And assaulting anyone who won’t play ball(s), it seems. Cuba Gooding Jr. also just got named in a civil suit against Combs alleging sexual assault, trafficking, and RICO violations. Basically…

Britain’s Prince Harry was also mentioned in the complaint, as he had been when it was originally filed last month. Although no allegation of wrongdoing on his part was made, the prince was referred to in a section about why Grainge “ignored the numerous red flags about Mr. Combs ... to receive financial benefits from Mr. Combs and his sex trafficking venture.” 

OH SHIT

He gone.

There was always a reason certain Black celebs/musicians didn’t fuck with him. There’s also a reason a lot of celebs/musicians did fuck with him and his crew. 

Biggie and pac were working from heaven to take down Diddy since, well, he had something to do with both of their murders (Black conspiracy theory)

If there was any doubt....there isn't any more.  He's a huge piece of shit.  Shit like this happens when 1) you're predisposed to being a giant piece of shit, and 2) you get rich/powerful enough that everyone covers for you.

She should end him.  There is no cap on punitive damages for intentional conduct.  Her attorneys should get the evidence of his net worth, win on liability, present that evidence at the punitive damages stage, and ask for "his entire net worth, less $1, because that's all that a piece of shit like Diddy deserves to keep - one fucking dollar.  Send a message to this entitled prick.  Send a message to every other entitled prick out there who thinks that because they are rich and powerful, they can abuse and prey upon the weak.  I'm not asking you to punish Diddy.  I'm asking you to crush him.  To destroy him.  To do what he did to a woman when she was already down: kick him.  Hard.  That is the language that he understands.  So, speak it to him."

I watched it when all this went down so I don't remember where in the hour plus he talks about it. But the entire interview is germane to the issues surrounding the diddler.

You ain't seen the interviews with diddle's personal security guard? It's not a conspiracy anymore. 

If you're talking about Gene Deal, or whatever his last name, that guy doesn't seem credible at all. And if half the shit he said he witnessed is true, it would be pretty self-incriminating that he just stood there and failed to report. I'm sure he knows some shit, but there isn't a YouTube show or podcast that he hasn't been on. Dude looks like he's loving the attention.

Don't know but I've seen other interviews that corroborate other things he's said. Plus, Keefe D (the guy who was arrested for 2pac's murder) confirmed the million dollar bounty on pac.

That's impossible since Pac isn't dead.

You are right that the Pac isn't technically dead, but you have to consider them at least mostly dead with this kind of TV deal.

"She wears underwear with dickholes in 'em" will always be one of my favorite lines from the entire Chappelle show run.

NYT: Sean Combs Arrested in Manhattan After Grand Jury Indictment

Quote

Sean Combs, the music mogul whose career has been upended by sexual assault lawsuits and a federal investigation, was arrested in Manhattan on Monday evening, after a grand jury indicted him, according to a person familiar with the indictment who was not authorized to speak publicly.

The indictment is sealed and the charges were not announced but the person familiar with the prosecution said they believed Mr. Combs was being charged with racketeering and sex trafficking.

A statement from Mr. Combs’s legal team said they were disappointed with the decision to prosecute him and noted that he had been cooperative with the investigation and had “voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges.”

“Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community,” the statement said. “He is an imperfect person but he is not a criminal.”

 

A representative for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday evening.

Mr. Combs, 54, who is also known as Diddy and Puff Daddy, was a key figure in the global rise of hip-hop as a commercial force in the 1990s and 2000s, helping to make stars of rappers and R&B singers like the Notorious B.I.G. and Mary J. Blige. But he has been under intense public scrutiny since a former girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, filed a lawsuit last November accusing him of years of sexual and physical abuse.

 

Mr. Combs settled the suit with Ms. Ventura — an R&B singer known as Cassie, who had been signed to Mr. Combs’s record label — in one day, and denied any wrongdoing. But legal pressure mounted over the next nine months, with the filing of five lawsuits by women alleging sexual assault and three other sexual misconduct suits, all of which Mr. Combs’s lawyers are fighting in court.

