A Siberian husky named Gronk has left internet users in stitches after hilariously rejecting his owner's request for affection in a TikTok video.
In the clip, shared in May under the username @grettandgronk, the poster can be heard asking Gronk "can I have a hug?" repeatedly, but instead of responding with enthusiasm, the unimpressed husky takes off running the opposite direction.
"POV [point of view]: your husky thinks you are too clingy," reads layover text in the clip. "Does anyone else's dog do this too?!" the poster adds in the caption.
Siberian huskies are known for being smart, and have been used throughout history for important missions. During World War II, "the U.S. Army used Siberian sled dogs for Arctic search and rescue of downed pilots and cargo," says the American Kennel Club (AKC).
In 1925, the breed also managed to bring lifesaving serum to Nome, Alaska, from 600 miles away, to fight a local diphtheria epidemic.
Despite looking intimidating, Siberians are actually a very friendly breed. However, they are also highly energetic and extremely athletic, which can sometimes make it challenging to keep them as pets, especially when they try to run off leash.
Another trait Siberians are famous for is being very vocal and talkative. That's because of their pack animals roots, which meant they had to use vocal communication as a means of survival.
Sometimes, they will howl along with other sounds like crying babies or police sirens, and when they are alone they may howl for their owners to come back. Often they howl to express how they are feeling too.
While there are countless videos all over social media showing how good huskies are at imitating human speech and even talking back to their owners, the AKC says that like all other dogs, they are not using real words, just similar sounds.

The video quickly went viral on TikTok and it has so far received over 10,800 views and 1,171 likes on the platform.
One user, Furqan Rizwan6, commented: "My husky does this all the time and I always wonder why she runs away sometimes when I try to pet her."
Katiie.walker said: "My husky does the same thing. She gets upset at me for crying. One time I thought she was coming over to comfort me but she hit me in the face."
Jose M Vasquez added: "Welcome to fatherhood. mine gets mad when I hug him when hes napping but when I come back from the gym and he sees me, he wants to the hug. NAH HOMIE KEEP THAT ENERGY!"

Why Addison Rae Took a Step Back from Social Media: 'I Felt So Misunderstood'
Addison Rae is opening up about why she's taken a step back from social media The "Headphones On" singer shared that she's learned to value her privacy following her rise to fame on TikTok "Being misunderstood is definitely annoying and it does get on my nerves sometimes," she saidAddison Rae is taking a step back from social media. During a recent appearance on Therapuss with Jake Shane, the 24-year-old singer opened up about why she's stopped sharing so much of herself on social media platforms, following her rise to fame as a dancer on TikTok. "I felt so misunderstood," she shared of her time on social media, "but I was sharing so much." "Sometimes you do what you need to do to get where you want to go," she continued. "I wasn't showing every part of myself, as one mostly doesn't, you know. There are elements of yourself that surely you don't share online that aren't bad — they just aren't things you're willing to share or talk about or, you know, show." Rae shared that over the course of her young career, she realized that having a sense of privacy is one of the most important things to her. "I think privacy becomes really important over time," she continued. "Like, 'OK, what can I allow people access to that isn't going to hurt me? Or they're not going to use to make me feel conflicted in my own life decisions that I have to make?'" "Being misunderstood is definitely annoying and it does get on my nerves sometimes, but I think over time, I've realized that if somebody's commenting that 'I'm not this' [or] 'This is not who I am.' ... Or when I was 19 I was more authentic," the "Headphones On" singer added. "I'm like, okay, well, I just moved to LA. I'm like, geez. I was from a small town, of course I didn't experience a lot of things or have the opportunity to even figure out who I was in those those ways," she continued. "Because it was life whenever you grow up in a small town." In another part of her conversation with Shane, Rae also shared she's applying the idea of "slowing things down" or taking a step back when it comes to other parts of her life so she can avoid feeling "too exposed." "It happens very frequently with a lot of artists," she shared. "They feel like they're too exposed or they need to pull back or, you know, they're too scared to get overdone or feel like you're too in front of everybody's face and that people will get tired of you." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "But I feel like with projects that are delayed or a little bit later or make you wait, it's almost like, 'Okay, not everything has to be now.' And I can feel comfort in the fact that something's coming and not so pressured to make something happen now." Rae most recently released her self-titled debut LP Addison on June 6. During an interview on Quen Blackwell's YouTube series Feeding Starving Celebrities, she opened up about the wide range of topics that the record covers — which influenced its simple name. Rae thought about self-titling the album "for a really long time," noting, "when you do hear all of the music like straight through, there's not really a title that like encompasses all of it." "Everybody that I played it to as well they were just like, 'Oh it just sounds like just like you. Like it just sounds like music you would make,'" she recalled. 'I don't really know what else to call it and so I was like, 'Maybe then the album is just my name.'" Read the original article on People

10 more West Virginian books that were turned into movies — Part 2
CLARKSBURG, (WBOY) — Even after our first list of West Virginia authors who had their books turned into movies, there are still more books written by West Virginian authors that weren't included the first time around. So, for anyone looking for a movie to watch or a book to read, here are 10 more adaptations that have roots in West Virginia. Special thanks to the many 12 News readers who contributed to this list — if you know of a book written by a West Virginian that has been adapted to film, you can email the author of this article at sgorski2@ Adapted from the book of the same name, 'The Bridge at Remagen' focuses on a pivotal battle during the tail end of World War II in the spring of 1945, where Allied forces captured one of the last remaining bridges spanning the Rhine River, allowing them to cross into the heart of German territory. Although the book's author, Ken Hechler, was born in New York, he attended Marshall University and lived in Huntington for many years, eventually becoming a West Virginia Congressman in 1959. According to an interview with the National Archives, Hechler was stationed with the First Army in Command of the III Corps at the time of the battle at Remagen, about 10 miles away. As a combat historian, Hechler interviewed many troops involved and published his own book detailing the battle in 1957, which was adapted to film in 1969. Filming for the movie began in 1968 in Czechoslovakia, a country behind the 'Iron Curtain.' According to the American Film Institute (AFI), much of the military equipment seen in the film was loaned by the Austrian and Czech governments, including tanks, explosives, weapons and even Nazi uniforms. Three city squares in the town of Most had already been planned for demolition prior to filming, and their destruction was used in action scenes during production. Ironically, work on the movie was interrupted by the repercussions of the very war it was looking to portray. On Aug. 20, 1968, Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia, causing the film's cast and crew to hastily evacuate to other European countries, leaving behind hundreds of thousands, if not over a million dollars worth of film equipment in Soviet controlled territory. Despite this, some of the film's equipment was eventually recovered, and the world premiere for 'The Bridge at Remagen' was held on June 25, 1968 at the Keith-Albee Theatre in Huntington, West Virginia. According to the AFI, the premiere was attended by Hechler as well as Brig. Gen. (Ret.) William M. Hoge, who commanded the armored division that captured the Remagen Bridge during World War II. While 'Feast of the Seven Fishes' is much better known as a movie, the story originated as a comic strip in November 2005 and was written by Fairmont native Robert Tinnell and illustrated by Alex Saviuk. Both the movie and comic are a distillation of Italian Christmas traditions, particularly in areas like north central West Virginia. The movie was filmed in Fairmont and can be watched on Peacock and Amazon Prime. Feast of the Seven Fishes: How the Marion County holiday movie came to be Pearl S. Buck, who was born in Hillsboro, West Virginia, is a prolific author and the first American woman to win both a Pulitzer and a Nobel prize. Though born in West Virginia, Buck lived in China during her childhood, which she drew on heavily for her later writing. 'The Good Earth' novel was first published in 1931 and tells the story of a Chinese farmer and his wife as their life is uprooted by a flood. The book was critically acclaimed upon release and became one of Buck's best-known works. It was only the first of many books written by the author that would later be adapted to the big screen. Jeannette Walls' memoir 'The Glass Castle' was a #1 New York Times bestseller and tells the true story of Walls' tumultuous and nomadic upbringing, with a large part of the book taking place in West Virginia. The film adaptation of the book was released in 2017, starring Brie Larson as Jeannette Walls, Woody Harrelson as Walls' father Rex, and Naomi Watts as Walls' mother Rose Mary. The movie turned into a moderate box office success with a worldwide gross of around $22M and an estimated budget of $9M according to IMDB. Another best-selling Pearl S. Buck novel that was adapted into a movie, 'Dragon Seed' is also set in China and tells the story of a Chinese village invaded by Japanese soldiers during World War II. The lead role of 'Jade Tan' is played by Katherine Hepburn, who leads the resistance against the Japanese occupation. 