An explosive new book titled “Kim’s Lost Words” bombarded the entertainment industry, leveling a host of explosive allegations against music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. It reportedly contains a string of diaries belonging to Kim Porter, the late ex-girlfriend of Diddy and mother of three of his children. It contains shocking claims of assault, sexual misconduct, and illegal activities.
But perhaps most disturbing of all, the book also accused Diddy of physically assaulting Kim Porter multiple times. According to the book, the alleged assaults ranged from slapping and punching to full-on death threats. These claims have raised serious questions about Diddy’s character and behavior and have the potential to be devastating to his public image and career.
But, among other salacious allegations, the book also maintains that Diddy secretly recorded himself having anal sex with an 18-year-old male popstar he was managing, and that Porter hatched a plan to discover and copy those tapes. The identity of this popstar has not been publicly revealed, but speculation has run rampant among fans and industry insiders.
Disclaimer: It is here that one should be taking note how seriously hard it is to make concrete assumptions on individuals with loads of lessened evidence. The details coming next are relatively speculative and, because of this, one should take the following with a grain of salt.
Given the timeline and considering Diddy’s influence in the music industry during that time, a number of teenage popstars could fit the bill. Names that had been speculated upon include:
Justin Bieber: the most famous of this crop of teen pop stars at that time, he himself had come under question for his association with Diddy. However, none of the actual evidence could connect Bieber to the specific allegations.
Austin Mahone: This teen pop sensation too enjoyed about the same era of fame as he shared with Diddy a similarly close relationship.
Troye Sivan: Being among the fast-rising luminaries in pop music circles, his name has equally been thrown into speculation.
The book describes parties thrown by Diddy called “Freak Offs,” which included acrobatic sex; were there even male and female participants, including an Oscar-winning actor and his wife. This has not been substantiated as to who the married Oscar winning actor is, but that activity does raise some very serious ethical and legal questions.
The charges against Diddy form part of an alleged sex trafficking and racketeering case that had been levied against him. He has pleaded not guilty to all counts pending against him and is being held in jail without bail. The prosecution’s case is based on interviews with more than 50 victims and witnesses who describe a pattern of abuse and coercion over many years.
Public reactions have varied on these claims, ranging from fans refusing to believe it and standing in support of Diddy to full-on condemnation of the actions, demanding accountability. Even legal experts chimed in with their take on the case, given the strength of evidence against him and the likely fallout for Diddy.
The most important reference to this occasion is that Diddy’s lawyers vigorously denied the charges against him. There are false allegations against me, and I’m innocently standing here, they argued. As the case goes for trial, one can only wait and watch how the defense by Diddy will frame the narrative and if he will be able to clear his name.
