Dallas Bishop TD Jake Jakes is finally addressing speculation about his alleged presence at events hosted by Diddy. Reports suggest he may be pursuing legal action against individuals making public claims about him. Following headlines involving Jay-Z and Beyonce, Jake has become the latest high-profile name tied to attempts to discredit sources connected to Diddy's controversy.
This raises serious questions. What exactly was his role at these gatherings? And what are the claims being made?
Good. Here we are. So grateful to open the car.
Okay. I'm grateful to y'all. All the people who prayed and all the people who texted, all the people who had prayer vigils, all the people were concerned and sent love and sent notes.
Just grateful. Thank you. This great not afraid to die.
Don't want to hurt my kids. The people who love me, the church who needs me, the world who call me, the God who sent me. On November 25th, Bishop TB Jakes filed a defamation lawsuit against Pastor Dwayne Youngblood, who publicly accused him of misconduct dating back to when Young Bloodood was 18.
Young Bloodood claimed incidents occurred during church services and stated he had witnesses and phone records to support his story. The allegations were deeply disturbing. Since then, Bishop Jake has also been mentioned in legal documents linked to Diddy and referenced by comedian Cat Williams in connection to the broader controversy.
You can't even imagine being 18, 19 years of age, this person is killing it and they're saying to you, "Come on in. Let's talk. " And so I did.
I went in. We sat down at a very long dining room table in room that she had. And for 2 hours it was unbelievable.
Pouring of heart, crying, him talking about my father. We talking about these scenarios. And I inwardly just knew I had finally found someone who could get it.
Someone who understood. I'm sitting at this table and for the first time talking to any man. I got tears coming down my face because somebody gets me.
Somebody understood what I was going through. Well, after sitting there and having this long discourse with him, I finally look at my watch and I'm like, "Oh my goodness, I got to go. I got to get this car back to my mother.
She's going to kill me. " So, I said to Bishop, "I got to get up. " And I got up from the table.
He got up from the table. He walked around toward the uh way. I had to exit quicker than I got over there.
And when I started to walk past him, he pulled me to himself, wrapped his arms around me, and tried to kiss me. And in that moment, I literally died. I I could not I I to this to this day I can't remember how I got out of that place.
But I remember driving home with all kinds of crazy thoughts and what in the world am I going to do now? And I finally get home, get in the house, get in the bed. I'm going to try to go to sleep.
And I get to sleep and get up in the morning. And in the morning, I step into our bathroom and my home phone rings. My mother answers the phone and she says to me, "Wayne, it's Elder Jake.
" And I get on that phone. And when I get on that telephone, I can hear water. He is sitting in a bathtub.
And in that thing, he says to me without any hesitation, there's three things I need you to do. The first one is when I come to Pittsburgh, you're going to be the only person I sleep with. The second one is you can't sleep with anybody else because I don't want to give my wife anything.
And thirdly, I will take care of you the rest of your life. I can't to this day remember how I got off that phone, but I do know I made a decision that I wasn't going to the service that night. And eventually I told my mother, I'm not going to go to a service tonight.
She says, "No, no, no. You know, we got a rule in this house. If we go, you go.
" I never told her what he had done. I went to church and the most humiliating thing imaginable happened that night at church. Bishop Jake getting up to preach speaks into that microphone.
I'm going to ask young Minister Young Bloodood to read for me. And after all of that drama of the last 24 hours, I had to read before TD Jake was first named in Lil Rod's lawsuit against Diddy, where claims surfaced that Diddy allegedly leveraged Jake's religious influence to clean up his public image. According to the suit, Jake allegedly used his position at the Potter's house to support Diddy's reputation and provide access to new circles.
While Jake has denied any misconduct, he has remained silent on allegations regarding his presence at Diddy's events. Worldrenowned Dallas pastor TD Jake Jakes is named in a federal lawsuit against musician Shawn Diddy Combmes. It's followed by a producer that worked with Combmes.
It discusses how the singer planned to leverage his relationship with the bishop to soften the impact on his public image of Casey Ventur's lawsuit. Mura is a former girlfriend of Combmes who filed her own lawsuit in November alleging abuse, violence, and sex trafficking. Meanwhile, Comb's lawyer is criticizing the raids at two of the hip hop mogul homes in a federal sex trafficking investigation.
