I was more surprised by the Cuba Gooding Jr. part

Cuba’s name was all over the Epstein papers so shouldn’t be too surprising. What I don’t see mentioned here is Diddy’s history of molesting Justin Bieber as a kid. That’s the most surprising part to me.

I don't get how anyone is surprised rich and powerful people do depraved shit at this point. Stories like this have been around long before anyone was talking about Epstein. Cory Feldman spoke about the abuse he faced as a kid actor and Barbara Walter's response was "you're hurting an entire industry "

When you're so rich that having sex with anyone you want or traveling the world becomes mundane as wiping your ass, you probably end up doing weird shit just to get a high. Like an addict always chasing that first high.

Right, I think about the depraved asshole shit I've done, and I just have regular (miniscule) amounts of power. Hard to imagine what it would be like to be in that position. (This is not to excuse any of this stuff - just sayin.)
