00:00:00Celebrities With Dark Secrets That Got Exposed
00:00:03Diddy's... whole thing.
00:00:05The allegations against Diddy have raised concerns about the culture within the music industry,
00:00:09particularly regarding how powerful figures exploit their status.
00:00:13Diddy's connections to other high-profile individuals in the entertainment industry
00:00:17have brought further attention to the accusations,
00:00:20as many are now questioning the overall treatment of women in such circles.
00:00:24Recent reports suggest that Diddy is under investigation by federal agents
00:00:32regarding various allegations, including some nefarious things.
00:00:36Although specific details have not been disclosed,
00:00:38the ongoing investigations have put a spotlight on his activities and associations.
00:00:42Several high-profile figures in the entertainment industry
00:00:45have expressed their opinions regarding Diddy's actions,
00:00:48either supporting the claims made against him
00:00:50or condemning the culture of silence surrounding such behavior.
00:00:53Have you come out and spoken against Diddy?
00:00:55No, I'm surprised at the number of people that still haven't.
00:00:58This has contributed to a growing discourse about accountability in the industry.
00:01:03Following the allegations, there has been a significant backlash from fans and the public.
00:01:07Many are reassessing their support for Diddy,
00:01:10with some calling for boycotts of his music and business ventures.
00:01:13People in the industry are forced to thank Beyonce.
00:01:16A recent theory about Beyonce's influence in the music industry has gone viral on TikTok,
00:01:21claiming that she is feared by many artists.
00:01:24The theory suggests that top performers are forced to thank Beyonce when receiving awards.
00:01:29The speculation intensified after the arrest of Diddy,
00:01:32a close friend of Beyonce's husband, Jay-Z.
00:01:34Social media users have linked the passings of several celebrities,
00:01:38including Tupac, Aaliyah, and Michael Jackson, to Diddy and Jay-Z,
00:01:42suggesting that those who do not align with them face tragic consequences.
00:01:46One viral post stated,
00:01:48if Aaliyah hadn't passed away, no one would know about Beyonce today,
00:01:52sparking further debate.
00:01:53Users have also pointed out that major artists frequently mentioned Beyonce during their acceptance speeches,
00:01:59citing examples like Adele in 2017,
00:02:01when she won Album of the Year at the Grammys and said,
00:02:04Beyonce deserved this award for Lemonade.
00:02:06We all got to see another side to you that you don't always let us see, and we appreciate that.
00:02:11Similarly, Lizzo in 2023 and Jay-Z in 2024 thanked Beyonce during their Grammy speeches.
00:02:17Justin Bieber's time as a young star
00:02:19As a young artist, Bieber faced immense pressures to maintain his popularity and produce hit records.
00:02:25This often led to a grueling schedule of performances, media appearances, and promotional activities,
00:02:30which took a toll on his overall well-being.
00:02:33Several people in Bieber's life, including managers and associates,
00:02:36have been accused of taking advantage of his youth and naivety.
00:02:39Some figures in the industry exploited his success for their own gain,
00:02:43often prioritizing profit over Bieber's well-being.
00:02:46The intense media scrutiny that Bieber faced as a teen star often overshadowed his personal struggles.
00:02:52He was frequently portrayed in a negative light, and his mistakes were heavily publicized.
00:02:56This not only affected his reputation, but also made him a target for those looking to profit from his misfortune.
00:03:02As he transitioned into adulthood, Bieber became associated with various high-profile celebrities and social circles.
00:03:08Some of these relationships were deemed toxic, leading him to engage in risky behaviors.
00:03:13Critics argue that some individuals around him were more interested in maintaining his party lifestyle than supporting him.
00:03:19Diddy's video with Cassie
00:03:21The CCTV footage involving Sean Diddy Combs and Cassie Ventura has drawn significant attention and sparked discourse due to its nature.
00:03:29The footage reportedly shows Diddy engaging in strange behavior,
00:03:33that's the only way I can describe it on here, towards Cassie in a hotel.
00:03:37Although details about the exact nature of the footage have not been fully disclosed,
00:03:41sources indicate that it captures moments of confrontation.
00:03:45The release of this footage aligns with Cassie's allegations against Diddy, which she detailed in her 2022 lawsuit.
00:03:51She claims that Diddy subjected her to years of control throughout their relationship,
00:03:55including instances of what was seen in the footage.
00:03:59The existence of this CCTV footage has intensified scrutiny of Diddy's behavior,
00:04:03particularly regarding his treatment of women.
00:04:06In her lawsuit filed in November 2022, Cassie accused Diddy of a pattern of behavior, including what was seen and control.
00:04:13The lawsuit brought significant media attention to the relationship,
00:04:16with Cassie alleging that Diddy used intimidation tactics against her.
00:04:20The lawsuit was eventually settled out of court.
00:04:23Kate Middleton's diagnosis
00:04:25Kate Middleton recently shared that she had been diagnosed with cancer after undergoing abdominal surgery earlier in 2024.
00:04:32However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present.
00:04:36Following the successful surgery in January 2024, which required a stay in the hospital,
00:04:41doctors conducted further tests that revealed the presence of cancer.
00:04:45Although the specific type of cancer has not been disclosed,
00:04:48Kate mentioned in a video message that her medical team advised her to begin preventative chemotherapy,
00:04:53which she has recently started.
00:04:55This diagnosis came as a shock to Kate,
00:04:57who emphasized the importance of managing the situation privately,
00:05:00especially for the sake of her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
00:05:05She and Prince William took care to explain the situation to their children in an appropriate manner.
00:05:10Despite the challenges, William has been a great support to her during this time.
00:05:14Wendy Williams went crazy
00:05:16When the Lifetime documentary crew began filming in August 2022,
00:05:20it set out to follow Williams' comeback as she prepared to launch a new podcast.
00:05:24The film quickly evolved into something entirely different,
00:05:27as the crew captured Williams, who served as an executive producer on the project,
00:05:30in the throes of her drinking habits and struggles with issues including Graves' disease,
00:05:35an autoimmune disorder that can cause bulging eyes,
00:05:38and lymphedema, a condition that causes swelling in her feet.
00:05:42A particularly gut-wrenching scene shows Williams, who turned 60 in July 2025,
00:05:47asking her driver to take her past the former Wendy Williams show studio,
00:05:51forgetting that he had done so only moments earlier.
00:05:54This doesn't look like anything familiar when I'm going to the Wendy Williams show.
00:05:59I don't know what the hell is going on, her driver says in the documentary.
00:06:02I think she's losing memory. She doesn't know who I am sometimes.
00:06:05The documentary crew stopped filming Williams in April 2023.
00:06:09That month, she entered a facility to treat cognitive issues.
00:06:13Her manager and jeweler, Will Selby, says in the film.
00:06:16Her son reveals in the documentary that doctors have connected these issues to her drinking.
00:06:20Williams remains in the facility to this day,
00:06:22and her family says a court-appointed legal guardian is the only person who has unfettered access to her.
00:06:28Her family says they don't know where she is and cannot call her themselves.
00:06:32But she can call them.
00:06:33The people who love her cannot see her, says Wendy's sister and Alex's mom, Wanda.
00:06:37I think the big question is, how the hell did we get here?
00:06:41Rihanna does not like Kylie Jenner at all.
00:06:44And a lot of it stems from Kylie copying Rihanna as well as trying to compete with her.
00:06:50It's widely known that Rihanna has expressed her dislike for the Kardashian-Jenner family in general,
00:06:56particularly targeting Kylie Jenner.
