Oscar-winning actor Cuba Gooding Jr. has responded to allegations linking him to a bunch of people involved in a civil lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The lawsuit filed by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones alleges sexual harassment and assault by the Bad Boy founder and names a number of celebrities, including Prince Harry, Yung Miami, 50 Cent’s ex Daphne Joy, influencer Jade Ramey, Kristina Khorram, a senior executive level. at Bad Boy Entertainment, in addition to Universal Music Group CEO Lucian Grainge and his son.

A federal criticism filed in February and later amended on March 25 covering the “Jerry Maguire” actor alleges that Diddy groomed the 39-year-old to pass him on to his friends, including Gooding, for sexual purposes.

On the “PBD” podcast hosted by Patrick Bet-Davis, the “Fighting Temptations” star not only denies the veracity of these claims, but suggests that the producer is grasping at straws by including various stars in an try and strengthen his case. According to Gooding, he barely knows Diddy and has only met him a number of times together with his girlfriend.

Mr. “Show Me the Money” says his girlfriend Claudine De Niro (ex-wife of Robert De Niro’s son Raphael) was Diddy’s publicist and she or he was the one who introduced them. She also took Gooding to the Bad Boy CEO’s yacht party in query.

“I didn’t meet him probably until the 2019-20 season,” Bet-Davis said, before explaining the circumstances of his presence on the event Jones was at.

“(Diddy) invited us to his house. It is thought that the pandemic has began to subside. I have not seen him since that night,” Gooding said.

He then noted that on New Year’s Eve, he and Claudine were party hopping, going from boat to boat, hanging out with world boxing champion Mike Tyson and music giant Drake.

“There will probably be 300 of us on board P. Diddy’s boat on New Year’s Eve,” the actor said.

Gooding, who was named in several sexual harassment and assault lawsuits in the course of the height of the #MeToo movement, said the one reason he was around Jones was to take heed to music.

“Want to hear P. Diddy’s new song? I replied, “Yes, of course,” the actor continued. “Sit next to him (he says as he pulls out the live image to show the host). They didn’t take advantage of that angle.”

Diddy’s accuser and music producer Lil Rod joined Cuba Gooding Jr. to his sexual assault lawsuit against the rapper.

The photo Gooding showed the host allegedly shows how briskly the moment was, the festive atmosphere and captured the loud sounds of music and merrymaking.

– You made it look the best way you wanted it to. Here we just take heed to music. “Finish it, I took the thing off, told him everything I said and left,” he explained. – But this guy suing him wants money.

– By the best way, I do not know P. Diddy’s life. I do not know what he’s going through,” Gooding said. – We were friends, like I just showed you. I saw him two or 3 times.

Beth-David asked, “Then why did he include you in this?”

Gooding guessed, “Because of the darkness in the second grip, grip, grip of things I’ve already gone through.”

On June 13, 2019, the “Radio” star, who was punished with six misdemeanors for alleged sexual harassment, turned himself in to the authorities. The charges against Gooding were made by bartender Natasha Ashworth.

He failed to answer the lady’s criticism, which led her to ask for a default judgment against him in January 2021. During this time, he didn’t retain the help of a civil attorney and didn’t file a response on his own behalf.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Alexander Tisch granted Ashworth’s motion for default judgment on his assault and battery claims. Gooding avoided trial by pleading guilty to 1 misdemeanor count of forcibly touching a lady at a New York nightclub in 2018, almost three years in a while April 13, 2022.

Interestingly, Jones had been considering taking legal motion against Diddy for a while and even tried to crowdfund money to sue.

Three weeks before the primary lawsuit, which didn’t name Gooding, was filed, the producer publicly aired his complaints about alleged underpayment for his work on Diddy’s album “The Love Album: Off the Grid.”

Jones’ frustration together with his strained working relationship with Diddy first gained attention when he initiated a GoFundMe campaignasking for donations of $50,000 to interact legal representation to pursue its publishing interests, royalties and compensation for its contributions as a producer.

So far, Lil Rod has raised just over $5,975.

Diddy’s legal team says that is proof that his allegations are a fraud.

Chris Rock got the last laugh when he turned his infamous clash with Will Smith on the 2022 Oscars into the large joke of the night in the course of the “Selective Outrage” special.

But the comic is not the just one who hoped to use Rock and the controversial encounter as a funny moment. Likewise Jerry Seinfeld.

The Emmy Award-winning comedy actor revealed in a recent interview that his recent film “Unfrosted” was originally written with the “Saturday Night Live” alum in mind. The Netflix film centers around Kellogg and Post’s war to revolutionize breakfast by creating Pop-Tarts.

