Diddy: Fraudulent prosecution or evader of justice?



A jury found Sean “Diddy” Combs guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, but the rap mogul was acquitted of the most serious charges in his federal criminal trial.

While Combs still faces up to 20 years in prison for the two counts on which he’s been convicted, America is divided on whether or not justice has been served.

“I believe that he’s the victim. As crazy as that sounds, I believe that Diddy is the victim,” Anton Daniels tells BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock on “Fearless.”


“And this trial has basically proven that he is. Anybody that followed it from the time that they first announced the charges all the way up until, you know, they read the verdict, you can tell that this was basically an opportunity for the federal government to try to get a win,” Daniels continues.

“And not only did they try to get a win, they got a win on top of the fact that he had to pay Cassie, on top of the fact that she was also the Bonnie to his Clyde,” he argues, adding, “And people automatically jumped on it, and they automatically tried to convict him also in the court of public opinion.”

Daniels also doesn’t believe Diddy received a fair trial, as “all the jurors had already been familiar with every piece of evidence that they were trying to present against him.”

“They were already painting him as a negative person before he ever even set foot inside of the court. They didn’t give him bail. They let him sit in jail, and then they also tried to leverage Cassie in order to get a bunch of other people to file lawsuits,” he explains, adding, “Last I checked, being extra freaky wasn’t a crime.”

Delano Squires disagrees, saying he wouldn’t call Diddy a “victim.”

“His behavior is part of the reason he ended up in this particular situation,” Squires argues. “He was hiring men to sleep with women that he was involved with.”

“I get Anton’s point in terms of him being overcharged and the perception that he was railroaded, but Diddy’s behavior is what put him in this particular situation,” he adds.

Diddy verdict brings tears: Sean Combs acquitted on most serious charges in explosive trial — but he's not off the hook yet



Hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs avoided spending the rest of his life in prison after he was acquitted Wednesday on the most serious charges he was facing in his explosive trial. However, Combs still faces the possibility of going to prison after he was convicted on two charges.

Combs was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges in connection with accusations that he operated a criminal enterprise that coerced women into sex-fueled "freak-offs" that often included prostitutes.

'Mr. Combs has been given his life by the jury.'

However, a jury of eight men and four women convicted Diddy on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He now faces a maximum of 20 years in prison if he is sentenced to consecutive maximum prison terms, according to CNN.

The Associated Press reported that Combs wiped his face, knelt at his chair, and bowed his head in prayer following the verdict in the high-profile court case.

Combs stood up and faced the gallery and clapped. He also pumped his right fist subtly, CNN reported.

Combs' family applauded back, and some family members reportedly wiped tears rolling down their faces.

“I’ll be home soon,” Combs said. “I love you, baby.”

He added, "I love you, Mom."

Combs reportedly hugged defense lawyer Teny Geragos.

After marshals escorted Combs out of the courtroom, his family started to chant “dream team” in a show of appreciation for the lawyers who helped him avoid the two most serious charges.

Geragos hugged members of Combs’ family as well.

Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo told Judge Arun Subramanian, "Mr. Combs has been given his life by the jury."

Agnifilo also urged Judge Subramanian to release the 55-year-old rapper before his sentencing, stressing that Combs would be "nothing short of a fool" if he jeopardized his future by violating the conditions set by the court if he was released.

“He treasures, I assure you, the opportunity that he has been given, and he will not run afoul of anything this court imposes on him,” Agnifilo explained.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Maurene Comey said the government opposes setting Diddy free before sentencing.

Comey argued that Combs "continued to commit a litany of crimes” after he knew authorities were investigating him.

Comey also said the government would seek a prison sentence for the two charges for which he was convicted.

Judge Subramanian instructed the defense attorneys and prosecutors to submit letters regarding the possible release of Diddy before sentencing, and the letters reportedly are due by 1 p.m. ET Wednesday.

Diddy has been behind bars since his arrest in September.

Doug Wigdor, the attorney representing Diddy's former girlfriend Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, told reporters Wednesday that he's pleased with the two convictions.

"Of course, we would have liked to have seen a conviction on the sex crimes and RICO, but we understand that ‘beyond a reasonable doubt’ is a high standard," Wigdor stated. "We’re just pleased he still faces substantial jail time."

