Imani Dia Smith — a former child actor who starred in “The Lion King” on Broadway — has died.

According to a press release issued by Middlesex County, New Jersey, prosecutor Yolanda Ciccone and Edison Police Department chief Thomas Bryan, Smith was found Sunday in a residence in Edison, N.J. with stab wounds. She was reportedly pronounced dead at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick.

The press release says Smith’s boyfriend, Jordan D. Jackson-Small, was arrested and charged in connection with the stabbing death.

Small, 35, was reportedly charged with first-degree murder, second-degree endangering the welfare of a child, third-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and fourth-degree unlawful possession of a weapon.

According to Playbill, Smith played Young Nala in “The Lion King” from September 27, 2011, to September 23, 2012.

According to a GoFundMe set up for the family, Smith is survived by a 3-year-old son.

She was 26.

There’s even more Epstein documents coming — more than a million in fact … that’s according to a post Wednesday from the U.S. Department of Justice.

The DOJ reports the FBI and Attorney for the Southern District of New York have given them the new trove of documents to “review for release.”

They wrote, “We have lawyers working around the clock to review and make the legally required redactions to protect victims, and we will release the documents as soon as possible. Due to the mass volume of material, this process may take a few more weeks. The Department will continue to fully comply with federal law and President Trump’s direction to release the files.”

This new stockpile of files could contain names and images of celebrities never-before linked to Jeffrey Epstein.

As you know … we’ve already seen some huge names in the files, including that of Donald J. Trump. We reported Tuesday that there’s a document where someone apparently told authorities Trump and Jeffery Epstein raped a female.

When we reached out to The White House, they referred us to a DOJ statement that some of the evidence in the files is sensationalized and false, especially claims “made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election.”

Alaska Airlines doesn’t give in to purr-pressure — that’s what Alexandra Compton found out on a recent flight home for the holidays … and she told TMZ it might be because they’re dog people.

Alexandra — a 35-year-old bartender now known as ‘2 Cat Karen’ — got into a standoff with airline staff in Las Vegas when they refused to let her board with her 2 cats in the same carrier.

She tells TMZ … on December 21 she was travelling from Vegas to Portland to go back home for the holidays on a flight with her cats Phoenix and Blaze. According to Alexandra, the airline caused a fuss over the cats being in the same carrier, but she’s travelled with Alaska Airlines in the same carrier many times before.

“A man in charge came down from an office and didn’t even look at the cats,” Alexandra told us. “He made the decision I needed to book another seat and get another carrier or I couldn’t fly with them. Because he didn’t look at the cats, it made me think he was a dog person. It was giving he had a golden retriever at home.”

ICYMI … a viral video shows Alexandra melting down at the airport, saying, “You’re telling me I can’t go home for Christmas right now. You understand that? Do you understand that? I am about to start crying.”

We’re told Alexandra’s mom booked the flight for her unaware of any restrictions that could hinder her travel plans.

“I’ve traveled many years with these two fine cats,” she insisted.

Staff proposed it was probably with another airline.

Alexandra later took to Facebook, continuing her disappointment, writing, “F*** Alaska Airline their ‘policies’ and lack of customer service. I hope you all get coal for Christmas.”

The thing is — and you’re not going to believe this … she might be RIGHT!

According to the “Pets in Cabin” policy from the Alaska Airlines website, “Up to two pets of the same species and similar size may travel in the same carrier, provided no body parts protrude from the carrier and the animals are not in distress.”
