Michael Ilesanmi famously went missing two months after finally arriving in America to join his wife, Angela Deem, on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days.
Even before his disappearance, there were rumors that the couple was fighting and heading for a divorce. Things have been unusually quiet between them for a few months, but now Michael has resurfaced on social media.
On May 3rd, Michael posted a series of photos on Instagram, giving his first update to fans in some time. The photos were simple selfies of Michael posing in front of a mirror and wearing casual clothes. “You either get bitter or get better,” he captioned.
Michael Resurfaced In a Telling Instagram Post
Fans immediately noticed that he was no longer wearing a wedding ring on his finger. The caption continued saying, “It’s that simple. You either take what has hurt you and allow it to make you a better person, or you allow it to tear you down. The choice does not belong to fate. It belongs to you.”
His comments were filled with support from fans. Many of them said that he looked happier, and they were glad to see it. Others told him to live his best life and keep Angela from bossing him around.
Michael’s return to social media follows a long silence. During his disappearance, he told fans that he was going to be stepping away from social media. He’d return when the time was right. It seems now is that time.
Michael and Angela have had a troubled relationship, which made them fan favorites from the start. Besides appearing on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, they were also on other spin-offs like 90 Day: The Last Resort and 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?
Angela Learned that Michael Had An Affair In Nigeria
Michael is originally from Nigeria, and he met Angela online. A romance sparked, and they started dating long-distance for several years. Eventually, Angela went to Nigeria, where the two got married. When she returned to the United States, she started to put in paperwork for her husband’s visa.
Then, things got complicated. First, the country was hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. Travel between countries became limited, and visas were extremely delayed. Angela also later learned that Michael was having an affair with another woman in Nigeria.
She obtained voice messages that Michael had sent to this other woman. They devastated her because they were things that Michael said to her, too. Despite the cheating scandal, the couple made up, and Michael was able to eventually receive his visa.
He made it to the United States, where the couple lived together for a couple of months. Then, something wild happened.
Michael Went Missing After Arriving to the U.S.
Just two months after moving to the United States, Michael disappeared. Angela posted a video on TikTok saying that she couldn’t find Michael and all of his things had been left behind. His passport, ID, clothes, even his toothbrush were still at her home.
Michael later used a burner phone to contact the police to tell him he had left and was in fear for his life because of Angela. It was at this point that Michael told his fans he’d be leaving social media for a time and would return later.
With Michael’s recent return, and without his wedding ring, it seems the drama between the two may finally be coming to an end.
Last week saw the appeal case for Todd and Julie Chrisley finally heard. Here’s what happened.
People magazine reported on the couple’s oral argument session on April 19 in Atlanta. This came just over a year since both were sentenced to prison for fraud and tax evasion.
Neither were in attendance for the hearing, but some of their relatives turned up, including Savannah, Chase, Grayson and Nanny Faye Chrisley. Their family was present to hear the Chrisley’s lawyer claim that misconduct had occurred in the couples’ trials.
What Happened at Todd and Julie Chrisley’s Appeal
Alex Little argued that “the evidence suggested that the prosecutors here worked in concert with the witness.” He went on to claim that some of the way the trial progressed “would have had a potential prejudicial effect on the defendants leading the jury to believe that they had not paid their taxes.”
But, the lawyer argued, the truth was that the Chrisleys had “paid everything before trial” and “the government doesn’t argue that they hadn’t paid.”
He added that “the IRS didn’t know what they were doing.” In response, a representative for the US Attorney’s Office claimed that the evidence was “overwhelming at trial that the Chrisleys had taken a number of steps to evade the IRS.”
However, they also admitted that “if there are credible allegations and some evidence proffered about any sort of government misconduct a hearing should be had.”
The Chrisleys Were Awarded a $1M Settlement
However, many believe that there must have been something wrong with the way the couple’s case was handled. After all, a few months ago, they were awarded a $1 million settlement regarding their lawsuit in which they alleged misconduct in the investigation against them.
A lawyer for the couple reportedly announced the settlement. They will be receiving $1 million from the state of Georgia to resolve their federal lawsuit against Joshua Waites.
Waites is the former Director of Special Investigations of the state’s Department of Revenue. The lawsuit was first filed in 2019. The family lawyer, Alex Little, made a public statement following the announcement of the settlement.
He said, “We have been saying for months that the criminal case against the Chrisleys was highly unusual and had real problems”. He added that the settlement is “an encouraging sign”.
The statement continued, “It’s nearly unprecedented for one arm of the government to pay money to defendants while another arm is fighting to keep them in jail”.
The Chrisley Investigation Lasted Two Years
The investigation into the Chrisleys lasted two years, and eventually led to the couple being cleared of a $2 million state tax evasion charge.
The Chrisley Knows Best stars had been investigated for tax irregularities between 2008 and 2016. But People reported in 2019 that the Georgia Department of Revenue had agreed that they had actually overpaid in four of those years.
And the couple owed nothing for the other four years, according to a press release obtained by People.
In fact, they had a net liability of less than $77,000 in overdue taxes for just one year of incorrect filing. Todd said in a statement at the time, “Julie and I knew all along that we had done nothing wrong and that when the facts all came out, we would be fine”.
After the oral arguments of the appeal came to an end last week, Chase took to social media to thank the family’s supporters who showed up.
Chase and Savannah Chrisley Reacted On Social Media
He wrote on Instagram, “Thank you to everyone who came and showed myself and my family support this morning!!” He went on to add, “God is good!”
Whether or not the arguments were enough to overturn the Chrisleys’ shocking sentences remains to be seen.
Savannah has spent the last year very involved in her parents’ sentencing and trying to get them out of prison. She’s dedicated many podcast episodes to her parents’ appeal, which is what made it even stranger when she chose to upload a podcast episode with Grayson after their parents’ oral arguments were heard.
In the episode, Grayson seemed to be sick of talking about his parents and their prison sentence. He explained that he wants to go to college early for one pretty major reason.
Grayson Chrisley Wants to Take a Step Back
He told Savannah that he wants to go to college early so that he doesn’t have to hear about his parents’ situation all the time. He even said that he’d like to be able to spend his weekends having his own plans.
Savannah has talked a lot about how she, Grayson, and Chloe go to visit one of their parents almost every weekend Todd is currently serving a ten-year prison sentence in Pensacola, Florida, and Julie is serving a five year prison sentence in Lexington, Kentucky.
Todd’s sentence was originally 12 years, and Julie’s was originally 7 years, but both had their sentences reduced after they participated in different programs to get their sentences reduced.
Because of how far both of their parents are from Nashville, where Savannah, Grayson, and Chloe live, they’re forced to dedicate entire weekends to visiting each parent. According to Savannah and Grayson in previous podcast episodes, it’s very emotionally-taxing for them to visit as frequently as they do.
So it makes sense that Grayson wants a break from constantly thinking about his parents and what they’re going through. He said that he’d like to be like his other siblings who aren’t as involved, and seemed to call out Chase for being like that.