Sex, drugs, and exploding cars: Cassie Ventura drops bombshell allegations against Diddy in sex trafficking trial



The celebrity trial of hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs continued Thursday and featured singer Casandra "Cassie" Ventura facing cross-examination from Diddy's lawyers.

Combs, 55, faces one count of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, and two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion.

'You treat me like Ike Turner.'

Combs has denied the allegations against him and pleaded not guilty to all charges.

On Thursday, jurors were shown text messages between Cassie and Diddy sent in 2009, which showed Ventura telling Combs that the "freak-off" sex parties made her feel "dirty and grimy." She spoke with Combs about their "swingers’ lifestyle" but noted that the drug-fueled sex marathons with "dozens and dozens" of prostitutes were "very different."

Cassie reportedly sent a text message to Combs that "nothing good comes out of [freak-offs] anymore."

She added, "You treat me like Ike Turner" — a reference to the abusive and controlling behavior of the 1960s musician against his then-wife Tina Turner.

Cassie said she used opiates to deal with the "freak-offs."

Ventura asserted that she suffered from medical issues after a "freak-off" orgy, including sores on her mouth, stomach problems, and "very painful" urinary tract infections.

During the cross-examination of Cassie, defense attorney Anna Estevao discussed messages between Ventura and Combs regarding the "freak-offs."

"I love our f.o.’s when we both want it," Cassie told Diddy on March 18, 2017, referring to the "freak-offs."

Estevao asked, "Those were words you said to Mr. Combs, correct?" Ventura confirmed that she did send the text.

Ventura — considered the prosecution's star witness in the sex trafficking case against the Bad Boy Records founder — alleged that she and Combs had been "so in love" at the beginning of their relationship.

On Wednesday, the jury was shown an email that Ventura sent to her mother and one of Diddy's employees in December 2011.

The email allegedly said Combs had threatened to release “explicit sex tapes” of her — including one threatened for release on Christmas Day.

Ventura claimed Combs lunged at her with a wine opener in 2011 after learning she was dating Scott Mescudi — a rapper known as Kid Cudi — "during a rough patch" in her relationship with Diddy.

Combs allegedly told Ventura that Kid Cudi’s car would be blown up.

'And then he raped me in my living room.'

Ventura stated that "around that time, Kid Cudi’s car exploded in his driveway," according to a 2023 civil lawsuit she filed in federal district court in Manhattan.

A spokesperson for Kid Cudi confirmed to the New York Times that his car exploded.

Ventura revealed in court on Wednesday that she received $20 million in the lawsuit that accused Combs of sex trafficking and sexual assault.

Ventura admitted that she was "heavily dependent on opiates" throughout her relationship with Diddy and testified that she was using drugs such as Norco, GHB, and ecstasy.

The singer claimed that she sought professional help for opiate addiction five or six times during the span of their relationship. Ventura alleged that she last used drugs in 2022.

Ventura also alleged that Combs raped her in 2018 — after their 11-year relationship ended.

Ventura allegedly went on a dinner date with Diddy, and he was friendly and kind at first. But after he reportedly drove Ventura back to her home and walked her inside, "he raped me in my living room," Cassie claimed.

Ventura told the court that she cried and told him "no" during the alleged sexual assault.

Ventura claimed that Diddy regularly physically assaulted her and bruised her body.

"It's not normal, constantly being bruised up by the person you love," Cassie claimed.

Ventura detailed being physically attacked by Diddy in August 2017, and the jury was shown a photo of her injury.

Combs allegedly physically assaulted her while she was sleeping. Combs reportedly threw Cassie into a bed frame, which caused a gash on her eyebrow.

Combs purportedly had a plastic surgeon attempt to remedy her wound, but Cassie said she has a permanent scar on her eyebrow.

Ventura said she texted a photo of her injury to Diddy with the caption: "So you can remember."

Combs reportedly replied that Cassie didn't know when to stop during arguments.

As Blaze News reported on Wednesday, Cassie told the courtroom of Diddy's alleged assaults, saying "he would bash me on my head, knock me over, drag me, kick me, stomp me on the head if I was down. … [I would] make the wrong face, and the next thing I knew, I was getting hit in the face."

Prosecutor Maurene Comey urged the judge to wrap up Ventura's testimony soon because she is "very, very pregnant."

"We are afraid she could have the baby over the weekend,” Comey stated. “We want her off the stand before the weekend, and we believe 45 minutes could make a difference.”

