That one person can abuse hundreds of people and get away with it for decades speaks volumes of his circle and the entertainment industry. I hope every person who covered up these victimizations and/or remained silent gets exposed and charged. May each and every survivor find peace and strength to speak out. 🙏
Can you even imagine the std’s that must have been rampant as well. The poor people who had no idea what was happening to them as they were unconscious 😳
Give a tip of the hat to those two judges who refused bail to Combs. Having him incarcerated, out of communication with his gang, allows these victims to feel safe enough to come out and get the help they need and go public.
This show was sensational! I pray for all survivors of SA. As one myself, the attention you are giving this is, on its own, healing. For years so many try to pretend it didn’t happen and live with it not knowing the damage it has done. I am 75 and just realized 8 years ago how it contributed to my my problems of coping with life. The validation is a God Send.
Melba is FABULOUS!!! More of her, please!! I just love Tommy and really appreciate his feedback and perspective. Thank you for continuing to have him on. The doctor is seems really brilliant and his insight was VERY interesting. Really great panel, thank you very much!
I’m amazed that someone commented on the live that those who were harmed like this weren’t victims because “they chose to be there”. Really? This is still a mindset in 2024? Talk about being small and ignorant. I hope every person who has suffered in this situation gets some relief finally. We believe you. We stand with you.
You would think after R Kelly that people would at least an open mind. Seems to me that these rich men think they can do whatever and pay their victims or threaten them to be quiet.
I’ve seen a photo taken with Diddy a couple others and a Man who was completely unconscious.. he had his face into the couch and clearly unaware of anything around him. It was the perfect example of a normal strait laced looking guy who was drugged and DID NOT sign up for what happened to him after the photo was taken… nobody went to a party assuming they’d be rendered unconscious and violated!!
I am a survivor. I was a child when the first attack happened. It was nearly 3 decades before I could speak about what happened to me w females only. To this day, I see female Drs only. I live with pain & anxiety. Ive recently learned how this trauma has created physical health problems and according to science, it is genetically passed down. The consequences of SA /R are very far reaching! Our society, that of the world, has a long way to go. We've got to start listening to and believing survivors! Thank you for bringing attention to this and for your guests input! 💕
I really enjoyed listening to your varied panel of experts here. A qualified psychologist, an ex-con, and a female attorney. That's what made this podcast so interesting. I particularly enjoyed the psychological commentary by Delatorre, which I thought were spot-on. But what was so mind blowing is the sheer number of Did's victims, proving him to be a true Equal Opportunity abuser.
absolutely incredible episode. great panel. please bring everyone back again soon. I loved Dr. Delatorre's response to that horrible comment Joel called out, he is absolutely right and I wish more people like him said these things out loud, to the media, and to the public. Melba is amazing, extensive mount of experience and credibility. She should be asked to comment on this case by hoards of media networks, we need this kind of commentary.
I praise the conversation here of getting the horrible reality of what diddy and associates did for decades fully exposed. Once they have been stopped, future victims will be no longer. Diddy and associates have caused endless human misery and for what? For their sick, perverted human extravagances.
20 years ago, I wrote a Thesis on the subject of 'Currency'...in all it's forms. There are many many forms of currency within our human social construct...and I fear that Sean Combs believed he was entitled to exploit them all.
Really hearing this press conference today it’s really clear. You go to his party as just a female or male and not a celebrity; they had you marked as SA victim, this could happened to anyone. It was a carefully organized machine, that was bigger than what one individual could fight.
I get so sick of hearing about Paedophiles and treatments! There is no effective treatment beyond drugs. Treatment really means spending money to keep 24/7 track of these monsters. In my mind it is not a DEVIANCE because every single child is a victim. There is no consent possible.
As vile as these allegations are, I bet we’ll still see an even grosser level of depravity before this is over. The man is a psychopath and must never be set free.
Celine Dion started at 13 yo and her mom was with her all the time, never by herself: mom was wise! Even when she was an adult, she always had a sister (amongst the 14 siblings)to accompany and assist her. Her husband and manager René Angelil kept her out of the parties.
Great discussion. The huge learning is just how sad all of this is, but I value the idea that the wicked many who contributed to the evil are sweating big time in anticipation of exposure and punishment. Justice may be long in coming, but it's going to be devastating.
Donna Adelson unalived her son-in-law to have access to her grandkids but was gonna dump them to travel to Vietnam when the going got tough - Diddy will do the same thing. He values himself over all else
Now would be the time for all the “celebrities “ to call the FBI and start making deals before they end up in jail with Diddy. Then their careers need to disappear and they all need to be ex-celebrities!!!
I can’t imagine that anyone involved with this is sitting around in the US waiting to be served. At this point, any wealthy celeb/individual with half a brain who’s involved with this has left the US or is in the process of leaving for a country with no extradition. Maybe they will all go to the same place and continue their freaky parties where their money will keep them safe from prosecution. The question is could people like this, with such large egos, accustomed to be adored, red carpets, etc., handle no longer being “stars.”