Grayson Changed His Mind About College
One of the most interesting reveals in the podcast, though, is that Grayson had previously been very outspoken about NOT wanting to attend college at all.
At the time, he said that he didn’t see the point in going to college, because he believed that he could start a career in what he wanted to do without going to college. He also said that he thought that most kids went to college just to party, and he had no interest in that.
So the fact that not only does he now want to attend college, but he also wants to go to college early is especially shocking. He acknowledged his change of heart, and seemed to blame it on wanting to have a life outside of Savannah’s control over him.
According to the podcast, Savannah is extremely against the idea of Grayson going to college early, because she believes that he’s too young, and also because she thinks that now he just wants to go early so that he can party.
Throughout the podcast, most of what they talked about was about Grayson’s want to go to college early. Interestingly, Savannah talked about just how affected Grayson is by his parents’ situation right now.
Savannah Said that Grayson Has Been Struggling
She said that after the oral arguments were completed, Grayson had a panic attack due to the trauma and PTSD from being back in the same courtroom where his parents had previously been convicted and sentenced. She explained that he had wanted to go, but it was very difficult for him to be there.
She also explained that they all got stuck in an elevator in the courthouse. She said that there were 12 people on the elevator, and she had already been extremely anxious the entire night and day before. She began to feel claustrophobic as more people got on the elevator, and then it got stuck.
She said that she began undressing in the elevator because of how hot the elevator was and how anxious she was. She even explained that she had to take her Spanx off because of how claustrophobic she felt.
She finally said that they were ultimately stuck on the elevator for 15 minutes and that she was hoping that it meant good luck for her parents’ appeal.
What’s Next for Todd and Julie?
Ultimately, it could be at least a year before anything comes out of the oral arguments. According to Savannah, it could be a month or so, or it could be up to a year before they hear anything. And she said that the next morning, she got on a flight to go see her dad in Pensacola for the weekend.
Lastly, she talked about how she’s in her fighting era, she’s ready for justice to be served, and she and the kids are ready for her parents to come home.
But for right now, all we know is that we’re waiting for the decision to come back from federal courts after this latest appeal update.
Kim Kardashian appeared at an event in L.A. on May 5th, and the audience booed her loudly. Is Kim experiencing a shocking fall from grace? If that’s the real truth, the New York Postclaims she’s “furious” about her “haters.”
43-year-old Kim presented at the “Roast of Tom Brady” Netflix special. When she walked up to the podium and started to make fun of fellow presenter Kevin Hart, Kim got attacked with boos instead.
Kim was wearing a tight-fitting black dress, and she dyed her hair platinum blonde again. She was holding a glass of champagne, but her voice got drowned out as soon as she began cracking jokes. She had to wait for the booing to stop, and then the situation got very awkward.
Kim Kardashian Gets Booed at Tom Brady Roast
Kim tried to control the crowd by feebly repeating, “All right, all right, all right,” but the way Kim looked, she had to be thinking that people were treating her wrong.
Shockingly, the Post reported that Kevin could be heard “off-camera,” and he kept saying “whoa,” like even he couldn’t believe how badly the audience was going after Kim.
After an undisclosed amount of time, the booing finally “petered out,” according to the Post. There were even cheers from the crowd, enough for Kim to “carry on with her speech.”
She started by addressing a rumor about her about 46-year-old Tom that spread after his divorce from model Gisele Bundchen.
Kim didn’t quite set the record straight. If anything, she just threw some shade at herself.
Kim Tried to Be Funny But it Fell Flat
She said, in part, “I know there were some rumors” about her and Tom dating. Kim claimed, “I’d never say if we did or not,” and shockingly, she joked, “I’d just release the tape.”’
Of course, the “tape” that Kim was joking about is a reference to her 2002 amateur adult film with ex-boyfriend Ray J, which was leaked to the press in 2007.
The timing has always been suspicious since Keeping Up with the Kardashians premiered on the E! Network the same year, and many of Kim’s haters alleged the whole thing was a publicity move.
Tom and Kim’s dating rumor started last July when they both attended a swanky Fourth of July party in the Hamptons. However, according to a Page Six report, Kim only spoke to Tom “briefly,” and they’ve always been just “friends.”
Kim mercilessly roasted Tom as a pretty boy, comparing him to her “former stepdad,” now Caitlyn Jenner. She said Caitlyn should prove to Tom that he can “become a commentator, a far-right Republican, or even a strong, confident woman.”
Although Kim claimed she was “just here tonight to support and celebrate” Tom, she also joked about giving him “the same advice” she’s given her exes, which is, “good luck knowing the best is behind you.” But is that also the real truth about Kim?
Tom Brady Made a Savage Joke About Kim
When it was Tom’s turn to return the “insults” he’d gotten from other presenters, the Post wrote that he “savagely burned Kardashian.”
Tom began by saying that Kim was “terrified” to present at his roast, but not because she got met with loud boos from her haters.
Tom joked that Kim was terrified “because her kids are at home with their dad.” The Post called it a “ruthless joke” aimed at Kim’s scandal-plagued ex, Kanye West, and they described how Kim “shook her head and awkwardly laughed” at Tom’s crack because that was the only thing she could do.

The Diddy drama has been getting wilder and wilder and now, even Justin Bieber is involved. The reason why is seriously mind-blowing. After all, this wouldn’t be the first time someone has suspected that Diddy might have done something to Justin.
But now, Jaguar Wright is shedding more light on it. Let’s just say that the details that we never knew of are finally getting exposed.
Justin has gone through a lot just to have the career he has today. When I say a lot, I don’t just mean putting time behind the mic to make a hit record.
I mean that he’s allegedly been through a lot of grooming and harm because of who he is and the career he chose. According to Jaguar, Diddy has allegedly been using Justin as his boy toy for the better part of Justin’s career.
It got so bad that Justin was even hinting at it in some of his songs. Back then no one knew what Justin was singing about.
Now Jaguar took her revelation a step further by revealing that Diddy wasn’t the only one who had something going on with young Justin. Apparently, he didn’t have any issue sharing Justin with other people and would pass Justin to anyone.
Justin Was Clueless About the Music Industry
There’s a video of Justin with Odell Beckham and Trey Songz that started recirculating again thanks to Jaguar. This video had some signs that supported Jaguar’s accusations. In the video, Justin bent down towards Odell and when the camera turned to him again, he was just lifting his head.
When the video first came out, the story was that Justin was bending down to snort something. According to Jaguar, that was nowhere close to the truth.
In the video, when Justin appeared on the camera a second time, his mouth was wet. Not only that but it looked like Trey Songs was standing on guard.
Now Jaguar is coming out to say that Justin was actually doing something intimate with Odell Beckham. Since Trey was on guard, she’s alleging that Justin was doing it willingly too.
This was not the only time something like this happened to Justin. Looking back, there were signs about what was going on with Justin. No one seemed to be paying attention.
It all started when Justin was getting ready to make his way into the music industry. Although Justin was barely a teenager, it was pretty obvious he had the talent to be a worldwide superstar. With how young Justin was when he got into the music industry, he was pretty clueless.