In March, federal agents raided Mr. Combs’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami Beach, Fla., stopping him at a Miami-area airport and confiscating his electronic devices. The authorities made no announcements at the time, but a federal official said the inquiry was at least in part a human trafficking investigation. Federal prosecutors in New York had by that time interviewed a number of witnesses about sexual misconduct allegations against Mr. Combs, according to a person familiar with the interviews.

 

Mr. Combs has vehemently denied the accusations in the civil suits, calling them “sickening allegations” from people looking for “a quick payday.” His lawyers have sharply criticized how the raids — which involved agents from Homeland Security Investigations brandishing guns — were carried out, calling them a “gross overuse of military-level force.”

That tone of defiance shifted after CNN published hotel surveillance footage in May that showed Mr. Combs physically assaulting and kicking Ms. Ventura in 2016. Mr. Combs posted an apology video to social media in which he called his behavior “inexcusable” and said he had sought out professional help.

A prolific producer and gifted impresario, Mr. Combs helped usher hip-hop into the mainstream with his record label, Bad Boy Entertainment. He also created a raffish, larger-than-life media persona, throwing celebrity-filled parties and presiding over a popular MTV reality competition show, “Making the Band,” in the mid-2000s. And he established a lucrative brand portfolio including fashion, liquor and a cable TV network, Revolt.

For decades, Mr. Combs has been trailed by accusations of violence, though this is the first time he is known to have faced such a sprawling investigation into his conduct over a period of years. In 2001, he was the subject of a highly publicized trial over a nightclub shooting, where he was acquitted on gun and bribery charges.

In recent years, he adopted a new persona, asking people to call him Love, naming his newest daughter Love and titling his first solo studio album in 17 years “The Love Album: Off the Grid,” which he released, independently, under a new label, Love Records.

 

Last year, Mr. Combs was just coming off a swirl of positive publicity tied to that album and his long career in music when Ms. Ventura filed suit with detailed and disturbing allegations stretching over more than a decade. Her complaint included accusations of sex trafficking and said that Mr. Combs had forced Ms. Ventura to have sex with male prostitutes in front of him, and instructed her to use websites and escort services to find prostitutes to participate in drug-fueled encounters he called “freak offs.”

Mr. Combs has decided to settle only Ms. Ventura’s lawsuit; his legal team has fought the rest in court, painting the allegations as false stories drummed up to secure settlements.

In court filings, his lawyers said that a lawsuit accusing him of participating in a gang rape in 2003 had “singlehandedly irreparably damaged” Mr. Combs’s reputation on the basis of “rank, uncorroborated allegations.” And after a male music producer accused Mr. Combs in a lawsuit of making unwanted sexual contact with him, a lawyer for Mr. Combs called the plaintiff a “liar” whose accusations were “pure fiction” meant to garner headlines.

Since those lawsuits were filed, much of Mr. Combs’s brand portfolio has fallen apart.

He sold his stake in Revolt and his share of DeLeón tequila, a partnership with the spirits conglomerate Diageo. A New York charter school network ended its partnership with him.

This month, Mr. Combs’s mansion in the ritzy Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, where federal agents carried out a raid in March, was listed on the real estate market for $61.5 million.

In the #MeToo movement and its aftermath, prosecutors have increasingly turned to sex trafficking laws to try sexual assault accusations in the federal court system. The first conviction of R. Kelly, the R&B singer, was on charges of racketeering and violations of an anti-sex-trafficking law known as the Mann Act.

 

Homeland Security Investigations, which often investigates sex trafficking cases, led the inquiry into Mr. Combs. The March raids were announced to the world in television news footage of agents converging on Mr. Combs’s sprawling Los Angeles mansion and carrying out electronics; the mother of one of his sons later shared footage of agents pointing guns at Justin and Christian Combs while they were being detained inside their father’s home.

Since then, federal prosecutors have been silent, quietly delivering subpoenas to potential witnesses as they built their case against Mr. Combs.
