Sean 'Diddy' Combs, son Justin Combs hit with gang-rape lawsuit
A woman has filed a complaint against Sean "Diddy" Combs' son Justin Combs, alleging she was "gang-raped" by Diddy and two other men during a trip to Los Angeles. Tyreke Conerly claims Justin Combs contacted her through Snapchat in March or April 2017, requesting "risque" photos, which she sent. She says Combs, 31, offered to fly the New Orleans resident to LA for a weekend, and promised he could get her a job at Revolt TV, a network his father founded. Instead, Conerly claims she was drugged, "literally held prisoner for a weekend" and "repeatedly raped" by three masked men, including the elder Combs. USA TODAY has reached out to Combs' team for comment. The lawsuit comes amid closing arguments in Combs' federal sex-crimes trial, a closely watched affair attended regularly by many of Combs' children, including Justin. Who are Sean 'Diddy' Combs' kids? These family members attended his sex-crimes trial In the complaint, filed by Tony Buzbee, who is representing a host of other alleged victims accusing Combs of assault, the lawyer claims the music mogul's "penchant for sexual violence is shared by his son." Drawing on an alleged "long history of violence," Buzbee argues that Conerly's story notches cleanly into an established pattern of sexual and physical abuse, allowed for by an unassailable power and influence across industries. Diddy trial updates: Sean Combs' attorney says case is about 'love,' 'jealousy' In the complaint, Conerly alleges she was flown out by Justin Combs to Los Angeles in April 2017, following through on a desire to break into the entertainment industry. After being picked up by a black SUV, she was allegedly taken to a "palatial" venue the younger Combs called "The Glass House." They stayed in the home for two days, and when she asked if they would leave, Justin responded: "No," according to the filing. Diddy trial closing arguments: 'Inner circle, money and influence' concealed crimes After the two consumed several unidentified drugs, according to the complaint, three men in masks entered the home – two who were unrecognizable and one who she understood to be Sean Combs after Justin called him "Pops." Then, she alleges, she was taken to a room where the men took turns raping her both orally and anally after being told: "You better let this happen. Or else." Surviving abuse: Cassie Ventura Fine and the unlikely bond with her mother-in-law The assault continued for over 24 hours, the complaint alleges, after which Conerly was driven back to the airport. Both the possibility of the job – which she never got – and of the unsanctioned release of her intimate photos were held over her head by Justin Combs, she alleges. Buzbee, on Conerly's behalf, is demanding a jury trial and damages. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Diddy, son Justin Combs hit with lawsuit amid trial

Megyn Kelly Slams Obamas' Relationship After Michelle's ‘IMO' Podcast Episode: ‘Married the Wrong People'
Megyn Kelly isn't buying former First Lady Michelle Obama's marriage advice. In response to the first episode of her new 'IMO' podcast (in which Obama spoke about her marriage to former President Barack Obama), Kelly said, 'I think she and he married the wrong people.' Kelly and guest Maureen Callahan, an opinion writer for the Daily Mail, scrutinized Obama's assertion, 'If the odds were you're going to be married to your partner for 50 years and 10 of those years could be bad, you know? You'd sign up for it, you know? And that's really how it works out.' Michelle and Barack Obama married in 1992. 'Is it, Michelle? I've been married for 17-and-a-half years and not one was bad. I think she and he married the wrong people,' Kelly said. Callahan agreed and added that she doesn't believe the former First Lady speaks of her husband positively. 'This is only her third episode. I can't think of anybody I would go to for advice less than Michelle Obama. She really doesn't know what she's talking about,' she said. 'First of all, she loves to tell us she hated Barack for a good decade. Please, teach me how to have a successful relationship with someone you clearly respect and admire. Every time she's on the air, it's like, 'I'm dragging this ball of dead weight behind me. His name? Barack Obama.'' Michelle Obama has been open about the strain that her husband's two terms put on their marriage. In 2023 she told Revolt TV, 'People think I'm being catty by saying this – it's like, there were 10 years where I couldn't stand my husband. And guess when it happened? When [our daughters] were little.' 'IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson' debuted in March. Though the podcast got off to a slow start, in recent weeks episodes have largely had more than 300,000 views on YouTube. The podcast is produced by Higher Ground. Watch the exchange between Kelly and Callahan in the video above.

