00:03everybody gets a little bit more comfortable and loose.

00:07That just sounds disgusting. What are you doing?
00:09Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks
00:13for the gossip surrounding public figures that was proven correct.
00:17You know, you tell yourself that you didn't know for sure,
00:20and you never really saw anything, but that's just all rationalization.
00:26Number 30. Katy Perry Collected Celebrity Hair
00:31Alright, this one is straight-up unusual.
00:34Katy Perry was always rumored to do odd things, but this is strange even for her.
00:38The word on the street was that Katy collected hair from her fellow celebrity BFFs.
00:43Well, as weird as this seemed to be, the rumor turned out to actually be true,
00:47and it was confirmed by Katy herself.
00:50She said that she got to share a dressing room with Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift one day,
00:54and just casually asked each of them for a lock of their hair.
00:58You did this to me.
01:01You cut my hair.
01:03They agreed, and then, according to Katy,
01:05she even put little bows on the locks and put them in her purse.
01:09Number 29. Anthony Ramos and Jasmine Cephas Jones Split
01:14On November 29th, 2021, rumors of Anthony Ramos stepping out on his fiancé started to spread.
01:21Why? Because of a TikTok video that claimed he was spotted at a club with another woman.
01:26Tell me how this ain't our relationship.
01:30To top it off, the video included proof of the pair,
01:33although it seemed unclear whether it was actually them.
01:37No one was sure whether these were just TikTok rumors or rooted in truth.
01:41Regardless, soon afterwards, a source claimed to US Weekly that Anthony Ramos and Jasmine Cephas Jones
01:48called it quits way before Anthony was spotted,
01:51and confirmed that the split rumors were indeed correct.
01:55Number 28. Arnold Schwarzenegger's illegitimate child with his maid.
02:00People are concerned that this state is going to go off the cliff.
02:05Around the time Schwarzenegger left office as governor of California in 2011,
02:10there were reports that he had an affair with his longtime housekeeper,
02:13Mildred Patricia Baiana, and even fathered a son, Joseph,
02:17who bore a striking resemblance to the action star.
02:20She was reportedly pregnant about 13 or 14 years ago.
02:24That's according to the New York Times.
02:25And that's the same time that Maria Shriver was pregnant with the couple's youngest child.
02:29These rumors were later confirmed by Schwarzenegger himself,
02:33and it was also discovered that he secretly gave money to his maid to support his son.
02:38Disaster situation that I've created, and it's the worst thing that I've ever done.
02:42Prior to these revelations coming out in May 2011,
02:46Schwarzenegger separated from his wife Maria Shriver,
02:49and Shriver later filed for divorce in July.
02:52I really feel like I'm too plain for it.
02:55It was me that screwed up.
02:58Number 27. Little Mix Breakup.
03:01This is a shout-out to our fave girl band, Ever.
03:04Shout out to my ex! You're really quite the man!
03:07Little Mix Breakup rumors were alive and well long before 2021.
03:11But then, Jesse Nelson decided to split from the group,
03:15and Leigh-Anne and Perry announced their pregnancies.
03:18And everyone started to get anxious.
03:20The girls ended up addressing their fans,
03:22saying they would still be going until at least 2031.
03:26However, just not long after, they announced that they were taking a hiatus.
03:31And in true girl and boy band fashion,
03:33we all know that this means they've pretty much parted ways.
03:36Fans were absolutely devastated,
03:39but many believe, or hope, that the girls will eventually reunite.
03:49Number 26. Ben Affleck and His Nanny.
03:53Ben Affleck married Jennifer Garner,
03:55but you married a bartender with a kid.
03:58These are facts.
03:59Just a month after splitting from Jennifer Garner,
04:02Ben Affleck was rumored to be in a relationship with his children's nanny.
04:05Of course, this sparked further rumors of cheating
04:08after the nanny was fired from her job.
04:11The tabloids referred to it as nanny-gate.
04:13No one was able to confirm whether those rumors were true or not,
04:17until Jennifer herself revealed that Ben did actually date his nanny.
04:21However, she clarified that she and Affleck were separated
04:24before she heard about the two dating.
04:26And Ben's relationship with the nanny had nothing to do with the divorce.
04:30Jen did, however, say it was bad judgment on Ben's part.
04:34Agreed.
