Deep dives
Allegations against Diddy by Cassie
Cassie sued Diddy alleging a pattern of control and abuse, including drug use, beatings, and forced encounters with prostitutes. Diddy denied the allegations. The timing of the lawsuit settlement suggests a strategic move by Angelina Jolie to paint Brad Pitt in a negative light.
Brad Pitt and Ennis relationship
Reports indicate that Brad Pitt and Ennis's relationship is not exclusive. Despite this, headlines and sources continue to emphasize their happiness and love for each other. This narrative serves as a counter to Angelina Jolie's claims about Pitt's behavior amid their divorce.
Understanding the use of sources in media
The term 'sources say' is often used in celebrity news to protect the identity of individuals who provide information. While sources can be anonymous, they are typically vetted by reporters and contribute to the overall narrative of a story. Sources provide valuable insight, but readers should also consider the context and multiple sources in evaluating the credibility of information.
