Sean “Diddy” Combs’ mother, Janice Combs, spoke up in defence of the music mogul, who is facing trial for sex trafficking and racketeering, in addition to numerous sexual assault allegations.

“It is heartbreaking to see my son judged not for the truth, but for a narrative created out of lies,” she said in the statement, which Page Six obtained from her legal team, the Law Office of Natlie G. Figgers, on Sunday.

“To bear witness what seems to be like a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words. Like every human being, my son deserves to have his day in court, to finally share his side, and to prove his innocence.”

“I am not here to portray my son as perfect because he is not. He has made mistakes in his past, as we all have,” she continued in the statement.

“My son may not have been entirely truthful about certain things, such as denying he has ever gotten violent with an ex-girlfriend when the hotel’s surveillance showed otherwise.”

Janice also shared her thoughts on why she believes Diddy chose to settle with Cassie out of court in November 2023.

“Sometimes, the truth and a lie become so closely intertwined that it becomes terrifying to admit one part of the story, especially when that truth is outside the norm or is too complicated to be believed,” Diddy’s mother said.

“This is why I believe my son’s civil legal team opted to settle the ex-girlfriend’s lawsuit instead of contesting it until the end, resulting in a ricochet effect as the federal government used this decision against my son by interpreting it as an admission of guilt.”

The mother also addressed the numerous allegations that came forward after the lawsuits.

“Not being entirely straightforward about one issue does not mean my son is guilty of the repulsive allegations and the grave charges leveled against him,” Janice said.

“Many individuals who were wrongfully convicted and later exonerated had their freedom taken from them not because they were guilty of the crimes they were accused of, but because they didn’t fit the image of what this society considers to be a ‘good person.’ History has showed us how individuals can be wrongfully convicted due to their past actions or mistakes.”

Madonna paid a tribute to her late brother Christopher Ciccone after he died battling cancer at the age of 63 on Friday.

“My brother Christopher is gone,” the Material Girl hitmaker began a lengthy caption over a post, taking to her Instagram page on Sunday. “He was the closest human to me for so long. Its [sic] hard to explain our bond.”

“But it grew out of an understanding that we were different and society was going to give us a hard time for not following the status quo.”

“We took each other‘s hands and we danced through the madness of our childhood

In fact dance was a kind of superglue that held us together. Discovering Dance in our small Midwestern town saved me and then my brother came along, and it saved him too,” she added.

“My ballet Teacher, also named Christopher- created a safe space for my brother to be Gay. a word that was not spoken or even whispered where we lived. When I finally got the courage to go to New York to become a Dancer. My brother followed. And again we took each other’s hands, and we danced through the madness of New York City!” the Queen of Pop continued.

“We devoured Art and Music And Film like hungry animals we were in the epicenter of all of these things exploding. We danced through the madness of the AIDS epidemic. We went to funerals and we cried, and we went dancing. We danced together on stage in the beginning of my career and eventually, he became the Creative Director, of many tours. When it came to good taste, my brother was the Pope, and you had to kiss the ring to get his blessing.”

Further continuing, she wrote, “We defied the Roman Catholic Church, The Police, the Moral Majority and all Authority figures that got in the way of Artistic freedom! My brother was right by my side.”

“He was a painter a poet and a visionary. I admired him. He had impeccable taste. And a sharp tongue, Which he sometimes used against me but I always forgave him. We soared the highest heights together And floundered in the lowest lows. Somehow, we always found each other again and We held hands and we kept dancing,” the 66-year-old popstar shared.

“The last few years have not been easy We did not speak for sometime but When my brother got sick. We found our way back to each other. I did my best to keep him alive as long as possible. He was in so much pain towards the end Once again, we held hands We closed our eyes and we danced.”

“Together. I’m glad he’s not suffering anymore. There will never be anyone like him. I know he’s dancing somewhere,” Madonna concluded her tribute.

Ciccone’s representative shared with Page Six that he passed away peacefully in Michigan, surrounded by his loved ones, including his husband Ray Thacker and other family members.

Olivia Munn still hasn’t figured out one common mom-hack.

On Sunday, October 6, the X-Men: Apocalypse star, posted a video on Instagram asking fellow mothers for tips on properly using a baby wrap. 

In the video, she explained how she wanted to ensure her 3-week-old daughter, Méi, could be safely close to her chest while walking around.

“I know I’m doing this wrong, which is why I’m not letting her go,” Munn started the video, which featured her standing in her kitchen looking casual in a white T-shirt and glasses and holding Méi in a patterned wrap.

“But I have wanted to do one of these mom wraps since Malcolm was a baby, but I could never figure it out. It’s so difficult,” she continued, talking about the couple’s 2-year-old son.

“If you don’t know what this is, it’s a big, long cloth that you wrap around and it holds your baby tight to you and you can be hands-free — but I just can’t figure it out.”

Munn praised mothers who have mastered the skill, calling them “queens,” and admitted she’s still on the lookout for the best tutorial to help her securely wrap her daughter.

“This is so difficult. It’s more difficult than origami,” she continued. “It is so crazy. I don’t know how to do this. I’ve watched every YouTube, Instagram, TikTok. And moms will tell you that it’s not difficult but it is. It’s so hard.”

Some mom-fans offered help.

“Is there a sling/wrap library near you?” one came to help in the comments section. “I went to one and the ladies helped me to figure it out and showed me different options. If you struggle with the wrap, you could always use a carrier. You can find ones suitable for newborns and they are very easy to use.”

Andrew Garfield shed some light on his comfortable relationship with Florence Pugh on the set of their new movie We Live in Time.

During a discussion on Friday at 92NY, the Golden Globe winner recalled filming one “very intimate, passionate sex scene” with Pugh on a closed set, where the cinematographer Stuart Bentley had to look away.

“The scene becomes passionate, as we choreographed it,” he said, as per Deadline.

“And we get into it as it were, and we go a little bit further than we were meant to because we didn’t hear ‘cut’ and it’s feeling safe. And we’re just kinda like, ‘Ok, we’ll just go into the next thing, we’ll let this progress, and we’ll just carry on.’

Garfield added, “And at a certain point, both of us, we’re both kind of telepathically saying to each other, ‘This definitely feels like a longer take.’ … I look up, and in the corner is Stuart and our boom operator. Stuart has the camera by his side and he’s turned into the wall.”

This may have been a result of the “safe” environment on the set of the movie, for which Pugh praised director John Crawley at the movie’s world premiere at Toronto International Film Festival last month.

“I wouldn’t have been able to do any of the stuff without the safety. Neither of us would be here without John’s space that he provided for us,” she said.
