CLUB HORROR Diddy spiked my drink – it felt like I had 50 valium… he wanted me to leave with him but I feared I'd be raped
A FORMER gogo dancer in Ibiza clubland believes she had a narrow escape from the clutches of Sean 'Diddy' Combs – claiming he spiked her drink and made sexual advances.
Belen Ronda Campesino, 45, says she felt so out of it after encountering the now disgraced hip-hip mogul at the club she worked at, that it felt like she had taken '50 Valium tablets'.

Belen worked as a dancer at Ibiza club DC-10
The beautician claims Combs, 55, then tried to drag her to a house party where she fears she might have been raped.
Her story comes after Grammy-winning US rapper Combs was convicted on Wednesday of prostitution charges in his sex-crimes trial in New York.
He was found not guilty of the more serious crimes of racketeering and sex-trafficking but could still face 20 years in prison.
Belen says details from the star's trial — including claims he made two ex-girlfriends have sex with male escorts at drug-fuelled parties referred to as 'freak-offs' — had turned her stomach, made her heart race and given her 'severe anxiety'.
She adds: 'It makes me furious to hear during his trial what he has done to women.
He made sexual advances on me, telling me that he liked me a lot.

'I don't really follow the news but when I saw some pictures of this guy because of his trial I got really nervous.
'I had a similar experience with him to everything that has been coming out now.'
Belen says she encountered Combs in 2006 around the DJ booth at the DC-10 club where she worked.
She recalls: 'It looked like he had taken a lot of drugs, his jaw was totally out of joint.
'He was with four very large bodyguards.

'He made sexual advances on me, telling me that he liked me a lot.'
Belen, who lives in Spain, says things had begun to go south, when Combs bought her a drink.
She adds: 'I saw that when he went to put the wad of cash away he took out a bag with a white powder in it, which I thought was cocaine.
'But he started to do something weird in his pocket and it really bothered me.
'I turned around and was telling a friend, but then I stupidly drank the juice.
'About 10 or 15 minutes later I started feeling dizzy and sleepy and I was sweating heavily.
'I didn't understand what was going on.'
She reveals that she had tried to escape to the VIP area, but he followed her there and tried to get her to a party at his house.

Belen says Combs 'looked like he had taken a lot of drugs'
She says: 'I told him I didn't want to go, that I was not feeling well and needed to go home.
'He squeezed my arm and was pulling on my hand.
'That's when I felt sure they had put something in my drink.
'My friend really wanted to go to the party but I told her we might be raped if we went.'
'Dizzy and sleepy'
She says Combs tried to stop her leaving, but she ran to the bathroom and left the club.
She reveals: 'The next day I slept the whole day.
'People were calling me and ringing my bell at home but I didn't hear anything.
'It was like I had taken 50 Valium tablets.
'Now I realise I had a very lucky escape.'
A party fixer exclusively told The Sun on Sunday last year how Ibiza clubs such as DC-10, Space and Amnesia were Combs' stomping grounds for years.
After the verdicts were read out on Wednesday at his trial, Combs dropped to his knees and made a praying gesture.

But he was denied bail, remains in jail and is expected to be sentenced over his prostitution conviction on October 3.
But due to sentencing guidelines, he is likely to serve less than five years in prison.
A lawyer representing more than 100 alleged victims in civil cases against Combs vowed they would fight on despite the sex-trafficking and racketeering not-guilty verdicts.
Tony Buzbee said: 'Diddy dodged a big bullet today.
'But that doesn't end the saga.'

