But I didn't get to know much about them except what I saw on screen."DiCaprio noted times have changed due to social media, but watching other actors slowly build a strong body of work influenced his own career decisions."I got to see them build a body of great work over time. I wasn't inundated with a massive explosion of too many films by them in one or two years," he continued.

"I think anytime would've been the right time, to be honest. Ever since I met Paul early on and I saw ' Boogie Nights ,' I've been an obsessive fan of his work, watched all his movies. His films ruminate in my mind, and they're conversation pieces with my friends. They last.

"Especially as an Enneagram 1 (a personality type characterized by a desire to be good), you're like, 'I never said that. I didn't mean that. Stop using my life as clickbait.' There's just so much that can feel so unfair, and it feels like trauma. What I've been trying to get to recently is, is there any mechanism to not imbibe those misperceptions?"Paltrow said she's currently working through it in therapy. GWYNETH PALTROW CONFESSES LA FIRES CAUSED HER TO DRINK 'EVERY NIGHT'  "My therapist talks about the evil shadow, which is the part of you where rage lives - the part of you that will burn the f---ing house down - and we do damage to ourselves by not embracing our shadows. When you close your eyes and get into evil shadow energy, there's a freedom there, and I'm trying to experiment with that, because when I go into evil shadow energy, I don't care what anyone's misperception is.""So, that's my internal work these days. If somebody says something terrible that you read in a rag or whatever, instead of being like, 'Hey, that's not true, that's not fair,' how about going into evil shadow energy and saying, 'I don't give a f---.'"The Academy Award-winning actress, who earned her breakthrough role in the 1998 classic, "Shakespeare In Love," said she believes the " cultural obsession " with her personal life began circa 2008. GWYNETH PALTROW EMBRACES TREND OF LIVING APART FROM SPOUSE AS EXPERTS WARN IT CAN MAKE OR BREAK A MARRIAGE  "I think it really was when I sent out my first Goop newsletter [in 2008] ... But this idea that I was challenging the way that people saw me or the box that I fit in and, remember, this is like pre- newsletters, pre-Instagram, pre-Substack, pre-, pre-, pre-. People were like, 'What the f--- is she doing? We don't like this. This is weird.' I challenged a very comfortable perception of who I was, and inherent in that was this idea that I want something else, which became, like, why does she want something more or something else?"According to the BBC , in author Amy Odell's "Gwyneth: The Biography," Paltrow is described as "one of the most resented celebrities in the world."Odell admitted that something that "fascinated" her is the Paltrow fans see on talk shows, is not the same "Gwyneth that a lot of" her sources saw. "She can be cold. She can be aloof. People compared her to Anna Wintour even, because she can be icy," Odell, who spoke with 220 sources, told Etalk ."She can be talking to somebody at a party or in the office and, if she doesn't like that person, as soon as they turn around, sort of make a barf face to whoever is in the room with her," Odell alleged. "But, she can also be incredibly charismatic when she has to have important meetings. Let's say, she's trying to raise money for Goop, and she's meeting with venture capitalists. She can remember things to say in those meetings and recite them perfectly like she's reciting lines from a script. So I thought it was really interesting how her acting experience and her experience, just like as a public figure, helped her a lot in her current role as the CEO of Goop." GWYNETH PALTROW DITCHES 'CAVEMAN DIET': WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE PALEO DIET  Odell also told the BBC that "it's impossible to understand someone, as a biographer, if you don't take the time to research where a subject came from, and how their parents impacted them.""I always make a big effort to interview people who knew a subject's parents, and was fortunate to gain great insight into Gwyneth through those interviews. Gwyneth is a fascinating mix of both of her parents - she has her mother's extraordinary acting talent and her dad's (polarizing) personality and excellent aesthetic taste." GWYNETH PALTROW SPILLS MEGHAN MARKLE 'FRIENDSHIP' DETAILS MONTHS AFTER SQUASHING RUMORED FEUD Paltrow - who shares daughter Apple, 21, and son Moses, 19, with her ex-husband, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, and two adult stepchildren with husband Brad Falchuk, said if there's anything she's learned throughout the years, is to ignore the noise.And she hopes her children will do the same. "I spent so many years in pleasing mode, and what that means is you're trying to bend yourself into some other idea of what somebody wants you to be.

