Jeremy O. Harris walked free Monday after spending three weeks in Japanese custody following his arrest at Okinawa’s Naha Airport for allegedly attempting to bring MDMA into the country.
Harris, 36, was not formally charged and has since been released, his representative said. The writer of “Slave Play” plans to remain in Japan to continue research for a future project.
Before his arrest, Harris had been preparing to attend the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia to promote his indie road movie “Erupcja,” which features Charli XCX. His scheduled appearance was canceled after his detainment.
Japan is known for its rigid drug laws, with even minor drug offenses often leading to prolonged detention and legal consequences.
In a high-profile example, Paul McCartney was arrested in 1980 for marijuana possession and subsequently banned from the country for years.
Harris rose to prominence with the provocative Broadway hit “Slave Play” and has since expanded his reach into television, portraying fashion designer Grégory Elliot Duprée on Netflix’s “Emily in Paris.”
He’s also appeared in HBO Max’s “Gossip Girl” reboot and FX’s “What We Do in the Shadows.”
Diddy is moving toward a massive courtroom fight as he and his family prepare a $1 billion defamation lawsuit against Netflix in a clash that goes back to the most watched documentary on the platform right now. The rumored development arrives as attorneys for the Combs family push back at explosive claims featured in the 4-part series executive produced by 50 Cent.
The Netflix special has dominated viewing charts with more than 25 million streams and ignited a storm of allegations about the Hip-Hop mogul’s personal life. The project includes accusations that Diddy abused women, assaulted male employees, forced the Notorious B.I.G.’s family to cover funeral costs and even slapped fired out of his mother Janice Combs. Those claims traveled fast across social media as the series gained traction.
Representatives for Biggie’s estate contacted Media Take Out directly and disputed the suggestions about funeral expenses. According to the estate, the idea that Combs made the family pay for the legendary rapper’s funeral is completely false. The allegation is being described as inaccurate and unsubstantiated.
Janice Combs’ team followed with their own response after the documentary included claims that Diddy mistreated his mother. Her representatives rejected the narrative entirely and called it “deeply hurtful” and “fabricated,” adding fuel to the Combs family’s argument that Netflix allowed harmful material to flourish.
Inside Diddy’s camp, people familiar with the situation insist the project was built on unreliable interviews and misleading statements that mischaracterize his life at a critical moment.
One insider told MTO, “This documentary was made to assassinate his character. It isn’t journalism — it’s entertainment.” Their position is that the series goes beyond sensationalism and crosses into defamation as it presents what they view as fiction dressed up as fact. Interesting.
Behind the scenes, the family has hired one of the country’s most powerful firms with plans to seek at least $1 billion in damages, the source says. Sources say the number could rise if Netflix refuses to retract certain claims. If the case moves forward, it would eclipse the high profile $750 million defamation settlement reached in the fallout over the 2020 election. That comparison alone underscores how far the Combs family is willing to go.
Presently, Netflix stands behind the program while 50 Cent continues to comment online, creating a volatile mix of views, memes and more making this a complete spectacle. What began as a docuseries could become a legal showdown that could reshape celebrity defamation battles for years. Le Sigh.
Gene Deal’s just dropped explosive information that Diddy threatened to “drug” Danity Kane on the heels of Aubrey O’Day’s emotional scene in 50 Cent’s documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning.
The former bodyguard’s disturbing revelations connect directly to O’Day’s emotional breakdown in the documentary, where she learned for the first time about witness testimony alleging she was assaulted by Diddy and another man at Bad Boy studios in 2005.
“This s### is so crazy…because I heard him say it. But to know that he was doing it, it’s a whole nother f###### thing,” Gene Deal told The Art of Dialogue. “He said it. ‘I’ma drug them out and pimp them out to my n#####, they keep f###### with me.’ And he was talking about Danity Kane as a group. He didn’t single out any one of them. But to hear that he did it, that s### is crazy to me.”
Gene Deal’s interview becomes even more chilling when viewed alongside Aubrey O’Day describing how she appeared “sprawled out on a leather couch, looking very inebriated” during the alleged assault.
“Does this mean I was raped? Is that what this means?” O’Day asked through tears in the documentary. “I don’t even know if I was raped, and I don’t want to know.”
Deal’s allegations suggest O’Day’s condition that night wasn’t from voluntary drinking. The former bodyguard revealed he was disturbed after watching O’Day in the documentary.
To then hear O’Day’s text message confirming she was drugged and that Diddy was having sex with her was upsetting for him, as he realized the verbal threats he had heard were actually carried out.