Great show! Each guest brought a unique perspective to the table. Melba is a rock star! Dr Delatorre - love that we are accountable for our behavior. And Tommy - appreciate your perspective and your work.
It would be wise for Diddy to come forward with the names of accomplices so they can share the financial burden of compensating these hurting victims. The victims are so courageous in coming forward. Praying for complete healing for all of them. There's no way there aren't some people who suffered physical harm or worse. Horse tranq is a different kind level of evil. Which vet provided that? Whoever spiked the drinks should be behind bars already.
Sorry, but no amount of money or persuasion or both would ever make me hand over my child. It wouldn't matter how famous they were. It wouldn't happen, end of.
This comment really helped me understand: He gets off on putting a scarlet letter on other people. He gets you to do something you're now ashamed of. Sick and sad.
Regarding his crimes, he’d do something terrible but people kept hanging with him & the law never showed up, so he’d ratchet it up. People would still hang with him & still no cops. He eventually believed he could do whatever he wanted, which was correct until the Cassie video. How much worse can we get as a society?
He likes to claim that he went to therapy and rehab because he’s selling himself for the bad things that he was caught doing on film. He wants to appear to be a new person. I doubt he did any of that if he did, he certainly didn’t grow from it so I’m doubtful. 54:14
@ lisasteger4048 publicity is not a reason to not seat a jury. They only need 12 jurors who are believable when they state despite hearing about the alleged crimes they can & will remain impartial & render a verdict based on the evidence admitted at trial and not what they nay have heard previously.
Victims are often discouraged by others. They know that problems may follow if you speak up, and the perpetrator finds out, especially there is a lot of fear, shame and depression. 24:37
He’s a grown man. Absolutely. Many many who are abused do not offend. Many get help. He has children! Was he thinking about his own daughters? His son.
Any female lawyer who signs on to defend Diddy is a traitor to victims. I have Defense lawyers in my family, but when it comes to SA/Rap, a female lawyer in this case just adds another layer of outrage. The cross is always brutal - women KNOW how abuse works, how memory works, how it feels to be targeted. We know! Regardless of a defense strategy, using a female lawyer to question victims always feels like a further betrayal. We blame the victim regardless of the age, including children. There is no such thing as “underage” - it’s called child. And if you’re drugged, you have no opportunity to say no.
@ amberhastings5612 you’re wrong. Any atty who defends Diddy is not a traitor. Wo defense attys, even with the most horrific crimes, is required in order for our country to have a viable criminal & civil legal system. Otherwise we are Iran or Russia.
59:00 I love Dr. Delarorre's answer, but to clarify, regular sex is not about power, but is about intimacy. We need to talk more about existing power paradigms in sexual behavior and how that power dynamic is shifting as we define it and change it.
You know, as sick and very serious as this all is, just on a surface level- well not surface to me because music is very very important to me- I’m sick and damn tired of deleting songs off my “old school” playlist because of these monsters. First it was R Kelly, now one of my most favorite songs as a kid with Diddy. Especially the one he had to pay Sting royalties for. I looked up to these people. I cannot separate the art from the artist when it’s this grievous.
I’m not sure if you ever heard of or had Dr Berry on the show but she reacts to all the popular true crime cases we all follow from the psychologists perspective. 😊 Would be great to see her in the mix of guests sometime❤
Parents also need to see who your child’s friends their spending time with .. ppl need to walk up to ppls houses instead of calling the child out , meet the parents please.
40 years later I still shove it in a far spot in my brain so I don't remember. Whomever that person said there aren't victims does she or he think I'm not a victim because the man came into my home and overpowered me?
You know there’s a lot of really great people out there who are hackers using their skills for good. One guy in particular looks for child trafficking victims in the dark web. If these tapes are floating around, we need someone like him going in the dark web and getting these tapes and the addresses they’re linked to, so we can get the tapes to these victims and off the web
debivanmarter Joel or his guests have mentioned there are more minor victims than just the 1 referenced 9 yr old. Joel doesn’t speculate & has no inside info. It’s a show reporting the news with relevant guests.
Good let him heel great stress and anxiety for the disgusting crimes he allegedly committed. We don't care about him. Lets cars and focus on the victims
WELL,HE LOVE BEIN ON CAMERA, 📸🤳🤳🤳🤳 THE WORST WISH EVER. IF U DON'T HAVE DISCIPLINE IN UR LIFE,IT WILL TAKE UR FREEDOM RIGHT FR UNDER U,🤦🫵🫵🫵🫵 🗣️THERE'S NO BOUNDARIES HE WON'T CROSS.😮 😈..🤦🤦🤦
That one person can abuse hundreds of people and get away with it for decades speaks volumes of his circle and the entertainment industry. I hope every person who covered up these victimizations and/or remained silent gets exposed and charged. May each and every survivor find peace and strength to speak out. 🙏
The list of people who got paid off is gonna be a hefty one.
Jeffrey Epstein wasn't in the entertainment business, his first trial in Florida he got 13 months with work release.
Can you even imagine the std’s that must have been rampant as well. The poor people who had no idea what was happening to them as they were unconscious 😳
What gets me is these victims have been trying speak out for a long time and were called crazy conspiracy theorists!
Very well said!
Give a tip of the hat to those two judges who refused bail to Combs. Having him incarcerated, out of communication with his gang, allows these victims to feel safe enough to come out and get the help they need and go public.