It wasn’t only Justin who was clueless about what he was getting himself into. Justin’s mom also had no idea what really happened in the music industry.
All they knew was that Scooter Braun had just discovered Justin and was willing to sign him to his media group. Scooter was not the only head of this media group; it was a joint venture.
Usher Mentored Justin
This was where Usher came in. Just as Justin got into Atlanta to make a career for himself, Usher came to welcome the 13-year-old Justin and take him under his wing.
Now at the time, not many people could have mentored Justin like Usher would. Usher was already well into his music career, a huge superstar, and also started his career at a young age. Justin’s mom trusted Usher with Justin and returned to Canada to live her own life.
If you are familiar with Diddy’s alleged history with Usher, then you probably have an idea of what was about to happen to Justin. Whatever you think happened to Justin is nothing close to what supposedly happened.
Justin was staying with Usher and was later introduced to Diddy. This was when things started going downhill fast. For some reason, Usher thought it would be a good idea to enroll Justin in Diddy’s flavor camp.
Diddy and Justin had a staycation for 48 hours at Diddy’s place. That was when Diddy allegedly started doing more than mentoring Justin if you know what I mean.
There is also a viral video from the end of their staycation where Diddy promised Justin a Lamborghini parked in his house. At the time, Justin wasn’t old enough to learn how to drive. That’s not even the end because, in that same video, Diddy also promised Justin a house.
Diddy Tried to Buy Justin’s Trust
With everything that has happened, everyone thinks that Diddy was trying to get Justin very comfortable with him by buying him gifts. Once Diddy had that trust, he was going to use Justin to satisfy himself if you know what I mean.
Allegedly this wouldn’t be the first time Diddy would be doing this. Just days after Justin had gotten his driver’s license, he was spotted in a Lamborghini that looked exactly like the one Diddy had promised him.
Things were only going to get worse for Justin. Since Justin was with Diddy a lot, Diddy introduced him to alcohol at a young age.
There are pictures of Justin partying with what looks like a water bottle in his hand, but the liquid inside is definitely not colorless. With how Justin acted at those parties, you could tell he was under the influence.
Then things got even worse when Justin got hooked on other substances too. It got so bad that Justin was acting out in public.
Basically, everyone was hating on Justin at this point. Looking back, most of Justin’s actions could have been a cry for help. It doesn’t look like anyone was listening.
Justin Couldn’t Escape Diddy
Even when Justin tried to get away, Diddy found a way back into his life. At this point, Justin was on tour and wanted his team to keep him away from Diddy. Allegedly, Justin was afraid of Diddy and what he was making him do.
It was so bad that it was affecting him mentally and even physically. Somehow Diddy caught up to Justin and from the video, you could see Justin shaking. He could barely get the words out of his mouth.
Diddy was asking Justin why they weren’t hanging out like they used to. I mean with what’s been revealed about Diddy so far, it’s easy to see why Justin wouldn’t want to hang out with him.
Also, why would a full-grown man ask a teenager why he’s not coming around anymore? It is all types of wrong.
Do you want to know where Usher was while all this was happening to Justin? Well, Usher was always coincidentally not around to help Justin with what he was dealing with.
Which is crazy considering Usher is all too familiar with Diddy’s flavor camp. He led Justin right into the lion’s den and had no issue sitting back to watch.
Now, with how the case against Diddy is going, Justin might have something to say eventually. If he does, it’s going to be one for the books.
The whole thing is seriously messy, so let’s not waste any time and dive straight into it.
What Truly Happened the Night of the Shooting Involving Diddy & JLo?
In December 1999, Diddy and Jamal “Shyne” Barrow were together at a club in New York when Diddy got into a heated argument with some guys.
The full context of the argument was never revealed, but we do know that it got pretty serious.
Because out of nowhere, all three guys involved took out their weapons.
And before anyone knew what was happening, three shots were fired and three people were hit.
Now, according to the witnesses that were at the club, it was Diddy and Shyne who pulled the triggers that day.
But even though Diddy was arrested for weapon possession and bribing his driver to claim that the firearms were his, at the end of the day, it was Shyne who took the fall for everything and ended up getting sentenced to 10 years behind bars.
And just like that, the whole incident got kind of buried – that is until now.
Natania Reuben Confirmed That Diddy Pulled the Trigger
Not too long ago, one of the victims, Natania Reuben, came forward to claim that we’ve all had the story wrong this entire time.
According to her, the person who pulled the trigger on her and the two other victims that night was Diddy and not Shyne.
To prove that she wasn’t saying all of this for clout, she explained how she was more than willing to undergo surgery to get some parts of the bullet out of her face just so they could test it against the weapons that were taken from Diddy that night.
She said this despite knowing fully well that this would be a risky process that she might not make it out of.
JLo and Diddy Arrested
Anyway, if you’re wondering where JLo falls into all of this, here’s the deal.
Back when this happened, she and Diddy were still a thing.
And she was there at the club when it all went down.
She was even one of the people who were arrested by the cops.
But she got released almost as quickly as she was arrested because they had no case against her while Diddy, on the other hand, walked away after his trial.
Now, with this whole thing starting to resurface again, JLo’s actions that night are starting to get questioned.
What did she see?
Was she just an observer in the crowd?
Or was she one of the perpetrators?
With Diddy allegedly promising to out everyone he’s ever been involved with because of how he’s been ghosted due to all the allegations being made against him, a lot of people now seem to think that JLo’s real role that night is about to be exposed.
And when it IS exposed, it might just change the way everyone sees her.
JLo has always tried to position herself as your friendly girl next door.
Why Did JLo and Diddy Breakup?
And getting involved with Diddy back when she did might just be the biggest mistake she’s ever made.
JLo and Diddy met right when she was preparing for the release of her debut album which he, of course, helped her to produce.
According to JLo, he was sort of like a mentor to her back then because he knew much more about the industry that she was trying to break into.
So it’s easy to see why she fell for him the way that she did.
Diddy and JLo went on to date for two years before breaking up in 2001.
They actually broke up because of something that Diddy did.
According to JLo, he cheated on her.
And because of that, she just couldn’t stay in the relationship.
She said that Diddy cheating on her was the first time she had ever been cheated on in a relationship.
Although she didn’t technically catch him in the act, she just knew that was what he was up to as she explained that he’d often go clubbing for a couple of hours and then wouldn’t bother coming back.
And whenever she’d ask about his whereabouts, he’d just give her a LOT of excuses that made no sense.
So she had no choice but to leave when she did – but not before getting tied to Diddy’s 1999 incident.
Diddy’s Countless Law Troubles
Although JLo has stayed out of trouble for the most part since that happened, the same can’t exactly be said about Diddy.
If anything, he gets into trouble more often than he doesn’t.
And even if we ignore everything that’s happened in the last couple of months, it still doesn’t look great for Diddy.
The 1999 shooting wasn’t even his first major slip-up.
