Uno de los actores que trabajó en la desastrosa atracción de Willy Wonka en el Reino Unido lo cuenta todo: los pormenores de lo que salió mal y cómo los padres están arreglando las cosas.
Paul Connell -que interpretó a uno de los Wonkas en el desastre ahora viral- le dice a TMZ que hubo que llamar a la policía luego de que la gente comenzara a tirar cosas cuando la experiencia en Glasgow los decepcionó, lo que enojó seriamente a las familias que gastaron un buen dinero. Él dice: "La gente estaba llorando. La gente gritaba. Se convirtió en una carnicería".
¡Paul no culpa a los huéspedes por su indignación, ya que dice que ni siquiera había chocolate que ofrecer! Échale un vistazo a la entrevista que nos concedió, nos cuenta todos los pormenores del asunto, incluido lo que -según él- tenían que ofrecerle los trabajadores a los niños.
Digamos que era algo escaso, sin sentido y no muy dulce.
Las familias dicen que se quedaron una sensación de engaño después de haber prometido una aventura de Willy Wonka., la cual resultó ser un almacén lleno de decoraciones a medias y casi ninguna golosina.
Según los informes, pagaron $35 por boleto, lo que es bastante considerando la pésima experiencia.
Como ya informamos, el evento contaba con un extraño guion de 13 páginas, el cual Paul dice que tuvieron que abandonar y en su lugar, simplemente improvisaron. Así de malo era.
Incluso hay sospechas de que el guion fue realizado con un software de IA.
Paul dice que esta no es la primera vez que la empresa detrás de la exposición ha fracasado al momento de realizar un evento temático, afirma que han tratado de sacar esto adelante en el pasado, pero parece que los intentos anteriores no funcionaron.
Ah, y no son solo los asistentes están descontentos, Paul alega que no le han pagado las 500 libras (aproximadamente $633) por su tiempo y trabajo. Él le dice a TMZ: "Nadie se ha puesto en contacto conmigo en absoluto. Ha sido un silencio total de parte de ellos".
Pero al igual que el final del clásico infantil de Roald Dahl, hay un final feliz... al menos eso es lo que Paul nos puede afirmar.
Paul nos cuenta que un grupo de padres que asistieron al evento con sus hijos están planeando organizar una nueva experiencia por su cuenta y quieren que él participe. La nueva exposición será gratuita ya que están planeando tener patrocinadores y un montón de donaciones en fila.
Sin duda un final feliz.
Hitmaka Claims Diddy Snaked Him Outta Multiple Producer Creds🐍
Turns out Lil Rod's not the only one with deeply rooted gripes about working with Diddy -- superproducer Hitmaka is making his own claims about bad biz deals with the music mogul.
On the recent PPV episode of "The Joe Budden Podcast," Hitmaka shared his experiences while working on Diddy's "Love Album: Off The Grid" -- the same project for which Rodney Jones, aka Lil Rod, is suing Diddy for unpaid royalties ... among a litany of other allegations.
Hitmaka told Joe, Diddy dialed him up ahead of the album's creation and gassed up his talent to get him in the studio with fellow artists London on Da Track and Jozzy.
After sending Diddy several tracks, Hitmaka claims Diddy went behind his back recruiting Cardiak, Eric Bellinger and several others to dissolve his contributions from the tracks ... so much so, the album was released without any of his credits!
Hitmaka says he ran into Diddy afterward, and as he describes it ... the gaslighting about the project continued -- and he says he feels sorry that Jozzy is stuck on the Love Records imprint amid all the lawsuits against Diddy.
To make matters worse, Hitmaka alleges Diddy infringed on another Bad Boy project in which he was involved ... that being French Montana's 2021 album "They Got Amnesia."
Hitmaka says he was originally the executive producer, and had his tags on the album opener "ICU," but got hit with the Diddy Effect ... as his voice got replaced with the man writing the checks!!!
He calls it diabolical déjà vu ... Hitmaka said the same thing happened to him during his 2008 freshman season when Diddy came between him and his OG co-producer Rob Holladay.
Hitmaka says he put a stop to Diddy's shenanigans when he attempted to poach his go-to artist and part-time lover, Tink, for one of his projects.
