The Public's Response to Diddy's Sexual Assault Lawsuits Is Concerning
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Over the last couple of weeks, a number of civil lawsuits have been filed against some very high-profile people in entertainment alleging they committed sexual assault, abuse, and harassment, starting with 54-year-old Sean Puff Daddy Combs.
Now Diddy settled his lawsuit with Cassie with the quickness, and by the quickness, I mean he settled the lawsuit the next day now I don’t know what Diddy did or what he didn’t do, but I do know the conversation around his case and others that have come to light since, has me f*cking bothered.

Survivor here...I was a Child...and my Mother did Not believe me... so when it happened Again as a young adult I said Nothing out of fear to Not be believed again... when Your own mother doesn't believe you... Who are You gonna trust to Have You?!? With our Broken justice system....Cassie and All the survivors are deserving of Anything they can Get. Period.
❤
God bless you for being strong Keep your prayers up cause you are beautiful magnificent angel that you are Know that nobody gets away with anything you will get your glory as time goes on To know that he is watching over you I feel it I know it amen
❤❤❤
Thank you for educating me. Hearing a woman’s perspective along with stats should give a mature man perspective. As a girl dad, I would be angered and appalled if my wife and/or daughter were victims of sexual assault or abuse and especially if nothing was done about it. It’s troubling as a whole but especially in the black community. I needed to hear this and be educated on this topic. I’ll make sure to do my own homework so I can be more informed and be a support system and not in the way of progress. 🙏🏾
I'm a survivor as well. I confided in someone and was told I shouldn't report it and ruin another black mans’ life. What about the fact that victims/survivors have to live with this trauma every day of their lives.
You see why women don't come forward! We get blamed/condemned. Why would women want to relive that trauma over and over again? Especially when we are taken serious, believed or supported.
Hope you reported it 😢 sad how tht so called friend didn't want to look out for you. 🙏 u get some healing ❤❤❤❤ dang ruin his life what about you and your life hope your surviving
Whether you reported this crime or not. I am sorry this happened to you sis. Stay away from bm. Abuse is all they have to offer
I’m so sorry you were told that😢
Your story will help and give strength to the next woman
My deepest condolences to you for the horrific abuse you received.
And I hope the raggedy women that wanted you to protect your Attacker is no longer in your life
Folks think they're getting away with this nonsense, God knows all.
As a survivor I still believe proof is required because i don’t want anyone using my pain to destroy an innocent persons life.
I once heard a male tv host say, i dont smack my daughter as i dont want her to associate love with any form of physical violence, unfortunately im a statistic also, and it infuriates me at people women included saying why did she wait so long, or these other ladies from 90s, it can take years to heal and the emotional scars never do. Maybe seeing cassies case on tv or press triggered them, its not always about money but capability, love your podcast, watching from 🏴 Scotland UK ❤
Mad respect for your bravery in sharing your story. Met you at the beginning of your career in Orlando. Congratulations on your success and using your platform for good. Thank you.
That is awful. Women should not have to any time limit om reporting this and police that do nothing to help should be fired
Diddy didn’t settle the lawsuit it was the insurance companies that settled. Cassie outsmarted him and sued his companies which triggered commercial liability and corporate office lawsuits insurance.
Regardless of wuat Symone 😊 said, I don't care what you say, settling in 24 hours is because Diddy or whomever knew what was coming if they didn't. Can't be upset that Cassie's team know the NY law well enough to know the benefit of linking the organization that gave them their victory. Not all of these ppl are lying! We've been hearing the gay rumors about Diddy for decades! It's just sick and very disgusting!
@@JM-qg9bo I agree
So Gunz doesn't know why they get quite. Has he been out of the circle so long that he is unaware NDA's are always a part of public figures court judgements and settlements.
But that's his point right or wrong... would you be willing to forgive or allow the discretion to receive a pass from someone you accused of assaulting you for a sum of money or what would you consider justice or would you be seeking justice? Those are the questions he is asking.
@romefromthed which if you listen to this whole thing, you hear the reasoning for. Be victimized in a world that doesn't believe you, doesn't give a damn about you and asks questions like THIS, and then maybe you'll understand.
They weren't assaulted by someone but something. The system has ignored and belittled them, and then Gunz and like minded individuals want to question the only public acknowledgment of their trauma left available to them. Media interests dies out once the celebrity is gone, maybe they donate portions of their pay out to assault help groups or abuse shelters. Without experiencing the same type of assault how can anyone question their recovery process?
The NDA's don't just allow celebrities to keep their brand intact. They also protect law enforcement and the courts by hiding the lack of interest and investigation into these types of incidents.
@@karenl7786 IDK what you thought you typed, but all we read was the Charlie Brown teacher talking
Speak on it! no one wants to help while the predators are out and about. The one I endured walked away free and the other when I was younger started a relationship with a relative.