Back in 1991, he was involved in a horrible incident that claimed the lives of several people.
According to Rolling Stone, back then, Diddy had promoted a celebrity basketball game and concert at City College of New York.
Nine people lost their lives and 29 more were injured.
But there’s more.
The 1995 Diddy Shooting
Diddy was also involved in another shooting in 1995.
Back then, he, Suge Knight, Jake Robles, and some other guys were celebrating Jermaine Dupri’s birthday at Platinum City Club.
But then, an argument started out of nowhere between members of Diddy and Suge’s record labels.
The argument got so heated that the then-Fulton County Sheriff Deputy Chris Howard had to get involved to make sure things didn’t get too messy between the two groups.
Unfortunately, the very thing that he was trying to prevent was precisely what ended up happening.
According to Chris, while he was escorting Diddy and his guests out of the area so that Suge and his party could leave, one of Diddy’s guys came out of nowhere, right when Jake Robles was about to get into his limo.
The guy in question had a firearm.
Chris tried chasing him to get the weapon.
But he gave it to someone else who used it on Jake, who then lost his life after weeks of fighting for it in the hospital.
Diddy Denies Accusations
Now, Diddy denied being involved in this whole thing, which didn’t exactly come as a surprise to anyone.
He always tries to deny any accusations against him, even if there is evidence proving that he might not be so innocent.
So why would he accept any blame this time around, when it was pretty clear that he wasn’t the person who pulled the trigger?
That being said, some suspect that he might have been the person who gave the instruction for the trigger to be pulled.
Suge apparently thought the same thing.
And word around the street is that this was the very reason why the friendship between him and Diddy got ruined.
JLo and Diddy’s Relationship
Now, another relationship that might be about to get ruined is Diddy’s relationship with JLo.
It just depends on what else comes out about what happened that night in December 1999.
Jennifer Lopez and Sean Combs first crossed paths in the mid-1990s when Jennifer was beginning to cement her place in the entertainment industry.
At the time, Diddy was already a well-established figure in the music industry, known for his work with Bad Boy Records, which he founded in 1993.
Their relationship officially started in 1999, during a period when JLo was working on her debut album, “On the 6,” and Diddy was producing for a host of other artists.
Their relationship blossomed under the intense scrutiny of the public and media.
Both being prominent figures, their every move was closely watched, and they quickly became a staple of tabloid fodder.
They made numerous public appearances together, from red carpets to industry events, each time drawing significant media attention.
One of the most iconic moments of their relationship came during the 2000 Grammy Awards, where Jennifer wore a green Versace dress that was so striking it is credited with leading to the creation of Google Images.
Diddy was by her side, and their appearance became one of the night’s most talked-about moments.
However, their relationship was not without its challenges.
JLo and Diddy’s 1999 Shooting Incident
In December 1999, the couple was involved in a shooting incident at a New York City nightclub.
While they were both unharmed, the event led to legal issues for Diddy, who faced charges of weapon possession and bribery.
JLo was also arrested but was quickly released, and charges against her were dropped.
This incident put a significant strain on their relationship, with JLo later citing it as a source of immense stress and media pressure.
In 2001, after nearly two and a half years together, JLo and Diddy decided to end their relationship.
Both cited the enormous media pressure and the nightclub shooting incident’s aftermath as factors in their breakup.
Despite the split, they have both spoken positively about each other in the years following their relationship.
JLo has referred to Diddy as a great lover and a friend, and Diddy has often expressed admiration for JLo’s talent and drive.
Diddy and JLo’s Profound Impact on Each Other’s Careers
The relationship had a profound impact on both JLo and Combs’ careers.
For JLo, the relationship and its associated drama heightened her profile and cemented her status as a tabloid fixture, which paradoxically helped her career.
It kept her in the public eye and helped her music and film careers gain additional traction.
For Combs, the relationship with JLo also helped to elevate his status beyond the music industry into a broader celebrity sphere.
It opened up new avenues in fashion and other business ventures, where he has continued to make a significant impact.
In reflecting on their time together, both JLo and Diddy have shown a mature perspective on their past, acknowledging both the good and challenging aspects of their relationship.
They have moved on to other relationships and successes but remain influential figures in the entertainment industry.
JLo and Diddy’s Breakup
After their breakup in 2001, the saga of JLo and Diddy continued to captivate the public and media, albeit in a different light.
Their post-breakup interactions, comments about each other, and their subsequent romantic endeavors added layers of intrigue and gossip to their storied past.
Initially, the breakup appeared amicable, with both parties citing the pressures of media scrutiny and their intense schedules as reasons for the split.
However, the waters were never truly calm when it came to JLo and Diddy.
The media often speculated about lingering feelings, especially given their occasionally flirty exchanges at events and through the press.
For instance, in various interviews following their split, Diddy often praised JLo’s talents and influence.
He famously mentioned in more than one interview that he regretted losing her and referred to JLo as “the one that got away,” which fueled rumors that Diddy hadn’t fully moved on.
JLo, on her part, while more reserved, acknowledged the profound impact the relationship had on her life and career.
JLo and Diddy’s Romantic Rebounds
The gossip columns had a field day tracking their romantic rebounds.
JLo’s whirlwind romance and subsequent marriage to dancer Cris Judd in 2001, mere months after her split from Diddy, raised eyebrows and had people speculating if she was on a rebound spree.
Meanwhile, Diddy’s relationships, particularly with singer Cassie years later, also grabbed headlines, but the shadow of his high-profile relationship with JLo loomed large.
Professionally, both continued to excel and occasionally, their paths crossed in the spheres of music and fashion, leading to speculative whispers among their fans and the media about potential collaborations or confrontations.
For instance, when they both attended the same award shows or parties, all eyes were on their interactions—were they cordial, distant, or was there a hidden spark?
The media often played up any possible tension, with reports of behind-the-scenes drama at events.
JLo and Diddy’s Storied Past
Tabloids speculated about how they navigated shared social spaces, particularly how their new partners reacted to their storied past.
For example, there were rumors of a chilly reception between JLo and Diddy at a charity event, where insiders claimed the air was thick with unspoken words and past regrets.
Both JLo and Diddy occasionally seemed to reference their past relationship in their creative outputs.
JLo’s music often touched on themes of love and resilience, which many fans speculated were nods to her complex personal life, including her time with Diddy.
Diddy’s works, too, hinted at lost love and the trials of living in the public eye, adding layers to their post-breakup narrative.
Years later, the legacy of their relationship continues to intrigue and spark conversations about celebrity culture and the personal cost of living life under the relentless gaze of the public eye.
Every now and then, a new interview or a retrospective on early 2000s pop culture stirs the pot, bringing JLo and Diddy’s story back into the spotlight, much to the delight of gossip enthusiasts and fans alike.
In sum, the post-breakup relationship between JLo and Diddy remains a tantalizing mix of respect, nostalgia, and the inevitable “what-ifs” that come with such a high-profile pairing.
Their ongoing saga serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with celebrity relationships and the complex interplay between personal lives and public personas.