Judge Arun Subramanian agreed and informed all parties that she expects the defense to finish its cross-examination of Ventura by the middle of the day Friday.

If convicted, Diddy could spend the rest of his life in prison.

'These are criminals, unrepentant criminals, and they’re degenerates.'

"Fearless" host Jason Whitlock opined on the debauchery of entertainers, especially in the music industry.

“They’ve normalized a behavior that’s demonic, and just following the early parts of this trial and what comes out of it, it just reconfirms in my mind, these people need to be called demons. That’s what they are,” Whitlock proclaimed.

“Anybody that wants to deny the wickedness, the evilness, the debauchery, the depravity, the nihilism of this music and the people that they’re putting up as, ‘Hey, take these people seriously. These are your leaders,'" the "Fearless with Jason Whitlock" host continued. “These are criminals, unrepentant criminals, and they’re degenerates.”

'He would bash me on my head': Cassie Ventura testifies Diddy beat her, details 'freak-offs' with 'dozens' of prostitutes



Singer Casandra "Cassie" Ventura hurled damning accusations against Sean "Diddy" Combs during the trial of the rapper turned fashion icon.

Ventura took the witness stand Tuesday in Manhattan federal court in the sex trafficking and racketeering trial against Combs.

Ventura claimed that Combs often videotaped these sexual encounters with 'dozens and dozens' of prostitutes, and she feared that he could 'blackmail' her by releasing the footage online.

Ventura — who dated the 55-year-old Combs from 2007 to 2018 — testified in court that she “only ever saw handguns” at his residences in Los Angeles, New York City, Miami, and Alpine, New Jersey.

When prosecutors asked whether she ever handled any of Combs’ firearms, the 38-year-old Ventura responded, “I was handed one. We were going to a club [gig] in downtown L.A."

“I just remember we took mushrooms, and I was, like, really high. I was handed the gun just to hold in my bag, but I was freaking out the whole time [that] it was going to go off," Ventura said in court, according to Page Six.

She allegedly admitted that she did not know how to operate the gun. She added that the firearm stayed in her bag for up to an hour and a half while they were at the nightclub.

Ventura — the prosecution's star witness — recalled feeling “terrified.”

Diddy's former girlfriend alleged that she later gave the firearm back to security.

"I have no idea why I had a loaded gun," she told prosecutors.

Ventura said, “The guns were taken out here and there. I always felt like it was a little bit of a scare tactic. I didn’t know for what purpose."

Ventura accused Diddy of physically assaulting her.

The singer alleged, "He would bash me on my head, knock me over, drag me, kick me, stomp me on the head if I was down. … [I would] make the wrong face, and the next thing I knew, I was getting hit in the face."

She claimed the “violent” assaults became so severe that she would “get knots” on her forehead.

Ventura told the courtroom that she suffered daily “psychological abuse” during her relationship with Combs. She claimed Combs said he wanted “control” over every aspect of her life and career.

Ventura was asked about the infamous "freak-offs" — the reportedly drug-fueled, multiday marathons of sex with prostitutes.

Ventura replied, "It basically entails the hiring of an escort and setting up this experience so that I could perform for Sean."

The singer said on the stand that she was given drugs so she could “perform” for Combs for hours during the alleged "freak-offs."

"The ‘freak-offs' became a job, where there was no space to do anything else but to recover and feel normal again," Ventura alleged.

Cassie testified that the "freak-offs" quickly made her feel “disgusting,” “humiliated,” and "worthless" but that Combs was allegedly not concerned about her feelings.

Ventura said she was a 19-year-old singer and model when she met the then-38-year-old Combs in Manhattan.

“There was a 17-year age difference," Ventura stated. "I was really confused at the time, you know, new artist. I was pretty naive.”

Combs' music label, Bad Boy Records, gave Cassie a 10-album deal. However, only one album was released.

Ventura said in court that she was initially drawn to Combs because he was “entertaining,” “fun,” and “larger than life," Variety reported.

She added that Combs "happened to have my career in his hands.”

Prosecutor Elizabeth Johnson said in her opening argument, "This case is not about a celebrity's private sexual preferences. It's about coercive crimes."

Combs' defense attorney, Teny Geragos, admitted in her opening statement that Combs was "a jerk" and "mean." Geragos also said Diddy has "a bad temper" and has issues with drug use, according to NPR.

