I’ll never recover from what Diddy did to me in the dressing room after making my dreams come true: Dawn Richard

Pop star Dawn Richard waited years to tell her story of how Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs allegedly abused her while she was a member of the girl group Danity Kane.

On the latest episode of DailyMail.com’s podcast ‘The Trial of Diddy’, Richard’s attorney, Lisa Bloom, said the singer decided to come forward and file a lawsuit against Combs after watching the viral video of the music producer attacking former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.

‘She’s an accomplished woman and she’s all about the music,’ Bloom said of Richard. ‘All she wants to do is make music and be a musician. And yet, she found herself in the position — after Cassie Ventura came forward — of saying, “I need to come forward too, in support of Cassie, and in support of others, to tell my own story.”‘

Everyone Knew About the A-Team

How did the Alexander brothers become real-estate elites while allegedly raping or assaulting more than a dozen women?

A half-naked woman was lying on the table, and guests were invited to drip hot wax onto her body. Nearby, waiters passed tuna-tartare cones as a pair of burlesque dancers wearing dog collars and fishnets performed acrobatics. It was a summer night in 2015, and Oren and Alon Alexander were celebrating their 28th birthday in a $50 million townhouse on the Upper East Side.

A pair of real-life Gossip Girl characters, “the Alexander brothers,” as they were known in their Manhattan circle, were perfectly coiffed, perpetually suited up, and, like the party, sexy in a cheesy kind of way. There were Carnevale-style masks on the bar. The event featured a step-and-repeat and a hashtag. It was the twins’ birthday, but everyone knew the Alexander brothers included Tal, who was older than his siblings by less than a year. Oren and Tal sold luxury real estate together, including the very townhouse where the party was being held. Their boss, Douglas Elliman chairman Howard Lorber, was in attendance; so was Million Dollar Listing’s Fredrik Eklund, Billionaires’ Row developer Rotem Rosen, and a whole lot of models. As the twins blew out the candles on their cake, their family and friends and the brokers and models cheered.

Epstein, Diddy, Weinstein the list goes on and on.

The private police patrolling London

The middle classes have lost faith in the Met

One golden autumn afternoon, in a quiet North London suburb, I stumbled across a portal to a possible English future. Hadley Wood sits on the fringes of the city, between Barnet and the M25, seemingly forgotten in its own little world of metroland Tudor houses, dotted with fields of ponies and commemorative plaques to steam age pioneers. Yet between the wisteria and the Jags, there is a sense of unease.

Roving bands of career burglars stalk the area. “They come every day whether you’re inside or not,” explains one local man from behind his wheelie bin. “They don’t seem to care.” Everything is up for grabs, the man tells me, from Amazon packages in doorways to the Lexus in the drive.

HUNTER: Is accused Edmonton killer new poster boy for junk justice policies?

Everyone in the system seemed to know about Evan Chase Rain.

Violent, impulsive, drug-addicted, ugly and unrepentant.

But what can you do, right?

McKinsey & Co. to pay $650 million to settle opioid consulting probe, ex-partner to plead guilty

McKinsey & Co. agreed to pay $650 million in a deferred prosecution agreement that will resolve a federal criminal probe into the company’s consulting work advising Purdue Pharma on how to increase sales of its opioid painkiller OxyContin, a court filing said Friday.

A former top partner at McKinsey, Martin Elling, also agreed to plead guilty to obstruction of justice next month in the probe by the Department of Justice, according to a filing in U.S. District Court in Abingdon, Virginia.

The criminal charging document that McKinsey agreed to have filed by prosecutors alleges the consulting giant “knowingly and intentionally” conspired with Purdue Pharma “and others to aid and abet the misbranding of prescription drugs.”

Toronto police skipped ‘Homicide 101’ and never sought alibis from family and friends of murdered billionaires Barry and Honey Sherman

Toronto police homicide detectives failed to ask most of the people connected to Barry and Honey Sherman where they were at the time of the billionaire couple’s high-profile murders, documents unsealed by a court reveal. Seeking alibis is a crucial part of a murder investigation — it’s not fiction that it’s one of the first questions a detective on television or in a murder mystery asks of anyone close to the victim: Where were you when they were killed?

But in the days following the discovery of the Sherman bodies, police didn’t ask that question of family members, nor most business associates and others connected to the couple. Investigative sources say the lack of alibis is likely why Toronto homicide detectives have been unable to clear any of the many “persons of interest” suspected of having a hand in the killings.

This stinks so bad.

Who cares about BLM?

A jury found Daniel Penny innocent of Alvin Bragg’s ridiculous charges related to subduing a homeless man who threatened passengers in a subway car. The exoneration demolished a media narrative that Penny was a white supremacist stalking black men.

AP said, “A Marine veteran who used a chokehold on an agitated subway rider was acquitted on Monday in a death that became a prism for differing views about public safety, valor and vigilantism.”

God forbid people defend themselves and others!  Why that could lead to civilization and public safety! And we all know the Liberal-Left is upset simply because Penny is a white male.

‘Kids are scared’: Random attacks have residents of small-city N.L. shaken

Mount Pearl resident Bailey Rempel says life for her and her young family simply hasn’t been the same since her husband was assaulted by a group of young people at after-school pick-up in late November.

“There are things that don’t make it into the headlines,” she told a public meeting of concerned citizens this week. “How my husband hasn’t been able to work a full day yet, and how our house stays dark now because the lights make his head hurt.”

Multiple people stabbed in downtown Vancouver, suspect shot

Multiple people have been hurt in a stabbing rampage in Vancouver, cops have said.

Vancouver Police said officers were responding to a ‘violent incident’ near Robson Street and Hamilton Street in the city’s downtown just after 3pm on Wednesday.

‘A number of people have been stabbed, and the suspect has been shot by police. We’ll provide more info when it’s available,’ the department said on X.

That last bit made me laugh out loud.

Closing arguments in Daniel Penny’s trial reminds us (yet again!) that progressives possess not one good quality

The Soros-funded attorneys in Manhattan are throwing all they’ve got against Daniel Penny to see what sticks: race was obviously not a factor, a reality with which no one disagrees (there are no “hate crime” charges), but that seems to be the prosecution’s concluding gambit. Here’s what Alvin Bragg’s surrogate Dafna Yoran had to say in her closing arguments, via a report out at Fox News today…
