A trans military helicopter pilot says she’s the victim of a right-wing defamatory attack by a popular social media influencer … just minutes after a Black Hawk helicopter crashed into an American Airlines jet … killing all 67 people on board both aircrafts.

Jo Ellis is a Black Hawk helicopter pilot with the Virginia Army National Guard claims in a new lawsuit, she was smeared as the pilot involved in the tragic crash. Ellis says Matt Wallace, an influencer with 2.3 million followers, posted her picture and claimed she was the pilot of the doomed Black Hawk, alleging it was a “trans terror attack.”

Wallace claimed Ellis intentionally crashed the chopper into the jet due to her “depression” and “Gender Dysphoria.”

Once she learned about the post, she posted a “proof of life” video in an attempt to shut down the narrative. She says Wallace then tried to shift the blame to another influencer on X.

Ellis says due to the hate generated by Wallace’s post, she fears for the safety of her family and herself. She says she’s had to hire a security detail and now carries a gun.

The Cyrus fam’s back to their groove, ’cause Miley Cyrus‘ mom Tish and sister Noah just dropped a super fun vid, busting moves and flashing grins like there was never any supposed beef between them.

Noah posted a TikTok clip Sunday showing her and Tish vibing to “Pop Muzik” by M, with her caption, “Mommyyy. Guess who’s replacing Brandi @Sorry We’re Cyrus” — jokingly hinting she’s stepping in to cohost her mom’s podcast with her.

As we spilled over a year ago, the rumor mill was buzzing with accusations that Tish swiped her now-hubby, Dominic Purcell, right from under Noah’s nose.

Apparently, Noah and Dominic had a thing going before he ended up in Tish’s arms — so her absence from her mom and Dom’s Malibu wedding in August 2023 seemed to make a little more sense.

But it looks like the mother-daughter duo might’ve been patching things up for a while now — Noah posted a birthday tribute to Tish last May, right after a sweet Mother’s Day shout-out.

Superstar rapper Nicki Minaj is the latest high-profile target of a “swatting” call this week … as law enforcement personnel swarmed her L.A.-area property Wednesday night responding to a report of a shooting at her house.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … shortly after 7 PM yesterday, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Dept. received a call reporting an assault at a residence in Hidden Hills, where Nicki lives.

Deputies rushed to the scene … where they found no one at home, and no issues in the area.

The Los Angeles Times reports an unidentified person called the sheriff’s business line — not 911 — to report someone had shot a Black woman at Nicki’s address, and two people were still at the scene. The call was later classified as swatting.

Minaj has previously dealt with being the target of swatting — in which a caller reports an incident in order to provoke a massive law enforcement response at their target — in August and July 2023 … L.A. County deputies were told someone had been shot at her house, and in the July incident, that Nicki’s child was being abused.

The caller in Wednesday night’s incident has not been identified.

This follows a tragic swatting event in Atlanta, in which a 911 caller told police a naked woman was being assaulted at a residence where rapper Young Scooter was present — when officers responded, he ran out the back and ended up tearing a femoral artery jumping a fence … and later died as a result of the injury. No illegal activity was found at the house. That caller was later identified as a one-time reality TV contestant, and she was arrested and charged with making a false report to police.
