  • Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sued for alleged 2001 rape

    Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs sued for alleged 2001 rape

    A woman who alleges Sean “Diddy” Combs drugged and violently raped her, filming the assault so he could sell it for the titillation of others, said Tuesday she was suing the rapper.

    Thalia Graves held a tearful press conference in Los Angeles, in which she said the emotional and mental pain from the 2001 attack remains with her.

    The 54-year-old Combs was indicted last week on three criminal counts that allege he sexually abused women and coerced them into drug-fueled sex parties using threats and violence.

    A spate of separate lawsuits, now including Graves’s, in the last year have painted the picture of a serial predator, sparking a massive fall from grace for the hip hop star.

    “It goes beyond just physical harm caused by and during the assault. It’s a pain that reaches into your very core of who you are, and leaves emotional scars that will never be fully healed,” she told reporters.

    “I’ve had PTSD, depression and anxiety. I’m emotionally scarred. It has been hard for me to trust others, to form healthy relationships, or even feel safe in my own skin.

    “Flashbacks, nightmares and intrusive thoughts make me feel like it’s a constant struggle.”

    In the criminal case, Combs is charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transporting victims across state lines to engage in prostitution.

    Prosecutors say Combs was the don of a criminal enterprise that ensnared women and forced them to commit sex acts under the threat of violence, financial insecurity and reputational ruin.

    – Mounting lawsuits –

    Allegations have been building against Combs since last year, when singer Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, alleged Combs subjected her to more than a decade of coercion by physical force and drugs as well as a 2018 rape.

    A spate of similarly lurid lawsuits since describe Combs as a violent man who used his celebrity to prey on women.

    Combs has pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges. He has been jailed awaiting trial.

    Graves’ lawyer, Gloria Allred, said her client’s claims were not part of the criminal indictment.

    Graves’ suit, filed in the Southern District of New York, says she met the rapper through her then-boyfriend, who worked at Combs’s Bad Boy Records.

    It details how Combs took her to his studio, giving her a glass of wine along the way that she believes was spiked. She says she lost consciousness shortly after arriving.

    When she woke up, she was naked and bound. But when she called for help, Combs’ associate Joseph Sherman smashed her head into a pool table.

    Combs and Sherman then raped her and she passed out again.

    The suit says the two men repeatedly warned her over the following years not to talk about the alleged assault.

    After Combs’s ex-girlfriend Cassie Venture went public with allegations about his criminal behavior last year, Graves discovered her assault had been taped and sold as pornography.

    The legal action demands compensatory and punitive damages, as well as other costs and fees.

  • MDCAT trends on X as students get swamped with problems

    MDCAT trends on X as students get swamped with problems

    Thousands of students from across the country appeared in the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MDCAT) on Sunday. Since then, social media is abuzz with allegations of paper leaks and mismanagement in the way exams were conducted.

    As per Dawn, leaked papers and mismanagement have been reported in six exam centres, whereas exams were held in five cities across Sindh. In NED University of Engineering and Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS), students and their parents had to go through trouble when they arrived. In some of the other centres, many had to wait for hours to enter the centre.

    Some reported that the MDCAT paper leaked at midnight, and it was 70 to 80 percent similar to the actual paper.

    However, Dow University has dismissed these allegations, stating that “the paper that went viral on social media is different from the MDCAT paper.”

    Videos of students protesting inside Shahid Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Medical University (SZABMU) against wrong answer keys of the multiple choice questions in the official exam have surfaced on social media.

    Students from Sindh posted pictures of alleged leaked questions and compared them with the original one, implying that rampant injustice was meted out to hardworking students.

    Some also posted about long lines outside Karachi’s NED University, pointing out the poor arrangements.

    Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) said in a statement, “In Lahore, there were eight centres but here in Karachi only two centres were set up. The students and their parents were humiliated.”

    Another student posted a screenshot of the denial of Dow University on Facebook, stating that the comments section was turned off. “Turning comments won’t turn off the truth. We demand accountability,” he stressed.

    Students from Islamabad also lamented the release of the wrong answer key by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council, which is affecting the expected result deeply.

    In Balochistan, students claim that some students were allegedly caught cheating during an exam in Quetta.

    As for the recent update, the students online are claiming that SZABMU has decided to award six grace marks to the students on the issue of wrong answer keys.

    Clashes continue: What is happening in Kurram?

    The local administration and grand jirga of Kurram district have not yet succeeded in putting an end to the on-going clashes that erupted between rival tribes of Bushehra and Ahmadzai following the construction of trenches on disputed land.

    The Nation reported that according to Kurram police officials, rival tribes exchanged fire on Tuesday at different parts of the tribal district, including Balashkhel, Khaar Kali, Trimanal, Baghki, Maqbal, and Kanj Alizai.

    When the matter was resolved, the brief pause was interrupted by a landmine explosion, followed by another phase of gunfire in Bushehra, which was then brought under control. The clashes, however, began in Upper and Lower Kurram.

    According to BBC Urdu, 15 individuals have lost their lives so far, from both Shia and Sunni sects, over dispute of land.

    Former Senator and tribal leader Sajid Turi claimed that grand jirga tried to resolve the dispute, but it ended in vain.

    Lambasting the incumbent government, he stated that in July, many jirga’s took place but none resolved the disputes between tribals because of government’s lack of interest and support.

    Previously, rival tribes clashed in the Kurram district on August 2, 2024, which resulted in 46 deaths and nearly 200 injuries. These clashes were also triggered by a land dispute.

    Fahad aur Hania ke bhi maze hain jab dil chaha characters break ker liye

    Ya’ll the whole stages of ishq scene was cute and stuff but i was more focused on the last stage, that is mout. I had to go back and see the first teaser of the drama and guess what i found!! “Sab kuch dao pe lag sakta hai, zindagi be”

    Does that mean— Couldn’t help crying in this scene…it was such a simple scene yet such nuanced writing and performance.
    The feeling of being let down by your own parents crushes you the most

     

     

     

     

  • Bilawal hon aur memes na hon, aisa kaisay ho sakta hai?

    Bilawal hon aur memes na hon, aisa kaisay ho sakta hai?

    Bilawal Bhutto Zardari unintentionally created a hilarious moment while talking to the media in Karachi on Monday.

    Replying to a question about the possibility of a Constitutional Court, he said, “We should think about that. Woh kehtay hain na, aap ungli daitay hain, woh poora….”. He then smilingly made a gesture that depicts length but could also be interpreted as an obnoxious one.

    It was only after the room erupted into laughter that he realised his mistake. “No, in angraizi. I’m not talking about…” he laughingly said as more laughs rang across the press conference. The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairperson then smilingly put his hand to his forehead.

    He said that he was referring to the English saying, ‘If you give an inch, they will take a mile.’

    Bilawal then started talking about Article 186 of the Constitution but broke off mid-sentence to say, “Taubah, jo memes bannain gay.” Members of the media again burst into laughter.

    Expect a deluge of memes in the coming days on the slip of the tongue.