You are so right Melba is a keeper. She certainly enlightened me about the variety of reasons why victims wouldn't coming forward.
Melba is FABULOUS!!! More of her, please!! I just love Tommy and really appreciate his feedback and perspective. Thank you for continuing to have him on. The doctor is seems really brilliant and his insight was VERY interesting. Really great panel, thank you very much!

It is pervasive. The public needs to be educated! This needs to end in something good.
I fear that there will always be those folks who will blame the victim. I was silent for 25 years knowing I wouldn’t be believed by many.
You would think after R Kelly that people would at least an open mind. Seems to me that these rich men think they can do whatever and pay their victims or threaten them to be quiet.
Exactly! We stand with you. Hollywood is disgraceful. How anyone looks up to those self-serving animals is beyond me.
I’ve seen a photo taken with Diddy a couple others and a Man who was completely unconscious.. he had his face into the couch and clearly unaware of anything around him. It was the perfect example of a normal strait laced looking guy who was drugged and DID NOT sign up for what happened to him after the photo was taken… nobody went to a party assuming they’d be rendered unconscious and violated!!
Sending love to Melba!! NY native here! And my Momma got her B.A. from Hofstra U. In 1967 and I was there!!❤❤
A warm welcome to Melba.
This attorney is excellent!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What a GREAT panel! Seriously. All three guests are knowledgeable and engaging. Would love to see this combination again.
Yup 😊
Yup 😊
Shame on thousands of people who covered up these atrocities for so many years, & shame on the justice system. This could have stopped years ago.
That many people went to the police to make reports with hospital records to back their claims and the police never followed through 🤯
It’s absolutely disgusting. Those police departments need to be held accountable too, IMO.
What fantastic guests tonight! Hope to see them all again.
I am a survivor. I was a child when the first attack happened. It was nearly 3 decades before I could speak about what happened to me w females only. To this day, I see female Drs only.