Andrew demands new six-bedroom home with full staff after being forced out of Royal Lodge: experts Ex-Prince Andrew is said to be making outrageously bold demands for his new home despite being stripped of his royal titles. The former Duke of York and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, are currently moving out of their palatial Royal Lodge home. Andrew was forced to surrender his lease amid new uproar over the 65-year-old's ties to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein."Andrew is said to be at loggerheads with his brother, King Charles," British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard claimed to Fox News Digital. EX-PRINCE ANDREW 'VULNERABLE' TO CRIMINAL CHARGES AFTER LOSING ROYAL PROTECTION STATUS: EXPERTS "Andrew feels he has played ball, doing everything asked of him surrounding Royal Lodge. We hear he is reeling and wants to be treated fairly, especially as he is giving up the perfectly valid lease on his beloved Royal Lodge.""Andrew feels frustrated, having been pushed into downgrading his accommodation, and is allegedly now demanding a suitable six- or seven-bedroom house on the Sandringham estate," said Chard. "He feels he is entitled to all the staff he is accustomed to, including a cook, housekeeper, gardener, driver and police security.""He may now be viewed as a commoner, but he has never lived like one," Chard continued. "If left to his own devices, I imagine he wouldn't know how to look after himself. It's probably easier for King Charles to privately pay for his brother to be looked after at this point, monitoring his whereabouts and preventing Andrew from causing further possible havoc." WATCH: PRINCE ANDREW STRIPPED OF TITLES, EVICTED FROM ROYAL LODGE Chard's remarks came after The Mirror reported that Andrew is "negotiating hard" over his new home. The outlet said Andrew wants to ensure he has enough staff to "cater to his needs," including a cook, housekeeper, gardeners and a butler.Fox News Digital reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment. A spokesperson previously said they do not comment on Andrew as he's no longer a working royal."Remember, Andrew's titles were not pulled because he was found legally guilty of a crime, but because of the 'continued accusations' against him that 'distract from the work of His Majesty and the royal family,' as he wrote in a statement published by Buckingham Palace in early October," royal commentator Meredith Constant pointed out to Fox News Digital."He feels entitled because he was born entitled," Constant said. "Andrew sees himself as the victim. ... I've maintained from the beginning of Charles' reign that he and Prince William were not in lockstep, despite write-ups in the U.K. press. Andrew is one of the issues that father and son do not agree on. William is anxious to get this settled before his eventual reign. He sees how Andrew is casting a shadow over his father's reign, and he doesn't want that baggage when he is crowned.""They operate at different speeds, but in this situation, with someone like Andrew, letting it drag on like this leaves the institution looking positively ancient and cumbersome, not the agile monarchy that can modernize with the times," Constant added. British royals expert Hilary Fordwich claimed to Fox News Digital that Andrew, who was known as the late queen's favorite son, is "desperate" to take whatever he can get despite his ongoing downfall. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER "This is all about Andrew doing his utmost in a desperate attempt to salvage as much of his forever privilege as possible before he is ousted from Royal Lodge," said Fordwich. "He's fighting a losing battle to protect his dignity and his daughters' status as princesses. [But] his digging is rather embarrassing, achieving the opposite. It further demonstrates how entitled and tone-deaf he is towards public perception, damaging the monarchy overall. It's why Prince William is livid.""To leave, Andrew is making audacious demands, particularly given ubiquitous public anger about his conduct," Fordwich shared. "He wants a vast settlement estimated to be about £75 million ($99 million), a vast home in Sandringham of about six or seven bedrooms, completed with police protection, supported by extensive staff. King Charles is frustrated as he wants Andrew out of Royal Lodge to reduce the ghastly optics of such a disgraced brother still living the high life in one of the crown's finest homes." People magazine reported that Andrew and Sarah have been given a move-out date of Jan. 31. A source told the outlet that Sarah is searching for a new home nearby, which will keep the 66-year-old close to her daughters in London, about a 45-minute drive away."She is looking for a place in Windsor," the insider claimed.

