Ian Ziering is facing an ugly reminder of a New Year’s Eve incident from two years ago … he’s being sued for assault and battery stemming from a 2023 brawl on a Hollywood street with motorcyclists.

Jacob Hernandez, who says he was one of the bikers involved in the physical altercation, is dragging the “Beverly Hills, 90210” alum for intentional infliction of emotional distress, malicious prosecution, negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress … this according to a civil complaint filed in Los Angeles Monday and obtained by TMZ.

In the filing, Hernandez laid out his POV of what went down … saying he and his pals were driving on their mini-motorbikes between cars on Hollywood Blvd. on December 31, 2023. At one point, he says, they waited for a safe time to change lanes and stopped in front of a Mercedes-Benz, which Ziering was driving. Hernandez claims that’s when Ziering stepped out of his car and “with full force shoved” him … which Hernandez claims caused physical injuries to him and his vehicle.

Hernandez reiterates traffic was stopped at the time and insists he was “not impeding the flow of traffic in any way” when Ziering allegedly became aggressive toward him. He also claims he did not his the Mercedes. TMZ published video days after the altercation which does appear to show Ziering shoving the man.

Hernandez, however, ended up being arrested in May 2024 for felony vandalism related to the incident. He claims Ziering gave “misleading information” to cops and also used his star power to completely flip the situation. Hernandez was held on $50,000 bail and released, and the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office declined to press charges.

Hernandez says he and his bike fell into his friend when Ziering pushed them, allegedly causing damage to their bodies and their vehicles. Additionally, he claims he’s suffered from “significant mental health issues” since the altercation, fueled by his character being tainted so publicly.

For instance, Hernandez says Ziering spoke about the incident in interviews and on social media, and Hernandez feels he was made out to be the aggressor and publicly humiliated. He says he now has extreme anxiety, paranoia and struggles to sleep, plus has frequent panic attacks — especially when he hears sirens.

Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers are one step closer to being evicted after racking up $84,000 in unpaid rent at a Los Angeles rental home.

The estranged couple once lived together at the Calabasas residence … but a judge handed down a decision Friday granting possession of the abode to the landlord. In mid-December, the landlord filed a request with the court, asking for the property back because the pair had defaulted on their rent payments.

In court docs, Aaron claims he’s on the verge of homelessness and needs to access money from accounts he shares with Denise to pay bills.

Cardi B is urging fans to check themselves as they hound her over her relationship with Stefon Diggs — telling them to quit being “mean” as she navigates parenthood with him and prepares for her upcoming tour.

Check out her lengthy social media video from Monday night — she lays it out plain and simple for her haters, noting … “I can’t change s**t. I can’t go back in time. I already had a baby.”

She hilariously continues … “Y’all want me to put my baby back in my p***y? Huh? I don’t know what y’all want me to do. Y’all want me to leave my man and f**k yours?”

As you know, Cardi and the New England Patriots player welcomed a baby boy together in November after going public with their romance in May. She’s also the mom of 3 children with her estranged husband, Offset — daughters Kulture, 7, and Blossom, 1, and son Wave, 4.
