Speaker 1: While a new lawsuit filed in Los Angeles is presenting
Speaker 1: more trouble for Ditty. Diddy is named in a suit
Speaker 1: filed by Grace ol mccarcay. She claims that Ditty's son,
Speaker 1: Christian Combs, sexually assaulted her back in twenty twenty two
Speaker 1: during a New Year's Eve party where she was hired
Speaker 1: to serve drinks on a boat that was chartered by Ditty.
Speaker 1: Grace was twenty five years old when the alleged sexual
Speaker 1: assault happened. She claimed that she saw partying and drug
Speaker 1: use between a constant rotation of suspected sex workers and celebrities.
Speaker 1: She has also provided audio clips as evidence that she
Speaker 1: repeatedly rejected Christian Comb's advances while he groped her all
Speaker 1: over her body. The lawsuit charges Christian with sexual assault,
Speaker 1: sexual harassment, and infliction of emotional distress. Grace's lawyer said
Speaker 1: quote like father, like son, it gives us no joy
Speaker 1: or pleasure in filing suit against Christian Colms, who who
Speaker 1: has clearly adopted his father's pattern and practice of depravity.
Speaker 1: The lawyer also represents Rodney lil Rod Jones, who filed
Speaker 1: a lawsuit against Diddy earlier this year. Wow, man, it yeah,
Speaker 1: keeps filing up, keeps charges.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just keeps spiraling, it does.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah yeah. Moving on to you guys remember Good Times?
Speaker 1: Of course we remember James, remember Florida, remember JJ, Thelma
Speaker 1: Michael and of course you two Wollona Uh from the
Speaker 1: seventies hit show Good Times. Well, Good Times is back,
Speaker 1: believe it or not. It's in an animated series on Netflix.
Speaker 1: It's a reboot of the classic sitcom. It features JB. Smooth,
Speaker 1: Jay Farrow, Ivette, Nicole Brown, and other great actors' voices.
Speaker 1: Good Times is being produced by the late Norman Lear,
Speaker 1: the producer of the original sitcom, along with Steph Curry
Speaker 1: and Seth McFarlane who does Family Guy and all that.
Speaker 1: But last month when the trailer for Good Times, when
Speaker 1: that was released, well, it received a lot of backlash
Speaker 1: for its stereotypical depiction of a black family in present
Speaker 1: day times. So here's the question, guys, what do you
Speaker 1: think do we need another show with negative stereotypes? Because
Speaker 1: that was what was going on in Good Times back
Speaker 1: in the seventies, But now, you know, in these days,
Speaker 1: I mean, if.
Speaker 3: You look at the current climate in which we all
Speaker 3: live in today. I can understand the complaint. Of course
Speaker 3: that's not what we need. But we got to stop
Speaker 3: helping to perpetuate these things ourselves. I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: we got to look at our music that we put out.
Speaker 3: We got to look at our content that we put out.
Speaker 3: You know, we got to look at you know, all
Speaker 3: of these platforms how we use ourselves in social media.
Speaker 2: Right, we are our own worst enemy in social media.
Speaker 3: We are destroying our own culture ourselves, and then we
Speaker 3: get mad when somebody else join in. I don't know
Speaker 3: how Norman lives producing anything from damn Grave, so, you know,
Speaker 3: but then we've got the name attached to it, like
Speaker 3: McFarlan Curry is attached to it. You know, if you're
Speaker 3: gonna put your name on it, then you gotta be
Speaker 3: willing to deal with it.
Speaker 2: Is it a cartoon? Is it for your.
Speaker 1: So?
Speaker 3: I mean what we're talking about here to saying the documentary,
Speaker 3: you know, it gotta be a tasteful way to do it.
Speaker 1: Though, Yeah, you would think you would think.
Speaker 2: You gotta be well, how how can that be?
Speaker 1: And they make movies about the seventies and all this
Speaker 1: stuff all the time.
Speaker 2: But this is an animated series on Netflix.
Speaker 3: How can it be hatefully done when you got this
Speaker 3: girl Sexy Read out here talking about my booty hole
Speaker 3: brown and I'm just trying to get it what we
Speaker 3: want now. At one point in time, we got to
Speaker 3: take responsibility for what's happening here.
Speaker 1: Now, Steve, you know what, It's funny you mentioned Sexy
Speaker 1: Red because there is a debate going on in social media.
Speaker 1: This was happening over the weekend. It's not the first
Speaker 1: time this has come up. Should schools invite celebrities, mainly
Speaker 1: like rapping hip hop artists into the school to speak
Speaker 1: to the student body. Sexy Read, known for her provocative lyrics,
Speaker 1: you just mentioned some of them, and her stage show,
Speaker 1: showed up to a Georgia school.
Speaker 2: It was a high school.
Speaker 1: She showed up there to speak to the student body,
Speaker 1: and the school's principal escorted her out because she smelled
Speaker 1: like marijuana. So what does Sexy Red do?
Speaker 2: Instead?
Speaker 1: She did a few songs in the school's parking lot
Speaker 1: from the sun roof of a car as student were
Speaker 1: leaving school. The video went viral and the parents were
Speaker 1: outraged in the comments because she was there. So her
Speaker 1: song Pound Town. You mentioned the lyrics from that song.
Speaker 1: We're all parents on the show. So what do you
Speaker 1: think about entertainers that the school?
Speaker 2: Huh would you say, Tommy, she's out of control for that?
Speaker 2: You didn't nine, They didn't put you out of school.
Speaker 2: Now you're in the parking lot.
Speaker 1: Because she smelled like marijuana.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who invited her in the first place? Yeah?
Speaker 3: If you know this woman's show, in this woman's music,
Speaker 3: what is she going to say to your children that's
Speaker 3: gonna be of any benefit to the edification and uplift
Speaker 3: of their life?
Speaker 2: What what could she say? So?
Speaker 3: See, you can be so enthralled with celebrityism or celebrity
Speaker 3: or whatever you want to call it. You can be
Speaker 3: so caught up in that that you think just having
Speaker 3: a celebrity is good. Well, you gotta look at what
Speaker 3: they're gonna say to the kids. What's the message that
Speaker 3: they're gonna send? And pound town is on anyway, Oh,
Speaker 3: sexy Red, whatever her name is, it is not the
Speaker 3: cause of the problem, right, It's not just this young
Speaker 3: lady here. So what school invited them? And yes, I
Speaker 3: think rappers can be very, very valuable in the use
Speaker 3: of getting messages out to young people. It just depends
Speaker 3: on what they want to say. Look, don't make the
Speaker 3: mistakes I made. You can't get a better person than
Speaker 3: somebody with some hands on advice.
Speaker 1: That's right, Steve all Right, coming up at twenty minutes
Speaker 1: after a woman won ninety thousand dollars on a scratch
Speaker 1: off and quit her job. We'll talk about that right
Speaker 1: after this. You're listening, Hardy Morning Show.
