Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs accused of drugging personal trainer, passing his ‘body around like a party favor’

A personal trainer has accused Sean “Diddy” Combs in a new lawsuit of spiking his drink and then passing his “drugged body around like a party favor” at a celeb-filled awards show afterparty at his Los Angeles mansion.

The alleged victim, identified only as “John Doe,” claims he was repeatedly sexually assaulted by men and women at the disgraced music mogul’s party in June 2022 — including an unnamed celebrity who he was forced to perform oral sex on, the court papers state.

The famous person — only identified as “Celebrity A” — then spit in the trainer’s mouth, the filing alleges.

Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, Rosario Dawson Join 11,500 Hollywood Artists Sounding the Alarm over Artificial Intelligence

A-List actors including Julianne Moore, Kevin Bacon, Rosario Dawson, and more have joined 11,500 Hollywood artists, producers, writers, actors, and other industry insiders to warn about the danger that artificial intelligence represents to creativity and human ingenuity.

“The unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI is a major, unjust threat to the livelihoods of the people behind those works and must not be permitted,” the creatives said in a letter published Tuesday.

The genie is out of the bottle. One day we’ll see franchises based solely on AI created characters.

Bored of the rings: ‘wokery’ takes on Tolkien

“Woke” is a term much overused by those on both sides of the culture war but — a little like pornography — while it may be difficult to define, you absolutely know it when you see it.

The capture of the entertainment industry by an ideology — perhaps more accurately described as a group of roughly consanguineous ideas that seem, superficially, to be the Right, Kind and Thoughtful beliefs to hold — seems now to be absolute. Fiction of all kinds has been affected, but heroic narratives have proved especially vulnerable, perhaps because of the size and dedication of their audiences.

You will doubtless know the kind of thing I mean. The contemporary industry offers an emphasis on diversity of various kinds, defined or not, appropriate or not, as well as a quality of preachiness — the expectation that the viewer should share the avowed beliefs of the “creatives,” and that, if he doesn’t, it is a grave failing which requires urgent redress.

Five new lawsuits filed against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs

Five new civil lawsuits have been filed against Sean “Diddy” Combs in a federal court in New York.

Two men and three women accuse the hip-hop mogul of sexually assaulting them at various parties in LA, New York and Las Vegas.

The youngest plaintiff was 13 at the time of the alleged incident.

Mr Combs remains in custody at a Brooklyn jail. He is separately facing federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, which he denies. The BBC has approached his legal team for comment on the new cases.

I hope he takes down many of our fave Hollywood TDS sufferers.

‘He thought of himself as a king’: The parties that led to Diddy’s downfall

There was a time when an invitation to a party hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs was one of the most sought-after tickets in the entertainment industry.

With guest lists that included Justin Bieber, Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton and Jennifer Lopez, it was a chance to rub shoulders with some of the biggest celebrities. Jay-Z and Beyoncé even released new music at his events.

“When Diddy winked at you and said come into the VIP section, you knew you were going to have a really good night,” Rob Shuter, who worked as a publicist for the rapper at the height of his fame, told BBC News in an exclusive interview.

New lawsuits cast Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’s White Parties in a darker light

Combs was a “modern-day Gatsby” to the A-listers who attended his star-studded events. His accusers say they saw a far more disturbing figure emerge.

On Labor Day weekend in 1998, Sean “Diddy” Combs hosted a casual barbecue for about 200 guests at his new beachfront estate in East Hampton, N.Y. The dress code was all white, and the guest list was exclusive — details that would come to define the hip-hop impresario’s famous White Parties, which grew into extravagant soirees and earned him the reputation of a “modern-day Gatsby.”

For one attendee, who was 16 at the time, scoring an invite to the party that year felt like it could lead to his big break in the music business — an “opportunity to rub shoulders with the who’s who of the industry.” Instead, according to a new lawsuit, he alleges he was sexually abused by Combs during the event.

If the rumours are proven fact then it’s Epstein 2.0

The charges against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs explained

Something in common …

Two years ago, rap musician and mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs threw a lavish 53rd birthday party at his $61m mansion in Beverly Hills.

A host of stars lined up to toast his career, with a guest list that included Jay-Z, Travis Scott, Mary J Blige, Kehlani, Tinashe, Chris Brown and Machine Gun Kelly.

The party coincided with his 30th year in the music industry – three decades in which he formed his own entertainment empire and changed the sound of hip-hop, both as an artist and a producer for the likes of Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez and The Notorious B.I.G.

Fast-forward to 2024, and his career is on the ropes.

‘Rings Of Power’ Season Two Isn’t Even Worth Hate Watching

Siege engines are not stealthy.

Relatedly, it is time to pull the plug on Amazon’s Tolkien adaptation. There was much to complain about in season two of “The Rings of Power,” but the nadir might have been a squadron of siege engines rolling out of the woods in a surprise attack against Eregion. This might seem a minor quibble given the failures of plot, characterization, and dialogue that have plagued the series, but it encapsulated the show’s complete indifference to even basic competence.


I was certain that MAGA hating racialized gay elves was the way Tolkien himself would have envisioned the story.

Music bosses knew about Diddy. I will expose those who helped him

The only female talent scout at a big-name record label in the late 1980s believes prosecutors will soon find out who was covering up the hip-hop mogul’s alleged sex trafficking

When Dorothy Carvello read the criminal indictment against Sean “Diddy” Combs, it didn’t come as much of a surprise.

As the only female talent scout at a big-name record label in the late 1980s — a workplace she describes as a “circus mixed with an orgy” — she was employed by some of the executives who went on to propel the hip-hop artist turned producer to global stardom.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ lawyer has outrageously claimed that the most challenging part of being locked up in jail on sex trafficking charges has been what’s on the menu.

When asked how Combs was coping in detention at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, the rapper’s attorney Marc Agnifilo told People, ‘I think the food’s probably the roughest part of it.’

Outside the courthouse, another attorney for the disgraced musician, Anthony Ricco, boldly compared his client to civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

“Justin has been advised to stay as far away as possible from anything and everything related to Diddy,” a source tells Us Weekly.

The Canadian pop star “wants to protect himself” and is focusing on his newborn son with wife Hailey Bieber and the positive aspects of his life.
