Chris Bosh Mom Arrested Allegedly Exploited Disabled Man for Drug Ring
More trouble for Chris Bosh's mother ... Frieda Bosh has been arrested for allegedly using a disabled man in "drug distribution activities."
We broke the story ... the Texas home where Frieda lives was raided by law enforcement officials earlier this month because cops believes a drug trafficking operation was being run out of the home.
Now, officials say Frieda and another man living at the home, Johnathan Brown, were "exploiting a disabled person" ... by forcing the man to use his disibility check to pay their rent.
As we previously reported, the home is owned by Chris Bosh -- and Frieda says he's trying to evict her. They haven't spoken in years.
Officials say Brown was running the drug ring -- and Frieda "allowed this to occur as a means of obtaining free narcotics and marijuana from Brown, while also allowing narcotics and marijuana to be distributed from the offense location."
For her part, Frieda has denied wrongdoing -- and previously pointed the finger at a short-term tenant who had moved out of the home.

McKayla Maroney Sues USA Gymnastics Took Advantage of Me During Dr. Nassar Scandal
McKayla Maroney wants convicted molester Dr. Larry Nassar and USA Gymnastics to pay for the hell they put her through ... according to a new lawsuit.
The Olympic gymnast blames Michigan State University for hiring Nassar when they knew he was a child molester. According to the suit, she's also pissed USA Gymnastics forced her to sign a confidentiality and non-disparagement clause as part of her settlement with Team USA.
She says they were silencing her, and she only agreed to sign it because she was in a desperate situation. McKayla says she needed the money in Dec. 2016 to pay for psychological treatment to recover from the trauma caused by Nassar.
As we've reported ... McKayla says Nassar molested her with his un-gloved hand before competitions. He was convicted earlier this month of criminal sexual misconduct and possession of child pornography. He was sentenced to 60 years in prison for the child porn conviction. He is still awaiting sentencing for the assault convictions.
At least 78 women filed a very similar lawsuit against Nassar, MSU and USA Gymnastics.

We're also told X is not permitted to have ANY contact with the victims or witnesses in the case.
Bogenschutz says once the 60-day house arrest expires, his team will try to get X released on bond while they prep for his case.
XXXTentacion will be back on the outside after being locked up last week on 15 new felony charges -- but he'll have some strict new rules to follow.
Law enforcement sources tell us X will be released Wednesday under a Florida court's discretion. He'll be on "very restrictive house arrest conditions" for the next 2 months.

Nelly Rape Accuser Sues For Sexual Assault, Defamation
8:04 AM PT -- Nelly's attorney, Scott Rosenblum, tells TMZ ... "It comes as no surprise that Ms. Green filed a lawsuit against Nelly seeking money after we announced our intention to hold her accountable. We always believed her accusation was motivated by greed." He adds, Nelly plans to countersue.
Nelly's rape accuser, who refused to testify in the criminal case against him, has now filed a lawsuit against the rapper ... claiming sexual assault and defamation.
Monique Greene says she had worked as a host at the Seattle club where Nelly performed on Oct. 6, 2017 ... although she was not on the clock that night. She says after the show she was drinking alcohol, and hanging out with Nelly and his entourage. According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Nelly invited her to join him at an after-party, and she got into an SUV with him.
She says the SUV brought them to Nelly's tour bus which was parked in a Walmart parking lot. She boarded and walked to the back of the bus ... where Nelly's bedroom was. Greene says she sat down on the bed, and Nelly started masturbating.
According to the suit, Nelly then had sex with Greene against her will ... both orally and vaginally. Greene says she tried to dissuade him by saying he needed to wear a condom, but he refused and continued assaulting her. Afterward, Greene says she was screaming she wanted off the bus ... and an entourage member pushed her off, and Nelly threw a $100 bill at her and said, "Bye bye."
She says Nelly taunted her from the bus as she stood in the parking lot. Greene says she called an Uber, and while waiting she also called 911. Police showed up, interviewed Greene and Nelly ... and arrested him for 2nd degree rape. Greene says police took her to a medical center for treatment and to complete a rape kit.
Greene is also suing for defamation, claiming after his arrest Nelly and his team began a smear campaign ... saying she was only after "money, fame and notoriety."
As we first reported ... prosecutors dropped the criminal case against Nelly when Greene refused to testify. In her lawsuit, she says she felt she couldn't "stand up against a celebrity and that the criminal system would fail her."
For his part, Nelly has said he intends to sue Greene to restore his reputation.

Breaking News

Rosie O'Donnell could be in big trouble for offering millions to GOP senators to vote against the new tax bill.
Rosie tweeted Tuesday at Republican Senators Susan Collins and Jeff Flake -- who both hold key votes for the legislation -- offering to pay 'em $2 mil each if they voted no.
The comedian immediately came under fire for what many called straight-up attempted bribery of a U.S. official, which is a crime. Rosie will likely say she's a comedian and it's just a joke ... however, she did say, "no s**t."
Worth noting -- the Senate passed the bill early Wednesday morning.