On Monday, a security guard who allegedly witnessed Combs assaulting Ventura at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016 gave testimony.

RELATED: Sean 'Diddy' Combs accused of raping 13-year-old girl with another celebrity as female star watched, new lawsuit claims

Another Monday witness was an alleged male escort who claimed to have been paid on several occasions over two years to have sex with Ventura while Combs watched.

Ventura allegedly told the court that she didn’t want to have “sex with strangers” for Combs’ enjoyment, but she "didn’t feel like I had much of a choice. I didn’t know what ‘no’ could be, or what ‘no’ could turn into.”

Ventura claimed that Combs often videotaped these sexual encounters with "dozens and dozens" of prostitutes, and she feared that he could “blackmail” her by releasing the footage online.

As Blaze News reported last May, a disturbing video surfaced allegedly showing an "extremely intoxicated" Diddy brutally assaulting Ventura in the hallway of a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.

If convicted, Combs could spend the rest of his life in prison.

'They’ve normalized a behavior that’s demonic.'

"Fearless" host Jason Whitlock delved into some of the salacious accusations from the Diddy trial.

“My first and initial takeaway is that this society that we’ve built, where entertainers — and particularly in the rap music world, but in the music industry in general — we shower millions upon millions of dollars on entertainers, and there’s a level of power that comes along with showering that much money on entertainers," Whitlock declared.

He continued, "And when you build a particular form of music that’s based off of prison culture and prison values, what do you think they’re going to do with all this money and power you’ve handed over to them?"

The "Fearless with Jason Whitlock" host added that rappers use their money to "buy gold chains, to buy sex slaves, and to host lavish drug-filled drunken parties."

“Anybody that wants to deny the wickedness, the evilness, the debauchery, the depravity, the nihilism of this music and the people that they’re putting up as, ‘Hey, take these people seriously. These are your leaders,’” Whitlock stated. “These are criminals, unrepentant criminals, and they’re degenerates.”

“They’ve normalized a behavior that’s demonic, and just following the early parts of this trial and what comes out of it, it just reconfirms in my mind, these people need to be called demons. That’s what they are,” Whitlock added.

Luigi Mangione-based shows to hit American stage, turning murder suspect into 'accidental folk hero'



A spate of theatrical shows based on the life of Luigi Mangione are set to hit the stage before summer, turning the murder suspect into a fictional hero.

On the morning of December 4, 2024, United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a 50-year-old husband and father of two, was about to enter a Hilton Hotel in Manhattan when Mangione allegedly walked up behind him and fatally shot him at point-blank range.

Shell casings found at the scene had the words "deny," "defend," and "depose" inscribed on them, lending many to suppose the killer harbored violent animus against Thompson for his association with the health care industry.

After a days-long manhunt, Mangione was recognized by an employee at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, about 300 miles west of Manhattan, and arrested.

He has pled not guilty to a bevy of New York state and federal charges, including murder and terrorism. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has already pledged to seek the death penalty in Mangione's case.

'We acknowledge the pain and complexity surrounding the case.'

Despite the vicious accusations against him, 26-year-old Mangione has inspired several fictional stories that are scheduled to hit stages across America next month.

Notably, all five performances of "Luigi: The Musical," which will debut in San Francisco on June 13, have already sold out.

According to TicketTailor, the musical is "a wildly irreverent, razor-sharp comedy" that imagines Mangione, an "accidental folk hero," interacting with two other high-profile inmates at Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn: Sean "Diddy" Combs, who remains locked up at MDCB while awaiting trial, and Sam Bankman-Fried, who has since been transferred.

In a press release posted to a website for the show, creators insisted that "Luigi" is "not a celebration of violence of any kind" but instead a "satire" that asks "deeper cultural questions" about "modern disillusionment" with the health care, tech, and entertainment industries.

"Our hearts go out to the family of Brian Thompson," the statement added, "and we acknowledge the pain and complexity surrounding the case."

Another show, "Take Your Shot," is a one-act "political satire" in which a Mangione look-alike serves as an "unhinged" motivational speaker, according to a promo sent to Blaze News. Produced by INDECLINE, a far-left "activist art collective," in partnership with sketch comedians TSTMRKT, "Take Your Shot" is billed as the latest installment of "politically charged and brazen performance art" in the "Trump era."

