Richard Simmons' longtime housekeeper -- who's rarely been seen and never spoken publicly -- is addressing rumors about her kidnapping him, and also reveals ... they were kind of a couple.

Teresa Reveles just did her first-ever TV interview, telling TODAY she never held Richard against his will, as had been alleged when he vanished from public life. She laughed off that theory, and instead joke, "No, I think he kidnapped me."

Richard hired Teresa way back in 1988 and she moved in to his L.A. home ... and she says he fell in love with her right away and told her, "No, you're never going to leave me."

The person accusing Diddy of tossing a semen-soaked Notorious B.I.G. shirt on him is also claiming Puff had a notable accomplice acting as a henchman during a separate sexual assault -- Biggie's son, CJ Wallace!!!

According to the complaint filed during the 4th of July holiday, John Doe claims Biggie's son was among a group of men who lured him to a Revolt TV location in 2020 via a Combs Corporations' vehicle ... where he says he was then ambushed and led to another room where Diddy was waiting.

As John Doe's head was held by others, he claims Diddy attempted to stuff his penis into his mouth, all the while screaming at him that his days working for Bad Boy were over as punishment for clashing earlier.

Taylor Williams and Clarke Carraway were voted off "Love Island USA" this week when America decided who their favorite couple is so far -- their pairing was dead last, so they got a one-way ticket home ... but they tell us their relationship wasn't given a fair chance!!!

If there's anyone they'd sacrifice for a spot back on the island, they'd throw Huda Mustafa and her connection with Chris Seeley overboard without hesitation -- saying their relationship is way more genuine than people know, and Huda's stubbornness ruined what she had going with Chris ... nothing new for our problematic queen.

Huda has been blasted with intense heat this season, online and from other islanders. Taylor and Clarke think there's no chance of her rekindling the connection with Chris, because she's stubbornly hard-headed.

It's no secret "Love Island USA" dropped the ball on background checks this season -- Cierra Ortega and Yulissa Escobar each got the boot for their previous racist commentary -- and fans are furious these two women were platformed without the show doing proper research.