Despite all that, he says it's still love ... even though it sure doesn't sound like it.

Matt Riddle 'Perfect Storm' Led To J.F.K. Outburst ... Alcohol, Ear Infection, Travel
Ex-WWE Superstar Matt Riddle is finally sharing his side of his eventful visit to JFK Airport last year ... claiming cocktails, an ear infection, and an awful travel experience sed his belligerent antics.
As we previously reported, Riddle appeared wasted before catching a flight to Orlando back in September ... grabbing a mic and shouting at passengers during a delay -- the same day he accused a Port Authority police officer of sexual assault.
09/29/23
The former Tag Team Champion explained he felt he was overworked at the time -- doing a four-day tour before flying to India for a one-day event and heading back to the States -- and that all "took a toll on me," he told "The MMA Hour."
On his flight back to the U.S., Riddle said he got a "really bad" ear infection ... and after a few alcoholic bevvies and flight delays, he was dealing with a "perfect storm."
Riddle is taking the whole thing in stride, though ... saying his bad time at the airport made him realize he needed to take a step back and stop working himself so much.
As for the sexual harassment accusation, Riddle also admitted alcohol played a factor ... and while he didn't wish to pursue charges, he now understands that he put himself in that situation.
Ultimately, Riddle lost his gig with WWE ... but has since returned to wrestling under other promotions.

EXPERIENCIA WILLY WONKA EL GUION VA A TOMAR UN BUEN TIEMPO... ¡Es realmente malo!
Los visuales de la atracción de Willy Wonka en el Reino Unido son bastante decepcionantes, pero el guion lo es aún más.
El guión de 13 páginas que se le entrego a los actores para realizar el "Willy's Chocolate Experience" en Glasgow, Escocia, ha salido a la luz en línea, y si pensabas que la experiencia en sí parecía precaria, espera a saber de qué va la trama.
Lo primero que salta a la vista es que las descripciones de los decorados -que deberían pintar un cuadro de experiencia caprichosa, encantadora y envolvente- no se corresponden en absoluto con lo que realmente le esperaba a los padres que pagaron, quienes terminaron exigiendo reembolsos.
El naufragio no acaba ahí, el guion está plagado de predicciones sobre cómo respondería el público al decorado y a los actores que interpretaban a Willy Wonka y los Oompa Loompas, pero los halagos no se hicieron realidad.
Paul Connell, el actor contratado para interpretar a Wonka, dice que el elenco recibió el guion el día antes del evento, lo que les dio poco tiempo para memorizar sus líneas y le dijo a The Independent que la escritura era un montón de tonteras generadas por IA.
Un ejemplo perfecto de cómo el guion se desvía en gran medida de la realidad, es la "Sala de Burbujas y Limonada".
En el guion, el espacio se describe como "una habitación donde el aire chispea con burbujas flotantes, y ríos de limonada chispeante fluyen libremente." Suena bien, pero en realidad es solo una mesa desplegable con vasos de plástico que contienen unos sorbos de limonada y una bolsa de basura claramente visible.
También se menciona aquí a una especie de espíritu maligno llamado El Desconocido y también hay un video de un actor interpretándolo durante una de las visitas del pasado fin de semana.

• Script was '15 pages of AI-generated gibberish'
• Made up a villain called The Unknown — 'an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls'
• Event had no chocolate — kids were given a single jelly bean & a cup of lemonade pic.twitter.com/kxs1RcKVC8
Fue bastante espeluznante y los niños que lo presenciaron se llevaron un susto de muerte.
En pocas palabras, la ejecución del guion no resultó muy bien, pero para ser honesto, la escritura en sí no es muy buena tampoco. Todo es inconexo, difícil de seguir y parece que eso se manifestó en el mundo real cuando intentaron darle vida.
Recordemos que los padres se quejaban de que a sus hijos les daban un cuarto de vaso de limonada y unas cuantas gominolas. Además, se amontonaban en las precarias decoraciones y lo peor es que solo tardabas un minuto en recorrerlo todo.
Todo lo relacionado con el evento es tan lúgubre que casi resulta gracioso... en serio, si necesitas reírte lee el guion. Es hilarante.
