The Tragedy of Diddy’s Daughters

Jessie James and D’Lila Star Combs are living every teen’s NIGHTMARE!

Here are all the reasons why!  

For 17 years, the identical twins got to live a charmed life, until November last year when Cassie Ventura filed a lawsuit against Diddy…  

And now their entire world has been shaken to its very core…

You definitely remember where you were when Diddy was arrested in September for a slew of illegal activities… 

I absolutely do since I was glued to my screen…

Because no one could have predicted it would have all come to this when that first lawsuit appeared on the horizon…

I definitely don’t think his twins Jessie and D’Lila could have either…

Worse still, the passing of their mother Kim Porter in 2018 means the twins are left without any parent for the time being, with their father in custody…  

What’s more, the close relationship Jessie and D’Lila share with their father is no secret…

I mean they got to dance backup for Diddy at the VMAs last year in September when he got to receive the Global Icon Award ….

After all, there aren’t that many other celeb kids who get to share the stage with their famous parents, except for Blu Ivy with her mom Beyonce…

And right afterward Jessie and D’Lila lavished praise on their Dad in an Instagram post calling him their hero and describing him as amazing and iconic …

And yes, the comments on that post have been turned off this time around…

Because attacks from netizens are just another result of the nuclear fallout from Diddy’s problems the twins are having to face…

And some of those comments are definitely insane…

One commenter remarked they were certain the twins didn’t care about Cassie or the other girls as long as they were taken care of…

Another called them nepo babies, declaring they had no right to be everywhere…

I don’t know about you, but it definitely does look like some netizens are taking their anger at Diddy out on his twin daughters…

One thing’s for sure, though. The twins can definitely count on the support of their faithful fans with one telling their accusers they were going too far…

Another declared any negative comments would be reported and removed because kids were off-limits… 

Jessie and D’Lila have also moved to protect themselves from negative comments and limited them under their prom posts which had a more positive vibe…

But the truth is the twins cannot protect themselves completely and some commenters are willing to go a lot further…

Such as claiming Diddy was responsible for Kim’s passing, for starters… 

If you recall, the twins’ mother, who is also the mother of Quincy and Christian Combs, passed away in 2018 due to pneumonia…

And it goes even deeper…

Because fans are far from the only ones who are suspicious, a few important people are too…

One of them happens to be Kim’s ex-husband Al B. Sure, the father of Jessie and D’Lila’s eldest brother Quincy, who has also called for investigations into her passing…

As a matter of fact, Al called it a tragic case in an Instagram post and alleged that Kim had been set to expose Diddy in the same way Cassie, his ex did…

Al went even further, alleging that those involved in the cover-up of Kim’s passing might also be involved in the passing of several well-known artists…

Few people would be able to guess the other important person who also believes Kim’s passing to be rather suspicious…

That’s because they are none other than Donald Trump’s very own son, Donald Trump Jr…

You heard that right…

Six months ago, in April, Donald Jr., invited podcast host DJ Akademiks’ to Mar a Lago where he declared that not a lot of 47-year-olds passed away from pneumonia…

During that same interview, Donald Jr. also claimed that his ex-wife, Vanessa, who was friends with Kim, was frightened of Diddy and also viewed her passing as suspicious…

Having that old wound reopened so publicly while their father battles for his reputation must be especially hurtful for Jesse, D’Lila, and their brothers Christian and Quincy…

Especially since they must be wondering if they stand to lose the man they call Dad to a lengthy prison sentence with his life’s work in shambles…

I was sure of one thing while watching those allegations fly around from occasionally unexpected sources…

That there was no way anyone would sit back and let other people dredge up painful personal memories and fling around accusations about their loved ones…

It turns out I was right…

In September, the twins and their brothers Quincy and Christian released an Instagram post…

In it, they stated there had been no foul play in their mother’s passing …

The brothers and sisters also debunked claims their mother had written a tell-all book, finally asking for respect for her legacy…

Those wild claims are far from the only issues Jessie and D’Lila are having to face…

The twin sisters also have to deal with the pain of knowing their father has been denied bail and the new reality of only being allowed a brief phone call to speak to him…

That said, there has been a silver lining of sorts where they got to visit Diddy less than a month after his arrest in the company of their grandmother, Janice Combs…

However, it may really not be much of one…

Because I’m definitely sure visiting their father under those circumstances in a jail described as a living hell must be heartbreaking…

What’s more, it’s one thing to be able to protect yourself from angry netizens, and quite another to face the anger of the public in real life…

And that is precisely what Jessie and D’Lila discovered when they attended court with their siblings and Janice…

Because when they arrived at the federal court for the hearing on 10 October, crowds of spectators and journalists were ready and waiting…

The twins however remained stoic in spite of the heckling holding hands and putting on a united show of support for their father along with their brothers…

And this is just the beginning…

Because if Diddy is convicted he would face a minimum of 15 years in jail or life at the most…

There is also the issue of what will happen to his immense empire built over decades and once estimated at one billion dollars…

Should that crumble to dust, the twins may lose both their provider and protector who they love dearly…

And Diddy may not be the only one in hot water…

Jessie and D’Lila’s brothers Justin Dior and Christian Combs have also been mentioned in the lawsuit…

What that means is that there is a possibility that they too may end up behind bars meaning the girls may not only lose their father but two of their big brothers…

The one thing I did expect in the wake of all this was for friends and family to rally to support Jessie and D’Lila…  

And am I glad I was right! 

Kimora Lee Simmons, a close friend of their mother Kim, promised to protect the twins in the wake of disturbing evidence of Diddy subjecting ex-girlfriend Cassie to DV … 

Jessie and D’Lila definitely see Kimora as mom since she has cared for them since their own mother Kim passed away…

But we all know the saying that it takes a village to raise a child, or two teens in this case… 

So just who else is there looking out for the twins? 

Kimora’s daughter Aoki Lee Simmons has also declared her dedication to protecting her friends’ privacy in a live video…

And that means she won’t be answering any questions about them whatsoever, not unless they’ve spoken about it themselves, first of all… 

There is also another special someone taking care of the girls right now…

That person is none other than Kim’s bestie, Lawanda Lane who in an Instagram post in March promised to hold Kim down forever… 

Lawanda’s presence will definitely provide stability to Jessie and D’Lila who are in their final year of high school… 

And that, I believe, is certainly a blessing…

Because believe me, when you have to endure the curious gaze of your schoolmates, having a much-loved figure around can make a world of difference…

I wasn’t surprised to find out that the girls were looking to move house either…

According to The Sun US, the girls were recently spotted house hunting in LA with Lawanda…

Abandoning the family home must be a difficult decision and a sign of the upheaval the girls must be experiencing … 

Especially in light of the special memories it must hold for them….

Watching their father’s world and theirs come apart at the seams must be especially trying for the twins…

And I wonder if there is perhaps a glimmer of hope…

What do you think? Can Diddy bounce back from all this and charm the world as he once did with his family by his side?

Will the twins ever be able to put this nightmare behind them and enjoy life as it once was…

Or will they have to adapt to a grim future without their only living parent and forge their own path ahead?

Whatever happens, I hope they will be able to step into a brighter future than these turbulent times…

And discover within themselves and around them joy and success that will make their mom, their siblings, and themselves most of all, as proud as can be…

It’s the least they deserve because they definitely did not ask for any of this…

The Tragedy of Rev Run

Photo credit: Rev Run/Instagram

With a beautiful, loving family and an incredibly successful music career, Rev Run looks like he has it all.

