Has Daddy Diddy turned from a badass urban rapper into a whiny 💞suburban soccer mom?
If you’ve spent time at school soccer practices in the ’burbs, chances are good that you’ve seen insufferable parents shrieking bloody murder from the s♔idelines. Now, change the sport to football and add an entitled celebrity papa to the mix, and you’ve got the World’s Scariest Helicopter Dad. That would be Sean “Diddy” Combs.
“I’m gonna f- -k you up!” Diddy𓃲 ranted last week at Sal Alosi, 38, the strength and conditioning coach for his son Justin Combs’ football team, the Bruins, at the University of California, Los Angeles, quoted witnesღses as saying.
T♎hen Diddy, 45, allegedly swung a kettlebell (a heavy, cannonball-shaped weight with a♔ handle, usually made of cast iron) at an intern.
Police charged His Diddyness with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon — the kettlebell — and one count each of making terrori🦹stic thr✅eats and battery. He posted bail and was released after nine hours in custody.
The younger Combs, 21, is set to be a redshirt junior defensive back this fall, but has pla꧑yed in only a handful of games in three years.
He’d missed several workouts and wasn’t putting much effort into an off-season practice, according to the . So Alosi yelled at him, kicked him off the field and ordered him not to return to practice until the end ﷽of summer.
Diddy was not pleased.
Hey — if my kid gets dissed, I shut up and grab a shot of whiskey. (My daughter would be ꧋mortified if I complained.)
Alosi had scratches on his fꦦace and his shirt was ripped, sources said, but no one was seriously hurt in the hissyfit, which was caught on security video.
UCLA staffers deride Diddy as a jerk and a “helicopter dad” for constantly hovering over his ♈son. 𓆉But while they think he should be banned from the playing field, they reportedly want charges against him dropped for the good of the team.
A Diddy representative gave me a different account of the fracas. It started, said the rep, after father and son drove to ꦓAlosi’s office at the campus training facility “just to talk.”
“Justin has been verbally and psychologically abused by this coach for the last three years,” the rep said, and Alosi also rags on the young man’s famous father. Six people jumped Diddy, this person said, as he confronted the coach, so he 🎃grabbed a kettlebell to his chest and held it in front of his body “in a defensive position.” He did not swing it, the rep insisted.
Born in Harlem and raised in the Westchester County town of Mount Vernon, Diddy, the never-married 𒁃rap mogul, is a father of six kids by three different women. Last year, he bought a $40 million LA mansion. Forbes magazine estimates that his net worth is $735 millio🅰n.
Wielding hard🍎 objects has gotten him in trouble before. In 1999, when he still performed under the name Puff Daddy, he pleaded guilty to second-degree harassment after he and two associates allegedly clocked a New Yorඣk City record executive in the head with a champagne bottle, a chair and a telephone. A judge sentenced him to spend one day in an anger-management class.
That year, he was acquitted at trial of weapons-related charge💮s in a Manhattan nightclub shooting in which three bystanders were injured, and was cleared of an allegation that he bribed his chauffeur into taking the rap. Last year, he fought in a Miami nightclub with Canadian rapper Drake, who was treated in a hospital for a shoulder injury. But the guys reportedly made up in a phone call, and plan to team up in lucrative ventures.
Alosi apparently is no day at the beach, either. A former strength and conditioning coach for the New York Jets, he was suspended and f﷽ined by the National Football League in 2010 for tripping a player on the opposing team during a game, and resigned from his job a month later.
While attending Long Island’s Hofstra University in 1999, Alosi pleaded guilty to a charge of harassment after he and🧸 pals allegedly broke into a dorm and beat three students. A judge sentenced him to perform community service. He has worked at UCLA since 2012.
Can Alosi win the allegiance of Justin Combs?
“I thank God for having a father that’s always there for me. Love you pops!” he wroꦕte in a caption for an Instagram picture he posted this past Tuesday of him with hᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚis dad.
I appreciate fatherly ⛎loyalty. But Diddy needs to park his helicopter and quit buzzing🔯 his kid. Justin Combs needs to man up and stop hiding behind Dad — or quit the football team.
Even a rich, privileged celebrity spawn 🃏must obey an authority figure, even one he doesn’t lꦛike. So must Dad.
Supreme Court leaves gay-marriage opponents at the altar
The Supreme Court ꦏvoted 5-4 Friday to legalize same-sex marriage throughout the United States.
But while clergymen and -women can legally refuse to join gays and lesbians in🦂 matrimony, others may not refuse services to homosexual couples.
The Supreme Court declined to consideᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚr the case of a Christian photographer from New Mexico who contends that her constitutional rights to religious freedom and free speech were violated after she faced fines for refusing to shoot a lesbian🎃 commitment ceremony.
An upstate New York Christian couple refuseღd to allow the marriage ceremony of two lesbians to be held on their farm, and paid $130,000 in penalties.
Around the country, Christian bakers and a florist ꧒face hefty fines set by sta൲te governments for declining to cater to gay nuptials.
Gay marriaꦐge is here. But the na𒀰tion’s highest court should also uphold the rights of citizens who dare to oppose it.
Read a book, land a Leo
Bimbos are out. Babes withꦺ fancy degrees are in. Scruffy leading man Leonardo DiCaprio, 40, has been spotted canoodling from New York City to the Hamptons with Kelly Rohrbach, 25, crowned this year’s Swimsuit Rookie of the Year by Sports Illustrated magazine.
The bikin🤡i model earned a degree from elite Georgetown University, acts in Los Angeles and is said to be a gifted conversationalist.
Can Rohrbach pull an Amal Clooney? The stylish, tril꧟ingual Lebanese-English human-rights lawyer, 36, who has earned degrees from NYU School of Law and Oxford University, won the hand in marriage of another longtime playboy, Hollywood hot guy George Clooney, 53. (She can support him if his next movie bombs at the box office like “Tomorrowland.’’)
Ladies — if you want to snag that hard-to-get guy, feed your brain while toning your𝓀 glutes.
I’m flushed with excitement!
New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer has proposed legislation that would require single-occupancy public restrooms in the city to be turned into “gender-neutral’’ facilities in order to prevent the harassment of transgender people. Multiple-stall lavator💛ies would not be affected.
“Men’’ and “Women’’ signs have already been removed from single-stall bathrooms in three A🐽merican cities. Hooray! Soon, I might not have to wait in line to use a restaurant’s ladies’ room while a men’s room is vacant.
But I doubt that this plan is about me.
