P Diddy’s sex-trafficking trial is listening to the defence’s closing arguments today, but now the Bad Boy star has been accused of rape in a new lawsuit

P Diddy and his son, Justin Combs, have been accused of rape in a new lawsuit. The rapper’s current trial, in which he is accused of sex-trafficking, is being presented with the defence’s closing arguments today, but Diddy, real name Sean Combs, 55, faces fresh accusations, this time, along with his son.

As per the documents obtained by the Mirror US, a Louisiana woman claims she connected with Justin, 33, on Snapchat, before being invited to California where she was told she could further her career in the entertainment industry. She has accused Justin of luring her to his Los Angeles mansion in 2017 to be raped by his father and two other ‘masked men.’ The woman alleges she was offered alcohol, pills and marijuana before the three men arrived at the home, one of whom she says she believed was Diddy.

The rape was said to occur for several hours. Diddy’s lawyer denies the allegations.

Diddy’s team told the Mirror US, “No matter how many lawsuits are filed it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor. We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court.”

It comes as the Tell Me star’s bombshell sex trafficking trial nears it’s end. Prosecutors finished their closing arguments on Thursday after five hours. Yesterday, the prosecution argued to the jury that Combs is the “leader of a criminal enterprise”, who used violence and fear in “brutal crimes”

The defence’s closing arguments have begun today as defence attorney, Marc Agnifilo, told the jury it’s important to remember that none of the alleged victims called the police.

Instead, Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against Combs for $30m (£22m), of which she ended up winning $20m. The federal case was spurred by that lawsuit, so if Combs wasn’t rich, there would be no federal criminal trial, he said.

“He’s a self-made successful black entrepreneur,” he added, saying: “He’s built wonderful, sophisticated businesses.”

Agnifilo also reminded the jury that Jane – an ex-girlfriend of Combs who testified against him under a pseudonym – is still living in a house that Combs pays for.

“Jane came here and testified against him…I don’t know what she’s doing today, but whatever she’s doing it’s in a house he paid for. He takes care of people,” Agnifilo added.

Diddy was joined in court today by Justin and his twin daughters, who have supported their father in the final days of his sex-trafficking and racketeering trial following an emotional day yesterday.

On Thursday, Jessie and D’Lila stood beside the rapper as they sent support for the disgraced mogul during the trial’s closing arguments.

Early on in the trial, the twins were present to support Diddy, even sharing a social media post saying, “The past month has devastated our family. Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiralled into absurdity on social media.”

Diddy denies any wrongdoing in the federal charges brought against him.

The Mirror has contacted Diddy’s lawyer for comment on this story.

Without the presence of protesters, Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez were set to tie the knot on Friday at a lavish ceremony on an island in Venice’s lagoon.

“This city seems impossible,” says one resident! It can’t exist, but here it is, “! An enchanted Bezos described the incident as “a whizzing around the canals by boat” to a Repubblica journalist on Thursday.

How long will it be, claim the protesters, but here it is? While the party of billionaires claims that the burgeoning city is sunk, crowded by tourists, and victim of depopulation as locals are forced to flee amid skyrocketing rents.

On Thursday night at St. Mark’s Campanile, a sign read “No Kings, No Bezos.”

Serenaded

Kim and Khloe Kardashian, Oprah Winfrey, and Orlando Bloom have all been guests at Bezos’ wedding, which was co-hosted by the former news anchor and entertainment reporter.

The Aman hotel, a prestigious 16th-century palazzo on the Grand Canal with a view of the Rialto bridge, is where the tech magnate, 61, and Sanchez, 55, are staying.

Later on Friday, according to Italian media reports, they will exchange vows at a black-tie ceremony on San Giorgio Maggiore island.

Also available are Sanchez’s Whirlwind Romance and The Billionaire and The TV Anchor: Bezos.

The island’s large open-air amphitheatre, which faces directly across from St. Mark’s Square, is where the wedding is planned.

According to reports, Matteo Bocelli, the son of renowned opera singer Andrea Bocelli, will perform for the newlyweds.

The wedding dinner will be prepared by Michelin-starred chef Fabrizio Mellino, according to the Corriere della Sera, while Cedric Grolet, a French pastry chef, will make the cake.

Sanchez is alleged to have created 27 outfits for the occasion.

Dolce &amp, Gabbana, the other half of the duo Dolce &amp, was seen leaving the Aman hotel on Thursday, possibly following a fitting.

‘Enchanted’

Ivanka Trump, the daughter of US President Donald Trump, US football player Tom Brady, American fashion designer Spencer Antle, singer Usher, and Jordan’s Queen Rania were among the wedding guests who were photographed by paparazzi as they entered the boats.