Sylvester Stallone Accuser Lied ... Now I Want Her Prosecuted!!!
Sylvester Stallone is ready to demand police investigate a woman who, he's been told, filed a report claiming he raped her 27 years ago ... TMZ has learned.
Stallone's attorney, Marty Singer, tells us he believes the woman recently filed a false police report with Santa Monica PD. Singer says this all started more than a month ago when a media outlet, not TMZ, informed him the woman was alleging Stallone raped her in 1990 in his Santa Monica office.
Stallone denies the allegation. He admits he had spent 3 days with her during a 1987 movie shoot in Israel. He was single, she was not a minor and he says there was never a rape. He also denies he saw her at all in 1990.
Sources with direct knowledge tell us the media outlet that contacted Singer refused to publish the woman's story due to a lack of corroborating evidence, and because, at that time, she had not filed a police report -- not in 1990, and not at any time since then.
We're told the woman finally did file a police report with Santa Monica PD in mid-November. However, the media outlet still did not publish. Our sources say it appears she filed the report in an effort to get the story out to the public, but failed.
However, Singer says a different reporter called him Tuesday and stated, definitively, that the woman -- who sources say was once married to a convicted killer-for-hire -- had now filed a police report. Singer says he contacted Santa Monica PD late Tuesday night to confirm the report, but the investigations division was closed.
He tells us IF he confirms Wednesday morning she did indeed go to police and accuse Stallone of rape -- Stallone WILL file a complaint requesting she be investigated for filing a false police report.

Michael Jackson Wade Robson's Molestation Lawsuit Tossed
Michael Jackson's estate and his companies are off the hook in the alleged child molestation lawsuit filed after the singer's death.
An L.A. County judge dismissed Wade Robson's 2013 suit on Tuesday ... saying he filed too late for the estate to be held liable -- and Robson's attempt to recast it as a lawsuit against Michael's companies was off the mark.
Robson had claimed MJ's companies facilitated the singer's pattern of child molestation and helped him lure victims. In the ruling, the judge said IF Jackson had molested Robson, his companies couldn't be held liable because they had no control over the singer ... essentially, MJ was the boss.
The judge did not rule on the merits of Robson's molestation claims.
What's more, the judge said Robson coming into contact with Jackson had nothing to do with his companies ... since it was Robson's own mom who reached out to MJ and asked him to help her son's career.

Meryl Streep 'She Knew' Posters Call Her Out For Weinstein Scandal
Meryl Streep's face is plastered all over Hollywood in a campaign to shame her for allegedly keeping silent about Harvey Weinstein's sexual misconduct -- and the posters are hitting close to home.
At least 2 "She knew" posters sprung up Tuesday across the street from the L.A. headquarters for SAG-AFTRA ... the union that reps Meryl and all actors.
The poster campaign seems to be in direct response to Rose McGowan's criticism of Streep and other actresses planning to wear black to the Golden Globe awards. McGowan tweeted (and later deleted) -- "Actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster, are wearing black @GoldenGlobes in a silent protest. YOUR SILENCE is THE problem."
Streep says she had no prior knowledge of Weinstein's pattern of harassment and alleged sexual abuse.

Enrique & Anna $600k Miami Crib Makeover ... Bring on the Twins!!!
New parents Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova are going all Donald Trump to make their Miami mansion a fortress of privacy for their twins.
We broke the story ... Anna gave birth to the twins, a boy and a girl, and while she was secretly pregnant, the couple started building a huge 16-foot-tall wall around their Miami home. Construction started in late summer, deep into Anna's 2nd trimester.
According to city building permits, they're also adding a 2-story single family residence to their property -- along with baby-proofing measures, like a "child barrier for pools."
The wall makes sense. Privacy is totally Enrique and Anna's M.O. -- since they clearly went though a whole pregnancy without anyone ever knowing.
The docs say the home makeover will cost $600k when it's all said and done.

Boston's Cardinal Law Dead at 86 Head of Church During Priest Sex Scandal
Cardinal Bernard Law -- the disgraced Boston archbishop at the helm during the Catholic church's sex abuse scandal, and prominently portrayed in the Oscar-winning movie "Spotlight" -- is dead.
The Vatican made a one-sentence announcement, "Cardinal Bernard Law died early this morning after a long illness." Law, who died in Rome Wednesday, was forced to resign as archbishop in 2002 after the Boston Globe's investigative reporting revealed he covered up for pedophile priests.
Law, who was never criminally prosecuted, was promoted to archbishop in 1984 by Pope John Paul II. That same year, a bishop brought forward concerns about a priest molesting kids. Law re-assigned that priest to another parish where the molestation continued.
The scandal and the Globe's investigation was the plot of "Spotlight."
Law was 86.