04:34Number 25. Lorde had a secret Onion Rings review Insta.
04:39In 2017, the internet was full of rumors about a certain Instagram account called Onion Rings Worldwide.
04:46Many suspected that it belonged to Lorde, but no one was able to confirm for sure.
04:51After all, how random and awesome would it be
04:54if a celebrity had a secret account that reviews deep-fried food?
04:58Did you order Onion Rings?
05:00Oh, God.
05:02But when Lorde stopped by The Tonight Show, she finally confessed she loves Onion Rings,
05:08and that's when Jimmy Fallon asked the question.
05:10She finally admitted that she was the one behind the secret account.
05:13That I was going to different places and trying the Onion Rings at each of those places.
05:19I just like...
05:20It is you?
05:20Ah, God, it's me!
05:22It's me!
05:22Unfortunately, she seemed to have stopped posting after she was outed,
05:26but we certainly hope this didn't stop her love for Onion Rings.
05:29People are going to be throwing Onion Rings at me on tour,
05:31and I'm just going to turn into a whole thing.
05:33No, I know what you mean.
05:34Yeah, don't do that.
05:35No, absolutely.
05:35It was fun for like five seconds, but I'm still going to keep eating Onion Rings.
05:40Number 24.
05:41Cass Elliott and Keith Moon died in the same apartment.
05:45While their paths may never have crossed,
05:48Cass Elliott and Keith Moon shared more similarities than they could imagine.
05:52Not only were they members of music groups,
05:55but they both met their untimely demise at age 32.
05:58My friend called me to say that Cass Elliott passed away in her sleep.
06:04I was stunned.
06:07Even weirder, this reportedly happened in the same apartment, only four years apart.
06:12They announced the death of Keith Moon, who died from a drug overdose.
06:17The Mayfair London flat belonged to Harry Nielsen,
06:20a singer-songwriter mutual friend of theirs who was mostly on the road
06:23and rented it out to his musician pals.
06:26Elliott died there on July 29th, 1974, while in London for a concert.
06:32Four years later, Moon moved into the apartment,
06:34where he also passed away from a substance overdose.
06:38Unsurprisingly, Nielsen moved out of the flat and sold it off.
06:42Of course it's sad, you know, when somebody that huge, that bombastic,
06:48that alive is no longer on the planet.
06:51Number 23. Tiger Woods' Infidelity
06:54Tiger Woods' cheating scandal became international news in 2009.
06:59But before then, these were nothing but rumors,
07:02as both Tiger and his wife, Elin Nordegren, refused to speak about the issue.
07:07Elin allegedly chased him out of the house with a golf club
07:10after she found out about the affair on Thanksgiving night after snooping through his phone.
07:14His car first hit a fire hydrant, then a tree.
07:19A few weeks later, Tiger confessed.
07:21I have let you down.
07:24I have let down my fans.
07:26Afterwards, many women came forward and claimed to have been involved with Woods
07:30while he was still married to Elin.
07:32Tiger confessed to serial infidelity,
07:34and the scandal took a huge toll on his public reputation.
07:38I owe a lot of people an apology.
07:40I hurt a lot of people, not just my wife, my friends, my colleagues, the public.
07:47Number 22.
07:48The Brangelina Affair Broke Up Jennifer Aniston's Marriage to Brad Pitt
07:52So that's settled then, yeah?
07:55Okay.
07:56Shortly after the filming of Mr. and Mrs. Smith,
07:58Jennifer Aniston separated from Brad Pitt in January 2005
08:02and filed for divorce in March.
08:05One month later, the media reported Pitt was dating Mr. and Mrs. Smith co-star Angelina Jolie,
08:11leading the public to believe an affair between the two actors broke up Aniston's marriage.
08:15Chance to poke around the engine?
08:18For years, Brad denied having an affair with Angelina during production,
08:22though Pitt admitted in a 2008 interview that he fell in love with her while they were making the film.
08:27However, one of their bodyguards told Us Weekly in 2016
08:30that the two of them fooled around while on set.
08:35Number 21.
08:38Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes' Relationship
08:41We now know Jamie Foxx and Katie Holmes had a super-secret romance that dated back to 2013.
08:47However, it was originally all hearsay,
08:49as no one could really confirm whether the two were actually together or not.
08:54This is the photo which reignited those rumors.
