“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum NeNe Leakes’ oldest son, Bryson Bryant, is behind bars after a judge found he violated his probation … TMZ has learned.
Per jail records, Bryson was booked on May 1, 2026, and is currently held in a Georgia jail … on charges of failure to pay child support, probation violation, and failure to appear. His bond is set at $27K.
The probation violation stems from a 2024 case in which cops say he was found with fentanyl. During questioning, cops say he told officers his name was Brentt Leakes, which is the name of NeNe’s youngest son.
Bryson ended up being charged with giving a false name to officers and possession of a controlled substance. He reached a plea deal where the drug charge was dropped, but he was sentenced to 12 months’ probation.
In addition, he was ordered to pay $500 in fines, complete 40 hours of community service, get randomly drug tested, and undergo a drug evaluation.
TMZ obtained court docs filed on June 2 … where prosecutors claimed Bryson violated numerous terms of his 2024 probation, including failure to report since the sentence, complete the substance abuse evaluation, perform his community service, and make any payments on the fine.
NeNe previously spoke out about Bryson’s issues with addiction … saying he needed counseling and had a problem.
The ‘RHOA’ alum said she has spent a ton of money trying to help him and that he has gone to rehab multiple times … with no luck.

Now streaming on Paramount+, Episode 7 of “Dutton Ranch” gives viewers an intimate look into Beulah’s troubled past, while also sending Annette Bening’s character into an uncertain future. That is, if she even gets a future.
The hour begins with a harrowing flashback to 1981, where a younger, wilder Beulah is hitting up a dance hall with some friends — followed closely by Joaquin’s father Mariano as her paid chaperone. Beulah hits it off with a handsome stranger named Luke, who then pays the bartender to distract Mariano while he takes Beulah to a secondary location. By the time Mariano tracks Beulah down at a motel, the act has already been perpetrated. Clearly roughed up, she orders Mariano to tell her father that she fell off a mechanical bull.
We’re then reunited with present-day Beulah, who is meticulously overseeing preparations for the 10-Petal’s 190th anniversary party. Everyone at the ranch knows it’s a big deal; even Oreana willingly dresses like a proper Jackson lady without putting up a fight. But no one is looking forward to the big night quite like Joaquin, who’s finally set to be announced as the next head of the 10-Petal Ranch.
The party begins well enough, with Beth and Rip — who are fashionably late on account of hanky-panky — arriving in style, riding on horseback with Carter in tow. Beulah, or “Mama B” as she wants Carter to call her, gives the trio a warm welcome like they’re old friends. It’s certainly a warmer welcome than Oreana gives Carter, introducing him to a handsome suitor as one of her “friends.” (Ouch!) That hiccup aside, it’s a perfectly pleasant evening.
That’s when the night goes straight to hell.
Oreana informs Beulah that a surprise party guest is waiting in her office — it’s dear ol’ daddy Rob-Will, and he’s not there to celebrate Joaquin’s promotion. Rob-Will, or “Robert Williams Jackson III” as he reminds Beulah, is there to take what he believes is rightfully his. She questions his sobriety, naturally, but he insists that he’s “clear-eyed, ruthless, a killer,” saying he’s the image of her father. You know, as if that was a good thing.
“He’s someone that you’d be a fool to underestimate,” actor Jai Courtney tells TVLine. As for Rob-Will’s ability to actually run the ranch, Courtney says, “I think he can get it done. It’s about hiring the right people around you. Despite his substance reliance and some of his issues, I don’t think Rob-Will is someone to be discounted. He might have been introduced as someone who’s kind of messy, but it would be an error in judgment to think that carries over into absolutely everything. He’s actually someone who, I think, could turn it around.”
Following his warm chat with mom, Rob-Will joins the party, where he offers Rip a half-baked apology for what went down the other night. He’s pretty casual about it, considering Chet is dead and Joaquin is still nursing a gunshot wound, so Rip barely grumbles out a response before walking away.
This quick interaction got us excited for when Rip and Rob-Will inevitably face off, and Courtney is only building the hype: “It’s either going to end in tears or they’ll walk away best friends,” he says. “It’s staged for a challenge, that’s for sure.”
Then comes Beulah’s fateful speech announcing Rob-Will as the next head of the 10-Petal Ranch, its beef business, and its upcoming line of ranch-to-table steaks. Rip, Beth, and Everett exchange disturbed glances at this sudden turn of events, but no one is more blindsided than Joaquin. “She’s going to call me in five days when you f**k up again!” he screams at Rob-Will before making his dramatic exit.