Michelle Obama breaks silence on rumors she and Barack are getting divorced
Michelle Obama has addressed rumors that she and Barack are getting divorced. The couple turned heads in January when Barack attended former President Jimmy Carter's funeral without his wife. Days later, Michelle confirmed she wouldn't attend Donald Trump's second presidential inauguration either, sparking rumors that she and Barack were splitting up. The former First Lady finally spoke about the discourse during an appearance on Sophia Bush's Work in Progress podcast on Wednesday. 'The interesting thing is that, when I say 'no,' for the most part people are like, 'I get it, and I'm OK,'' she said. 'That's the thing that we as women, I think we struggle with disappointing people. I mean, so much so that this year people couldn't even fathom that I was making a choice for myself that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing.' 'This couldn't be a grown woman just making a set of decisions for herself, right?' she added. 'But that's what society does to us. We start actually, finally going, 'What am I doing? Who am I doing this for?' And if it doesn't fit into the sort of stereotype of what people think we should do, then it gets labeled as something negative and horrible.' Michelle's remarks come days after Barack made a candid revelation about their relationship. During a talk at Hamilton College on April 3, he explained how his presidency affected his marriage of 32 years. 'I was in a deep deficit with my wife,' he said. 'I've been trying to dig myself out of that hole by doing occasionally fun things.' Michelle previously opened up about her marriage during an interview with Revolt TV, in which she said of the effort she and her husband put in: 'There are times I'm 70, he's 30. There are times he's 60, I'm 40.' She also said 'there were 10 years' where she 'couldn't stand' Barack, but added: 'I would take 10 bad years over 30. It's just how you look at it.' According to Michelle, the issue stemmed from a realization that the couple's marriage wasn't 'even' at the time, as she noted that she was taking care of the children and her husband was embarking on his political career. Barack had two terms as US president, which lasted from 2009 to 2017. 'That's when all the measuring starts,' she continued, while acknowledging that couples often 'turn that ire on each other.' Michelle's latest comments appear to confirm PageSix sources, who told the outlet that the former First Lady simply had no interest in attending the events at the U.S. capital. 'They don't pretend that they have this Camelot relationship. They're not trying to present that they're this magical couple,' the source said.

Barack Obama Says He Was in a ‘Deep Deficit' with Wife Michelle After Presidency: ‘Been Trying to Dig Myself Out'
Barack Obama has a new reason to add fun things to his schedule. During a conversation with Hamilton College President Steven Tepper on Thursday, April 3, the former president, 63, said he was 'in a deep deficit with my wife' after his two terms in the Oval Office ended, per The Daily Beast. 'So I have been trying to dig myself out of that hole by doing occasionally fun things,' Obama, who has been married to Michelle Obama since 1992, continued. Obama and Michelle, 61, have two daughters, Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23. The Obamas have been open about the strain being in the White House put on their marriage in the past. In December 2022, Michelle said there was a decade during their relationship when 'she couldn't stand' her husband. "People think I'm being catty by saying this — it's like, there were 10 years where I couldn't stand my husband," she said in a conversation with Revolt TV. "And guess when it happened? When those kids were little." The Obamas lived in the White House from January 2009 to January 2017.

In May 2023, when Obama was asked about those remarks on CBS Mornings, he replied, 'Let me just say this: it sure helps to be out of the White House. And to have a little more time with her." 'Michelle — when our girls were growing up, that was priority number one, two, three and four,' the former president continued. 'And so, I did not fully appreciate, I think, as engaged of a father as I was, the degree of stress and tension for her, knowing that not just me and Michelle were under scrutiny and in this strange environment, but that we were raising our daughters in a kind of situation that just wasn't normal."

Shoot, Leaves Sweet Online Comment to Them In a 2018 conversation with PEOPLE around the release of her book Becoming, Michelle said she and her husband once saw a marriage counselor. 'There were definitely times when I wished things were different… but I don't think I ever thought, 'I'm just checking out of this,' ' Michelle said. More recently, Michelle told her brother, Craig Robinson, in a talk at SXSW how she and Obama have stayed 'sane' amid the gossip and rumors they faced during his time in office and since leaving the White House. 'Through it all, what kept us sane — and we tried to instill this in our daughters — is, you cannot live through social media,' she said in March. 'I don't think I have ever once looked at a comment section, period.' Read the original article on People
