Disclaimer: If you’re unable or unwilling to put your feelings aside or understand this is an opinion, don’t bother continuing to read. This piece isn’t designed to belittle or strip dignity from those affected by Sean Combs. Keep in mind there may be facts and evidence unbeknownst to me; I’m only going off the best of my knowledge of the case. Obviously I would never support a man who has forced women against their will – for anything. Nor do I support anyone being physically abusive towards their partner. I’m not some evil bxtch who condones what he’s been accused of, I’m simply questioning something that is very questionable. Keep in mind, this isn’t about him beating up Cassie, Biggie’s death or whatever else. This is based on the media scrutiny on his alleged sexual assault and sex trafficking. With that said – let’s begin!
Everytime I watch an interview of someone discussing Diddy and what he was supposedly like during their time with him, it never makes any sense. I just watched a clip from an interview with his former assistant. He said Diddy would be with “a younger female” who’s more “impressionable” due to a power dynamic.
A younger female – how young are we talking? Puff is now 55. The references aren’t dated. The people aren’t named. “Oh but they’re victims” yes and victim names get released all the time. Considering this is a high profile case, obviously the public (aka me) would like specifics. A “younger female” is really too general and is left up to interpretation. But obviously the people who want to believe he’s guilty, will just assume whatever they need to confirm what they believe.
Now IF this assistant dude gave specifics, like “it was a 15 year old” while he’s in his mid- 20s or 30s, then yeah I might have to agree he should be in a prison cell. But all we have are generic statements – a whole bunch of nothing.
Imagine being Diddy, having all these wild parties you thought people were having a ball… or having sex with a chic for her to slap you with r#p3 charges 20 years later. Maybe it was his “normal” and though it’s morally questionable, these people still chose to associate with him so he didn’t see it as wrong or realise how people felt. I mean, in his defence, they only decided to speak up decades later. 🙄 Did the victims even feel like a victim back then, when it was occurring? And by occurring, I’m talking about the endless Diddy parties that many of these “victims” chose to continue attending.
Did they even try to leave? And stop saying you were scared of how powerful he was and what he would do. Because you’re obviously not scared to drag him now. And IF Diddy is the powerful monster they claim he is, I’m sure he can still call the shots.
As for being “impressionable” – a lot of people are impressionable. Diddy is Diddy. The victims knew who he was before they decided to associate with him, so I doubt he had to try very hard to impress anyone.
And as for mentioning a power dynamic. If we’re discussing “power” dynamics, the only power dynamic I’d like to enquire about is the one between the parents of the “young” victims, and Sean Combs. Because how are you going to let your underage daughter be in the presence of a hip hop mogul? And where were you?
Now, my theory is this has gotta be some kind of set up. The hotel that released the footage of Diddy beating up Cassie, had the footage for a hot minute. So why release it now?
Because when Cassie filed the lawsuit, Diddy denied the allegations but still settled for $30M. Regardless, he denied it. So then the hotel released the video, which clearly made him a liar to the public (because he obviously everyone can see he did assault her when he said he didn’t).
Now I’ll assume this set the foundation for why we should all believe he’s guilty. He lied about the Cassie claims, he must be lying when he says he’s innocent.
If he did it…
Obviously if he has purposely drugged, r#p#d anyone, he deserves to rot in a prison cell.
Should he rot in prison for assaulting Cassie? No. That settled.
So this entire Diddy case is based around allegations by a bunch of people saying he “made” them do this and that. And they were “impressionable” at the time. 🙄 What’s the line between impressionable and stupid? Like what did you think you were gonna do at those parties? Make love, sleep in his arms and have him cook breakfast for you the next morning?
You knew what you were doing. You know who you were dealing with. And you know you knew. Stop playing the damn victim.
I need facts. Did he drug them without their awareness? Or were the “victims” willingly taking drugs and later on feel some sort of shame or regret for what they engaged in?
My favourite Diddy victim so far is the one who said he “flew her out” to “sexually assault” her, several times over 8 months. 😂 you’d think you’d learn after the first couple times sweetheart but who am I to judge? I was with my abusive partner for years and kept going back too. Because I was stupid. I can’t be out here painting him out to be the devil when I could’ve just left and didn’t. I promise you, accountability will provide a sense of empowerment that no amount of crying in interviews will.
As for Cassie, there are women who have been assaulted by their partners to be left with not one cent, let alone $30Mil. Music career might be a tad washed up but at least she got a chance. She stop playing victim too.
Obviously the more information/ evidence/ news released about this, that actually shows him doing everything he’s accused of… I’d change my mind. So I’m not saying this to be a fruit loop or to defend him. I’d be saying it about any man – famous or not, who’s getting picked apart by any and everyone with no actual evidence. But I genuinely don’t think he’s as guilty as he’s being painted out to be.
I also don’t think it’s the “powerful man” having wild parties that’s the issue. He can do what and who he wants. I think it’s the people -“victims” – who chose to associate with this “powerful man” for whatever reason – then blaming the outcome on his power. When reality is, if you took a moment to realise your own power – like the power of choice and realise you could’ve chosen not to associate with him, you might actually feel a sense of inner empowerment rather than crying and feeling sorry for yourself.
And as someone who has been in a relationship in the past with an abusive man, I do have a leg to stand on in saying this. Because there ARE people who wake up to abuse for NO reason. There are people who get abused by partners unexpectedly, sometimes murdered. So please don’t take this out of context and apply it to every situation where physical/ mental/ emotional abuse is apparent. This is not a post on domestic violence or sexual assault, this is simply addressing the evidence in the case against Sean Combs.. and I need more than half-ass comments and accusations with no real concrete information before I believe something because it was a headline.
Please stop believing everything you read, just because you read it on the internet somewhere.
Not saying it’s not true either. Just something to consider.