00:06:59Rihanna has accused Kylie of imitating her style, product ideas, as well as imitating her fame.
00:07:06She is about to just put it all out there.
00:07:08I'm not giving you my ideas, girl.
00:07:10I'm just watching.
00:07:13Twitter users have often criticized Kylie for overshadowing not only Rihanna but also celebrities like Beyonce,
00:07:21especially during significant moments such as the release of Beyonce's studio album, Lemonade.
00:07:27It's like Kylie always has to try to do something to trump other people versus celebrating their success.
00:07:33Now, the feud between Rihanna and the Kardashian family has been going on for quite some time.
00:07:38Again, it's not just with Kylie, but a lot of the instances have to do with Kylie.
00:07:43But Rihanna also had a little bit of beef with Kendall Jenner, who's Kylie Jenner's sister.
00:07:49And the intensity heightened in 2015 when Kendall Jenner seemingly replaced Rihanna's friend,
00:07:55Jordyn Dunne, as a model in the Victoria's Secret fashion show.
00:07:59In 2015, Rihanna even pulled out of her scheduled performance at the Victoria's Secret show
00:08:03after learning that V.S. replaced British model Jordyn Dunne with Kendall.
00:08:08So, being outraged by this, Rihanna refused to perform at the event and made it clear to everybody why she took such a stance.
00:08:16Now, Kylie Jenner, who is a self-proclaimed self-made entrepreneur of Kylie Cosmetics,
00:08:22has also faced accusations of stealing product ideas from Rihanna.
00:08:26Back in 2014, Rihanna launched her own company, Fenty Beauty, which introduced 40 concealer shades by 2017,
00:08:35eventually expanding to 50 shades.
00:08:37Only a few months later, Kylie Cosmetics, primarily focused on lip products,
00:08:42expanded its range to include 30 shades, raising eyebrows and drawing some comparisons to Rihanna's brand.
00:08:50She's also accused of stealing some of Rihanna's ideas for her cosmetics company.
00:08:54Also in 2014, Rihanna made a bold statement at the CFDA Fashion Awards
00:09:00by wearing the iconic crystal dress designed by Adam Selman.
00:09:16The dress, adorned with over 230,000 Swarovski crystals, became legendary and Rihanna rocked it.
00:09:26And she wore it without anything underneath it, so it was a very iconic look.
00:09:31However, fast forward to 2018, Rihanna's fans were quick to point out that Kylie had actually imitated the look.
00:09:37Kylie Jenner recreated the same look and shared it on her Instagram page.
00:09:42Critics argued that the awesomeness and just the iconicness of Rihanna's original dress
00:09:47was completely diminished in Kylie's version as she chose to wear a bra underneath
00:09:53and she didn't really rock it as well as Rihanna did anyways.
00:09:57Also Khloe Kardashian copied the look too to celebrate her sister Kourtney's 40th birthday in 2019.
00:10:05So yeah, you see, the feud extends to the rest of the family, not just with Kylie.
00:10:10But either way, it's not just in this case that Kylie has copied Rihanna's style.
00:10:15Fans have noticed that Kylie Jenner has copied several of Rihanna's looks over the years.
00:10:20Several sources have also highlighted the instances where Kylie Jenner's fashion choices were inspired by Rihanna.
00:10:27And it's also speculated that whenever Rihanna debuts a particular look,
00:10:32Kylie Jenner often follows suit by wearing a different variation of the outfit.
00:10:39To promote her Kylie Cosmetics summer collection, Kylie posted a pic in a $695 leopard print cat suit by Laquan Smith.
00:10:44She looked stunning in the mirror selfie.
00:10:46But there was only one problem. Fans noticed that Rihanna had worn the same outfit before Kylie did for her interview magazine feature.
00:10:51Now it's no doubt that both Rihanna and Kylie Jenner have achieved remarkable success
00:10:55in building their beauty empires from scratch and attaining billionaire status.
00:11:00While Rihanna has maintained her billionaire status though,
00:11:03Kylie Jenner's designation as a billionaire was later revoked
00:11:07when it was revealed that Kylie Cosmetics was not earning as much as previously claimed.
00:11:13So it's believed that the ongoing tension between these two megastars may also stem, in part,
00:11:19from their issues relating to their financial worth.
00:11:23Arguments over whoever generates more money from their prospective beauty companies
00:11:29can definitely contribute to their ongoing feud as well, for sure.
00:11:32On top of that though, dating the same person may have added another layer of complexity to their relationship dynamic.
00:11:41If you can even call it a relationship dynamic,
00:11:44because I don't think there's any relationship there at all between Kylie and Rihanna.
00:11:47While the copying allegedly goes beyond fashion and beauty,
00:11:51Rihanna and Kylie apparently also dated the same guy.
00:11:54And we are talking about Travis Scott.
00:11:57But Travis Scott, who had a secret relationship with Rihanna in 2015,
00:12:01two years prior to meeting Kylie Jenner,
00:12:04is said to have spent significant time in the studio with Rihanna
00:12:08while she was recording the song,
00:12:10Be Better Have My Money.
00:12:12Kylie and Travis now, at the time of filming this video,
00:12:16have two children together.
00:12:18So it's like, hmm, he dated Rihanna, Kylie dates him, has children together,
00:12:24is she competing here?
00:12:26Yes. You see where this is going, guys?
00:12:29Why people say and why Rihanna believes that Kylie Jenner is just a straight up copycat
00:12:34and why she just can't really stand Kylie and the Kardashian family in general.
00:12:39Here are even more secrets that Britney Spears revealed in her memoir.
00:12:43When we take a look in her book,
00:12:45Britney Spears criticizes Justin Timberlake for another issue
00:12:49outside of the unplanned pregnancy issue that they had.
00:12:52In Britney's book, The Woman in Me, she reveals she got pregnant.
00:12:56She addressed her long-standing pop rival, Christina Aguilera,
00:13:00for her famous 2003 Rolling Stone cover that she did with Justin Timberlake.
00:13:05Britney Spears used part of her The Woman in Me memoir to react to Justin Timberlake
00:13:09and Christina Aguilera's overwhelmingly positive press in the 2000s.
00:13:13Justin and Christina collaborated on their joint Justified and Stripped tour back in 2003,
00:13:19just a year after his harsh breakup with Britney Spears.
00:13:23The 40-year-old singer took to Instagram on Monday to share details about her breakup with Justin Timberlake.
00:13:29And they appeared together on the Rolling Stone cover,
00:13:32with Justin giving Christina what Britney describes as sexy looks.
00:13:41You know, the whole thing was pretty seductive.
00:13:43And Britney Spears wrote this specifically.
00:13:45Even if they weren't trying to be cruel, it felt like they were just pouring salt in the wound.
00:13:51Why was it so easy for everyone to forget that I was a human being,
00:13:55vulnerable enough that these headlines could leave a bruise?
00:14:04Britney Spears also opened up about her strong disapproval
00:14:08of how the media was starting to depict her as an eternal virgin,
00:14:13especially in the early parts of her career.
00:14:15She reveals that this good girl image was something that was crafted by her managers and the media
00:14:22due to her large teenage fan base.
00:14:24But that really wasn't her at all.
00:14:26Contrary to this portrayal,
00:14:28Britney shares that she had been actually intimately active since the age of 14 years old,
00:14:34and she had been living with Justin Timberlake during their relationship.
00:14:39So, you know, stuff were going down.
00:14:41Britney then went on to reflect on the intense scrutiny that she faced from the media throughout her entire career.
00:14:48She goes on to mention receiving unsettling comments about her chest size,
00:14:53with rumors starting to swirl about her getting cosmetic surgery.