Diddy brought the Whole industry down in a week 😮😅😂 dang
Jemele thank you so much for sharing your story and this truly powerful work. As a spiritual counselor and coach who helps trauma victors to heal, I discovered that the narrative to blame the victim or stay silent is rooted in generational curses via the route of chattel slavery and many forms of oppression taking place different ethnic groups across the globe.. The programming and conditioning of many people's psyche is so damaging that their initial reaction is to do what they learned and operate with dissonance to the pain. They havent understood how to access their healing and have empathy in healthy ways that would break those generational curses.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 well said. Thx u!
Thank you for placing your content on UA-cam- MUCH NEEDED VOICE 🙏🏽
It’s just a matter of time that all the abuse comes out.. It’s gonna get BADDDDDDDD!!!!!! “Follow the MONEY.” Entertainment, Sports, Government officials etc… Just a matter of TIME!!!!
Excellent Jemele!
Very well done! Thank you.
I feel you and Stephen A. know how to crack open the window in our community.
Thank you for your care and attention to what is rape!
Point blank and the period
We appreciate you J!
Nothing but 💯 Thanks for your story and your perspective.
It amazes me how some people have so much depth and knowledge about a topic that they haven't experienced. Saying it was probably about the money is insanity. I'm glad you shared your personal experience but people will ask stupid questions like what were you doing alone with someone? Everyone is not a liar. Sexual assault is never warranted.
Cassie apparently sued his companies and him personally separately. His company needed to pay up quickly due to the fact it would affect their company. That's why he has been removed to keep this from entangling them in filth. Boss move.
This is an amazing perspective! Thank you for adding so many statistics because it makes so much more sense why she decided to go to civil route.
Perfectly said 👏
Jemele Hill for President. Amen.🙌🏽
Jemele is THE TRUTH
What happened to innocent until proven guilty? Why do we always go straight to guilty when someone makes a claim with salacious allegations?
Teach… my sista! Thank you, for being a prominent voice in our community. #kindredsouls
Why would they agree to lift the statue. It must be heavy since it’s made of stone.
Ms. Jemele COULD YOU GET MARCUS LAMONT HILL ON YOUR SHOW??😮 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I love your content and I wish you were in my feed more.
I remember being SA'ed by my older cousin, she was so pretty, i was so excited and felt so wanted, I begged her to do it again over and over again, she kept touching me and asking me to touch her, I loved it, but I never forced myself on anyone because I know what was great experience for me, wasn't embraced the same by some women... I thank God for all the women who've shown me love, i pray for all the women who were abused
Thank you for your video. I agree with you 100%
New subscriber. Thk you for sharing this information
I'm really glad for your show I appreciate your show I try to watch it every time I can find it unfortunately I'm not computer savvy or UA-cam savvy or whatever but thank you
SAD DAY . PRAYED. AND BEGGED FOR.
HOPE IN FAITH FOR PEACE ❤
My condolences to the trauma you display from your experiences. The problem with your personal assessment of many people's response that question the accusers is it declares the police, district attorneys, and others will or should look at the accused in the same light you look at the accused in your personal experience. People are killing people for less than two dollars. Onlyfans is not struggling to get people to sign up. Public figures men and women have spoken publicly of different forms of scamming and scheming to get over financially on the opposite sex from strippers and escorts setting up to the etcetera. Do we not remember how Tawana Brawley had the whole black community looking or what about the female Carlee Russell, who just lied and said she was kidnapped on the side of the highway.
This is not a personal attack to those who have actually been abused, but without an unbiased investigation into every case you CANNOT just take people word. In the climate of people publicly shaming, including slut shaming females in school, on the internet, and even on jobs there are some who will and have acted in regret too. On a case by case bases there has to be an unbiased investigation..
This was a good critique.
Well done.
It's time for him to go to prison! A monster!!!
Thank you for this.
It’s both, Peter Gunz. Money talks loud enough to make us discuss Diddy for the next few decades.
Justice 4 Kim Porter 💜💜💜
Peter Gunz is right (there's a sentence I thought I'd never say). Ya'll are quick to denigrate the offer of a settlement but ignore how fast the offer was accepted. Jemele is wrong for comparing this case to other cases that FIRST went through criminal court before being settled in civil court.
Everyone deserves their day in court. Im all for racial justice in the court system … that said, I’ve also been falsely accused of assault and it was proven she was trying to get away with incompetently doing her job by using that as a distraction. NO you do mit just run around believing something because someone said it. Whether it’s a brother, sister, friend, or enemy we have all experienced being falsely accused of something. People deserve to be listened to … and evidence deserves to be presented and proceeded appropriately…but people DO lie and 8% is a lot when you’re one of the 8%!!
Damn!
