Will P. Diddy ever be stopped? Sean Combs, who is also known as Puff Daddy and P.Diddy, is a singer and record producer who was arrested Monday, September 16th, 2024 and is currently incarcerated. Diddy, 54, is accused of sexually assaulting and harassing many women and men. Diddy allegedly abused and coerced participants into sexual acts which, he would film and later use as black mail. Diddy has multiple drug offenses and accusations of arson, kidnapping, and bribery and obstruction. He’s also been accused of striking, punching, and even going as far as dragging women and kicking them.

During a search in Diddy’s homes in both Los Angeles, California and Miami, Florida, the FBI found 1,000 bottles of baby oil laced with Gamma Hydroxybutyrate (GHB), a drug that slows down the messages traveling between the brain and the body. This would stop potential victims from being able to defend themselves from the alleged acts being forced upon them. Diddy was arrested shortly after in New York City. According to the BBC, “Mr.Combs was accused of sexual assault dating back to 1991 by multiple women.” This shows Diddy has been possibly committing these disturbing acts on women and men for almost 33 years.

On his behalf, his lawyers offered the courts over 45 million dollars to release him from jail, which the courts declined. Combs will be allowed a minimum of one hour per day in the recreation area in addition to time spent outside his cell; a tremendous difference from the lavish lifestyle he is accustomed to. It looks like he will remain in custody until his trial. 

Hopefully Diddy will be stopped and brought to justice, because his actions are harming people mentally, physically, and emotionally.
