Diddy’s Latest Judge Denies That Prosecutors Purposely Leaked The Harrowing Cassie Footage

Diddy’s efforts to free himself from jail have not once been successful. Even though he’s been trying to make his bail packages appealing, no judge has taken the bait. Because of this, he effectively and recently decided to back out of any further attempts in the future. “Mr. Combs does not seek to appeal the district court’s denial of his renewed motion and hereby moves to voluntarily dismiss the appeal. Mr. Combs hereby states that (a) counsel has explained the effect of voluntary dismissal of the appeal; (b) he understands counsel’s explanation, and (c) he desires to withdraw and voluntarily dismiss the appeal.”

That is part of the court filing that was sent in back on December 13. While Diddy is moving away from this plan, he recently tried a different approach. According to Billboard, an order was issued earlier today from the embattled mogul. In it, he was arguing that the physical assault footage against ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura was leaked by prosecutors. He believes it was spread by them to “taint the jury pool,” thus leading an unfair trial.

Diddy’s Back Remains Up Against The Wall

However, Judge Arun Subramanian, the latest of the three to oversee this case, denied this. He’s done so by shutting down Diddy’s request to see this through in court hearings. Mr. Subramanian argues that he “doesn’t point to any sound basis for this conclusion.” He adds, “Combs never considers the possibility that many people beyond Victim-1 and government agents likely had access to the video.”

That includes “Combs’s team (who paid security officers at the Intercontinental Hotel “$100,000 in cash to destroy” the video) and hotel employees and contractors.” Also in this denial, the judge made sure to make things clear regarding information and how to share it. “The court has already taken steps in this regard,” he begins. “It is open to tailored applications for relief as this case continues. The court once again reminds the government and its agents that if specific information comes to light showing that they leaked prohibited information, action will be taken.”

Roger Bonds Thinks Diddy & Cassie Assault Video Proves The Truth Behind All Their Stories

Roger Bonds’ recent interview with DJ Vlad on VladTV continues to provide some interesting claims and insights into the Diddy situation. Moreover, the Bad Boy mogul’s former bodyguard told Vlad of how he perceived the reaction to the video of Sean Combs assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway. Bonds told the story of how Puffy was intoxicated in this incident, and how many folks initially expressed skepticism at abuse claims that he and Cassie brought forth against Puff Daddy. However, Bonds also revealed how the release of the video also made him feel slightly vindicated, as the narrative they painted around their former colleague could no longer be denied, at least in part.

Of course, Diddy’s multiple other lawsuits and accusations of sexual assault, abuse, and sex trafficking aren’t all immediately proven by a single video. What the clip did show us is that at least this specific incident occurred, regardless of how it paints other accusations. It’s still very much a gray area, since there hasn’t been a lot of explicit legal development when it comes to the search for accountability. Hopefully this changes soon with more details and investigations that get further to the truth behind all these accusations.

Still, recent changes and actions suggest that Diddy will take a public backseat for a while. For example, he and his team recently wiped his Instagram account’s posts completely, one of which was a video apology to Cassie after this video leaked. The music executive and businessman’s team relayed that he still stands by the apology despite taking it down. They also denied the idea that he took his posts down for any particular reason.

Meanwhile, others spent their time recently thinking of ways in which Diddy could escape this public scrutiny, including Michael Blackson. “There’s probably three ways [for him] coming back to life,” he suggested. “Probably the Nation Of Islam. Number one, probably, right? You know, go out there, go talk to [Louis] Farrakhan, join the team. I mean put him on the street [to] sell bean pies, like they did back in [the] 90s. Two, just join the LGBTQIE [sic]. I’m not sure if I missed any letters or not. Join them […] Turn into a pastor [or] something; turn into a Ma$e. Y’know, become a pastor, or just pack this s**t and go to some village somewhere and change your name.”

Beyonce & Megan Thee Stallion Perform In Houston

2023 really was the year of Beyonce, with her RENAISSANCE tour being one of the cultural events of the year. Of course, that included an electrifying performance in her hometown of Houston. However, she wasn’t alone. Fellow Houston songstress Megan The Stallion joined Beyonce on stage during the September 23 show at NRG Stadium. The two musical powerhouses performed together, with Megan rocking a camo bodysuit. Megan flexed her twerking prowess before giving her co-star a hearty “I love you Beyonce!” during an ad-lib exchange. The crowd at NRG Stadium went absolutely wild for the pair. They were bathed in an intense red light during most of their performance. “I was there. And the stadium was shaking. The energy was insane. Houston you WIN ❤🙌,” one fan wrote on social media.

However, Megan’s appearance won’t come as a surprise to many eagle-eyed fans. The weekend before the show, it was reported that Megan had pulled out of the Global Citizen Fest in New York, which also took place on September 23. Internet sleuths put the pieces together and reasoned that Megan had likely received an offer to guest with Beyonce in their shared hometown. This was confirmed in the run-up to the show when sources told various outlets that Megan had chosen to perform with Beyonce instead.
