Diddy In Drug and Domestic Violence Therapy While Awaiting Sentencing
Sean 'Diddy' Combs is taking proactive steps toward rehabilitation as he awaits sentencing for charges related to prostitution. The music mogul, currently in federal custody, has enrolled in multiple self-improvement programs aimed at addressing his history of drug use and domestic violence.
Sources close to the situation tell TMZ that Diddy is participating in the STOP Program, a federal initiative designed to prevent sexual assault, domestic violence, and dating violence. Additionally, he is undergoing therapy through the Dr. Harry K. Wexler drug abuse program, which focuses on substance abuse rehabilitation.
Insiders describe Diddy's efforts as a 'path toward redemption,' with the artist reportedly committed to bettering himself. However, some skeptics suggest that his participation in these programs may be a strategic move to demonstrate rehabilitation ahead of his sentencing, scheduled for October 3. It is not uncommon for convicted individuals to engage in such programs to show judges their commitment to change.

Diddy's legal troubles stem from a federal trial that included testimony about his alleged domestic abuse and drug use, including substances like Molly. While he was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges, the jury found him guilty on two lesser charges related to prostitution. Federal prosecutors have recommended a four-year sentence, but the final decision rests with Judge Arun Subramanian.
Interestingly, Diddy reportedly began drug treatment before his arrest last year and has continued his efforts while incarcerated. This timeline could bolster his case for leniency, as it demonstrates a longer-term commitment to addressing his issues.
The developments mark a significant chapter in the life of the hip-hop icon, who has faced both legal and public scrutiny in recent years. Whether his efforts will influence the court's decision remains to be seen, but for now, Diddy appears focused on self-improvement and rehabilitation.

Coldplay returns to the stage with a warning: ‘We're going to use our cameras'
Coldplay returned to the stage for the first time since a viral 'Kiss Cam' incident at one of their concerts made global headlines and prompted the resignation of a tech CEO. While the band did not directly acknowledge the controversy, frontman Chris Martin gave a tongue-in-cheek nod to the episode during their performance at Camp Randall Stadium in Wisconsin on Saturday, July 19. 'We'd like to say hello to some of you in the crowd,' Martin told the cheering audience during the now-infamous 'Jumbotron Song' portion of the concert, according to a clip shared on social media. 'How we're going to do that is we're going to use our cameras and put some of you on the big screen.' He added, 'So please, if you haven't done your makeup, do your makeup now.' The remark comes just days after a show at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., on Wednesday, July 1, where a couple's panicked reaction to being shown on the venue's Jumbotron ignited an online firestorm. The woman quickly turned away, and the man ducked out of view as the camera landed on them. 'Oh, look at these two! Oh what? Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy,' Martin said to the crowd at the time. The man was later identified as Andy Byron, then CEO of data company Astronomer. Byron resigned on Saturday, July 19, following days of Internet scrutiny and his placement on leave. Byron had served as CEO of the company since 2023. He has two children with his wife, educator Megan Kerrigan Byron. Astronomer, in a statement, cited the importance of leadership accountability and maintaining company values. The woman in the video, identified in some reports as Kristin Cabot, the firm's chief human resources officer, has reportedly also been placed on leave. While Coldplay has not issued a formal statement, the band's Instagram recap of the Madison show omitted any reference to the incident.

Victoria Beckham Shares Husband David's 'Terrible' DIY Haircut
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. Last year, a clip from the Beckhams' Netflix documentary went viral after David Beckham was filmed chiding his wife Victoria to "be honest" after she claimed her family was working class despite her dad driving a Rolls-Royce. Now it appears she has gotten her own payback. On Sunday, the former Spice Girl, 51, shared a video on Instagram of David holding his head in his hands. "What have you done?" she asked, off-screen, while the former England football captain looked decidedly sheepish.

Victoria then repeats her question, while already beginning to laugh. "You tried to give yourself a haircut. What have you done?" she asks. The 50-year-old former football reluctantly peeled his hand away from his head revealing a sizeable iron-shaped bald spot. "It's not funny," David protested, shaking his head as Victoria burst out laughing. "It does not look good," she added, before reminding her husband what he has told her about being "honest" in the past. "I'm going to always be honest with you, it looks terrible," she said. Proving he has a good sense of humor about his wife's ribbing, David later shared the clip on his own Instagram page, with a caption directed at Victoria. "You don't always need to BE THAT HONEST."

Instagram The Beckhams' documentary, titled, Beckham, went on to win an Emmy for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series in 2024. The director, Fisher Stevens, later said in an interview that he was "p***ed" with David for interrupting his interview with Victoria in that now-viral moment. Beckham editor Michael Harte agreed, saying what happened "totally flipped the scene on its head," but that it was "one of the most honest scenes" in the four-part special. "You get a true insight into their relationship and the way they interact," Harte said, but suggested the biggest challenge was where to include the "incredible" interaction. David previously spoke about the incident that became a viral meme to The Hollywood Reporter, confirming Stevens was "very angry with me over that."
