Sean “Diddy” Combs is set to appear before Judge Arun Subramanian on Monday (November 25) to determine whether he will be released on bond. While the potential release of the music mogul looms, his alleged victims are expressing growing fears for their safety.

According to NewsNation’s Banfield, Ariel Mitchell, an attorney representing multiple accusers, revealed that her clients have been receiving death threats. Among those targeted is Courtney Burgess, a grand jury witness who has publicly claimed to own the copyright to the alleged memoir of the late Kim Porter.

Victims Fear Obstruction of Justice

Mitchell shared that her clients, who are part of the ongoing legal proceedings against Diddy, are apprehensive about the implications of his potential release. “All of them are very apprehensive about their safety if he were to be granted bond,” she stated. “I am confident in the court. I am sure that the court will remain with their previous decision of no bond.”

The attorney explained that while the threats her clients have received are from unidentified sources, the timing has raised concerns about the possibility of Diddy’s influence. “There have been threats from people on the internet, but not, at least, what we don’t know from Diddy to be directly,” she clarified.

Mitchell: “I’m Not Scared”

Mitchell, who claims to have been vocal about Diddy’s alleged misconduct since 2021, admitted that she, too, has faced intimidation. Despite this, she maintained a firm stance. “I keep two straps on me,” she declared. “And I have God protecting me. I’m not scared. As long as he’s behind bars.”

While expressing relief that the judge has indicated Diddy would not be allowed to return to Miami if released, Mitchell acknowledged that his release could require heightened security measures. “If he were to come back to Miami, I probably would be a little nervous and probably beef up security,” she admitted. “I’m pretty good with my Smith and Wesson.”

Prosecutors Push to Deny Bond

Prosecutors have raised concerns that Diddy could obstruct justice if granted bond, citing his potential to influence witnesses or intimidate accusers. These arguments, coupled with the alleged threats against his accusers, will likely weigh heavily on the court’s decision.

What’s Next?

As Monday’s hearing approaches, all eyes will be on Judge Subramanian’s ruling. The decision could have far-reaching implications for the ongoing legal battle surrounding Diddy, his alleged victims, and the broader conversation about justice and safety in high-profile cases.

This is a developing story, and updates will follow as more information becomes available.

Diddy’s Legal Team To Call Escorts As Witnesses In Third Bail Hearing

Sean “Diddy” Combs is assembling a defense for his upcoming federal trial with plans to call six escorts as witnesses. The trial, set for May 2025, centers on serious charges including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. AllHipHop first reported the news on Sunday (November 24), revealing that Diddy’s legal strategy includes testimony from escorts who attended his infamous “freak-off parties.”

Currently detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, the 51-year-old music mogul and father of seven awaits a judge’s decision on his third bail proposal. If approved, Diddy would be required to reside in Manhattan, where he was originally arrested in September.

Diddy’s legal team intends to use the escorts’ testimonies to counter the prosecution’s allegations. According to the defense, these witnesses could challenge claims about systemic abuse facilitated through Diddy’s businesses and employees. Prosecutors, however, assert that these six individuals represent only a fraction of the witnesses involved. “Six escorts are only the beginning,” one prosecutor said, hinting at the scale of the alleged activities.

The charges against Diddy are extensive, including kidnapping, arson, bribery, drug-related offenses, and obstruction of justice. If convicted, he could face life in prison for racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. The latter charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years, while a separate charge of transportation for purposes of prostitution could add up to 10 years to his sentence.

Adding to his legal troubles, the court is examining allegations that Diddy violated jail protocols by attempting to contact witnesses. These claims could affect his chances of securing bail before the trial.

Despite his legal battles, Diddy has reportedly remained in good spirits. He recently celebrated his birthday with his children, expressing pride in their achievements during a call. However, prosecutors have accused him of using this same call to orchestrate intimidation tactics.

As the trial approaches in the Spring of next year, Diddy’s defense team is preparing for a high-stakes battle to counter the serious accusations against the music mogul.

Diddy Issues Cease-and-Desist Over Shyne Documentary Allegations

Sean “Diddy” Combs has sent a cease-and-desist letter regarding ESPN’s Andscape documentary on Shyne, ahead of its Nov. 18 release. Sources indicate Diddy was not attempting to block the film but wanted to ensure factual accuracy after Shyne alleged he took the fall for the Bad Boy Records founder in a high-profile 1999 nightclub shooting.

The incident, involving Diddy, Shyne (born Jamal Barrow), and Jennifer Lopez, led to a trial in 2001. Shyne was convicted of assault and reckless endangerment, serving eight years in prison, while Diddy was acquitted of all charges. Shyne, now a politician in Belize, reflects in the documentary that he was the “fall guy” for the rap mogul, adding, “When I said it [at the time], everyone was partying and having a great time with Diddy while I was left to rot in prison.”