In a statement, the artists with INDECLINE and TSTMRKT said of "Take Your Shot": "This performance is about being pushed to the wall and forced to make a choice as to whether we repeat history or make it. Our hope is to have the audience take a bit of the violence home with them as a souvenir and to never forget what they witnessed in the dark with us."

"If not now, then when?"

"Take Your Shot" is scheduled to be performed at Cheapshot in Downtown Las Vegas during the Fallout Fringe Festival from June 11 to June 13. Blaze News made repeated calls to Cheapshot, but those calls were all immediately disconnected. An email to Corner Bar Management, which owns Cheapshot, was not returned.

Yet another performance, "Deny Delay De-Lovely: The Luigi Mangione Musical," was scheduled to debut in June as well, in this case in Austin, Texas, home of the Tin Pan Pally multimedia and music production company. However, "Deny Delay De-Lovely" has since been "postponed" due to "unforeseen circumstances," the theater website said. All tickets will be refunded.

In an email, Tin Pan Pally told Blaze News: "Our production largely dealt with the McDonalds employee that turned him in. We attempted to satirize the health care industry and workers wages without condoning the violence and murder of Brian Thompson. We hope to bring the production back soon."

For now, Mangione remains locked up at MDCB with Combs. On Saturday, defense attorneys pushed to have the state charges against Mangione dismissed, citing double jeopardy concerns. According to the BBC, Mangione is expected to appear in federal court again in December.

Jury selection in Combs' case began on Monday.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs sexually assaulted 10-year-old boy after drugging him during 'audition,' shocking new lawsuit claims



Sean “Diddy” Combs is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy in a New York City hotel room in 2005, according to a new lawsuit.

The California boy allegedly was interested in becoming an actor and/or rapper, according to Variety.

The boy later woke up in tears with his pants undone and pain in his anus and buttocks, CNN reported.

The lawsuit says the boy's parents hired a music industry consultant who recommended that the family travel from Los Angeles, where they lived, to New York to meet with music industry figures. The consultant allegedly arranged for the boy to have an "audition" with Combs, who reportedly requested to meet with the child alone before meeting his family.

The consultant brought the boy to Combs’ hotel room and left him alone with him, according to the lawsuit.

The boy reportedly performed a few rap songs for Combs, who allegedly told the 10-year-old he could “make him a star” and asked him how badly he wanted it.

According to the lawsuit, the “plaintiff responded, as might any 10-year-old child, that he would ‘do anything.'”

While in the hotel room, someone presented the boy with a soda. Shortly after drinking the soda, the alleged victim said he reportedly began to feel “a little funny.” The plaintiff’s attorney claimed the drink was spiked with drugs “including but not limited to GHB and/or ecstasy.”

Combs allegedly instructed the child to move closer to him and pushed him down, then told him something to the effect of “you have to do some stuff you don’t want to do sometimes.” The complaint alleged that Combs exposed his penis and told the boy to “kiss it.”

According to the complaint, the boy refused Diddy's sexual advances, but Combs forced the minor to perform oral sex on him. Soon after, the 10-year-old reportedly lost consciousness.

The boy later woke up in tears with his pants undone and pain in his anus and buttocks, CNN reported.

The 10-year-old allegedly told Diddy that he wanted to see his parents, and the Bad Boy Records founder reportedly threatened to hurt the child's parents if he said anything to anyone.

Once the consultant returned, she allegedly noticed the boy was “badly shaken.” The child's parents said their son appeared “lethargic and acting differently" after the "audition."

The lawsuit noted that since the purported sexual assault, the alleged victim suffered from “severe depression and anxiety, which leaves him hopeless and fatigued.”

Second lawsuit involves 17-year-old alleged victim

A second new lawsuit accused Combs of sexually assaulting an aspiring 17-year-old male music performer during a 2008 audition for Combs' "Making the Band" TV show, in which Combs determines the fate of entertainment hopefuls.

During the first interview with the alleged victim — which was one-on-one with Combs — the lawsuit states that "Combs asked plaintiff hypothetical questions about handling situations involving sexual pressure.”

“As Combs described these scenarios, he began to sexually assault plaintiff by touching plaintiff both over and under his clothing, including groping and fondling his penis and instructing plaintiff to undress,” the lawsuit alleges.

The alleged victim claimed Combs threatened that he had the ability to “make or break” his career.

