P. Diddy’s career has started to implode after an FBI raid on his house, and several allegations about abuse and depraved parties have come to light. One former employee of Diddy’s might bring even more drama.
Celebrities often have assistants who help take care of smaller matters for them. Those assistants typically have a lot of contact with celebrities and end up hearing and seeing a lot of things.
One of Diddy’s most famous assistants is Fonzworth Bentley. He worked with Diddy for years before he eventually left and pursued his own career.
According to his Instagram, Fonzworth may be ready to talk about some of the things he witnessed as Diddy’s assistant. He posted a photo that had a quote from Jay-Z on it that read, ‘When I get nervous, I tell the truth.’ Fonzworth also commented on the photo saying that he was going to upload that picture for now but that he might delete it later.
Fans speculated that Fonzworth was talking about the drama currently unfolding with Diddy. Their relationship goes back years.
Fonzworth was just working as a restaurant manager when he met Diddy. The rapper took him on as an assistant, and Fonzworth took on several duties. He’d help Diddy style his hair, run errands, attend his business meetings, take care of phone calls, wake him up in the morning, and basically do whatever it was that Diddy needed to be done.
Because he was often seen at Diddy’s side, some people started calling him Diddy’s manservant. Fonzworth hated the title, but he did his job well. He was even seen on some music videos or attending special events and award shows with Diddy.
Fonzworth Left Hollywood
Known for his style, Fonzworth started to get a following, too. When he was eventually ready to break from Diddy, he ended up starting a few careers. He’s worked as a music producer, menswear designer, choreographer, stylist, and creative director.
Fonzworth also left Hollywood to return home to the city of Atlanta. There, he married Faune A. Chambers, an actress who has been in movies like Bring It On Again, White Chicks, and Epic Movie. The couple have two children together.
While Fonzworth has spent most of the last few years out of the spotlight, that might change if he chooses to come forward and tell his story. But what sort of stories might he have to tell?
According to CNN, the lawsuits facing Diddy are serious. They include charges of racketeering, sexual assault, and sex trafficking.
Racketeering is a type of organized crime in which one person makes a bad business deal with someone else. It basically harms the other person.
Sexual assault is self-explanatory, although it’s worth mentioning that the lawsuit also claims that actor Cuba Gooding Jr. was one of the perpetrators. Human trafficking is when someone forces another person to perform certain acts against their will. Diddy is accused of having some people who were trafficked at some of his parties.
At the time of writing, Diddy’s lawyers have spoken for him and denied all the claims made against him. They said the allegations are all lies. If Fonzworth decides to come forward with information that he witnessed, it could spell trouble for Diddy.
