Steve Harvey has removed a tweet from 2017 in which he praised Sean “Diddy” Combs, saying, “My brother @Diddy is doing a world of good for these kids.” This move follows a wave of celebrities distancing themselves from Diddy after his recent arrest on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and other crimes. Usher and Megan Fox also deleted or modified their social media accounts amid Diddy’s controversy.
Diddy’s legal troubles stem from multiple lawsuits, including one from his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, accusing him of physical abuse and orchestrating drug-fueled sex parties known as “freak-offs.” Federal investigators continue to examine these claims, and more high-profile individuals are taking precautionary steps to avoid being linked to Diddy.
Harvey, Usher, and Fox have not commented directly on the reasons for deleting their social media posts. However, Harvey’s decision mirrors similar actions from other celebrities as the fallout from Diddy’s case continues to unfold.