According to Page Six, Diddy’s representatives deny the claims: “Mr. Combs categorically denies Mr. Barrow’s allegations, including any suggestion that he orchestrated Mr. Barrow to ‘take the fall’ or ‘sacrificed’ him by directing witnesses to testify against him. These claims are unequivocally false.”

Appearing on The Breakfast Club, Shyne revealed that he once attempted to spit in Diddy’s face when he visited him in jail. Additionally, he said that Diddy gave him $50,000 as an attempt of reconciliation.

“I felt he owed me something, he gave me $50 racks,” Shyne said. “I said you can’t be serious. 10 years? 50 racks.”

You can hear it all from Shyne below.

Shyne is letting it all fly when it comes to Diddy. Appearing on the Stephen A. Smith Show, Shyne stated he thinks Diddy is the devil and highlighted what he thinks caused their relationship to break down.

This isn’t the first time Shyne has spoken out about Diddy. Back in September, he also levied the “destroyed my life” claim.

“I was defending him and he turned around and called witnesses to testify against me,” Shyne said. “He pretty much sent me to prison. That is the context by which you must always describe that relationship.

“Let us not lose sight of what they cold heart facts are. This is not someone I vacationed with and enjoyed a great intimate relationship of brotherhood. This is someone who destroyed my life and who I forgave and for the better interest of Belize, because he was in a position at the time to give scholarships and invest, I would not deny the attempt of investment to Belize.”

Now, Diddy and his team have had enough. Reaching out to TMZ, a rep for the jailed mogul said: “Mr. Combs categorically denies Mr. Barrow’s allegations, including any suggestion that he orchestrated Mr. Barrow to ‘take the fall’ or ‘sacrificed’ him by directing witnesses to testify against him. These claims are unequivocally false.”

The rep also said, “Mr. Combs was acquitted of all charges related to the 1999 Club New York incident and has consistently maintained his innocence. He cannot accept or condone any characterization of his actions as ‘demonic’ or ‘malicious.’”

But they weren’t done, “Mr. Combs appreciates the path Mr. Barrow has pursued and wishes him continued success. It is unfortunate that Mr. Barrow has chosen to revisit these allegations. Mr. Combs trusts that responsible journalism will weigh both the established legal outcomes and Mr. Combs’ positive, longstanding support for those he has worked with.”

Army Of Escorts Plan To Testify On Diddy’s Behalf

Sean “Diddy” Combs may have a strong defense in his upcoming trial, supported by six escorts willing to testify on his behalf. AllHipHop broke the news of new evidence on Sunday (Nov. 24). The mogul is preparing for the fight of his life in a federal sex trafficking case set to begin in May 2025. The 51-year-old father of seven currently awaits the judge’s ruling on his third bail proposal. If accepted, Diddy will have to reside in Manhattan, where he was originally arrested in September. 

The mogul plans to summon escorts from his notorious “freak-off parties” to contest the allegations against him. His legal team aims to dismantle this narrative by calling on escorts to testify. The defense contends their accounts will undermine the prosecution’s portrayal of the events. However, prosecutors suggest the pool of potential witnesses is far larger. “Six escorts are only the beginning,” a member of the prosecution stated, hinting at broader participation in the alleged activities.

Escorts Appear To Be Coming To Diddy’s Defense

Diddy allegedly used his businesses and employees to enable systemic abuse, facing charges of kidnapping, arson, bribery, drug offenses, and obstruction of justice. If convicted, he faces a maximum life sentence for racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. The latter charge carries a mandatory minimum of 15 years. Additionally, a charge of transportation for purposes of prostitution could add up to 10 years to his sentence.

As the trial unfolds, a judge will review claims that Diddy violated jail protocols by attempting to contact witnesses, which could impact his eligibility for bail. For now, Diddy remains detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, awaiting the next chapter of his legal battle. The mogul has appeared in positive spirits throughout the ordeal. His children celebrated with him for his birthday and he shared how much he was proud of them. The call accused the mogul of using it to orchestrate threatening tactics.

Diddy’s Request For House Arrest Until His 2025 Trial Was Reportedly Denied By A Judge

On September 16, Sean “Diddy” Combs was taken into federal custody amid his sex trafficking allegations. The following day, Diddy was formally charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Since then Diddy’s legal team has been hard at work trying to get the disgraced mogul released. After their requests for a bond were denied three times, Diddy’s lawyers have reportedly taken a different approach. According to US Weekly, Diddy’s legal team requested that he be released on house arrest until his trial, which is tentatively scheduled for May 2025.

But the outlet claims presiding US District Judge Arun Subramanian “immediately rejected the idea.”

“That is not going to work,” he said.

