we previously reported, Shavaughn McKenzie was arrested and charged with stalking and trespassing after he followed Kendall up her driveway. Kendall got a restraining order against him.

We're told she was so shaken up she doesn't feel safe at her pad any more, which she purchased in June. The plan is to have guards for the foreseeable future.

Kris Jenner was terrorized by a woman who hacked her iCloud and social media accounts, impersonated her and flooded her with explicit messages ... according to the feds.

Prosecutors slapped the woman with a 15-count indictment for harassing Kris, several of her family members and 2 assistants in 2014. According to docs, the suspect sent hundreds of emails and texts, many of which were sexual and disturbing. They include:

- "Can I eat you out. Oh you can't block me forever love."
- "I'm gonna duck you right in the p**** hole you are mine and u am in love"
- "Instagram me. Make me famous."

According to docs, she claimed to have a sex tape of Kris and even impersonated the Kardashian matriarch during a phone call to cops ... saying one of her family members was committing suicide.

The woman also sent Caitlyn Jenner texts like, "Kris hates blacks and we made it to TMZ bye Bruce."

Amber Heard is giving ALL of her Johnny Depp divorce settlement money to 2 charities.

Amber confirmed what TMZ first reported ... the settlement amount is $7 million, and she tells us, "The donation will be divided equally between the ACLU, with a particular focus to stop violence against women, and the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, where I have worked as a volunteer for the past 10 years."

Amber's also reiterating what she and Johnny said in their joint statement -- that the divorce wasn't about financial gain. She says, "Money played no role for me personally and never has, except to the extent that I could donate it to charity and, in doing so, hopefully help those less able to defend themselves."

Amber says she forfeited all residuals Johnny earned from movie deals he made during their 15-month marriage ... which she'd be entitled to because there was no prenup.

A rep for Children's Hospital thanked Heard and said, "her generosity will support the lifesaving treatments and cures that CHLA provides for critically ill children each year."

Amber added, "Hopefully this experience results in a positive change in the lives of people who need it the most."

Ryan Lochte and the 3 other Team USA swimmers were rolling like true VIPs when they cruised into a Brazilian nightclub ... about 4 hours before their alleged robbery sparked an international incident.

Surveillance footage at Club France shows Lochte, James Feigen, Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger breezed past the line of normies waiting at 1:47 AM to get inside.

At 5:47 AM they walked out of the club, interestingly, the Olympic heroes had zero chicks with them.

As we reported ... Lochte's camp denies Rio police claims that 2 female witnesses at the gas station were with the swimmers.

Kim Kardashian slipped into a tiny bikini and hit the beach in Mexico ready to roll around in the sand ... with her kids.

Yeah, North and Saint are on vacay with mom. The whole fam went out Thursday for some fun in the sun -- and the kids are so freakin' adorable they almost upstaged Kim's famed assets.

Almost.

3:34 PM PT -- ABC News appears to have backed off the indictment story and now says federal cops are "recommending" indictment.

Ryan Lochte and James Feigen have been indicted in Rio for filing a false police report ... this according to ABC News.

Sources connected to the 2 swimmers tell TMZ, they're "not surprised" at the turn of events, but they add Ryan and Jimmy told the truth. They reiterated, as Ryan initially said, the swimmers were in a cab, they were confronted by men who appeared to be police and at that point there is a lapse of 3 minutes on the video.

When the video restarts the swimmers come out with their hands up, Ryan is standing and then goes down. And the sources add armed security took their money.

Jimmy Feigen is still in Rio and could be arrested. Ryan is back in the U.S.

The crime of filing a false police report is punishable by 6 months in jail. We've done some checking and the crime is not listed as an extraditable offense, which means the U.S. cannot force Lochte to go back to Rio for prosecution.

Dana White says Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz will BOTH be punished for their roles in the UFC 202 bottle fight ... and says someone who was struck at the event is already planning a lawsuit.