He called them an unprecedented ambush. It comes as we're getting a new look inside Comb's LA house after the search by federal agents. Carter Evans has details about what the feds have uncovered so far.
Guns, cell phones, and other electronics are among the items taken from the homes of music mogul Shaun Diddy Combmes. According to a source familiar with the search warrant performed by federal agents at his properties in Los Angeles and Miami, TMZ says this video shows the aftermath of the raid inside Combmes's LA mansion. Drwers empty, documents scattered, and safes opened and searched.
Hours after the raid started, Combmes was seen walking around the Miami Opalaka airport, according to TMZ, which also obtained this video. Later, at the same airport, authorities arrested Combmes associate Brendan Paul and charged him with drug possession. In a civil suit filed against Combmes by former music producer Rodney Jones, Paul was accused of being a drug and gun mule who allegedly aided Combmes in sex trafficking.
Yesterday, Diddy's lawyer called the law enforcement action nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits. Could this federal investigation have come out of these private lawsuits? Oh, absolutely.
If it involves sex trafficking or drugs or weapons or other illegal behavior. Lorie Levenson is a former federal prosecutor. They've decided this is worth a lot of resources across the country.
Once they've done these searches, they have evidence to follow up on, and if they've got it, they'll move on it. Even though Combmes has not been publicly named as a target of the investigation, he says he's now prepared to fight to clear his name. Interestingly, multiple witnesses have claimed to have seen TD Jake at Diddy's high-profile gatherings, including his well-known all-white parties.
One of them, Gandal, allegedly confirmed Jake's presence and questioned why a religious leader would associate so closely with Diddy. In the past, Gandal has hinted at pastors being tied to Diddy's inner circle, suggesting that some may be hiding behind a righteous image. how certain people act after one drink, two drinks.
And if those girls was drinking out those bottles that he said did lace and he could show on camera and he could show that some people had passed out or some people were acting a certain way after they had those [Music] drinks. He won his case on that one. When you was around Diddy, was he doing drugs?
Like party drugs, like ecstasy and stuff like that. Diddy wasn't the dude he is today when we was around when I was around him. You understand?
He had started. He had just started when I was about to leave. He had just started with the cuz he never smoked weed.
He never smoked cigarettes. I never seen him do cocaine or none of that [ __ ] You understand? He would have it for people to do it.
You understand? It's certain certain of his girls like to do it and he would make sure it would be there, but he wasn't the one that did it. Then he didn't start getting hooked on drugs until he got hooked on those painkillers.
After he got hooked on those painkillers, he started drinking more cuz he wouldn't even drink hard liquor. He was only drinking champagne. Don P or Chris Style.
He was not drinking hard liquor then. Yeah, that's real talk, man. And he also claims that, you know, Diddy, he was using TD Jake to fix his image.
You believe that? Well, we saw that to be true anyway. That's what he was trying to do all that time.
That's why TD Jake was there to try to fix his image. Diddy, known for guarding his billiondollar brand, has long prioritized his public image. Reports suggest he made significant donations to TJ Jake's megaurch with Jake allegedly helping to boost Diddy's standing in return.
Since being named in the lawsuit, sources say Jake has been under intense stress at one point nearly collapsing on stage. Those close to him claim he's deeply concerned about getting pulled further into the legal fallout and is hoping to keep things quiet. So, I want to get right into it, man.
How you feel about these rumors surrounding, you know, Diddy and TD Jake? Man, what I think about it is this. You know, when I grew up in the church, the sinners was not supposed to have the same atmosphere with the saints.
You have to be able to se separate the two. So I'm looking at him as a saint going to a party that ain't nothing but sin, drinking, maybe fornication, man on man, woman on woman, he on she. But maybe he there to lay some hands on somebody.
Maybe he there to save some souls. I know he got a contract with Revolt. So, I'm just like it it's just real strange that he would be found at any kind of Diddy party or any kind of uh place with Diddy unless it's in a business atmosphere.