Trump's order to deploy troops in DC is his latest use of the National Guard in cities
President Donald Trump is bringing in 800 National Guard members to help law enforcement fight crime in Washington, but just 100 to 200 of the troops will be on the city's streets at any given time, the Army said. Trump's directive on Monday for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to activate the National Guard is just the latest example of him sending the Guard into cities to support immigration enforcement or fight crime over the objection of local and state officials. How the National Guard deployment in DC will work According to the Army, Guard troops will be deployed under Title 32, or 'federal-state status' authority. That means the troops can conduct law enforcement activities on the streets of the nation's capital — though, at the moment, that doesn't appear to be the plan. 'Their duties will include an array of tasks from administrative, logistics and physical presence in support of law enforcement,' according to a statement from the Army, to which the District of Columbia National Guard directed all questions. About 500 federal law enforcement officers are being assigned to patrols in Washington, including from the FBI; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; Drug Enforcement Administration; Immigration and Customs Enforcement; and the Marshals Service. Hegseth told reporters that Guard members will be 'flowing into the streets of Washington in the coming week.' He also said the Pentagon was 'prepared to bring in other National Guard units — other specialized units,' though he didn't offer any further details. The timeline for the troop deployment also is vaguely defined. According to Trump's directive, National Guard troops will remain deployed until the president determines 'that conditions of law and order have been restored.' Besides the 800 Guard members, Trump said 'we will bring in the military if it's needed' — seemingly referring to active duty troops in addition to the Guard — but added that 'I don't think we'll need it.' Trump recently sent Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles The deployment of troops to Washington comes after the Pentagon has pulled out the vast majority of the roughly 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 active duty Marines that Trump sent to Los Angeles in late June. Trump argued that the deployment was necessary after his administration's immigration crackdown led to protests throughout the city. Troops were largely tasked with protecting federal buildings and guarding immigration agents as they conducted raids. Hegseth compared plans to send troops into the nation's capital to their deployment to the U.S.-Mexico border and to Los Angeles. 'We will work alongside all D.C. police and federal law enforcement,' Hegseth said. However, California's governor and city officials argued that the LA deployment was unnecessary and went to court to try to fight it. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass told reporters that the National Guard's primary mission had been to guard two buildings that 'frankly didn't need to be guarded.' In addition, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, also a Democrat, has questioned the effectiveness of using the Guard to enforce city laws. 'I just think that's not the most efficient use of our Guard,' she said Sunday on MSNBC's 'The Weekend.' Trump deployed the Guard to Washington in his first term This is also not the first time Trump unilaterally has chosen to use federal forces in the U.S. capital. In 2020, during the protests over the police killing of George Floyd, Trump deployed the National Guard and federal law enforcement to the city, at one point using them to forcibly clear peaceful protesters from a square near the White House so he could stage a photo op. It became a controversial moment in his first administration in part because Gen. Mark Milley, who was then chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, appeared alongside Trump. Some saw Milley's presence as the military's endorsement of using troops against U.S. citizens. Milley later apologized.

DC police share photo of suspected 'Big Balls' attacker who beat up DOGE worker
Police have released photos of a man accused of beating up former DOGE staffer Edward 'Big Balls' Coristine during an attempted carjacking. Coristine, 19, was part of Elon Musk 's army of nerds as it briefly caused havoc in the public service until he quit in June after his boss's falling out with Donald Trump. Trump appears to still have a soft spot for the teenage techie as he shared a photo of Coristine bloodied and bruised after the attack last week. He claimed Coristine was 'very badly hurt' and 'beat up by a bunch of thugs in DC ' and on Sunday used it as a pretense to send the National Guard to the capital. 'We just almost lost a young man, beautiful, handsome guy that got the hell knocked out of him the night before last. I'm going to call him now,' he added. DC Metro Police arrested a boy and a girl, both 15, minutes after the unarmed carjacking attempt and later released two photos of a third suspect. The trio allegedly approached Coristine and someone he was with as they stood next to the car about 3am on August 3, and demanded the keys. Coristine was the only one attacked until cops arrived and the carjackers fled into the night and the two teens, both from Hyattsville, Maryland, were arrested. The third suspect appeared to be a black man with short black hair wearing a surgical mask pulled down to his chin and a grey shirt. Trump used the attack on Coristine to claim DC was a violent city, despite it being nowhere near the top of the country's cities with the highest crime rates. Crime in DC is down seven percent this year with robberies dropping 28 percent and overall violent crime falling 26 percent. Despite this, Trump claimed young people were 'randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent citizens' because they knew they would get released as minors. He described crime in DC, as 'totally out of control,' especially among 'youths,' who were just 14, 15 and 16 years old. 'Either they are going to straighten their act out in terms of government and in terms of protection or we're going to have to federalize and run it the way it's supposed to be run,' he said. Trump likened his plans for DC as similar to his administration's crackdown against immigration at the southern border. 'I'm going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before,' he said while pledging to 'immediately clear out the city's homeless population and take swift action against crime'. 'It's all going to happen very fast, just like the border.' Trump was expected to announce the deployment during a White House press conference on Monday as he pushes for a federal takeover of the city. He already deployed 120 FBI agents to work alongside DC police and other federal law enforcement officers working the night shift in the city. Photos taken late on Sunday night showed several federal authorities working in coordination with one another including the FBI and Border Patrol. In one instance, a man was detained by police along U Street in the capital as FBI and Border Patrol agents assisted. A short distance away Drug Enforcement Agency agents could also be seen standing guard in Dupont Circle.

