Aubrey O’Day Celebrates “Win For Women” After Diddy’s Arrest

by

Aubrey O’Day was ahead of the curve. The singer worked under Diddy for several years as part of the group Danity Kane. Since her time with the group ended, however, O’Day has been one of Diddy’s most vocal critics. She made it very clear that the Bad Boy mogul was far more sinister than his public persona suggested. She has seemingly been proven right, at least in the court of public opinion. Diddy has gone from hip hop icon to disgraced public figure in a matter of months. Diddy was arrested on September 16, and Aubrey O’Day could not have been happier.

The singer took to Twitter to celebrate Diddy’s arrest. “The purpose of justice is to provide an ending and allow us the space to create a new chapter,” she wrote. She also broadened the significance of the Diddy arrest to include all of the mogul’s alleged victims. “Women never get this,” the singer noted. “I feel validated. Today is a win for women all over the world, not just me.” Aubrey O’Day concluded her Twitter statement with an even more optimistic note. “Things are finally changing.”

Aubrey O’Day Felt “Vindicated” For Diddy’s Alleged Victims

Aubrey O’Day has prided herself on speaking out against Diddy over the last decade. She even claimed that the mogul tried to buy her silence by giving her a chance to buy the publishing rights to her music. O’Day recounted the offer during the TMZ documentary The Downfall of Diddy. She claimed that it was less about publishing rights than keeping her from leveling accusations at Diddy and his associates in the future. Aubrey O’Day alleged that the contract she was offered included a “full release against all claims against Diddy and many other players.” Needless to say, she did not sign it.

In fact, Aubrey O’Day predicted that the publishing offer was the quiet before a legal storm. “It asked me to not have access to my experience and my story anymore,” she explained. “Then, I realized something really bad is coming.” The “really bad” is seemingly underway. Diddy has been denied bail, meaning he will be held behind bars until his trial gets underway. If convicted, according to BBC, the mogul will be facing fifteen years to life in prison.

Diddy’s Courtroom Sketch Released After Mogul Enters Not Guilty Plea

by

The Diddy saga has kicked into high gear this week. The disgraced mogul was arrested on Monday, September 16. He was charged with sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, in addition to racketeering. Diddy entered a not guilty plea, but was promptly denied bail by the U.S. Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky. Both him and U.S. Magistrate Tarnofsky were depicted in a courtroom sketch that has been released online.

The sketch was posted by independent reporter Meghann Cuniff on Twitter. Diddy, real name Sean Combs, can be seen wearing a blue prison shirt. Predictably, the mogul has a dour expression on his face. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams issued a statement requesting that Diddy be denied bail on the grounds that he may try to leave the country. “If released, he remains a serious risk of flight,” the U.S. Attorney stated. He also described the Bad Boy founder as being at “a significant risk of obstructing justice.”

Diddy’s Bail Was Denied Despite Offering $50 Million

U.S. Magistrate Tarnofsky agreed. According to Variety, Tarnofsky considered a number of different alternatives for bail. The judge considered releasing Diddy to house arrest. The mogul even offered a sizable bond amount of $50 million. Ultimately, however, the risk of releasing Diddy was deemed too high. Tarnofsky stated the “presumption in favor of detention has not been rebutted” by the defense. “The defendant’s long history of violent conduct makes clear that even the most stringent bail conditions will not suffice to ensure the safety of the community,” she added. The producer’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, tried to argue against the decision by citing his cooperation up to this point.

The lawyer argued that the mogul has proven himself trustworthy in recent months. He claimed that his client surrendered his passport to authorities. He also claimed that his client has kept the government informed on his domestic travel as an “act of goodwill.” None of these acts proved to win over the judge, however. Diddy will be held in custody until his trial gets underway. If convicted, the mogul will face up to fifteen years in prison.