The insider denied reports that Sarah would be moving into a converted barn on Beatrice's property or joining Eugenie in Portugal.According to multiple reports, Andrew and Sarah have lived together for more than a decade despite divorcing in 1996 . Meanwhile, Andrew, 65, is relocating to a property on the king's Sandringham estate in Norfolk that's just under a three-hour drive from Windsor.Fox News Digital reached out to a representative for Sarah Ferguson for comment.The Mirror pointed out that Andrew's lease on Royal Lodge was for 75 years. Since the king couldn't force his brother out, the disgraced royal had to agree to leave on his own accord."Despite his fall from grace over the years, Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein and has not been charged with alleged offenses," said Chard. "I believe his thinking is, his royal titles have been stripped from him, he has lost everything, and may as well go for it, as he has nothing to lose. ... Andrew still maintains a warped level of status, and let's not forget, he is still in the line of succession."Constant warned that Andrew isn't fading quietly into the background, insisting this won't be the last the public hears of his ongoing battle for relevance."Whether it was his time as U.K. trade envoy or a working royal, Andrew's primary concern is his bottom line," said Constant. "What's in it for Andrew? Royal Lodge is Andrew's last chip. The palace was careful to say from the start that a formal request was sent to Andrew to relinquish his 75-year lease. They also never provided a timeline. I'd heard from the beginning that this was going to stretch into the new year. Andrew is going to want what, in his mind, is proper compensation - whether that's more money or housekeepers."

Halle Berry stuns crowd by criticizing Gavin Newsom, says he 'probably should not be our next president' Halle Berry called out California Gov. Gavin Newsom while delivering a speech about how women are viewed in Hollywood and across America.Berry took the stage at the Dealbook Summit Wednesday and spoke about how women are "devalued," particularly after they reach a certain age. The "Catwoman" star drew gasps from the audience while making her pointed comments and referencing Newsom, according to The Hollywood Reporter ."At this stage in my life, I have zero f---- left to give," Berry told the crowd."Back in my great state of California, my very own governor, Gavin Newsom , has vetoed our menopause bill, not one, but two years in a row," she added. "But that's OK, because he's not going to be governor forever, and the way he has overlooked women, half the population, by devaluing us, he probably should not be our next president either. Just saying." EX-BOND GIRL HALLE BERRY DOESN'T THINK MAKING 007 A WOMAN IS 'THE RIGHT THING TO DO' The bill, AB 432, introduced by Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, had a goal of improving and expanding menopause care, mandating that a healthcare service plan or health insurer provide recommendations for menopause-related treatments.

"Our culture thinks that, at 59 years old, I am past my prime, and that women my age start to become invisible in Hollywood, in the workplace, on social media."Women are pressured to stay forever 35," Berry continued.

