After everything, Diddy received only two convictions and a mere 50-month sentence.

Many are expressing their horror — not only for victims, but for our society and our justice system.

Usher, however, insists that he doesn’t have a single negative thing to say about the alleged sex trafficker.

He believes that Diddy has been “misrepresented,” and sings his praises.

Well, this is disappointing

During an interview with Forbes‘ The Enterprise Zone, Usher seemed to have only nice things about the disgraced criminal whom he views as a “mentor.”

The singer played a game of word-association. When “Diddy” came up, he didn’t go with “crime” or “Cassie” or “baby oil” as many might.

Instead, Usher’s most associated word, he claimed, was: “Legacy.”

He admitted that he has a “controversial” opinion, which is that “we can’t ignore the reality of the history.”

“In many ways, I think certain people are prosecuted and maybe not recognized for the greatness that they offer,” Usher then claimed.

Usher’s next line was truly shocking. Perhaps not surprising, but shocking.

“I don’t have anything negative to say about Sean Combs,” he announced, “because my experience was not what the world has seen and how he’s been misrepresented.”

That first part of the explanation is the usual annoying line — someone insisting that, because they are not personally a victim, it’s fine for them to speak in support of someone.

It’s at the end that Usher takes a more sinister turn.

He claims that Diddy has “been misrepresented.”

‘And that’s why I see him as legacy’

“I can’t, with any sense of humanity, not recognize the valuable contributions that this man made for us as Black entrepreneurs,” Usher insisted.

He continued: “For us as businessmen, for us as people who transition culture and ideas into something that’s tangible and becomes business.”

Usher acknowledged: “So many people benefited from what he created. And I acknowledge that.”

Yes, powerful and wealthy men often get away with their heinous deeds because others benefit from their wealth.

He added: “And that’s why I see him as legacy.”

Usher also praised “Puff” as “a mentor.”

He likened Diddy to a “really, really hard teacher” who was able to educate him “in real time.”

Usher continued: “I put respect on his name.”

He explained that this is “because I realized that what I learned as a businessman before I even understood what business was came as a result of seeing the incredible things that he was able to do.”

Saying businessman once again, Usher added: “And the way that he positioned himself as a businessman.”

What does this mean for Usher fans?

As for what we should take from this … a profound sense of disappointment, albeit without feeling truly surprised.

There is a horrific video of Diddy and Cassie Ventura, one that we won’t describe here. And she is not his only alleged victim.

The idea that anyone would support the man after seeing that should be unthinkable. But, sadly, it is not.

We live in a world where men will bend over backwards to defend other men — because condemning them is inconvenient, because they feel a misplaced sense of loyalty, or because they fear facing justice themselves.

In Usher’s case, this looks like a case of misplaced loyalty. Which is perhaps why he has such a beef with Justin Bieber these days, since the Biebs clearly doesn’t feel the same way.

As we previously reported, Joseph Duggar was arrested last week for allegedly molesting a nine-year-old girl during a Florida vacation in 2020.

His wife, Kendra Caldwell, was also taken into custody, but unlike Joseph, she was allowed to post bail.

Joe remains behind bars, and as another Duggar abuse scandal unfolds, members of his family are sharing their insights.

Already, Amy Duggar expressed her views on the situation, and Jill Duggar made a statement through her representative.

Now, Jinger Duggar and her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, have addressed Joseph and Kendra’s arrest on the latest episode of their podcast.

“This was devastating news to hear,” Jeremy said on Wednesday, noting that “it’s been a really difficult week” for the pair.

“It’s been one of those weeks that feels like years. And I did not think my heart could break like it has this week,” Jinger chimed in, adding

“The pain and heartbreak that we’ve had over this and just thinking of how it’s affected so many, yeah, it’s just unthinkable. So hard and painful on many levels.”

Jeremy added that he and Jinger are “thinking about the victim who was brave enough” to come forward with the allegations against Joseph, 31.