In the lawyers’ proposal they suggested Diddy be confided to his Star Island mansion in Miami, Florida. The property was one of Diddy’s estates that was raided by Homeland Security and local authorities in March.

They also offered Diddy’s heavily guarded Upper East Side apartment as a secondary option. Both offered were rejected by the judge. Instead, Diddy will remain at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center.

The latest (and fourth) bail decision regarding Diddy’s detainment will be decided next week according to the outlet.

Former Chef for Diddy Alleges Long-Standing Abuse Against Cassie Ventura Amid New Claims

Sean "Diddy" Combs to Receive Global Icon Award and Perform at 2023 "VMAs"

Sean "Diddy" Combs to Receive Global Icon Award and Perform at 2023 "VMAs"

The scrutiny surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs has intensified, as a former personal chef has come forward with explosive claims about abuse during his high-profile relationships with Kim Porter and Cassie Ventura. On Friday (November 22), Jourdan Cha’Taun, who worked for Combs during those periods, posted a powerful condemnation on Instagram, addressing recent legal maneuvers by Combs’ team and supporting Ventura, his ex-girlfriend.

Cha’Taun’s post, featuring an image of Ventura, criticized Combs’ legal claims that the infamous 2016 hotel assault video had been edited. Combs’ attorneys alleged the government provided the court with a manipulated version of the footage during his ongoing criminal case. Cha’Taun dismissed these assertions as “sick,” alleging they deflect from a history of abuse that spanned much of Ventura and Combs’ decade-long relationship.

“Seeing @cassie be re-victimized in the press, on the blogs & through that disingenuous ‘apology’ throughout the past year has been truly disgusting to see,” Cha’Taun wrote. “He was physically abusing her. For a LONG TIME! These are FACTS!!!!!!!!!!! To say that the video was edited, knowing there were WORSE BEATINGS, is truly SICK!”

The chef’s post doubled as a public declaration of support for Ventura and all survivors of domestic violence. “It’s unconscionable,” she continued. “I stand with Cassie, and all domestic violence victims, survivors, and those no longer with us.” Concluding her statement, she declared, “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.”

Screen Shot 2024 11 24 at 8.56.51 AM

A History of Allegations

Cha’Taun’s remarks come amid mounting evidence of Combs’ abusive behavior. Recently released text messages between Cassie and Combs reveal the aftermath of a 2016 altercation at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles. In one exchange, Cassie detailed the severity of the assault:

“I have a black eye and fat lip. You are sick for thinking it’s OK to do what you’ve done…I still have crazy bruising,” she wrote.

Other messages provided chilling insight into the violence she endured: “You drag me down the hall by my hair…I have bleeding cuts…You hit me in the head two good times.”

The harrowing texts, coupled with surveillance footage showing Combs chasing and assaulting Ventura in a hotel hallway, contradict the claims of video tampering alleged by Combs’ legal team.

A Voice From the Inside

Cha’Taun’s decision to speak out publicly underscores the severity of the allegations. This isn’t her first time discussing her experiences working for Combs. In 2019, following the death of Kim Porter, Cha’Taun shared a heartfelt tribute to Porter, recalling how she admired her strength and ability to “love and check Puff.” Cha’Taun described the pair as “the black version of Bonnie & Clyde,” highlighting Porter’s unique dynamic with Combs.

Her recent comments cast a shadow over the legacy of Combs, who is now under increased scrutiny for alleged patterns of abuse. Ventura, who has largely stayed out of the public eye since their breakup, has become a rallying point for advocates against domestic violence.

A Call to Action

Jourdan Cha’Taun’s bold statement adds weight to the growing chorus demanding accountability. By leveraging her platform to shed light on Ventura’s struggles, she has reignited critical conversations about abuse, power, and the responsibility to stand with survivors.

With these allegations taking center stage, the music mogul faces a reckoning that goes beyond legal filings and courtrooms—a public demand for truth and justice.

Attorney for Alleged Diddy Victims Sued for Assault and Malpractice

BREAKING Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs hit with 120 new sexual assault allegations 0 38 screenshot

Tony Buzbee, the attorney leading lawsuits on behalf of 120 alleged victims against Sean “Diddy” Combs, is now facing legal trouble himself. Buzbee is being sued by a woman who claims he assaulted her while representing her during her divorce proceedings.

According to TMZ, the woman alleges that during a heated encounter, Buzbee went into a “fit of rage,” pushing a champagne flute into her face. The incident reportedly chipped her tooth and required both medical and dental treatment.

In addition to assault, the woman is accusing Buzbee of malpractice, claiming his handling of her divorce cost her millions of dollars.

“Tony Buzbee is a hypocrite,” said Jeremy Bohrer, the woman’s attorney. “There is nothing worse than when a black hat masquerades as a white hat.”