Matthew Perry's family slams 'greedy jackals' who exploited actor, beg judge to impose maximum sentence Keith Morrison pleaded for Matthew Perry's death to not be in vain ahead of the first sentencing for one of five people charged and convicted in connection to the death of the late "Friends" star.Dr. Salvador Plasencia was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison Wednesday by United States District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett. Perry's stepfather , along with his mother, Suzanne Perry, pondered over the difficulties of a "life so entwined with ours and held aloft sometimes with duct tape and bailing wire" due to Perry's lifelong battle with addiction."And then those greedy jackals come out of the dark, and all the effort is for naught; it all crashes down," Morrison wrote in an emotional victim impact statement obtained by Fox News Digital ahead of Plasencia's sentencing. MATTHEW PERRY KETAMINE DOCTOR PLEADS GUILTY TO DISTRIBUTION "Many people, mothers mostly, have told me over the years how a thing like that breaks you, makes you feel broken. And I didn't quite get what that meant until I watched what this thing did to Matthew's mother. Still does, two years on. It's a deep well, can't see the bottom yet."Morrison admitted there was a "confusion of emotions" surrounding the death of his stepson. The "Friends" star died on Oct. 28, 2023, after an apparent drowning in the hot tub at his Pacific Palisades home, authorities confirmed to Fox News Digital at the time. He was 54. MATTHEW PERRY DOCTOR AGREES TO PLEAD GUILTY ON FOUR COUNTS IN CONNECTION TO STAR'S DEATH "Anger seethes away down deep, whether you want it to or not. And there's the playing out of unalterable events, over and over and over," Morrison wrote. "As if it could make any difference now. And the dull ache goes on and on."He added, "Memories are like little knives.""She - Suzanne - warned me, when we got serious about each other, that no man could ever come between her and that boy," Morrison continued. "She certainly didn't expect that addiction would do that very thing, or that he'd be hastened to an early death by the very people he trusted."Morrison wrote that Plasencia is the "most culpable" of the five charged in Perry's death, as the former doctor broke "the most important and sacred promise he ever made," the Hippocratic oath to do no harm.He continued, "No one alive and in touch with the world at all could have been unaware of Matthew's struggles. But this doctor conspired to break his most important vows, repeatedly, sneaked through the night to meet his victim in secret. For what, a few thousand dollars? So he could feed on the vulnerability of our son." Plasencia agreed to plead guilty in June to four counts of distribution of ketamine. The plea carried a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison.  LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS "Mr. Plasencia accepts the Court's sentence today with humility and deep remorse," his representatives said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. "He was a compassionate, caring, and conscientious doctor whose clinic filled a void in a community that needed him.""He was a good doctor loved by those he treated. He is not a villain.  He is someone who made serious mistakes in his treatment decisions involving the off-label use of ketamine - a drug commonly used for depression that does not have uniform standards," the statement continued."The mistakes he made over the 13 days during which he treated Mr. Perry will stay with him forever." They added, "Mr. Plasencia voluntarily gave up his medical license. He will now continue to serve his community in other meaningful ways.  He hopes that this painful experience will help other doctors avoid similar mistakes and prevent other families from enduring a tragedy like this one."Nearly nine months after Perry's passing, authorities announced that five people were arrested and charged with multiple counts in connection to his death.U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California Martin Estrada said at one point that the defendants distributed approximately "20 vials for approximately $50,000 in cash" to Perry for Kenneth (Kenny) Iwamasa, Perry's live-in assistant, to distribute to the actor. During another sale, the dealers "took advantage of Mr. Perry" by selling approximately "50 vials of ketamine for approximately $11,000 in cash." Plasencia, a ketamine source , was introduced to Perry by his assistant in September 2023. Plasencia, who obtained ketamine from Dr. Mark Chavez, allegedly taught the assistant how to inject Perry with the drug.  CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER The vials of ketamine allegedly cost Chavez approximately $12 each. At one point, Plasencia wrote to Chavez, "I wonder how much this moron will pay" and "Let's find out."Chavez agreed to plead guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine as part of his plea agreement. The San Diego-based doctor admitted to selling ketamine to Plasencia, including ketamine that he had diverted from his former ketamine clinic.Iwamasa pleaded guilty on Aug. 7 to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine causing death, and, per Estrada, has already filed a plea agreement.Additional drugs were allegedly secured through "The Ketamine Queen," aka Jasveen Sangha, and middleman Eric Fleming. Fleming pleaded guilty on Aug. 8 to one count of conspiracy to distribute ketamine and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death. Fleming admitted in court documents that he distributed the ketamine that killed Perry. He also agreed to a plea deal. Jodie Foster haunted by horrific dog tragedy, believes she gave up what she loved most for Hollywood success Jodie Foster revealed a horrific childhood memory that has haunted her throughout her life.During a recent interview with AARP magazine, the 63-year-old actress shared that the incident occurred in May 1976 on the night before the premiere of her movie "Taxi Driver" at the Festival de Cannes. Before Foster departed for France to attend the festivities, tragedy struck. "My puppy, he was a little guy," she recalled, "went careening down these very slick steps and hit a wall. His whole skull exploded into blood right in front of me."At the time, Foster was just 13 years old. She told AARP that the traumatic event and its aftermath had a lifelong impact on her. JODIE FOSTER RECALLS TERRIFYING MOMENT ON SET WHEN A LION 'SHOOK ME IN HIS MOUTH' Following the Cannes premiere of "Taxi Driver," critics heaped praise on her star-making performance in "Taxi Driver," which later earned Foster her first Oscar nomination. However, Foster said she locked herself in the bathroom, fearing she might have inadvertently entered a deal with the devil. Foster drew a comparison between her mindset then and that of the lead character in the 2001 French-language romantic comedy "Amélie," which starred Audrey Tautou. The official logline for the movie reads: "Despite being caught in her imaginative world, young waitress Amelie (Tautou) decides to help people find happiness. Her quest to spread joy leads her on a journey during which she finds true love.""I had a whole internal thing that I had to give up the thing I loved most to get [this success]," Foster said. "It was like 'Amélie,' total magical thinking about how powerful I was. What a sad, sad moment. I didn't talk to my mother about it, or anyone." JODIE FOSTER BEING CEMENTED IN HOLLYWOOD WON'T PERSUADE SONS TO WATCH HER FILMS: 'THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE' Foster recounted the newly resurfaced memory while discussing her new movie, the French psychological thriller "A Private Life (Vie privée)." "A Private Life," which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September, stars Foster as renowned psychoanalyst Lilian Steiner, who becomes deeply troubled by one of her patient's death, which was officially deemed a suicide. Convinced that her patient was actually murdered, Lilian launches her own investigation.Foster emphasized that more than a straightforward murder mystery, "A Private Life" explores how people suppress traumatic experiences that they refuse to face."Lilian thinks she's solving a mystery," the actress said. "But the truth is, the entire path she takes is about her turning around in a circle so that she can see sides of herself she was unwilling to see."While speaking with AARP, Foster, who launched her Hollywood career as a child model when she was 3, reflected on how she developed the ability to compartmentalize her feelings from a young age. Foster recalled how ahead of being cast as child prostitute Iris in "Taxi Driver," she was required to undergo a four-hour evaluation administered by a studio-appointed psychologist to ensure she was "sane enough" and would not be harmed by participating in the film.

"She taught me how to be careful with what I gave out. You give a lot as an actor. I gave my whole life. I mean, from the time I was 3 years old, I've given my entire life, everything that I had, I gave. If I wanted to survive, there were areas that people just weren't going to have."

I felt like I couldn't live up to my own potential - like I couldn't compete with my younger self."Foster explained that "everything changed" after she turned 60. "It was like a light bulb went off in my head," she recalled. "I was like, 'Yeah, I don't care. I'm no longer tortured by any of this.

He brings you through, and you're like, 'Yes, I did it.'"And sometimes you lose, sometimes you fail, but it's in those moments that I've realized, 'God, you were with me. You actually helped push me through, even if it ended up being a failure, even if I don't feel very courageous, and I feel like it just wasn't what I wanted it to be.

