Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs set for trial over sex trafficking, ‘prostitution and attempted kidnapping’ claims

P Diddy will stand trial next May, it has been revealed.

The rapper, whose real name is Sean Combs, was arrested last month on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Judge Subramanian scheduled the trial for May 5 as the trial’s date. However, according to TMZ, federal prosecutors revealed their investigation is ongoing and may lead to additional charges against Diddy after the judge informed Diddy’s attorneys that the trial would start in May.

Diddy is still denying any allegations made against him, and he had requested bail three more times since his arrest. Diddy is currently imprisoned in Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York. He is currently facing a total of 100 sexual abuse-related charges (across both criminal and civil).

In May, Diddy will show up in court (via Getty Images).

As he appeared in court on Thursday, members of his family arrived, including his mum, Janice Combs, and his twin daughters. Previous to that, Janice had previously reassured her son that he was not a monster by expressing her support for him.

Following rumors that they had visited the rapper while he was incarcerated, according to TMZ, the pair made the appearance. In support of their father, Justin and King Combs, both of whom were present at Diddy’s house, also showed up at the New York court.

Since the Bad Boy Record founder’s initial arrest, it’s said upwards of 120 victims have come forward, but Diddy maintains his innocence. His legal team claimed in a statement that he cannot address every meritless allegation in the rip-roaring media circus.

Mr. Combs categorically and categorically denies any allegations that he sexually abused anyone, including minors, as false and defamatory. He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation. “

As early as the spring, Diddy was requesting a trial. In a letter to the US Department of Justice, Diddy’s legal team requested that the prosecution’s investigators provide the evidence they needed to “review the evidence in advance of a spring trial date.” Diddy continued to “proclaim his right to a speedy trial,” according to the document, which was seen by The Mirror, and stated that he had requested an April or May 2025 trial date.

Following the raids on Diddy’s homes in Miami and Los Angeles in March, the filing requested access to the documents. The government stated in the document that they have several terabytes of electronic material, including phones, laptops, tablets, hard drives, and cloud accounts from Diddy and third parties. They’re also looking at ‘ physical evidence seized in searches of the defendant’s residence’.

Saoirse Ronan ‘sad he wasn’t going to be around’ after Ryan Gosling pulls out of iconic movie

Saoirse Ronan has opened up about feeling “sad” over Hollywood hunk Ryan Gosling’s departure from the 2009 film ‘ The Lovely Bones’. Gosling left because of misunderstandings in her creative vision, which had originally been intended to portray Jack Salmon, the father of Susie Salmon in Ronan.

Chatting on the ‘ Happy Sad Confused ‘ podcast, the ‘ Barbie ‘ star reminisced: “I just loved Ryan. And his dog, George”. She admitted her sorrow at his absence from the project, noting: “I was just sad that he wasn’t gonna be around”. However, she expressed understanding for the departure saying, “But I think the reasons why they parted were totally valid”.

Despite the shake-up, Ronan remains positive, stating, “I have spoken to both now, and I complete – it happens, you know what I mean? It’s not personal, necessarily, it’s just sometimes you’re not on the same page”. Mark Wahlberg’s choice, which Ronan backs because of his father’s life experience, “Mark was able to step in, and he was a father,” was ultimately accepted by the role of Jack Salmon.

He allegedly left The Lovely Bones (PA) after pulling out.

She added: “He was a father to, like, I don’t know, three kids? He most likely had a similar incident that Ryan thought he didn’t. Saoirse Ronan did, however, circle back to collaborate with Gosling in his directorial endeavour ‘ Lost River’, which she describes as a “great” spell. Reflecting on their reunion, she added: “Ryan was like 27. He was young. The experience was fantastic when we later worked together.

Her admiration for Gosling is evident as she concludes, “He’s just, like, the same. He doesn’t change”. ‘ Lost River ‘ boasted a cast including Christina Hendricks, Matt Smith, Eva Mendes, and Barbara Steele, in a tale of a mother dragged into a grim underbelly.

It comes after Saoirse revealed that she had auditioned for Luna Lovegood while chatting on Jimmy Kimmel’s show. When Jimmy inquired about previous roles that she still wishes she had filled or that she would not have had to take on today. Saoirse claimed that she occasionally passes on roles before resuming her role in the movie.

She said that she didn’t get the part of Luna Lovegood. Saoirse added: “I had gone up for Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter years ago, because it was the Irish character… Because I was too young, I was too young to read a scene from Harry Potter, which was the most awesome thing ever.

Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York ‘saddened’ as she makes passionate plea for children

Sarah, Duchess of York admits it makes her “sad” that some children are left struggling.

The Duchess, 64, has worked hard in recent years, becoming a best-selling author while keeping her grandmother in mind. Her daughter Princess Beatrice, 36, is mum to Sienna, while her youngest, Princess Eugenie is a mum to August and Ernest.

The Duke of York, the ex-wife of Prince Andrew, is well known for entertaining her grandchildren and admits it bothers her that some children don’t have books in their family homes. Following the announcement that Beatrice will have her second child, Sarah told the Mirror: “It’s so important that we make the next generation interested in reading. I’m so saddened by the fact that 30% of five-year-olds are not reading to the expected standards and that one in twelve children are not reading at home.

Speaking about her work with the Children’s Literacy Charity as their patron, the Duchess added: “That’s why I work with the Children’s Literacy Charity as patron. They assign the most underprivileged children in society with specially trained literacy tutors to help them close the literacy gap. I’ve written over 70 books now, many of them for children, including my latest, Flora and Fern: Wonder in the Woods, which is out this week”.

The Duchess is passionate about more than just reading. Brits have seen the decline of the high street in recent years as a result of large-name brands and independent stores being forced to close their doors due to rising rents and declining patron numbers.