Pobres chicos... ¡Pobres actores!
Willy Wonka Experience Script Not Even Close To Reality ... Hilariously Awful!!!
The visuals from the Willy Wonka pop-up attraction in the UK are pretty sad and underwhelming ... but the script is even worse, and more out of touch with reality.
The 13-page script that the actors were given to perform at the now-viral "Willy's Chocolate Experience" in Glasgow, Scotland, has surfaced online ... and if you thought the actual experience itself looked rough, wait until you get a load of the fake plotline behind it.
The first thing that jumps off the page ... set descriptions painting a picture of a whimsical, enchanting and immersive experience do not line up AT ALL with what was actually awaiting paying parents, who ended up demanding refunds for the bait and switch.
The trainwreck doesn't end there ... the script is littered with predictions for how the audience would respond to the set and the actors playing Willy Wonka and the Oompa Loompas ... but the rosy outlook didn't play out that way in real life.
Paul Connell, the actor hired to play Wonka, says the cast only got the script the day before the event, leaving them little time to memorize their lines ... and he told The Independent the writing was a bunch of AI-generated gibberish.
A perfect example of how the script greatly deviates from the real deal ... the "Bubble and Lemonade Room."
In the script, the space is described as "a room where the air sparkles with floating bubbles, and rivers of sparking lemonade flow freely." Sounds cool, but in reality, it's just a fold-out table with plastic cups containing a few sips of lemonade ... and a clearly visible trash bag.
There's also mention in here of some kind of evil villain/spirit thing called The Unknown -- and video of an actor portraying it during one of the tours last weekend is out too.

Let's just say ... it was creepy as hell, and scared the crap out of the kids who witnessed it.
Bottom line -- the execution of the script didn't turn out great ... but to be honest, the actual writing itself isn't very good either. The whole thing is disjointed and somewhat hard to follow ... and it sounds like that manifested in the real world when they tried to bring this to life.
Remember ... parents complained their kids were given a quarter cup of lemonade and a few jellybeans, and they piled on the crappy decorations and said the whole thing took a minute to walk through.
Everything about the event is so grim it's almost funny ... seriously, if you need a good laugh read through the script. It's pretty wild.
Those poor kids ... those poor actors!!!

KIM Y ANYA TAYLOR-JOY DESATAN POLÉMICA SOBRE LA POSITIVIDAD CORPORAL Por publicar fotos de corsés
Kim Kardashian y Anya Taylor-Joy están siendo acusadas de perpetuar lo que algunos consideran lo contrario de la positividad corporal.
Kim es la última en ser criticada, aunque a Anya ya le pasó a principios de semana. La Kardashian publicó algunas fotos con un corsé de Mugler que hace que su cintura parezca diminuta y mucha gente no estuvo contenta.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
La gente vino por ella en los comentarios, acusándola de establecer estándares de belleza poco realistas para las mujeres, mientras que otros la llamaron por promover un ideal de delgadez imposible. Por supuesto, todo lo que Kim hizo fue publicar las fotos y mencionar la marca.
Todo lo demás que se está diciendo en esta conversación es solo gente proyectando sus interpretaciones y quejas, y sin embargo, ella sigue siendo criticada. ¿Qué hay de nuevo?
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Kim no es la única que la gente está criticando en línea esta semana por usar corsé, Anya también ha recibido quejas por lo mismo.
La actriz compartió una instantánea en blanco y negro luciendo un corsé de una prueba de Maison Margiela antes del estreno de "Dune 2" y ella también fue atacada por normalizar y dar glamour a su pequeña figura, cuando, en realidad, no muchas personas se ven así.
Ninguna de las dos estrellas ha abordado todas las críticas que están recibiendo, pero la gente está haciendo mucho ruido al respecto.
KIM K, ANYA TAYLOR-JOY SPARK Body Positivity CONTROVERSY By Posting Corset Photos
Kim Kardashian's catching some heat for rocking a corset, as is Anya Taylor-Joy ... both of whom are being accused of perpetuating what some consider the opposite of body positivity.