“This is the worst thing that could ever happen to this guy,” actor Juan Pablo Raba tells TVLine of Joaquin’s reaction to Beulah’s announcement. “Imagine dedicating your entire life to one thing, then realizing they’re not going to give it to you. He wanted to do it the right way. He went to A&M, he got his degree, and he’s been the good boy who keeps everybody out of trouble. He’s like, ‘I’ve done it. Why are you not giving this to me? I deserve it. I did everything right.’ So that is heartbreaking.”
And Joaquin doesn’t go quietly. Before putting the 10-Petal in his rearview mirror, he tells Rob-Will he should have finished him off earlier — because he’ll never get another chance. Does this mean by-the-books Joaquin may resort to some underhanded tactics to exact revenge on Rob-Will? Raba acknowledges that his character is certainly being pushed to his breaking point.
“You tend to underestimate the one who’s not loud, the one who doesn’t want to fight you in the face,” Raba tells TVLine. “But that one is probably the one who’s observing the situation from the outside and is going to catch you by surprise. I think Rob-Will is going to be surprised. He thinks he can pick a fight with Joaquin and have Joaquin immediately react, but he won’t.”
The anniversary party pretty much goes down in flames at this point. While a flustered Beulah fields concerns from Beth and Zane Nash, neither of whom agreed to get into business with Rob-Will, Carter emerges from inside the house carrying the bull head from Beulah’s office. It’s a drunken, misguided attempt to impress Oreana, who recently told Carter that she needs her romantic partner to be more of a bull than a steer.
But the nuance of the situation is understandably lost on Beulah, who is furious to see Carter desecrating her prized possession — and that’s before he drops it on the ground. Overwhelmed by the excitement of the night, Beulah appears to suffer a heart attack, ultimately leaving the party by a medical helicopter.
As Beulah loses consciousness, we flash back to 1981, where young Beulah is horrified to discover that she’s pregnant. Once again at her command, Mariano drives Beulah to Luke’s house so she can tell him he’s going to be a father, but Beulah has more than a message on her mind. Mariano watches from the car as Beulah enters Luke’s house and shoots him dead, then emerges with a smile: “Found my other boot!” Savage.
Let’s talk: Did your heart break for Joaquin when Beulah announced Rob-Will as her successor? And speaking of hearts breaking, how worried are you for Mama B?! And did you share our urge to reach through the TV and shake that fool Carter? Drop a comment with your thoughts on Episode 7 below.

James Burrows, the genre-shaping master of the television situation comedy who was a creator of “Cheers” and directed more than 1,000 episodes of that show and other TV classics like “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “The Bob Newhart Show,” “Taxi,” “Frasier,” “Friends” and “The Big Bang Theory,” died on Friday. He was 85.
His agent, Rick Rosen, confirmed the death, but did not say where he died or specify a cause.
Mr. Burrows earned a reputation as the “Steven Spielberg of sitcoms,” winning 11 Emmy Awards and receiving 47 nominations in a career that spanned five decades. In 1995, Bill Carter, writing in The New York Times, described him as “the man whose visual style and comedic instincts have helped create more comedy hits than anyone else in television.”
With a unique flair for the multicamera sitcom, Mr. Burrows won audiences by focusing on the laughs.
“When I direct a television show, I try to reach that sweet spot where the best script meets the best performance and the best chemistry between performers,” Mr. Burrows wrote in his 2022 autobiography, “Directed by James Burrows,” written with Eddy Friedfeld. “Hitting that exact moment, where these factors land in combination, results in the sweetest and most enduring laugh.”

“Elf” star Faizon Love was arrested on charges connected to a child support case after claiming he couldn’t pay $250,000 due to financial struggles.
The beloved actor, who was detained for an outstanding warrant, was taken to the Orient Road Jail in Tampa, Florida, on June 18, 2026, where he is being held without bond.
He claimed he couldn’t pay child support because he was broke, allegedly earning only $13,000 in the past five years.
Love, however, isn’t a stranger to legal issues and has been arrested and sued in the past for assault.
The “Friday” star’s run-in with the law, which started in 2017, comes after he became an adored comedian with more than 90 acting credits since the 1990s.
Page Six is breaking down Love’s career leading up to his legal run-ins.
Rise to stardom
Love’s decades-long career in the entertainment industry kick-started when he signed on as a comedian on the TV series “L.A. Friday” from 1988 to 1990.