Thank you for bringing attention to this and for your guests input! 💕
😊thx for sharing ur story. Life isn’t fair, for sure, but ur experience is HORRIBLE. Thank you for being strong enough to share it with us
🙏🙏🙏 I identify completely with your story. Thank you for the validation.
You have the best guests. Love Melba, John and Tommy

Agree! Everything Dr. D said was spot on! Please have him on more!!
Most parents would NOT give their kids over to strangers for the mighty dollar
You’d have to be mentally ill to do that
Thank you for reporting on these horrific crimes. I'm a surviver. All the best from the UK
Best of luck going forward from Mark, England

Great show! Your panel tonight is my all time favorite!
As vile as these allegations are, I bet we’ll still see an even grosser level of depravity before this is over. The man is a psychopath and must never be set free.
We like Melba, great to hear genuine passion she is know people pleaser and speaks the truth. Thank you Melba for being on the show. 29:30
His crimes say he’s angry.
what a fantastic show ! LOVE these guests!
Great show. Loved this great panel. They were both great. Tommy is always great.
Outstanding panel. Great information.
Great panel, great show. Much respect @STS from Michigan. SC is done. I can only imagine what the others are feeling. Justice for ALL the victims..
28:53 Melba always bringing truth!
Distractions…. The clients/customers/friends doing the SA’s are the ones who need to be prosecuted!
I feel we love celebrities because we fall in love with the characters they play.
Celine Dion started at 13 yo and her mom was with her all the time, never by herself: mom was wise! Even when she was an adult, she always had a sister (amongst the 14 siblings)to accompany and assist her. Her husband and manager René Angelil kept her out of the parties.
1:38:41 Again, Melba looking out for victims and their well being! 💯
Dr.Delatorre at 53mins…PREACH’ I hope this message continues to be spread! ❤ thank you for saying this ❤️
12:20 Tragically on point... this is so bad... seldom am I left speechless!
Great discussion. The huge learning is just how sad all of this is, but I value the idea that the wicked many who contributed to the evil are sweating big time in anticipation of exposure and punishment. Justice may be long in coming, but it's going to be devastating.
Donna Adelson unalived her son-in-law to have access to her grandkids but was gonna dump them to travel to Vietnam when the going got tough - Diddy will do the same thing. He values himself over all else

Great episode and guests. Please bring them back and the phycologist is so smart!!
Love Tommy!
Melba you rock!
I can’t imagine that anyone involved with this is sitting around in the US waiting to be served.

Great show! Each guest brought a unique perspective to the table. Melba is a rock star! Dr Delatorre - love that we are accountable for our behavior. And Tommy - appreciate your perspective and your work.
Even more heinous that the massage oil was also drugged. The issue of accepting or refusing a drink goes away. Predator, period.
There would be no amount of money or big promises that Diddy could have made for me to offer up my child. Never, totally impossible.
Substantially bigger could be JZ
It would be wise for Diddy to come forward with the names of accomplices so they can share the financial burden of compensating these hurting victims. The victims are so courageous in coming forward. Praying for complete healing for all of them. There's no way there aren't some people who suffered physical harm or worse. Horse tranq is a different kind level of evil. Which vet provided that? Whoever spiked the drinks should be behind bars already.
Dr. Delatorre is very intelligent and insightful. Agreed with every word.
its about power she said in the comment? no way, im shocked
Sorry, but no amount of money or persuasion or both would ever make me hand over my child. It wouldn't matter how famous they were. It wouldn't happen, end of.
This comment really helped me understand: He gets off on putting a scarlet letter on other people. He gets you to do something you're now ashamed of. Sick and sad.
Will the exposed complicit enablers be held accountable, if traced to LE, etc?
What a fantastic show. Tommy is amazing. Major respect for him‼️ Please bring Melba and John back as well‼️💕❤️🇺🇸🇨🇦
Regarding his crimes, he’d do something terrible but people kept hanging with him & the law never showed up, so he’d ratchet it up. People would still hang with him & still no cops.