At the second audition, the hip-hop producer reportedly told the teen to undress in order “to demonstrate the ability to embody a ‘sex idol’ persona.”

“This encounter eventually escalated into Combs forcing the plaintiff to perform oral sex on him, and Combs sodomizing the plaintiff,” the lawsuit claims.

At the third and final audition, Combs and his bodyguard reportedly sexually assaulted the teenager.

According to the suit, the contestant was eliminated from the reality TV competition “as Combs claimed that plaintiff was untrustworthy due to his reservations about performing oral sex on his bodyguard.”

The new lawsuits against Combs were filed in the Supreme Court of the state of New York on Monday. They are the latest lawsuits against Combs from attorney Tony Buzbee, who said he's representing more than 120 individuals in civil lawsuits accusing the music mogul of sex crimes over the course of more than two decades. Buzbee said the youngest victim was only 9 years old when Combs allegedly sexually assaulted him.

Combs' attorneys did not address the specific allegations in the two new lawsuits but told CNN their client never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone.

“As we’ve said before, Mr. Combs cannot respond to every new publicity stunt, even in response to claims that are facially ridiculous or demonstrably false,” Combs’ attorneys said in a statement. “Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor.”

As Blaze News reported earlier this month, a lawsuit accused Combs and another male celebrity of raping a 13-year-old girl as a female star watched the alleged sex crime.

In September, Combs was arrested and hit with charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and interstate transportation for prostitution.

Federal prosecutors outlined sex acts known as “freak offs” during which Combs allegedly organized the transportation of sex workers across state lines and internationally — and often recorded them.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams previously said, "The freak offs sometimes lasted days at a time, involved multiple commercial sex workers, and often involved a variety of narcotics — such as ketamine, ecstasy, and GHB [gamma hydroxybutyrate] — which Combs distributed to the victims to keep them obedient and compliant.”

Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Combs, 54, is currently incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.

He is facing at least 27 civil cases, and his criminal trial is scheduled to begin in May 2025.

INSANE: Celeb bodyguard claims Diddy POISONED Jamie Foxx — could it be true?



In the summer of 2023, actor and musician Jamie Foxx came down with a mysterious illness that very nearly killed him.

In July, after it was determined that he had narrowly escaped death, a pale, sickly-looking Foxx released a tearful video letting the public know that he was okay but traumatized.

“I’ve been to hell and back,” he said, before thanking his family, medical team, and God.

Foxx never would say what it was that nearly took his life, leaving many speculating that his illness was due to taking the COVID vaccine, which could not be questioned or criticized at the time due to the collusion between the federal government, Big Pharma, and Big Tech. The approved narrative was that Foxx had a stroke.

However, a new story has since emerged. In the wake of Sean "Diddy" Combs' arrest, a celebrity bodyguard who goes by the name of Big Homie.CC has reported that Foxx’s near-death experience was due to Diddy poisoning him. Apparently, Foxx then reported him to the FBI.

¼ Black Garrett, Angela Boggs, and Derek Richards, filling in for Dave Landau, bring equal parts humor and analysis to the disturbing news.

 

"‘In a shocking interview with Cam Capone News, celebrity bodyguard Big Homie, which by the way is the name on his driver's license in case you're curious, "made bold accusations against music mogul Diddy, alleging that Diddy poisoned actor Jamie Foxx,’” says Richards, reading from a report.

In a YouTube video that dropped last week, Big Homie stated the following: “Well, I know [Diddy] poisoned Jamie Foxx, and Jamie Foxx reported him to the FBI because of it. I know that’s a fact.”

When questioned whether Foxx’s mysterious illness was due to this alleged poisoning, Big Homie confirmed yes – Foxx’s 20-day stint in the hospital and three-month hiatus from the public eye was indeed a result of being poisoned by Combs.

Angela then points to “Brittany Murphy and [Diddy’s] ex-wife,” Kim Porter, and several others who “have died of pneumonia who were involved with [Diddy].”

“Actually one of the causes of pneumonia is breathing in baby oil,” she says.

When Diddy’s home was raided by the FBI, 1,000 bottles of baby oil were found. Could it be that they were also poisoned by Diddy in a different way?

