Ex-NBA player Rick Brunson is being sued over an alleged violent sexual incident with an Illinois masseuse ... despite the fact he was found not guilty last year, TMZ Sports has learned.

Brunson's case made headlines in 2014 when he was arrested for sexual assault and other charges ... after a masseuse claimed he tried to force her to perform oral sex at the end of a massage.

Long story short ... the woman claimed Brunson pulled down her shirt, grabbed her boobs and tried to force her head into his crotch.

Brunson maintained his innocence -- and was eventually found not guilty on all charges.

Now, the masseuse has taken her case to civil court ... where she's demanding more than $50,000 for intentional infliction of emotional distress, battery and gender violence.

Johnny Manziel's party pal OVO Ryan is officially off the hook in a hit and run investigation stemming from a crash on the Sunset Strip ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Good news for Chad Ochocinco -- his ex-wife Evelyn Lozada says she "totally forgives" him for headbutting her during their infamous 2012 domestic violence incident.

Looking to pack on some BIG MUSCLE while cutting a few corners at the same time?

Screw needles and deer antler spray ... it's all about MEXICAN STEAK ... so says the NFL.

Seriously, the NFL just sent a letter out to the players warning them about eating large quantities of meat products in Mexico and China because they may contain banned substances.

"There is evidence that some meat produced in China and Mexico may be contaminated with clenbuterol, an anabolic agent which is banned by the NFL Policy on Performance Enhancing Substances. "

"Consuming large quantities of meat while visiting those particular countries may result in a positive test for clenbuterol in violation of the Policy."

If players DO eat the meat and test positive, the NFL says ... tough luck, you're still screwed.

So, how are the players reacting? AZ Cardinals D-lineman Frostee Rucker says, "So let me get this straight. We have to go #vegan if we travel out of the country because there's #PEDS in #CarneAsada?"

He added a few hastags ... "#MissMeWithThat #TacoTuesday #Loyal #cabowabo #NFL #11thYear #DontEatLeague #testforGMO."

Patrick Peterson is also clowning the situation ... writing, "This can't be real life! #SMH #GottaGoVeganOnVacation."

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau has plunged Canada into a world war of international trash talk ... with a video he made calling out the U.S. and Great Britain.

Those two countries have been embroiled in a NATO-threatening battle of words since last Friday ... all because of the Invictus games -- an international sporting competition between wounded servicemen.

Barack & Michelle Obama fired the first smack shot via social media, calling out Great Britain ... and dropping the mic.

Of course the Brits would never surrender or appease (lol) ... so Prince Harry struck back -- and brought the FREAKIN' QUEEN HERSELF into it ... who royally scoffed at Obama's shot.

We gotta say ... kudos to the Canucks for actually having your PM himself hit the deck for a couple of pushies ... which makes the mic drop a little more swag.

Dana Stubblefield was married at the time of his sexual encounter with a babysitter -- but his wife has since filed for divorce ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The job application that piqued Dana Stubblefield's attention is bizarre to say the least -- with the woman strangely touting her penchant for "zumba" ... to get a job as a BABYSITTER.

Both Stubblefield and the accuser have acknowledged that Dana found the woman through the SitterCity.com babysitter website ... and liked her profile so much, he called her to his home for an interview.

But the profile, handed out by Stubblefield's legal team, is odd -- starting with the fact the woman claims she's 32 years old ... with 29 years of paid experience as a babysitter.

Plus, here's what she wrote under the "Bio" section -- "I like walking with a dog and kids. I like zumba. I need a job, I need payment doctor, dentist, sick, gas, phone, tax, light. I'm learning a zumba I want be zumba job. I like mall and nice restaurant."

Stubblefield's attorneys have also included an "About Me" section from the woman's Facebook profile. Here's how it reads:

Under "Work and Education" she lists -- "I fuller feeling lose weight."

Under "Places She's Lived" she writes -- "Be sexy dress nice dress-up."

Under "Contact and Basic Info" -- "DJ, sexy, drunk, zumba, dance and exercise, sometime had fun time."

Under "Family and Relationships" -- "no money gas."

Sources connected to the case tell us English does not appear to be the woman's first language.

9:52 AM PST -- Dana Stubblefield has addressed the media -- and adamantly denied raping the woman ... saying, "I am completely innocent of all these allegations."

He continued, "This is an issue that is very close to me. One of my primary charities is Special Olympics, something that is true and dear to my heart. That is why these allegations hurt me so badly. I'm not a perfect man, however these allegations coming against me coming a year after a consensual encounter with another woman are all totally false."