So now what he's doing is he's making he he man he making the Christians look real bad right about now. And you've been to these parties, right? Oh yeah.
Uh I was there when he was doing the white parties in the Hamptons and the whole nine yards. So I know what goes on at the parties. If you know they probably got a little bit more freakier, you know, as time went on, you know, cuz they got to the point whereas that they didn't even care.
It used to be secretly, you know, where people used to go to, you know, separate rooms and different rooms and they wasn't doing that out in the public, you know. So, but now they don't care. Men kissing men and all this other is crazy.
So, why do you think he was going to these parties? I think that he's going to the diddy parties, you know, bro. If he's going well, we know he's going to the Diddy parties and I know that it's I know what usually happens at the Diddy party or what we told happen at the Diddy parties.
Maybe he need to see it for himself, man. Maybe he need to go there and really be involved in some things that could help save some individuals while they going to those parties or maybe he just going to Man, it it's it's hard it's hard to even talk about. Why would you find a a religious man, you know, when you know that the the saints supposed to separate their self from the sinners?
And why would a religious man like himself be at a party which ain't nothing but sin that's going on, bro? Whether it's drinking, maybe fornicating, maybe like I said, men on men, women on women. It It's hard to to to to put in perspective unless he's involving himself what is actually going on at the parties.
It's hard, brother. Bro, you know, you can't I I I I I really don't know why as a spiritual advisor to him that they buddy buddy why they why he got a party with him like that and be at his parties. It's got to be maybe it's something more that meets the eye.
Reports have surfaced claiming a pastor appears in footage obtained during federal raids on Diddy's Miami mansion. While officials haven't confirmed the identity, some including Gandal and alleged victims suggest it could be TD Jake. These tapes are believed to be a key reason behind Jake's growing concern as their release could severely damage his reputation and potentially lead to legal consequences.
or his celebrity friends is going to speak or say nothing until they're either contacted or they know what they really got. So you feel like they might be worried that they might be on tape at one of Diddy parties doing something they wasn't supposed to be doing? I think that the celebrities that may be worried is because what Lil Rob said.
The Rob said in this affidavit that Diddy had every room taped and bugged. Diddy had Yo, can you imagine? He had every room taped and bugged and they found little bugs or little tape recorders.
I mean little little those micro um projectors or whatever like that or video cameras. They found them in the house, bro. So by them having those things in the house and people know there's drugs, there's alcohol, there's loose women, there's loose men, woman on woman, man on man.
All kind of crazy [ __ ] Bro, they just wondering who or when they're going to let this stuff be known. Several legal experts have echoed a troubling pattern in the allegations against Diddy and his circle, suggesting the alleged abuse wasn't solely driven by desire, but by control and dominance. TD Jake's accuser has shared a similar account, claiming he was made to feel powerless and humiliated, even recalling a moment where Jake allegedly told him he was owned.
These claims point to deeper issues of manipulation and authority at the heart of the controversy. So why did you believe in these cases and why didn't you believe in others that you were presented with? Well, the thing with a a sexual abuser is they follow a pattern.
they fall to type and you become very uh clear on what that pattern is, particularly a serial sexual abuser. And these cases were all identical in the facts, identical in the story. It was beginning, middle, conclusion.
Boom. None of them knew each other. Did you have them meet?
No. Did you have them coordinate stories? No.
No. Do you think they had any contact with each other before they came to you? Absolutely not.
And when you were talking to them, well, first the ones that you didn't take, why not? Stories didn't make sense. Stories didn't fit the pattern.
Stories were not credible. I mean, this is my 30th year as a lawyer. I can I've tried over 100 cases.
I can assess whether somebody's story is credible. And if I don't believe it, I'm not going to put my name on a pleading, sign it, and file it in court. I'm not doing that.
And that's what I did with the 60 plus cases that I rejected. And this is not really your your area of expertise. If people look you up, uh, you know, celebrity lawsuits is not really where you make your bones.
Why this? Well, it's I do I have handled I was involved in the Weinstein litigation. I was involved in the Paduk litigation.
I was involved in the Hayden litigation. Why did I do this? I do this because it's important.
