Published | Updated

5:25 PM PT -- We've obtained Bolling Jr.'s autopsy report -- it confirms Sr.'s tweets -- saying Jr. died of an accidental overdose. The report states Jr.'s blood had cocaine, fentanyl and a medication for anxiety.

The death of Eric Chase Bolling Jr. has been ruled an accidental overdose ... this according to his father.

The ex-Fox News Channel anchor, Eric Bolling, said he received tragic news Thursday from the coroner in Colorado informing him his 19-year-old son accidentally overdosed on drugs that included opioids. Eric went on to say, "Adrienne and I thank you for your continued prayers and support. We must fight against this national epidemic, too many innocent victims."

The news comes on the same day President Trump declared the opioid epidemic a national public health emergency.

We broke the story ... Eric died after suffering "emotional torture" over the humiliation his dad was suffering following his firing from the network over sexual harassment allegations.

SISTER SUPPORT

Tamar Braxton won't have to go through her divorce alone ... 'cause the cavalry has arrived.

We got the Braxton sisters, sans Toni, at LAX and it's clear they've got Tamar's back. In fact, it's no coincidence they arrived days after she filed to divorce Vincent Herbert.

The Braxton ladies hinted this is sort of a family tradition.

Towanda told us they all have experience, unfortunately, in dealing with this kinda thing -- so they're prepared to get Tamar through the tough times.

An interesting tidbit here -- the Braxtons deny Tamar's firing from "The Real" was the last straw for the couple, saying this one's been coming for a while. They also seem to be saying it's about time.

Rachel McAdams Toback Said He Masturbated to Me During Hotel Room Meeting

Published | Updated

Rachel McAdams had an incredibly creepy encounter with disgraced director James Toback ... who she claims turned an audition into a very personal chat about his masturbation habits.

Rachel says it happened when she was 21. After meeting Toback at theater school, he encouraged her to audition for a part in his film, "Harvard Man" -- and later he invited her to meet in his hotel room to workshop the part.

She hesitantly agreed, and claims the meeting started with them sitting on the floor, and he quickly started talking about sex. She claims Toback said, "You know, I just have to tell you. I have masturbated countless times today thinking about you since we met."

After some awkward questions about how far she'd be willing to go as an actress, she claims he went to the bathroom. When he came out he said, "I just jerked off in the bathroom thinking about you. Will you show me your pubic hair?"

Rachel told Vanity Fair she eventually excused herself, but felt great shame over the incident for years. As we reported, Toback has been accused of sexual harassment by more than 30 women.

Astros' Manager A.J. Hinch In L.A. Bar Altercation ... Cops Called

Published | Updated

The World Series hasn't just been a slugfest on the field ... Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch was involved in a heated altercation after Game 1 and cops were called ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Here's what we know ... Hinch was hanging out at the bar at the team hotel in Pasadena on Tuesday night after Houston lost Game 1 to the Dodgers.

We're told he was having some drinks -- when some hotel guests came in and started talking trash about the Astros.

Sources say Hinch "snapped" and unleashed on the other patrons -- cursing and yelling in the middle of the bar. One witness tells us the incident turned physical and cops were called to separate the two parties.

We spoke with Pasadena PD and we were told they responded to the hotel at 10:30 PM to help security "keep the peace" during an incident involving Houston Astros "team management."

We're told no arrests were made and no report was taken -- both sides ended up walking away.

Hinch clearly had some fight left in him the next day -- when he led the Astros to a come-from-behind victory over the Dodgers.

We reached out to the Astros -- but the team had no comment.

Tyrese Ex Claims He's Spying on Her ... She Fears Him at Times

Published | Updated

4:30 PM PT -- We're told during cross-examination, Tyrese's lawyer suggested Norma was dating a drug addict ... which is why Tyrese had a private investigator following her years ago. She denied it.

We're also told Tyrese began sobbing in the courtroom when he found out Norma wants to take their daughter to Israel for 3-4 days to meet Norma's grandma.

Tyrese's ex-wife says he has somebody following her and her friends to keep tabs on them ... and she's sometimes fearful of what he might do.

Norma Gibson's in court trying to get a permanent restraining order against Tyrese to keep him away from her and their 10-year-old daughter, Shayla. Norma took the stand Thursday and claimed Tyrese has been harassing her since 2014 after their custody evaluation by having someone tail her and her friends.