All allegations. No one knows these stories are true at all.
I have a lot of friends that are survivors and I pray for their healing. I also know men who have had their lives and reputations destroyed by false allegations. We need to support those who have been victimized but we also need to have a standard of proof. Without some evidence it is too easy to destroy someone with allegations. Both things can be true at once.
I am not worried about the celebs so much as the other 2400 people who have had cases opened, some decades after the alleged conduct. Even if one is a false allegation that's one too many. None of us would want our relative or friend to be destroyed because someone who is malicious wrongfully accused them of something 30 years ago.
If Diddy was doing anything to Cassie think about this timeline Kim Porter was pregnant with his twins in 2006 so they wasn’t even dating in 2005 so that’s one lie after him and Kim separated I think he reconnected with Sarah Chapman which produced a child so all this he was messing with her since 05 is false they probably didn’t start dating till 2010 she’s a failed singer meaning she’s just pretty and can’t sing then also if Diddy so violent why he ain’t go after her husband and wasn’t he the one slandering him last year then Cassie realize he’s broke so now I’m get that money from Puff so stop it.!
I always tell people to show me the receipts based on facts not your opinion
"They have you labeled a rapist before you get to tongue kissing ." 2Pac #HollaAtMe!💯🏳️🆘
It’s so unfortunate that sexual harassment/assaults are baked into the entertainment, business, and big money industries.
You meant to say all aspects of society.
Hmmm, you omitted Jamie Foxx in that list…🧐🤔
He's probably a personal friend of hers. Which goes to the point that is really easy to just level allegations at someone and destroy their reputation. There has got to be a way to support victims and also prevent false allegations.
Look every woman has a right to justice. I wished however more survivors would go not agree to be silent after whatever agreement they come to. But that's my opinion.
Cassie did both she got tha bag plus exposed puffy giving others the courage to come forward plus sex abuser should pay for their crime wit money n court
U get the money they lose the power to do this sa
Try to give those that claim sexual abuse a polygraph test as well as the accussed. In regards to Cassie I don't know her and have a thought that she and puffy as well the other two females popping up should take a polygraph test to see if they were compliant or not. I met puffy at a party and speaking with him did not show me a homosexual attitude nor an aggressor person and he was a little tipsy then yet respectful. Now I've seen my share of females in the industry do things for money just to get to a big boy. So I believe we need the polygraph test and if it shows who was compliant and not then ( book him dano)
It Was A Money Grab.Women Need To Be Held Accountable!!!!!
Consider black culture
.. Cosby, R Kelly, Will Smith, Diddy.. and it'll keep going until ur entire culture is erased..
Jemele stay on topic. We are talking about sexual assault not gun violence.
The response was based on the fact that she settled instead of pursuing charges.
I hate make up but Jemelle Hill desperately needs to wear makeup yikes.
It's embarrassing as a black man to see black people simp and cake for celebs. I have asked over 50 women in my 20's did you ever feel like you were sexually assaulted or raped. I think all but two felt that way. I think two might have pressed charges but never went to trial.
Not surprised
Aint no feel like, either they did or didn’t. Just because they now regret it doesn’t make it rape.
What?
God never intended sex to be entertainment for man or woman the sex industry in the music film entertainment industry has always been a blur it's always been there children that have been done to Nickelodeon all that stuff was coming out Doing the dark will always come out in the light if it's evil This is so sad all the little people that were child stars Nickelodeon all that's coming out now they're telling you we have sexual predators in our world but but be assured they're not getting away with anything at the end of the day God has the last word man always wanted to be God and thank God he cannot thank God for that
People don't understand being assaulted.....it's hard to speak up. I use to have a cousin that would touch on me as a little girl and would make me touch him. It didn't go further but it could have. I'm in my 30s and just now felt comfortable talking about it and even finally told my family. It took therapy to realize it wasn't fault. People don't understand unless it happens to you.
I applaud you for being vulnerable enough to share your family’s experiences. You are a trailblazer. You are not alone. Again, thank you for using your important platform to bring this subject to life.
As a SA survivor, I thank you for speaking the truth
For all the sxual abuse of teen boys, for all the murders, for all the blackmail, torture, forced abortions, rape, severe beatings of his partners, he needs to be prosecuted!!
The response from the public is expected, tbh. Looking at historical, social, cultural, & religious context, this is right on par. 🤷🏽♀️
Yes, unfortunately it's to be expected.
@Oshun_KC - Sad but true! 😭
I hope all the people listening to this really actually hear what is being sad. It saddens me in particular that our black men perfectly understand their own victimization and persecution and then literally turn their enemies' talking points against their own women.
Woooooo!!! Couldn’t have said this better 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Girl I rock with you, don’t know how I didn't find your channel sooner. You're much better on your own.
I agree💯she is great!