'China Sky' is another movie adaptation of a Buck book, and as the title indicates, it too is set in China during World War II. However, according to descriptions of the movie and viewer reviews, 'China Sky' is less about the wider conflict and instead uses it as a backdrop for a love triangle between Dr. Gray Thompson (played by Randolph Scott), Dr. Sara Durand (Ruth Warrick) and Louise Thompson (Ellen Drew). At just one hour and 18 minutes long, 'China Sky' is also the shortest Pearl S. Buck movie by a large margin. 'Blaze' follows the story of Blaze Starr, a burlesque dancer born in Wilsondale, West Virginia, under the name Fannie Belle Fleming, and her controversial love affair with Louisiana governor Earl Long. The movie was adapted from a biography written by Huey Perry, a Mingo County native, and stars Paul Newman as Earl Long and Lolita Davidovich as Blaze Starr. Blaze Star also cameoed in the film and is credited for playing the role 'Lily' on IMDB. Hardcover copies of 'Blaze Starr: My Life as Told to Huey Perry' can still be purchased online today, and Perry even gave a talk on his published works at the West Virginia Archives in 2016. Another Buck book, 'The Big Wave,' focuses on a tidal wave and the lasting impact it has on a coastal Japanese village and the people who live there. Set during the Chinese Civil War in 1949, 'Satan Never Sleeps,' tells the story of two Catholic priests as they are targeted by the local communist party, and stars William Holden, Clifton Webb, and France Nuyen, who plays Siu Lan, a love interest for Holden's character. Starring William Dafoe, 'Pavilion of Women' is another drama romance set in China, adapted from Buck's book of the same name. The movie takes place shortly before the beginning of World War II as a Chinese family comes to grips with changes in tradition and the rise of communism in China. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, attended the Sean "Diddy" Combs trial on Friday as the fifth week of proceedings came to an end. When asked by reporters if he was there to support Combs, Ye nodded and replied, "Yes." Court officials told Newsweek that he was in the courtroom for a total of 10 minutes. Ye has previously voiced support from Combs, posting "Free Puff" on X following Combs' arrest. Combs has previously utilized "Puff" as his stage name. In March, Ye released a new song called "Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine" that appears to feature a phone conversation with Combs. Ye announced the song in a post on X, which has since been deleted. He said the song features Combs and his son, Ye's daughter North West and new artist Jasmine Williams.

Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, leaves federal court during the trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs in New York, Friday, June 13, 2025. AP Photo/Michael R. Sisak The trial, which is roughly at the halfway point, has featured testimony from celebrities, Combs' ex-girlfriends, former employees, law enforcement and more. When did the Diddy trial begin? Combs' trial began with opening statements on May 12. Charges against Diddy explained Combs is facing federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Who has testified at the Diddy trial? Israel Florez The first witness called to the stand was Israel Florez, who worked as a security officer at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles in 2016. Jurors saw surveillance footage of a 2016 incident at the hotel where Combs physically abused his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Florez said he received a report of a woman in distress. He found Combs and Ventura near the elevators on the sixth floor of the hotel. "The best way I can describe it is like a devilish stare. He was just looking at me," Florez said, referring to Combs. He said Ventura had a "purple eye." Florez said Combs offered him money, which he rejected. "He was pretty much holding like a stack of money," Florez said. "He was pretty much telling me, like, 'Hey, take care of this, don't tell nobody,' pretty much." Daniel Phillip Daniel Phillip is a male escort who said he was paid $6,000 to participate in sexual encounters with Ventura and Combs. He alleged that he saw Combs throw a bottle at Ventura and drag her across the floor. "Mr. Combs came out of the room, and I just saw a bottle fly past her and hit the wall," Phillip said. "He grabbed her by her hair, and