But those who have followed the hip hop pioneer long from the start know that as well as highs, Rev Run has experienced the lowest of lows.

Rev Run first achieved stardom as part of the legendary group Run-DMC.

The Tragic Loss of Rev Run’s Friend Jam Master Jay

The group’s eventual break up was soon followed by the horrifying loss of one of their members, and a close friend of Rev Run.

It’s been more than two decades since Jam Master Jay of Run DMC fame had his life taken away from him in his recording studio. 

But this year, the men thought to be responsible for his tragic passing were finally convicted. 

In February 2024, as reported in AP News, one of the most talked about and mysterious cases in hip hop history finally came to a close. 

Who Killed Jam Master Jay of Run DMC?

An anonymous jury in Brooklyn found Jam Master Jay’s close associates Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington guilty of taking the legendary DJ’s life in 2002.

In all that time, investigations into the incident proved complicated and confusing. 

The authorities were led in several directions thanks to various tips, rumors and theories throughout the years. 

Top prosecutor Breon Peace told reporters about the difficulties authorities had experienced trying to solve the case. 

He said, “It’s no mystery why it took years to indict and arrest the defendants”. 

The reason he gave was that vital witnesses to the crime “were terrified that they would be retaliated against if they cooperated with law enforcement.”

He added, “Their strength and resolve in testifying at this trial were a triumph of right over wrong and courage over fear.”

Suspects Arrested For The Killing of Jam Master Jay

Although much time has passed since the attack, the story is no less tragic.

This was especially true because Jam Master Jay lost his life at the hands of two people he considered to be close friends.

One of them, Karl Jordan Jr, was actually his godson, while Ronald Wahington was an old friend who was living at the DJ’s sister’s home at the time. 

18 years after the hit, both men were finally arrested in 2020, and went on to plead not guilty to the charge.

After the jury read the verdict, Ronald yelled at the jurors that they had just sentenced two innocent people. 

The supporters of his fellow defendant also started shouting at the jury after the decision was read out.

Both men’s lawyers also restated their belief in their innocence. 

One of Ronald’s lawyers stated, “My client did not do this. And the jury heard testimony about the person who did.”

Jam Master Jay’s Family Happy With Verdict

In 2003, Ronald had given an interview to Playboy in which he claimed to have heard the shots from outside the studio. 

He also said that he saw Karl Jr, who he called Little D, running out of the building. 

Despite protest from the defendants and their legal teams, the family of Jam Master Jay were relieved to hear the verdict given. 

His cousin, Carlis Thompson, said that he felt like a “2000 pound weight” had been lifted after the decision. 

However, AP also reported that the family were saddened that the DJ’s mother had not lived to see the conviction. 

Jam Master Jay was thought to have been attacked after getting involved in trafficking illegal substances to pay off debts.

Or as Assistant US Attorney Artie McConnell explained it, he got involved to take care of the people who depended on him.

Many of those same people might now finally find peace, decades after losing one of hip hop’s great pioneers.

Jam Master Jay And Rev Run’s Beef

In the years leading up to Run-DMC’s split, a rift had started to grow between Jam Master Jay and Rev Run.

After several years of very little recording, Rev Run was eager to get back in the studio.

However, Jam Master Jay’s ongoing battle with substance addiction made it hard for him to return to work.

Despite the tension between the two legends that helped bring about the group’s demise, the loss of Jam Master Jay hugely affected Rev Run.

Rev Run’s Daughter Died 

However, more tragedy would eventually follow that Rev Run couldn’t have even imagined. 

Despite the many successes of their marriage and children, Rev Run and his wife Justine’s lives have also been marked by tragedy. 

Their daughter Victoria was born in 2006 with a birth defect called omphalocele. 

Justine gave birth via a C-section, but tragically, Victoria didn’t make it. 

Rev Run’s Wife Justine Opens Up About Death of Daughter 

Justine opened up about her loss in the couple’s book. 

She described Victoria in the book as a part of her that she felt every day.

Following the loss of Victoria, the couple adopted their daughter Miley. 

In an interview with Ebony magazine, Justine said that adopting is amazing. 

And that all the women who cannot have babies should know that.

Rev Run And Justine Simmons Wrote A Book 

After the end of the hugely popular reality show Run’s House, Rev Run and his wife Justine Simmons seemed to disappear. 

But the truth is that they have kept very busy in recent years. 

In 2020, the couple made headlines again as they promoted their new book, Old School Love, And Why It Works. 

While promoting the book, they were interviewed by Ebony magazine about the lessons they had learned together on love, loss, and faith.

The book received a glowing review, with Rev Run and Justine being told that it was rare that a celebrity-authored book came so highly recommended. 

Rev Run Reveals Intimate Details About Marriage

The interviewer spoke glowingly of reading about Rev Run and Justine’s old fashioned courtship, which made them feel hopeful that such a thing exists. 

When asked what made them want to share the most intimate details of their marriage, Rev Run tried to explain. 

He said that people had been asking them to do a book for ages.


He continued, “So we wanted to be very transparent and give people as much help as we could as to the dynamics of why we’re here, and how we arrived at this place together”.

Justine Simmons Admits To Having Marriage Help 

Justine agreed with her husband, saying that they really wanted to help people with their marriages.

She went on to say that they wanted to give it their all and say, ‘This is what we are doing and, hopefully, if you try this way, it could help you in your own marriage’.

Justine also shared that she and her husband had help themselves throughout their relationship. 

She said that they know it’s not easy.

And she admitted that they were blessed to have mentors that were trying to make their marriage work.

And because of that, they had something to look at.

Rev Run And Justine Are Marriage Role Models 

The couple went on to talk about how their time in reality TV had changed how they were perceived. 

When asked if they were that couple in their social circle that people went to for advice, Rev Run stated that it wasn’t just their social circle. 

He said, “We feel it when we walk down the street. We feel people wanting to look up to us. Because of the television show, it almost feels like the world, whether they know us or not, feels that way”. 

While Justine admitted that one or two couples had come to them, she chose not to reveal any names. 


She also said that the main thing they tried to do was lead by example. 

After keeping their marriage and family strong for so many years through so much tragedy, Rev Run and Justine have proved themselves an example worth following.

Who Is Jaguar Wright?

To most people, the name Jaguar Wright means scandal.

Also known as Jacquelyn Suzette Wright, she has caused a major stir in the music industry for years with some of the most controversial takes around. She has consistently spoken out about her crazy experiences and made accusations against high-profile figures.

While others will know her for her work as a singer and songwriter, many have become familiar with her name because of her outspoken claims about Diddy. With Diddy currently facing serious charges, Jaguar’s accusations are gaining new attention. But who exactly is she, and how does she fit into the industry today?

Early Life


Born in New Jersey in 1977, Jaguar is a singer who first rose to fame in the late 90s. She was discovered by the legendary hip-hop group The Roots in 1998, which led to her first big break. By 2001, Jaguar was performing as a backup singer for Jay-Z on MTV’s Unplugged, a major platform at the time.

Her talent as a singer shone through, and she soon became known in the music community for her powerful performances. Jaguar has also released two studio albums, Denials, Delusions, and Decisions and Divorcing Neo 2 Marry Soul.

In addition to her solo work, she has collaborated with artists like The Roots, Blackalicious, and Mike Watts.
Despite not reaching the same commercial success as some of her peers, Jaguar remains respected for her contributions to neo-soul and hip-hop music.

Allegations


In recent years, Jaguar has made headlines for reasons other than her own music. She has been extremely vocal about her negative experiences in the music industry, particularly her conflicts with other female artists and her accusations against male figures.

