So what exactly was he sentenced for? Did the awful video of him beating that woman in the hallway have any consequences at all? Or was that a freeby?That alone should have gotten him many more years--what a dirtbag!!! and what is the message  that he  sending to all his kids??? Am sure they have been brainwashed and blind to his real personality---DIRTBAG!!!!!

As bad as it was that Diddy booked speaking engagements...who wants him to come speak?!  What organization wants him out of all celebrities to chose from? 

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

The sentence seems to be appropriate for the crime (violation of the Mann Act) that received guilty verdicts.

 

Although many want to, one can't be sentenced for crimes that didn't receive a jury guilty verdict. 

 

The sentence handed down will be reduced by time served and could be further shortened by a record of good behavior.

It's outrageous that brutality and violence against women isn't taken more seriously in our judicial system and in our culture, generally.

I thought sure he would get ten years, one year served. Another year and he'll be out going back to his flamboyant lifestyle. He has no regrets.

The speaking engagements were all scheduled with The Miami Foundation, a not-for-profit 501c3.

I’m not here to debate whether the sentence was fair. That is up to our legal system. What happened was violent, and wrong.

 

But I also believe the women entered the space willingly, consented initially, took the drugs, and participated in the setup. That doesn’t erase their victimhood.

 

What happened to these women is a cautionary tale, not because they were to blame, but because the setup was familiar: power, drugs, blurred consent. Future victims can learn from this.
