Stupid question about Diddy

65 replies

FS90 · 26/09/2024 20:42

Sorry if this is stupid but if Diddy knew he was going to be arrested and flew specifically to be arrested, with all his money and power why didn’t he just go somewhere that doesn’t have an extradition agreement with America? He’s been denied 50 million dollars bail so it’s obviously bad. Couldn’t he have got out?

Can someone explain what’s happened / alleged her to have happened please?
I can’t make sense of the media.

There is a very big back story and more gossip than anyone could cover in a single post but essentially P Diddy has been arrested, charged and denied bail. There are three main charges covering many, many alleged crimes:

  1. Conspiracy Racketeering
  2. Sex trafficking
  3. Obstruction of justice

Here is a video from Nate the Lawyer covering the legal aspects of the charges.

There are many other YouTube channels covering the gossip and speculation. I think this one gives a reasonable summary of the history.

So why now?

Because of Cassie. Cassie sued him about a year ago for $30m citing all the horrific things he did to her during their relationship. She initially brought the case privately for a settlement and he refused. So she sued him publicly and all the court documents were laid out for the world to see. She got her $30m and the feds had a reason to investigate what else he had been up to. They may have been investigating him before this even came out - the federal dept gather information for years and years before they actually make their arrest.

Sex, drugs and rock and roll - Gary Glitter and similar ilk are no suprise
Rap culture, gun crime and DV, sex with young girls/women are not a suprise at least in 80-90s rap culture - P Diddy and similar ilk are no suprise.
Jimmy Saville had dodginess written all over him
Hollywood and young starlets being forced to do things is hardly surprising, Weinstein with all that power and eventually Prince A won't suprise anyone.

Is it really hindsight that makes these fairly obvious cases, and obviously you may think you know but nothing means anything without proof. Clearly someone / people very brave are standing up to PDiddy but I think the only one that really surprised me was Rolf Harris.

Interested in this thread?

This is so true. The stuff around Mohamad Al-Fayed is the same, multiple people saying now that at the time they just thought he 'enjoyed the company of young women'..... no questions of course around whether the young women enjoyed his company in return!

watch the video and read the words of Justin Bieber song lonely
it’s absolutely haunting and I think it’s one of his best songs
with everything that’s coming out now the whole song is obvious about abuse in many ways

I feel bad that I always thought Justin Bieber was just young entitled kid but he’s very talented singer and writer who was most likely abused while in the care of Diddy from the age of 15

I often listened to his music and loved it and I’m old enough to be his mother so not his target group at all

I feel that he was probably abused in many ways and I hope that with his wife and new baby he finds peace

I do wonder the same thing OP and came to the conclusion arrogance kept him in the US. His ego is so huge he thinks he can walk out of any situation.

Word has it he is even going to take the stand at his trial, so his lawyer says.

The guy is a narcissist and has got away with it for so many years he's lost touch with reality.

This. See also J Savile and Fayed ( I’ll say allegedly for legal reasons in his case) . And probably many more.

50 cents been going on about Diddy since he offered to take him shopping 😂 years ago. That really offended him 😂

I love 50 cents twitter account. Amuses me every day!

MermaidEyes · 27/09/2024 10:35

Indeed @Cornflakelover
Looking forward to his documentary!

Cherryana · 27/09/2024 10:50

I deleted my TikTok yesterday because I went down a PDiddy rabbit hole and it’s all so negative. I am simultaneously not surprised and surprised at how depraved people can be.

SprigatitoYouAndIKnow · 27/09/2024 10:57

Funny how he definitely didn't harm anyone until there was cctv evidence of him beating his girlfriend at a hotel. But of course it was only that one time......

I'm seeing a lot of photos online with Diddy and the Obamas and Kamala Harris. I don't think they are involved at all - imagine if we were guilty of all the crimes of the people we'd happened to meet at a party- but it does make me question the timing of this, so close to a US election. The Republicans will be taking advantage of this.