In 2020, she publicly called out fellow singers Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, and Mary J. Blige, detailing the ways she fell out with them. She also accused her former boyfriend, rapper Common, of inappropriate behavior. These claims sparked a wave of attention, but Common denied the allegations, expressing disappointment in her public comments.

Allegations Against Diddy


In the last few years, she has turned her attention toward bigger issues in the music industry generally. One of her main targets that has raised a lot of eyebrows has been Diddy.

After all the accusations Jaguar has made against Diddy, many started to wonder how well she actually knows him.
The two may not have worked directly together the same way she did with other artists. But Jaguar was present in the same music circles during the late 90s and early 2000s.This gave her insight into the behind-the-scenes dynamics of Diddy’s position in the industry.

She claimed that she has attended some of Diddy’s infamous parties, which were rumored for a long time to involve troubling behavior. Since Diddy’s arrest, the rumors about those parties have been taken a lot more seriously.

According to Jaguar, she went to these events to “rescue” potential victims. For years, Jaguar has been one of the loudest voices calling out Diddy’s Freak-Off parties. So now that he’s been arrested, many are now paying closer attention to what she has said.

Piers Morgan Interview


On October 3, Jaguar appeared on Piers Morgan’s show, Piers Morgan: Uncensored, to discuss her views on Diddy and the wider culture of silence within the music industry.

The interview also featured DJ Vlad and Ariel Mitchell-Kidd, a lawyer representing one of Diddy’s accusers.

During the interview, Jaguar did not hold back. She called Diddy a “victim-making machine” and described him as “one of the most dangerous people” she has ever encountered.

She also accused Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé of being aware of Diddy’s actions, even suggesting that they were complicit. However, these claims about Jay-Z and Beyoncé were later edited out of the interview following legal requests. While Jaguar made strong allegations, no charges have been filed against Jay-Z or Beyoncé, and both have denied any wrongdoing.

Nevertheless, Jaguar’s comments added fuel to ongoing speculation about Diddy and the music industry generally.
Despite Jaguar’s serious claims, a lot of her allegations have been made without any evidence. Diddy has denied all charges against him and plans to plead not guilty in court.

His legal team has argued that many of the claims being made are untrue or exaggerated. They have pointed out that some of the allegations are being made by people who were not directly involved with him.

While the legal process plays out, Jaguar’s statements are attracting more attention than ever before.
Some people see her as a whistleblower who is speaking truth to power. Others, however, have questioned her motivations and the accuracy of her claims.

As Diddy awaits trial, the public remains divided. His supporters argue that he deserves his day in court and that accusations alone do not equate to guilt. Meanwhile, others, including Jaguar, are pushing for greater transparency and accountability within the music industry. For Jaguar, this fight is personal, and she has shown no signs of backing down anytime soon.



R Kelly’s Daughter Speaks Out

Photo Credits: Buku Abi/Instagram

Joann Kelly, the daughter of R Kelly, recently shared her emotional story about her disgraced father in the documentary R Kelly’s Karma: A Daughter’s Journey. The movie, which aired recently, took a deep look into Joann’s life as she dealt with the consequences of her father’s actions.

The New York Post reported that the 26-year-old has spoken out about how her father’s convictions changed her world forever. Joann described how difficult it was to be the daughter of someone involved in serious criminal activity. She said in the documentary, “Nobody wants to be the child of the father that is out here hurting women and children.”

She explained how the relationship she once had with her father was shattered after his legal troubles. Joann tearfully shared, “He knows exactly why we can’t have the relationship that we would have liked to have with him.” It was clear that her bond with Kelly, which was once very strong, had been irreparably damaged.

For years, R Kelly had been a huge figure in the music world. But his fall from grace affected not just his fans but his family.

Joann Couldn’t Believe the Accusations


Joann talked about how much her father meant to her growing up. Clearly emotional, she said that he had been her everything.

Like many others, she found it hard to believe the accusations at first. She confessed that for a long time, she didn’t even want to believe that it happened. The shock of what her father had done still seemed fresh for her.

Since her father’s conviction, Joann has had to come to terms with a new reality. She mentioned how R Kelly’s conviction changed everything for her. She explained how that one millisecond after his verdict was read out just completely transformed her whole life.

Kelly’s criminal activities made it impossible for her to maintain a relationship with him. She became determined to protect her own son from any negative influence.

As a mother, Joann made it clear that her son would not be meeting his grandfather in prison. She went on to say that if her son asked questions, she was going to be as truthful as possible.

For her, it was important to be honest. But she also wanted to keep her son away from the harmful legacy her father left behind.

R Kelly Failed as a Father


Joann’s mother, Drea Kelly, who was married to Kelly from 1996 to 2009, was also featured in the documentary. Drea spoke candidly about her experience with Kelly, noting how he wasn’t just a bad husband, but a failure as a father.

In the trailer, she said, “Just because you’re not a good husband doesn’t mean you can’t be a good father.” She added that Kelly didn’t even try to be a good parent. Drea seemed to be angry, not just for herself, but for what her children had gone through.

A few months ago, Drea shared her take on the horrifying stories that emerged about her former husband. What she said was a reflection of a great problem in society, exposing a dark and upsetting truth about our culture. The Guardian reported that a culture around victim shaming was the reason that so many women took so long to come forward with the truth about what they experienced at the hands of R Kelly.

After he was found guilty on all nine counts put against him in 2021, Drea’s words helped explain that there’s so much more work that needs to be done to help others in similar situations. She described her ex’s conviction as a step forward. However, she stressed that the most important thing was what would happen next. 

Drea Lived in Constant Fear

During an interview in the UK, Drea said that it was important that women are supported so they have the strength to come forward and tell their stories. She explained, “If they’re still victim shaming, victim blaming, and women being afraid to speak their truth, we can never get to a court system where justice can be served.”

She has also talked about the horrible abuse she suffered at the singer’s hand. Drea described her marriage as a life of constant fear.

In her interview, she also stated her belief that racism was partly to blame for the long struggle for R Kelly’s abuse to reach the public. She explained, “I’ve always said if any of his victims were blonde and blue-eyed it wouldn’t have taken this long.” She added that women of color tend to be lowest on the totem pole when it comes to subjects of abuse.

Drea’s other children, Jaah Kelly and Robert Kelly Jr., also appeared in the documentary, offering their own takes on their father and how his actions affected them.

R Kelly’s Trials Have Been Difficult for His Family


Kelly’s criminal charges had been the subject of multiple trials. In 2021, he was found guilty of serious federal charges and was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

The following year, he faced another trial in Chicago where he was convicted on additional charges. He was sentenced to another 20 years, most of which would be served at the same time as his previous sentence.

These trials brought painful memories to his family, and they have continued to deal with the impact of his actions. The trailer for the documentary gave viewers a glimpse into how Joann coped with the damage her father’s crimes caused her family.

It also promised that Joann would share a heartbreaking secret that changed her childhood and left her scarred for life. In the documentary, Joann revealed how hard it was for her to accept that someone she loved so deeply could be capable of such things. She said in the film, “I didn’t know that, even if he was a bad person, that he would do something to me.”

Drea also shared her feelings about how Kelly’s actions affected their children. She said, “What he did to me, he did to me.”

However, she made sure to add that he didn’t have to do it to her kids. She was obviously angry, and she made it clear that Kelly’s actions went beyond just their marriage. Drea was fiercely protective of her children and the pain they had to endure.

Joann Is Focused on Protecting Her Future


The documentary aimed to shine a light on the impact of living under the shadow of someone like R Kelly. Joann, Jaah, and Robert all had to grapple with the reality of their father’s crimes.