After their breakup in 2001, JLo and Diddy both ventured into relationships that often grabbed headlines for their dramatic and sometimes tumultuous nature.
While neither has exclusively had toxic relationships, their journeys through personal connections post-breakup reflect complex dynamics and challenges that are frequently magnified by their celebrity status.
Following her split from Diddy, JLo’s personal life remained under intense scrutiny.
JLo’s Multiple Relationships and Marriages
She married Cris Judd, a backup dancer she met while filming the music video for “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” in September 2001.
The marriage was short-lived, however, ending in divorce by June 2002. The rapid progression from marriage to divorce fed into a narrative of a rebound that lacked a stable foundation.
JLo’s most publicized relationship after her marriage to Judd was with actor Ben Affleck.
Dubbed “Bennifer,” this relationship was the fodder for countless media stories, primarily due to the blending of Hollywood and music celebrities.
Their engagement in 2002 was marked by intense media attention, which both cited as a contributing factor to the postponement of their 2003 wedding and eventual split in 2004.
JLo has noted the public’s intrusion as overwhelming, attributing it to the stress and ultimate demise of their relationship.
In 2004, JLo married singer Marc Anthony, and while this relationship lasted significantly longer, the pair announced their separation in 2011.
Their relationship, although fruitful in collaborations and raising their twins, was reportedly marred by arguments and conflicting schedules.
Reports suggested that the divorce was contentious, involving custody disputes and disagreements over financial arrangements.
Diddy’s post-JLo love life has also been complex and at times contentious.
Diddy’s Multiple Relationships
His long-term relationship with Kimberly Porter, which spanned over a decade and included a break when he dated JLo, was marked by highs and lows.
Diddy has openly expressed his regret over not marrying Kim Porter, reflecting on it as a missed opportunity for stability.
Another significant relationship was with singer Cassie, which lasted from the late 2000s until 2018.
This relationship was reportedly riddled with issues, including a highly publicized police incident in 2016 where Cassie’s mother called the cops after a domestic argument.
Although no charges were filed at the time, the event highlighted the volatility underlying their dynamic.
Their on-and-off relationship was punctuated by breakups rumored to be caused by Diddy’s infidelity and commitment issues.
Media Attention and Impact on Celebrity Lives and Relationships
The personal lives of JLo and Diddy illustrate how celebrity can exacerbate the natural complications of relationships.
Constant media attention, the pressure of public scrutiny, and the blending of personal and professional lives can create a breeding ground for toxic dynamics.
Each relationship’s breakdown under the celebrity spotlight often seemed to follow a pattern where external pressures and internal disagreements collided dramatically.
Both celebrities have reflected on their past relationships with a mix of candor and insight.
JLo and Diddy’s Take on Love and Regrets
JLo has often spoken about her journey through love, expressing that each relationship taught her valuable lessons about love, self-worth, and resilience.
Diddy, similarly, has taken to social media and interviews to express regrets and realizations about his personal life, particularly his failures in committing to relationships that mattered most.
The ongoing public interest in JLo and Diddy’s romantic lives speaks to a broader cultural fascination with celebrity relationships.
Their histories offer a window into how intense scrutiny and the pressure to maintain a public image can lead to personal turmoil.
Moreover, their experiences have opened up discussions on the nature of love and commitment in the high-stakes environment of celebrity culture.
The post-breakup relationships of JLo and Diddy are as telling as they are turbulent.
While not all were toxic, the challenges they faced highlighted the complexities of dating in the limelight, where every move is scrutinized, and every decision can become tabloid material.
These stories, while offering gossip-worthy moments, also provide deeper insights into the personal costs of fame and the often Herculean task of maintaining personal relationships while under constant public watch.
Diddy and Cassie Ventura’s Relationship
But arguably Diddy’s relationship with Cassie was much more toxic and tumultuous than whatever came out publicly about his relationship with JLo.
Sean “Diddy” Combs and Cassie Ventura’s relationship lasted over a decade and was frequently in the spotlight due to both parties’ celebrity status.
The dynamics of their relationship, from its inception around 2006 until its conclusion in 2018, offer insights into the complexities and challenges that can emerge in long-term relationships, especially under the scrutiny of the public eye.
Diddy and Cassie met when she was signed to his music label, Bad Boy Records, after her breakout hit “Me & U” in 2006.
The relationship reportedly began as a professional one, with Diddy overseeing her music career.
Over time, it transitioned into a romantic relationship.
This shift from a professional to a personal relationship set the stage for complex power dynamics due to Diddy’s dual role as both boyfriend and boss.
This imbalance possibly laid the groundwork for some of the issues that would later emerge.
For years, the couple kept their relationship relatively private, rarely speaking about it publicly.
This secrecy did not keep them out of the tabloids, however, and speculation was constant.
The need for secrecy can sometimes be indicative of underlying issues in a relationship, such as fear of external judgment or internal uncertainties.
In their case, it often seemed linked to the complex professional ties and the significant age difference between them.
Diddy and Cassie’s Domestic Argument
One of the most publicized incidents in their relationship occurred in 2016 when police were called to their home following a domestic argument.
Reports indicated that Cassie had decided to end the relationship, leading to an escalated argument that concluded with Cassie’s mother calling the police.
No charges were filed, but the event highlighted the volatility and tension in their relationship.
Further adding to the narrative of an unhealthy relationship were rumors and reports of infidelity and control.
Diddy was occasionally seen in public with other women, which fueled rumors of infidelity that reportedly affected Cassie deeply.
Additionally, there were reports from insiders and sources close to the couple that suggested Diddy exerted a controlling influence over many aspects of Cassie’s life, including her career and personal decisions.
Their relationship officially ended in 2018.
Shortly after their breakup, Cassie moved on and eventually married Alex Fine, a fitness trainer, with whom she has children.
Diddy Publicly Expressed Regret
The quick move to a new relationship and family life might suggest Cassie’s readiness to close the chapter on what was reportedly a fraught relationship with Diddy.
Following the breakup, Diddy publicly expressed regret about how things ended and showcased moments of reflection on his behavior in relationships.
His posts and interviews post-breakup hinted at a recognition of his own possible failings in his romantic life.
The relationship between Diddy and Cassie showcases several hallmarks of an unhealthy relationship.
Initially Diddy’s professional authority over Cassie set a foundation for unequal power distribution.
The need to hide the relationship can be indicative of underlying issues, either from external pressures or internal dissatisfaction.
Allegations and perceptions of controlling behavior can lead to a toxic environment.
Real or perceived infidelity undermines trust and mutual respect in a relationship.
The story of Diddy and Cassie’s relationship serves as a reminder of the complexities of dating in the public eye and the added pressures that celebrity status can bring to personal relationships.
It highlights the importance of maintaining healthy boundaries, equal power dynamics, and open communication to foster a supportive and healthy relationship environment.
Their relationship, with its challenges and ultimate dissolution, reflects broader themes relevant to understanding relationship dynamics in a highly scrutinized public space.