00:14:57And Britney also talked about feeling really uncomfortable
00:15:01at the increasing amount of older men that would leer at her during her shows.
00:15:07There were some other incidents that made Britney feel uncomfortable too, outside of these.
00:15:12Specifically, she criticizes her 2003 interview with Diane Sawyer,
00:15:17where she was bombarded with tough questions about Justin Timberlake following their breakup.
00:15:23You did something that caused him so much pain.
00:15:27I was upset.
00:15:28Britney feels that she shouldn't have been compelled at all to discuss personal matters on national TV,
00:15:36especially in front of a stranger who seemed relentless in her questioning,
00:15:41which made her burst into tears.
00:15:43Britney had even mentioned that she wasn't even prepped on what questions were going to be asked in the interview,
00:15:50so she was completely unprepared and just did not expect the interview to go that way.
00:15:56Regarding another interview experience,
00:15:59Britney criticizes Ryan Seacrest for his interview approach during her 2007 appearance on his live radio show.
00:16:07Instead of promoting her album,
00:16:09she was bombarded with questions about her children, Jaden and Preston,
00:16:14and that took her off guard.
00:16:16It was like, what are you talking about my kids? I don't want to talk about them. That's private stuff.
00:16:19Speaking of her kids though, Britney Spears did talk about her struggles with perinatal depression
00:16:25after the birth of her first son.
00:16:28She openly admits that she was so distressed she fell into depression
00:16:33that she didn't allow her mom to hold him for two months after his birth.
00:16:38And here's an excerpt of what Britney wrote in her book about this.
00:16:42I got a little depressed once I was no longer keeping them safe inside my body.
00:16:47They seemed so vulnerable out in the world, jockeying paparazzi and tabloids.
00:16:53I began to suspect that I was a bit overprotective when I wouldn't let my mom hold Jaden for the first two months.
00:17:00Also, after her conservatorship began,
00:17:03Britney says that her life was meticulously controlled.
00:17:07Almost like putting parental controls on someone's iPhone.
00:17:11And any resistance that she may have put up was just completely ignored.
00:17:16It was shut down, almost like she didn't exist.
00:17:19Whatever she wanted, yeah, nope, who cares what you want.
00:17:22She also made a note of a 2016 TV interview where she discussed the conservatorship.
00:17:28But this discussion was actually cut from the final broadcast.
00:17:32And there have been some speculations that suggest that this interview was with the UK's Jonathan Ross show.
00:17:39We're about to look at the biggest secrets exposed in the House of Kardashian docuseries.
00:17:45The Kardashian women, they are superior to rich men now.
00:17:49Kris Jenner, who's portrayed as both ambitious and controlling in the first episode of the House of Kardashian,
00:17:56is seen as the driving force behind her family's rise to fame.
00:18:00Her ambition reportedly grew during her marriage to Robert Kardashian Sr.
00:18:05And according to Robert's cousin Joan Aghajanian Quinn,
00:18:09Kris desired to be a mother but wasn't content with being a housewife.
00:18:14The shift towards fame and fortune came after her divorce from Robert and her relationship with Bruce Jenner,
00:18:21now known as Caitlyn Jenner.
00:18:29And post-divorce, Kris played a pivotal role in revitalizing Caitlyn's public speaking career,
00:18:36urging her to part ways with her manager and take charge of negotiations.
00:18:42Described as charming yet tough in business dealings, Kris skillfully secured lucrative deals for Caitlyn Jenner.
00:18:52And despite controlling their finances, Caitlyn appreciated the business dynamics of their relationship,
00:18:59where Kris's savvy complimented Caitlyn's name recognition.
00:19:04Kris wanted to be more than just a housewife.
00:19:07Again, at the time, she was known as Bruce Jenner, who was an Olympian.
00:19:12Their collaboration, of course, proved to be very successful and it created a strong business team,
00:19:17as well as it helped to reinforce their romantic relationship.
00:19:20There have also been several reports about the awareness of Caitlyn Jenner's gender dysphoria within the Kardashian family,
00:19:27particularly with Kris Jenner, and these reports have varied over the years.
00:19:32Kris has asserted that she wasn't fully informed about Caitlyn's secret life,
00:19:37but Caitlyn actually contradicted this during the House of Kardashian series,
00:19:42revealing that Kris knew about her gender dysphoria before their marriage.
00:19:46And Caitlyn described a brief conversation about her situation,
00:19:50emphasizing that she had moved on from that phase.
00:19:54There were some sources close to Kris that countered Caitlyn Jenner's claims,
00:19:59stating that Kris learned about Caitlyn's decision to transition from e-executives and not Caitlyn directly.
00:20:06However, previous statements by Kris suggest knowledge of Caitlyn experimenting with gender-affirming medication.
00:20:13Then, their daughter, Kendall Jenner, in contradiction to her mother's stance,
00:20:18asserted in 2016 that Kris was fully aware of Caitlyn's gender dysphoria by their third date.
00:20:25And Kendall also mentioned instances where the family had caught Caitlyn wearing women's clothing.
00:20:31Also, contrary to Kim Kardashian's previous assertion that her tape with her ex, Ray J, was leaked without consent,
00:20:38revelations in House of Kardashian challenged this narrative.
00:20:42David Weintraub, who's Ray J's manager and a former friend of the Kardashian family,
00:20:47he accused Kim and Ray J of intentionally releasing the tape to boost their careers.
00:20:54Weintraub claimed that Kim informed Kris, her mom, of their plan before its release,
00:21:00suggesting it could elevate the family and their business.
00:21:04Kim wanted Kris to handle negotiations to protect their interests,
00:21:08and the Girls Gone Wild founder, Joe Francis,
00:21:12who collaborated with Kim and Ray J on marketing the tape, echoed similar claims.
00:21:17Francis, he claimed that the tape wasn't just about recording it.
00:21:22Instead, it aimed to create controversy for publicity.
00:21:26He contested the idea that the tape was leaked,
00:21:29and he asserts that Kim and Ray J, as consenting people, released it deliberately.
00:21:35However, Francis did deny Kris' involvement in the initial planning of doing this.
00:21:40There's also some information about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's love story.
00:21:45It actually traces back to around 2012, when Kanye West openly expressed his affection for Kim in his song Cold.
00:21:52However, according to Kanye West's associate Malik Youssef,
00:21:55their romantic connection began even earlier than that.
00:21:59Okay, despite Kanye West's initial interest sparked by Kim's past,
00:22:04Youssef, he portrayed a more sentimental side,
00:22:08and he highlighted Kanye West's admiration for Kim as his dream girl,
00:22:13and recalled a moment when they shared a kiss.
00:22:17Youssef also claimed that Kim distanced herself from Kanye after his controversial remarks about President George Bush back in 2005,
00:22:26where Kanye West asserted that George Bush didn't care about black people following Hurricane Katrina.
00:22:33And according to Youssef, Kim expressed her love for Kanye West,
00:22:37but couldn't be with him at the time due to the potential repercussions on her reality show empire.
00:22:44So they temporarily went their separate ways from there, but ended up getting married several years later.
00:22:50And the last big secret that the House of Kardashians shared is about editor Jessica DeFino,
00:22:57who worked on the family's subscription-based apps from 2015 to 2019,
00:23:02actually expressed conflicting feelings about creating content for the Kardashian-Jenner family.
00:23:09She realized that the standards that they promoted were unrealistic and unattainable, even for themselves.
00:23:17DeFino specifically pointed out Kylie's lack of transparency about her lips,
00:23:22noting that they are the result of injectable lip fillers.
