Hi Brittany. While the article does connect to the claim, TMZ is not always the most reliable source for accurate details and information and not known to be the most ethical.

While your information is right, TMZ is a sketchy source. They're a tabloid news site with a history of lying not limited to JFK being alive (https://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/celebrity/tmz-falls-jfk-photo-hoax) and celberties dying while still being alive. (https://www.tmz.com/2022/10/26/jerry-lee-lewis-not-dead/)

I think your comment could be helped if you used a more reliable source than TMZ, while sometimes correct they are known to have flawed or just incorrect answers.

The TMZ  article https://www.tmz.com/2024/10/08/love-island-usa-hannah-smith-arrest-threatening-kill-cop/ mentions her being arrested and taken to jail.   Arrest records are public record, did you try to see if there was an arrest record?  This would clarify the truthfulness of the story.

Other sources (USA TODAY are reporting on this as well, including the charges Hannah was given and also mentioned that she punched an emergency services person while they were attempting to detain her.
