It's already been a wild 2024 for Sean “Diddy” Combs, because of all the accusations and lawsuits that have come his way. Now, a decades-old court case is once again in the spotlight as one of its victims is speaking out and pointing the finger at the Hip-Hop icon.
According Pulse, the woman who was shot during the infamous 1999 nightclub shooting that led to the arrest and trial of Diddy and Shine over the incident, now says it was the Bad Boy CEO who shot her in the face that fateful night Natania Reuben took to Instagram on Wednesday (February 28) to blast Diddy over the incident. Didi was acquitted in court, but Shine served an eight-year sentence before being deported back to his home in Belize after his release in 2009.
As for why she decided to come clean about the condition that left her crippled all these decades later, Reuben took the time to explain her motivation in the post.
Per Pulse:
“Let me tell you why this is of the utmost importance to me,” Reuben said of the current legal issues plaguing Combs. “Because I'm the woman who got shot in the face in that Club New York shooting on December 27th, 1999. I've told everyone since then, even the surgeon who did the surgery to remove the bullet, I was shot in the face with a 9mm hollow point bullet called a cop killer'.
Reuben remained adamant that he framed Diddy for the shooting decades ago, insisting he told the medical staff who operated on her immediately after the shooting. However, it suggests that Combs was able to bribe witnesses to the crime to drop incriminating evidence against him.
“I told literally everyone and I never changed what I said,” he added. “I watched him, I understood [shot] in the face, I saw him fire the gun. I've been saying it all along. Even the surgeon who operated on me testified at the criminal trial that while I was being put down [anesthesia]. I screamed, “Puffy [shot] me in the face.”… Everyone knew he did it, but he paid the club jihadist and all these other people to hide the video. That's his MO.”
Reuben suggested that Diddy was able to pay everyone to help get him off the hook and even said that Diddy tried to intimidate her by flatting her car tires multiple times.
Whether or not Diddy lives up to her claims remains to be seen, but given everything he's got coming his way these days, we wouldn't be surprised if he keeps his lips sealed. Nothing good can come of him talking about any of these claims.