00:23:27And this isn't the first time the Kardashian-Jenners have faced accusations of promoting unrealistic beauty standards.
00:23:33And Kylie even went on to acknowledge her family's influence,
00:23:37and she recently emphasized on their show The Kardashians the need for a larger conversation about the beauty standards that they set.
00:23:45And she expressed a desire for more positive impact.
00:23:48Cat Williams had enough of watching his fellow comedians blast off into stardom as he watched from the sidelines.
00:23:56In a recent episode of the Club Shea Shea podcast with Shannon Sharp,
00:24:00Cat Williams took deep shots at tons of his fellow Hollywood superstars.
00:24:05I'm talking deep.
00:24:06No, we've never heard of that before that person or since that person.
00:24:11Most of whom have seen considerably more commercial success than Cat Williams ever has.
00:24:17We're going to take a deep dive into all of the trash talk that Cat spewed on this podcast
00:24:22and some of the ridiculous claims that he made regarding some of Hollywood's biggest stars.
00:24:28They pay you to not talk about things they don't want you to talk about.
00:24:33Cat claims that in his first movie role, Friday After Next,
00:24:38he appealed to the cast and writers and got an intimate act of force removed from the script.
00:24:44In this interview, Cat Williams revealed that there was supposed to be a scene of intimate forcing filmed in a washroom,
00:24:51which Cat ultimately appealed to have removed.
00:24:54And it was.
00:24:55You shouldn't even talk to them anymore.
00:24:57Cat doubled down on his statement, claiming that they were trying to make a classic comedy
00:25:02and any scene representing an unwilling intimate activity would never be funny,
00:25:07no matter what the scenario is or what the circumstances are.
00:25:11Cat also went on to suggest that Ricky Smiley,
00:25:14who played the villainous Santa Claus in Friday After Next,
00:25:18sacrificed his child for fame
00:25:21and lied about being up for the role of Money Mike before Cat was cast in that role.
00:25:27Because he's a liar. Nobody knows why liars lie.
00:25:30Cat claimed,
00:25:31I don't know why he would lose a child and come on the air and start lying.
00:25:36That's why people believe in rituals right there.
00:25:39Your story is the Ricky Smiley that couldn't even do curse words because he had a Christian fan base.
00:25:45He was going to play the pimp.
00:25:47Cat seemed increasingly passionate and he added on,
00:25:50Why has he played a woman in more movies than he's played a man?
00:25:53Him and Tyler Perry can't play a man to save their life.
00:25:56They play good women.
00:25:57And I believe that the best actor should be in the best role.
00:26:00You wouldn't let an athlete that's been on performance enhancers talk about one of the greats.
00:26:05Ricky Smiley can't act because Ricky Smiley can't act.
00:26:09So it's safe to say that Cat Williams admires the artistic performing abilities of Ricky Smiley, right?
00:26:16Because apparently Ricky was never up in the running for Cat's role of Money Mike.
00:26:21And according to Ice Cube, who you all know as Ice Cube,
00:26:25who also starred in the movie and happened to be a writer and producer,
00:26:30there was never actually that explicit scene in the script.
00:26:34So what exactly is Cat Williams talking about?
00:26:36Ice Cube quoted in a self-filmed Twitter post,
00:26:39I would never shoot that scene in a movie, especially Friday,
00:26:43where you actually see this happening on camera.
00:26:46That just ain't my style.
00:26:47Ice Cube added on saying that Ricky Smiley was up for the Money Mike role,
00:26:52but Cat did happen to be a much better fit.
00:26:54Cat then stated that he put in his contract for the film
00:26:59that Ricky Smiley would have to wear a dress if they ever appeared in the same movie again.
00:27:04Cat also managed to throw some shade at Tyler Perry in the process,
00:27:08where Cat Williams quoted,
00:27:17Cat said,
00:27:19Now, what was Ricky Smiley's next movie?
00:27:21Was it First Sunday? Did he wear a dress in it?
00:27:24You bet he did, because it's in my contract.
00:27:27This man had a contract drafted up that quite literally forced another actor
00:27:32to wear a dress in his next on-screen production.
00:27:35Cat Williams added on saying,
00:27:49Oof.
00:27:55Ricky already responded to this claim on his morning show
00:27:58in which he denied that there was ever any such contract.
00:28:01He also says that the director, David E. Talbert,
00:28:04personally asked him to portray the role in the film,
00:28:08which also happened to be produced by Ice Cube as well.
00:28:11Cat Williams moved on and declared that veteran rapper and actor Ludacris
00:28:16joined the Illuminati to secure his Fast and Furious deals.
00:28:21Yes, you heard me right.
00:28:23Cat Williams said the following,
00:28:40Cat added on saying that,
00:28:47that would span across the filming of 10 movies
00:28:51throughout the Fast and Furious franchise?
00:28:53Well, it's now clear which one of the two ended up with which.
00:28:57I also have to say, Illuminati, eh?
00:28:59All this Illuminati talk sounds like it could have something to do with the Illuminati.
00:29:04And is the Illuminati really even a cult of extremely wealthy people who run the world?
00:29:09Or has it always just been an Italian light bulb company?
00:29:13Anyways, Ludacris responded to these claims by Cat Williams
00:29:16with a freestyle that he uploaded to social media.
00:29:19Cat moved on from Ludacris and claimed that Kevin Hart is an industry plant.
00:29:28This claim does not come out of the blue
00:29:30because these two comedians have been going back and forth for years.
00:29:34Cat directly claims that there was some shady business going on
00:29:38behind the scenes of Kevin Hart's spontaneous success in Hollywood,
00:29:42where he specifically said that in 15 years in Hollywood,
00:29:45no one in Hollywood has had a memory of a sold-out Kevin Hart show.
00:29:49Kevin already had his deals when he got here.
00:29:52And have we ever heard of a comedian that came to L.A.
00:29:55and within his first year in L.A. had his own sitcom on network television
00:29:59and his own film called Soul Plane that he was leading?
00:30:03No, we've never heard of that before.
00:30:06Cat then questioned,
00:30:07What do you think a plant is?
00:30:10Maybe people don't understand the definition of these words.
00:30:13Well, to my best knowledge,
00:30:15the definition of a plant is a multicellular,
00:30:18typically photosynthetic organism belonging to the kingdom plantae.
00:30:22Plants include a variety of organisms,
00:30:24such as trees, flowers, shrubs, grasses, and mosses.
00:30:27But hey, that's just according to Chat GPT.
00:30:31After that, Cat claimed that Kevin was a gatekeeper
00:30:34who let Tiffany Haddish into the comedy game.
00:30:37Cat quoted on the show,
00:30:38They tell you there's no gatekeepers,
00:30:40but we keep seeing the same person open the gate.
00:30:43Didn't Kevin let Tiffany in?
00:30:45Tiffany responded to Cat's claims during a comedy performance
00:30:48where she calls Cat out on the lies that he was supposedly spewing up.
00:30:53But hey, Cat doesn't just stop there.
00:30:56No, no, no, no.
00:30:58He's just getting started.
00:31:00Because Cat went in hard on Cedric the Entertainer.
00:31:03A comedian who is originally crowned the king of comedy.
00:31:07Cat claims that Cedric the Entertainer isn't funny,
00:31:11he can't dance, he can't sing,
00:31:13he doesn't write his own jokes,
00:31:15and he breaks mirrors every time he looks in one.
00:31:18Oh no, he didn't say that last part. I just made that up.