When Norma was asked if she's afraid of her ex, she replied ... "At times." She also brought up the 2007 incident where Tyrese allegedly punched her while she was pregnant, claiming 3 of Tyrese's people met with her afterward and got her to sign an agreement not to talk about it. She says she did it because she didn't want to ruin his career at the time.

Tyrese tells us this is all B.S., and the restraining order is sour grapes from him getting remarried. He claims he hasn't seen his daughter in over 60 days and just wants this resolved quickly so he can see her.

Norma has a temporary restraining order against Tyrese already, which she filed for claiming he abused their daughter. Norma claims he went into a rage, pushed Shayla to the ground, "grabbed her hands with one arm and beat her with the other" between 12 and 16 times. Norma says Tyrese hit Shayla so hard she couldn't sit. Tyrese says he only struck her once on her bottom.

The L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services is currently investigating.

Harvey Weinstein Sues The Weinstein Co. No 'Unjustified Legal Settlements' On My Watch!!!

Published | Updated

Harvey Weinstein just took a dramatic step to defend himself and the company he founded ... by suing the company he founded.

Weinstein just filed a lawsuit against The Weinstein Co. in an effort to access records he can use to defend himself and the company against potential liability from women who have sued TWC for allegedly enabling Harvey's predatory behavior.

In the suit, Harvey says he wants all emails sent to and from his account and his complete employment file. He says he also wants these docs to help prevent the company from being forced to pay out "unjustified settlements," claiming he's "in a unique position to offer insight, and further explain and contextualize his emails."

As one of the largest TWC shareholders, Harvey claims money that's paid out in settlements essentially comes out of his pocket. TMZ broke the story ... actress Dominique Huett sued TWC claiming the company had knowledge of past behavior.

Miles Teller In the Clear for Drunken Arrest

Published | Updated

Miles Teller won't face charges for public intoxication after getting busted in San Diego ... because cops did him a solid.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... police are not sending the case to the City Attorney, and they've tossed the whole matter. We're told it was a first-time offense, and there were no additional charges besides being drunk in public -- a misdemeanor -- so cops said ... all good.

As we reported ... Miles was arrested in June when cops said he was falling down drunk and refused to cooperate when they placed him in the drunk tank. Miles said there was no evidence to charge him with a crime.

Cops agreed, or maybe just agreed to let this one slide.

Case closed.

DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP

The Secret Service agent who jumped up on President Kennedy's Lincoln Continental to protect Jackie Kennedy doesn't think the soon-to-be-released secret assassination documents will amount to a hill of beans ... he's convinced Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman.

LOOK GOOD FEEL GOOD

You can't say models don't eat ... because Samantha Hoopes just put her foot in her mouth, saying she can't get on S.I.'s Swimsuit Issue cover due to her weight -- or lack thereof.

Samantha was at LAX signing tons of her swimsuit modeling shots for fans ... when we asked what's the deal with her NOT scoring a cover. It's clearly a sore subject because she immediately threw shade at bigger models ... suggesting S.I. might give her a look IF she packed on some pounds.

She quickly pled JK, but it feels like her joke's at least partially based on real feelings. Remember, S.I. gave Ashley Graham the cover in 2016.

Samantha did admit the modeling landscape has changed drastically, and, to be fair ... she says that's a good thing.

Oh, and he's also bashed Marshawn Lynch.

Published | Updated

The real-life hockey player played by Josh Hartnett in the new movie "6 Below" has been hit with a restraining order by his wife after allegedly abusing her for years ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Eric LaMarque was an Olympic and pro hockey player -- who became famous for surviving alone in the wilderness during a massive winter storm. He was rescued but both of his feet were amputated as a result of his injuries. He wrote a book about the experience, called "Crystal Clear," which was later made into a movie.

But behind the scenes, LaMarque's life has been a mess -- his wife, Hope, claims he got violent during an argument on Oct. 13 ... the same day his movie was officially released.

Eric's wife claims he got so angry, he followed her to the car -- then punched the windows and pulled the mirrors. She claims it's not the first time he went nuclear -- she's called the police on Eric at least 11 times over the years for alleged domestic violence.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ Sports, the judge granted a temporary restraining order against Eric. Hope has also filed for divorce.