Kim is the latest one to get backlash -- although, Anya kicked it all off earlier in the week. KK posted some photos of herself wearing a Mugler corset that makes her waist look teeny-tiny ... and a lot of people weren't happy with it.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
People came for her in the comments ... accusing her of setting unrealistic beauty standards for women, while others called her out for promoting an impossible skinny ideal on her platform. Of course, all Kim did, really, was post the pics and mention the brand.
Everything else that's being kicked around in this convo is just people projecting their interpretations/gripes ... and yet, she's still getting dragged. What else is new?
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
FWIW, Kim isn't the only one who people are bashing online this week over corset looks -- Anya has also been getting criticism for her own photo with a corset on.
The actress shared a B&W snap of herself wearing a corset from a Maison Margiela fitting ahead of the 'Dune 2' premiere ... and she too was lambasted for what some consider normalizing and glamorizing her tiny frame -- when, in reality, not many people look like this.
Neither A-lister has addressed all the flak they're getting ... but people are making a lot of noise about it regardless.

LIAM GALLAGHER SLAMS ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME NOMS 'Mariah Carey?! Bollocks!'
Liam Gallagher says a lot of the people who've been nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year don't deserve to be there -- taking aim at hip-hop/ R&B acts specifically.
The singer is nominated along with Oasis this year -- but he slammed the inclusion of artists who have barely dipped their toes into rock territory -- recently telling The Sunday Times, "As much as I love Mariah Carey and all that, I want to say, do me a favor and f*** off."
LG likened MC's inclusion in the category to tossing him into the rap hall of fame. In his mind, it just doesn't make sense to have non-traditional rock acts in the Hall.
He didn't stop there either ... Liam claims he's done more for rock 'n' roll than "half of them clowns on that board."
In addition to Oasis and Mariah Carey, the other nominees this year include A Tribe Called Quest, Sade, Mary J. Blige, Cher, Sinead O'Connor, Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Matthews Band, Eric B. & Rakim, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Jane's Addiction, Kool & the Gang and Lenny Kravitz. So, it's definitely not your typical rock 'n' roll lineup, that's for sure!
BTW, this is the second time Liam's vented about the topic ... he wrote on X earlier this month: "F*** the Rock n Roll hall of fame its full of BUMBACLARTS LG x" -- also telling a fan in the comments not to waste their time voting.
The HOF definitely has mixed it up in recent years when it comes to the types of inductees they usher in. In 2022, Dolly Parton was inducted, and they even got Eminem in there as well ... so yes, they clearly do consider outside genres to be rock and roll.
Unclear if Liam is gonna show up for the ceremony or not ... from the sounds of it, he might not be well-received after all this s*** he's been talking.

LIAM GALLAGHER CRITICA AL SALÓN DE LA FAMA DEL ROCK & ROLL ¿Mariah Carey? Tonterías
Liam Gallagher dice que muchos de los nominados al Salón de la Fama del Rock and Roll de este año no merecen estar allí, y apunta específicamente a los artistas de hip-hop y R&B. El cantante está nominado junto a Oasis este año, pero criticó la inclusión de artistas que apenas se han sumergido en el mundo del rock.
El cantante está nominado junto a Oasis este año, pero criticó la inclusión de artistas que apenas han tocado el territorio del rock. Recientemente le dijo a The Sunday Times: "Por mucho que me guste Mariah Carey y todo eso, quiero decir, hazme un favor y vete a la mier***".
Liam comparó la inclusión de Mariah en esta categoría con su ingreso al salón de la fama del rap. En su mente, simplemente no tiene sentido incluir actos de rock no tradicionales.
Y no se detuvo ahí... Liam afirma que ha hecho más por el rock 'n' roll que "la mitad de los payasos de esa junta".
Además de Oasis y Mariah Carey, los otros nominados de este año son A Tribe Called Quest, Sade, Mary J. Blige, Cher, Sinead O'Connor, Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Matthews Band, Eric B. & Rakim, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Jane's Addiction, Kool & the Gang y Lenny Kravitz. Definitivamente, no es el típico cartel de rock 'n' roll, ¡eso está claro!