00:31:20But Cat added on, claiming that
00:31:22if Cedric the Entertainer was capable of doing anything entertaining,
00:31:26then by now he would have a special on Netflix or Tubi.
00:31:29But his specials are so bad.
00:31:31Yes, he said this.
00:31:32They're so bad that Netflix refuses to host any of his specials.
00:31:36Perhaps these claims or this anger from Cat Williams
00:31:39comes from a place of inner jealousy towards Cedric.
00:31:42Because Cat claims that Cedric stole one of Cat's best jokes
00:31:46for his kings of comedy tour back in the 1990s.
00:31:49Cat also claims that Cedric came backstage
00:31:52after one of Cat's performances
00:31:54to praise Cat for this certain joke
00:31:56and tell him how much he loved the joke
00:31:58just to end up stealing the joke
00:32:00as a show closer for one of his own performances.
00:32:03But enough with this comedian,
00:32:05because Cat went on to trash Steve Harvey next.
00:32:08And you all know Steve Harvey,
00:32:10the man who's notoriously known for his above average abilities
00:32:13at correctly reading cue cards
00:32:15and not announcing the wrong winners for major fashion shows.
00:32:18Right? I mean, the guy's also hosted Family Feud
00:32:20for what seems like a century now.
00:32:22Cat claims that Steve was stealing jokes from Mark Curry.
00:32:25He made claims that Steve Harvey fakes everything in his wardrobe,
00:32:28including his sense of style and even his afro on his own sitcom.
00:32:32But he didn't stop there, because Cat Williams added on,
00:32:35claiming that Steve Harvey could never be a movie star.
00:32:38He said,
00:32:48No, he's not talking about Charlie Sheen.
00:32:50He's talking about Steve Harvey.
00:32:51And then Cat proceeded to claim that Steve Harvey
00:32:53stopped doing stand-up comedy
00:32:55because he lost a comedy battle to Cat Williams himself
00:32:58in front of an audience of 10,000 people.
00:33:01And then Cat moved on to Kanye West,
00:33:04claiming that because of all of Kanye's mental illnesses,
00:33:07he should actually be held accountable by the media in a different way.
00:33:11Cat claimed that society put Kanye West on a pedestal,
00:33:14letting him call himself Jesus
00:33:16and letting him think that he was a god.
00:33:18Cat also went on to trash talk Kim Kardashian,
00:33:20calling her a very derogatory term and putting Kim on blast,
00:33:24claiming that Kanye married her knowing what Kim was,
00:33:27so he shouldn't have been surprised.
00:33:29Does Will Smith like men?
00:33:31This is what everybody wants to know.
00:33:33Now, Jada Pinkett Smith, she talked about all of these rumors
00:33:36surrounding her and Will Smith and their marriage.
00:33:39And this was during an interview with Hoda Kotb.
00:33:47Will and Jada have faced tons of rumors over the years,
00:33:50like them being attracted to people of the opposite gender,
00:33:53as well as them being swingers and also having an open marriage.
00:34:00But Jada, in response to all of this, all of the rumors,
00:34:03she completely shut down the rumors, and this is what she said.
00:34:12Okay, yeah, that's definitely not what most people were expecting to hear.
00:34:17Like, Jada has been open about a lot of things in her life recently,
00:34:21so, you know, I really don't see a reason for her to lie about this.
00:34:30But then online, when you take a look at various different articles,
00:34:33people are saying that, well, she's actually still covering up this secret
00:34:38because it would be too damaging to her and Will's reputations if she did admit it.
00:34:44So they're so convinced that, you know, they're attracted to people of the opposite gender,
00:34:48they have an open marriage, and they're swingers, all of that stuff.
00:34:51But what do you guys think? Let me know down below in the comments section.
00:35:02Also in the interview, though, Jada Pinkett Smith, she explained that
00:35:05she didn't witness the Oscar slap incident between Will Smith and Chris Rock
00:35:10because her view was blocked.
00:35:13Despite initial confusion, she did clarify that she didn't actually see the slap happen whatsoever.
00:35:24She was so confused about it, and she went on to say this.
00:35:27And now he's mad because Chris is talking to me.
00:35:35I couldn't really take in his apology.
00:35:38This, by the way, was in reference to Chris Rock apologizing to Jada.
00:35:47But in that, the whole time, she actually thought it was a skit.
00:35:50So it was like, huh? What?
00:35:51Then Jada had said that it wasn't until Will Smith's publicist told her
00:35:56that Chris Rock wasn't going to press any charges that she realized that Will actually hit him.
00:36:03And this is what she said in her own words.
00:36:08I looked to Will, and I said, you hit Chris?
00:36:11Like, you actually hit Chris?
00:36:13And he's like, yeah.
00:36:14And I'm like, all right.
00:36:16I guess, like, what are you going to do at that point?
00:36:18It's already done.
00:36:19Yeah, I don't blame her.
00:36:20I thought that was a skit, too.
00:36:21Either way, Jada did surprise everyone when she admitted that she and Will
00:36:25have been separated since the year 2016.
00:36:29And it's a divorce, but it's not a legal divorce.
00:36:32I was actually thinking about divorcing, separating.
00:36:35I mean, there have been several of those.
00:36:37The reason why they don't want a legal divorce is because they just don't want to.
00:36:43Because the question people have been asking is, yeah, why don't you just get a legal divorce?
00:36:47Like, you're separated.
00:36:48This is not really a marriage.
00:36:50Why?
00:36:51Just sign the papers and just go your separate ways.
00:36:53But this is what Jada had to say in response to this.
00:36:55We don't want to because we love our family and we love each other.
00:36:59You know, it's more of a life partnership.
00:37:02Now, 10 years from now, who knows?
00:37:05After hearing that, though, I really think that they're just delaying the inevitable.
00:37:08They're actually going to get legally divorced.
00:37:10But there's just so much to figure out right now and just too much drama to deal with.
00:37:14So I think they're just going to delay it as long as possible.
00:37:18And then eventually, when they're tired of playing this game or whatever this is,
00:37:22they're going to just sign the papers and move on.
00:37:25Another thing to point out is that before this interview, Jada Pinkett Smith did confirm that she and her close friend Tupac Shakur,
00:37:32they never became romantically involved.
00:37:35However, she did reveal that they shared a kiss once.
00:37:39And it was just to see if there was any romantic connection between them at all.
00:37:44And this is how Jada describes this experience.
00:37:47And I quote,
00:37:48I remember being at my house on Price Avenue on the back porch.
00:37:53And, you know, he was like, uh, you know, we should try that.
00:37:57And I was like, Pac, kiss me.
00:37:59Go ahead.
00:38:00Just kiss me.
00:38:01And so he kissed me and we both pulled back like, what the hell?
00:38:06And that's when she realized that they had zero chemistry.
00:38:10So, of course, that made her decision to be with Will Smith much easier.
00:38:15Also, Will Smith has in the past admitted that back then he was a little bit intimidated by Tupac.
00:38:22He was worried that Jada and Pac would end up being together because they were such close friends.
00:38:27But, of course, that never happened.
00:38:29And then the drama that is Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith love story has unfolded before our eyes over the past several decades.
00:38:39They are arguably the most famous family in the world.
00:38:42And where there is fame and fortune, there is usually a fair share of scandals.
00:38:47Scandals on scandals on scandals.
00:38:50What more could we expect from America's most favorite reality TV family?
00:38:55I want to talk about them.
00:38:57What?
00:38:58They've ruined the world.
00:38:59Oh, my God.
00:39:00Anyway, here we go.