On “Fly on the Wall PodcastSeinfeld said Chris was supposed to appear in the movie awards scene.

“The other thing I wanted to do, and I almost did, was that Chris Rock was going to be the emcee of the Bowl & Spoon Awards — and we were shooting that night after Will Smith hit,” Seinfeld said. “I wanted someone to get on stage and Chris knock them down when they got there.”

In the film, Cedric The Entertainer plays award show host Stu Smiley. Unlike Seinfeld’s original vision, he doesn’t meet anyone. The “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” creator said that Rock turned down the acting gig because he “wasn’t right for the show” and that he “was a little shaken by this event,” which occurred shortly before the scene was scheduled to be filmed.

The humorist was punched by Smith on stage while presenting the award for best documentary. Seconds before the movie star punched his peer, Chris made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s baldness. The Oscar winner returned to his seat, where he angrily shouted, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth!”

“That’s what the scene was supposed to look like, but Cedric saved the day. I love Cedric,” Seinfeld explained. When podcast co-host Dana Carvey suggested there’s still a “residual darkness” for the time being, the “Unfrosted” director said that is what draws people in. “I do not know if it will work. It was an idea,” he added.

“William Smith was punished by the Academy and the general public, and Chris Rock made a lot of cash from what happened to him. It’s time to let it go,” we read post in response to the reveal of “Unfrosted”.

Other person he stated it was an “inappropriate request.” Third comment read: “So first they were terrified and traumatized, but then they wanted to mock it in a pop tart movie… Be serious!”

While several others called Seinfeld a “hack” because they thought the parody was a good idea to begin with.

The creator of “Everybody Hates Chris” only addressed the general public debate in his comedy special. And although Smith claims he contacted Chris to apologize, there continues to be no agreement between them.

Tony Rock, Chris’ younger brother, worked with Smith for 4 years on “All of Us” in the early 2000s. He said he and the Hollywood heavy hitter were friends until the slap.

“I still feel like he owes me five minutes of conversation. I’m not saying it’s a struggle. I’m not saying it’s aggressive shit. “I feel like man to man, considering who we were to each other, you owe me a five-minute conversation, you hit my brother on national television, brother,” Tony said when he recently appeared on “My expert opinion“

Smith is currently preparing for the fourth installment of the “Bad Boys” series with Martin Lawrence.

The film is scheduled for release on June 7, but reports speculate that fans have seen little or no of him as he allegedly limits his interviews to avoid talking about his affairs along with his estranged wife and the Oscars blowout.

Wendy Davis, the now-viral “woman in the blue dress” who danced on “The Steve Harvey Show,” has appeared to reply about her infamous TV resurgence.

The clip of her showing off her twerk moves is from 10 years ago, but has recently grow to be a trend amongst TikTokers who cannot stop performing her dance and bop choreographies.

The flight attendant noted that, then 33 years old, she became an overnight social media star after being repeatedly tagged in reenactment clips. She recently joined in on the lighthearted banter by recreating a dance sequence in a blue top and black leggings.

“You still got it!!” – exclaimed one among the people in the comments to the video. Another follower declared, “Nobody does it better than the original! This is energyyyy.”

In a post dedicated to the stories, Davis explained that she has been recognized for her talk show appearances over the past decade. She said her quarter-hour of fame began after she answered an ad to look on a dating show. Once chosen, she was informed that it was Harvey’s daytime series and ready herself for the questions she could be asked.

Even though she got here up with a few of her own, she ended up getting one which the crew members got here up with. She said the producer explained that the “Ask Steve” episode was a chance for the host to show off his comedic skills.

Davis then recalled being asked if she would feel comfortable dancing. She obliged. “I’m similar to rattling, why not. I’m already here. Let me just have a good time, have a good time; I live my life, don’t I,” said the bubbly personality.

The query aired was whether it was a good idea for her to quit her job to become profitable by posting twerking videos. Ultimately, Harvey invited her on stage to prove that she had what it takes to money in on her jiggly rump. “This was the result and I really had a lot of fun with it,” the model added.

Now 43, Davis said that “that video goes viral like every few years… But this time it was like… ‘you are going viral on ICT Tok.’ … I didn’t understand it was like that,” she said with a laugh as she realized how many movies had been made this time. “Yes, I am a TikTok aunt,” she joked.

Due to the growing trend of exploiting viral moments, Davis stated that she plans to proceed partying and is open to exploring ways to monetize her fame.

This yr, TikTok went viral after the 50-part query “WTF did I get married?” content creator Reesa Tessa’s series captivated thousands and thousands along with her crazy tale of marrying a man she knew almost nothing about.