“It makes you feel sick. I guess I wasn’t looking for it. But to see her pain, and to see that she had to experience some s### like that. The n#### was doing a lot of that s### right under your nose on the days that you wasn’t working or the days that you left early or you wasn’t around,” Deal said.
Aubrey O’Day has long maintained she was fired from Danity Kane for refusing Diddy’s sexual advances.
“I absolutely felt that I was fired for not participating sexually,” she stated in the Netflix documentary. The singer also revealed sexually explicit emails Diddy sent her while she was in the group, saying, “This is your boss at your work sending you that email. What happens in real life to anyone else? Your boss gets fired. Six months later, I was fired.”
The former bodyguard also revealed Diddy’s pattern of inappropriate behavior extended beyond Danity Kane.
Deal mentioned that Diddy “tries everybody,” recounting how Diddy “tried me before” by having two women in bed and inviting him to join. Deal declined the offer.
The revelations add another disturbing layer to the mounting allegations against Diddy, who was sentenced to 50 months in federal prison in October after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
He was acquitted of more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges.
The Netflix documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning, executive-produced by 50 Cent, premiered on December 2 and features never-before-seen footage of Diddy discussing his legal troubles just days before his September 2024 arrest.
The 20-year-old Bronx man who allegedly gunned down New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd outside a Manhattan nightclub now faces attempted murder charges that could send him to prison for decades.
Frederick Green surrendered to Buffalo police on Monday after the Regional Fugitive Task Force tracked him to his girlfriend’s apartment. He had been hiding there for nearly a month since the November 16 shooting that left Boyd fighting for his life.
The shooting happened around 4:30 A.M. outside Sei Less restaurant on West 38th Street. Boyd and teammates Irvin Charles and Jamien Sherwood had just left the upscale establishment when they got into a verbal dispute with another group.
“There’s a group outside who begin to, their words, begin to ‘chirp them’ about the clothing that they’re wearing, and are asking them: ‘Do you think you’re better than us?’” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said.
Boyd didn’t like the “vibe” inside the restaurant and only stayed about 10 minutes. But when the Jets players walked back outside, the same group confronted them again with verbal insults.
Doctors successfully removed the bullet from Boyd’s lung. He later posted on Instagram, thanking fans for their support: “I’m coming along, starting to breathe on my own now. Sincerely appreciate everyone!”
The suspect refused to answer questions about why he shot Boyd or whether he knew the victim played for the Jets.
Green has been charged with attempted murder, assault and criminal possession of a weapon.
Boyd remains on injured reserve for the Jets. The shooting occurred just as the team was fighting for a playoff spot in what many considered a make-or-break season.
Jay-Z’sMarcyPen Capital Partners unveiled a sweeping cross-continental play at Abu Dhabi Finance Week, rolling out plans for a $500 million fund aimed squarely at the soaring global demand for Korean culture.
The new vehicle, MarcyPen Asia, is designed to zero in on South Korean lifestyle and consumer brands that are ready to scale far beyond their home base, marking a striking fusion of Hip-Hop hustle and K-Pop culture momentum.
A majority-owned MarcyPen team based in Seoul will steer the effort as the fund targets growth-stage companies in entertainment, beauty, food and lifestyle. These are the sectors riding the wave of Korean influence that has swept across music, film and fashion in the past decade and shows no signs of slowing.
MarcyPen and Hanwha Asset Management will pinpoint opportunities on the ground in South Korea and create new pathways for Korean companies seeking to break into international markets.
MarcyPen Asia also reflects the broader philosophy of the firm co-founded by Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, Jay Brown, Larry Marcus, Robbie Robinson and D’Rita Robinson. From its headquarters in Beverly Hills, the investment group has consistently sought out companies positioned at the crossroads of culture, creativity and commerce.
This latest move extends that strategy into one of the most influential cultural engines in the world.
If the partnership succeeds, it could become a bridge between East and West that doesn’t just push brands into new markets but reshapes how cultural capital is invested.
By aligning Korean innovation with MarcyPen’s entertainment pedigree, the fund signals a new era of cooperation fueled by audiences who now consume art, beauty and lifestyle without borders.
Waka Flocka Flame unloaded on Diddy when he got stopped at LAX being questioned about watching Netflix’s Sean Combs: The Reckoning, calling the Hip-Hop mogul a “monster” over claims he played a role in Tupac’s murder.
The Atlanta rapper was caught by TikTok creator Joy of Everything and wasted no time being honest about how he felt after watching the four-part docuseries produced by 50 Cent.