00:39:01Here's a countdown of the 10 most scandalous secrets that the Kardashian family has tried to keep hidden from you, the public.
00:39:09Be nice.
00:39:10No one wants you in the f***ing shoes.
00:39:12I don't f***ing care.
00:39:13Okay, no, no, no.
00:39:14Firstly, this scandal is crazy.
00:39:16Kim Kardashian was investigated by the FBI after getting $250,000 delivered in a trash bag.
00:39:23The FBI grilled Kim Kardashian as part of one of the biggest trials Hollywood has ever seen.
00:39:30See, according to a March 2023 Bloomberg Businessweek report, Kim Kardashian was questioned by the feds as part of an investigation into a Malaysian man named Zhao Luo from Malaysia, obviously.
00:39:43You know that man, Zhao Luo, who was involved in a massive embezzlement scandal?
00:39:48Well, in 2019, Kim told the FBI that she played baccarat in a Las Vegas casino with Luo and some other secret scandalous people.
00:39:56And guess what?
00:39:57Kim won big, obviously.
00:39:59$250,000 big.
00:40:01And when Kim went to cash out, the casino actually handed her a quarter of a million dollars in a trash bag full of $100 bills.
00:40:10Kim Kardashian was once given $250,000 cash in a trash bag after gambling with Zhao Luo, according to FBI documents.
00:40:17According to the FBI, Kim put the trash bag full of cash into her carry-on bag and boarded a Southwest Airlines flight right back to LA.
00:40:26Imagine being the security person at that airport, seeing $2,500 bills going through that x-ray, yeah, in a trash bag.
00:40:36So some eyebrows were raised after that Vegas trip, to say the least.
00:40:40The next scandal is one for the ages.
00:40:42Kris Jenner allegedly mistreated all of her staff on her now-cancelled talk show.
00:40:47Radar Online reported that the talk show's six-week test run will not move forward for a full-season pickup.
00:40:53In 2013, the Kardashian mama herself got a shot at her own major network talk show.
00:40:59The show was called Kris, and it aired on Fox.
00:41:02But the reason you haven't heard of it is because it lasted just about six weeks.
00:41:06See, the show had a hard time gaining viewers, and Fox was like, uh, you're done, Kris.
00:41:12Later on, a big-shot Fox employee would comment on the cancelling of her show, claiming that Jenner's performance was just pretty uninteresting.
00:41:20But what not many people know is that behind the scenes, Kris Jenner was a nightmare to work with.
00:41:26An anonymous source that worked on the behind-the-scenes crew claimed that working with Kris was borderline unbearable.
00:41:32She would show up on set hungover and demand her beauty team to fix her up and make her look stunning.
00:41:38Wow. Imagine having the luxury of a beauty team to fix you up when you wake up hungover on a Sunday morning?
00:41:43I wish. Instead, I have a bathroom mirror that reminds me of my regrets from the prior night.
00:41:50Anyways, Kris would later take on to Twitter to claim that all of the rumors flying around her show were false.
00:41:55The next scandal that she and the rest of the family had to deal with was Kendall Jenner allegedly hooked up with Justin Bieber, who later married her best friend, God.
00:42:05That's right, Kendall Jenner usually keeps her romantic life far away from keeping up.
00:42:09But when you slay as hard as Kendall, not everything stays private.
00:42:13In fact, Kendall's longtime bestie, Hailey Bieber, occasionally drops by and makes an appearance on the show.
00:42:19And while their close friendship is well known, one thing that's not talked about on camera is the gossip that Kendall and Justin Bieber may have had a fling between 2014 and 2015.
00:42:30Juicy.
00:42:31Justin seemed to actually confirm those rumors, saying that him and Kendall briefly dated in 2015, but stated it was never serious.
00:42:39During a YouTube video that Kendall and Hailey filmed at some point recently, they were doing a Q&A where they were actually asked if they had ever kissed the same person, and a little laugh attack ensued.
00:42:54The next piece of juicy, scandalous gossip was the time when Kris Jenner allegedly paid off an ex-boyfriend who claimed that she cheated on Caitlyn Jenner.
00:43:03In her 2013 memoir, Kris Jenner and All Things Kardashian, Kris admitted to having an affair while she was married to her first husband, Robert.
00:43:11However, it's been suggested that Kris Jenner didn't share the full story of her infidelity, and actually paid off her ex-husband to keep him from talking.
00:43:18The man she had the affair with was later identified as Todd Waterman.
00:43:22Todd himself claimed that the affair continued well into Jenner's relationship with her second husband, Bruce.
00:43:28Waterman even appeared on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians as a way to legally prevent him from talking about the affair.
00:43:35It was reported that Waterman was paid somewhere between $15,000 to $20,000 for his brief appearance on the show.
00:43:42Well, Mr. Waterman, that seems a little shady now, doesn't it?
00:43:45And by the way, Caitlyn Jenner, Bruce Jenner, same person, as we know.
00:43:50The Kardashians have also now been accused of using sweatshops to create their products.
00:43:56In 2011, all the Kardashians were involved in a sweatshop investigation, where some Kardashian-branded products were accused of being made in foreign factories with just horrendous work conditions.
00:44:07The brands under scrutiny included the K-Dash by Kardashian label, the Kris Jenner Collection, and Shoe Dazzle, which Kim endorses.
00:44:15The family rep at the time claimed the Kardashians take the situation very seriously, and have since been assured by all of their manufacturers that the factories are policed regularly.
00:44:25They added that if there is any evidence of an illegal operation, then they will stop immediately working with that manufacturer.
00:44:32The next piece of scandal comes from Kylie Jenner lying about getting lip fillers.
00:44:38Before Kylie founded her billion-dollar enterprise, Kylie Cosmetics, through the sales of her famous lip kits, she was caught trying to downplay her cosmetic procedures.
00:44:46In 2015, fans noticed Kylie's lips slowly enlarging over the course of a year.
00:44:51Kylie spent months repeatedly denying and evading questions about her lips, before eventually admitting to the procedure on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
00:45:11The next piece of scandal comes from Kris Humphries, Kim Kardashian's once-husband, claiming that Keeping Up With The Kardashians is in fact staged.
00:45:20See, we all know that reality TV is a little too good to be true sometimes.
00:45:24And after their 72-day marriage fell apart, former NBA player Kris Humphries hasn't held back his dislike for his ex-wife's family and their reality show alike.
00:45:34Even though he appeared on the show, sources close to Humphries say he now insists that the reality show is completely fake.
00:45:40A source close to Kris claims that Kris says that Kim's reality shows are a total sham.
00:45:46He doesn't think there's anything real about the shows at all.
00:45:49And apparently, not to break your hearts, but that famous scene where Kim loses her earrings in the ocean?
00:45:55Yeah, fake.
00:45:56Kris claims that Kim was crying hysterically, but then miraculously, one of her younger sisters found the earring in the ocean, where the group had just been swimming, hours ago.
00:46:06See, you try finding a lost earring in the ocean. My question is, I wonder how many takes it took for them to film that segment.
00:46:12Okay, Kylie, for this take, you found the earring. Let's see if it looks better on camera. How about that?
00:46:18The next scandal comes from Kim Kardashian being accused of wage theft by staff who work in her home.
00:46:24Kim's staff, chefs, and nannies have some strict rules to follow while working in the Kardashian West home.
00:46:31In May 2021, Kim K was facing a lawsuit from seven workers who accused her of wage theft and retaliation.
00:46:41The workers claimed that they weren't properly compensated for their working hours, they didn't receive overtime pay,
00:46:46they were denied required breaks, and they didn't receive any pay-related documents while working at her Santa Monica home.