R Kelly’s legal team continues to fight his convictions. But this year, his attempt to appeal his 20-year sentence was rejected. His argument was that older laws should have been applied to his case, but it wasn’t accepted by the court.

With this final appeal denied, Kelly is expected to serve out his sentence in a North Carolina prison, where he is now incarcerated.

For Joann, coming to terms with the man her father really was is still an ongoing journey. Her bravery in speaking out will show viewers the raw and emotional struggle she has faced.

But Joann’s story was not just about her father. It was about reclaiming her own identity and protecting her future.

What Happened to Diggy Simmons’ Girlfriend Jessica

Photo credit: Jessica Jarrell/Instagram and Diggy/X

In the early 2010s, Diggy Simmons’s love life started to attract publicity attention when he began dating Jessica Jarrell.

For a hot minute, it looked like the two were on their way to each having a successful career in the music industry.

And when they were together, it was rumored that they both wanted their love to last forever. 

Who is Jessica Jarrell?

But their romance eventually fizzled out, along with Jessica’s growing fame.

Jessica got her start as a child model, appearing in print campaigns for companies like K-mart and Mattel, per Genius.

But it wasn’t until the late 2000s that she got her break as a Pop R&B singer. 

She signed with Island Def Jam and started working on her first album when she was 13. 

Her debut radio single was called Armageddon.

Jessica’s first concert performance was during Obama’s 2008 White House Easter Egg Roll, but just over a year later, she was performing to thousands of people in sold out arenas.

In 2010, she collaborated on a song called Overboard with Justin Bieber, and all of a sudden, she found herself opening for him on the first leg of his My World 2.0 Tour.

How Did Jessica And Diggy Simmons Meet?

It wasn’t long after this that she met another up-and-coming teen sensation, who was the son of one of the members of the insanely popular hip hop group, Run-DMC.

Diggy was the 4th child of Joseph Simmons, also known as Rev Run. 

He began his music career in 2009, too, so he and Jessica were on the same path to fame in their early teens.

It’s unclear when exactly they first met, but since they were both part of the same record label, there’s a big chance that it led to them crossing paths at some point or another.

In fact, Diggy even appeared in the music video for Jessica’s 2010 song, Up And Running. 

When Did Diggy And Jessica Start Dating?

But it might not have been until about a year later that they actually started to date.

Jessica was an ambassador for Pastry Shoes around that time, and the fashion company documented her Sweet 16 birthday party which included other teen celebs.

In the video made for the special event, Diggy wasn’t afraid of showing how close he’d become with Jessica by that point, because in his message for her he said: “Happy Birthday Jess, Love You.”

According to The Wiz, the pair first began getting photographed going out together in the spring of 2011. 

An Our Music Is Ours video alleged that the couple’s relationship led to a lot of online hate for Jessica from her boyfriend’s fans, supposedly because they were jealous that their teen heartthrob had been snapped up.

But in an interview with Teen Vogue, the singer claimed that she had thick skin and didn’t let things like that get to her.

When asked how she dealt with public criticism, she shared that there’d always be criticism, just like with anything she did in life.

She said: “Whatever it is that you do, there’s always going to be people that want to criticize you.”

Jessica went on to reveal that her parents had taught her that she was not going to please everybody.

And she was okay with that, as long as she was happy and doing what she wanted to do and what she felt was right.

Diggy and Jessica were still together when they turned seventeen. 

Diggy Simmons’ Secret Engagement To Jessica Jarrell

And things were reportedly moving super fast in their relationship.

IB Times revealed that according to sources, the young couple spent their 2011-2012 winter festive period together, and something pretty major happened around Christmas.

The insiders alleged that Diggy proposed to his girlfriend and they’d gotten secretly engaged.

But they were still under the age of consent to legally get married. 

Diggy allegedly wanted to wait until the following year when they’d both turned 18.

Why Did Diggy Simmons And Jessica Break Up?

However, the flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long. 

Who’s Dated Who claimed that the two singers broke up some time around May 2012 after having been together for almost a year.

Online users on Answers alleged that it was Jessica who broke up with Diggy. 

But what really happened remains a secret between the two of them.

After their relationship ended, Jessica kind of faded from the spotlight. 

Why Jessica Jarrell Left Def Jam

She parted ways with Def Jam before 2012.

A report by BET said that she left to make music on her own terms. 

Things went quiet with her for a couple of years, but she came back onto the music scene in 2015 with her album Goldblooded.

She told BET that it was her first album. 

She’d dropped an EP before but never an album, so she was really excited – it was everything she’d wanted her album to be.

Jessica confessed: “I had planned on putting an album out when I was [with] Def Jam but I’m really [happy] that I didn’t.”

Jessica Jarrell’s Music and Acting Career 

She explained that the way the album sounded was what she’d wanted her first shot to sound like.

When explaining the album’s title in an interview with Billboard, the then 20-year-old singer shared that people say they have to be tough and they have to be ‘cold-blooded’,

Goldblooded was a play on that. 

She added that in life, there are always going to be obstacles, but once people see everything they worked so hard for coming together and realize that nothing can stop them, ‘everything feels golden.’

Two years later, Jessica dropped a new single called How Was I under a new label and performed it at different events around the U.S., according to BVI News. 

In 2017, she also dabbled in some homemade reality TV by starting a cooking channel on Youtube and sharing her favorite recipes. 

Over the next few years, Jessica continued to release a new single every now and then, but none of them made it onto the charts or had much commercial success.

In 2023, she turned her sights to acting and starred in two movies made for the streaming platform, Tubi Originals. 

According to IMDB, neither of them were rated highly.

Why Fans Threw Shade At Jessica Jarrell

But why didn’t she ever make it big? 

There’s not one clear answer, but the online world is full of opinions about it.

Someone on Lipstick Alley wrote that Jessica reminded them of a mix of Cassie and Zendaya.

They said that she couldn’t really sing but was being pushed because of her looks.

Another user threw shade at the singer by claiming that she was not focused and had no drive. 

They alleged that she was in her 20s and still lived with her parents and was content just posting the occasional TikTok or social media post.

A third user defended her by saying that she did have drive and focus, but she just didn’t care to be mainstream.

The Our Music Is Ours video claimed that it was because black women didn’t get a lot of chances to succeed, whereas other pop stars of her generation like Selena Gomez did.

Are Diggy Simmons And Chloe Bailey Together? 

And what about Diggy? 

How did things turn out for him after he split with Jessica?

His love life has been somewhat of a mystery. 

He appears to keep his personal life private and hasn’t confirmed many of his relationships.

But that hasn’t stopped the speculation.

PopSugar reported that he’d been linked to his Grown-ish co-star Chloe Bailey. 

The pair played on screen boyfriend and girlfriend in the show which first aired in 2018.

Their TV romance reportedly led to rumors that they were dating on the DL, especially after they were photographed hanging out off the studio lot as well in 2019, per Vulture.

The gossip mill began churning again a year later when Chloe and her sister Halle were asked if they’d ever dated one of their Grown-ish co-stars during an Instagram Live.

When Halle read the question, she quickly pointed to her sister as if she would be able to answer the question. 

But Chloe shut it down.

What Diggy Simmons Looks For In A Girlfriend 

According to Who’s Dated Who, Diggy supposedly went out with Sydney Utendahl and Young Lyric too, but that hasn’t been confirmed. 

In an interview with BET, the singer-turned-actor did open up a little about his dating preferences. 