08:56Taken right here in the studio, Jamie and Katie appear to hold hands.
09:00They denied that they were dating for years while rumors ran rampant.
09:04They were spotted several times, but mostly kept their relationship private.
09:08In fact, they were secretive right until they announced their breakup in 2019.
09:12Some knucklehead who was here with the fam cam, you know what I'm saying?
09:17And I guess they tried to get money from it or whatever.
09:19I said, but you know, I mean, like I said, it's amazing what people will do to sell you out.
09:24Since then, Katie has been spotted moving on while Jamie's love life remains a question mark,
09:30though it appears he's keen on staying a bachelor.
09:33Number 20.
09:34The feud between Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall was real.
09:39It's heartbreaking when you hear reports that the cast of your favorite show
09:42actually didn't get along on set.
09:44You never really got on.
09:45We've never been friends.
09:47We've been colleagues.
09:49Rumors of the feud between Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall were running rampant for years.
09:54However, they were finally confirmed in 2018
09:57when Kim addressed Sarah publicly after Parker reached out when Cattrall's brother passed away.
10:02Kim posted on Instagram,
10:04saying she doesn't need Sarah's love and support.
10:07She warned Sarah to stop exploiting the tragedy
10:10and claimed she was only doing so in order to restore her nice girl persona.
10:15Am I right?
10:16Not getting involved.
10:17I'm with her.
10:19You know what?
10:20I don't need this.
10:21It was pretty clear that the behind the scenes of Sex and the City were full of drama.
10:26I don't know.
10:27I found it very upsetting because that's,
10:28you know, that's not the way I recall our experience.
10:33Number 19.
10:35Drew Barrymore's Wild Childhood
10:37Who doesn't love Drew Barrymore?
10:39She's had a decades-long career in Hollywood since her first film, E.T., at age seven.
10:44But in the 80s and 90s, rumors swirled about her being the ultimate wild child.
10:55Drew published her memoir, Wildflower, in 2016, confirming many of the rumors.
11:00These included attending Hollywood parties with people triple her age,
11:05going to Studio 54 when she was only nine, and being addicted to substances by 12.
11:10Not very normal to see a nine-year-old at a big Hollywood party drinking.
11:14She even did a few stints in rehab as a teenager.
11:18Thankfully, Drew has cleaned up her act and her image over the years.
11:21She's now sober, hosts a daytime talk show, and recently launched her own magazine.
11:26When I finally let go of that, it made me realize that I was capable
11:30of great change that I totally rebelled about.
11:34I was like, I will master this toxic behavior of mine.
11:38We're rooting for you, Drew.
11:40Number 18.
11:41Ozzy Osbourne and the Ants.
11:43Heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne has admittedly done a lot of outrageous things
11:48throughout his long-storied career.
11:50But this one takes things to a new level of extreme.
11:53While on his Bark at the Moon tour in 1984,
12:01Osbourne stopped over at a Florida hotel alongside opening act Motley Crue.
12:06The story goes that on one particular afternoon,
12:09the former Black Sabbath frontman took a straw and snorted a line of ants with it.
12:14While this may horrify the average person,
12:16it probably won't be much of a surprise to anyone familiar with Osbourne's antics.
12:21The rumor was confirmed in the band's autobiography, The Dirt,
12:25and depicted in the same titled Netflix film.
12:28You think you're ready for that, man?
12:30Do you?
12:32Huh?
12:33You think you're ready for that?
12:35Number 17.
12:36Charles Manson wrote a song for the Beach Boys.
12:39Before he founded and led the infamous Manson family cult,
12:43Charles Manson was a struggling musician hoping for his big break.
12:46Manson went to Los Angeles for no purpose other than to become a rock and roll star.
12:53After leaving prison in the late 1960s,
12:56Manson made the acquaintance of the Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson,
12:59who hoped to sign him to a recording contract.
13:02Although that never came to fruition,
13:04Manson actually wrote a song titled Cease to Exist for the Band.
13:08The lyrics were eventually reworked and released in 1968 as Never Learn Not to Love.
13:14And now I know I never would have thought to love you.
13:19This served as the B-side to their moderately successful single,
13:22Bluebirds Over the Mountain.
13:24The initial idea may have been Charles's,
13:27but he had given it to Dennis and been compensated for it.
13:32And the Beach Boys were taking it and embellishing it as they do and making it their own.
