Best friend of Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' late ex-wife has shocking reaction to verdict
Kim Porter's best friend, Eboni Elektra, has stayed silent about Sean 'Diddy' Combs' legal troubles — until now. The 54-year-old broke her silence via Instagram on Wednesday after the rapper's mixed verdict was revealed, reports Page Six. The Grammy winner, notably, was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering. 'PRAISE GOD,' Elektra captioned a close-up photo of Combs' face. 'OPINIONS …. we are all entitled to them. MISTAKES … we all make them. JUDGING … we all do it. GOSSIP …. we are all guilty of it. 'GOD'S WILL … is higher than any opinion, mistake, Judgement, or gossip,' she continued. 'If this is God's will for Puff / diddy, than that's His will. In the end, what we think does not compare to His will.' Elektra concluded by asking, 'WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE??? That's God's job. It's all in His hands. U never know. #isallintheword#readyourbible … my opinionâ�¤ï¸�.' T.I.'s wife, Tameka 'Tiny' Harris supported Elektra in the comments, defending 'being freaky.' Many social media users, however, blasted Elektra's reaction, calling her a 'clown.' One claimed, 'Poor Kim it's becoming very apparent she had no REAL friends,' while another added, 'You haven't made not one comment about this until now. Really should've kept it that way, but hey.' A third pointed out that Combs' on-again, off-again ex-girlfriend Cassie — who testified in Combs' six-week trial about the alleged rape and physical abuse she endured during their relationship — follows Elektra and may have seen the 'sick' post. Cassie, 38, dated the Bad Boy Records founder between 2007 and 2018. Porter, for her part, was romantically linked to Combs from 1994 to 2007, and the duo shared four kids — Quincy, 34, Christian 'King,' 27, and twins D'Lila and Jessie, 18. Combs, notably, is also the father of Justin, 31, Chance, 18, and Love, 2. Porter, whose children have supported Combs in court, died in November 2018 at age 47. Five years later, Combs' legal battle kicked off when Cassie sued him in a bombshell lawsuit, which he quickly settled for $20 million. The dancer's claims, as well as a 2016 video that surfaced of Combs beating Cassie in a hotel, led many to speculate about his dynamic with Porter — including the late model's 'disgusted' dad. 'I didn't know he could stoop that low,' Jake Porter told Rolling Stone last year, saying it gave him a 'different outlook' that made him 'wonder' about Combs. The record executive was arrested in September 2024 following headline-making raids on his homes, with his federal court case beginning in May. Combs is facing up to 20 years in prison. He was denied bail on Wednesday due to a 'disregard for the rule of law and a propensity of violence.' Combs' sentencing is scheduled for October 3.

Olivia Munn claims director ‘wanted to ruin' her career over on-set clash
A director Olivia Munn worked with allegedly tried to kill her acting career in retaliation for their on-set feud. The actress, 45, alleged on the Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast earlier this week that her manager informed her that an unnamed filmmaker had been badmouthing her to casting directors. She said her rep told her, 'Hey, you're gonna get the role. But first, I guess there's another director who they know and he says that on The Newsroom you were late all the time and really combative.' Munn denied the director's claims about her tardiness and chalked up the rest to him just 'trying to bash' her because they had disagreements about creative differences on set. She said she worked with the filmmaker on Seasons 2 and 3 of the popular HBO series, and they particularly butted heads over her romance storyline with Thomas Sadoski's character, Don Keefer. 'He kept trying to force me to carry that storyline — only on my side,' Munn claimed. She also alleged that the director would ask her to flirtatiously 'smile' or 'kiss' her love interest when her character, Sloan Sabbith, was supposed to be in the middle of working. 'I've got this new Bloomberg machine, and I'm so excited, and he's like, 'Can you look out at him and smile?'' the X-Men: Apocalypse star claimed. Munn claimed that one 'insane' request was when Sabbith found out Keefer had been doing 'insider trading' and the director told her, 'I don't think that you're that angry at him. It's kind of funny.' 'I just fought back so much,' she said, claiming that the final straw for her was one scene when she simply had to tell the director, 'No, I'm not doing (that).' He allegedly responded, 'Look, it's my job as a director to see all the different colours of the rainbow and you are looking at only one colour, and I don't think you realise how you're coming off.' When she asked him to clarify how she was being perceived — to which he allegedly replied, 'Really forceful and strong' — the Predator star said she told him, 'Great, that's what I wanted,' and walked away. Once their issues became known to those involved in her future auditions, Munn said she had her reps explain the situation and she said she still got the role. 'But I will always remember that,' the Your Friends & Neighbors star reflected, 'just because of our conflicts of how we approached a role, he wanted to ruin my chances of getting anything else.' According to IMDb, there were 11 male directors that worked on The Newsroom from 2012 to 2014. Munn's rep did not immediately return Page Six's request for further comments on the matter.

