And it's a shame. I didn't know much about him, I'm older and he wasn't in my orbit. The brutal video of him beating the hell out of that poor girl got my attention....I've been doing a bit of a deep dive, nothing like what I'm guessing you do re: research, but I learned enough to know that damaged children grow up to be damaged adults...and that man was damaged....and instead of finding mentors to help himself shift toxic behaviors learned at his dad's knee, he role modeled him. And that's the shame of it all....he had talents that gave him the chance to take a different path...#toxicmasculinity is an understatement....I enjoy your posts on TikTok and came here, where I also have a page, and now am a subscriber.

I've also been doing a deep dive myself and I knew who he was artistically. I happened upon a story teller on YT (Ashley says so) she deep dives old Hollywood Scandal etc. Recently she was asked to delve into Puffy's past. You may be spot on him being a damaged child. It was discovered that the Catholic school he attended where he was an alter boy had multiple allegations in print media of boy's being SA'd. There is no proof or anyone alleging him being one of the boy's but I'm reminded of the old adage, "where there's smoke, there's fire." When she alluded that he was an alter boy, my antenna went up.

Crazy. We knew Puffy was "wild," but these stories coming out are beyond what I expected. Thankfully, karma doesn't have a calendar.

It's the Conan with Diddy clip that haunts me. He was openly saying some of the more sinister stuff as far back as that.