13:39In the end, Manson received no writing credit for the song.
13:43And a little over two years later,
13:45he was convicted of the Tate and LaBianca murders.
13:49Number 16.
13:50Kiss inject their blood into comic books.
13:53In the 1970s, New York band Kiss took rock music by storm.
13:57The original four-man lineup was known for their signature white and black makeup
14:01and comic book-style costumes.
14:04Tonight, I wanna give it all to you.
14:09In 1977, at the height of their popularity,
14:13the group teamed up with Marvel's Stan Lee to create a series of Kiss comic books.
14:17Seemingly as a marketing ploy,
14:19each member of the band was reported to have drawn a bit of their blood,
14:23which was then mixed in with the printing ink for the comics.
14:26Turns out this was in fact true,
14:28as confirmed by Kiss founding member Paul Stanley and Lee himself.
14:33I said, you guys are out of your mind.
14:35He said, no, no, it's great.
14:36It'll get a lot of publicity.
14:38If that's not the most shock rock-esque thing to ever happen in the comic book universe,
14:42we don't know what is.
14:44Get enough!
14:46No, I can't get enough!
14:50Number 15.
14:51Charlie Sheen solicited sex workers.
14:54You know there are a lot of rumors.
14:55Sure.
14:55Out there right now, and you would like to address them head on, so I'll give it to you.
15:00Believe it or not, there was a time when Charlie Sheen wasn't known for overindulging himself with
15:05sex and drugs. But when Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss was investigated by the feds on charges of
15:11tax evasion and money laundering, she was thought to have had a black book full of clients
15:16whom she'd provided with sex workers, including Charlie Sheen.
15:20In and around this perplexing and difficult time, I dazedly chose or hired the companionship
15:26of unsavory and insipid types.
15:28At first, Sheen had denied it, but then his name was found on checks made out to Fleiss.
15:33And with a cell phone, took an image of your antiretroviral medication.
15:39That's correct, yeah.
15:40And then threatened to sell that image to the tabloids.
15:43Yes.
15:43Sheen was later called on to testify at Fleiss' trial, where he admitted to spending $50,000
15:49over a two-year period.
15:51You kept bringing these unsavory types...
15:54Which is my part.
15:54...to your house.
15:55Which is my part, absolutely, yeah.
15:56And why? Why would you make the same mistake over and over again?
15:58Because I was so depressed by the condition that I was in.
16:01Number 14.
16:03Ellen DeGeneres is gay.
16:05I think I've realized that I am...
16:09I can't even say the word.
16:10For the fourth season of her successful 90s sitcom, Ellen, Ellen DeGeneres had something
16:15special planned.
16:17During a special two-part episode called The Puppy Episode, Ellen's character was going
16:21to come out as a lesbian.
16:23Why can't I just say the truth?
16:25I mean, be who I am.
16:26I'm 35 years old.
16:27I'm so afraid to tell people.
16:29I mean, I just...
16:31Susan, I'm gay.
16:33Leading up to the episode, the media began to ask questions as to whether Ellen herself
16:38was gay.
16:39Did you expect it to turn into all of this?
16:43No, no.
16:44I mean, I knew that it would be big, but I had no idea that it would be this big.
16:49At first, Ellen played it coy when pressed on the subject, but a couple of weeks before
16:53The Puppy Episode aired in April 1997, Ellen gave a definitive answer when she told Time
16:59Magazine that, yep, she was gay.
17:01It was more important for me to live my life honestly and to be proud of who I am than my
17:07fame.
17:08And ironically, as soon as I was honest, I became more famous.
17:12Number 13.
17:13Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal's Entanglement
17:16Okay, Swifties, this one's for you.
17:19Before Taylor released the 10-minute version of her popular song, All Too Well, Swift fans
17:24had their own theories about who this song was about.
17:27While Taylor and Jake were in a relationship, neither of them spoke publicly about their
17:38dating life or their breakup.
17:40Well, that is until the 10-minute version was released, and Swifties got to hear exactly
17:45what happened in their short-lived romance.
17:47You just treated me differently.
17:49What do you mean I treated you differently?
17:51You didn't even look at me once!
17:53And it's safe to say that we all had a collective breakdown when the I'll get older, but your
17:58lovers stay my age line came on.
18:01A true heartbreak masterpiece.
