A “Cancer Alley” resident is speaking out after the Trump administration dropped a federal lawsuit aimed at cutting toxic emissions … telling TMZ it’s upsetting but not surprising, given the president’s vow to dismantle so-called “radical” DEI programs.

Roxanne Keller joined us on “TMZ Live” Thursday, pointing out the highly polluted area of Louisiana known as Cancer Alley is a predominantly Black community, so she’s not shocked that a Biden-era lawsuit against the chemical company Denka Performance Elastomer was dismissed last week.

Roxanne developed fibroids after moving to the region at just 4 years old. She’s since lost both her parents and several family members to cancer over the years — all of whom lived in the area, which is known for its unacceptably high cancer risks due to major plant emissions.

The U.S. Dept. of Justice said in a statement the lawsuit was originally filed in “a clear example of the racial preferencing now prohibited by President Trump’s executive order,” and said the Biden admin sued the company in an “ideological overreach” based on racial preferencing.

Roxanne tells us with local kids now facing birth defects even she didn’t experience growing up, Trump’s anti-DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) executive order completely ignores the real crisis here … and the lawsuit’s dismissal is a slap in the face to the residents and scientists who have fought for justice for the community.

Roxanne also dives deeper into Denka’s claims the company has spent $35M to slash emissions by 85% — dubbing it BS, and alleging they’ve been falsifying reports and coercing community compliance … all while pointing to a recent scientific report that claims those cuts never happened.

Roxanne tells us at the end of the day, it’s all about corporate greed, with Denka caring more about protecting jobs than protecting lives — and the people of Cancer Alley are paying the ultimate price.

Austin Butler has joined an exclusive set of celebrities — those who have had items swiped from their homes … because TMZ has learned cops went to his pad recently after a break-in.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Austin’s security discovered a glass door was shattered on Monday, and, when a guard went inside the house, he noticed the place was ransacked.

We’re told responding cops searched the home but didn’t find any suspects inside.

Matt Pinfield says he’s recovering after ending up in a coma earlier this year … and, he’s crediting his daughter Jessica for his recovery — despite his girlfriend and brother’s misgivings.

The former MTV host spoke with The Hollywood Reporter … and, he says he’s recovering after his scary hospitalization, which left him unresponsive for two months — with doctors even fearing he’d never walk or talk again.

As we told you … Matt’s daughter Jessica filed for a temporary conservatorship to take guardianship of his financial and medical decisions — and, Matt says Jessica is “the one who saved my life. She protected me.”

This is a strong statement of support for his daughter … ’cause Pinfield’s girlfriend, Kara Brown, and his brother, Glenn, claimed Jessica was icing them out — and, they said Matt was far more responsive than Jessica had them believe when they went to visit him in the hospital.

Kara and Glenn went as far as filing legal documents to fight Jessica’s appointment as temporary conservator after Jessica claimed she was worried Kara planned to empty Matt’s bank accounts.

However, it sounds like Matt’s saying he was in serious trouble for many months … battling pneumonia and ending up on a ventilator — but, the support from family, fans and friends helped him get through.

Pinfield told THR he’s looking to be released from the hospital later this month if all goes according to plan.
