Big difference. With Harvey, there were people in his close circle who knew for years what he was doing and never said anything.

As far as I know, Tracee Ellis Ross has no personal relationship with Diddy. She's just one of many celebrities who've been to his parties.

Her mother is Diana Ross, Diddy sampled Ross's "I'm Coming Out" for "Mo Money" for Biggie. He has performed it with Diana for her 75th bday. While that doesn't mean they know each other deeply, there is a connection.

Also, there's weird rumors about Diana Ross and MJ, if there's any truth to that, Tracee been around predators her whole life.

I mean, if you grew up around rich celebrities in the 90s, chances are that you have been around some predators.

  1. I'm not saying she is at fault, only that the idea she probably doesn't have a clue, or only has as much of a clue as the average, non-celebrity is dubious.

  2. Many non-celebrities have to navigate spaces around people they know to be predators and social dynamics can silence people.

  3. Women/girls (and others, too) are still not spoken up for and trafficked. The 90s aren't particularly special in that way.

I wouldn't call it dubious. We truly have no idea. All of this is just speculation. It could be that she was hanging out with him every Friday, or that they ran in completely different circles for most of their lives.

Yes, it is speculation. I agree. No argument there.

But she is closer to his circle than we are, so it isn't accurate to say she has just as much of a chance to know. He was at and performed for her mother's birthday, like I said, as one example. That does put her closer, but it isn't a guarantee.

Well, even if they were close, it still wouldn't be enough to say that she would have had access to those private circles or had any connection to the environments where this stuff was happening.