On the island of San Giovanni Evangelista, the guests reportedly had lunch together on Thursday in Villa Baslini’s gardens.

The celebrations are scheduled to end on Saturday with a party at the Arsenale, a massive shipyard complex that dates back to the days of the city’s naval powerhouse.

According to Veneto’s regional president Luca Zaia, Bezos and Sanchez are donating three million euros ($3.5 million) to the city and employing eminently Venetian artisans.

Rosa Salva, Venice’s oldest pastry chef, will make 19th-century “fishermen’s biscuits” for party favors, which will also include something from Laguna B, a company known for its handcrafted Murano glass.

According to the owner, Trump and her family went to a glass-blowing workshop on Murano on Wednesday.

According to Massimiliano Schiavon, who added that the family had tried blowing their own, “They were amazed and enchanted by the magic of glass.”

Venice, the world’s oldest film festival, is famous for its VIPs who whizz around in speed boats during the star-studded nuptials of George Clooney in 2014.

Some residents claim that this wedding will generate good business, but critics claim that Bezos, one of the richest men in the world and the founder of a business that is regularly scrutinized for how its employees are treated, is different.

The mega yachts and dozens of private jets, at least 95, that bring the wealthy and famous to the canal city have also attracted the attention of environmental activists.

As part of a heat wave that has affected much of southern Europe, Italy’s health ministry has issued a red heat alert for Venice over the weekend.

Ozzy Osbourne has plans that go beyond the band’s final Black Sabbath performance, despite the fact that he announced he would be retiring after the band’s most recent performance.

Ozzy Osbourne has insisted his final live show next weekend won’t be the end of his career – and he is not the only band member struggling to be ready for the final Black Sabbath gig.

The singer, 76, revealed in a new interview he still has projects he hopes to complete despite his Parkinson’s disease. Ozzy told Metal Hammer magazine: “I am very blessed to say my goodbyes with the help of so many amazing musicians and friends. From the late 60s, we are probably one of the only bands where the original members are still alive and speaking with one another, as my wife says, it’s an invisible bond that can’t be broken.”

He continued, “I still enjoy doing my own work.” I also enjoy singing at other people’s music. I’ll continue to record if the projects appeal to me for the foreseeable future. It is very significant.

However, Ozzy is not the only Black Sabbath member who needs to focus on getting ready for their final performance at Villa Park, Back To The Beginning, on Saturday.

Drummer Bill Ward hasn’t played a stadium performance in a while. In his late 70s, he is preparing for what will be a physically demanding performance the following weekend.

He said: “I played for two hours yesterday, very loud. I’m doing sparring, boxing that keeps my upper body fit.”

When asked if he is returning to the band for another reason, he replies, “They’re still my brothers. They’ll always be my brothers. No matter how heated our disagreements are. I was a child of them. They are my favorites.

Bill continued, “Black Sabbath was the best thing that ever occurred to me.” If I had been a lost child in my teenage years, I would have had to identify with only drums and rock and roll.

He continued, “I knew we were good from the first time we played together; I believed we could do a lot of damage, change things, and take us to a new dimension,” adding from his Southern California home. And we succeeded.

Without Bill, bass player Geezer Butler said, “I wouldn’t have thought about it.” The original four of us playing together was the main goal of this last show’s conclusion.

Tony Iommi, a guitarist, said, “Sabath is over for me. This will be done, and that is it.

How do I want to be remembered? for the solutions we offered. for promoting the music and encouraging other bands to advance.

Ozzy and Black Sabbath will play their final performance at Villa Park in Birmingham on July 5th as part of a concert titled “Back To The Beginning.”

For the first time in 20 years, this show will bring together the original band members, including Bill Ward, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Tony Ward.

Without Ward on the drums, the band played its “last” gig in 2017 in Birmingham with Osborne, guitarist Iommi, and bassist Butler.

Ozzy, who has Parkinson’s disease, described last month how he has been receiving physical therapy and training in Los Angeles in an effort to get fit enough to perform on stage after battling a list of ailments.

Sharon, Ozzy’s wife, stated that he collaborates with his therapist daily. He’s actually doing really well. Because of his fans, Ozzy’s top priority in life is to be ready for them, making this show the ideal ending.

EXCLUSIVE: Ozzy Osbourne has plans that go beyond the final Black Sabbath gig – despite announcing that he will be retiring after the band’s last ever performance

Ozzy Osbourne has insisted his final live show next weekend won’t be the end of his career – and he is not the only band member struggling to be ready for the final Black Sabbath gig.

The singer, 76, revealed in a new interview he still has projects he hopes to complete despite his Parkinson’s disease. Ozzy told Metal Hammer magazine: “I am very blessed to say my goodbyes with the help of so many amazing musicians and friends. From the late 60s, we are probably one of the only bands where the original members are still alive and speaking with one another, as my wife says, it’s an invisible bond that can’t be broken.”