“All my freak parties have coconut oil – organic from Whole Foods,” Richards jokes.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs accused of raping 13-year-old girl with another celebrity as female star watched, new lawsuit claims



A new wave of lawsuits have been initiated against Sean “Diddy” Combs, which include accusations that the hip-hop producer raped a 13-year-old girl with a fellow celebrity as a female star watched the alleged sex crime.

On Sunday, Houston-based attorney Tony Buzbee filed five new civil lawsuits against Combs in New York federal court under the New York City Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act. Buzbee had already filed six previous jury-seeking suits against the music mogul for alleged sex crimes.

The lawsuit claims that after the purported sexual assault, the alleged victim 'fell into a deep depression which continues to affect every facet of her life.'

Buzbee told NBC News, "We will let the allegations in the filed complaints speak for themselves and will work to see that justice is done. We expect to be filing cases weekly naming Mr. Combs and others as defendants as we continue to gather evidence and prepare the filings."

Buzbee said he is representing more than 120 individuals in civil lawsuits accusing Combs of sex crimes over the course of more than two decades. Buzzbee said the youngest alleged victim was only 9 years old when Diddy reportedly sexually assaulted him.

According to the latest lawsuit against Diddy, an alleged child sex crime occurred at an afterparty following the MTV Video Music Awards in September 2000.

The alleged victim, now 37, claimed she was raped at the afterparty when she was only 13 years old. The alleged victim — identified as Jane Doe — claimed to have felt “woozy and lightheaded” after one drink at the party.

“Looking for a place to rest, plaintiff entered what she believed to be an empty bedroom so she could lie down for a moment,” the 19-page lawsuit stated, according to Deadline.

“Soon after, Combs, along with a male and female celebrity, entered the room,” the 19-page action says. “Combs aggressively approached plaintiff with a crazed look in his eyes, grabbed her, and said, ‘You are ready to party!'”

“Combs then threw plaintiff toward another male celebrity, Celebrity A, who removed plaintiff’s clothes as she grew more and more disoriented,” the lawsuit contends. “Plaintiff was held down by Celebrity A who vaginally raped her while Combs and Celebrity B, a female, watched."

"After the male celebrity finished, Combs then vaginally raped plaintiff while the Celebrity A and Celebrity B watched," the suit alleges. "Combs attempted to force plaintiff to perform oral sex on him, but she resisted by hitting Combs in the neck; he stopped.”

The lawsuit does not name the male and female celebrities.

The alleged victim said she left “the large white house with a gated U-shaped driveway” after the claimed sexual assault, and her father picked her up.

The lawsuit claims that after the purported sexual assault, the alleged victim "fell into a deep depression which continues to affect every facet of her life.”

Rolling Stone reported that another victim said he was 17 years old when Combs sexually abused him.

The alleged victim — an aspiring singer identified as John Doe — said he went to a penthouse hotel party in Manhattan in 2022. The alleged victim claimed Diddy offered him a drink and “assured Doe that he could make him a star."

The alleged victim claimed he began to feel dizzy and confused.

He claims to have stumbled into a room where people were having group sex. The lawsuit claims Combs grabbed the alleged victim and "led him to the bed, forcing him to lie down on the bed against his will.”

"Combs grabbed Doe’s penis and genitals with his hand," the lawsuit alleges. "Combs manipulated Does’ genitals for an extended period of time, trying to get him aroused."

Another alleged victim claimed he was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement in order to attend a party at Combs’ Holmby Hills mansion following the 2022 BET Awards. The alleged victim claimed he was handed a cocktail and soon felt “disoriented, dizzy and weak.”

The lawsuit states that the alleged victim reportedly was escorted into a small room where nearly a dozen people were engaging in group sex. After “realizing his significant impairment,” Combs allegedly approached him and “removed his pants, and began performing non-consensual oral sex onto him,” the suit claims.

Rolling Stone reported that Diddy's criminal defense team filed a motion with U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian on Sunday night, asking for a gag order that would prohibit “further extrajudicial statements from prospective witnesses and their lawyers that substantially interfere with Mr. Combs’s right to a fair trial.”

According to Page Six, Combs' legal team said: "The press conference and 1-800 number that preceded today’s barrage of filings were clear attempts to garner publicity. Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone — adult or minor, man or woman.”

As Blaze News reported last month, Combs was arrested in New York City after the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York charged him with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and interstate transportation for prostitution.