A dealbreaker for him would be someone who wasn’t able to navigate through different spaces.

He shared that he would often find himself in different rooms, traveling a lot, and doing different kinds of work. 

So, he wanted to be able to bring his person along with him and know that they would be able to get along with people.

When he was asked if long-lasting love still existed, he said that he thought that it did.

He explained: “I think that if you find the right person and you’re able to focus on them, without having anything come between the two [of you], it’s possible.”

The Tragedy of Aoki and Ming Lee Simmons

Ever since Kimora: Life in the Fab Lane came out, Aoki and Ming Lee Simmons have made big names for themselves.

Both are now supermodels within their own right, steadily rising through the ranks of the modeling world.

Simmons’ Family Drama

But despite their recent success, there’s a lot of family drama going on behind the scenes between the girls and their father, Russell Simmons.

And over the past few weeks, this drama has taken a very interesting turn.

According to US Weekly, a feud between Russell and his daughters became public in June 2023.

On Father’s Day 2023, Ming shaded her father and posted a picture of her mom, Kimora Lee Simmons, to her Instagram Story.

The post also featured a caption wishing Kimora a very happy Father’s Day.

Russell Simmons Fires Back

This not-so-subtle jab clearly didn’t sit very well with Russell, who quickly formulated a response.

On his own Instagram Story, he even blamed Kimora for turning his daughters against him.

Russell said: “Stop telling fathers they should have fought harder to see their children and start asking mothers why he had to fight at all.”

And this was merely the tip of the iceberg of a feud that would soon become so much bigger.

Aoki Lee Simmons Blasts Her Father Russell 

In response to Russell’s quote, Aoki joined in on the drama and posted a series of messages.

First, Aoki released an intense text conversation between her and her father from the previous day.

While the message has since been deleted from the social platform, it was allegedly damning.

After posting these messages, Aoki took to Instagram with a live video where she shared some of what was going on with her father.

Alongside begging her dad to get some sort of help, she also accused him of a long history of family harm.

Russell Simmons Allegedly Threatened His Daughters 

Furthermore, she accused him of threatening to ruin her career if she came forward to speak about his behavior.

In the video, Aoki said: “He lashes out at ANYONE who does not say, ‘Ooh Russell everything is fine.’ Well it’s not fine.”

Aoki claimed that Russell had been bullying and threatening her sister for so long.

She also claimed that one time, her dad sent a man to Ming’s house at 2 a.m. just to scare her.

But according to Aoki, Ming wasn’t the only one who was suffering because of Russell.

Aoki’s grandmother, who was in poor health, has also reportedly been harassed and bullied by Russell.

After posting this Instagram video, Aoki also shared a muted video of Russell yelling at her over Facetime.

Kimora Lee Simmons Claps Back At Ex-Husband Russell 

In the wake of these tragic accusations, Kimora actually took to the internet herself to respond.

Kimora, not surprisingly, took the side of her daughters, sharing her own evidence to social media.

On her Instagram Story, she told all about her ex-husband and unearthed her own grief with the situation.

Kimora said: “I’m sorry to have to do this. But this man has been threatening my kids’ lives…”

She went on to elaborate on how she’s been the main parent for her children over the years.

Aoki Slammed Her Father 

A few months after this drama unfolded, Aoki doubled down on her claims about Russell.

According to Entertainment Tonight, she once again slammed her father during a Teen Vogue cover story.

She said that Russell needs to take accountability for his actions and the harm he’s inflicted on his children.

Aoki finished off by saying that she had no regrets about her public shaming of her father.

Alongside being featured in Teen Vogue, Aoki actually graduated from Harvard when she was only twenty years old.

After this, for a while, things quieted down.

Aoki Lee Simmons’ Relationship With A 65-Year-Old

But recently, the drama has taken an even crazier turn.

According to Page Six, Aoki was caught having a fling with a 65-year-old man named Vittorio Assaf.

Vittorio owns a highly successful restaurant corporation based out of New York City.

The two were spotted sharing a kiss on a vacation getaway to St. Barts in the Caribbean.

This raised a lot of alarms as there was a forty-three-year age gap between the alleged couple.

But regardless, according to sources close to Aoki, the two were involved in a relationship.

Someone close to Aoki told People: “Aoki and Vittorio are spending time together and enjoying each others’ company.”

Kimora’s Disappointment With Daughter Aoki 

But this situation soon got out of hand, when Aoki’s family started weighing in on the situation.

Aoki teased that her phone had been blowing up in the wake of the pictures on her Instagram Story.

Allegedly, close friends and family members had been calling her nonstop after the paparazzi leaked those kissing photos.

Even Kimora, who usually supports her daughter, took to Instagram in order to express her disappointment.

Kimora shared a video of a panda bear trying to take care of its cub with the caption: “On my last nerve right now!”

This was clearly implying that she had a problem with Aoki’s budding relationship.

Russell Simmons Came To Daughter Aoki’s Defense 

However, unlike usual, Russell actually came to his daughter’s defense during this media frenzy.

Many fans took to social media asking Aoki’s parents to check in on her.

One fan told Russell to call his daughter and make sure that she was okay.

Russell responded to this message saying: “What makes u think I don’t? Of course, I call both of my daughters daily.”

This was the first fans had heard about Russell’s relationship with his daughters since Aoki accused him of harm.

In an interview with TMZ, Russell doubled down on his support of Aoki’s decisions.

When asked about his thoughts on her relationship with the much older man, Russell seemed to shrug it off.

In all fairness though, there was a massive age gap between Kimora, who was 17, and Russell, who was 34, when they first met.

Russell said the following about Aoki: “I’m not gonna kick and scream about her choices… All I can do is offer my advice and unconditional love.”

Is Aoki Simmons Still With Vittorio Assaf?

But regardless of this advice, or Kimora’s disapproval, the relationship between Aoki and her older boyfriend ended up to be incredibly short-lived.

Supposedly, Aoki met Vittorio on the island, and the two had a very short fling.

Sources close to Aoki even said that the relationship between the two of them was barely even a thing.

And so, in April 2024, a few weeks after it started, it was confirmed that the two had officially split.

Kimora Was Concerned About Aoki and Vittorio’s Relationship

Supposedly Kimora was also deeply concerned about the relationship because it reminded her of her own relationship with Russell so long ago.

A source close to the Lee Simmons clan told People about the official split.

They said: “Aoki is learning to navigate her private life in a public sphere. And that can be difficult… Kimora was concerned to see her daughter in that kind of relationship…”

And since the relationship is now officially over, the drama seems to have calmed down for Aoki, Kimora, and Ming.

Russell Simmons’ Sexual Assault Allegations

But Russell has recently found himself in a different kind of hot water.

According to Variety, Russell owes over three million dollars to three different women.

One of the women who Russell now owes money alleged that the music mogul SA’d her.

And this is one of many SA allegations that Russell is facing.

One can only hope that he is brought to justice and that his family is able to escape his alleged harm.

But for now, it would seem that the chaos surrounding the Lee Simmons clan is coming to a slow end.

The Tragedy of Justine Simmons

Joseph “Rev Run” Simmons and his wife Justine have had a lot of blessings in their life.

A long-lasting marriage, a big family, and a lot of career success. 

But in the mid-2000s, they were hit with the kind of tragedy that most parents think is unimaginable. 

Justine Simmons’ Baby Died 

It took a long time to recover from the heartbreaking experience, and the pair reportedly turned to their religious faith more than ever before to get through it.

But amazingly, after all their deep sorrow, they were able to find a light at the end of a very dark tunnel.