Great job guys love the podcast 😊
He likes to claim that he went to therapy and rehab because he’s selling himself for the bad things that he was caught doing on film. He wants to appear to be a new person. I doubt he did any of that if he did, he certainly didn’t grow from it so I’m doubtful. 54:14
What if PDiddy and his lawyers start crying he isn't going to get a fair trial due to how much publicity this case received?
@ lisasteger4048 publicity is not a reason to not seat a jury. They only need 12 jurors who are believable when they state despite hearing about the alleged crimes they can & will remain impartial & render a verdict based on the evidence admitted at trial and not what they nay have heard previously.
Excellent episode🎉
Diddy was addicted to ‘MORE’
Victims are often discouraged by others. They know that problems may follow if you speak up, and the perpetrator finds out, especially there is a lot of fear, shame and depression. 24:37
He’s a grown man. Absolutely. Many many who are abused do not offend. Many get help. He has children! Was he thinking about his own daughters? His son.
Melba is fantastic.
Yeah I really like her ❤

Where’s Tommy’s cat?
Noise somewhere…
You know, as sick and very serious as this all is, just on a surface level- well not surface to me because music is very very important to me- I’m sick and damn tired of deleting songs off my “old school” playlist because of these monsters. First it was R Kelly, now one of my most favorite songs as a kid with Diddy. Especially the one he had to pay Sting royalties for. I looked up to these people. I cannot separate the art from the artist when it’s this grievous.
All these people had to do is be semi normal, is it really that hard for some??
Love your name Melba 💟
I’m not sure if you ever heard of or had Dr Berry on the show but she reacts to all the popular true crime cases we all follow from the psychologists perspective. 😊 Would be great to see her in the mix of guests sometime❤
Parents also need to see who your child’s friends their spending time with .. ppl need to walk up to ppls houses instead of calling the child out , meet the parents please.
I always knew P Demonic was messed up....
even back in the Making The Band days, but NOT this messed up!!!!
Life is like a roll of toilet paper; the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes…
I wanted to put a half track in my front yard. But I don't have half track money yet 😊
40 years later I still shove it in a far spot in my brain so I don't remember. Whomever that person said there aren't victims does she or he think I'm not a victim because the man came into my home and overpowered me?
Fab show ❤
Money and hopefully getting some where. They are a ledge victim.
You know there’s a lot of really great people out there who are hackers using their skills for good. One guy in particular looks for child trafficking victims in the dark web. If these tapes are floating around, we need someone like him going in the dark web and getting these tapes and the addresses they’re linked to, so we can get the tapes to these victims and off the web
Please make the volume louder if you can.
120 out of 3085. I hope to see all these cases heard.
ALL SPECULATION. Sean is in jail. So quit 'til you really know something.
It’s so hard to concentrate with all the background noise. 😣
I would love one of the free memberships please.
I am 60 and underemployed. How do I qualify for a free membership?
WTH would RK(dad) and (husband)think of Kris !
Brittany Spears is allegedly the other famous person on the tape with Diddy.
I'm curious as to why Joel didn't tell the Dr there are more minors instead of just a 9 year old.
debivanmarter Joel or his guests have mentioned there are more minor victims than just the 1 referenced 9 yr old. Joel doesn’t speculate & has no inside info. It’s a show reporting the news with relevant guests.
Never occurred to me, when s. violated when drugged, in the 80’s it was illegal.
I DON'T BELIEVE ALL THIS STUFF. ALL WE KNOW IS SEAN IS IN JAIL!!!!!
Good let him heel great stress and anxiety for the disgusting crimes he allegedly committed. We don't care about him. Lets cars and focus on the victims
Diddy “If I had to go through being f$&c?d to have all I have there is NO WAY YOU GET EXPERIENCE THIS GOOD LIFE FOR FREE”.
WELL,HE LOVE BEIN ON CAMERA, 📸🤳🤳🤳🤳 THE WORST WISH EVER. IF U DON'T HAVE DISCIPLINE IN UR LIFE,IT WILL TAKE UR FREEDOM RIGHT FR UNDER U,🤦🫵🫵🫵🫵 🗣️THERE'S NO BOUNDARIES HE WON'T CROSS.😮 😈..🤦🤦🤦
