Sean “Diddy” Combs is accused in one of two lawsuits filed Monday of drugging and sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy in a New York City hotel room in 2005.

The second lawsuit accuses the jailed hip-hop mogul of similarly assaulting a 17-year-old would-be contestant on the reality television series “Making the Band” in 2008.

The lawsuits filed in state Supreme Court in New York are the latest in a wave of lawsuits in which accusers allege they were sexually assaulted by Combs at parties and meetings over the last two decades.

And once again, as with Epstein, there are plenty of pictures of Kamala Harris being friendly with Combs. Oh, no wait, that was Trump: https://www.sheknows.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/celebrities-friends-with-trump-family-002.jpg?resize=512

More people had to know about this shit than knew about Epstein considering all the parties Combs threw.

Probably true, but if I had to guess he probably wasn't drugging 10 years olds in front of other people

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

No, but he also wasn't drugging all of his victims.

In 2005 we thought that that stuff was cool

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'd say "we" is a bit of an exaggeration...

Who distances themselves from thinking celebrity parties are cool? Is this that retroactive distancing stuff? Like hindsight posturing? Now that we know about the rapes you never thought rich famous celebrities partying were cool back in 2005?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I'm pretty sure "that stuff" that kandoh is referring to is child rape.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Hey whaddya know they were. That's unfortunate.

Just to be clear. In 2005 I thought the celebrities partying was cool. Had I known about the P Diddling I wouldn't have thought it was cool .

Stray Cat Blues by the Rolling Stones was a very popular song about having sex with a 15 year old, but for live performances they switch it to 13 year old, the live audience loves it.

People still love David Bowie even though he raped Lori Maddox when she was 15.

I remember my dad talking at a family bbq about how hot he thought middle school girls were. Everyone else laughed along with him.

People were pretty open about it before the internet created an environment where they could be held accountable publicly.

I was 28 years old in 2005. I absolutely did not think any of that was cool.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Uhh speak for yourself.

Really makes me want to hear what Justin Bieber has to say.... Not that I care what he has to sing or anything but I bet he has some major ammunition against Combs

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Everybody should start calling him 'Diddly'

That's the Batman villain. Different guy.

Although now that I mention it, I don't think I ever saw the two of them in the same room...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Dang it I just said the same thing before I saw your comment. I’m glad I’m not the only one like this. 🤣

From Puff Daddy to P. Daddy to P. Diddy to just Diddy, and now The Diddler.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Why does The Diddler sound like a Batman villain?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I know right? No son, those things on his costume aren't question marks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

He wouldn't be a batman villain for long. Pretty sure the other villains at Arkham would take him out Dhamer style the first chance they got. They're mustache twirling evil bad guys from a horror show, NOT child molesters.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

It never ends with Diddy.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

You think he killed Biggy now? More sales for albums and stuff.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Has anybody else noticed the flood of comments saying "Nice try diddy", or some variation of it on political posts on insta? It's a sad and concerning sight, even accounting for much of it being bots, and it being a terrible place to begin with.
