'Voltron Of Felons': Photo Of Trump, Diddy, Russell Simmons Goes Viral As All Three Face Rape Charges
A photo of Donald Trump, Sean "Diddy" Combs, and Russell Simmons taken nearly two decades ago has resurfaced and gone viral on social media as all three men face rape allegations.
The image, which resurfaced on X, formerly Twitter, Wednesday, showed Combs posing with Trump, his wife Melania Trump, Simmons, and his then-wife Kimora Lee Simmons.
"Lmao the criminality is crazy," an X user captioned the image, which has received over 3 million views on the platform.
The photo was taken during Simmons' "Art For Life Palm Beach" event at Trump's Palm Beach, Florida estate Mar-a-Lago on March 11, 2005, according to Getty Images' description of the snap.
Combs was honored at the fundraiser for his philanthropic efforts, Sun Sentinel reported at the time.
Social media users quickly shared their reactions to the photo, with many pointing to the lawsuits and allegations Combs, Trump, and Simmons are facing.
"It's [about] 300 felonies in this picture," one person commented.
A second X user described them as the "Voltron of Felons," while another called the trio the "Power Rangers of predators."
"This is an example of show me your company and I'll tell you who you are," another wrote, while a fifth X user commented, "Predators of a feather creep together."
"The amount of litigation and offshore accounts in this photo is astronomical," another person claimed.
The photo resurfaced just days after producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones filed a lawsuit Monday against Combs for alleged sexual assault and harassment.
Jones, who worked on Combs' recent "Love" album, is seeking $30 million in damages.
In a statement to Page Six, Combs' lawyer denied the allegations, calling Jones a "liar" and accusing him of "looking for an undeserved payday."
Last year, four women, including Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie, sued Combs for various allegations, ranging from rape to sex trafficking.
In December 2023, Combs released a statement on Instagram vehemently denying all allegations against him.
Earlier this month, Simmons was accused of sexual harassment and battery in a lawsuit filed against him by a former executive at his label Def Jam Recordings.
Simmons denied the allegations, saying in a statement obtained by NBC News: "I have never engaged in non-consensual sex. I would not, did not, and never will."
Over the years, more than 10 women have come forward to accuse Simmons of rape, sexual harassment, assault, or violence, according to Billboard.
Simmons also denied these allegations.
Meanwhile, last year, Trump was found liable for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll at a New York department store in 1996 and for defaming her in 2022 while denying the assault.
After Trump filed a countersuit alleging Carroll defamed him by saying she was raped following the verdict, a judge threw out the former president's counterclaim, finding that the columnist's rape allegation was "substantially true," USA Today reported.
Trump was ordered to pay Carroll a combined $88.3 million for her two legal victories against him.
The former president has vowed to appeal the verdict.