Agree. The Trumpettes are going to be using this as a black people thing, which is incredibly damaging.
I guess because he's been arrested people are feeling safe to speak. The victims themselves probably weren't aware of the sale. I watched a woman, perhaps a starlet at the time, talking about being at his studios with a group. Her and her female manager were given spiked drinks and she suffered SA whilst the men in the group literally turned the other way.

All the media is in on it.

kittensinthekitchen · 27/09/2024 11:11

How much of this is court-reported and evidenced and how much of it is - currently - tiktok and YouTube conspiracy?

I have no doubt he is guilty of some very bad crimes, but I do think it's important to remember that on the Internet anyone can add arms and legs and it soon becomes 'fact'.

Does anyone have a link where the court reports can be read please?

Sean 'Diddy' Combs: What's a 'freak off', and what are the charges against him? - BBC News This explains what the charges are that have been brought (which include sex trafficking. There are as far as I can remember currently 11 separate accusers and cases going as far back as 1990s.

When the police raided his homes in Miami and LA in March they uncovered unregistered firearms, ammunition and thousands of bottles of lubricant.

There is plenty of legitimate evidence out there that he's an evil individual with a history of rape, sex trafficking, extortion and violence.

Have a watch of jaguar wright on TikTok. She has been telling everyone about diddy for years. Theres a lot of rappers and celebs involved in this.
Many people were drugged and filmed without their knowledge at the freak offs. The footage was then used to blackmail them

Bruisername · 27/09/2024 13:00

Isn’t there also a murder in a nightclub that a flunky took the fall for but it’s alleged JLo brought the gun in for Diddy

Divebar2021 · 26/09/2024 23:37

I saw a video on Tik Tok outlining the whole complicated mess… all I can say is if it was only 50% of it was true there has been this whole ring of criminality involving all these major rappers and their various partners. There was also a lot of suspicious deaths ( Tupac and Biggie included) and gay sex. A lot of men on men action. Interestingly Beyoncés name was not mentioned although Jay Z was implicated. Will Smith & Jada were involved. Jamie Fox was involved then nearly died of something which they were calling pneumonia- a couple of people DID die of apparent pneumonia. It’s a mess. There may or may not be a book somewhere written about it all and there may or may not be video evidence saved somewhere showing the sexual abuse.

Always wondered about Jamie foxx mysterious illness

Timeforaglassofwine · 27/09/2024 08:40

I'm a bit overly invested. It's like the big Hollywood Mafia stories all coming together. I've never really followed tabloids so was shocked when stories and videos started leaking. There are crazy aligations about R Kelly being guilty but scapegoated, Tupac and Biggie murdered, Michael Jackson even being got at. Beyonce drugged, Rhiana locked in a hotel room until she signed to JayZ. People like the Smiths and Kardashians being involved. IF all of this is true then it's going to be a big Hollywood fall down - if someone doesn't do an Epstein on Diddy first. I love that Eminem is standing against it all. Gutted that I just thought Justin Bieber was an entitled arse. Bloody hell, even Kanye West is sounding like the voice of reason!

Who are the smiths? I totally believe the Kardashians can be involved, there must be a reason how they got quite so fucking rich.

There is plenty of speculation but there was also sufficient evidence to convince a grand jury to indict him and for a judge to refuse him bail, twice. I linked to a 15 minute video by Nate the Lawyer, further up the thread, he goes through the details of the indictment and the known evidence which supports the allegations. There will be many other "lawtube" content creators doing the same, take your pick.

There are plenty of sources dealing with just the known facts and also plenty sharing Hollywood gossip. It should be fairly easy to tell the difference.

RavenclawWitchy · 27/09/2024 13:21

This video reads out the indictment/charges in full

Also I don't think he "flew there to be arrested" as illegal drugs were found in his hotel room at the time of his most recent arrest.

So was Usher, both were underage and abused by Diddy. There's allegations of both being predators too. It's tragic.