started dragging her by her hair into her bedroom." Phillip said he did not report the incident to police because Combs had "unlimited power." "Chances are that even if I did go to the police, that I might still end up losing my life," Phillip said. Cassie Ventura Ventura, a key witness for the prosecution, dated Combs from 2007 to 2018. She testified about alleged incidents of physical, emotional and sexual abuse she endured during their relationship over multiple days on the witness stand. "There were violent arguments that would usually result in some sort of physical abuse," Ventura said. "Dragging, different things of that nature." She said she was sometimes kicked, stomped on and slapped simply for making the "wrong face." Ventura testified about the 2016 incident caught on surveillance video. "I chose to leave," Ventura said. "I got out and Sean followed me into the hallway, and grabbed me, shoved me to the ground, kicked me and dragged me back to the room and took my stuff." Ventura testified about "freak offs," drug-fueled sexual encounters with male prostitutes. She said she would try to get them to move faster by performing the sexual acts as fast as she could. "I felt pretty horrible about myself," Ventura said. "I was disgusted." She alleged that Combs raped her in 2018. She said she cried during the incident, but Combs did not stop. "I can't carry this anymore, the shame, the guilt, what's right is right and what's wrong is wrong," Ventura said. Yasmin Binda Yasmin Binda, a federal agent with Homeland Security Investigations, testified about the search conducted at Combs' hotel room after his September 2024 arrest. Binda said investigators found $9,000 in cash, substances that tested positive for MDMA and ketamine, lubricant and baby oil. Dawn Richard Dawn Richard, a former member of Danity Kane, said she witnessed Combs punch Ventura in the stomach at a restaurant in 2010 while other celebrities were present, including Ne-Yo, Usher and Jimmy Iovine. "She immediately bent over, [Combs] told her to leave," Richard said. "No one intervened." Danity Kane was formed on the reality show Making the Band, which Combs was an executive producer on. Richard said she also saw Combs attack Ventura while she was making eggs at Combs' Los Angeles home. "He came downstairs screaming, belligerent," Richard said. She said Combs grabbed the skillet and tried to hit Ventura with it. Combs then grabbed Ventura's hair and dragged her upstairs, Richard testified. Kerry Morgan Kerry Morgan, Ventura's former best friend, testified on May 19. She said Ventura and Combs were "very much in love," but she recounted several instances of violence between the two. Morgan said that while she was in Jamaica with Combs and Ventura, Combs was "dragging" Ventura by the hair because "she was taking too long" in the bathroom. Morgan alleged that Combs attacked her with a wooden hanger in 2018. "He came up behind me and choked me and left finger marks on my neck and hit me in the head with a wooden hanger," Morgan said. She explained how that incident led to the end of her friendship with Ventura. "The reason I stopped speaking to her was because she was not supportive of me after that incident. I draw my line at physical abuse," Morgan said. David James David James worked as Combs' assistant from 2007 to 2009. James said Ventura told him that Combs controlled her life. "'He controls my career, pays my allowance, and pays my rent,'" she said, according to James' testimony. He also recalled overhearing Combs describing Ventura as "moldable" to a friend. James said he decided to leave the position after a 2008 incident involving record executive Marion Hugh "Suge" Knight Jr. James said a friend of Combs spotted Knight at Mel's Diner in Los Angeles. When the friend informed Combs, Combs grabbed three guns and told James to drive to the diner, James testified. "This was the first time as his assistant that I realized my life was in danger. I told them I want to leave but give six months notice so I could train the next assistant," James said. Regina Ventura Regina Ventura is the mother of Cassie Ventura. Regina said she took out a home equity loan to pay Combs after he threatened to release a sex tape of Cassie. "I was physically sick. I did not understand a lot of it. The sex tapes threw me. I did not know [Combs] but I knew that he was going to try to hurt my daughter," Regina said. Regina said Combs later returned the $20,000 she and her husband sent to him. Sharay Hayes Sharay Hayes, a male escort, testified on May 20. Hayes said he had his first encounter with Combs and Cassie at Trump International Hotel in New York City. Known professionally as "The Punisher," he said he was hired by Combs and Cassie about a dozen times. Hayes said he was paid $1,200 to $2,000 for each encounter. He said that Cassie told him to "create a sexy scene of me and her applying baby oil on each other and create a sexy environment" for Combs to watch. Gerald Gannon Gerald Gannon, a