The child custody battle between Teyana Taylor and her ex Iman Shumpert has seen a fresh war of words. This time, Teyana has taken shots at Iman and his new alleged girlfriend for “confusing” their kids.
TMZ recently obtained court documents showing how the legal battle is developing. One filing from several weeks ago reportedly shows Teyana’s lawyer asking the court to call in a child psychologist. This was said to give an expert opinion on how the presence of Iman’s new woman was affecting the kids.
When the former power couple’s daughters were staying with Iman during his parenting weekend, someone Iman described as his “friend” was also staying at the house. TMZ reported that Teyana knew this because she saw the mystery woman’s daughter and heard the woman during a FaceTime call.
Teyana’s legal team has asserted that their oldest daughter was “confused” after seeing her dad sharing his bed with the unknown woman. It was also claimed that Iman told his daughter that his “friend” was staying with them because her home was “broken.”
Teyana claimed that the woman and her daughter later accompanied Iman and their kids at SkyZone. According to the Daily Mail, Taylor told the court that Iman did not need to have the woman around during the rare time he gets to spend with his kids.
Right now, Iman looks after daughters Junie and Rue every other weekend, plus a handful of Fridays. Teyana alleged that her estranged husband “doesn’t actually realize the impact that him being seen with another woman” has on the kids. This is reportedly why she wants to bring in a child psychologist for an expert opinion.
Iman Has Failed to Pay Child Support
The Mail also reported that Teyana has asked for a financial expert to testify in their divorce proceedings. She has claimed that the former NBA star has withdrawn nearly $4 million from their shared bank accounts. These are just the latest in a string of allegations Teyana has made about Iman’s recent actions.
She also accused him of switching off the utilities in her Atlanta home where she looks after the girls. Teyana stated that in January her cable, internet, and even water were turned off in the house.
She alleged that Iman has not paid any child support other than school tuition since moving out in October. Iman left Atlanta and returned to his hometown of Chicago.
Teyana said that before they separated, the ex-couple started home renovations which included fixing a security gate on the house. Teyana claimed that Iman has not followed through on a promise to pay for around $200,000 worth of renovations.
With so much still to sort out following their divorce, the last thing Teyana needs is a new woman involved.

After weeks of gossip, Teyana Taylor has finally responded to the rumors about her getting cozy with Leonardo DiCaprio. The chatter around her and Leo went crazy after they were spotted looking pretty flirty during an Oscars pre-party in March.
As reported first on The Jasmine Brand, the A-list actor was seen with one hand wrapped around Teyana’s waist. Many outlets reported seeing the pair continuing an intimate conversation with each other as the party went on, and not paying attention to anyone else.
Fans first started paying attention to what was going on with Teyana and Leo after they started working together on the latest Paul Thomas Anderson movie. They have been filming together in Sacramento, California.
The video of the two enjoying each other’s company at the party soon went viral. But during a recent interview on E! News’ The Rundown, Teyana took the opportunity to put the story to bed.
She explained what was really going on as they chatted at the pre-party. She made it clear that any intimate-looking behavior people had observed between them was totally platonic.
Teyana said, “Leo wore extensions for the movie and they were hurting him. I was literally helping him with his bun.” She added, “And if you’ve seen the end of the video, I said something about cornbread because my chef was cooking for the whole cast.”
She then concluded that everyone was doing what they could to keep Leo happy, saying, “We gotta make sure his bun is right. We gotta make sure he’s eating good.
Teyana Is Making Her Directorial Debut
Other than keeping his wardrobe on point for the movie, Teyana has made it clear that she has only sisterly affection for the 49-year-old Oscar winner. Teyana told The Rundown, “He is like the best. He will cheerlead for you all the way through.”
It could be that Teyana has looked to the experienced filmmaker for advice as she will soon embark on some of the most ambitious projects of her career. Teyana is currently preparing to make her directorial debut on the big screen.
She revealed in her interview, “I just got greenlit to direct my first feature film called Get Lite featuring the incredible Storm Reid. So I’m very, very excited about that.”
Teyana was making sure she was fully appreciating this exciting point in her career, adding, “A lot of good things are happening.” It’s great to see that after a tough 2023 which included splitting from her husband Iman Shumpert, Teyana is now looking forward to new horizons.
Fans are worried about Britney Spears after she was caught in an intense fight with her boyfriend, Paul Soliz. Late Wednesday night, Britney and Paul arrived at the Chateau Marmont after some partying.
According to TMZ, the couple entered a hotel room at around 11 PM. All seemed well at first until the sound of screaming came from their room.
At some point during their drinking and partying, their fight turned into a shouting match. The fight allegedly turned physical, with Britney seeming to have an injured leg.
She left the room and started screaming in the hallway. Hotel workers said that she was completely out of control. When the employees attempted to calm her down, they said that she started threatening them.
The commotion got the attention of other guests, who came out of their rooms to see what was going on. Despite everyone’s attempts to calm her down, Britney continued to scream.
Britney was also completely barefoot. She came out of the room wrapped only in a blanket, holding a pillow to her leg.
Britney Refused to Go to the Hospital
Thinking that she might be having a mental breakdown, the guests decided to call the police and paramedics. When the police arrived, things had quieted down, so they left shortly after. The paramedics arrived later at 12:30 AM to find Britney walking out of the hotel in nothing but the blanket, pillow, and a few underclothes.
Now, the details here get a little murky. Some guests said that they called the paramedics to report Britney’s mental breakdown. Others said they called the paramedics because she was injured.
Either way, Britney wasn’t interested in going with the paramedics to the hospital. She left the hotel with her security team. Even more interestingly, she left without her boyfriend.
Though the paramedics didn’t see any life-threatening wounds on her, they did notice that it looked as though she had been crying. Her knees also had abrasions on them, but she was able to walk on her own.
CNN later reported that Britney had made it home safe and sound. A source close to the star said she had gone home safely after a massive fight with her boyfriend at the hotel. Both parties have yet to disclose the reason behind the big fight.
In a twist, Britney posted an Instagram message just before the big fight happened. It foreshadowed what was to come later that night.
According to her post, which The Daily Mail shared, there are several photos circulating that claim to be her. However, they aren’t her; they’re body doubles.
Britney Insists That the Woman Was a Body Double
Now, if this is true, then that makes the fight and incident even more confusing. Is Paul dating one of her body doubles? Did she and Paul have an actual fight, where she used one of her body doubles to escape the situation?
Britney said in the message that the news was fake and that the woman in the photos was a body double.
She also said that most of the photos circulating that put her in a bad light are also body doubles. Britney expected people to know that, in most cases, it’s not really her in those pictures.
Her message turned into a rant from there, saying that she would like some respect at this time and that she was growing stronger every day. Oddly, she also said that the truth sucks. She hoped someone might be able to help teach her how to lie.
Her rant continues when Britney began to list things she needed like a new toothbrush and an espresso. She also admitted that she wasn’t sure why she was sharing all this information with everyone, but it was likely because she was on her period.