The indictment read: “Members and associates of the Combs Enterprise engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other activities, sex trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, coercion, and enticement to engage in prostitution, narcotics offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.”

The indictment describes sex acts known as “freak offs,” in which Combs allegedly organized the transportation of sex workers across state lines and internationally — and often recorded them.

U.S. Attorney Damian Williams previously said, "The freak offs sometimes lasted days at a time, involved multiple commercial sex workers, and often involved a variety of narcotics — such as ketamine, ecstasy, and GHB [gamma hydroxybutyrate] — which Combs distributed to the victims to keep them obedient and compliant.”

Diddy's federal trial is expected to begin in May. Combs has pleaded not guilty.

If convicted, Combs faces a minimum of 15 years in prison and up to life.

WATCH: Exclusive footage of the moment Diddy is arrested



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.”

Why Hollywood should be 'VERY NERVOUS' about the Diddy scandal



Last week on September 17, Sean "Diddy" Combs, commonly known in the music industry as P. Diddy or Puff Daddy, was arrested and charged with a slew of crimes, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

The rapper and producer is widely being referred to as the Epstein of Hollywood because, like Epstein, Diddy threw massive sex parties during which he forced guests to engage in sexual activities with prostitutes while being filmed.

Now that Diddy has been denied bail, other Hollywood stars are making suspicious moves, many of them going on a “social media scrubbing spree.”

“Blaze News Tonight’s” Jill Savage and “Fearless” host Jason Whitlock discuss the situation.

 

Currently, Diddy is “locked up in a Brooklyn penitentiary where he reportedly was put on suicide watch,” says Jill.

Naturally, many are wondering whether or not Diddy will “wind up being Epsteined.”

The other big question is: Who are his co-conspirators? Like the mysterious Epstein list, certainly there are a number of elites on the list of those complicit in Diddy’s crimes, but who are they?

While no others have been arrested yet, “there are Hollywood heavyweights who are apparently spooked.”

One of those people is singer, rapper, and producer Usher, whose “posts vanished off X, only for him to make the excuse later that he was hacked.”

Another Hollywood star who scrubbed her social media accounts is punk singer P!nk. Apparently, several of her posts “were 86ed,” says Jill.

However, “one of the creepiest moments in the saga” actually occurred back in 2016 when Usher was on “The Howard Stern Show” and recounted his wild days living at Diddy’s.

When Usher was just 14, he was apparently sent off to “Puffy Flavor Camp” to “see the lifestyle.”

“There were very curious things taking place,” Usher said in the interview before listing specific celebrities he saw at Diddy’s infamous parties, including Biggie Smalls, Lil’ Kim, Craig Mack, Faith Evans, the band Jodeci, and Mary J. Blige, among others.

Jason has known that the rap music industry is corrupt to the core for decades now.

“It's been my argument for many years — and it's all come to fruition — that the music industry is satanic; it's a sex cult, and as it relates to hip-hop, its role is to instill, impart, make the culture more nihilistic, and Diddy is at the head of that,” he explains.

Now that Diddy has been officially arrested and charged, Jason says that “a lot of people should be nervous — a lot of Hollywood people, a lot of athletes, a lot of the A-list celebrities.”

Blaze Media editor in chief Matthew Peterson can’t help but be suspicious about the timing, however.

“Why is he getting in trouble now?” he asks, noting that illegal things happen at debaucherous celebrity parties all the time.

According to Jason, Diddy’s downfall is a result of his cockiness.

“Diddy started suing people and started challenging the establishment that put him in place,” says Jason, adding that Diddy mistakenly assumed that he was equal to the people who installed him at the top of the music industry.

“[He] thought, ‘Hey, I'm a billionaire; I'm the equal of these other people that installed me,’ and the people that installed Diddy are saying, ‘No, you're not; you have a role and a place to stay in; you've gone outside of that, and we will put you down like a sick dog,'” he explains.

“Diddy was a tool to bait people to come to his house and participate in things that they would put on camera, and now you have blackmail information on politicians, other celebrities, influencers,” says Jason.

“You wonder why all the Hollywood influencer celebrity people think the exact same thing — Kamala Harris is the greatest person in the world … she should be president of the United States, and Donald Trump is racist. You can't convince me that everybody in Hollywood thinks that. They think that because they have no other choice but to think that,” he says.

“What’s the next phase? Where do we go from here?” asks Jill.
