This Diddy trial is proof that you can do anything if you got money.

So so disappointing on the Diddy charges. The evidence was there. And that’s why Cassie went civil because why should she have to go through all that for not guilty? Juries need to be taught about domestic and sexual abuse before they can hand out verdicts; I’ve been saying!

I don’t know why anyone is surprised that Diddy basically got off when we have an adjudicated rapist sitting in the White House. Men with wealth and power who abuse women are celebrated in this country.

Diddy walking basically tells you that none of these high-profile pedophiles will ever face any justice. What a surprise.

Either way it goes, Diddy’s reputation is forever damaged. If they do let him go, he needs to just disappear from the public eye. But let’s see which celebs, outside of the usual suspects, who are going to come out in support of him after all this.
I feel sick to my stomach. How is Diddy beating all these charges? That jury is so useless.

The Diddy jury verdict shocked me. I wasn’t expecting anything other than guilty on all charges.