Palestinian activist killed by settler filmed his shooting, footage shows
Awdah Hathaleen, the prominent Palestinian activist who was killed late last month by an extremist Jewish settler in the West Bank, filmed the moment he was shot, newly released video footage reveals. Hathaleen, who worked on the filming of the Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land, which examined settler violence against the Palestinian community of Masafer Yatta, was killed by Yinon Levi, a settler who was already under sanctions in the UK and EU for violent acts against Palestinians. The footage – released by the Israeli human rights group B'Tselem – appears to offer clear evidence of Levi's direct involvement in the killing of Hathaleen, an English teacher and activist resident in Umm al-Khair in the south Hebron hills, on 28 July, in an incident that sparked international outrage. Levi was arrested over the killing but quickly released by a court after a ruling that the evidence he had fired at Hathaleen had 'weakened'. Levi has denied he fired the shot that killed Hathaleen. However, the footage filmed by Hathaleen himself shows Levi draw his weapon and fire in Hathaleen's direction. Hathaleen is then heard groaning and falling to the ground. Hathaleen was filming settlers operating an earth mover when he was shot. According to witnesses, a confrontation that was taking place between Levi and Palestinian residents became more heated when the digger attempted to approach a fenced-off grove belonging to a Palestinian family, with at least one stone thrown. The footage, filmed from a distance away, shows Levi waving a gun and scuffling with residents as they attempt to block the earth mover. Levi can then be seen taking several steps to his right before raising his gun, aiming it in Hathaleen's direction, and firing. The footage sharply contradicts claims by Levi's lawyer, Avichai Hajbi, that he had been 'forced to fire his weapon into the air' because he felt his life was in danger. Hathaleen's footage is backed up by witness evidence provided to B'Tselem, including by his brother-in-law Alaa Hathaleen, who was present at the time of the killing and is seen in the footage remonstrating with Levi at close quarters and attempting to film the events himself with his phone. 'The settler Yinon Levi arrived,' Alaa Hathaleen told B'Tselem. 'The residents shouted at him, and he drew his gun. I tried to film him pulling out the gun, but he attacked me and grabbed my phone. 'Suddenly, while we were trying to move people away and the excavator was already on the road leading to the settlement, Yinon Levi fired one shot, and then another shot. 'I heard shouts: 'Awdah! Awdah!' I turned around and found my cousin Awdah lying in the public garden of Umm al-Khair's community centre. He was bleeding heavily from the chest and mouth. It turned out he had been shot while filming the events, from about 40 meters away, behind a metal fence we had put up around the garden.' Levi was sanctioned by the UK in 2024, along with others, because he 'used physical aggression, threatened families at gunpoint, and destroyed property as part of a targeted and calculated effort to displace Palestinian communities'. Levi's treatment by the courts since the shooting is in line with a long history of lenient treatment by both the Israeli civilian and military courts of Israelis who kill Palestinians.