Esta es la segunda vez que Liam se desahoga sobre el tema, escribió en X a principios de este mes: "F*** the Rock n Roll hall of fame its full of BUMBACLARTS LG x", también le dijo a un fan en los comentarios que no perdiera el tiempo votando.
El evento definitivamente se ha habierto los últimos años cuando se trata de estilos musicales. En 2022, Dolly Parton fue admitida, e incluso metieron a Eminem, así que sí, está claro que consideran géneros ajenos al rock and roll.
No está claro si Liam va a aparecer en la ceremonia o no, por lo que parece, podría no ser bien recibido después de toda esta mierda que ha estado hablando.
Rebecca Ferguson Mystery A-List Costar ... Screamed at Me On Set Once
02/28/24
Rebecca Ferguson says she once got berated by an A-list costar who she refuses to work with ever again -- and while she didn't name names ... she did exclude two people, which has left the internet rife with guesses.
The actress dished this tea on the "Reign with Josh Smith" podcast -- and she was responding to a question about a time when she owned her voice and took control of her situation ... which led to this wild anecdote about a mystery fellow cast member.
Rebecca doesn't ID them, nor does she implicate gender, but what she does say is that this actor she was working on the film with was absolutely horrible ... allegedly yelling at her.
She says they were frustrated while they were doing scene work together, and they'd apparently hurl insults at Rebecca -- openly questioning her acting methods and tenacity ... while also noting they were the number 1 person on the call sheet. So, a big star basically.
Rebecca goes on to explain that nobody had her back on that set, but eventually ... she found her own inner strength and told this actor to f*** off -- and apparently even demanded that the person turn around while she recited her own lines.
In other words, she didn't wanna be in the same space as this person, and it sounds like she put her foot down while shooting. The big question ... who the hell is this awful person???
Like we said, Rebecca went out of her way to protect this celeb's anonymity -- but she did give some clues ... including the fact this supposedly happened in the last 10 to 12 years. Of course, the internet is rife with speculation on which costar this could possibly be.
We should note ... RF explicitly said it wasn't Hugh Jackman and it wasn't Tom Cruise. Technically -- with the parameters she's described -- there's only a select few actors it could possibly be We're not gonna name anybody and fuel speculation ... but folks seem to know who the options are here, guy or girl.
Hate seeing this but love seeing her stand up to bullshit. Rebecca was my guardian angel sent from heaven on our set. I love that woman. I’d like to find out who did this.
— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) February 28, 2024 @TheRock
One person who's stepped forward to seemingly distance himself from this drama is The Rock -- who starred opposite Rebecca in 2014's 'Hercules.'
He responded, "Hate seeing this but love seeing her stand up to bullshit. Rebecca was my guardian angel sent from heaven on our set. I love that woman. I’d like to find out who did this."
So, that's one person down ... and a handful of others left as the would-be culprit. Just goes to show -- not everyone in Hollywood is all that sweet -- at least according to Rebecca.
Play nice, everyone.

Brazilian Soccer Journalist Accuses Mascot Of Sexual Harassment ... At Huge Rivalry Game
A soccer reporter who was covering a famed rivalry game in Brazil over the weekend says she was forced to go to cops following the conclusion of the match ... after she claims one of the team's mascots sexually harassed her.
Canal Monumental journalist Gisele Kumpel alleged the misconduct happened while she was on the sidelines of Sunday's Grêmio vs. Sport Club Internacional tilt -- which soccer aficionados call "Gre-Nal."
Kumpel said in an interview with GloboEsporte that at several points during the match, Internacional's masked cheerleader, known as Saci, began making gestures at her ... before he bent over and looked down at her phone.
Then, according to Kumpel, following a big goal by Internacional in the second half ... Saci grabbed her and made kissing noises.
"He stopped next to me and simply hugged me," she told GE. "He hugged me. Even with the mask on, he pushed my head and made to kiss me. I could hear the kiss crack and I felt his sweat."
Kumpel went on to say she was the only female reporter in attendance ... and the only one who Saci embraced.
"Another day of women wanting to do their job in football and suffering for it with some idiots who are criminals," she wrote in a post on X ... while adding photos of her reporting the incident to local authorities. "I'm going to the end so that no other woman goes through this."
