Accusers slam Sean 'Diddy' Combs' plan to counsel abusers, call it 'mockery of the system'
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' plan sparks anger
Diddy's recent proposal to work as a counsellor for domestic abusers has sparked outrage among his accusers. According to Rolling Stone, they believe the music mogul needs serious therapy himself, not a platform to guide others.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces up to 20 years in prison
Last month, Diddy was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges but was found guilty on two counts of 'transportation to engage in prostitution.' He faces up to 20 years in prison and has already been denied bail several times over public safety concerns.
His sentencing is set for October 3.
Douglas Wigdor, attorney for Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura—who testified against him—called the idea of him counselling abusers 'utterly preposterous.' Another alleged survivor described it as 'manipulation at its best,' adding, 'It's a mockery of the system and of everyone he's hurt. He needs intensive therapy.'
Despite the possibility of a long sentence, Diddy remains hopeful. His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, said the rapper wants to get back to making music in his studio. However, industry insiders told RadarOnline that it's unrealistic to think he can simply walk out of prison and return to the music and business world he once dominated.

Nivin Pauly and Nayanthara reunite after six years for ‘Dear Students'; Teaser promises a fun mix of comedy, action and drama
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Malayalam cinema fans have reason to rejoice — Nivin Pauly and Nayanthara are back together on screen after their 2019 hit 'Love Action Drama'. Their new film, 'Dear Students', written and directed by George Philip Roy and Sandeep Kumar, has just dropped its first teaser, and it's already sparking excitement. Nivin as Hari and Nayanthara in cop role The one-minute clip hints at a story that weaves together school life, personal relationships, and plenty of action. Nivin plays Hari, a restaurateur with a flair for humour, while Nayanthara slips into the uniform of a police officer. The pairing is set to deliver a mix of light-hearted banter and high-energy sequences — a blend that worked wonders for them six years ago. Dear Students - Official Teaser | Nayanthara | Nivin Pauly | George Philip Roy | Sandeep Kumar A teaser full of wit and twists The teaser opens with Hari telling Nayanthara's character that he serves everything from spicy to mild, Mexican to Lebanese, showing off his playful charm. When she says she wants to discuss something personal, he lights up — only for her to sarcastically invite him to sit on her lap when he flirts. The teaser also introduces a group of schoolchildren whose connection to the main story is kept under wraps. The teaser closes with a surprise which is a character revealing that Hari and Nayanthara are police, leaving Hari utterly stunned. Big cast, bigger expectations 'Dear Students' boasts an ensemble cast including Aju Varghese, Sharafudheen, Suresh Krishna, Mallika Sukumaran, Lal, Jagadish, Johny Antony, Nandu, Reddin Kingsley, and Shaju Sreedhar. Cinematography is by Anand C. Chandran and Shinos, music by Justin Varghese and Sibi Mathew Alex, and editing by Lal Krishna. On the other hand, Nivin Pauly is yet to make a good comeback after a series of underwhelming movies. Nayanthara's previous outing was the thriller 'Test' which had received decent reviews from the viewers.

It all began as Disha Patani 's sister Khushboo Patani reacted to Aniruddhacharaya Maharaj's viral clip. In this video, he said, "Ladke laate hain 25 saal ki ladkiyon ko, jo 4-5 jagah mooh maar ke aati hain," as he spoke about live-in relationships these days. Khushboo expressed anger towards his choice of words, thus questioning him why his remark targeted only women in live-in relationships and not men who choose the same before getting married. Amidst this ongoing discussion and debate, Kangana Ranaut has opened up on this and revealed why marriages are important. "Court says now that live-in relationships are as good as marriage. Court yehi kehta hai ke agar aap mahila ke saath sambandh rakhte hai toh aapko usko as wife samajhna padega. Yeh saare kanoon woman-friendly hi toh hai." She added, "Aaj kal log live-in relationships ke baare mein baat karte hai. But I feel marriages are very important in our society, and it is the promise that a man makes to stay loyal to his wife. I have been in relationships, and I have seen other people who indulge in such things, but I can assure you that these are not women-friendly things." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: New Container Houses (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search Ads Search Now Undo The actress cryptically addressed Khushboo's reaction on Aniruddhacharaya Maharaj and said, "Aap santon ko gaaliyan de rahe hai, it's a cancel culture. But like an elder sister I want to say, that live-in is not a woman friendly concept." She also said, "Who's going to help you get an abortion? If you get pregnant tomorrow during a live-in relationship, who is going to take care of you? Men are hunters who can impregnate any woman and run away. No matter how much we empower ourselves or educate ourselves with books and surveys, scientifically speaking, men can compartmentalise and women can't.' Kangana explained further, "People say men are from Mars, Women are from Venus and we can be modern. But scientifically, there have been surveys. Men were asked about the list of things they would admire about women as a girlfriend and as a wife. They had different lists. But women has the same list for boyfriend and husband."

Kangana Ranaut slams dating apps, calls them the 'the real gutter of our society': 'Every woman or man has needs but...'
Actor and politician Kangana Ranaut recently criticised dating apps and the people who use them, calling them 'the real gutter of our society.' She said looking for a partner on such platforms is a 'low' thing to do. Kangana on dating apps In an interview with Hauterrfly, Kangana said she has never wanted to be on dating apps, calling them the true gutter of our society. She further added, "Everybody has a need, be it financial, physical, or anything else... Every woman and man have needs, but how do we address them? That is the question. Do we do it elegantly, or do we do it more crudely, like har raat nikal jaana (leaving home every night) in search of someone? That is what dating is now, and it's a horrible situation. " People using dating apps The actress said she believes most regular people wouldn't want to be on dating apps. According to her, these platforms attract those who desire validation and lack confidence. She added that she couldn't imagine interacting with people who use such apps. Finding partners the traditional way The 'Gangster' actress encouraged people to look for meaningful relationships in more traditional settings, such as workplaces, colleges, or through arranged matches by family. 'You won't find people like me on dating apps. You'll only find losers there, the people who haven't achieved anything in their lives,' she said. 'If you haven't been able to meet anyone in the office, through your parents and relatives, and you've ended up on a dating app, imagine what sort of character you are.' Marriage vs Live-in Relationships She also spoke in favour of marriage, calling it an important that represents a man's promise to remain loyal to his wife. She criticised the growing trend of live-in relationships, saying that in her experience, both personal and from observing others, such arrangements are not supportive or beneficial for women. "Who's going to help you get an abortion? If you get pregnant tomorrow during a live-in relationship, who is going to take care of you? Men are hunters who can impregnate any woman and run away," she stated. Gender Differences She remarked that, in her view, men are able to compartmentalise their emotions while women generally cannot, regardless of education or empowerment. On the Work Front She was last seen in 'Emergency', portraying former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Released in January, the film received negative to mixed reviews and performed poorly at the box office.