He added: “I still enjoy doing my own work. I also enjoy singing on other people’s work. For the foreseeable future, I will keep on recording if the projects interest me. It’s very important.”

But Ozzy is not the only Black Sabbath member needing to prepare hard for their final show next weekend at Villa Park, called Back To The Beginning.

Drummer Bill Ward hasn’t played a stadium gig for many years. He is building up to what will be a physically demanding performance next weekend, in his late 70s.

He said: “I played for two hours yesterday, very loud. I’m doing sparring, boxing that keeps my upper body fit.”

Asked for the other reason why he is returning to the band he says “They’re still my brothers. They’ll always be my brothers. It doesn’t matter how much we argue. I grew up with them. I love them.”

Bill added: “Black Sabbath was the best thing that ever happened to me. My life would have been terrible otherwise I was a lost kid in my teenage years, all I could identify with was drums and rock and roll.”

Speaking from his home in Southern California, he added: “I knew we were good from the first time we played with each other, I had this feeling inside that we could do something bold and strange and could do a lot of damage and change things and propel us into a different dimension. And we did.”

Bass player Geezer Butler told Metal Hammer magazine: “I wouldn’t have contemplated it without Bill. The whole point of this last show was to finish with the original four of us playing together.”

Guitarist Tony Iommi added: “For me, it’s all over with Sabbath. We’ll do this and then that’s it.

“How do I want to be remembered? For what we brought to the table. For bringing the music out and inspiring other bands to build on it.”

Ozzy and Black Sabbath will headline their final gig on July 5th at Villa Park in Birmingham, as part of an event titled “Back To The Beginning”.

This show will reunite the original band members – Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward – for the first time in 20 years.

The band played its “last” gig in 2017 in Birmingham with Osborne, guitarist Iommi and bassist Butler but without Ward on drums.

Ozzy, who is suffering from Parkinson’s disease, told last month how he has been having physical therapy and training with a trainer virtually living with him in Los Angeles in a bid to get him fit enough to perform on stage after a catalogue of illnesses.

Ozzy’s wife Sharon said: “Ozzy’s working with his therapist every single day. He’s doing really well, actually. Ozzy’s number one thing in life is his fans, so he’s working hard to be ready for them, to make this show the perfect way to end things.”

Rizzle Kicks opened The Other Stage at Glastonbury 2019 with a huge, hit-filled set – and frontman Jordan Stephens’ mum made a surprise appearance

A surprise guest stole the show at Rizzle Kicks’ performance on The Other Stage. As the musicians took to the stage at Glastonbury fans went wild as Jordan Stephens made a special announcement.

He introduced his mum mid-way through the set and she made a memorable appearance on stage. She donned a green wig during their hit ‘Mama Do the Hump’, prompting Stephens to exclaim, “Give it up for my mum!” The ecstatic crowd went wild with cheers.

Even the renowned DJ Fatboy Slim, who joined the duo on stage, couldn’t match the enthusiasm sparked by Stephens’ mum. Despite the chaos, with thousands of fans packed in and jostling to get closer to the stage, the set list was full to bursting.

Among those played were fan favourites like ‘Lost Generation’, ‘When I Was a Youngster’, along with some of their latest tracks.

In a tongue-in-cheek moment, Stephens stood on a podium labelled “LOSER” during the song ‘When I was a Youngster’. However, judging by the crowd’s adoration, Rizzle Kicks are definitely winners in their eyes, reports Somerset Live.

Elsewhere on Friday, Lewis Capaldi made a surprise comeback. The Scottish singer returned to the stage after a two-year hiatus.

Earlier today, Lewis released a new song called Survive. Alongside his announcement post, Lewis shared a video and captioned it: “It’s been a while.”

The new song is full of emotion with lyrics including “I swear to God I’ll survive” and “I’m going to get up and live until the day that I die,” his first new release since stepping out of the spotlight because of his mental health.

Lewis has been open about his mental health and hypochondria in recent years. .In 2022, he said: “If I’m having a panic attack there’s nobody else that can help me out of it except my mum, for sure.

“My mum has had to sleep in my bed as recently as a month ago because of how bad my anxiety got at one point. But I think that was alcohol related to be honest, I had been on a bit of a bender.”

He went on: “It never really reached a tipping point until after getting famous, I never had a panic attack until after I was famous, or after I was a musician or after I got to a height.

“The hypochondria – I guess looking back, I was such an anxious kid, but now because I understand it a lot more with therapy and I speak about it a lot more with people and try to learn more about it, I look back at it and think the behaviour was a result of anxiety.”