Buzbee has denied the allegations, calling them “crazy fiction” and suggesting ulterior motives behind the lawsuit. “We won’t be bullied or silenced by frivolous cases being filed against me or my clients. All of this is false, and I won’t tolerate defamation,” he stated.

Tony Buzbee Sued For Assault While Representing Diddy Accusers

Tony Buzbee has become one of the key players in the Diddy saga. The attorney has taken on a staggering 120 plus clients who allege they were assaulted by Diddy at various points. Buzbee even launched a hotline so that other alleged victims could come forward with their stories of the Bad Boy founder. According to TMZ, though, Buzbee, has found himself in legal hot water. The attorney was sued for assault by an unnamed woman on November 21. The woman, going by Jane Doe, claims the assault took place several years ago.

Jane Doe claimed that she was in a public place with Tony Buzbee when the attorney flew into a rage. She alleges Buzbee pushed a flute of champagne into her face, which chipped her tooth. She also says she has hospital and dental records to support her alleged injury. The allegations don’t stop there. Doe accused Tony Buzbee of malpractice, and royally botching the divorce case that she initially hired him to handle. She went as far as to say that the attorney cost her millions of dollars in the long run. “Buzbee is a hypocrite,” says Doe’s lawyer, Jeremy Bohrer. “Nothing worse than when a black hat masquerades as a white hat.”

Tony Buzbee Called The Allegation “Crazy Fiction”

Unsurprisingly, Tony Buzbee is denying the allegations. The attorney claims that Jane Doe’s suit has no basis in truth. “I would ask if the lawyer bringing this silly case is friends with a lawyer from the firm that brought the other [extortion] case,” he told TMZ. “All this will be exposed soon.” Buzbee dispensed with the niceties while he was at it. “That’s crazy fiction,” he added. “Like really crazy. Like ridiculously crazy.” This is not the first time Tony Buzbee’s character has been called into question. Diddy’s legal team has attempted to present the attorney as using the Diddy case to boost his own celebrity.

After Buzbee set up the aforementioned “Diddy hotline,” the mogul’s team issued a statement criticizing it. “The press conference and 1-800 number that preceded today’s barrage of filings were clear attempts to garner publicity,” they claimed. “Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defences, and the integrity of the judicial process.” Tony Buzbee, meanwhile, intends to close the book on this new lawsuit. He told TMZ that he will not tolerate defamation or bullying through external forces.

On a recent episode of his YouTube cooking showBitch I Got My PotsTrick Daddy spent over an hour demonstrating his cooking skills, making homemade burgers and fries from scratch alongside his guest star, Ms. Pat, while also providing a colorful commentary that had nothing to do with food.

At one point Ms. Pat asked him if he’d been to any Diddy parties to which he responded: “they don’t invite no n***as like me to Diddy parties. My homeboys would rob them bitches” before giving a joking demonstration of robbing people before summarizing “I’m not that kind of dude.”

He followed up with the caveat that he feels sorry for Diddy and others who may be associated with him because the public judges before knowing all the facts. The two also debated the reality of a thousand bottles of baby oil.

Diddy Sued For Sexual Assault By Two New Alleged Victims

Diddy is currently awaiting trial behind bars. The disgraced mogul is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. This ensures that he cannot do any harm on the outside, but it has not stopped alleged victims from coming forward with harrowing Diddy stories. The Bad Boy founder has already had 120 sexual assault lawsuits filed against him in the last year. The number hiked up by two on November 19, however, thanks to attorney Tony Buzbee.

Buzbee, the man who is currently responsible for representing Diddy’s 120 accusers, came forth with two lawsuits on Tuesday. The first suit involved an unnamed woman who alleges that she was assaulted by Diddy in 2001. The woman claims that she was only 18 years old at the time. She encountered the mogul at a Halloween party in New York City. She alleges that she was escorted to a black SUV by Diddy’s bodyguards. The woman was reportedly given a drink that made her feel dizzy. She was then forced to perform oral sex on every single man in the vehicle. Jane Doe claims that Diddy sprayed her with champagne as she left the vehicle.

The second lawsuit, according to TMZ, occurred in 2022. The man claims Diddy drugged him while he attending one of the mogul’s house parties. He alleges the Bad Boy mogul laced his drink, which led to him losing consciousness. Once he woke up, Doe claims to have felt pain his rectum and in his anus. He went on to allege that he turned around and saw a naked and erect Diddy standing behind him and attempting to penetrate him. Doe claims he was ushered off the premises the following morning.

Both Jane and John Doe are seeking damages. Diddy’s attorneys issued a statement on Tuesday, the same day the new lawsuits were filed. The statement reasserts the mogul’s innocence in any matter pertaining to sexual assault. “Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process,” it read. “In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor.”