00:46:52Sounds pretty terrible.
00:46:54Kim tried to shift the blame, immediately stating that the responsibility lies with the company she hired to manage these workers.
00:47:00And her spokesperson added on, saying,
00:47:03The case is actually ongoing, but the family has chosen not to address the scandal publicly.
00:47:08The next piece of scandal comes from the time that Amber Rose, Kanye West's once lover,
00:47:14called Kim Kardashian a homewrecker, who actually pursued Kanye West while they were both dating other people.
00:47:19Before Kim and Kanye got together in 2012, they were both in serious relationships,
00:47:24and Kim and Kanye had been dating for a long time.
00:47:27Before Kim and Kanye got together in 2012, they were both in serious relationships with other people.
00:47:33Kanye was dating model Amber Rose until 2010, while Kim was dating NFL star Reggie Bush.
00:47:40Amber Rose claimed that Kim had been secretly in contact with Kanye while she was still with Reggie, sending him photos.
00:47:47Photos of what? We don't know.
00:47:49In 2012, Amber Rose was quoted saying,
00:47:57She added on, saying,
00:48:04You tell them, Amber.
00:48:05The next scandal is a big one.
00:48:07And it's the time that Khloe Kardashian had private investigators uncover Lamar Odom's cheating, while hiding it from her show.
00:48:14See, in 2013, numerous stories started to circulate about Lamar Odom cheating on his then-wife Khloe Kardashian.
00:48:22This terribly, terribly disappointed fans who had seen the couple's seemingly happy relationship on TV.
00:48:29As we know, though, TV remains TV.
00:48:32Because later on, Odom admitted to infidelity early in his marriage to Khloe.
00:48:37Allegedly, Khloe actually knew about the infidelity a year before it became public, and hired a private investigator to track her husband.
00:48:45Could you imagine?
00:48:47Despite presenting a happy face on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, as well as their own show, Khloe and Lamar, Khloe was secretly mistrustful of her then-husband Odom.
00:48:56A source claimed that Khloe had gotten access to copies of text messages between Lamar and other women.
00:49:02Hmm. Very interesting.
00:49:04And here's the thing.
00:49:06If there's one lesson that we learned today, it's that if you ever lose jewelry in the ocean, just call Kylie Jenner.
00:49:13She's got your back.
00:49:16Diddy, the allegations.
00:49:20New details about the role that Jennifer Lopez played in P. Diddy's freak-off parties has been revealed.
00:49:27And people are convinced, more than ever, that J-Lo is hiding something.
00:49:32Diddy and his freak-off parties and news about it at this point has completely taken over the media.
00:49:40And all the celebrities that are involved or connected with Diddy in some way are completely avoiding this topic altogether
00:49:48because they do not want to be associated with Diddy and his parties.
00:49:57And J-Lo is a name that just keeps on coming up because of her connection with Diddy.
00:50:02If you didn't know, back in the day, like in the late 90s, early 2000s, J-Lo and Diddy, they were romantically involved.
00:50:09So they dated for a little bit and back then they were seen as a celebrity power couple.
00:50:15But now, decades later, it turns out that their time together overlaps the period of when Diddy was hosting these freak-off parties.
00:50:25Naturally, people are wondering if J-Lo was aware of what was going on at these events and also if she had any involvement with them.
00:50:34People are wondering this because there was a former employee of J-Lo that's now sharing all this detail about how J-Lo is completely innocent
00:50:44and she lived a completely different life than P. Diddy, known as Puff Daddy back then.
00:50:49And that she had nothing to do with the parties at all.
00:50:53And, you know, J-Lo has been in the media for a long, long time.
00:50:58Some people love her, some people do not like her.
00:51:00She's faced a ton of criticism for various reasons.
00:51:03People find her to be a little bit mean and rude.
00:51:06But, you know, there's a big difference between just being demanding and a little bit rude at times.
00:51:11I think we all are demanding and rude in some cases in our daily lives.
00:51:15So that's not too strange for J-Lo.
00:51:17I think the thing is people are just thinking that how could this woman be involved with Diddy and not know what he was up to?
00:51:27Because, yeah, you can be rude, you can be mean.
00:51:29But, you know, this is a whole new level of allegations.
00:51:33And people think that, yeah, she's not just the J-Lo that we see in the media.
00:51:38She's not just, you know, the woman that jumps from relationship to relationship.
00:51:43She's also just as evil and guilty as Diddy.
00:51:47Now, I don't necessarily believe that personally.
00:51:51But this former employee of J-Lo, Taya D'Souza, who worked with her on her Made in Manhattan movie, spoke out to defend J-Lo.
00:52:01And a lot of J-Lo's critics are just thinking that, okay, well, why is she defending J-Lo?
00:52:07Like, couldn't J-Lo defend herself?
00:52:09Like, what's going on here?
00:52:11But on the flip side, though, she doesn't have anything to gain by defending J-Lo.
00:52:17She doesn't work for J-Lo anymore.
00:52:19And she's not getting paid by J-Lo.
00:52:22There's no apparent benefit for defending J-Lo.
00:52:25So this is why I tend to lean towards the belief that she doesn't have any reason to lie about J-Lo's innocence.
00:52:32She says that she knew J-Lo pretty well during the time that she dated Diddy.
00:52:37And now she's coming forward to just set the record straight.
00:52:40Because she knows a lot of people are making speculations and claims and spreading a lot of theories about J-Lo.
00:52:46She's adamant that anyone who knew Jennifer Lopez at the time also would make it clear that she was not involved in any of Diddy's mess.
00:52:57And, I mean, when you take a look at the circumstances like I was talking about, this seems pretty sincere.
00:53:04Like, for her to come out and say this, it seems like a sincere thing.
00:53:08Like, what does she have to gain from doing this?
00:53:12But, you know, just because Taya D'Souza says these things doesn't necessarily make them 100% true.
00:53:19So J-Lo isn't in the clear yet.
00:53:21I think there's still too much questions and not enough evidence that have been brought forth to show that J-Lo is innocent.
00:53:29For people to just kind of back off and be like, okay, yeah, J-Lo 100% wasn't involved in any of Diddy's mess.
00:53:36According to Taya D'Souza, J-Lo is somebody who barely ever drinks.
00:53:41She's not a party person at all.
00:53:43And she isn't the type of celebrity that's looking to just have a good time in that way.
00:53:49Instead, Taya describes J-Lo as a workaholic.
00:53:53And she says that she's a woman that's focused on uplifting others and empowering other women.
00:53:59And she said that she was just somebody who was charmed by Diddy for a brief moment in time.
00:54:05But ultimately, she's 100% dedicated to her career.
00:54:09Taya also says that she doesn't deserve to be connected to Diddy in any way.
00:54:14And, you know, she does bring up a good point.
00:54:16People get charmed by their partners all the time without knowing everything about them.
00:54:22And in this case, maybe J-Lo saw that Diddy, you know, he's a charismatic guy.
00:54:28He's famous, he's rich, he's influential, very successful.
00:54:32Who wouldn't want to date Diddy back in the day, right?
00:54:35If that's all you knew about him.
00:54:37So, of course, she saw it as an opportunity to get to know him, date him for a little bit.
00:54:44And she wasn't aware of the full degree of his dark side.
00:54:48That's one possibility.
00:54:50And I always got to try to play devil's advocate here because people are still a little bit skeptical
00:54:55putting out that J-Lo was often seen partying with Diddy during their time together.
00:55:00But apparently she's the kind of person who works too much and too passionately
00:55:05to get distracted by all of the partying.