Diddy documentary: Top bombshells from Aubrey O'Day unsettling claims to unseen video before arrest As Sean "Diddy" Combs continues to serve his 50-month sentence after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution in July, his team is slamming Netflix's docuseries "Sean Combs: The Reckoning" as a "shameful hit piece" and a "personal breach of trust."The four-part series, produced by 50 Cent and Emmy Award-winning director Alexandria Stapleton, chronicles the music mogul's rise to fame and eventual downfall, featuring disturbing testimonies from former colleagues, friends and acquaintances who witnessed Combs' alleged damaging behavior over the decades.Diddy, 56, fired back against Netflix with a cease-and-desist letter sent to the streamer Monday and obtained by Fox News Digital.From accusations of sexual assault to haunting details surrounding Diddy's alleged freak-offs, here are the five major bombshells from the Netflix series.  DIDDY TRIAL VERDICT: ROSIE O'DONNELL, 50 CENT AND MORE STARS REACT Aubrey O'Day - a former band member of the Diddy-founded group, Danity Kane - has been outspoken about her traumatizing experience working alongside the rapper and producer over the years.  "I just naturally flowed into the grooming," she said in the documentary, before reading alleged emails sent to her from Diddy in 2008. "I don't want to just f--- you, I want to turn you out. I can see you being with some motherf---er that you tell what to do. I make my woman what i tell her to do and she loves it. I just want and like to do things different. I'm-a finish watching this porn and finish masturbating. I'll think of you. If you change your mind and get ready to do what I say, hit me."  DIDDY TRANSFERRED TO FORT DIX, BEGINS SENTENCE FOR FEDERAL SEX CRIMES O'Day believes she was eventually kicked out of Danity Kane for not accepting his alleged sexual advances. In another clip, the singer said a lawyer contacted her in regard to an affidavit they had received from one of Diddy's alleged victims who had witnessed a disturbing event. "[This person] wanted me to be aware of something she had seen. I was told it was an assault," she said in the doc. "The affidavit says, 'On a very cold night at the end of 2005, I'm not sure of the exact date because it was over 20 years. I walked in on Sean Combs, Puff Daddy, P Diddy and another individual, a tall, heavy-set, light-skinned male -  I believe he may have been a bodyguard - sexually assaulting Aubrey O'Day.'"O'Day continued reading the affidavit, where the victim claimed she unknowingly opened a door to a room where she witnessed "Aubrey sprawled out on a leather couch, looking very inebriated."  CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER The singer noted that she "didn't drink like that at all," and still rarely pursues alcohol. O'Day paused for a moment to acknowledge she hadn't read the affidavit for herself, and only listened to someone reading the allegations out loud."I put this out of my memory," she said."Aubrey looked out of it and was just lying there," the affidavit said. "I am 100 percent certain the woman I saw was Aubrey O'Day."O'Day said that while she told the woman she didn't have recollection of this, she questioned if she could be making a mistake. "She was certain. She said, 'You can come public with this. I'm going to stand by you. I know what I saw.' Does this mean I was raped? Is that what this means? I don't even know if I was raped and I don't want to know.""I don't want to find out anymore that that woman has to say. If she made it up, I would be compelled to take her the f--- down, and you realize the burden that puts on my soul for the past year, which is, if I expose one person who's got a civil lawsuit, that gives Diddy and his legal team credit to take down everybody else as potential lawyers.""It goes right back on my shoulder just like that. The weight of that man and his bulls---. I will never get up from under it."The "All About the Benjamins" rapper was accused of coordinating and participating in freak off sessions with partners, sex workers, and family members, according to accuser Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones.  LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS As an up-and-coming producer, Lil Rod was excited about the opportunity to work with Diddy, who was so impressed with his mix of a Justin Bieber tune, that the rapper booked Jones to work on his "The Love Album: Off the Grid" in Miami. "I didn't realize it but he was definitely grooming. He promised me $250,000. He also promised me a house right next door," Lil Rod said. "We'd get into conversations about making me the producer of the year."Diddy then began feeling comfortable with Lil Rod, and allegedly started sharing sexual images and videos with the producer. At one point, Lil Rod was sent to a local strip club in Miami. "They put me on the recruiting sex workers," he said. "They gave me the Bad Boy hat and they'd tell me, 'Put the hat on and get some girls back to the house.' I was like, 'How do they know," and they were like, 'They know. Once you put the hat on, they know. This is like a routine.'"Lil Rod thought the situation was "weird" and far removed from their