TMZ sure does have some odd wording at times.....Sully. When was the last time you read that in a headline? It's just an old-fashioned word, in my humble opinion. So I started thinking about the word itself. To "sully" something is to stain, to mess etc. That's how it reads. But, also there are a couple of other things:
1) Sully is the nickname of the US Airways captain that landed in the Hudson River:

2) Sully is a character in Monster's Inc:

wasn't there something with the kids about Monster's Inc? A note, an interview...

I don't have any more time right now......the word Sully was just bugging me for some reason. TMZ's wording is very carefully chosen...or so it seems.
Blessings to all......
