So, if you’re Shan Diddy Coles, it looks like D. Richard’s not done with you. On top of the whole SE situation and the Buzby mess—yeah, we know we’ve been gone for a while, but we’re back and live today, bringing blogging back in style. Don’t forget to hit those notifications.
But enough about that, let’s get to the juicy stuff. Dawn is back in the news, and she’s making it clear that Diddy isn’t out of the woods yet. She’s saying that everything we’ve seen so far is just the tip of the iceberg and that there are hundreds more victims out there.
Now, hear me out. How can there be hundreds more if Diddy was the only one involved? Hollywood and the music industry really need to stop pretending they don’t know what’s going on. Diddy wasn’t doing this alone.
A lawyer for one of the alleged victims recently told Sky News that she believes the criminal case against him is just the beginning. There could be hundreds of other victims who are too scared to speak out. And maybe that’s why some lawyers are getting bullied.
Richard, along with others, is suing Diddy following his arrest back in September, and he’s waiting for his jail time in New York.
Lisa Bloom, who represents Dawn, said it best: “I think this is just the tip of the iceberg. What we’re seeing right now is only the start, and I have no doubt more people will come forward.” She’s convinced that there are many more individuals who have allegations of sexual assault, physical abuse, threats, and even sex trafficking against Diddy and his associates.
She says many victims might be too scared or feel they have no rights to speak out, especially after signing non-disclosure agreements. The criminal case against Diddy accuses him of using blackmail, violence, and his employees to coerce and abuse people over the years. And on top of that, he’s facing multiple civil suits—like the Buzby case—and the ones from Wigdor and Tyrone Blackburn.
Now, let me break it down: Dawn claims that when she was part of Making the Band, she and others were treated horribly. They weren’t allowed to eat or sleep, they were locked up in rooms and couldn’t leave, and they were constantly insulted, especially with gendered comments. She says Diddy groped her, witnessed him assaulting other women, and even physically restrained her, locking her in cars and other places. It was a terrifying experience for her.
Dawn tried speaking out for the other women she believed Diddy was abusing, but when she did, she was threatened and feared for her safety. Diddy’s lawyer, however, says this is all just an attempt to rewrite history. They claim it’s a made-up story by a singer who’s just trying to get attention for her album. But here’s the thing—why would anyone in the industry, especially someone trying to get her music noticed, go up against one of the most powerful people in music? It doesn’t make sense. And who’s buying an album just because someone said they saw Diddy doing his thing?
They also argue that if Dawn had such a bad time working with Diddy in Danity Kane, she wouldn’t have come back for round two. Diddy’s been called a gatekeeper in the industry, and while that’s true, let’s be real—he couldn’t have done all of this on his own.
It’s pretty clear that Diddy’s arrogance is at play here. Even if Dawn didn’t get trafficked or raped, she witnessed a lot. And if she can back up what other victims, like Cassie and Little Rob, are saying, why didn’t Diddy just settle with her? Why not? He could’ve put this to bed. But instead, he let this drag on. Maybe he says he’s innocent, but the longer this goes on, the more that seems like a cover-up. Dawn is a key witness—she could give details, dates, and proof. She’s probably a more reliable witness than Kena, whose interview left a lot of questions unanswered.
So here’s the big question: If Dawn is such an important piece of the puzzle, why not settle with her? The longer they ignore her, the more it looks like she’s holding the key to Diddy’s downfall.
It’s mind-boggling, right? Why didn’t she just walk away? A lot of the things coming out in the Diddy case just don’t add up. But one thing that does make sense is the behavior of people with massive egos who think they can get away with anything—because they believe they’re untouchable. They truly think nothing will stop them. And it blows my mind. It’s like robbing a bank, knowing full well you’ve been seen, and the only thing that links you to the crime is one eyewitness. Then the witness comes forward and says, “Hey, you stepped on my foot during the robbery. You owe me for that.” And you respond, “I’m not giving you a thing. Leave me alone.” Then, when charges are brought up, and the robbery comes to light, you act all shocked.
It just doesn’t make sense. Diddy’s arrogance, his ego, and honestly, his cheapness are what’s getting him into this mess. Here’s the thing: Dawn has spoken to officers from the U.S. Department of Justice, and she believes more criminal charges are coming. We all suspect an attempted murder charge might be on the table, but we’ll see how it plays out. She’s been answering questions, and I’m sure others have too, so we’re expecting more criminal charges soon. There are also going to be more civil suits.
Sean Colmes is the one calling the shots—he’s at the top of the pyramid. But we can’t forget the others who helped him. They need to be held accountable as well. When you hurt so many people—likely hundreds—you can’t do it alone. You need people who see the abuse, ignore it, and keep funding it. Those people need to face justice too, and we’re making sure they do.
She also thinks we’ll hear other famous names come up in this. People used to brag about attending Diddy’s parties. There were a lot of people there, and while some might not have known what was going on, a lot of others probably did. Just because you’re a celebrity doesn’t mean you’re above the law—no matter how some of them act. Right now, the civil cases against Diddy are moving forward alongside the criminal case. Diddy hasn’t requested a stay, but with the new indictments coming in, unless he plans to make a deal with his co-defendants, this is turning into a huge mess—and I, for one, am here for it.
But at the end of the day, no matter how many people claim they didn’t know what was happening, the law is coming for them. We’ll see how it all plays out. Let me know what you think in the comments. I’ll be live later to go over all the legal details.
