P Diddy arrested

89 replies

P Diddy has been arrested on unspecified federal charges. There have been two raids on his properties relating to sex trafficking. He's also faced a series of allegations of sexual abuse including from his ex Cassie. There was CCTV evidence of him physically assaulting her and she claims she was raped and trafficked by him.

Other women have come forward accusing him of various offences including sexual assault. I'm wondering why these men get away with their criminal behaviour for so long. Why after #metoo are women being sexually abused by powerful men and what can be done about it?

People must have known what Diddy was doing for years, why didn't people come forward?

I had the misfortune to be working at an event he was at in the early 00s. He is a nasty, violent man.

Was he the moron on MTV cribs who led the cameraman to his bedroom and there was a bevy of lingerie clad women and he said that when he gets dressed in the morning he likes to be surrounded by beautiful woken watching him?

My daughter used to watch this programmed and I caught a few of them with her just so I could ridicule the absolute state of these idiots.

No idea. Could be any one of these scumbags whose disgusting treatment of women is seen as adorable. Like Snoop Dog who was a pimp and calls women hoes and bitches but is suddenly a great character.

Good. He's given off red flag vibes for years.

I meant I didn’t realise he was arrested already and arrested again.

@RedheadedSoulStealer I saw his house (in Miami?)getting raided but I don’t think he was arrested.

He's been arrested.

Why after #metoo are women being sexually abused by powerful men and what can be done about it?

Men are unlikely to face the consequences of ill treatment of women regardless of their status. For every powerful man who’s been exposed, it’s only a fraction of their crimes which are made public plus there’s millions of regular men who are also treating women badly.

People like R Kelly do get caught but it’s got to be a case of people like Diddy knowing that he’s unlikely to face his comeuppance - especially in a country like the US where being able to afford the best legal defence and knowing the dirt about other VIPs will get you better prison circumstances.

Take the example of Epstein. Where is his client list ? Why is Ghislaine the only one who has been put behind bars?

Didn't this happen months ago?
If not I am definitely psychic hehe.

But yes, loads of people knew and they get away with it because Metro didn't really change a whole lot for women that aren't huge celebrities.

Men are actively getting away with the same old shit now that they were then.

Nothing can be done about it, just like nothing can be done about less than 2% of rapes leading to convictions or men like Huw Edwards being able to view those despicable images and basically get away with it other than people talking.
The bloody judge even acted like he was commendable.

If the victim is a woman or a child, no one cares.

He’s a wealthy and violent man who could ruin your career in the music industry so I understand why people said nothing and protected themselves and their families.

Do you understand those who observed Jimmy Saville raping children in hospitals as well?

People have been, but he's either innocent up to now, or exceptionally good at covering his tracks.
