Paul Rodriguez is having some bad luck, because he keeps getting linked to fentanyl … and things have already turned deadly.

TMZ has learned … Paul’s best friend who was found dead inside the comedian’s home back in November died from a fentanyl overdose.

According to the Medical Examiner … Paul’s friend Donald Serrato died from the combined effects of fentanyl, PCP and methamphetamine.

We broke the story … Paul told us his friend was staying with him for a few days when he died. Paul said he left the house one morning to go work on a Hollywood set and he called Donald around noon to see if he wanted to grab lunch and got no response. Paul says he called his GF to go check on Donald and she found him dead in the house.

Paul is now at war with the Burbank Police Department over a recent arrest for alleged narcotics possession. He was busted as part of a traffic stop involving a car a female friend was driving.

As we’ve told you … cops say they searched the car and found drugs in the woman’s purse … and our law enforcement sources say officers found suspected fentanyl and police are currently running tests on the substance.

Paul, through his attorney, previously denied being in possession of any controlled substance in regards to his arrest.

We reached out to Paul’s camp about his friend’s fentanyl death … so far no word back.

Before this lil girlie sippin’ on her baby bottle turned into an on-stage performer who tops the music charts, she was just tossin’ back the milk, and growing up in Wisconsin and Virginia … before movin’ to sunny Los Angeles at 14 years old.

Upon her SoCal arrival, she adopted her stage name which is not to be disclosed at this time , however when you listen to her music you better turn up the volume to the MAX!

“Oh, she’s sweet but a psycho, a little bit psycho!” … Her words, not ours !

An Illinois teacher accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old student she tutored allegedly began messaging him using a digital school platform, which prosecutors say ramped up into flirtatious texts … and a sexual encounter inside a classroom.

Christina Formella first got together with the student in 2023 when she was his freshman soccer coach at Downers Grove South High School … this according to court documents, obtained by TMZ.

The docs say Formella started privately tutoring the alleged victim after he broke his collarbone. Prosecutors say Formella then gave him her number so they could play “8-Ball Pool” on their phones. The pair then allegedly exchanged provocative texts, followed by a FaceTime meeting between the student and Formella.

The docs say both later acknowledged to each other what they did was wrong, and they never had sex again, and spoke for the last time in February 2024.

Cops say the student’s mom found the lurid text messages on her son’s phone and reported them to the police department, which started the criminal investigation that led to Formella’s arrest the next day, on March 16, 2025.