Internacional officials said in a statement to the U.S. Sun that they've suspended the person in the Saci costume as they and law enforcement continue to investigate the allegations.
Kumpel, meanwhile, said she's doing OK despite the incident ... writing on her social media page, "Everything is fine."
"Taking away the fear, trembling, crying and disbelief of the moment," she said, "I did what I could do, since eliminating the fact is impossible."

Kanye West Bianca muestra todo para abajo Nada de ropa interior...
La esposa de Kanye West, Bianca Censori, está en el ruedo nuevamente y con eso queremos decir que está de humor para andar desnuda, y esta vez haciendo una declaración de moda entre los franceses.
Bianca y Ye estuvieron en París el martes, donde se está realizando la semana de la moda, y Bianca definitivamente dejó todo al descubierto, al menos de la cintura para abajo, un poco diferente a la forma en la que normalmente anda cuando se desnuda todo para arriba.
No estamos bromeando. Bianca fue de bajo perfil, pero exponiéndose muchísimo a sí misma en este atuendo. Llevaba medias transparentes y, literalmente, nada para abajo, sin ningún tipo de ropa interior.
De hecho, Bianca va completamente desnuda y se puede ver todo.
A Kanye, por supuesto, no parece importarle. Más bien parece que le encanta tenerla arreglada y vestida. Sabemos que Ye ha hecho alarde de su cuerpo muchas veces.
Hemos visto algunos trajes salvajes de Bianca antes, incluyendo un impermeable transparente con nada debajo, pero por alguna razón ... este es más sorprendente.
Recuerden, solo la semana pasada vimos a Kanye y Bianca en Milán pavoneándose en otro evento de moda, por lo que ahora solo se están moviendo alrededor de Europa haciendo lo suyo y posando para las cámaras.
Kanye sigue promocionando su álbum en el extranjero, luego de encontrar dificultades para reservar locales en Estados Unidos. En Europa, parece que es un poco mejor recibido.
Por supuesto, Bianca ha estado al lado de Kanye todo este tiempo, leal y firme.
También ha andado muy, muy desnuda, pero eso es parte del menú ahora. Pareciera un libreto conocido y, sin embargo, sigue impactándonos y sorprendiéndonos.
Aquí está la "comida" favorita de Kanye en exhibición para que todos la vean.
Kanye West Wifey Shows Off Bare Vagina, Butt ... During Paris Fashion Week
Kanye West's wife, Bianca Censori, is at it again -- and by that, we mean she's in the mood to go nude ... and this time, she's making a fashion statement among the French.
Bianca and Ye were out and about Tuesday in Paris, where it's fashion week there ... and where BC was definitely letting it all hang out -- only here, she was doing it below the belt -- a little different than how she normally rolls when she's baring it all upstairs.
We're not kidding, BTW ... Bianca was low-key exposing herself A LOT in this getup. She's got see-through stockings on here ... and literally nothing else underneath, no undies at all.
Indeed, Bianca is going full commando in these pics ... and you can see everything.
Kanye, of course, doesn't seem to mind -- if anything, he appears to love having her dolled up and dressed down ... we know Ye has flaunted her body a number of times online.
We've seen some wild outfits from Bianca before -- including her in a full-blown birthday suit under a freaking raincoat -- but for some reason ... this one kinda takes the cake.
Remember, it was just last week that we saw Kanye and Bianca in Milan strutting their stuff at another fashion event -- so now, they're just hopscotching around Europe again doing their thing and posing for the camera.
Kanye is still promoting his album overseas ... this after finding it difficult to book venues here in the States for the types of listening events he likes to host these days. In Europe, it looks like he's a bit more well-received.
Of course, this entire time ... Bianca has been by Kanye's side, remaining loyal and steadfast.
She's also remained really, really naked -- but that's sorta par for the course now. Feels like we know a little well at this point -- and yet, she continues to shock and surprise us.
Here's to Kanye's favorite "meal" on display for all to see ... cheers.

DIDDY ACCUSER Attorney Fires Back ... AT QUESTIONS Over LAWSUIT
-
Exclusive
- 59 shares
Diddy's latest accuser is being questioned on several key things after filing a lawsuit full of heavy allegations of sexual misconduct ... but his attorney has all the answers.