I’m very excited to be signing at Gerrards Cross Bookshop in Buckinghamshire this year because I’m passionate about supporting independent bookshops. Please join me there. The Duchess will be entertaining fans at the Windsor Castle Estate book store, which is just a short drive away from her charming home, Royal Lodge.

However, she is also helping children to ensure the next generation do not go without books through her work via her charity, Sarah’s Trust. Through my own charity, Sarah’s Trust, I’ll also be donating some of my books to neighborhood schools. Everyone can support bookshops on Bookshop Day by attending their local independent bookshop in person, making purchases from the shop’s website, or taking part in a bookshop event on the day.

After Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, were expecting their second child, the royal struggled to hold her hand. The new royal baby 11th in line to the throne and will be a little brother or sister for the couple’s three-year-old daughter Sienna, and Edo’s son and Beatrice’s stepson, eight-year-old Wolfie. A touching family photo of her daughter and granddaughter, Sienna, was shared on Fergie’s Instagram page.

She captioned the photo: “A very proud GiGi/Mum today. Such a heartfelt and incredible blessing. Wolfie, August, Ernie and Sienna will be over the moon to have the fifth member of the five aside”! In addition, she also wrote: “Darling Beatrice. Words can’t quite express how excited I am to welcome yet another special member to your lovely family. I’m once more filled with gratitude and happiness because I can be a granny. One of my greatest joys has been watching you develop as a mother, and it’s been a blessing to see your family grow even more.

” Our family is growing, and so too is the love that surrounds us. I’m looking forward to meeting this little one and the wonderful memories we will create together. All my love. “

Yung Filly pictured in handcuffs as he’s led through airport after arrest

After his arrest, Yung Filly was pictured wearing handcuffs as he was escorted through the airport.

The YouTuber, who co-hosts The Chunkz and Filly Show, was detained in Brisbane on October 8 and taken to Perth for a hearing the following day. After his performance at the Bar1 Nightclub in Hillarys on September 27th, Filly, real name Andres Felipe Valencia Barrientos, is accused of sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s without her knowledge at his Perth hotel on September 28.

In handcuffs and video that was made available online on Wednesday, Filly was seen being escorted by two airport security personnel. He was taken to a hearing in Perth. As he exited the airport, he was placed in the back of a car. Before the car departed, he observed the driver from the window.

He has since been accused of four counts of sexual penetration without authorization, three counts of assault, and one count of putting pressure on a person’s neck to stop them from breathing normally or from getting in the air. He performed on stage at the Gold Coast’s Havana Nightclub two days prior to his arrest.

Onlookers reported that Filly was handcuffed as she was being led through the airport.

On Thursday, he showed up at Perth Magistrates Court, where his bail application was adjourned until later that day. According to ABC Australia, Perth barrister Seamus Rafferty SC is reportedly defending the British entertainment personality. According to the publication, Rafferty said of Filly’s bail: “This has already made headlines. Given the nature of social media, the nature of people jumping on bandwagons, given the nature of (the) power imbalance between the parties”.

According to Magistrate Tanya Watt’s strict conditions, Filly was freed under the terms of the case, which included no contact with the alleged victim and limited social media access. Additionally, his bail requires him to remain in Western Australia while regularly checking in with the police and post a £50, 000 cash guarantee. Watts also refrained from attempting to imprison the BBC presenter.

Images of the woman’s injuries were also provided to the magistrate. “No ordinary person can consent in those circumstances”, the prosecutor said of the pictures, adding: “Across her body is a history of violent acts, … we say those photos and what is alleged is beyond the pale, beyond what could be considered to be a consensual act”.

In court, Filly’s lawyer revealed that his client earns $700, 000AUD (£360, 000) a year from social media alone. Nearly two million YouTube subscribers and over three million Instagram followers are Filly.

Richard Madeley’s daughter Chloe hits out at ‘dirty’ ‘nepo-baby’ claims

The latest celebrity to speak out against nepotism was Chloe Madeley, who referred to the term “nepot baby” as a “dirty word.”

The 37-year-old, who is the daughter of TV presenters Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, is a personal trainer and TV personality. Last year, she starred in ITV’s At Home With the Madeley’s about her and her family. She also appeared alongside her father on Pointless Celebrities, Small Fortune and many more programmes.

Her first big brother role was to air a few episodes of Big Mouth in 2008. She also appeared on her parents’ talk show as a reporter. In 2011, Chloe placed fifth on The Jump and placed third on Dancing on Ice in 2011. On her So Wrong, It’s Right podcast, the actress, who transitioned her career into health and fitness, recently sat down for a chat with Love Island star Olivia Attwood.

She discussed her feelings about the term ” nepo baby,” which is used to describe people who may have had opportunities in a particular field as a result of their familial connections. She said: “This whole nepotism, nepo baby, it’s such a dirty word, and actually, people don’t realise how hard that is to hear about yourself.

The star joined in on the nepotism conversation (@sowrongitsrightpod)

It’s actually quite common for you to naturally follow your family’s footsteps because that’s the world you know and that’s the one you’re a bit educated in, regardless of whether they work in law, medicine, or entertainment. My parents have nothing to do with health and fitness, and you can’t say that it’s nepotistic.

“But what I can say is that because of my television career, I had a built-in audience on social media, which makes it simpler to follow after you’ve finished something.” But I can tell you that any of those young people who have kind of lived through the worst times in their lives were when I was in the spotlight. And the times when I can’t stand being alone in my gym are the happiest.

Olivia, a TV personality, disputed Chloe’s point and asked why some people found nepotism repugnant. She said: “People don’t choose their parents, what do you want them to do, sit at home and knit”? Although she acknowledged that having a “nepo baby” had advantages, she said that her large media following was attributable to who her parents are.
