Thanks for your comments. You’re all raising questions that many are quietly thinking, especially given how some names—like Hillary, Obama, and Swift—appeared in early pre-release rumors and images, but are now missing from any official or confirmed lists.
But here’s where I stand: this case is finally heading to court this year, and that’s the moment when we need to take the information as seriously as it deserves to be taken—because that’s when due process takes over. Diddy will have the legal obligation to respond, and more importantly, the right to defend himself.
I believe in the justice system—not because it’s perfect, but because the effort to honor its process is the right thing to do 100% of the time. Even in high-profile failures, like the OJ case, the principle of due process still matters. Rushing to judgment without legal accountability weakens the entire system.
For me, a perfect example is Jaguar Wright. I found her statements fascinating at first—she’s someone who appeared to be an industry insider, connected to people who could know the truth. But when the legal pressure came, she backed off. She didn’t stand firm when lawyers got involved. That tells me a lot.
So I’ll continue to follow the actual court proceedings. And I’ll update the article if and when credible, verifiable evidence is presented. Until then, we owe it to both the victims and the accused to let the truth come out the right way.
I recall that in the Diddy associates list pre release days, there were pictures of Hillary, Obama, Swift, and others who have disappeared from any “official” listing. Why? Why the absence of discussion about the minor children used in Diddy’s filthy sex extravaganzas? Did “list” persons attend this event?
Taylor Swift is an A-Lister who Diddy knows very well and also omitted? Now why is that?
can i be invited to p diddys next party plz
my insta is jstok86