Rodney Jones' attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, is firing back after people started questioning his client's claims ... with the first being Rodney's allegation that Diddy forced him to watch a video involving Stevie J having sex with another man.
Remember, Stevie J told us earlier today that all the allegations concerning him were totally bogus -- and an adult film star Knockout has since come forward and said he's the man in the now-viral pic from the supposed sex tape and not SJ. So ... what gives, right?
Tyrone tells TMZ the video in question was allegedly provided to Rodney by Diddy himself, and we're told Rodney's sticking to his story that Diddy told him it was Stevie J -- that's what he's alleging anyway.
In terms of who it actually is ... Tyrone says his client only knew what was allegedly relayed to him when it first fell into his lap during his time with Diddy.
Tyrone also offers an explanation over another question that's been raised -- namely, why Rodney made no mention of sexual assault in his GoFundMe page a few weeks before the lawsuit was filed Monday ... where he literally tried to raise funds in an attempt sue Diddy after claiming he screwed out of royalties and publishing rights on Diddy's latest album.
Tyrone tells us, "Victims of sexual assault respond to their trauma in very different ways. There is no uniformity in response to sexual trauma."
He adds ... "Mr. Jones is a father and Christian. He was willing to sacrifice his rights concerning his assault, in an effort to protect his dignity and the dignity of his family. Mr. Combs was made aware of Mr. Jones' claim for assault from the moment Mr. Jones made his intentions to sue clear."
Tyrone explains the main reason Rodney started the GFM was to pay his previous attorney ... who was hired to assist with collecting the publishing and royalties money. Since then, his claims against Diddy have obviously expanded in scope ... and now Tyrone's involved.
Lastly ... Tyrone also addresses speculation that Rodney isn't the man with Cuba Gooding Jr. in a snap that was included in the complaint as purported evidence -- where the actor is allegedly seen cozying up with another dude, which the suit says is Rodney.
Tyrone's straight-up dismissing the conjecture that it ain't Rodney ... 'cause he says it 100% is. He actually claims they've got the video proof to back up their claims here.
Despite some holes people have tried poking in Rodney's narrative -- his attorney is remaining steadfast ... and insisting his client is telling the truth.
Of course ... Diddy has vehemently denied all of Rodney's allegations.

REPRESENTANTES DEL LEGADO DE DONNA SUMMER "NO SENTIMOS AMOR POR KANYE..." Lo demandan por usar un sample

Kanye West está siendo arrastrado a los tribunales por los representantes de Donna Summer, quienes afirman que hizo un soundalike no autorizado de una de sus canciones más grandes luego de que se le negara la solicitud para usar el sample original.
El patrimonio de la fallecida cantante acaba de presentar una demanda contra Ye, Ty Dolla $ign, el sello discográfico de Ye y otros, y de acuerdo con los documentos obtenidos por TMZ, están reclamando que Kanye quería una muestra del éxito de Summer "I Feel Love" para usarlo en un track de "Vultures".
La canción en cuestión se llama "Good (Don't Die)" y se incluyó en la lista de canciones desde un comienzo, cuando Ye lanzó "Vultures 1" el 10 de febrero a través de diferentes plataformas de streaming.
De hecho, los que han escuchado la canción saben muy bien que suena la voz de Donna en la nueva pista de West, pero el problema, según la demanda, es que Ye nunca obtuvo el permiso adecuado para usarlo y el patrimonio afirma que fueron muy claros en rechazar la solicitud.
Afirman que Ye y Ty se acercaron a ellos justo a principios de este año -el 31 de enero de 2024- para solicitar autorización sobre su icónico éxito, pero se les negó rotundamente.
Dicen que los abogados de Summer todavía controlan una parte de los derechos de autor y afirman que Ye y compañía se acercaron a ellos un poco más de una semana antes de la fecha de lanzamiento de la nueva canción, con Kanye aparentemente queriendo lanzar el álbum el 9 de febrero con la canción incluida.