Diddy’s Lawyer Alleges That Cassie Hit Diddy Prior To Hotel Hallway Attack

by

It’s not a good time to be Diddy. The mogul has been arrested and denied bail. He’s entered a not guilty plea to the multiple sex trafficking charges that have been leveled at him. To make matters worse, public opinion on Diddy has never been, well, worse. Celebrities are coming out of the woodwork to criticize the Bad Boy founder, or to distance himself from his decades of alleged crimes. Diddy’s lawyer, however, has tried tirelessly to reframe the narrative. Marc Agnifilo addressed the infamous security video in which his client attacked ex-girlfriend, Cassie. He then tried to make a case against Cassie. Inner City Press shared Agnifilo’s statements on Twitter.

Agnifilo alleged that Cassie was actually the person who started the physical altercation. He accused the singer of striking Diddy in the head prior to running out into the hallway. “[It was] an issue that Mr. Combs had more than one girlfriend,” he told reporters. “Victim-1 was looking through his phone and saw that – then hit him in the head with a cellphone, and took his clothing.” Agnifilo didn’t try to defend Diddy’s actions in the hallway. He merely tried to provide context to make his client seem like less of an instigator. The allegations against Cassie didn’t stop there, however.

Diddy’s Lawyer Alleges That Cassie Cheated On His Client

Agnifilo alleged that Cassie frequently cheated on Diddy during their time together. He went as far as to allege that Diddy hired the personal trainer that Cassie would eventually marry. “These two people were in love,” the lawyer claimed to the court. “Victim-1 ended up marrying the trainer that Mr. Combs got for her. They had been cheating on each other for years.” Marc Agnifilo concluded his allegations against Cassie by claiming that she looks upon her time with the mogul fondly. “Years later, she realized she had a good thing with Mr. Combs,” he stated.

The lawsuit that Cassie filed against Diddy in November 2023 suggests otherwise. The singer accused Diddy of raping and physically abusing her throughout their relationship. Diddy agreed to settle out of court a day after the lawsuit was filed. The footage of the hotel hallway assault exposed whatever sins Diddy tried to cover up by settling, however. The Bad Boy mogul’s reputation has never fully recovered. Cassie has yet to respond to Marc Agnifilo’s new allegations.

Diddy’s Sons Come Out To Support Him During Arraignment In NYC

by

Diddy’s sons, Justin Combs and Christian Combs, traveled to New York City on Tuesday to support their father at his arraignment in court. Authorities arrested the Bad Boy mogul the night before and have since published a 14-page indictment with claims of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking against him. At the hearing, his attorney, Marc Agnifilo, fought to get him out on bail, offering up $50 million and house arrest, but was unsuccessful. “He’s going to clear his name and we’re going to stand by his side as he does. We believe in him wholeheartedly,” Agnifilo told reporters afterward, as caught by CNN.

A key part of Agnifilo’s argument was that Diddy flew to New York City voluntarily to be arrested. “He came here to turn himself in. Why doesn’t the government want him to turn himself in? Because then they can’t ask for detention,” Agnifilo said. “All we can do is show good faith. He got on a plane and he came here. They arrested a guy who came here to turn himself in.”

The prosecution, on the other hand, claimed Diddy has reached out to witnesses and victims in the past. “Witnesses have universally expressed fear of the defendant,” Assistant US Attorney Emily Johnson remarked in the courtroom. Judge Robyn Tarnofsky ended up telling Diddy and his team that “this is a crime that happens behind closed doors, even when pretrial services is monitoring,” while rejecting the bail offer.

Cardi B & Offset Sued For Not Paying To Use Mansion In “Like What” Music Video

by

Cardi B and Offset are being named in a brand-new lawsuit, according to TMZ. This is stemming from one of the handful of singles that the former has put out this year, “Like What (Freestyle)”. At the time, the on and off hip-hop couple were on, and the former Migos member was supporting her vision for the track. He is the credited director for the single’s music video, which is why both are facing this legal issue right now. The majority of the visuals were taken at a luxurious and modern mansion Beverly Hills, California.

There was a rental fee, but allegedly, Cardi B and Offset never forked over the money. In fact, the plaintiff, which is the owner of the property, claims they didn’t because they knew it was expensive. Knowing that, the rapper’s representatives allegedly contacted the homeowner and said that a random client was trying to film a TikTok video. Due to that lie, he wiped away the rental fee.
