The strange lawsuit that accused Diddy of causing 9/11
Some disturbing, genuinely horrific allegations have been made against Sean “Diddy” Combs, some of which he has been found guilty of. But one accusation against him, first reported in 2011, was outlandish, to put it lightly.
Diddy was facing an astonishing $1 trillion lawsuit on the basis of several allegations. One, he was accused of putting a woman and her child in hospital. Two, he was accused of stealing a poker chip that was worth, quote, “100 zillions of dollars.” But that wasn’t even the craziest allegation.
The third, and most serious, was that Diddy had been behind the 9/11 terror attacks.
The woman who filed the lawsuit, Valerie Joyce Wilson Turks, had sought a restraining order against Diddy, which was denied by a judge. But a hearing was set nonetheless.
According to reporting in 2011, Turks alleged that Diddy, his former partner Kim Porter, and Rodney King, a man known for being brutally beaten by LAPD officers in 1991, were the masterminds behind the collapse of Twin Towers.
“[Diddy] went through Kim Porter and Rodney King and knocked down the [World Trade Centre] and then they all came and knocked my children down,” Turks claimed, as stated in court papers. “Set me up to be on disability and disabled my baby. He put my baby in a wheelchair.”
Turks also said that she had once been in a relationship with Diddy, and that they had a son together. His name, apparently, was Cornelius Wilson, and he was 23 at the time that her allegations came to light.
Of the poker chip allegation, Turks said in the court papers that she “won a lot of money at the casino in Mississippi” and that Diddy “has my chip to my money.” He had apparently given it to someone else.
“I want my chip,” Turks is reported as saying, “please help me. It’s well worth over 100 zillions of dollars, and my hospital keys. They put me and my baby in the hospital and broke my [baby’s] two legs and sexual assaulted my children and crushed us.”
Turks requested $900 billion in child support, plus an additional $100 billion for “loss of income.” She wasn’t heard from much again, after this story died down.
