Peru clinic that leaked Shakira medical record given hefty fine

France 242 days ago
The 48-year-old four-time Grammy-winning Colombian singer-songwriter was forced to scrap a blockbuster show in Lima in February after being rushed to hospital with an unspecified abdominal ailment.
Two days later, she was back on stage in the Peruvian capital.
Shortly after her brief hospitalization, her medical report appeared on social media, sparking widespread outrage among fans and an official investigation.
The Delgado Auna clinic, where she was treated, said at the time it was investigating what it called a "serious ethical breach of our code of conduct and regulations governing personal data processing."
Shakira is on her first world tour in seven years, titled "Las mujeres ya no lloran" (Women Don't Cry Anymore).

The first Grasse Perfume Week celebrates diversity of the sector

The first Grasse Perfume Week opened on Thursday to showcase Grasse's expertise and the wide diversity of contemporary perfume creation. Until Saturday, conferences, exhibitions, installations, workshops and tours will take place in and around the center of Grasse. Organized by Nez, an olfactory cultural movement created in 2016 around a specialized publishing house, the event is the counterpart to the Paris Perfume Week created last year, prior to an edition in Shanghai in October. "We want to present a panorama of contemporary perfumery, explain what has happened here, what continues to be done and what will be done tomorrow," explained Romain Raimbault, director of Grasse Perfume Week. While major groups are partnering the event and opening their doors in different parts of Grasse, the perfume mecca, the emphasis is on niche perfumers, invited to showcase their creations in a Palais des Congrès quivering with original fragrances. "Thank you for believing in us. This is the beginning of a beautiful story," said the town's mayor, Jérôme Viaud, who had rose-scented misters installed in the pedestrian streets of the town center. Among the many proposals for professionals, enthusiasts and the curious, the Swiss company Luzi will be organizing a screening of the film "Les Parapluies de Cherbourg" on Friday evening, with fragrances created for eight specific scenes, inspired by what the characters eat, images of the set, and atmospheres. In an exhibition, Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, doctor in chemistry turned perfumer, looks back over 20 years of creations, associating each fragrance with the extract that forms its backbone and an evocation of his inspiration. "I don't start with a fictitious human target, like industrialists' cabinets, but with a story," said the perfumer. Corsican cliffs for "Acqua di Scandola", the breath of a horse for "Equistrius", the light of dawn for his bestseller "Le Cri", bringing together "all the most luminous materials" around ambrette seed, or a carpet of weeds for "Mal Aimé", which combines brambles, roots and nettles around an extract of inula. Like all niche perfumers, he has remained small: six employees, with annual sales of just over two million euros, a quarter of which is generated in France and the rest in some forty countries, including Italy and Kuwait. But he invites the public to cultivate their "olfactory curiosity" so as not to be satisfied with the "consensual notes" of the sector's big successes: "Big brands, small brands, it doesn't matter.

Celebrity reactions to split Diddy verdict: ‘I'm gonna vomit'

Sean 'Diddy' Combs was convicted yesterday of a prostitution-related offense but acquitted of more serious counts that could have put him behind bars for life. Combs, 55, could still face a maximum of 10 years in prison. He was denied bail after being convicted, as prosecutors said Combs remains a flight risk. A hearing has been set by the judge for 8 July to discuss the sentencing process. The verdict has drawn divided reactions by his fellow celebrities. 'Oh, this makes me physically ill,' said singer Aubrey O'Day, formerly of the music group Danity Kane, on her Instagram story as she watched the verdicts come in. "Cassie probably feels so horrible. I'm gonna vomit.' Danity Kane formed on Combs' MTV reality television program 'Making the Band' and signed to his Bad Boy Records. O'Day posted a separate statement: 'The cultural weight of this decision is immeasurable. It is heartbreaking to witness how many lives have been impacted by their experiences with Sean Combs - only for those stories to fall short in the eyes of a jury." She added: "I can only hope these jurors never have to watch someone they love endure what so many survivors have described.' Une publication partagée par Rosie O'Donnell (@rosie) 'I guess a jury just never wants to believe that a woman stays because of power and coercion, wow,' wrote actress Rosie O'Donnell on Instagram. 'This decision got me angry.' Grammy-nominated singer Kesha posted the following in solitary with Cassie Ventura, Combs ex-girlfriend who testified as a witness: 'Cassie, I believe you. I love you. Your strength is a beacon for every survivor.' Kesha had previously announced that she was changing the lyric in her 2010 hit 'TiK ToK' to 'fuck P. Diddy' from the original 'feeling like P. Diddy' after the multiple allegations of sexual misconduct were leveled against Combs. Elsewhere, rapper 50 Cent, who has been a vocal critic of Combs and previously said that he would reach out to Donald Trump to prevent a Diddy pardon, posted: "Diddy beat the (RICO charge), that boy a bad man !" alongside an artificial intelligence-generated photo of himself. He also mocked Diddy and compared him to mobster John Gotti. Une publication partagée par 50 Cent (@50cent) Conversely, rapper Boosie BadAzz said in an Instagram video captioned 'GREAT DAY N HIP HOP" that the courts had spoken. 'I'm tired of seeing us Black moguls get took down like that," he said. He added that he was "tired of seeing us Black people go against us Black moguls like that.' Also on Diddy's side where some crowds outside the courthouse. Some of Combs' fans expressed enthusiasm by covering themselves in baby oil, a controversial item referenced throughout the sex-crimes case. Thousands of bottles of baby oil and lubricant were among the paraphernalia discovered during the federal raids of Combs' homes in March 2024. In one crass celebration, a woman danced around while a man poured baby oil on her – a tasteless homage to an activity at Combs' so-called 'freak-offs' and 'hotel nights.' However, the general consensus online is one of dismay. "The verdict for Diddy is a message to all women that they are not believed. Sorry to the women out there," wrote an X user. "The victims especially, they deserved better."

Diddy denied bail after mixed verdict clears him of top charges

Judge Arun Subramanian who presides over Sean Combs', better known as Diddy, sex trafficking and racketeering case has denied the rapper's request for release on bail as he awaits his sentencing hearing which has yet to be scheduled. Subramanian says Combs — for now — had not met the burden of showing by clear and convincing evidence a 'lack of danger to any person or the community.' Diddy dropped to his knees and prayed in the courtroom after he was acquitted on Wednesday of sex trafficking and racketeering, along with another charge, that could have put one of hip-hop's most well-known and celebrated figures behind bars for life. The two serious charges carry a mandatory sentence of 15 years and a maximum of life in prison. The rapper was however convicted of lesser prostitution-related offences. Jurors convicted the hip hop mogul of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution which carry a maximum sentence of 10 years behind bars. The three-time Grammy award winner was convicted of flying people around the country, including his girlfriends and paid male sex workers, to engage in sexual encounters. This violated a 115-year-old federal law called the Mann Act, which originally prohibited the interstate transport of a woman or girl for 'prostitution or debauchery, or for any other immoral purpose." It was later updated to be gender-neutral and for any sexual activity "for which any person can be charged with a criminal offence.' Diddy's legal team however argued that under federal sentencing guidelines, he would likely face about two years in prison. Combs has been jailed since his September arrest, all of which will be credited and deducted from his future sentence. Prosecutors, citing Combs' violence, aggressive tendencies, abusive past and other factors, said the guidelines would call for at least four to five years. A hearing has been set by the judge for 8 July to discuss the sentencing process. Subramanian has proposed 3 October as a date for Diddy's final sentencing. The rapper's defence has requested an expedited decision.