18:03And I was never good at selling jokes, but the punchline goes, I'll get older, but your
18:12lovers stay my age.
18:14Number 12.
18:16Beyonce and Jay-Z's Drama
18:18The night Solange attacked Jay-Z in an elevator became the talk of every tabloid that existed
18:24in 2014.
18:25Reports emerged that the fight was about Jay-Z, Rachel Roy, and their questionable relationship.
18:31The rumors didn't stop there, and continued when Beyonce and Jay-Z went on tour together.
18:37However, everything was just one big question mark that later got publicly and artistically
18:42resolved.
18:42When Beyonce released her hit album, Lemonade.
18:52She essentially confirmed that their marriage had been on the rocks when Jay-Z cheated on
18:56her with Becky with the good hair.
18:58He only want me when I'm not there.
19:01He better call Becky with the good hair.
19:05Jay-Z also later fessed up in the media and in his music.
19:09I have a beautiful wife who was understanding and knew that I'm not the worst of what I've
19:15done.
19:16Number 11.
19:17Liberace's Sexuality
19:18We're living in such a permissive world that I don't think anybody really much cares what
19:23anybody does behind closed doors.
19:25For many years, rumors circulated that legendary musician Liberace was gay.
19:30Liberace fought this rumor the best he could by being seen in public dating various women.
19:36In 1959, when the Daily Mirror ran an article that suggested he was gay, the singer sued the
19:42tabloid for libel and won 8,000 pounds.
19:45I think in the 50s, any publicity along those lines was very daring and it called for a defense.
19:59However, even after ex-lover Scott Thorson sued Liberace for palimony, he still refused to
20:05admit he was gay.
20:07I didn't get dressed like this to go unnoticed.
20:11Though Liberace never came out during his lifetime, celebrities who knew him, such as
20:16Betty White and Debbie Reynolds, later confirmed what people had long suspected.
20:20I can't believe Liberace was gay.
20:23And then women loved him.
20:25I didn't see that one coming.
20:26Number 10.
20:27Macaulay Culkin's Violent Parent
20:29If you were a movie fan in the 90s, you couldn't avoid seeing this child actor brightening
20:33a cinema screen.
20:34You're the only one acting up.
20:36Now get upstairs.
20:38With his iconic role as Kevin in Home Alone and his traumatizing funeral in My Girl, Macaulay
20:43Culkin became a household name before he was even a teenager.
20:46Unfortunately, this successful career came with a price.
20:50Rumors soon began circulating that Culkin's father was abusing his power and overworking
20:55his young son.
20:56In 2018, Culkin appeared on Marc Maron's WTF podcast and confirmed his dad's physical
21:03and mental abuse.
21:04I was able to actually, like, walk away from the business.
21:07I even wanted to take a break for a while.
21:09And eventually, like, I just was like, I'm done.
21:11I'm done, guys.
21:11Like, you know, I hope you all made your money because there's no more coming from me.
21:16Thankfully, he successfully sued to remove his parents' control of his trust fund.
21:20But he and his dad have been estranged ever since.
21:23Come on!
21:26Number 9.
21:34Lance Armstrong was doping.
21:36Lance Armstrong was once known as one of the most respected athletes in the world.
21:41However, many were suspicious of his dominating cycling victories.
21:44In 2002, the U.S. Postal Service pro-cycling team was questioned on whether any of the team
21:55used performance-enhancing substances.
21:58However, the case was closed for lack of evidence.
22:00Fast forward to 2009, when rumors of doping began to circulate once more, after Lance was
22:06accused by a former teammate.
22:08After a long investigation, Lance finally admitted he began doping when he was just 21.
22:13Did you ever blood dope or use blood transfusions to enhance your cycling performance?
22:19Yes.
22:20The U.S. anti-doping agency eventually called the whole affair, quote,
22:24the most sophisticated, professionalized, and successful doping program that sport has
22:29ever seen.
22:30In all seven of your Tour de France victories, did you ever take banned substances or blood
22:38dope?
22:38Yes.
22:39Number 8.
22:41Caitlyn Jenner's transition.
22:42In 2014, rumors started to circulate that the culturally prominent former athletic star
22:48was a transgender woman.
22:50Is that a bunch of malarkey?
22:51I just, it's silly.
22:52I mean, they've been saying that since the 70s.
