spending two and a half months behind bars hasn't stopped the rumor mill from churning out new stories about P Diddy the latest that the disgraced music icon is responsible for actor Jamie Fox's mysterious hospitalization last year new allegations say Diddy could have poisoned Jamie Fox and apparently Fox is telling all in his upcoming Netflix special but could there be any truth to these allegations and if not are we looking at a new defamation case we'll break it all down with attorney Joe Richardson who says the Diddy conversation is far from over we're inching closer to
the 3month mark of Diddy calling the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn his home and after last week's thirdd bail denial it seems like that's where Diddy will be staying at least for the foreseeable future he's being held there on federal charges of racketeering conspiracy sex trafficking by forc fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution Federal prosecutors alleg Diddy was The Mastermind in a sex trafficking scheme with some reports saying his alleged illegal activity dates back to the early '90s didd is accused of drugging dozens of victims sexually assaulting them and recording it as
a means of blackmail to keep survivors quiet but now those same recordings are being used against Diddy they're even mentioned in the Federal indictment against him it seems that civil suits against Diddy are being filed weekly at this point as more people continue to break their silence and it seems that the latest person to call out Diddy is none other than Academy award-winning actor Jamie Fox Fox made headlines in April of last year when his daughter kin announced he was recovering in the hospital but what exactly he was recovering from was a mystery by May
of 2023 Fox was out of the hospital recuperating at home after he was reportedly treated in a physical rehab facility in Chicago with a focus on strokes and brain injuries last summer Fox addressed his health issues for the first time saying he'd been to quot hell and back he explained only a bit more saying he had a headache then got an Advil from a friend after that fox said he was quote gone for 20 days he didn't appear in public until December of 2023 to accept a critic's choice Association Vanguard award Fox still didn't say
exactly what happened but revealed he couldn't walk for a time during his recovery jumped to this year when Fox recorded his comedy special it's called what had happened was and is supposed to premiere on Netflix it was during a stand-up routine performance in Atlanta that Jamie Fox taped this that was back in October now the special hasn't been released yet so we aren't totally sure what he says but according to some audience members who were there at the taping of this special Fox mentions his illness and connects it to P Diddy three separate audience members
told page six Jamie Fox mentioned Diddy in the routine blaming Diddy for his health issues two audience members also spoke to the Daily Mail saying the same thing adding that Jamie Fox apparently contacted the FBI about P Diddy all this was also discussed on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience it's a long form podcast that boasts more than 2,000 episodes and more than 18 million subscribers on this particular episode Joe Rogan spoke with his guests Shane Gillis Mark Norman and Ari schaer about Jamie Fox and the allegations we don't have the rights to the
podcast's audio or video so we can't show it to you but here's what was said Joe Rogan said quote Jamie Fox just recently said that P didy poisoned him and that's why he got that stroke he talked about it on stage he talked about it on his Netflix special Rogan went on to say quote bro I think there was some crazy stuff going on I think murders alleged murders a bunch of people got pneumonia a bunch of convenient people died of pneumonia Mark Norman also chimed in saying quote Jamie Fox said I didn't have a
heart attack because of the vaccine it was Diddy shutting me up here's where we're going to turn to attorney Joe Richardson to make sense of all of this Joe thanks for coming on with us today good to see you once again so right from the jump what do you make about these allegations that P didy may have poisoned Jamie Fox where do you start I mean there's a lot of allegations surrounding what P didy may have done because seemed like a lot of people around him dying Kim Porter died Alby sure almost died you know
there's so there's a lot being claimed Andre harell died so you know there's this back drop of not only what he's dealing with criminally himself but all of these other things uh that have happened with other people that have been around him you know coincidence certainly makes for interesting news which is why we're talking about it samie FOX also said what he said during the filming of what is a comedy special and so uh people have Representatives have said well you know he was just joking Etc but he hasn't gone out of his way to
say hey I was joking this was not serious you know that kind of thing either so you really don't know what to make of it other than the idea that this is just another allegation related to things around pady that have had health problems if not died all together so there's some sensationalism to it but there are some irony some some coincidence and you're not quite sure what to do with it all of this comes out of Jamie Fox's upcoming Netflix special and as you pointed out it's obviously a comedy routine he's being funny throughout
all of it but we don't know as you said whether he was joking about this or if it was more of a somber tone and he was being more serious if that's the case and he is being very serious and saying straight up this is what happened could he face any sort of liability for making these allegations against P Diddy yeah I mean sure there's an argument that there could be defamation right because uh you know defamation uh would be in this case maybe it' even be defamation per se because certain things certain areas uh
uh some things that have to do with someone's profession uh things that have to do with a couple of other areas damages would actually be presumed but the question becomes whether P didy would really have that on the front of his queue as it were to deal with that because not only can Jamie Fox maybe say it was a joke but so can P Diddy right and so that's probably the way to pass it off for now particularly given he's got bigger fish to fry I'm wondering if it's the same situation for Joe Rogan too
because he brought this up on his podcast that has millions of people who watch it on YouTube or listen on their phones wherever it may be it's going out to a huge audience and he actually throws around the word murder says that P Diddy may have murdered some people do you think it's kind of the same situation there oh I could have just been joking and Diddy is dealing with other stuff I didn't hear how how exactly Joe Rogan termed it but when he says may have you you know what I mean um he's speculating
he's now a reporter right he's not necessarily a person that's saying this is what definitively happened and therefore we ought to connect to that it does beg this larger issue though the Joe Rogan's of the world the the the Alex Jones the all these other folks that alleg conspiracy theories and the extent to which this is damaging enough to actually create defamation causes of action we saw how that went with Alex Jones um and so there's a question as to whether something would be out there that way there's one question is how he terms it
the other question is you know what didd he actually does with it because once again we're in a situation where he's got a whole lot of things he could be dealing with and would he put this at the at the front even if there's assuming there's some potential gray area but most of the time if damages isn't presumed you got to demonstrate damage demonstration uh defamation is harder against people that are already already famous and he's already got a lot of things being said about him that aren't so good and so there's a chance that
this kind of gets lost in The Fray along with everything else hey you watching our video I'm going to take a guess and say you or someone you know is a business owner maybe even starting some sort of side hustle you're trying to build I have to talk to you about our awesome sponsor ODU ODU is a free all-in-one business management software that provides you with a range of apps that help with the day-to-day of owning a business one of my personal favorite ODU apps is their project apps there are multiple views in the project
app like the Canin view that one organizes tasks by the stage or the Gant view that one gives you a timeline of your tasks seriously it makes things so simple and easy to organize also in the projects app you can directly Bill your customers according to time spent on tasks which is really just a big timesaver right now you can click on our link odu.com lcs6 and try Odo and their projects app for free today something else I wanted to touch on about all of this you mentioned getting lost in the fry because obviously what
we're talking about is P Diddy and his federal charges that's the big one I mean that is why he's at MDC as we speak right now so that's probably the thing that's looming over him most of all and now we're getting allegations that Jamie Fox says he was the one who contacted the police the FBI and kind of tipped them off before did's investigation and his eventual arrest what do you make of that allegation he can say that until he's blew in the face but what the FBI what got the FBI going is that Cassie
case that's that's what got the FBI going they they had you know for whatever they might have been thinking about before um the Cassie case kind of brought it alive in a Living Color where they could really see how a criminal case could come together now is it possible that Jamie uh fox or someone else contacted them or that someone else that we don't know about that's famous got contacted by the police saying um or the FBI saying we are looking at x or y or Z and you know uh what side would you be
on it are you a potential defendant looks like you may be you know any or all of that stuff could have been going on but and there might have been some things where they were tipped off and some things that they saw to begin with based on their investigation but I will still say that Cassie was the hook a written out complaint that he settled based on the allegations alone within 24 hours it was already publicly available information and it was a road map so it may have colored what was already being said what was
already being alleged and it could have come from any of a number of sources uh including Jamie Fox theoretically how do you express those things how would you know these things unless you're there as well isn't there a possibility that maybe commonsensically not even talking as a lawyer here maybe uh that you are you know taking a chance coloring everything that's going on with P Didi but you're not there watching it or participating in it who wouldn't have that discussion with the police the FBI unless they absolutely had to and I don't know if anyone
would I'm glad that you brought up the Cassie lawsuit too because I want to point out all roads lead back to her and she's the one that we believe is mentioned in the Federal indictment she started this and some of the future lawsuits that were filed after she filed last November they even mentioned Cassie's lawsuit like basically Cassie gave us strength to come forward so I think that's really important that you highlighted that aspect of it but we know Cassie spoke with the federal investigators I know that you mentioned we aren't sure if someone would
want to speak with them as far as incriminating themselves but do you think they could approach Jamie Fox oh yeah absolutely and I am sure that some approaches that haven't made the news have occur I'm certain of that um you know uh these these allegations that became the federal case um didn't come out of thin air there was speculation about Cassie for a long time there's speculation about P Didi for a long time so they they didn't just come out of th a and the good news for the Jamie foxes of the world or whoever
the JLo and all these folks it seemed like the the federal government's uh the the FBI's Focus was on py and maybe that's where the evidence took them but it was on PID but that doesn't mean that they didn't get pieces they didn't reach out and get pieces from people who they think U may have been in the room or may have caused to say something in order to make sure that they stay out of the news or that they're in the news related to these things on their own terms like for instance joking about
it during a Netflix special I wouldn't put it past uh the FBI to have had those types of discussions but there's no reason that they would necessarily be public on someone that was cooperative that's the interesting side of all of this I mean we're paying attention to this because prior to his arrest P Diddy was beloved I mean he was a Grammy award-winning artist everyone loved him his white parties it was great and it's kind of a fall from grace now that we're watching it and seeing okay he went from mansions to MDC but there
have also been allegations about other celebrities that were involved some have been listed as celebrity A or B in civil lawsuits so I think that's another reason why people are so interested in this case specifically because there are a lot of names that we know just from Reading People magazine do you think that there could be any defendants that are added I know that you said P didy seems to be the main target target of the feds but do you think they could look at some of the other celebrities I think I don't necessarily expect
that on the criminal side um and I could be wrong and Anything could happen I don't expect that on the criminal side on the Civil side I think it's more of a possibility um because it's a good way uh for these particular people these celebrity a celebrity B celebrity C to keep themselves out of the news to the extent that such things actually did occur that they were a part of that they participated in ETC then then maybe you you you would have that uh on the Civil side and I guess it would just be
up to those those plaintiffs um to manage how they're you know right now P didy seems to be the defendant there's not a whole lot more fameous defendants the question becomes how those plaintiffs uh manage that you know and what discussions they might be having to keep certain things from getting in the news I mean I don't think it's lost on whoever celebrity A or B or C might be in our mind that PTI absolutely created a huge problem for himself aside from if he did what was alleged that he had done by not settling
the case the Cassie case before uh the the allegations be became public and so I would think that you know depending on you you pressing the right button there are certain people that would know take the message from that and say if this has the potential to get hot on me I'm gonna write a check and I'm gonna get out of Dodge and I'm gonna get confidentiality and I'm not going to get talked about particularly if uh one uh in that category has an indication that they probably wouldn't be named criminally right then if you
you know settle it civil before it becomes something then you uh you know hopefully uh put a lid on it and and a bow and nobody ever knows other than their idle speculation of the fact that you were at Diddy parties everybody in Hollywood New York was at Diddy parties at one time or another so then of itself that's not going to be a distinguishing thing so I wouldn't be surprised if some of those discussions are occurring um uh to keep those folks uh out of the news uh you know with their handlers their lawyers
Etc we have seen some reports about all of that that these celebrities that right now are unnamed settled before the lawsuits could be filed so that we weren't making a law crime episode talking about them and name dropping them so they're hoping to have their names completely out of the headlines but then that begs the question if the feds know about them and are talking to the victims that saw celebrity a b and c at these parties they were doing things that were illegal could these people be called to testify at this really public trial
of pidi that's happening in May absolutely they could be but here's the good news in federal court um you're not going to be on television um you know because it's Federal there's something about being able to watch something in real time and now people have Impressions about it people have Impressions about it some other way now listen nobody wants to be a news about this thing so if I'm Jamie Fox or you know celebrity a or celebrity B you know I might have an an egotistical opinion about how well my painting my drawing was done
by the court artist but that's different than me running in real time on television you know getting cross-examined getting grilled in front of America as opposed to in front of the jury and everybody in the courtroom so I imagine that they would be saying that you know if I have to testify here and that's my reality um that's where I am but there are some ways to get out in front of it and be out in front of it particularly if they're one of a lot of different people it may have the the potential to
lessen the blow particularly in a situation where America's not going to have the real time visual that it would in a state court case that's a good point it'll be interesting to see what celebrities are called if Jamie Fox is called to the stand and I guess for now we're just going to have to wait and see what he does say in this Netflix special that's supposed to come out for now thank you Joe for coming on with us today thanks always a pleasure in terms of the Jamie Fox allegations Diddy's team denies having any
involvement P Diddy also denies the other allegations brought against him too he's pleaded not guilty to those federal charges right now Diddy's federal trial is set to begin in May of next year and Jamie Fox's Netflix special is set to premere on December 10th for long crime I'm Sierra gasby