“With all that bread, that boy a monster. That could be my own brother, and I would never f### with him a day in my life,” Waka said, standing in the airport, clearly disgusted.
We talk with Waka Flocka Flame about 50 Cent’s Diddy documentary The Reckoning, and his reaction says everything. Flocka makes it clear that if the allegations are true, Diddy is a “monster,” and even if he were his own brother, he’d disown him. As a 2Pac fan, Flocka says that if Diddy had anything to do with what people have long suspected, then it’s game over.
If you haven’t watched Sean Combs: The Reckoning yet, it’s been fanning flames online since it dropped. The series digs into decades of dark accusations against Diddy, including claims he helped fuel the deadly East Coast vs. West Coast beef and might have had a hand in the murders of both Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G.
One episode zeroes in on Duane “Keffe D” Davis, the former Southside Crip boss who got locked up in September 2023 for his alleged role in Tupac’s 1996 killing.
In his 2019 memoir Compton Street Legend, Keffe D claimed Diddy offered $1 million to have both Tupac and Suge Knight killed. He also said he passed the gun to his nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, the guy who allegedly pulled the trigger. Anderson was killed two years later in 1998.
Diddy’s legal team has been on defense, slamming the Netflix doc as a “shameful hit piece” and accusing the streamer of using “stolen footage that was never authorized for release.”
Waka, who’s always shown love for Tupac, made it crystal clear where he stands.
“I’m a 2Pac fan,” he said. “That n#### did anything to Pac, it’s f### him for life. Everybody that love that n####, it’s f### him.”
Meanwhile, Diddy is currently locked up at Fort Dix in New Jersey, serving a 50-month sentence for transporting two male escorts across state lines.
Keefe D has pleaded not guilty to one count of murder with the use of a deadly weapon and remains in custody. His trial is set take place in 2026.
Jennifer Lopez just turned a simple holiday chore into a full-body flex, dropping a new video that shows her stuffing a Christmas stocking while casually reminding everyone why she’s still one of the most sculpted women in entertainment, at any age.
The clip appears innocent at first: J Lo walking around her home, a cozy cropped sweatshirt on top and leggings on the bottom.
But once she steps in front of the fireplace, the whole tone switches. Her abs are carved, her waist is tight, and her backside looks like it was trained by a Navy SEAL and a Pilates instructor at the same time.
Every move, reaching, stretching, stuffing the stocking, turns into another reminder that her gym routine is not theoretical. It’s visible.
This isn’t filtered, staged promo either. It’s a candid-style moment inside her house, the kind of thing most people do in pajamas. Jennifer does it, looking camera-ready and athletic to the point of disbelief.
The leggings don’t just fit; they cling. Her glutes don’t just show; they sit high and locked, as if they’ve never taken a day off. And there’s a reason she’s pushing this hard right now.
J Lo is deep into preparation for her upcoming Las Vegas residency, set to kick off in 2025. She’s been training nonstop, rehearsing choreography, building her stamina, and maintaining the kind of shape required to perform multiple shows a week under Vegas lights.
Sources close to the production have said the residency will be one of her most physically demanding yet, with heavy dance numbers, costume changes, and a setlist leaning into her most energetic hits.
So this new video isn’t just holiday content. It’s a preview. Jennifer’s body looks stage-ready and she seems totally dialed in.
Cardi B blew the doors off Miami this weekend, turning a simple girls’ night out into a full-blown leather-clad, cleavage-loaded takeover that had everyone in the city doing double takes.
The rapper stepped out in a plunging black leather top zipped so dangerously low it looked like it was holding on through sheer willpower. Paired with lace-up leather pants and a neon-green bob sharp enough to slice through the humidity, Cardi walked in looking like she owned the night before it even started.
Inside the club? Chaos — the fun kind.
Cardi B threw her hands up and instantly got hit with a shower of dollar bills, like Miami collectively decided she deserved a tip just for showing up.
She laughed, danced, and let the cash stick wherever gravity felt like sending it, including right across the neckline she knew everyone was staring at anyway.
Then she took things outside and gave Miami the kind of marina photo op that shuts down timelines.
Cardi posed, turned, and displayed the full power of those leather pants, cinched, laced, and hugging every curve as if they were custom-made for her. The back shots alone could’ve sparked a heat advisory.
Fans online called the look “insane,” “peak Cardi,” and “Miami nightlife’s final boss.”
Cardi didn’t just have a girls’ night out — she turned Miami into a runway, a money storm, and a cleavage event all at once.