Whether it really was a body double or Britney is just looking for an excuse for her behavior, is still up for debate. Even her relationship status with Paul is also up for debate.
When the two were first seen together, there was a lot of speculation that this was Britney’s new man. She squashed those rumors during an Instagram video where she was dancing, saying that she enjoyed being single.
That said, other sources were saying that the two were together. The truth of their relationship status became even muddier when others said they had a short fling, but were no longer together.
Paul Has a Criminal History
Now, Paul isn’t the greatest guy. He has several felonies attached to his name, with one of the more worrying being endangering a child. He also received a felony for possessing a firearm.
The two met after he was hired to do maintenance at Britney’s home. Britney claimed that she had no idea about his criminal past when she hired him or when they got together.
When the news broke about his criminal past, she cut all communication with him. Or, at least, that’s what she said.
If that’s really Britney in the photos, and let’s be honest, it probably is, then she hasn’t exactly cut all communication like she said she did. That said, their relationship could be as simple as relying on each other for booty calls.
The hotel incident may have been a booty call gone wrong. Maybe Britney discovered something about Paul that she didn’t like.
Britney Doesn’t Like When Paul Leaves the House
An insider also told US Weekly that Paul regularly stayed at Britney’s house. However, it wasn’t enough for Britney.
Paul works full-time and has kids from a prior relationship. He isn’t always available for her, and that bothers her. She doesn’t like it when he leaves the house.
Britney thinks that she deserves more attention, but Paul has family obligations, too. Perhaps their big fight had to do with his lack of time for her.
Maybe, but Paul has talked with US Weekly about how great she gets along with his kids. During an interview with US Weekly, Paul said that Britney had a strong connection with one of his younger children. He said that they had just clicked from the start.
Paul is also aware that his criminal past makes some people think he’s a bad guy. He went on the record to clarify that just because he made some mistakes in the past, that didn’t make him a bad man.
Besides child endangerment, he also has charges of driving without a license and disturbing the peace. Paul pled no contest to those charges and wound up with two years probation and spending 90 days in jail.
He said that he wasn’t a bad dude, but he knew how having a criminal past made him look. He said that he’s just a working man who runs his own business.
Britney Was in a Legal Battle With Her Father
Now, while all this drama is happening with her maybe-boyfriend, Britney is also celebrating a settlement with her dad, Jamie Spears. Long after the court struck down the Conservatorship placed on her by her father, there were still ongoing financial issues that needed tying up.
There was a hearing scheduled to hammer out those details. The hearing, itself, likely would have been very revealing for all parties. To avoid potentially embarrassing information from getting out, the two managed to reach a settlement.
The problem was that Jamie wanted Britney to pay for his lawyer’s fees. Britney’s lawyers claimed that he had already benefited enough from her hard work over the decades. As her conservator, he was in charge of her money and made sure to pay himself, and his lawyers, over the years.
The conservatorship was initially put in place after she appeared to have a mental breakdown in 2008. However, details of what happened during her conservatorship showed that her father had mismanaged her money to stuff his own pockets. During her testimony for the hearing to end the conservatorship, Britney claimed that everything as small as a coffee purchase was under surveillance and approved.
With the final loose ends now tied up, both Britney and her father are happy it’s over so they can move on. While some of Britney’s struggles are finally over, it seems others are sprouting up in their place.
An IMDB report published on April 27th asked the shocking question, “Is Little People Big World over for good?” According to IMDB, Matt Roloff has supposedly explained what is really going on since a recent episode of LPBW “left viewers on a cliffhanger.”
Now, it seems like Zach and Tori Roloff aren’t just saying goodbye to LPBW. The reality show may have suffered a brutal collapse, and the Roloff family might be falling apart completely.
Zach and Tori dropped their bombshell in February. On April 23rd, People Magazine reported that Matt and Amy’s son and his wife had “said farewell” to LPBW on their podcast, ‘Raising Heights.’
It’s been an extremely popular reality show on TLC since 2006 and has been running for 25 seasons. But is Episode 10 of season 25 really a goodbye to “tens of millions of [LPBW] viewers,” as IMDB claims?
Episode 10 aired on April 23rd. The shock value started with the episode’s title, which asked, “Time to Move On?” Divorced spouses Matt and Amy Roloff reflected on their “past and their time” on the show, and it sounded suspiciously like a “sendoff.”
Zach and Matt Remain at Odds
People reported plenty of “family drama” between Zach and Matt during Episode 10, as the father and son “remained at odds” over the sale of the Roloff family farm. The episode also showed Amy on a lunch date with her second husband, Chris Marek, and the couple revealed a whole lot more than just small talk.
Chris asked Amy if there was any hope that Matt and Zach would end their feud. Amy claimed she was “in the dark” about how the feud started. Shockingly, People wrote that Matt and Zach’s relationship is “fractured,” while Amy seems to agree that their relationship has “changed forever.”
Thankfully, Amy revealed in a confessional that her relationship with all of her children and grandchildren is “intact.” Another People Magazine report confirmed that Amy and Chris are “friendly” with Matt and his fiance, Caryn Chandler.
But Zach set the record straight in a shocking confessional during the episode. While Zach claimed “no one’s holding grudges,” he also confessed “there’s not much of a relationship” between him and Matt.
Zach explained that the ship had sailed, and he and Matt were “just doing our own thing.” Shockingly, even if their relationship does heal with time, Zach thinks it will always “be different” between him and his father.
Matt spoke to Caryn, Amy, and Chris at the end of Episode 10. He understood that Zach and Tori wanted to “isolate themselves to give themselves space,” but Matt also said, “We’re two years into it.” He confessed how heartbreaking it is when “you don’t get to see your grandkids.”
Fans are wondering if Matt was shading Zach when he claimed that “somebody can’t seem to find healing” or “build a bridge.” If this is truly the end of LPBW, Matt seems to be looking to future possibilities.
Matt Wants the Show to Continue
IMBD mentioned that Matt Roloff’s explanation was the subject of a Monsters and Critics report, also published on April 27th. This report confirmed that Matt is “no longer under contract with TLC” and that “he and the rest of the cast have officially fulfilled their filming obligations.”
Monsters and Critics reported how Matt wanted to shed “some light on the future of LPBW.” He chose a recent Facebook post to explain “everything in detail.”
Matt answered a “common question” he received: Was Episode 10 on April 23rd the “Season” or “Series” finale of LPBW? His opinion is that TLC didn’t “announce” whether LPBW is ending for the season—or for good—because there could “maybe” be “look-back special shows in the works.”
Episode 11 of LPBW is listed on IMDB under Season 25. The episode “Big Love” aired on April 30th and was a “look back at the lives of the Roloffs” from the beginning to today. Could that be what Matt was talking about?
Matt doesn’t seem to want to believe LPBW could be over. He even brought up all the times that TLC has “teased” they’d be canceling the show and how it still continued on.
