Speak up! I hope you get charged as an accessory before, during, or after each crime. Everyone who’s been around Diddy has seen his bad behavior. Many of you might not take Jaguar Wright seriously, and we might not agree with everything she says, but there’s one thing we should all agree on: anyone close to Diddy should be held accountable for knowing what was happening behind the scenes, including Mary J. Blige. The internet is calling her out for being aware of Diddy’s crimes.
When I first met Puff, I was afraid of success and of doing anything that would draw too much attention to me. He was the complete opposite. His ambition pushed me to be ambitious, and that was exactly what I needed.
We all know that Mary J. Blige and Diddy are basically best friends. The only time they weren’t on the same page was when Mary J. started using drugs. She even admitted that it was her fault they fell out. In her words:
“The reason we split up was because I didn’t understand the business as well as I should have at the time. Any smart man or businessman would have distanced himself from me. It felt like he was becoming distant, but looking back, I now understand why. I wasn’t delivering properly and I wasn’t taking care of my health. How could he take a chance on me?”
After they rekindled their relationship, Mary J. and Diddy have remained solid. They still appear to be very close, with Diddy saying earlier in 2023 that Mary J. Blige is one of the greatest storytellers in R&B history. He praised her for creating a space for women around the world to speak their truth to power and said that nobody deserves success more than she does. Mary J., in turn, speaks highly of Diddy, calling him her best and her mentor, someone she really looks up to.
Critics like Jag argue that Mary J. must have known what was happening.
“You’re an ignorant, disloyal, ungrateful [ __ ], and I’ll call you a B until you start acting like a woman. That fancy dog collar Puff put around your neck thirty years ago should have gotten tight by now. It doesn’t feel like a new Mary, baby.”
Rumors also suggest that Mary J. Blige was aware of the Cassie video that’s been circulating. The video allegedly shows Diddy repeatedly using Cassie as a punching bag. Cassie mentioned the incident in her lawsuit, describing how Diddy, extremely intoxicated in March 2016, punched her in the face, giving her a black eye. After Diddy fell asleep, she tried to leave the hotel room, but he woke up, followed her into the hallway, and yelled at her. Cassie’s lawsuit also states that Diddy grabbed her and threw glasses at her, causing glass to shatter around her as she ran to the elevator. Diddy later paid the InterContinental Century City $50,000 for the hallway security footage.
Upon seeing the video, it became clear that Cassie hadn’t described the full extent of what happened. The footage from March 5, 2016, shows Diddy and Cassie at the old InterContinental Hotel in Century City, LA. In the clips, you can see Cassie leaving a hotel room heading for the elevators. Then, Diddy, wearing only a towel, sprints down the hall and starts attacking her. He retrieves a purse and suitcase from the floor near the elevators and continues his assault on Cassie, who lies on the floor, unable to move. After a few seconds, he briefly drags her by her sweatshirt toward a room before walking away.
Many of you have likely seen the video, showing Diddy shoving her and throwing objects at her. Disgusting doesn’t even begin to describe it. The next part isn’t visible in the footage, but Cassie reportedly took a cab to her apartment. Realizing that running away would anger Diddy even more, she returned to the hotel to apologize. When she got back, hotel security staff urged her to leave again, having seen the security footage of her altercation with Diddy in the hallway.
Diddy issued an apology, but people are skeptical since he has consistently denied the allegations. His apology reads:
“I hit rock bottom, but I made no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions. I’m disgusted by what I did then, and I’m disgusted now. I sought professional help, went to therapy and rehab, and asked God for mercy and grace. I’m truly sorry and committed to being a better man each day. I’m not asking for forgiveness; I’m truly sorry.”
However, many feel his apology is insincere. Even if he avoids prison, they hope his career is over.
Meanwhile, Mary J. Blige is facing backlash as people comment on her social media, accusing her of knowing about Diddy’s actions. She continues to post photos, seemingly unaffected. Some speculate that Mary J. Blige has remained silent because she experienced similar abuse. Allegations suggest that when she was with Diddy, she may have faced mistreatment akin to what Cassie endured. In her Amazon documentary, Mary J. Blige hinted at past traumas she would never disclose.
Kim Porter allegedly mentioned in her unpublished book that Mary J. Blige was once pregnant by Diddy and that he forced her to terminate the pregnancy. This aligns with other accusations about Diddy’s behavior. Gina Huynh, another of Diddy’s exes, recounted abuse and claimed Diddy paid her to terminate several pregnancies. She shared:
“I told him I was pregnant, and he said, ‘You’re getting rid of it, right?’ He offered me $50,000 to terminate it, but I turned it down because I loved him.”
It’s possible Mary J. Blige experienced something similar. She once expressed fear that she would meet a tragic fate similar to Aaliyah’s, saying:
“When I saw Aaliyah die, I knew I was next. I didn’t know how or when, but I felt I was next. I was scared of what kind of freak accident or overdose they would arrange.”
These stories paint a disturbing picture of Diddy’s relationships and the possible impact on those close to him.
It’s entirely plausible that Mary J. Blige endured similar hardships with Diddy, akin to other women’s experiences. However, whether Diddy also mistreated her or if she was complicit in his actions, the prevailing sentiment is that she knew but chose to remain silent.
There’s speculation circulating: maybe she’s already cooperating with authorities. Remember when Diddy’s properties were being searched and arrests were made? Mary J. shared a cryptic message on Instagram: “Unfortunately, many of you knew me when I lacked boundaries and was overly accommodating. Allow me to reintroduce myself. I sever ties when necessary.”
For many, this seemed like Mary J. was ready to distance herself from Diddy. But what’s your take? Does Jaguar Wright make a valid point in holding figures like Mary J. Blige accountable, or could her silence be a result of facing similar hardships? I’d love to hear your thoughts, so please share in the comments below.
