Another embarrassment for Diddy prosecutors as 'missing victim' who they 'couldn't find' resurfaces to PRAISE him
Diddy 's ex-girlfriend who once accused the rapper of stomping on her stomach now claims she's not worried about him being back on the streets because he never injured her. Gina Huynh broke her silence on the bombshell trial on Tuesday - a day before Diddy was acquitted of the most serious charges against him - sex-trafficking and racketeering. 'He never did anything dangerous to me. I'm not scared,' she said as she left a Vegas grocery store after TMZ asked if she feared for her life if Diddy was acquitted. Investigators complained about not being able to find Huynh to question her about Diddy ahead of his trial - but the celebrity website made light work of tracking her down. Huynh's comments this week contradict her earlier statements about her relationship with Diddy. In 2019, she claimed the mogul once 'stomped' on her stomach and repeatedly punched her in the head during one disturbing encounter. 'He stomped on my stomach really hard — like, took the wind out of my breath,' Gina said in her interview with controversial blogger Tasha K. 'I couldn't breathe. He kept hitting me. I was pleading to him, "Can you just stop? I can't breathe."' Huynh claimed at the time that Diddy had punched her in the head at other times, and her hair would cover signs of her injuries. 'He was mentally, emotionally and physically abusing me,' she also claimed. 'He would always compare me to Cassie and tell me that I'm the bad one, she's a good one.' Diddy's own legal team admit that he is a woman beater after appalling footage showed him beating up then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hotel corridor in 2016. But the star was never charged with domestic abuse, with Huyhn previously offering further disturbing details of his alleged She also said that after she got pregnant with Diddy's child, he paid her $50,000 to get an abortion, though she says she refused the payment. Huynh also claimed that 'everyone' in Diddy's circle 'allowed' him to abuse her multiple times. The pair met in 2013 in Las Vegas. Their romance began a year later and, according to Huynh, they dated for five years. The Instagram model's most recent comments, however, might explain why Huynh apparently ghosted prosecutors just days before the trial after she was scheduled to be 'Victim 3' in their case against Diddy. Her testimony was supposed to bolster the prosecution's case against the Diddy and support the racketeering and sex-trafficking charges he was acquitted of. But just before the trial started, prosecutors told the judge they were unable to get in touch with 'Victim 3.' While she did not take the stand, Huynh was mentioned several times, including during Cassie's harrowing testimony. Cassie told the court she decided to leave Diddy for good after she saw pictures of him with Huynh. Cassie's former friend Kerry Morgan also appeared to mention Huynh's pregnancies on the stand, saying they were devastating to Cassie. In the end, the jury was not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that Diddy was guilty of sex-trafficking or racketeering. Diddy dropped to his knees and prayed in the courtroom after he was acquitted Wednesday of the charges that could have put one of hip-hop's celebrated figures behind bars for life. His lead attorney Marc Agnifilo called the verdict a 'great victory' and said the jury 'got the situation right — or certainly right enough' as he stood outside Manhattan federal court at a stand of microphones. 'Today is a victory of all victories.' The mixed verdict capped a sordid legal odyssey that shattered Diddy's affable 'Puff Daddy' image and derailed his career as a Grammy-winning artist and music executive, fashion entrepreneur, brand ambassador and reality TV star. 'I'll see you when I get out,' Combs told family members including his mother and children just before leaving the courtroom to return to jail. 'We're going to get through this.' Diddy stands convicted of two counts of a crime — transportation to engage in prostitution — that carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. But jurors cleared him of three charges, two of which carried a mandatory 15 years and a maximum of life. He was convicted of flying people around the country, including his girlfriends and male sex workers, to engage in sexual encounters, a felony violation of the federal Mann Act. His defense lawyers said that under federal sentencing guidelines, he would likely face about two years in prison. Prosecutors, citing Diddy's violence and other factors, said the guidelines would call for at least four to five years. Locked up since his September arrest, Diddy has already served nine months. 'We fight on and we're going to win,' Agnifilo said. 'And we're not going to stop until he walks out of prison a free man to his family.'

Tasha K Granted $3.9M Payment Plan To Pay Cardi B After Filing Bankruptcy
Tasha K has officially secured a way out of bankruptcy, but her financial obligations to Cardi B remain unimpaired. The embattled blogger, who lost a $3,900,000 defamation lawsuit to the Grammy-winner, now has a court-approved payment plan in place to settle the judgment — according to new legal documents obtained by TMZ Hip Hop. On Wednesday (March 5), a bankruptcy judge gave the green light to Tasha K's financial plan, allowing her to gradually pay Cardi B from the income generated through her various projects. While this arrangement gives the Unwine With Tasha K creator more time to fulfill her obligation, it does not absolve her of the hefty sum. In May 2023, Tasha K made the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, to which the court notified Cardi as well as 30 debtors including the IRS, the Broward County Tax Collector, the Florida Department of Revenue, and Bank of America. The filing, which took effect on June 2, temporarily halted all collection efforts as the courts worked through the Tasha K's finances. Per the U.S. Courts, Chapter 11 bankruptcy is commonly referred to as a 'reorganization' bankruptcy. This typically allows the debtor to remain 'in possession' of assets, retain the powers and duties of a trustee, and continue operating their business — sometimes even borrowing new funds with court approval. The official filing imposed an automatic stay on most collection activities, prohibiting creditors from suing, garnishing wages, repossessing property, or demanding repayment through mail or phone. Beyond the financial aspect, Cardi's legal team secured additional protections, including a non-disparagement clause that strictly bars Tasha K from making defamatory or derogatory remarks about the rapper or her family. The court is also enforcing transparency — Tasha must submit copies of her tax returns to Cardi's attorney and provide quarterly financial reports detailing her earnings while the payment plan is in effect. Cardi B's legal battle with Tasha K dates back to 2019, when the rapper sued over a series of inflammatory videos published online. Cardi's attorneys alleged that Tasha K deliberately engaged in a 'malicious campaign' to damage the Bronx rapper's reputation. Despite repeated warnings to take down the content, the blogger refused, leading to the eventual court ruling in Cardi's favor. After losing her case, Tasha K attempted to appeal the verdict but was unsuccessful. There was once a time when Cardi appeared open to the idea of letting Tasha off the hook—but that window has since closed. Now, after years of courtroom drama and legal maneuvering, the Unwine host has no choice but to pay up.