Even though all of the OG Roloff kids have “walked away from filming,” Matt claims that TLC is “holding off” on saying LPBW is over because viewers “enjoy watching the drama play out between the castmates.” Matt wrote on Facebook, “Viewers want relationship drama and then resolutions.”
That’s kind of a crazy way to live his life, but Matt seems to genuinely want LPBW to continue. He even thinks that “specials and spinoffs” are a possibility, although “nobody really knows at this point.” Matt concluded his Facebook confession: “I hate saying goodbye, only see ya later!”

Raven Wales-Walden, who worked as a nanny for Diddy’s children, accused him of firing her for a ridiculous reason. In a startling lawsuit filed against him, she claimed that he terminated her employment with him because she was pregnant.
So what exactly happened with Raven’s firing, as well as her lawsuit against Diddy? The details surrounding their insane court battle and the real reason she lost her job are honestly crazy.
According to TMZ, Raven filed a lawsuit against Diddy in September 2022. In her filing, she used the pseudonym ‘Jane Doe’ and explained that she had formerly worked as a nanny for Diddy’s children. However, she accused him of wrongfully terminating her employment.
Raven claimed that she had originally been hired in September 2018 as an assistant to the late Kim Porter. When Kim passed away, Diddy asked Raven to start working as a full-time nanny for Jessie and D’Lila, the twin daughters he and Kim had welcomed in 2006.
But that wasn’t all. What he wanted her to do next was seriously surprising. In Raven’s filing, she wrote that Diddy asked her to move into his house so that it would be easier for her to take care of D’Lila and Jessie. She agreed to move in, but she had no idea what living under Diddy’s roof would really entail.
When Diddy asked Raven to work as a full-time nanny, she thought she’d be responsible for caring for his daughters for 40 hours a week, or maybe a little bit more. But she said in her lawsuit that he actually expected her to be on the job around the clock. Raven revealed that she ended up taking care of Jessie and D’Lila 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Raven Was Fired Before Her Maternity Leave
According to Radar Online, in August 2020, Raven told Diddy that she was expecting a baby and would eventually need to take maternity leave. She claimed that he got extremely angry and ultimately fired her in January 2021, before her leave began.
But what she discovered shortly after she was let go was honestly mind-blowing. Raven claimed that after she was fired, a third party told her the real reason Diddy had terminated her. He reportedly believed that Raven wasn’t “a good example for his daughters,” because she wasn’t married when she became pregnant.
In her wrongful termination lawsuit, Raven accused Diddy of discriminating against her pregnancy as well.
The amount of money she was seeking in damages from him wasn’t specified. Apparently, Diddy suspected that’s all Raven was after in the first place.
When Diddy spoke out about Raven’s lawsuit against him, he said it was a “meritless shakedown.” He also claimed that her sole intention was to manipulate the truth to get a massive payout from him.
At the time, many online reports claimed that the unnamed woman who filed the lawsuit was the niece of the late Kim Porter. But according to Radar Online, when Diddy responded to the wrongful termination accusations, he also exposed some identifying details about Raven.
Diddy denied that the ‘anonymous woman’ was Kim’s niece. He then revealed that her first name was Raven.
Raven Was Allegedly Only Part-Time
He also attempted to shut down the allegations she’d made in her lawsuit by having his rep share his side of the story. His account was completely different than Raven’s.
Diddy said that Raven had just been Jessie and D’Lila’s babysitter. He stated that she only worked part-time, not around the clock as she claimed.
He also made himself sound so gracious for allowing her to continue working for the family after Kim passed away. Diddy explained that he wanted to provide some constancy for the twins after their mother’s passing. This was why he offered Raven the role of their “part-time babysitter.”
In the statement released by Diddy’s rep, it was revealed that Diddy supposedly never asked Raven to move in. He claimed that she had actually made the request and asked for her son to move in as well.
What reportedly happened next was seriously bizarre. Diddy’s rep said that even though it wasn’t necessary, Diddy allowed Raven and her son to live under his roof. He even allegedly “treated them like family.”
Then, he mentioned that her role as D’Lila and Jessie’s babysitter was never meant to be a permanent position. Diddy’s rep explained that Raven supposedly knew all along that her job as the twin’s babysitter was intended to be temporary. He added that Jessie and D’Lila were getting to the age where they would be at school for the majority of the day anyway, so there really was no need for Raven to continue staying at the house all day.
Raven Had Filed Under the Name “Jane Doe”
According to Radar Online, in March 2023, the court battle between Diddy and Raven got even more intense. She had been using the pseudonym ‘Jane Doe’ throughout the case, but that was about to change.
Diddy requested that the court require Raven to reveal her actual name and stop allowing her to be listed under a pseudonym in her lawsuit.
Raven begged the judge overseeing their legal fight to allow her name to remain anonymous. Raven claimed that Diddy’s demand that her name be disclosed was just his attempt to retaliate against her for filing her lawsuit. She said that as a result, she and her underage son would most likely end up being subjected to victim shaming from Diddy’s fans as well.
Raven also revealed that after Diddy initially fired her, she begged him for her job back. She explained that he had allegedly promised that he would continue providing her and her son with health insurance, which she added was “much-needed” at the time.
However, Raven claimed that Diddy went back on his word. Both she and her child were left without any health insurance. But what happened next was honestly unreal.
Later that same month, Radar Onlinereported that the judge decided to rule in Diddy’s favor, at least in his request for Raven’s name to be released. Apparently, she had used her real name in a formal complaint that she’d filed with the Department of Fair Education and Housing. The court felt that she should use her legal name in her lawsuit as well.
The Lawsuit Was Eventually Dropped
According to The Source, in April 2023, Raven amended her lawsuit to include her real name. She added that even though she wasn’t legally Kim’s niece, she had a close bond with Kim before she passed. She explained that she had played a very significant role in Jessie and D’Lila’s lives as well.
Diddy clearly didn’t feel any sympathy for her, based on what he did the following month.
In May 2023, Radar Onlinerevealed that Diddy asked the judge to completely dismiss Raven’s lawsuit against him. According to paperwork obtained by the outlet, he also said that the real reason Raven’s position had been terminated was totally different from what she had alleged.
Diddy claimed that he actually fired Raven because she simply hadn’t carried out the duties of her job. He explained that she had reportedly failed to “conduct herself in accordance with the standards and policies” of his business.
Diddy added that his decision to terminate Raven was made “in good faith” and was in no way discriminatory. He said that he had paid her for multiple days that he never should have owed her any compensation for because she hadn’t been performing her work responsibilities.
Even though the lawsuit wasn’t dismissed right away, as Diddy requested, it was eventually dropped in a very unexpected way. According to MyNewsLA, at the beginning of April 2024, Raven’s lawyer asked the judge to dismiss her filing “with prejudice.” This meant that it technically could never be brought to court again.
However, the court documents obtained by the outlet didn’t clarify whether Raven and Diddy had privately reached a financial settlement. Her reasons for wanting the lawsuit dropped altogether also weren’t specified in the paperwork. Unfortunately, unless Raven decides to publicly speak out, we might never know what actually happened.
