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.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
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.

Here's the thing that is shocking to me about a lot of celebrities: You have the money, you have the fame. All you have to do is avoid doing something stupid that gets noticed. Don't be an asshole, don't post garbage on Twitter. All you have to do is just live your life and not make waves. I guess that for some people, whatever nonsense drove them into fame also causes bad behavior.
It's the arrogance. They feel they are unstoppable and can fix anything with money until there's a knock at the door.
It is hard to say they are completely wrong in feeling that way, too.
At which point they hire a good lawyer and thus continue to use money to fix anything.
60% of the time it works every time.
He’s only famous because of Biggie! No B.I.G. no money! Fuck him!! Coattail riding bitchhhhhhh
It had never crossed my mind until now that he may have not only slept with Biggie's widow, but actually Biggie himself as well, given everything that's coming out.

This makes sense if rich people get themselves in trouble doing something petty. Why sabotage your freedom if you're already rich? What do you have to gain that you don't already have?
The real issue here is that when you have money already, you can use it to exert power over people to get the things you want in life. A good person would hire people at a fair wage to help run their lives so they can spend their time only doing what they want to do, and invest their money so that they can live lavishly off of it for their whole lives.
In this case, Combs, who is not a good person, wanted sex slaves, and so he used his money to traffic women.
The reason they got the money was by making the biggest waves though
Lots of people do just that. We're only hearing about this because he's a celebrity. Shitbag normal people rarely make the news.
Gaining power has been shown to turn you into a shitbag, neurologically.
It's not just that we hear about the famous or rich ones, it's not that drive to attain power is more common among assholes.
As you attain wealth, status or fame your brain begins to look more and more like the brain of a clinically diagnosed psychopath.
"Power Corrupts" is not a social tendency or a moral failing, it's the biological reality.
More on this, at least as it pertains to wealth.
I am referring only to celebrities in my comment.
My point is that if you are under enhanced scrutiny, you best not create things for people to look at.