She Said What She Said 🗣️ Thank you Jemele🫶🏽
We should teach our young men that the word No means Stop no matter the circumstances. Anything else is unacceptable. It’s that simple.
Consent is more than no means no . A person can’t consent if they’re drunk or high. Coercion is not consent. Consent has to be given in every part of the process And can be revoked at any time
And we should teach our your women that there is no free money in the world. Most of these victims wouldn't have been in the situation if they didn't willingly walk into it. Look at Bill cosby for example. So guy invites you to his hotel at 3am in the morning, c'mon people. We have to learn to keep ourselves safe because guaranteed this won't be the first and last time it happens.... stay smart and stay safe.....
But then again suing for millions is being smart 😂
Diddy should be in jail just like Cosby and Weinstein. Theirs were older than Diddy’s bad, disgusting behavior to Cassie. So glad she spoke up.
Good segment, Jemele.
Diddy has plenty of time and plenty of witnesses against him. Jail ain't going nowhere - it will be there when he gets there - don't you worry!
Wait for it.
I agree! It's very much reminiscent of the R. Kelly scandal. If Diddy did these horrible things he needs to be sitting right next to R. Kelly.... in jail!
LIGHT WILL WASH OUT UP IN
DARKNESS. DAM A HELLA FIGHT😢
MY HEAVENLY FATHER DON'T PLAY I GIVE YOU GREAT PRAISE
THANK YOU O LORD
what if he's innocent
Thanks for sharing your story and your mother’s. Your mother came up in that era where it was forbidden to speak about it, so I commend her, because there are too many from that time that are suffering in silence. You gave some good facts but the truth is, it’s a topic that no one really wants to talk about, especially in the black community. It’s easier to dismiss it altogether. What it is, is the people who are loud and kind of mean around these discussions haven’t experienced it firsthand nor they have they had to hear a love one tell their story. Not everyone has that empathy gene.
I’m a survivor and this was great!! Thank you❤
This is just excellent! Bravo! Thank you for providing me with these facts and knowledge. Thank you for your candor,transparency and strength. I am thankful for your excellent journalism.
Real talk, Jemele. Thank you also for being vulnerable about what happened to you and your mother. I, too, had an attempted rape and wish I could sue the abuser. Thank you for breaking down this very complex matter with straight facts and commentary. I understand now why you walked away from the establishment they’re not ready for your kind of honesty.
Thank you, Ms. Hill.
Losing money is sometimes the only thing people with money can relate to.
Jemele, you absolutley right.
Thank you for speaking facts & having receipts to back it up. My niece rapist is walking free today.
I’m glad women are coming forward it’s not easy to do. I wish every state would follow NY statue. I was sexually abused at 8 and I didn’t remember until 26 so it takes a while for people to understand and try to heal from that time period which is not always in lock step with the laws
Let's fucking go!
The people who are defending Diddy and attacking the victims are probably guilty of SA themselves🤷🏽♀️ They’re nervous and don’t want to be next, that’s why they’re trying to make the victims seem like liars. It’s the oldest trick in the book.
This!! All of This!!!! 🗣️
You are so on point 💙 Thank you 🙏
Well said! The gaslighting around this issue is crazy…including some Black women!
All I know FOR SURE is that this country would be a whole lot better if we listened and learned from people like Jamele. I love her honesty, her perspective and her intellect. Instead Jack off Bill Mahr gets a major platform. Listen to Jamele America and we would all be the better for it!
Jemele great content and factual analysis is on point 💙
Sean Combs and Russell Simmons need to share a prison cell for a long time.
This is journalism 🔥🔥🔥
Thank You for your platform!!
Jemele speaks FACTS!!
The reason Diddy settle so quickly is due to many reasons. 1 Cassie has witnesses to back her claims. 2 she sued Diddy and his corporations which now affect not only him but the power brokers of the companies he is associated with which is why he stepped down from Revolt even though he owns 50% of the company. Her Lawyer is a genius doing this which is why Diddy had no choice but to settle and I'm happy his fall is coming. I wholeheartedly believe he had something to do with Pac and Biggie death. I agree he manipulated Boys, woman, and men in the industry sexually and mentally. His Sins have caught up to him. You can't have the whole city talking about you crazy and it's not true.
I'm so glad you are speaking on this with facts cause these men are hella suspect. Also if Diddy is innocent why did he settle what is it he doesn't want the world to know
Thank you!! As rich and powerful as he is who does that?! A day. As much as he as to lose and is losing these slow dense people know why Diddy settled slow fast they don’t care.
Diddy needs to get done he’s a predator
Well researched.Well presented.Great information. I learned a lot.🌹🌹🌹
Thank you for this thought-provoking, thorough, and heartfelt presentation on this topic!
Well said! Thanks for the education ❤😊