22:55These rumors were dismissed by close family members, who assured the media it was all nonsense.
23:00But in April 2015, she came out as transgender through a highly publicized interview with Diane
23:06Sawyer.
23:06I can't do that any longer.
23:09So can I take my ponytail out?
23:10In the interview, Jenner told Sawyer about all of the struggles with gender identity she
23:15had to go through all of her life.
23:17After coming out, Jenner also changed her name to Caitlyn.
23:20Wake up in the morning, be yourself, get dressed, get ready to go out, and just be like a normal
23:30person.
23:30Number 7.
23:33Accusations Against Bill Cosby
23:35Given Bill Cosby's wholesome image from movies and TV shows, the accusations against him were
23:40a horrifying shock in every way.
23:43It all started to come to light in 2014, when stand-up comic Hannibal Buress brought up Bill
23:48Cosby's alleged past behavior during a show in Philadelphia.
23:52When this stand-up segment went viral, it became a story in the public conscience.
24:00Soon after, more and more women started coming forward with terrible claims about Cosby.
24:06I was 17.
24:07My agent introduced me to him to groom me, to mentor me, to get me ready for show business,
24:12and part of that was bringing me to New York City.
24:15He was convicted of aggravated indecent assault in 2013, but then the conviction was later
24:20vacated in 2021.
24:23I hope that we are creating a new platform for those people to say, I'm not alone and
24:30I don't need to be alone anymore.
24:32It wasn't my fault.
24:33Number 6.
24:34Prince Charles Cheated on Princess Diana
24:37Flash forward 20 years, he's back in Los Angeles, and they have a secret rendezvous
24:42at the Bel Air Hotel that no one knows about.
24:45In 1981, Prince Charles married Lady Diana when she was 20 years old, despite a 13-year
24:51age gap.
24:52Behind closed doors, it was widely believed that he wasn't in love with her, and it
24:56turned out later he did admit that he was never in love with her.
24:59On the outside, things looked pleasant, but secretly, Charles was having an affair with
25:03ex-girlfriend Camilla Parker Bowles.
25:05The alleged relationship was written about in the 1992 book, Diana, Her True Story, but in
25:111994, Charles admitted his misdeed in a documentary.
25:15Charles was actually forbidden to marry Camilla because she was Catholic, and many believe that
25:20Diana was forced upon him.
25:22The marriage was also rocked with another affair, this one between Princess Diana and Major James
25:27Hewitt.
25:28Another, written in March 1988, says,
25:31You have just left, and it all seems very empty here to me, and that includes one bottle of champagne, too.
25:37Unable to put their differences aside, the two divorced in 1996, and one year later,
25:42Diana tragically died in a car crash.
25:45Within the last few moments, the press association in Britain, citing unnamed British sources,
25:52has reported that Diana, Princess of Wales, has died.
25:55Number five, Aaliyah's teenage marriage.
25:58She's been dubbed the princess of R&B, but Aaliyah's influence hasn't stopped her from being
26:03followed by a rumor for over 25 years.
26:06I'll be waiting there when my tricks, my looks, my hat, just so I'm low-key.
26:12Did she really marry R. Kelly with forged documents when she was underage?
26:16What is the deal with you and R. Kelly?
26:18Are you all married or not?
26:19No, I'm not married.
26:21Robert's doing this thing, I'm doing my thing.
26:22He's a great producer, a great artist, who I do admire.
26:25Regrettably, the answer is yes.
26:27Aaliyah was 15 and Kelly was 27.
26:31The marriage was later annulled, and Aaliyah refused to talk about the relationship.
26:35Unfortunately, she was tragically killed in a plane crash without ever telling her side of the story.
26:41R. Kelly, on the other hand, is paying the price for his many misdeeds,
26:45serving 30 years for bribery, sex trafficking, and additional charges.
26:49Thankfully, we still have the legacy of Aaliyah's music, which continues to inspire artists to this day.
27:01Number four, Bill Clinton had relations with Monica Lewinsky.
27:05I want you to listen to me.
27:07I'm going to say this again.
27:08I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
27:13In January 1998, scandal broke when President Bill Clinton was accused of having an affair
27:19with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky from 1995 to 1997.
27:24I never told anybody to lie.
27:26Not a single time.
27:28Never.