00:55:08Yeah, that's what they're saying about J-Lo, even though she's been seen partying.
00:55:13Not that she didn't party or anything like that.
00:55:15And there was a difference between P. Diddy's parties and the freak-off parties.
00:55:21The freak-off parties happened after the regular parties.
00:55:26So there is a possibility that J-Lo knew what was going on to some degree.
00:55:32But there's also the possibility that she just had no clue.
00:55:36So this ex-employee statements, it does give us a little bit of a different perspective on the whole thing.
00:55:42At least now we hear somebody that's speaking on behalf of J-Lo about this.
00:55:47But it's still a little bit surprising to me anyways that J-Lo herself hasn't come out
00:55:52and said anything at all to clear her own name.
00:55:55She's just been silent and she refuses to talk about anything to do with Diddy.
00:56:00So she's a big name for sure.
00:56:02And it's easy to lump celebrities like J-Lo in with Diddy.
00:56:06Especially if you're somebody that is really, really close to Diddy or was close to Diddy in some way.
00:56:12And if we were to go by what Taya D'Souza was saying about J-Lo,
00:56:17we see that J-Lo didn't live a lifestyle like the lifestyle that Diddy lived.
00:56:22But the theories about J-Lo are gonna continue to spread.
00:56:26This is my prediction here.
00:56:28Because she is so silent.
00:56:31And there's also a lack of concrete evidence that proves that she's in fact innocent.
00:56:37So, of course, what do you expect people to think?
00:56:40As more information does come out about the whole Diddy drama,
00:56:43we'll hopefully get some clear answers on where J-Lo actually stands in all of this.
00:56:49And more and more insiders are coming out as well, making claims.
00:56:52And some of them are remaining anonymous.
00:56:55So I'm not really quick to believe every single thing that's being said by these insiders.
00:57:02Especially if they're remaining anonymous.
00:57:04I know, I'm sure they have their own reasons for remaining anonymous.
00:57:08But it's just a little bit hard to believe every single thing that they say.
00:57:12Although I definitely, in this case, would give J-Lo the benefit of the doubt.
00:57:17But I'm really curious to know your thoughts about this.
00:57:19Do you think that J-Lo 100% knew exactly what Diddy was doing?
00:57:24Do you think that she was involved?
00:57:26Or do you think that she may have had an idea of what was going on but never knew the full scope?
00:57:31Or do you believe that she was totally innocent?
00:57:34I really want to know what you think.
00:57:37Maybe ending the relationship with Diddy was the smartest thing that she's ever done in her life.
00:57:58Here are some of the biggest secrets that Britney Spears exposed in her memoir.
00:58:03Britney Spears opened up about her past relationship with Justin Timberlake.
00:58:07And the unexpected pregnancy that they faced in their relationship.
00:58:20During their time together, Britney got pregnant.
00:58:23Which came as a surprise.
00:58:25But it wasn't considered a tragic event for her.
00:58:29She expressed her deep love for Justin and her anticipation of having a future family with him.
00:58:35However, Justin Timberlake, on the other hand, was not enthusiastic about the pregnancy at all.
00:58:42And said that they were way too young and unprepared to be parents.
00:58:46Britt says Justin definitely wasn't happy about the pregnancy.
00:58:49He said we weren't ready to have a baby.
00:58:52That we were way too young.
00:58:53So respecting Justin's wishes, she underwent the procedure to not have the baby.
00:58:59I had a lot of therapy.
00:59:01And then on top of that, Britney Spears revealed that during her relationship with Justin Timberlake,
00:59:07he actually cheated on her with another celebrity.
00:59:11Despite Justin saying that it was actually Britney Spears that cheated on him.
00:59:16By the way, this is according to a report from TMZ.
00:59:27However, Britney Spears does refrain from revealing the identity of the other woman in her book.
00:59:32Just to avoid any type of embarrassment.
00:59:34Also, in February of 2008, Britney Spears was placed under a conservatorship
00:59:39with her father, Jamie Spears, as one of the conservators.
00:59:43Mr. Spears loves his daughter Britney unconditionally.
00:59:46For 13 years, he has tried to do what is in her best interest.
00:59:50And in her memoir, Britney revealed the emotional torment that she endured
00:59:56from her father especially, until the conservatorship ended in November of 2021.
01:00:02So pleased and proud to say, Jamie Spears is no longer a conservator.
01:00:09She detailed how Jamie constantly criticized her body, causing deep emotional pain.
01:00:14And the hurt was so intense because of the criticism.
01:00:18It came from her own father, so that made it worse.
01:00:21And he repeatedly called her fat, as well as pressured her to change her appearance.
01:00:26Britney Spears has been faced with a decade-long nightmare,
01:00:30a cough gas nightmare, orchestrated by her father.
01:00:33And this ongoing criticism completely shattered her self-image
01:00:37and it created a soul-crushing experience for her.
01:00:40But despite her numerous achievements and accomplishments,
01:00:44her father's negative words left a lasting impact on her self-worth.
01:00:48Britney Spears then went on to reveal that her decision to shave her head in 2007
01:00:53was a direct response to the relentless judgment that she faced about her body throughout her life.
01:01:05And having been under all of that constant pressure and public scrutiny,
01:01:10she felt pushed to her limits.
01:01:12And then Britney went on to share this.
01:01:14Shaving my head and acting out were my ways of pushing back.
01:01:24However, this act of defiance marked a turning point for her.
01:01:29And once the conservatorship took effect, Britney's independence was severely restricted.
01:01:34She no longer had control over her appearance or her daily routine.
01:01:39Growing her hair out, as well as adhering to a specific body shape,
01:01:43following a strict bedtime, as well as taking prescribed medications,
01:01:48became a part of her new reality.
01:01:50That's just what she had to do.
01:01:52And I haven't been taking my medication.
01:01:54She had to follow the rules.
01:01:56Even something as small as, you gotta grow your hair out.
01:01:59And one of the saddest statements that she made in her memoir is the following.
01:02:03And take a listen because you can hear the emotion and hurt in her words.
01:02:08This is what Britney said.
01:02:34Despite these challenges and restrictions, though,
01:02:36Britney did manage to achieve remarkable milestones under her conservatorship.
01:02:46Like she released four albums.
01:02:48She did three world tours, as well as headlined a Las Vegas residency.
01:02:53Britney also opened up about the time filming her 2002 movie called Crossroads.
01:03:06And Britney Spears faced a new challenge at that time.
01:03:09It wasn't because of anybody that was involved in the production or anything like that.
01:03:13But rather, it was the impact that acting had on her mental state.
01:03:18Britney took on the role of a mother.
01:03:21Britney took on method acting.
01:03:23And that's a type of method where actors fully immerse themselves in their roles.
01:03:29And she had some surprising things to say about her acting experience.
01:03:35This is what she said.
01:03:41Some people do method acting, but they're usually aware of the fact that they're doing it.
01:03:46But I didn't have any separation at all.
01:03:49I ended up walking differently, carrying myself differently, talking differently.
01:03:53I was someone else for months while I filmed Crossroads.
01:04:04And then after Crossroads, Britney Spears was considered for the leading role in the film The Notebook.
01:04:10But she wasn't interested, and this is what she had to say about that.
01:04:13The Notebook casting came down to me and Rachel McAdams.
01:04:17And even though it would have been fun to reconnect with Ryan Gosling after our time on The Mickey Mouse Club, I'm glad I didn't do it.
01:04:25If I had, instead of working on my album In The Zone, I'd have been acting like a 1940s heiress day and night.