According to PEOPLE, when Justine found out that she was able to get pregnant at the age of 43, she was sure that it was a miracle. 

But little did she know, this good news would later bring her an incredible amount of pain, both physically and emotionally.

In September 2006, TODAY released a sad report about how Rev Run and Justine lost their baby daughter just a few hours after she’d been born. 

The couple were still filming their hit reality TV show, MTV’s Run’s House.

Rev Run Speaks Out About Wife Justine And Tragic Loss

After receiving the sad news, Rev Run released a statement through the network to say that his wife was doing fine.  

But the public later found out that Justine was not fine at all – she was going through one of the worst moments of her life. 

In the statement, the reverend thanked his fans for all of their condolences and their prayers. 

He revealed that they’d named their daughter Victoria Anne Simmons.

And he went on to share that for some unknown reason, she’d chosen to come early, and unfortunately did not survive. 

He said: “We must accept whatever is there and once you accept unconditionally, then everything is beautiful.”

Rev Run also added that every pain had a purifying effect and gave the advice: “Whatever comes your way, just be thankful.”

How Did Justine Simmons’ Baby To Die?

The following year, PEOPLE reported on the medical reason that was most likely the cause for the couple’s daughter only living in this world for a couple of hours. 

From the start of the pregnancy, Justine knew that it was a different experience to the last times that she’d been pregnant.

The pregnancy was not easy. 

She shared that she didn’t eat at all – she didn’t even gain a lot of weight. 

For a long time, the doctors couldn’t even tell the child’s gender. 

But they claimed that they knew it was a girl. 

They’d bought everything in pink for the nursery.

Halfway through Justine’s pregnancy, she and her husband were informed that the baby had a birth defect, which meant that her organs were growing outside her body. 

The deeply religious couple told the doctors that they would continue with the pregnancy, and Justine gave birth to her 4-lb, 5-oz baby via C-section a few months later.

When he found out about his child’s defect, Rev Run told PEOPLE that as a preacher, there was no way that he’d consider terminating the baby’s life.

Rev Run’s Unwavering Faith

He said that their strength came from his Christian principles and his belief that God could create miracles and the baby could be fine.

He shared that they stopped looking at the sonogram and they ‘walked in faith.’

Over the remaining months of the pregnancy, Rev Run would wake up and pray for his baby. 

His faith was reportedly so deep that he believed that it was going to happen – his baby would be healed.

Justine revealed that it was just two of them and their pastor who knew about the child’s condition. 

They didn’t tell anybody else because they didn’t know how it’d turn out.

How Rev Run And His Family Handled The Tragedy 

The two of them had a blended family, with three children from Rev Run’s previous marriage to Valerie Vaughn, and two boys between him and Justine.

The patriarch of the family asked the MTV crew filming them at the time for Run’s House to capture the tragic incident on camera to be used on the show.

The couple’s oldest son Diggy, who was 12 at the time, was reportedly the first one to ask his dad how his mom was doing, only to be told that he would never get to meet his sister.

Rev Run shared that in his mind, God had given them all something to go through in front of America, so they documented it on-camera.

When explaining his reasoning, he said that it was not so much to show the viewers sadness, but to show them how he, as a minister, would handle that tragedy. 

Which reportedly was why his children found out the news about the baby on-camera.

Rev Run speculated that Diggy might have taken it the hardest, but he didn’t let him. 

He claimed that he had him out on the skateboard the first day. 

The reverend explained that they taught their kids thankfulness. 

Justine Simmons’ Confession 

In her interview with PEOPLE, Justine confessed that apart from her religion, it was her husband’s advice that helped her to go on.

He told her that they had to keep moving. 

She said that if he hadn’t been for that, then she wouldn’t have been able to help her kids get to school in the morning.

Her recommendation to anyone who’d been through something similar was that women needed to know they only needed to mourn quickly. 

But that was easier said than done. 

Justine Said I Was Trying To ‘… Heal My Sorrow …’

In 2020, she and Rev Run released a book titled Old School Love: And Why It Works.

A more recent report by PEOPLE revealed that in the book, the couple talked about what they’d been through and how they were able to heal.

Justine admitted that while her husband found comfort in God and being with her after the loss of Victoria, she found comfort going under the bed covers. 

She shared: “I was trying to heal my body, heal my sadness, heal my sorrow, and heal my heart… I was lonely for my child.“

Though she felt a lot of pain and sorrow, she advised readers of her book not to push those feelings away. 

She added that the enormity of losing a child after carrying it full-term would have a profound effect on anyone.

Rev Run And Justine’s Road To Recovery and Healing

During his interview in 2007, Rev Run explained that everybody cries, but it should not be a long period of it. 

He revealed that the pair didn’t have pictures of their late daughter. 

They didn’t look back. 

They didn’t want the walls of their house to start crying and everything to just crumble around them.

The couple were on the road to recovery.

Justine shared her new perspective on things, which was that they knew that Victoria was with God in a wonderful place looking down on them.

And she went on to say that it was probably why they’d had a lot of blessings going on in 2007.

In Old School Love: And Why It Works, the husband and wife spoke about one of the biggest things that helped them heal.

Rev Run And Justine Adopted A Baby

After Justine had made a physical recovery, Rev. Run asked her if she would consider adopting a baby.

It had been something that she’d told him she’d like to do in the past, before they’d gotten pregnant with Victoria.

Justine wrote in the book that when her husband made the suggestion to adopt, all her pain melted. 

That was what she really wanted to do.

She claimed that it was God’s plan from the beginning – she felt it, deep in her soul and in her heart.

Around a year after their daughter’s passing, Justine and Rev Run adopted a little baby girl named Miley Justine. 

The parents confessed that it was not an easy process to adopt her, but they couldn’t have been more grateful that they were able to do so.

Justine wrote that there were still times when she would forget that she didn’t actually carry her daughter and birth her. 

Miley was as much from her body as Victoria was.

She went on to say that she wanted all women to know that if they couldn’t conceive a baby or carry a baby, adoption was truly a miracle.

She gushed: “To be able to give a baby love, to be able to give a baby a home, to be able to give a baby a good life- that’s the miracle.”

Uncle Si Needs Prayers

Uncle Si Robertson, the beloved star of Duck Dynasty, recently sparked concern among his fans. While his latest Instagram post was meant to honor fallen soldiers on Memorial Day, many of his followers were more focused on something else, his health.

In the post, Uncle Si paid tribute to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for America. The message was heartfelt, and the majority of the comments were supportive of his Memorial Day tribute. However, a few fans couldn’t help but notice that he was hooked up to oxygen in the video.

RELATED: The Little-Known Duck Dynasty Scandal

For those who don’t know, Si Robertson is Phil Robertson’s younger brother. He became a breakout star on Duck Dynasty, the hit reality show on A&E that followed the Robertson family and their business, Duck Commander. Si’s quirky personality and hilarious one-liners made him a fan favorite.

Before becoming a TV star, Uncle Si served in the Army for 25 years. He retired from the military in 1993. Even with his tough past, recent health issues have caused some worry among his fans.

Uncle Si Underwent Lung Surgery

Two years ago, Uncle Si opened up about his lung problems. He revealed that he had been struggling with breathing issues for a while. Fans noticed that he had been using oxygen from time to time, especially during his appearances on his podcast, Duck Call Room.

Taste of Country reported that, in June 2022, Uncle Si shared some big news with his fans. He was approved for a surgery that would help his lungs. The procedure involved inserting valves into one of his under-performing lungs to help it function better. 