“Just the effect on that young person’s life is unimaginable,” he explained.

“And then to see the ripple effect of that horrific crime across the board … I think that’s been for me, the forefront of my mind is just thinking [about] the horror of a crime like that affecting so many for so many years,” Jeremy continued, adding:

“Where do we go from here? We are praying for the victim. We are praying for all of those affected.”

This, of course, is not the first time that the Duggars have been in this sort of situation.

In 2021, Jinger’s eldest brother, Josh Duggar, was convicted on charges of possessing and distributing child sexual abuse materials.

He is currently behind bars and is not scheduled for release until 2032.

Jinger alluded to that situation when discussing the scandal involving Joseph.

“You can’t be prepared for news like this —–even though we’ve experienced something very similar before with one of my other siblings who made unthinkable choices and decisions that have affected all of us,” she said, adding:

“And yet, the pain and hurt that’s caused to us … it’s hard to know what to do sometimes, moving forward. You just feel the weight of it.”

It’s unclear at this point if Joseph will eventually be granted bail or if he will be forced to remain behind bars as he awaits trial.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

There’s more than one toxic couple on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

Viewers remember Jessi’s alleged emotional affair and her accusation that husband Jordan Ngatikaura had been emotionally abusive.

Now, their 5-year-marriage is over.

Jessi says that Jordan threatened to blackmail her — even though he had cheated with “escorts” and “orgies.”

This is not shaping up to be an amicable divorce

During the Wednesday, March 25 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Jessi put Jordan on blast.

She claimed to be in possession of “proof and screenshots” that Jordan Ngatikaura was unfaithful during their marriage.

Rather than accusing him of having a mistress, she says that he hired escorts — full service sex workers.

“He denied it when I brought it to him, but … it was real,” Jessi said during the recording.

She added that the woman from the escort service had “sent so much proof.”

According to Jessi, she also believes that Jordan attended “orgies or sex parties.”

She heard this from her sister, who heard it from someone else who attends.

According to Jessi’s thirdhand info, her ex was “always there” at these parties.

Though some adult gatherings like these will check to avoid cheaters, most are more interested in making sure that everyone’s clean of STIs and that everyone is all-around trustworthy and safe.

No one wants to be the means by which someone betrays their spouse, but the honor system is usually enough. When it isn’t, cheaters can take advantage of what should be a night of innocent fun.

How did she decided to end the marriage?

According to Jessi, these “betrayals” were the “final straw” for her, not the sole reason for ending the marriage after 5 years.

On March 13, she “literally woke up one day” and realized that she had the power to “change” things — by divorcing Jordan.

However, she says that he “blindsided” her after the breakup.

Jordan filed for divorce six days later — before they had a chance to tell their children, 5-year-old Jagger and 3-year-old Jovi.

As a result, Jessi laments, there’s a hostile vibe that she’d hoped to avoid.

Jordan’s divorce filing claims that he, not she, is ending the marriage, and that the reason for this split is her “affair.”

Remember when Jessi was on Vanderpump Villa and had an emotional affair with Marciano Brunett — one that went so far as to include a kiss?

Well, Jessi says that Jordan blackmailed her, threatening to release her texts with Marciano.

Obviously, when the world found out, that alleged blackmail threat went away.

But that’s incredibly toxic for a marriage — even if Jordan had not allegedly been cheating on her left and right in a far more physical capacity.

Their marriage probably should have ended years ago

Prior to this (hopefully final) split, Jordan and Jessi have separated three times.

While it is not normal for couples to “fight all of the time,” it is normal for long-term relationships to have high and low points.

But alleged blackmail and multiple separations aren’t really the kinds of low points from which most couples can — or should — simply bounce back.

Obviously, we here at THG have not personally reviewed Jessi’s evidence against Jordan.

Perhaps we will learn more as these exes battle it out in court.

Jessi Draper Says Jordan Ngatikaura Cheated with ‘Escorts’ & … was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.
