Fact Check:
Combs appeared in court again seeking bail, a decision will be made next week, Fox News reported. Combs’ proposal was $50 million, but the other side believes many would be in danger if he is released, according to the outlet.
A post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, purports Gaga spoke out about Combs in a recent interview. The video shows Gaga with blonde hair and in a green sweater as she fights tears to retell an experience.
The caption reads, “Suddenly, all of Hollywood knew about Diddy’s parties. They are all coming out of the woodwork to make sure everyone knows that they did not participate. Right…..Sorry but I don’t believe any of you. Do you believe ‘Lady’ Gaga?”

During her appearance on the 2021 series, Gaga shared her experience with an unnamed producer who sexually assaulted her which resulted in PSTD, CNN reported.