27:29This information was brought to light after secret recordings of Lewinsky talking to a close friend
27:34slash co-worker about the two were given to special prosecutor Kenneth Starr.
27:38Well, that was a bit of a tricky day.
27:43At first, Clinton denied any such relationship, but after a tough summer of investigation, he eventually came clean.
27:50Indeed, I did have a relationship with Ms. Lewinsky that was not appropriate.
27:55In fact, it was wrong.
27:57In his attempt to cover up the matter, Clinton committed perjury,
28:00for which he was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives.
28:03I misled people, including even my wife.
28:09I deeply regret that.
28:12Number three, Jeffrey Epstein was a predator.
28:15He was known as this sort of Gatsby-like figure of mystery in New York.
28:21While he's now a household name, Jeffrey Epstein didn't make mainstream news until the mid-2000s.
28:28For a long time, Epstein was a nondescript owner of a brokerage firm.
28:32But around 2005, rumors started spreading that Epstein was a sexual predator.
28:37They began in March of that year, when a Florida woman accused Epstein of targeting her stepdaughter.
28:42This accusation drew the attention of the FBI, who discovered that Epstein was running an extensive sex ring.
28:48They were politicians.
28:50They were businessmen.
28:51They were powerful people.
28:54It made me think that if I had run and caused a ruckus, the police wouldn't have believed me.
28:59They wouldn't have done anything about it.
29:00However, Epstein only spent one year in custody after agreeing to a plea deal negotiated by the infamous Alan Dershowitz with state attorney Alexander Acosta.
29:11Epstein was famously arrested again in 2019, but died in prison before he could be convicted.
29:17Once again, he had, you know, managed to escape any kind of accountability.
29:24Number two, Diddy Parties.
29:26You need locks on the doors?
29:30This is sounding kind of dangerous now.
29:33It's a little kinky, but you know.
29:34Sean Diddy Combs rose to fame in the 1990s as a rapper and entrepreneur who played a hand in bringing some of the biggest hip-hop and R&B artists of the decade to mainstream audiences.
29:45Of course, allegedly beyond these important accolades were extremely dark practices that were alluded to in interviews by various celebrities who have met Diddy over the years.
29:56And then, you know, we have the top two floors of the hotel.
29:59Mm-hmm.
29:59And then it will carry on there?
30:01Yeah, yeah.
30:02Mm-hmm.
30:02Mm-hmm.
30:03No, I mean the after party.
30:05Mm-hmm.
30:05No, I know about them.
30:06In November 2023, an initial lawsuit filed by Cassie Ventura accusing Combs of sexual assault, trafficking, and physical abuse led way to countless other lawsuits from other alleged victims.
30:18In the wake of these allegations, many have gone on record about the now-infamous Diddy parties, which has thrown suspicion and concern at many of the celebrities who have attended these events.
30:30I got on a plane at 5.30 a.m.
30:34Love this party.
30:36I think half the people there were butt naked.

30:55Harvey Weinstein's Predatory Practices
30:57Harvey Weinstein had an incredibly complex machine designed to maintain silence around this.
31:03For decades, producer Harvey Weinstein was a Hollywood titan.
31:08But in 2017, bombshell articles in the New York Times and the New Yorker reported dozens of accusations of sexual abuse and assault.
31:16And so we spent many, many weeks and many months trying to get women who had had encounters with Weinstein to tell us their stories.
31:24More and more courageous women came forward, sparking the Me Too movement.
31:29In March 2020, Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years behind bars.
31:34But rumors had actually circulated for years.
31:37Gwyneth Paltrow alluded to Weinstein as being coercive back in 1998.
31:42I do all my movies for Harvey Weinstein.
31:44That's Miramax for all of you.
31:46And I'm lucky to do them there.
31:47But he will coerce you to do it.
31:49Other celebrities like Courtney Love and Seth MacFarlane dropped public references.
31:54And 30 Rock included not-so-subtle jabs about it.
31:57I'm not afraid of anyone in show business.
32:00I turned down intercourse with Harvey Weinstein on no less than three occasions out of five.
32:05It was less rumor and more open Hollywood secret.
32:08Justice eventually prevailed.
32:10And Weinstein's crimes were finally acknowledged and punished.
32:14Don't ruin your friendship with me for five minutes.
32:17Please.
32:17But I want to leave.
32:18Okay.
32:19Bye.