Los representantes dicen que debido la reputación de Ye últimamente -presumiblemente las controversias en torno a sus comentarios antisemitas y otras declaraciones públicas- decidieron que su canción se utilizará en su álbum.
A pesar de esto, el patrimonio de Donna afirma que Ye lanzó el álbum de todos modos con "Good (Don't Die)" incluida en el track list y que apareció en Apple, Spotify y otras plataformas de streaming.
Afirman que Ye intentó eludir la denegación mediante la creación de una interpolación de la canción de Donna en lugar de la pista real, pero los representantes de Donna afirman que la solución no les aísla de la infracción de derechos de autor.
El patrimonio de Donna dice que se puso en contacto con Apple, Spotify y otros streamers para pedir que retiren la canción, lo que puede explicar por qué el álbum de Kanye desapareció brevemente el fin de semana que fue lanzado. Al final, se volvió a cargar, pero "Good (Don't Die)" se eliminó de la lista.
Sin embargo, debido al tiempo que tomó para que todo esto suceda, los representantes de Summer alegan que la canción ya se ha reproducido millones de veces y el daño está hecho.
Por cierto, "Good (Don't Die)" todavía está incluido en la lista de canciones de "Vultures 1" para aquellos que compraron el álbum por primera vez, y todavía se puede reproducir la canción en su totalidad en Apple Music, algo que hemos confirmado aquí nosotros mismos.
Están alegando grandes daños y una orden judicial que bloquee la distribución adicional de la canción con la muestra infractora. Nos hemos puesto en contacto con Ye, pero no hay respuesta todavía.
Donna Summer Estate We Don't Feel Love for Kanye ... Sues for Using Her Hit on 'Vultures'

Kanye West is being dragged to court by Donna Summer's estate -- this after her estate claims he made an unauthorized soundalike of one of her biggest songs ... after it denied his request to clear a sample of the real thing.
The late singer's estate just filed suit against Ye, Ty Dolla $ign, Ye's record label and others -- and according to the docs, obtained by TMZ, they're claiming Kanye wanted to sample Summer's smash hit "I Feel Love" for a track on his first 'Vultures' album.
The song in question is called "Good (Don't Die)" ... and it was actually included in the tracklist at first when KW dropped 'Vultures 1' on Feb. 10 across different streaming platforms.
Indeed, those who've heard the song know quite well ... it sounds a lot like Donna's voice from 'IFL' in the new West track -- but the problem, according to the lawsuit, is that Ye and co. never properly got permission to use it ... and the estate claims they were very clear about rejecting the request.
In the suit, filed by attorney Larry Stein, Donna's estate claims Ye and Ty approached them about a month ago -- on Jan. 31, 2024, they say -- to request clearance on her iconic hit ... but the estate flatly denied them.
The estate says Summer's estate still controls a portion of the copyright -- and claims Ye and company approached them a little more than a week before the release date for the new song ... with Kanye apparently wanting to drop the album on Feb. 9, with the song in the mix.
The estate says because of Ye's rep lately -- presumably the controversies surrounding his antisemitic comments and other public statements -- Donna's estate decided her song being used on his album wasn't going to do them any good ... so they say they passed, and rejected his ask for the sample.
Despite this, Donna's estate claims Ye dropped the album anyway with "Good (Don't Die)" on there ... and it showed up on Apple, Spotify and other major streaming/music platforms.
They claim Ye attempted to get around the denial by creating an interpolation of Donna's song instead of the actual track --- but Donna's estate claims the workaround doesn't insulate them from copyright infringement.
Donna's estate says they contacted Apple, Spotify and other streamers to ask they yank the song -- which may explain why Kanye's album briefly disappeared the weekend it was released. Eventually, it was re-uploaded -- but "Good (Don't Die)" is now removed from the list.
However, in the time it took for all this to happen ... Donna's estate claims the song had been streamed millions of times -- and they allege they've been harmed as a result.
BTW, "Good (Don't Die)" is still included in the track list for 'Vultures 1' for those who actually purchased the album when it first dropped, and it still plays in full ... at least, we've confirmed that's the case on Apple Music.
The estate is asking for major damages and an injunction blocking further distribution of the song with the infringing sample. We've reached out to Ye ... no word back yet.
