The worker who yelled “pedophile protector” at President Donald Trump during his visit to a Ford plant in Michigan Tuesday has been suspended.

40-year-old TJ Sabula, a United Auto Workers Local 600 line worker at the factory, told The Washington Post he is the one who shouted at the prez … and says he has since been suspended from work as they investigate the incident.

Sabula told the outlet … “I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity. And today I think I did that.”

He feels no remorse about the scene he caused, telling WP … “As far as calling him out, definitely no regrets whatsoever.” However, he is concerned about his job and future employment, telling the Post he feels he was “targeted for political retribution” for “embarrassing Trump in front of his friends.”

He told the Washington Post he was yelling specifically about the Epstein Files.

We showed you the video — a man yelled out at Trump as he was walking through the factory … and it clearly got under his skin. In response, the 47th President of the United States mouthed “F*** you” to the man before flipping him off.

Just like Sabula has no regrets about the ideal, Trump didn’t either. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung justified his reaction, telling TMZ … “A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response.”

Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval are turning over a new leaf, or so it seems … because it appears they reached a settlement in a legal beef over the house they shared before their epic split.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the parties reached a conditional settlement of the lawsuit Ariana filed back in January 2024, when she was trying to force a sale of their shared home.

It’s unclear what the terms of the settlement are … the docs just say some unspecified terms must be satisfied under the settlement agreement before the case is officially dismissed.

We broke the story … Ariana sued Tom over the Los Angeles house they co-own. They lived there when they were a couple, but Ariana wanted to sell it and split the money in the wake of their breakup over his cheating scandal.

It’s been a little over 2 years since Ariana filed … they bought the place together back in 2019 for around $2 million … and a few weeks after Ariana took him to court, Tom claimed he’d made her a $3.1 million cash offer.

We reached out to reps for Ariana and Tom to get more details on the settlement … so far, no word back.

Fresh off her Golden Globe win for best supporting actress, Teyana Taylor wasted no time celebrating her next hit movie, “The Rip” — with none other than her costars Matt Damon and Ben Affleck!

TMZ obtained exclusive video of “The Rip” after party at The Glasshouse in NYC following the film’s premiere at Alice Tully Hall on Tuesday night.

As you can see, Teyana first chats with Ben off to the side, and they seem totally at ease with each other. In fact, at the end of their discussion, Ben gives Teyana a little hug and a pat on the back.

Then Teyana has a convo with Matt, and their unmistakable chemistry is on full display. During their exchange, the two are chuckling and give each other a big embrace before going their separate ways.

Earlier in the night, the actors walked the red carpet at “The Rip” premiere …  and they looked amazing. Matt and Ben wore snazzy dark suits while Teyana was dressed in a sculpted Ashi Studio gown with a mask covering her nose and mouth.

And it was a family affair for Matt … his 4 daughters — Alexia, 25, Isabella, 19, Gia, 17, and Stella, 15 — all came out to support their famous dad.

As for Teyana …  she’s killing it lately, winning a Golden Globe this past weekend for Best Supporting Actress for her role in “One Battle After Another.” Now, she’s costarring with Matt and Ben in “The Rip.”
