Adria Sheri English, a former go-go dancer, has made serious allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs, claiming that she was forced to participate in sexual activities at his infamous "freak-off" parties. English, who has filed a lawsuit against Diddy, also revealed a list of high-profile celebrities she saw at these gatherings. Among the notable figures she claims were present are Donald Trump, Diana Ross (with her underage son Evan), Paris Hilton, Ja Rule, Busta Rhymes, and Reverend Al Sharpton. English expressed surprise at seeing some of these individuals, particularly Reverend Al Sharpton, at such controversial events.English alleges that while these celebrities attended the main parties, the "freak-offs" took place in secluded rooms away from the main events, suggesting that many of the partygoers may not have been aware of the more sinister activities happening behind closed doors. English also claimed that Diddy secretly recorded these encounters for potential blackmail purposes, further complicating the accusations against him.(commercial at 8:50)to contact me:[email protected]:Ex-porn star accusing Diddy of coercing her into 'freak offs' recalls seeing Rev.

In January 2025, rapper Drake filed a defamation lawsuit against his record label, Universal Music Group (UMG), alleging that the company promoted Kendrick Lamar's diss track "Not Like Us," which falsely accuses Drake of pedophilia. Drake contends that UMG prioritized profit over his safety and reputation, as the song's release allegedly led to violent incidents, including a shooting at his Toronto residence. He also claims that UMG employed bots and engaged in payola schemes to artificially inflate the track's popularity.UMG has denied these allegations, describing them as "offensive and untrue," and asserting that they would not undermine an artist they have heavily invested in. Legal experts suggest that proving defamation in this context may be challenging due to First Amendment protections of artistic expression. Some speculate that Drake's lawsuit could be a strategic move in his contract negotiations with UMG. The case underscores the complex interplay between artistic freedom and personal reputation in the music industry.to contact me:[email protected]:Microsoft Word - 2025.01.15 New Operative Defamation Complaint(9377666.8)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In his further reply supporting the motion to dismiss Jane Roe's lawsuit, Garth Brooks contended that Roe's allegations were not only baseless but also strategically filed in California to circumvent ongoing legal proceedings in Mississippi. Brooks emphasized that he had initiated a defamation lawsuit against Roe in Mississippi prior to her California filing, accusing her of attempting to extort him with false claims. He argued that Roe's lawsuit was a retaliatory action designed to undermine his preemptive legal measures and to exploit California's legal system.Brooks' legal team asserted that the California court should dismiss Roe's lawsuit to prevent duplicative litigation and potential conflicting judgments between the two states. They maintained that the Mississippi court was the appropriate venue to adjudicate the disputes between the parties, given the pre-existing lawsuit and the substantial overlap in the issues presented. Despite these arguments, the California court denied Brooks' motion to dismiss without prejudice, opting to stay the proceedings pending the outcome of the Mississippi case.In December 2024, U.S. District Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald denied Garth Brooks' motion to dismiss a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him by a former makeup artist, identified as Jane Roe. Brooks had sought dismissal on the grounds that a related defamation lawsuit he filed in Mississippi should take precedence. However, Judge Fitzgerald ruled that the California case would be stayed pending the outcome of the Mississippi proceedings, emphasizing that dismissal at this stage was inappropriate.The judge's decision underscores the complexity of concurrent legal actions in different jurisdictions. By staying the California proceedings, the court aims to prevent conflicting judgments and ensure a fair adjudication of the intertwined issues. Brooks is required to inform the California court of any developments in the Mississippi case within ten court days, highlighting the ongoing nature of this legal matter.to contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.cacd.946930.28.0.pdfsource:gov.uscourts.cacd.946930.25.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jane Roe, a former makeup artist for Garth Brooks, filed an opposition to Brooks' motion to dismiss her sexual assault lawsuit in California. In her opposition, Roe contended that Brooks' attempt to dismiss the case was a strategic move to evade California's legal protections, specifically its anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) statutes, which are designed to prevent frivolous lawsuits that intimidate or silence individuals exercising their legal rights. Roe's legal team argued that Brooks' preemptive defamation lawsuit filed in Mississippi was a form of "forum-shopping," intended to undermine her claims and deny her the protections afforded by California law.Roe's opposition emphasized that her allegations of sexual misconduct, including assault and battery, were serious claims that deserved to be heard in a California court, where the alleged incidents occurred. She maintained that dismissing her case in favor of Brooks' Mississippi lawsuit would unjustly disadvantage her and potentially suppress her pursuit of justice. The California court, acknowledging the complexities introduced by the concurrent Mississippi case, denied Brooks' motion to dismiss without prejudice and stayed the proceedings pending the outcome of the related lawsuit in Mississippi. This decision allowed Roe's claims to remain active in California, awaiting further developments from the Mississippi court.(commercial at 8:12)to contact me:[email protected]:Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In November 2024, country music star Garth Brooks filed a motion in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California to dismiss a sexual assault and battery lawsuit brought against him by a former makeup artist, identified as Jane Roe. Brooks contended that Roe's claims should be dismissed or transferred to Mississippi, where a related lawsuit he initiated against her was already pending. He argued that the allegations were part of an extortion attempt and that the California court lacked jurisdiction over the matter.In this episode, we take a look at that motion.to contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.cacd.946930.12.0_1.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In Bryan Kohberger's case (CR29-22-2805), the defense has filed a "Motion to Strike the Future Dangerousness Aggravator," which challenges the prosecution's claim that Kohberger poses an ongoing threat to society. The aggravator, if used, could justify harsher sentencing, such as the death penalty. The defense is likely arguing that there is insufficient evidence to support this claim. Kohberger is accused of the murders of four University of Idaho students, and his legal team is working to limit factors that could lead to a more severe sentence​.(commercial at 8:04)to contact me:[email protected]:The United States Supreme Court’s constitutional test for granting a change of venue is rather simple: “…where there is a reasBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
