Vince Neil breaks silence after jet hits parked jet, killing pilot
Mötley Crüe's Vince Neil has released a statement after his jet reportedly hit an aircraft owned by actor Vince Vaughn in Arizona, killing at least one and injuring three others.
The heavy metal frontman's Learjet 35 reportedly hit a parked Gulfstream G200 Monday afternoon at Scottsdale Municipal Airport, according to local outlets.
'Mr. Neil's thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved, and he is grateful for the critical aid of all first responders assisting today,' read a statement from his lawyer, Worrick Robinson, IV.
The statement noted that the incident occurred 'for reasons unknown at this time,' pending the 'rapidly evolving situation' and 'ongoing investigation.'
'On board Mr Neil's plane were two pilots and two passengers. Mr. Neil was not on the plane,' said Robinson's statement.
Neil's manager told TMZ that though he was not aboard, his girlfriend, Rain, and her friend Ashley were on board and hospitalized, the former with five broken ribs, Neil's manager told TMZ. One of that plane's pilots was killed.
Early reports of the incident claimed the parked jet's tail number was that of a plane belonging to actor Vince Vaughn, but that has not been independently confirmed. A representative for Vaughn did not immediately respond to the Daily News' request for comment about whether the plane belongs to Vaughn or whether he was on board.

The heartbreaking reason Justin Bieber was forced to sell his $200M music catalog: doc
Justin Bieber was allegedly 'on the verge of financial collapse' when he sold his $200 million music catalog to Hipgnosis Songs Capital in 2022, a new documentary claims. 'I was on a call with multiple people — Justin's side acknowledges that in 2022, he was on the verge of … the words were 'financial collapse.' And that's why he had to sell his catalog,' TMZ executive producer Harvey Levin alleged in the 'TMZ Investigates: What Happened to Justin Bieber?' doc, which is now streaming on Hulu. 'Justin said, 'I gotta sell it now.' And he sold it in December. That's how broke he was.' Levin speculated that the 'Sorry' singer — whose net worth has been estimated at $300 million — found himself 'broke' in part due to money trouble stemming from debts accrued after he canceled his 2022 Justice Tour. A TMZ staffer also alleged in the documentary that Bieber, 31, was spending massive amounts of money on the tour — with eight buses and $2 million spent in bus renovations — and in his everyday life by flying on expensive jets and purchasing several mega-mansions. Had he finished the tour, TMZ executive producer Don Nash claimed that Bieber would have made $90 million. A rep for Bieber did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment. Rumblings of financial problems have been circling around the pop star for some time. Earlier this month, it was reported that Bieber was in millions of dollars worth of debt to his former manager, Scooter Braun, despite parting ways with the music mogul almost two years ago. According to an independent six-month audit conducted by accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC), the singer owes Braun over $8,806,000. At the time, a source told Page Six that the debt stems from a loan the mogul made to Bieber to 'help him' after his canceled tour set him back $20 million. Last October, an insider told Page Six that the 'Peaches' singer's spending habits were 'out of control.' 'He spends eye-watering amounts per month. At one point, he couldn't even get a credit card,' the source claimed. 'Justin is surrounded by a lot of people that do not have his best interests at heart.' The same comments were echoed in May as several of the Grammy winner's friends expressed concern over his continued big spending — despite his alleged financial struggles. 'He's flying in all his friends on private jets to his birthday party, putting it all over Instagram,' a source exclusively told Page Six at the time. 'He'll spend $300,000 at the Nobu at Coachella. He hasn't worked in a really long time.' In addition to his alleged financial woes, many have speculated about the singer's mental health after he was seen on several occasions partaking in recreational drug use and exhibiting erratic behavior. In April, several sources within Bieber's inner circle told the Hollywood Reporter that they feared they were watching him 'disintegrate' due to 'not living his purpose.' 'He's lost,' one former colleague, whose identity and position were not revealed, claimed. 'There's no one protecting him because there's no one there willing to say 'no' to him. You say 'no,' you get blown out.'

Brit Eady Blasts Bravo With $20M Lawsuit Over 'Fake Sex Act' Poster
Source: Paras Griffin / Getty Brit Eady has filed a $20 million lawsuit against Bravo, claiming the network aired and promoted a false and damaging image that appeared to show her performing a sexual act. In court documents obtained by TMZ, Eady alleges that promotional posters handed out by Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kenya Moore during her salon opening in June 2024 falsely depicted Eady engaging in oral sex. Although Eady did not attend the event, she says she was blindsided by the image once it surfaced publicly, a moment that sparked immediate outrage and controversy. Following the incident, Moore was reportedly removed from the cast. RELATED: The Shade Assassin: Kenya Moore's Best 'RHOA' Moments Eady's lawsuit names Bravo, NBCUniversal, and the production companies Truly Original and Endemol Shine North America. She accuses them of defamation, sexual harassment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and fostering a hostile work environment. According to the suit, Bravo knowingly contributed to what Eady calls a 'gendered attack' and continued to air footage and cast commentary about the situation in an episode that aired in April 2025. The lawsuit also asserts that Bravo forced Eady to return to work despite the emotional toll the incident took on her. She claims she was subjected to offensive, sexualized behavior and remarks, making it difficult to continue working in that environment. Eady is now demanding the episode be removed from all platforms and is seeking at least $20 million in damages. She also publicly addressed the controversy on social media, denying she was the woman in the photo and confirming that she skipped the season's reunion taping.
