Look, I'm sorry, but I'm beginning to think this guy's a real jerk.

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
You know, everyone keeps saying "the worst part is the hypocrisy," but I disagree. I think the worst part was the raping.
(I feel kind of bad making this joke in this thread, but on the other hand... Norm. So...)
Thats a bit premature /s
Like the Snoop Dogg case, I assume this will also be dropped sooner rather than later.
It's very hard to prosecute these historical cases, and going against someone this famous is doubly horrific for the victims, so I doubt he'll ever see justice.
Hope she at least gets a payout. And that 50 cent goes ahead with his documentary about it all, so the guy is thoroughly shunned for the rest of his life.
I missed the thing about 50 doing a documentary, and it's more fun to talk to humans than just Google something so... What's going on with that?
They've openly disliked each other for years. Rumour is that 50 Cent's production company is now making a documentary about the sexual assault allegations, although 50 hasn't cofirmed or denied it yet.
I don't know rap as much as some, but I have this sneaking suspicion 50 Cent is about to get shot again.
Yes, but he's built up a tolerance over the years, it probably won't affect him too much.
Bro is like gasoline, unleaded.
That actually sounds pretty interesting. 50 cent doesn't seem like a saint to me, but I'm curious how he would handle something like this.
Could be good!
Damn, I'd give that a watch.
wouldn't it be weird if fiddy came out the hero in all that early 'aught rap?
Three 6 will be the last two walking
Rumor is it will be titled "Surviving Diddy. "
This is his fourth case.
So at the very least the woman in this fourth case has a shot at some kind of justice.
This is a civil case, which has a lower standard of proof.
I thought he told you that he won't stop
This was at the bottom, and I had left the thread before I realized what I glimpsed. My god friend, well done.
He's gone downhill ever since Donkey Kong took the spotlight back from him
R Kelly -> Chris Brown -> Pee Diddley -> Kanye
When will it end?
When we stop celebrating narcissists and start punishing them for shitty behavior before they get this far.
Rich people facing consequences???? No we just can't have that.
Of course, they do all happen to be black and in the entertainment industry. MeToo doesn't quite reach "oil execs" yet.
It's wild that you can bring these lawsuits 20 years later. How is he supposed to defend himself when the Jane Doe only needs a preponderance of evidence? How can he produce an alibi after so long? Is there corroboration? I don't know how I feel about these super-old lawsuits.

I’m with you on this. Evidence should be required before any person on this planet is subject to infamy, time in a cage, or death.
The investigation should be quiet until evidence is collected that is sufficient for a charge in the first place.
I don’t know this man, I’m not a fan of his work, there is no bias in me for or against him. When we’re talking about upending a persons life, evidence should be everything.
Makeing the accusations public can help gather converting evidence. People will know if they have some information in support or defence of the allegations that they can come forward.
It also makes it easier for others that have been a victim of a similar crime by the accused and his associates. It's likely if this crime happened, it happened more than once and to many victims.
Correct. That's why there's a process called "discovery". The plaintiff brings their evidence to the table. The judge spends time deciding if the evidence is sufficient enough to go to court.
Remember when Diddy shot the guy in the club and gave his gun to JLo so he wouldn't get a murder/attempted murder charge?
Or that time when he threatened to blow us Kid Cudi's car, then someone blew up Kid Cudi's car? Sounds like there needs to be some more investigation here.