Homeland Security Investigations special agent, testified about the items federal agents found at Combs' residence in Miami. Agents found a wireless sex toy in a primary bedroom closet, Gannon testified. There was also a black Gucci bag filled with drugs, including cocaine and ketamine. In a hallway closet near the primary bedroom, federal agents found 25 bottles of baby oil and 31 bottles of Astroglide lubricant. Gannon showed the jury a .45 caliber handgun and components of an AR-15 to the jury. He testified that agents found firearms with defaced serial numbers. Dawn Hughes Dr. Dawn Hughes, a forensic psychologist, did not interview Combs or the alleged victims in this case, but she testified about some of the reasons why victims stay in abusive relationships. Hughes said that it is common for victims to stay due to psychological bonds and love for their partner. The threat of future violence can make victims "feel trapped." Hughes said the abuse can lead to depression, PTSD and anxiety. George Kaplan George Kaplan worked as Combs' assistant for 15 months. He said he quit the job because he could not continue "fixing" Combs' problems. Kaplan said he once found Cassie crying and bruised in bed. He also alleged that Combs threw apples at another one of his girlfriends. "In my heart of hearts, I knew what was happening, and I felt an element of guilt that I didn't do anything to stop it," Kaplan said. Kid Cudi Scott Mescudi, who utilizes the stage name Kid Cudi, started dating Cassie in 2011. Mescudi testified that he did not realize that Cassie and Combs were still together when they started dating. Mescudi alleged that Combs broke into his house in 2011 after he learned of Cassie and Mescudi's relationship. In 2012, Mescudi's car caught fire in the driveway of his home. Mescudi said he met with Combs after the incident because he "knew he had something to do with it." The defense objected to the statement, and it was stricken from the record. Mescudi said Cassie "played" both Combs and him. "The drama was just getting out of hand," Mescudi said as he spoke about why he broke up with Cassie. Mylah Morales Mylah Morales, a makeup artist, testified about a 2010 incident where Combs allegedly assaulted Cassie in a hotel room. Morales said Combs walked into the room Cassie was in, and she heard "yelling and screaming" before Combs left the room. Morales said the incident left Cassie with a swollen eye, busted lip and "knots on her head." Frédéric Zemmour Frédéric Zemmour, the general manager of L'Ermitage Beverly Hills, said Combs frequently stayed at the hotel. Zemmour read notes the hotel kept on Combs, stating he "always spills candle wax on everything and uses excessive amounts of oil, place rooms out of order upon departure for deep cleaning." Joshua Croft Joshua Croft, a Homeland Security Investigations special agent, testified about the extractions performed on Ventura's electronic devices. Croft said he extracted data from three laptops belonging to Ventura. One included a user profile for Frank Black, an alias frequently used by Combs. Capricorn Clark Capricorn Clark took the stand on May 27. She began working for Combs' record label in 2004 and remained employed by Combs until 2020. Clark alleged that Combs was "furious" when he discovered Mescudi and Cassie's relationship. She said Combs told her to get dressed so they could "go kill" Mescudi. She said Combs had a gun on him. They were unable to find Mescudi at the time, Clark testified. Clark also said that she was subjected to a lie detector test after Combs accused her of stealing jewelry. She said the man administering the test told her she would be thrown into the East River if she failed the test. Chris Ignacio Chris Ignacio, a 16-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, testified about his response to a call about a possible break-in at Mescudi's home in 2011. Ignacio said he saw a Cadillac Escalade in front of the house and memorized the license plate. The jury was shown a DMV report that identified the registered owner of the vehicle as Bad Boy Productions, Inc. Combs is the founder of the record label Bad Boy Records. Ignacio said he went through Mescudi's home and recorded the incident as trespassing. He said he found no apparent stolen property or damage. Lance Jimenez Los Angeles Fire Department arson investigator Lance Jimenez responded to Mescudi's home in 2012. Jimenez said he found a Molotov cocktail in Mescudi's Porsche, but the bottle did not break, which allowed the flame to smolder out and prevented further damage. He said the Porsche had a cut on the convertible roof and burn patterns on the seat and roof. Deonte Nash Deonte Nash worked as Cassie's stylist from around 2009 to 2018. Nash said Combs would call Ventura names and frequently threatened to release her sex tapes or withhold her music from being released. Nash said he witnessed Combs punch and kick Cassie until her head started bleeding. "Mia" A former personal assistant of Combs