He Thought Of Himself As A King

[naomi24]

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 but no more.   His fall from grace has been swift, with an extensive federal criminal case charging him in a sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. More than a dozen civil lawsuits have also been filed, accusing the music mogul of assaults, rape and sexual extortion. One lawyer said he represents more than 100 alleged victims who claim they were sexually abused.

I've only vaguely heard of this person but, like so many others, it seems he thought his celebrity was a Get out of Jail Free card.  It wasn't because that's exactly where he is.

Answerbank members are more likely to remember

there is no good evidence that AB members remember anything

It's about time, the man has always been a sleaze.

I would have thought he was suicidal.

Mr Spacey would be welcome at my door for a blether and a drink.

Found guilty by the Mucky Media - no change there then.

We won't know whether found guilty in Court until May 2025.

He thought himself a king, I thought him a 'king knob.

you never know, Michael Jackson got away with everything, perhaps because he didn't do anything in front of cameras except moonwalking. His fans still love him. Savile escaped justice too, being a friend of the good and great.

//Has he been found guilty? //

Unless it's gone through the judicial system ymb believes nothing about nothing.

He's not prepared to admit water is wet until it's been declared as such in a court of law.

Retrocop was the same. I've not seen him for while. Hope he's OK.

generally, I'm with ymb on this, social media justice being highly unreliable and often hysterical.

However, the video link provided by sp1814 is pretty damning and Mr Diddy has in fact apologised for the assault, so I think we can take it that, convicted or not, he did it. (I don't know about other charges.)

It must be an "age" thing - I had never heard of this person or Liam Payne whose demise is splashed over all today's front pages.🙄

"The News" has gone all Brass Eye on us in recent years.

Hysterical reporting of mundane events whipping up a frenzy of ill-informed, sinew straining feelings in the easily led.

Man tumbling from balcony affects me not at all and if folk don't know about rappers by now then hell mend them.