I think it's important for people to be heard, have their chance to get the power back. Because sexual abuse, sexual assault is about one thing. taking power, humiliating, demeaning some a person and a victim.
It has nothing to do with sex. And so I think it's important. I think it's important to get the word out.
I think it's important for men to feel, hey, look, I can come out and be heard just like a woman could. And the defense that look, they knew what they were getting into. Uh the these are regrets.
They went there, they partied, and now they see a pocket. Uh no, I don't think so. Um one my client was Were they gay men?
Uh one was bisexual. Uh the other ones were not and they were going there. The client who was bisexual worked for Diddy.
Didd he owed him money for doing errands for him and being his step and fetch for lack of a better word. And I think it was a power move. It was a clear power move because this guy had the nerve to come to him and say you owe me money.
And so did he said come on to the Intercontinental Hotel. He gives him the drug, knocks him out, sodomizes him. And I won't use the term that uh my client used, but I will he said he tried to turn me into his b- word.
And I think it was a clear power move on each and every occasion. I think the ones that took place um in the park height that wasn't partying. He he met my client met him at a nightclub in the city here with a music producer.
He didn't think he was getting into that. The the man who was was in the Hamptons, he thought he was going to a white party. Who wouldn't want to go to a white party?
I would have gone to a white party back in the day. I wouldn't go now, but they went there innocently, and this is what happened. Some speculate that TD Jake may have been another figure caught in Diddy's alleged web of influence.
According to claims, Diddy would invite high-profile guests to his parties, allegedly drug them, and secretly record compromising footage. This material was then reportedly used for leverage. It's been suggested that this may be how Diddy maintained influence over certain individuals, possibly including Jake's, though none of this has been confirmed.
It's all about the money. They saw what he did to Cassie with the kicking, the punching. They saw what they did to Cassie.
They know that nobody in America like that. So now these people are represented by a brand whether it's something about the music, clothing, movies. They not going to come out and speak on nothing that has anything to do with them.
And they praying that they not on the tape doing crazy stuff, being oiled up in the whole nine yards. They praying. So until the feds say, "Hey yo, listen here.
Uh, we got you on Hey, buddy. We got you on this tape and uh girl looked like she was pretty young. We're not going to we're not going to show it, but uh we need you to come and testify against Brother Love, P.
Diddy, Puff Daddy, you know, Sean Combmes. " That's when they going to start talking and they're not going to be talking in his favor when the feds come to them and show them what they got on tape. Cuz if he had 250 tapes all over the 250 cameras all over the house, somebody got caught stealing a cookie out the cookie jar.
It could be your favorite pastor. It could be your favorite politician, but they didn't think they was being watched. And Brother Love was watching.
Yeah. I mean, TD Jake, he even came out and said anything. And him and Diddy was real cool.
Amen. Amen. Yeah, man.
And I and I know the people in the congregation over there is shaking in their boots because this man didn't led them probably allegedly allegedly probably led them to damnation because those people hearts going to be broken if that man is seen on those tapes doing anything. Because people always put their faith in the pastor instead of putting their faith in God. And what they need to do is understand that he's just a man.
And he has a history. It's not looking too good for him. So you feel like Celebs are worried that they might be on tape.
Oh, they know. That's why they ain't speaking up or saying nothing? Yeah, I was at a daddy party, but I know I ain't do nothing.
Uh, when you don't know somebody's taping you, when you don't notice somebody is videoing you in some kind of form of fashion, you and you got that alcohol, you got the drugs in you. They're a little loose, bro. They let down all their inhibitions.
The music is pumping. He said it himself. He got it so hot in there that you got to take your clothes off.
He said that itself, bro. Despite Diddy's long list of celebrity connections, few have spoken in his defense, raising questions about what they may know or fear. The silence appears tied to concerns over being linked to disturbing footage reportedly collected from Diddy's homes.
Some believe that blackmail, not loyalty, is keeping people quiet. Bishop TD Jake Jakes, once closely associated with Diddy, has yet to address the situation publicly. As lawsuits unfold and more details emerge, it remains unclear whether Jake is complicit, manipulated, or simply caught up in the fallout of a powerful network under scrutiny.