testified under the pseudonym "Mia." Mia worked for Combs from 2009 to 2017. She described working for Combs as "chaotic" and "toxic" but also exciting at times. "The highs were really high and the lows really low. Puff's mood determined the environment," she said. "He threw things at me, threw me against the wall, threw me in the pool, he threw something against my head. Sexually assaulted me." Mia is one of Combs' alleged victims whose experiences were first introduced to jurors in opening statements. She is considered to be a key witness for prosecutors. Mia testified that she witnessed Combs attack Cassie on multiple occasions, including one incident at Mia's apartment. "It was so fast, but I felt like I was in slow motion," Mia said in testimony that gripped the packed courtroom. "I saw him grab Cass and I couldn't get there fast enough, the bed platform was the sharpest I had ever seen and he threw her and she hit her head on the corner of the bed." Mia said she attempted to jump on Combs' back to stop the beating, but Combs threw her against the wall. She said she has "complex PTSD" following her employment with Combs, which has made her unable to work. Sylvia Oken Sylvia Oken, a Beverly Hills Hotel employee, testified that guests can change the profile name used to make a reservation at the hotel. She said Combs used the aliases "Phillip Pines" and "Frank Black" to book rooms at the property. Eddy Garcia Eddy Garcia worked as the security supervisor at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles in 2016. Combs said he wanted surveillance footage of him assaulting Cassie taken off a server and a copy of the video because it could "ruin his career" if the footage was made public, Garcia testified. Garcia said he then spoke to his supervisor, who agreed to do it for $50,000. Garcia said he signed an NDA, which would charge him $1 million if the agreement was broken. Combs then returned with a brown paper bag containing $100,000, Garcia testified. Garcia said he kept $30,000, then gave $50,000 to his supervisor and $20,000 to another security officer. Derek Ferguson Derek Ferguson, a former CFO for Combs-founded company Bad Boy Entertainment, said he never saw anyone help Combs commit crimes or acts of violence. "He just worked constantly. His passion for what he did was really high so his work ethic and the number of hours that he put in was something that really pushed the entire team," Ferguson said, referring to Combs. Bryana Bongolan Bryana Bongolan, a close friend of Cassie, alleged that Combs held her over the edge of a 17th-floor balcony at Ventura's Los Angeles apartment on or around September 26, 2016. The defense accused Bongolan of lying and introduced hotel records showing that "Frank Black" was booked at Trump International Hotel in New York City from September 24 to September 29 of 2016. Bongolan said she does not remember every detail, but she has "no doubt" that Combs held her over the balcony. Enrique Santos Enrique Santos, a forensic analyst, testified about extracting data from three iPhones belonging to Cassie. "Jane" A woman who dated Combs from 2021 to 2024 testified under the pseudonym "Jane." Jane was asked by the prosecution if she consented to freak-offs with Combs. "I'm still trying to figure that out," Jane said. She is considered a key witness for prosecutors as they attempt to prove the charges against Combs. Jane said she felt obligated to agree to freak-offs because Combs was paying her rent. "I felt this was something I had to do in return," Jane said. Jane said Combs is still paying her rent. Jane said she arranged sexual encounters with two porn stars. When asked by the prosecution if she wanted to have sex with the entertainers, she said no. "I wanted to impress my lover," Jane said. Jane also recalled reading a lawsuit filed by Cassie against Combs in November 2023. She became emotional as she explained that three specific pages in the complaint were a "harrowing reference to what I was experiencing." Andre LeMon Andre LeMon, a Homeland Security Investigations special agent, testified about the raid at Combs' Los Angeles home last year. He said federal agents found 900 bottles of Astroglide and 200 bottles of baby oil. They also found six envelopes with the letter "K" on them, which tested positive for ketamine. LeMon said Combs also had various types of firearms and ammunition at the home. Jonathan Perez Jonathan Perez worked as a personal assistant for Combs from 2021 to 2024. Perez said he would buy drugs for Combs, including cocaine, Xanax and molly. He said Jane did not appear to be an unwilling participant in freak-offs and helped to coordinate them. "I feel great about him, the same way I did when I was leaving my employment," Perez said, referring to Combs. What's Next Combs' trial is expected to last eight to 10 weeks. He is facing life in prison if convicted. Do you have a story that Newsweek should be covering? Do you have any questions about this story? Contact LiveNews@