Si also admitted that much of his breathing trouble was caused by smoking for 40 years. He said that his years of smoking, particularly during his time in Vietnam, had taken a toll on his lungs.

Thankfully, the surgery went well. Three months after the operation, Uncle Si shared that he was feeling better. 

He even joked about being more or less back to work, despite needing to take it easy sometimes. He also had cataract surgery at the end of 2022, adding to the list of health challenges he’s faced.

It’s clear that his health issues have been ongoing for quite some time, but he has always seemed to handle it with humor and grace.

Uncle Si Changed His Look for the First Time in 31 Years

Uncle Si has always been open about his personal life on his podcast. Recently, he shared another big life event with his listeners. 

In June 2024, he revealed that he had trimmed his hair and beard for the first time in 31 years. Fans of Duck Dynasty will remember Uncle Si’s long, wild beard as one of his trademarks. 

But now, he’s sporting a new look, a clean shave on the sides with a thick goatee in the middle. His co-hosts even called it a “mudflap” during the podcast episode.

Why the big change? According to Uncle Si, he just felt like mixing things up. After more than three decades of the same look, he decided it was time for something different.

Even though he’s dealing with health challenges, Uncle Si continues to entertain his fans. Whether it’s on his podcast or social media, he still finds ways to make people laugh. 

However, his ongoing fragility has left some fans worried. Many have started asking for prayers for Uncle Si, hoping that he stays strong through these challenges.

It’s clear that Uncle Si’s health has been a concern for some time, but his fans are hopeful. His surgery in 2022 was a success, and despite needing oxygen on and off, he remains active in his work. However, seeing him slower than usual and hooked up to oxygen in the recent Instagram post led many to express their concern.

His followers have always appreciated his openness and honesty. His down-to-earth attitude, even while dealing with serious health problems, has endeared him to fans even more. Now, they are hoping and praying for his full recovery.

Uncle Si Retired from Duck Dynasty

Uncle Si has been a part of many people’s lives through Duck Dynasty. His sense of humor and unique personality have made him a household name. 

His popularity with fans, as well as his business success, has helped him amass an impressive fortune. Through his work on reality shows and revenues from his book sales and royalties, online outlets have reported that Uncle Si has accumulated a net worth of around $8 million. 

When Duck Dynasty ended, Uncle Si retired from his job at Duck Commander. However, in 2022, Uncle Si reappeared on our screens with the launch of a new reality show.

RELATED: Why the Duck Dynasty Family Disappeared

DCK Family Treasure premiered on Fox Nation in June 2022. The show follows Murry Crowe and Jase and Jep Robertson as they embark on metal-detecting activities with Uncle Si directing them from the Duck Commander studio. The idea of the show started on a podcast when Jase revealed that he had gotten into metal detecting as a hobby.

While promoting the show in July last year, Jep and Jase appeared on Fox News Saturday Night. During their interview, they revealed that Uncle Si didn’t do much on the show except drink tea.

Fans Have Sent Si Their Support

After trying his hand at so many careers throughout his long life, it’s no wonder Uncle Si is starting to take it a little easy. Now more than ever, fans are praying for Uncle Si to slow down and take care of himself.

Some fans have also suggested that it’s important to remember that Uncle Si has faced health challenges before and bounced back. After all, he’s known for his tough spirit and determination. His lung surgery in 2022 was a big step toward improving his breathing, and he’s continued to work and stay active since then. 

Even someone as tough as Uncle Si needs prayers and support from time to time. So, while fans continue to enjoy his stories and laugh at his jokes, they’re also sending their thoughts and prayers his way. 

Uncle Si has given so much to his fans over the years. Now, they’re ready to give back by offering their support.

For now, all we can do is hope for the best for Uncle Si. He may be facing some health challenges, but he’s never let anything slow him down before. 

Hopefully, with his family there to support him, he’ll pull through his current struggles like the Robertsons always have. His brother, Phil, was forced to leave Duck Dynasty after making some homophobic remarks to GQ.

Although the show continued for another three seasons, its popularity was badly damaged. Through all of the controversy the scandal brought on, the Robertsons refused to give up on each other.

With the support of his fans and loved ones, it’s likely that Uncle Si will keep fighting and keep making us all laugh for years to come.

Why Did JLo and Diddy Break Up?

Photo Credits: JLo/Instagram and Diddy/Instagram

In August 2024, Jennifer Lopez dropped a bombshell that she was divorcing her ‘greatest love,’ Ben Affleck, on their second wedding anniversary. 

One month later, Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested in New York City. He was charged with disgusting crimes against defenseless people, including his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.

Many of us remember when JLo and Diddy were allegedly a serious item two decades ago. Did their breakup have anything to do with his secret life? 

RELATED: The Tragedy of JLo’s Kids

The JLo and Diddy relationship lasted two years, from 1999 to 2001. Their romance is once again a search term on the Internet. Outlets like Hollywood Life are warming the old tea back up to spill it again.

Hollywood Life got right to it when they reminded us that JLo and Diddy “broke up once infidelity rumors started to swirl.” They dished on everything related to “the former couple” who “apparently had a rollercoaster relationship.” 

Shockingly, JLo’s mom had a hunch that something was up with Diddy. Hollywood Life claimed she “disapproved of their romance” from the start.

You have to hand it to JLo’s mom, Guadalupe Rodríguez, for knowing the real truth back then. This includes the crazy moment when JLo was by Diddy’s side, and they both got arrested.

JLo and Diddy Were Chased by the Police

Hollywood Life reported that Diddy and JLo “were arrested in December 1999.” They’d been enjoying a night out at Club New York when Diddy “got involved in an argument” with a rapper named Jamal “Shyne” Barrow. 

Diddy’s bodyguard, Anthony “Wolf” Jones, was also by his side at the club. After the fight broke out, Diddy, JLo, and Wolf took off and “were chased by police.” 

Hollywood Life got another bombshell from an old report in Forbes. Allegedly, law enforcement “found a stolen [weapon] in the car” that Diddy and JLo were in. They “were subsequently arrested on weapons and bribery charges.” 

Jennifer’s charges “were promptly dropped,” and Diddy was acquitted of his charges in 2001. You have to wonder if Diddy will have the same luck in court this time.

Hollywood Life repeated that JLo and Diddy “broke up in February 2001 once rumors of his infidelity began to circulate.” The outlet wrote that Diddy never confirmed the cheating rumors, but JLo exposed more in an interview with Rolling Stone. 

JLo Used to Be a Homebody

JLo spoke with Rolling Stone in the months following her breakup with Diddy. Hollywood Life wrote that Diddy “went by Puff Daddy at the time.” JLo claimed that she and Puff “had different ways of thinking.” 

JLo offered a crazy explanation to Rolling Stone. If she were telling the real truth, Ben might have preferred to marry that version of JLo.

According to JLo, Puff Daddy loved to “go out” when they were together. Shockingly, she told Rolling Stone she was “more of a homebody.” That’s not the image we have of JLo today.

It’s common knowledge now that JLo craves the spotlight and always prefers to be out. On the other hand, Ben is infamously more private, so he’s the real “homebody.” It’s crazy that JLo described herself that way so long ago before she fell for Ben.

Wendy Williams Wanted JLo and Diddy Back Together

It took a couple of years after her split from Diddy for JLo to drop another bombshell. This time, Vibe was interviewing her, and JLo exposed a gut feeling she had about Diddy cheating, even though she told Vibe that she never actually “caught him.” 

JLo revealed that Diddy would often tell her he was going to a club for a couple of hours, but he would “never come back that night.” She confessed that it was the “first time” she’d been seriously involved with a guy “who wasn’t faithful.”