"I will defend myself with all of my strength."

Stubblefield's attorney says the ex-NFL star was arrested in front of his children's school Monday in front of his children. The attorney says the arrest was part of a plan to humiliate Stubblefield and sensationalize the case.

Stubblefield's attorney has implied the D.A. waited more than a year to charge Stubblefield because he wants to run for Attorney General of California and wanted the case to be closer to the election.

Dana Stubblefield's attorney says the woman accusing him of rape is NOT mentally disabled and absolutely has the ability to give consent to sex ... and he says they can prove it.

As we previously reported, prosecutors say the accuser has a "mental disorder and developmental and physical disability" which prevents her from being able to give legal consent to sex.

Stubblefield was even charged with rape with someone incapable of giving consent.

But we spoke with Ken Rosenfeld who tells us ... it's just not true.

In fact, Rosenfeld says the woman has a criminal history and has accepted plea deals in the past -- and judges wouldn't have let a mentally disabled person do that.

Rosenfeld says the woman also ran an Avon business in the past -- further proving she's a competent person.

Rosenfeld says the district attorney is claiming the woman has a speech impediment -- which they are considering a mental disability. Rosenfeld says it's pure BS.

Floyd Mayweather doesn't care how famous you are -- he's gonna talk smack right to your face ... just ask rapper Jim Jones.

The two squared off in a 2-on-2 hoops game in Miami -- and Floyd let his mouth run ... guaranteeing victory over the "We Fly High" rapper.

Jones didn't just stand and take it -- he returned the smack talk ... and a pretty intense game broke out.

Caitlyn Jenner is NOT slowing down in her sixties -- in fact, she can now hit 60 mph in under 4 seconds flat in the sick new Porsche she just bought.

Caitlyn picked up her Porsche 911 GT3 RS in Woodland Hills, CA on Monday, and it must have been a real quick ride home. The whip goes zero to 60 in 3.1 seconds!

We're told she ordered the ride -- which retails for about $176k -- months ago. It's street legal, but make no mistake, it's built for the track ... and 66-year-old Caitlyn does love racing. She recently nabbed a 3rd place finish.

Both Future and Ciara were at the fake adult prom Met Gala thing in NY Monday night ... but who wasn't there? Ciara's very real fiance Russell Wilson.

Two dead bodies were discovered in a trailer at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday -- following a NASCAR race ... officials say.

Investigators are currently trying to figure out what killed the two men -- who appeared to have been dead for roughly 6 or 7 hours when they were discovered Sunday afternoon in the campground area of the speedway.

We're told there was a 3rd person who was in town with the men for the event -- and that person discovered the bodies when he had returned to the trailer after the race.

Officials say they do not suspect foul play. We're also told it does not appear to be a case of carbon monoxide poisoning.

We spoke with the coroner and asked if drugs or alcohol were involved -- we were told to contact law enforcement. So far, no comment from cops.

A world record setting paralympic swimmer has been DISQUALIFIED from a race at the IPC European Championships ... all because he didn't cover up a tattoo of the Olympic rings on his chest.

The swimmer is British legend Josef Craig -- who set the world record for the 400m freestyle at the 2012 Summer Paralympics.

19-year-old Craig -- who has cerebral palsy -- was competing at the 100m freestyle at the IPC race in Portugal on Sunday (and WON his heat) ... but was disqualified immediately following the race.

A spokesman for the event said the Olympic rings tat violated a "body advertising" ban -- "the athlete did not wear a cover and was therefore disqualified."

Ex-NFL star Dana Stubblefield says he's NO RAPIST -- claiming the allegations he sexually assaulted a mentally disabled woman are "false and fraudulent."

Before Sam Hunt became a country music mega-star, he was thiiiis close to being an NFL quarterback. So we had to ask -- would you trade your singing career to be Tom Brady???

If you didn't know ... Hunt was a real deal college football player at UAB -- good enough to get a tryout with the Kansas City Chiefs (see the highlights below).

Hunt says the NFL just wasn't in the cards, but told us he still misses the game a whole helluva lot.

So, we had to ask ... if some crazy Zoltar-style machine ("Big" reference) could change things and give you the exact same success in football as you're having in music -- would you do it???

Watch the clip ... think he's telling the truth?

Listen up, Kelly Ripa ... your on-air war with Michael Strahan could have a happy ending ... 'cause another NFL star says he's willing to take Strahan's spot in the host chair ... for a fraction of the price.