initial mission, which was to create music. "They would be doing these freak offs and it would be Puff and Justin in the room with multiple women, closed doors and lots of music and lots of drugs," he claimed.Former security guard Roger Bonds witnessed Diddy's relationship with his kids. "The sad part about it is you will never know if they agree or disagree with their father because they can't say it," Bonds admitted.On March 25, 2024, Combs' homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided in connection with a federal human trafficking investigation, officials confirmed to Fox News Digital at the time. During the search, authorities allegedly seized various freak off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.Freak offs were "elaborate produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded," according to the indictment ."This guy is a real professional at masking and lying and making himself look like the greatest of them all," Lil Rod said in the series.Questions arose throughout the trial surrounding potential problems with members of the jury. One juror was removed before testimony began in the trial, and another member was questioned for comments made outside of the courtroom.Still, after a seven-week trial and three days of deliberation, the jury reached a verdict that Diddy was found guilty on charges of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of the two more serious charges: racketeering and sex trafficking."When we were in the deliberation room, and we've come to an agreement, and we're only saying that he's guilty for these two counts, my words exactly were, 'oh s---,'" Juror 160 said in the series."I am of that generation who basically grew up listening to the music that he was involved in from Biggie to 112, I even liked Day 126. I wasn't a personal fan of his, but in general - the music."When asked if he believed justice was served, Juror 75 said, "100 percent.""We saw both sides of it and we came to our conclusions," the juror noted. "I'm not a rap ... music lover, or anything. So I had zero knowledge about him." DIDDY SENTENCED TO OVER 4 YEARS IN PRISON FOR FELONY CONVICTION Juror 75 also noted that testimony during the trial couldn't convince him of coercion. He said that Cassie and Diddy had a "very, very interesting relationship. That is two people in love, you know, they are like overly in love you cannot explain."He added, "She wanted to be with him, he took her for granted, he never thought that she would leave, so that's like both hands clapping together. You can't clap with one hand." Juror 160 was asked if she believed Diddy was a violent person, to which she responded, "Based on that Intercontinental video, he can be. Unforgivable, honestly. He can't beat that small girl like he did." She noted, however, that domestic violence wasn't one of the charges Diddy faced. The documentary kicked off with footage of Diddy captured from inside a swanky New York City hotel room on Sept. 11, 2024 (five days before his arrest), in which the producer is engaged in a heated phone call with his lawyer."We need to find someone who will work with us who has worked in the dirtiest of dirty businesses," Combs says in the footage. "We are losing."In a statement to Fox News Digital, a spokesperson for Diddy claims that Netflix "relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release.""As Netflix and CEO Ted Sarandos know, Mr. Combs has been amassing footage since he was 19 to tell his own story, in his own way. It is fundamentally unfair, and illegal, for Netflix to misappropriate that work," the statement read. "Netflix is plainly desperate to sensationalize every minute of Mr. Combs's life, without regard for truth, in order to capitalize on a never-ending media frenzy. If Netflix cared about truth or about Mr. Combs's legal rights, it would not be ripping private footage out of context - including conversations with his lawyers that were never intended for public viewing. No rights in that material were ever transferred to Netflix or any third party."Beyond the legal issues, the spokesperson said, the docuseries is a "personal break of trust.""It is equally staggering that Netflix handed creative control to Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson - a longtime adversary with a personal vendetta who has spent too much time slandering Mr. Combs," the statement read. "Beyond the legal issues, this is a personal breach of trust. Mr. Combs has long respected Ted Sarandos and admired the legacy of Clarence Avant. For Netflix to give his life story to someone who has publicly attacked him for decades feels like an unnecessary and deeply personal affront. At minimum, he expected fairness from people he respected."However, according to Stapleton, the footage of Diddy was obtained "legally.""It came to us, we obtained the footage legally and have the necessary rights," Stapleton said in a statement . "We moved heaven and earth to keep the filmmaker's identity confidential. One thing about Sean Combs is that he's always filming himself, and it's been an obsession throughout the decades. We also reached out to Sean Combs' legal team for an interview and comment multiple times, but did not hear back."