It sounded like JLo’s relationship with “Puff” became a nightmare. She complained to Vibe that she was “totally crying,” she felt “crazy,” and that she was “going [more] nuts.” JLo added, “It really took my whole life in a tailspin.”

Hollywood Life jumped forward to 2015 when JLo appeared on The Wendy Williams Show. Since Diddy was recently thrown in jail, the Internet dug up this nine-year-old interview with JLo and Wendy.

Wendy always loved stirring the pot with her guests and firing up old rumors. Wendy put JLo on the spot when she claimed she’d “always” pictured JLo and Diddy getting back together. 

JLo looked awkward, and the audience went nuts. However, one person was there who had inside information, and they obviously disapproved of Wendy’s suggestion.

In case you didn’t guess, Guadalupe was sitting in the audience listening to Wendy tell JLo she should get back with Diddy. JLo could only laugh with embarrassment. Guadalupe waved off the comment like she thought Wendy was nuts, and she had a disgusted look on her face.

JLo May Have Shaded Diddy in Her Documentary

In March 2024, JLo was still officially married to Ben, and Diddy was still a free man. However, storm clouds were brewing for both of them.

Media outlets like Stylecaster took another look back at JLo and Diddy’s bad romance. Shockingly, Stylecaster alleged that Diddy treated JLo “rough” and disrespectfully. Could this be the real truth, and if so, did JLo experience trauma like Diddy’s other victims?

Stylecaster made that huge assumption based on JLo’s “2024 documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told.” The outlet alleged that JLo “might have referenced why Diddy broke up with her” when she “referenced her past relationships” in her documentary.

One of the more shocking parts of her documentary was JLo’s on-air confessional that she’d been mistreated in some of her previous relationships. She revealed, “There were people in my life who said, ‘I love you,’” but these lovers never acted in ways that “were kind of in line with the word, love.”

JLo also said she’d been “thrown around and mishandled” in past relationships, which wasn’t “fun.” Her bombshell was getting explosive.

Then, JLo claimed in her documentary that she was “never in a relationship when [she] got beat up, thank God.” No one deserves to get treated like that.

She alleged that she’d “definitely been manhandled, and a couple of other unsavory things.” JLo called it “rough” and “disrespectful,” but she never mentioned Diddy’s name directly.

JLo “Just Knew” Diddy Was Cheating

Stylecaster also mentioned something else that JLo told Vibe back in the day. This was after she claimed that she’d “never caught [Diddy] cheating, but [she] just knew.” Stylecaster wrote that JLo and Diddy “officially called it quits” after she thought about it long and hard, and JLo explained why.

She had to ask herself a crazy question: “Do I want to be home with kids in 10 years, wondering where somebody is at 3 in the morning?” Thankfully, her answer was no.

RELATED: Diddy’s Life In Prison 

In March 2024, US Weekly reported on all of JLo’s “quotes about Diddy through the years.” This was bound to get juicy, especially when JLo revealed what it felt like getting arrested with Diddy in that getaway car.

JLo was interviewed by Elle magazine in July 2000, and she shockingly described the night of her arrest as a “complete nightmare from beginning to end.” She also confessed that she was “scared to death in the car.”

JLo claimed she had “absolutely no idea what was going on.” She added, “No one did.”

JLo Still Has Love for Diddy

US Weekly revealed that JLo and Diddy met “on the set of a music video” the year they started dating. Their relationship wasn’t just a rollercoaster behind the scenes. US Weekly wrote that JLo and Diddy “experienced some major highs and lows” together in public.

One of the most famous moments in JLo’s relationship with Diddy was the Grammy Awards in 2000. Diddy was JLo’s date that night when she wore that super-revealing “green Versace dress” that everyone still talks about today.

A decade ago, JLo was interviewed by Access Hollywood, and she dropped the craziest bombshell possible about Diddy. It’s crazy because JLo spoke fondly of her time with Diddy. You need to hear this.

She claimed that Diddy “gave [her] so many cues and taught [her] so many things.” Shockingly, JLo claimed she would “always be grateful” to Diddy, and she alleged, “There’s still so much mutual respect, admiration, and love there.”

What Happened At Julie Chrisley’s Resentencing

On Wednesday, September 25, Julie had her resentencing, and she got some terrible news. Before the hearing, the whole family had been hoping that Julie’s sentence could be shortened. It had previously been vacated after it was found that there wasn’t enough evidence for her initial sentencing. Julie’s daughter Savannah said that because of this, she hoped that her mom could come home as early as Thanksgiving.

However, this is not what’s going to happen. People Magazine reported on Julie’s hearing, which took place in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. Julie appeared before a judge at the US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

Resentencing

But unfortunately for her, the judge didn’t grant Julie any kind of relief. Instead, she was told that she would have to serve her original sentence after all. Julie first reported to prison in January 2023. She was told that she’d have to spend about 7 years in prison or 84 months.

She and the rest of the Chrisley family have been fighting this ever since.Savannah especially has been trying to get her parents out of prison by any means necessary. For a while, it looked promising, especially with Julie’s recent hearing. But now, their hopes have been somewhat crushed.

Devastating News

It’s clear that Julie’s resentencing was a very emotional day for the whole family. Reports say that Julie even broke down in tears before receiving her final verdict. She wanted to take the opportunity to apologize for some of her actions and behavior. She told the court that she was sorry for everything that led them to where they were that day.

Julie Apologizes For Her Past

Julie claimed that she’d been thinking about it all over the last 20 months. That’s how long she’s been in prison. But she also added that she had already been having these thoughts even before then. She said that she also thought of all this before her trial. Then, she apologized again.

She also seemed determined to show the court that she’s changed. She wanted them to understand that she was ready to repent and pay for her actions.She said: “I have done everything I can do to get closer to my family. I’ve taken tests for new skills, such as driving a forklift and serving food in proper ways… this has been the most difficult part of my life.”

Savannah Speaks Out

After Julie received her new official sentence, Savannah had a lot to say to the press. An interview with her, Chase, and the Chrisleys’ lawyer Alex Little was shared by Entertainment Tonight. Savannah stated that the judge’s decision was an injustice. She also said that she would keep fighting for her parents as loudly as she could.

She alleged that the system was broken and that the judge had not done her research. Savannah made it clear that the family would be appealing Julie’s new sentence as soon as possible. They aren’t going to just accept defeat.

They still have hope that Julie could come home earlier than in 5 years. The lawyer, Alex Little, also shared his thoughts on the hearing. He made it clear that the family was very disappointed with the judge’s decision.

Personal Attack

He also stated that the judge had made some personal attacks on Savannah during the hearing. Reportedly, the judge made an indirect comment about how the family shouldn’t be focused on their TV and podcast ratings. This seemed to be aimed at Savannah, who runs a very successful podcast, Unlocked. But it isn’t the only criticism that the judge faced from the Chrisleys.

Another one of the family’s lawyers, Jay Surgent, later spoke to TMZ about the results of the hearing. And he claimed that the reason why Julie’s sentence didn’t get shortened was actually very simple. According to Jay Surgent, the judge has a bias against celebrities. He pointed out that Julie is in no way a threat to society. But despite that, she has to serve a pretty long, harsh sentence.

His theory is that this is because the judge wanted to make an example out of her. Julie is known by millions of people, so the public will most likely hear about what happened to her. It might put them off doing something like this themselves.

Savannah called out the shortcomings in the justice system and stated that she would keep trying to make a difference “no matter how tough it gets.”
