Dick Button, America’s first Olympic gold medalist in figure skating, is dead, and the legend’s passing comes on what was already a dark day for the sport.

Button died Thursday in the Upstate New York town of North Salem … according to his children, who first confirmed his death in the Washington Post.

Perhaps no one in history’s had more of an impact on U.S. figure skating than DB, who first dominated as a competitor in the 1940s and 1950s … and then became a longtime broadcaster covering the sport around the world.

Dick almost literally put America on the figure skating map — at a time when European countries dominated — when he won his first of 5 consecutive world figure skating titles in 1948. That was also the year he won his first gold medal, at the age of 18. He remains the youngest man to ever achieve Olympic gold in figure skating.

He struck gold a second time, at the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo, and did it with some serious flare — becoming the first person to land a triple jump, a triple loop to be exact, on his way to the medal stand.

After that Dick went pro … scoring a massive (for the time) $150,000 contract with the Ice Capades. Might not sound like much now, but it made him one of the world’s highest paid athletes — and then, in 1960, he started a legendary career in broadcasting.

He covered the Winter Olympics that year for CBS, before jumping to ABC’s “Wide World of Sports” … where he really became the voice of figure skating for generations of athletes and fans.

Dick was beloved for the fact he called it as he saw it, and had no issues calling a skater’s program ugly, or as he once labeled an Olympic performance, “slapped together.” His final stint covering the Olympics came in 2010 during the Vancouver games.

He still holds 2 U.S. men’s records — his 2 Olympic gold medals, and his 7 national championships.

In what feels like eerie timing, the undisputed icon of American skating died on the same day the sport mourned the deaths of the talented young skaters who were on American Airlines 5342, which crashed Wednesday night into the Potomac River after colliding with a military helicopter. Fourteen people in the figure skating world — skaters, coaches and parents — were onboard the flight which took off from Wichita, where this year’s U.S. Figure Skating Championship was held.

Button is survived by his 2 children. He was 95.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing new allegations from federal prosecutors, who’ve now added 2 new victims to the case … and accused him of a much longer reign of terror.

The new filing — known as a superseding indictment — adds “Victim-2” and “Victim-3” … both of whom are women. Previously the feds had only listed “Victim-1,” who is clearly Diddy’s ex, Cassie, based on Diddy’s own attorneys connecting her to the infamous hallway beating video.

According to the new docs, Diddy allegedly transported all 3 women to “engage in prostitution” … which is one of the charges he was already facing from the original indictment.

Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo says, “The latest Indictment contains no new offenses. The prosecution’s theory remains flawed. The government has added the ridiculous theory that two of Mr. Combs’ former girlfriends were not girlfriends at all but were prostitutes.  Mr. Combs is as committed as ever to fighting these charges and winning at trial.”

Soulja Boy is threatening to come after Bhad Bhabie both legally and physically after the Internet personality made allegedly false claims about his personal life.

Here’s the skinny … in her new diss track “Over Cooked,” Bhad Bhabie accused rival Alabama Barker of trying to steal her baby daddy, Le Vaughn, in addition to having intimate relations with both Soulja and Tyga — who Bhabie claimed got Alabama pregnant.

Both Alabama and Tyga swiftly denied the allegations … and now, Soulja has entered the chat with a denial of his own.

Soulja took to Instagram Live after the release of “Over Cooked,” where he popped off on an expletive-filled rant — in which he called the 21-year-old a “crackhead” and a “crack baby” for suggesting he hooked up with Travis Barker‘s daughter.

As he continued, Soulja warned he’d “smack the f*** out of [her]” if she falsely spoke out about him again … and went as far as to say he was now considering suing her for the hookup rumor.

He added … “And I’m suing your ass, bitch. And I want all my money, too. Defamation of character. You lied on my name to the Internet. I want $10 million cash.”

Later on, Soulja accused Bhabie of making the NSFW claim after he previously denied her own advances.

It’s unclear if Soulja really means business with his threat … but Bhabie has already reuploaded her song, with Soulja and Tyga’s names now censored out.

Though, Bhabie indicated in her song that she was bracing herself for some potential legal action … from Alabama, at the very least.

She rapped at the end of the track … “You can’t put your lawyers on me ’cause everything that I’m sayin’ is factual.”

A rep for Bhad Bhabie tells TMZ … “We are aware of the video circulating, but we do not condone any form of violence or threats. While some may view it as a joke or simply entertaining, men threatening women or making light of domestic violence is exactly why these issues are so often dismissed. Even though emotions are high, violence or threats against women should never be the answer.”
