River Donaghey grew up in a cult. Or at least that’s what some people called it. His parents called it a “personal-growth seminar group.” Its leader called it “one big happy family.” But there was a dark side to the world River grew up in. One he never heard about as a kid. In the 1970s and 80s, a self-help company called Lifespring took America by storm. Hundreds of thousands of people walked out of Lifespring as true believers, convinced that the seminars had the power to change the world. ...

Politics and Religion. We’re not supposed to talk about that, right? Wrong! We only say that nowadays because the loudest, most extreme voices have taken over the whole conversation. Well, we‘re taking some of that space back! If you’re dying for some dialogue instead of all the yelling; if you know it’s okay to have differences without having to hate each other; if you believe politics and religion are too important to let ”the screamers” drown out the rest of us and would love some engagin ...

Sean “Diddy” Combs Faces New Wave of Sexual Assault Lawsuits

The legal troubles surrounding Sean "Diddy" Combs have escalated as five new lawsuits accuse the music mogul of drugging and sexually assaulting both men and women over a two-decade span. The allegations, which range from 2001 to 2022, detail disturbing incidents at parties and events in New York City, Miami, and the Hamptons.
Filing anonymously under the names "Jane Doe" and "John Doe," the plaintiffs allege patterns of misconduct involving drugs, coercion, and threats to ensure silence. Two of the female plaintiffs claim they were minors at the time of the alleged assaults, while three male accusers describe being drugged and sodomized by Combs and his associates.
One of the most notable accusations centers on Combs' 2004 White Party in the Hamptons, where a seventeen-year-old Jane Doe claims she was forced to surrender her cell phone and purse before entering the event. According to the lawsuit, after consuming a drink provided at the party, she lost consciousness and woke up to find she had been sexually assaulted. She alleges that Combs and his bodyguards warned her to stay silent, stating, "He runs New York and would ruin her."
Another lawsuit details a 2001 casting call for a music video in New York City, where John Doe claims he was offered a Diet Coke that was laced with drugs. He recounts losing consciousness and waking up disoriented, realizing he had been assaulted by both Combs and his bodyguard.
Attorney Tony Buzbee, representing the plaintiffs, has publicly committed to holding Combs accountable. “These individuals were victimized by someone who used power and privilege as a shield. We will not stop seeking justice for these survivors,” he said. Buzbee and his co-counsel, Andrew Van Arsdale, have already filed twenty lawsuits against Combs, representing over one hundred plaintiffs, and have announced plans to continue filing weekly.
In response, Combs’ legal team has vehemently denied the allegations, labeling them as baseless and motivated by financial gain. “As his legal team has said before, Mr. Combs has full confidence in the facts and the integrity of the judicial process,” read a statement provided to CNN. “In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor.”
The allegations have also sparked legal pushback against Buzbee. An anonymous celebrity, reportedly implicated in the lawsuits, has filed a counterclaim accusing Buzbee of extortion. The celebrity alleges that Buzbee used “false and malicious” claims to pressure settlements, a charge Buzbee denies.
Currently, Sean Combs remains incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, awaiting trial on separate charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution. Prosecutors have indicated the possibility of additional charges or defendants being added before the trial commences.
As more allegations emerge, the entertainment industry faces renewed scrutiny over its handling of power dynamics and misconduct. For Combs, the lawsuits threaten not just his legal standing but also the legacy of a career that has shaped modern music and culture.
