Wendy Williams recently spoke out about Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest and ongoing legal case, stating that many people had told her she “called it” and were surprised by the allegations against him. Williams expressed horror over security footage allegedly showing Diddy beating his ex-girlfriend, Cassie. She raised concerns about how many more women may have been affected by Diddy’s actions.
Diddy was arrested in New York last month on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and more. He has denied all allegations and pleaded not guilty, currently awaiting trial in jail. The rapper has been denied bail twice but filed an appeal to overturn the ruling. A Texas law firm revealed accusations of sexual assault and sex trafficking by 120 victims, including minors. Diddy’s attorney has denied these claims as false and defamatory.
Williams’ decision to address Diddy’s legal situation comes as no surprise given their longstanding feud. This feud began in the ’90s when Williams spoke out against Diddy on her radio show, leading to her firing and claims that Diddy played a role. Their relationship has had its ups and downs, with Williams touching on Diddy’s various name changes and his relationship with Cassie on her talk show.
During a 2015 episode of her show, Williams expressed paranoia about dating a mogul like Diddy and the difficulties of avoiding them in public. In 2017, Diddy appeared on Williams’ show, where they seemingly resolved their tensions. Williams acknowledged that she may have upset Diddy in the past but called their meeting a “full circle moment.”
The history between Williams and Diddy has been tumultuous, with Williams being openly critical of Diddy in the past. However, they seemed to have reconciled during Diddy’s appearance on her show in 2017. The current legal troubles facing Diddy have brought renewed attention to their feud and Williams’ outspoken nature regarding the allegations against him.
The ongoing legal case against Diddy has brought to light allegations of sexual assault and sex trafficking by multiple victims, some of whom were allegedly minors at the time of the incidents. Diddy’s attorney has categorically denied these claims, calling them false and defamatory. Williams’ decision to speak out about Diddy’s situation reflects their history of conflict and her willingness to address controversial topics on her show.