"The royal family won't comment - they'll simply ignore it. But this commercialization will likely further irritate Prince William [heir to the throne].""It comes across much more like an ad than the duty-focused royal message found in Princess Catherine's faith-based carol service or the king's holiday address," Fordwich said. "Those events focus on national unity and public service."The premiere of Meghan's holiday special comes just days before Kate Middleton hosts her fifth annual "Together at Christmas" carol service on Dec. 5 at Westminster Abbey in London.The Princess of Wales launched the "Together at Christmas" carol service in 2021 to honor those who went "above and beyond for others" during the coronavirus pandemic .The event has since focused on individuals serving their communities across the U.K. This year, the princess aims to thank those "acting with love in their communities and contributing to a more cohesive, connected society." The theme for this year's event is "love in all its forms."Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet will attend as an ambassador for The King's Foundation, one of King Charles' personal charities . Chard insists that Meghan's messaging stands in stark contrast to what senior royals like the Princess of Wales aim to share across the pond."Meghan does not live a life of service," Chard said. "Her holiday show can't be compared to the British royal family's work . Princess Catherine's concert brings together 1,600 guests who have shown love and kindness within their communities. King Charles' heartfelt Christmas broadcasts are messages of service and hope - very different from Meghan's holiday show.""If Meghan creates public change ... we would root for Meghan," Chard said. "But Meghan's holiday show will not be on the British royal family's radar."Despite their royal exit, Harry and Meghan still hold their titles as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as noted on the royal family's website . They agreed not to use their "His/Her Royal Highness" styling for any public or commercial ventures.These days, Meghan seems to be focused on building her personal brand rather than returning to royal duties.The Sun recently reported that Meghan was spotted on the set of the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios film "Close Personal Friends," in which she's expected to play herself. The movie stars Brie Larson , Lily Collins and Jack Quaid.Fox News Digital reached out to Archewell for comment at the time of the announcement. An insider told People magazine , "She has a small part."Meghan launched her lifestyle brand, As Ever, in February, followed by the series in March. The holiday special marks the latest project since the couple extended their Netflix partnership through Archewell Productions.During a Fortune panel earlier this year, Meghan was asked whether there would be a third season of her show, People magazine reported. The "Suits" alum replied, "Well, the holiday special is coming out in November. It's a really good one.""So I think looking at that format - again, it's a year of learns - we're able to say, 'Eight episodes for two seasons - it's a lot of work,'" she said."And having done 'Suits' for seven years, I remember what goes into a production. I also recognize how much people want content in different sizes. Part of what we're testing out now is, it's amazing to sit and watch a show for 30 minutes, but how can I give you a recipe in two minutes? And where can I share that with you? And how that continues to grow As Ever."People magazine reported that n's lifestyle brand has also launched a holiday collection, with several products featured in the special's trailer."This December, join Meghan in Montecito for a magical holiday celebration," read a statement from Archewell to the outlet. "Together, friends and family deck the halls, create holiday feasts, craft heartfelt gifts, and share lots of laughs - with simple how-tos to follow at home. It's a holiday wonder with warmth, tradition, and a generous dose of joy."Kinsey Schofield, host of YouTube's "Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered," previously told Fox News Digital that the royals had no plans to stream Season 2 of "With Love, Meghan," which premiered Aug. 26."... It poses no impact on the core four: King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales," Schofield said."... When it comes to something as trivial as Meghan Markle making bath salts, the royals have far bigger priorities. ... They won't lose any sleep over the prospect of 'With Love, Meghan.' It won't be on their calendars, and they certainly won't be making her pasta or bath salts."