Comfort-core baby names are trending – why parents are choosing vintage names
Don't miss out on the headlines from Parenting. Followed categories will be added to My News. When Mormon influencer and Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, Jen Affleck announced the arrival of her third baby last week - a sweet daughter named Penelope Phyliss - it didn't take long for the comment section to explode with love. And not just the 'She's perfect!' kind of love (although yes, also that). But the 'Oh my gosh, Phyliss! That was my nan's name!' kind of love. There was something about the name - the gentle throwback, the unexpected softness, the unshakeable grandma-core energy - that made people feel something. And isn't that what we're all craving right now? A little feeling. A little connection. A little comfort. Welcome to the comfort-core era - where we're baking banana bread, rewatching Gilmore Girls, and naming our babies like they were born in 1925. It's a gentle rebellion against the chaos of modern life, a nostalgic return to what feels slow, safe and familiar. In baby name terms, that means soft syllables, vintage charm, and names that sound like they should come stitched into a quilt. Want to join the family? Sign up to our Kidspot newsletter for more stories like this. Why old-lady names are suddenly feeling new again Baby name trends are always evolving. But the current wave of 'old-lady names' - the Gladyses, the Joans, the Dorothys, the Mabels and now, the Phylisses - doesn't feel like a passing TikTok aesthetic. It feels like a collective exhale. It feels like comfort. Because when the world outside feels unpredictable, many of us turn inward. We cocoon. We nest. We crave the familiar - whether it's sourdough starters, nanna rugs, or giving our babies names that sound like they should come with a crochet bonnet and a side of butterscotch. RELATED: The changing fashions of baby names The names that feel like a hug There's something steady and grounding about the names of our grandmothers and great-aunties. They remind us of a time we didn't live through but somehow remember in our bones. They feel like linoleum floors, lace curtains, and Women's Weekly cookbooks with pages stuck together from use. They feel like a safe place to land. And maybe that's why, in a time when parenting can feel like a high-stakes performance - where every lunchbox is a chance to prove your worth and every milestone is uploaded for public comment - names like Dot or Nellie or Jean cut through the noise. They say, 'We're not here for the trends.' They say, 'We come from good stock.' They say, 'This child is loved already, just as she is.' Honouring the women who came before us Of course, there's a kind of poetic beauty to it. The idea that in raising tiny new humans, we're choosing to honour the ones who raised us. That a newborn girl might carry the same name as the woman who once carried her own mother through sleepless nights. We're not naming them after Instagram filters or pop stars - we're naming them after the women who gave us hard peppermints from their handbags, who taught us to sew on buttons and play patience. There's real reverence in that. Cardigan names are having a moment And it's not just girls. Boys are getting the vintage treatment too. Think Harold, Arthur, Stanley, Walter. These are names with cardigan energy. Cardigan names are having a moment too. They're strong, sturdy, and just a little bit dorky in the best possible way. But it's the girls' names that hit that emotional sweet spot. Maybe because so many of us were raised by or around women with these names. Maybe because they remind us of safety. Or maybe just because they're blooming lovely. Penelope Phyliss. A name with modern whimsy and old-school heart. We're not surprised she's going viral. We're not stuck in the past - we're holding on to something real Let's not pretend this trend is random. It's no coincidence that old-lady names are making a comeback in a time when the world has felt especially tough. Post-pandemic, mid-cost-of-living crisis, stuck in a digital age that keeps pulling us further away from each other… we're all searching for something to hold onto. For some of us, that 'something' is a name. We can't predict the future, but we can choose to honour the past. So go ahead and call your baby Edna. Or Mavis. Or Ruth. You're not stuck in the past. You're rooted in something real. And that, in the end, might be the most beautiful legacy of all.