In the early 1990s, he starred in several films, including the role of Big Worm in the 1995 F. Gary Gray movie “Friday,” starring Ice Cube and Chris Tucker.
The actor was also a regular in the TV series “The Parent ‘Hood” as Wendell Wilcox from 1995 to 1998.
Big break
One of Love’s most beloved roles was as the overworked Gimbel store manager in the 2003 film “Elf” starring Will Ferrell and Zoey Deschanel.
In the Jon Favreau-directed Christmas movie, he works alongside Ferrell and Deschanel’s characters, Buddy and Jovie, to run a chaotic department store during the holiday season.
Additionally, Love played the role of Shane in the 2009 film “Couples Retreat.”
Other movie and show credits include “That’s So Raven,” “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” “Zookeeper” as Bruce the Bear and “Step Up: High Water.”
Love’s last role was as Vernon in the 2023 movie “The Last Stop in Yuma County.”
2017 assault arrest
Love was arrested for assaulting a John Glenn Columbus International Airport valet employee on March 7, 2017.
According to authorities, he was arguing with the 24-year-old employee in the baggage claim area before grabbing the latter by the neck and pushing him on the floor several times, per 10WBNS.
At the time, the “Prince of Detroit” star’s attorney explained that Love and the worker had a disagreement about the actor’s parking payment after he left his vehicle at the Ohio-based airport for months while traveling.
Love pleaded no contest, was fined $500, and sentenced to 180 days in jail.
2024 assault
In 2024, Love was accused of assaulting a San Diego Sheraton Hotel employee after learning there were no more vacancies.
According to a lawsuit obtained by Entertainment Weekly, Love allegedly became “agitated and aggressive” and “forcefully ripped the credit card reader off the counter and hurled it at” the female worker.
The employee claimed that Love broke her glasses and she “suffered pain, injury, and emotional distress, including a concussion and a visible bump behind her right ear.”
Per the filing, the San Diego Police Department responded to the scene and cited Love for battery.
2026 arrest
Love was arrested once again on June 16, 2026, after he allegedly violated a court order in Florida.
The “Bulletproof 2” star’s arrest was reportedly connected to his paternity case with a woman named Tiffany Lee, who alleged he owes her $250,000 in unpaid child support, per TMZ.
In court documents, he alleged that he didn’t have the funds to pay Lee, claiming that he’s only earned $13,000 in the past five years, with no earnings in the past year.
Love failed to attend a child support case court hearing in April 2026, claiming he had a medical emergency. He was later ordered to turn himself in to serve a 90-day sentence.

Diddy’s company is being sued after allegedly failing to close a multi-million dollar deal to sell his home on Star Island near Miami.
A man named John Franklin is suing 1 West Star Island LLC — the corporation which technically owns Diddy’s mansion in the affluent neighborhood … claiming he entered into an agreement back in March to buy the home for $55 million.
According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Franklin says the closing date was set for May 12 … but when it came around, he claims the company was “not ready or able to close” the deal even though he was.
Specifically, Franklin claims 1 West Star Island wasn’t able to provide a clear title by the closing date by failing to provide some paperwork about a couple mortgages on the property.
He notes there’s a mediation clause baked into the contract … and he says he will go to mediation to work out the deal — but he’s filing the lawsuit out of an abundance of caution to protect his interest in the property.
Franklin’s asking a judge to enforce the contract and force the sale.
Diddy’s Star Island home made headlines as one of the properties the feds raided months before the rapper’s September 2024 arrest in New York City.
Officers arrived by boat to search the compound in March 2024 … and the feds later released photos of what they found … including sex toys on a shelving unit near Vaseline and Astroglide lube.
Diddy’s currently serving time at Fort Dix — a federal prison in New Jersey. He’s expected to be released in February 2028.
The Star Island home has been a key part of Diddy’s case … every time he tried to get released on bail — after the arrest and between his verdict and sentencing — he proposed living there and offered it up as collateral.
A spokesperson for Diddy tells TMZ … “The lawsuit is against 1 West Star Island LLC, not Mr. Combs personally, and it does not allege that he ‘reneged’ on a deal or failed to pay mortgages.”
The rep goes on … “At most, the complaint claims there were title/closing documentation issues involving recorded encumbrances and a permit issue. We dispute any suggestion that Mr. Combs failed to pay off mortgages or personally caused the transaction not to close.”
