If you haven’t heard, Sean “Diddy” Combs — and likely much of Hollywood — is in hot water after the U.S. Justice Department unsealed charges against the famous rapper.
The charges allege that he abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.
Diddy reportedly accomplished this by relying on the employees and influence of the multifaceted business empire that he led and controlled. Under his leadership, this business empire became a “criminal enterprise” that allegedly included sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.
Prosecutors have alleged that Diddy “engaged in persistent and pervasive patterns of abuse towards women and other individuals.”
Diddy also threw and engaged in “sex parties” that were referred to as “freak offs” — which apparently could last for days. At these parties, commercial sex workers allegedly were transported across state and international lines, women allegedly were forced to engage in extended sex acts with male commercial sex workers, and heavy drug use allegedly was involved.
Since these allegations came to light, many celebrities have begun deleting their social media feeds.
“Suddenly now, a bunch of big-time musicians have deleted their Twitter accounts. Usher’s Twitter account has disappeared,” Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” tells Clay Travis, noting that Pink’s account disappeared as well.
“The whole thing sounds like a honeypot,” he adds.
Travis believes it “feels Epstein-esque.”
“There was video being made of sex acts that may have been used for blackmail going forward, and the fact that he has not been able to get out on bail,” he continues, adding, “I think Diddy’s going to get killed.”

Singer and performer Pink criticized a 14-year-old YouTuber's mother for allowing her daughter to parade around in skimpy bikinis and flaunt her figure all over the internet, but the teen hit back and said that her mother supports her "dream" every step of the way.
Piper Rockelle, 14, caught the eye of Pink — real name Alecia Beth Moore — earlier this week, and Pink, a 41-year-old mom of two children, took to Twitter to criticize Piper's mother for allowing her young, impressionable daughter to engage in potentially dangerous behavior.
Pink tweeted, "How many kids like Piper Rockelle are being exploited by their parents? And at what point do the rest of us say … 'this isn't okay for a 13 yr old to be posing in a bikini whilst her MOTHER takes the photo?!?!'"

Pink's tweet raised eyebrows on social media, prompting Piper to speak out to TMZ in her mother's defense, Page Six reported.
“The first thing I want everyone to know is that my mom doesn't make me do anything. Quite the opposite," the teen YouTuber told the entertainment outlet. “I'm a kid who had a dream, and my mom is amazing enough to help me live it out."
She added, "I know there are kids who are being taken advantage of and that's a real problem, but I'm not one of them."
Piper also defended the content of her YouTube page, which boasts more than 5 million followers.
"I don't think Pink has ever seen one of my YouTube videos because if she did, she'd see it's just my friends and me having fun and acting like ourselves," she said. "The content we make is the kind of stuff anyone can watch."
Piper's mother, Tiffany Rockelle, added that she'll always protect her daughter.
"Since Piper was a child, she has had a strong love of performing and she has always had a dream," Rockelle told Today Parents. "So long as Piper wants to do this and it's her passion, I'm here for her to follow that dream and protect her."
Pink wasn't the only one who took issue with the young girls presentation, and one social media user responded that the teen's "sexualized pictures of her in Google are horrifying[.]"
"Thank you Pink for bringing attention to this, hopefully is a wake up call to people in Hollywood and regulations," one wrote, according to Page Six.
Another added, “My God. When I was 13 I was dancing to Backstreet Boys in my room and kissing my poster goodnight every single night. I grew up accordingly, not light years ahead of my time. Shame on the parents for allowing this. Anyone can be parents. Scary world!"
