The musician's lawyer, Orin Snyder told People that his client believes Jeffrey is coming forward with these scandalous statement in a an attempt to make a quick buck:

"This baseless lawsuit is brought by a disgruntled former security officer seeking to extract an undeserved payment."

The attorney added the 69-year-old is flat-out denying that he ever assaulted the member of his security team, continuing:

But, spokesperson for the basketball team John Black explained that he talked to both athletes and the ProtectHer founder, and said:

"Based on these conversations, our conclusion is that there are different interpretations of what happened."

John continued to say that he believes Nick and Jordan's stories, adding:

"We support Nick and Jordan and believe what they told us about the incidents and their actions. We also are supportive of Alexis and her feelings about what happened, about women's rights, and of the fine work Alexis is doing with her organization."

He also explained that he has been trying to arrange a meeting between everyone involved, admitting:

Breaking news: Donald Trump is hot garbage.

The presidential candidate did an interview on foreign policy with the Washington Post's deputy digital editor, Karen Attiah.

But it wasn't his xenophobic foreign policy that got him in trouble this time; it was what he said to the reporter afterward!

After Attiah asked Trump a question about foreign policy and immigration policies, the real estate mogul made things personal, as she tweeted on Monday:

This is sooo Gr-r-reat!

Obviously we're firmly against both sexual harassment AND cruelty to animals, but seeing as this is a cartoon mascot, we're going to choose to find all this hilarious!

Apparently Tony The Tiger — the lovable spokescat for Frosted Flakes cereal — has been getting some pretty explicit sexual tweets from furries.

For the uninitiated, furries are people who like to dress up in furry animal costumes and role-play as anthropomorphic creatures with human-like traits. Even (or especially) during sex.

And they've had their eye on Tony (whose verified Twitter account is @RealTonyTiger btw) for a while now!

See some of the NSFW tweets (below)!

Taylor Swift and this ex radio DJ really have some Bad Blood!

Earlier this year, David Mueller filed a lawsuit against the 25-year-old, who had claimed he grabbed her ass during a meet-and-greet at the Pepsi Center in Denver a few years back.

The disc jockey said he was fired from his job because of the pop princess' allegation, even though he swears he wasn't the one who touched her butt!

Instead, the ex KYGO employee claimed that it was actually Eddie Haskell, the station's program director, who had groped the blonde beauty.

Then last month, the singer decided she wasn't going to just shake off the wrongful termination suit she's facing from the former on-air personality, and opted to countersue.

The singer also promised that any money she won from the suit would be donated to "charitable organizations dedicated to protecting women from similar acts of sexual assault and personal disregard."

But now, David is saying that those supposedly selfless acts would just be for the sake of publicity, and is demanding that portion of her argument be thrown out!

His lawyer told a judge:

The list just keeps getting longer.

On Friday, two more women made allegations against Bill Cosby.

The victims, identified as Donna Barrett and Dottye, opened up about their experiences with the 78-year-old during a New York press conference held by lawyer Gloria Allred.

Dottye claimed that she had missed an open call audition for The Cosby Show in 1984 because she was taking a trip, but said she was eventually able to send her headshot, resumé, and letter of consideration to the program's star.

The victim then revealed that she heard back from the actor, who invited her to his NY abode to try out for the role. Dottye claims that he gave her a drink when she got there, and proceeded to spin her around.

She said:

"Once he stopped spinning me I was dizzy and disoriented, and sick. Within seconds I began to vomit all over myself and his rug. I felt ashamed."

The lady continued by saying that Bill took her clothes off, bathed her, and then gave her a clean robe to wear. She said she remembers being near a chest, and described the scary story of her next moments with her alleged assaulter, adding:

OK, Lance Bass needs to be careful about his wording…

During a panel on Wednesday's Meredith Vieira Show, the SiriusXM radio host made a very shocking admission that he was the victim of inappropriate touching when he was a teenager.

The former *NSYNC member went on to say that right when the boy band was talking off two decades ago, an older man, whom Bass referred to as a "pedophile," worked with the pop group would touch him and "the guys" inappropriately.

But apparently, the singer's choice of wording may have confused viewers about what actually happened!

On Wednesday, Bass clarified his comments on his radio show Dirty Pop, and he explained that he was NOT molested! He asserted:
