Jimmy Kimmel recently took a jab at Donald Trump regarding his past praise for Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was arrested on federal charges related to sex trafficking and sexual abuse. After Diddy was denied bail, Kimmel quipped that Trump was likely “getting his character references lined up” as he aired a clip from *The Celebrity Apprentice*. In the clip, contestant Aubrey O’Day described her time working with Diddy, to which Trump responded, “I love Diddy. You know he’s a good friend of mine, he’s a good guy.”
Kimmel humorously noted, “To be fair, he also thinks Kim Jong-Un is a good guy. Only the best people,” highlighting the former president’s tendency to defend controversial figures.
O’Day, who was a member of Diddy’s girl group Danity Kane, later reflected on her experiences with the rapper and expressed that she feels “validated” by his arrest. She shared on social media that this moment represents a win for women everywhere, emphasizing the significance of justice in allowing survivors to move forward.
Diddy, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges, faces serious allegations, including coercing women into sexual acts. Reports revealed that authorities found over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant during a raid of his home, purportedly used in the so-called “Freak Offs.” Kimmel joked about the bizarre nature of the raid, questioning the situation with a comment about a trip to CVS.
As the legal proceedings continue, the public and former associates like O’Day are closely watching the developments surrounding Diddy’s case.
