During a casual shopping trip in Larchmont on Tuesday, Osbourne was approached for a comment on Diddy's legal situation.

Unlike many high-profile individuals who have chosen to remain silent, Osbourne decided to speak out, sharing her personal experience. She stated that he had never acted inappropriately toward her in her interactions with the rapper.

"He was so nice to me, I never knew that side of him. He was so respectful to me and my family., the 72-year-old said, per the Daily Mail.

She further revealed that she was not among the A-list celebrities who received invitations to the rapper's notorious parties.

To lighten the mood, Osbourne also joked, "It's not like he's ever going to invite an older f-cking woman to a White Party."

Diddy's Lawyers Want The Names Of His Accusers

Diddy is currently facing charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

While his trial has been tentatively set for May next year, the rapper has made a key move in preparing his defense by asking that the names of his accusers be released.

According to Variety, the rapper's legal team noted that knowing the names is necessary because Diddy's case is "unique," adding that several individuals chose to accuse him "due to his celebrity status and wealth."

They also claimed that the "publicity of his previously settled lawsuit" with ex-Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura and the alleged "grand jury leaks and false, inflammatory statements by the DHS agents" played a part in the influx of allegations against the rapper.

"This has had a pervasive ripple effect, resulting in a torrent of allegations by unidentified complainants, spanning from the false to outright absurd," Diddy's attorneys added in a letter to the Manhattan federal court judge.

Diddy's Attorneys Believe New Accusations May Deprive The Rapper Of A Fair Trial

Diddy's attorneys also addressed the lawsuits from 120 accusers represented by Tony Buzbee and how it might negatively affect the rapper's trial.

"Counsel for these accusers recently convened a press conference at which he claimed to represent 120 accusers making outrageous and deeply prejudicial allegations, including violent sexual assault and sexual abuse of minors," they said.

They also claimed it was all a "publicity stunt" because Buzbee garnered the accusers' attention by posting a broadcast on Instagram with a '1-800' number that reportedly "received 12,000 calls in the first 24 hours."

The lawyers further remarked: "These accusations came on the heels of more than a dozen lawsuits previously filed and currently pending, several of which have already been discredited but only after irreparably damaging Mr. Combs' character and reputation.

"These swirling allegations have created a hysterical media circus that, if left unchecked, will irreparably deprive Mr. Combs of a fair trial, if they haven't already."

In the meantime, the rapper will remain in detention in a facility in New York ahead of his trial. He was previously denied bail twice, first by Judge Robyn Tarnofsky and subsequently by Judge Andrew L. Carter Jr.

He recently filed an appeal to the second denial after Carter Jr. reassigned the case to a new judge, Arun Subramanian, on October 3 due to a full docket.

However, Diddy's chances of being released before the trial took a hit when an appeals court judge denied his immediate release on Friday. His fate now rests in the hands of a three-judge panel from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, who will review his bail request, per AP News.

If Diddy is eventually found guilty of the charges against him, he could receive a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

Despite Diddy being in jail, a source who spoke to People Magazine claimed that the rapper is still very influential and powerful.

The insider said, "He's so powerful. Everyone was afraid to cross him. Even though he's behind bars now, he's still so powerful. We all knew it even back then."

They further noted that at the height of Diddy's influence, those around him believed his need for control stemmed from his intelligence.

"Everyone always chalked it up to being a creative genius when it came to his obsession with controlling things," the insider shared.
