Ellen DeGeneres Is Being Linked To The Diddy Trial Thanks To Viral Video, But Why?
Joining a long list of famous names, Ellen DeGeneres is the latest celebrity to be linked to Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ongoing sex trafficking trial. The music mogul is facing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution; he denies all allegations and has pleaded not guilty in court. What does that have to do with Ellen? The former chat show host's name came up after a viral YouTube video titled 'Judge Orders Ellen DeGeneres Arrest After tWitch's Recording Is Played In Diddy's Trial' claimed the judge issued her an arrest warrant. The video claims the warrant was ordered following the presentation of a recording by the late Stephen 'tWitch' Boss during the trial. The description of the video reads: 'Just in: a stunning courtroom twist has sent shockwaves through Hollywood! A judge has reportedly ordered the arrest of Ellen DeGeneres after a bombshell recording by tWitch was played in Diddy's trial, sparking widespread outrage and speculation. Join us as we break down the shocking revelations, the tense courtroom atmosphere, and what this could mean for Ellen, tWitch, and Diddy's already chaotic legal battle.' Other famous names linked to the trial so far – who are not accused of any wrongdoing – include Rihanna, Usher, Justin Bieber and Mila Kunis, amongst many more. Sean Diddy Combs and Ellen DeGeneres.

The video is fictional and designed to generate clicks. It is not the first of its kind either, with many fake 'reports' on Diddy's trial circulating on YouTube. Given how high profile the trial is, and how many A-listers have either testified or been mentioned in court, it's likely content creators are attempting to capitalise on the search traffic – and it's working. There is no information linking Ellen to the allegations or proceedings of the trial. The sudden deaths of tWitch, Ellen's former talk show DJ, and actress Anne Heche, Ellen's ex-girlfriend, are the basis of the viral video. Both deaths were officially ruled as accidents, tWitch died by suicide and Anne was involved in a car crash. Ellen and Anne dated from 1997 to 2000 and the tabloid interest in their relationship reportedly overshadowed Anne's acting career. 'It changed my life forever,' Anne told Page Six in 2020. 'The stigma attached to that relationship was so bad. I didn't do a studio picture for 10 years. I was fired from a $10 million picture deal.' Anne died in a car crash in LA 2022. Stephen Boss, also known as tWitch, worked on The Ellen DeGeneres Show as a repeated guest host and co-executive producer from 2014 to 2022. He also died in 2022. In a tribute to People, his wife Allison Holker Boss said tWitch was 'the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans'. Despite Ellen not being involved in Diddy's active court proceedings, the pair are known to have been friends in the past. Diddy has appeared on Ellen's former hit talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show , several times over the years. They have also attended each others parties and spoken highly about one another on social media. In 2016, Ellen wished Diddy a happy birthday and wrote, 'Happy birthday P Diddy, Puff Daddy, Sean Combs, or as I call him, Cuddle McSnugglestuff. You don't need to know why.' Understandably, given the nature of Diddy's trial, their relationship is being revisited in a new light. Ellen has not publicly commented on the proceedings. The trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs continues and is expected to last eight weeks.

Stephen 'tWitch' Boss's Family Responds To Allison Holker's Memoir Revelations
The late Stephen "tWitch" Boss's family members have stated that his widow, Allison Holker's revelations in her memoir, "This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light," caught them off guard. Holker released her memoir on February 4, sharing more deep secrets about tWitch, including how he allegedly left her with a $1 million tax bill. tWitch's widow faced heavy backlash in January after revealing the deceased pro dancer's drug addiction in an interview. On Friday, tWitch's mom, Connie Boss Alexander, and younger brother, Dre Rose spoke for the first time after his death. The pair sat down for an interview with "CBS Mornings" co-host Gayle King and shared that they had a strained relationship with Holker. Rose said he understood the need for people to share their stories but questioned how Holker went about with her revelations. He said, "I think people deserve the ability to share their story. I get that. But to... how it was presented and how it was on a cover of a magazine and there was a public, you know, launch or campaign about it, we shouldn't have to find out about the media. We're a family." During the interview, Rose and Alexander expressed their desire to read tWitch's journals, which Holker mentioned during her tell-all interview with PEOPLE Magazine. Alexander shared, "just to feel closer to him, 'cause these are his thoughts." She added that she wanted more knowledge about who her late son was and "what he was thinking from time to time." Meanwhile, Rose said he wanted to read all the journals. He explained, "I think those journals will tell you a lot. I think there's things in those journals that are good and bad, but I also believe there's journals about his personal life, his marital life that are in there." He added, "I feel ... believe that there's been a cherry-picking of things from the journal to reveal or share. And if we're just gonna be completely honest, talk about it all." During her interview with PEOPLE Magazine, Holker revealed the devastating discoveries she made after Stephen "tWitch" Boss's death. While cleaning out his closet, she found a stash of drugs, including pills and mushrooms, which shocked her. Holker shared that tWitch had been hiding his struggles, including painful childhood trauma and self-medication, to avoid burdening others. She found clues about his internal battles through his journals and books, which helped her understand his pain and gain empathy for him. Despite the initial feelings of betrayal, she hoped her story will help others struggling in silence. Meanwhile, in her memoir, Holker also opened up about the financial difficulties she faced after tWitch's passing. She claimed he left behind a significant tax bill of $1 million and no will, leaving her to manage the financial chaos alone. The financial burden, including legal fees, added to her grief, leaving her with double the hardships. Holker reflected on tWitch's complex personality, revealing that he was battling internal struggles and had two very different personas. Amid backlash for her revelations about tWitch and decision to write a memoir, Holker shared an emotional message on Instagram Stories, explaining that her book aims to "help other people" by sharing her story and life with tWitch. She admitted she "never really knew what happened" but hopes her book will highlight "red flags" she missed. She also noted that proceeds from the memoir will fund Move with Kindness, a mental health foundation in tWitch's honor. Holker, who spent two years educating herself on mental health, believes "if Stephen were able to choose, he would choose to have his story told if it meant saving even one life." tWitch's mom, Alexander, broke her silence on Holker's memoir and revelations via a post on Instagram. She condemned "misleading and hurtful claims" about her son, stating they "crossed every line of decency." Alexander vowed to protect tWitch's "name and legacy" and said his family "will not stand by" while his reputation is tarnished. The grieving mom explained her silence over the past two years was to "protect my family" and stay connected with her grandchildren. However, after reading "dreadful" accusations, she felt compelled to speak out, declaring her family's commitment to "defending his honor" and ensuring his memory remains intact.
