Many recalled how Wendy had been vocal about Diddy’s behavior during her time as a radio DJ and TV host, with one user writing, "Yes, Katt Williams exposed certain people in the industry. However, Wendy Williams also exposed specific industry figures, including Diddy. Diddy reportedly had her fired from her original radio show & blackballed her from the industry."

Fans also expressed disbelief that other prominent figures in the industry were allegedly unaware of Diddy’s actions.
"So apparently Wendy Williams was exposing what diddy was up to in the 90s! She believed that Diddy was the reason she lost her radio show. How is it possible that we knew and Wendy knew, but Diddy's friends like Jay Z and Beyonce were just clueless?" one user questioned.

Diddy was arrested by Homeland Security at NYC Hotel
Sean 'Diddy' Combs was arrested on the evening of September 16, 2024, at the Park Hyatt New York hotel by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents.
The arrest is part of a federal investigation into sex trafficking, according to reports from the LA Times. The indictment, issued by the Southern District of New York (SDNY), remains sealed, leaving the specific charges unclear.
However, details of the indictment are expected to be revealed during Diddy' arraignment in Manhattan federal court.
USA Damian Williams: Earlier this evening, federal agents arrested Sean Combs, based on a sealed indictment filed by the SDNY. We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time.

Diddy's arrest follows months of legal scrutiny, including a raid on his home earlier this year.
The music mogul has faced allegations of domestic violence and was recently sued by his former partner, R&B singer Cassie Ventura, a case that was swiftly settled. A resurfaced video from 2016, allegedly showing Combs assaulting Ventura, has fueled additional public backlash amid his mounting legal troubles.
