Diddy Denies Prison Rumors: ‘The Claims I Was Caught With Alcohol Are Completely False’

Diddy Denies Prison Rumors: ‘The Claims I Was Caught With Alcohol Are Completely False’

In a post shared on his official X account, Diddy declared: “The rumors claiming Mr. Combs was caught with alcohol are completely false. His only focus is becoming the best version of himself and returning to his family.”

Diddy is currently incarcerated at Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix in New Jersey following his conviction on prostitution-related charges. While in custody, several media outlets have reported allegations that he was found consuming homemade alcohol behind bars — notably, a mix of soda, sugar and apples that inmates allegedly ferment into a low-grade drink.

In response, a representative of Diddy issued a statement saying: “Mr. Combs is in his first week at FCI Fort Dix and is focused on adjusting, working on himself and doing better each day. As with any high-profile individual in a new environment, there will be many rumors and exaggerated stories throughout his time there—most of them untrue. We ask that people give him the benefit of the doubt, the privacy to focus on his personal growth with grace and purpose.”

So far, prison officials have not publicly confirmed the alleged alcohol incident. Meanwhile, the statement from Diddy’s team aims to offer a counter-narrative by categorically denying the initial rumors and shifting attention to his personal journey and family focus.

Russell Crowe says cutting back on his alcohol intake helped him drop 55lbs.

The Gladiator star, 61, loves a tipple, but he now limits booze to “one night a week” and is reaping the benefits, as a year after wrapping filming on Nuremberg, he’s shed an impressive amount of weight. 

Appearing on The Joe Rogan Experience, he said: “I’m a big proponent for having a drink.

“But as you get older, there are certain things that you start to learn about your capacities.”

He continued: “Now that I’m an older guy, I know that one night a week—if I’m having fun—is plenty. I try to cut out the interstitial stuff.”

These days, Crowe would rather have one glass of expensive wine as a treat than consume any old drink “for the sake of it”.

He explained: “If I decide I’m going to have a glass of wine with dinner, then it’s going to be a really nice wine.

“I try not to have casual drinks now, having a drink for the sake of it. Those add up.”

The Australian native has also suffered from “deeply arthritic” shoulder and knee injuries, and the treatments for that have helped to reduce his “body’s inflammation”.

He shared: “It’s calmed down my body’s inflammation.

“What was messy a year ago, now has just lessened probably by about 70 per cent. One area in right shoulder, probably by about 90 per cent.”

Crowe quipped: “Now, it’s f****** rock and roll, son.

“It’s all going good.”

Meanwhile, the Nice Guys star recently ruled out getting married again following rumours he and girlfriend Britney Theriot were engaged.

Crowe was previously married to Australian singer and actress Danielle Spencer, with whom he tied the knot in 2003 and divorced in 2018.

The 61-year-old actor and his 33-year-old partner are often rumoured to be engaged, but Crowe insists he doesn’t want to “ruin” his “joyous and happy” life with his partner with a wedding.

Appearing on Sunday’s 60 Minutes last weekend, he said: “All these reports coming out that Britney and I are engaged and I’m going to get married again? No.

“My life is joyous and happy, why ruin that with a wedding?”

He gushed over his five-year relationship: “We respect each other and wake up with a smile, and we are very happy.”

Doubling down on not wanting to walk down the aisle again, he added: “I’ve been married once, and I know where that can go.

“I’m not gonna get married again. Doing it once is cool, but I don’t want to get married again.”

Crowe – who has Charles, 21, and Tennyson, 19, with his ex-spouse – has been dating Britney since 2020.

Diddy Reportedly Caught Drinking Homemade Alcohol in Prison Weeks After Declaring Sobriety

Diddy Reportedly Caught Drinking Homemade Alcohol in Prison Weeks After Declaring Sobriety

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ pledge to remain sober appears to have hit a snag while serving time in federal prison. According to TMZ, the music mogul was caught with homemade alcohol inside Fort Dix, the low-security New Jersey facility where he is currently incarcerated.

Sources told the outlet that Diddy had been drinking a fermented mixture of Fanta, sugar, and apples — a concoction commonly made by inmates and left to ferment for about two weeks. Prison officials reportedly discovered the alcohol and initially planned to move Diddy to another unit, though that decision was later reversed.

Just last month, Diddy spoke to the judge about his sobriety during sentencing, stating that he was sober for the first time in 25 years and acknowledging how substance use had affected his life. In a letter to the court, he wrote, “The old me died in jail and a new version of me was reborn. Prison will change you or kill you — I choose to live.”

Recent photos published showed Diddy in the Fort Dix prison yard appearing upbeat and social with other inmates. The 54-year-old was convicted in July on two counts of violating the Mann Act and sentenced to 50 months in prison this past October. He was transferred to Fort Dix last week.

When contacted by press, a prison official said they had “no information” about the reported alcohol incident.

Vicky Kaushal Gave Up Non-Veg And Alcohol For His Upcoming Role As Lord Parashurama in Amar Kaushik’s “Mahavatar”

After the massive success of Chhava, Vicky Kaushal is all set to take on another epic historical film. The actor will soon collaborate with Stree 2 director Amar Kaushik for a magnum opus titled “Mahavatar”, based on the life of Chiranjeevi Parashurama, an immortal incarnation of Lord Vishnu. According to a recent report by one of the media houses, Vicky Kaushal has decided to make significant lifestyle changes before stepping into this divine role.

Vicky Kaushal

Vicky Kaushal Quit Alcohol

The actor plans to give up alcohol and non-vegetarian food as part of his preparation for Mahavatar. A source close to the film revealed, “A film like Mahavatar requires complete concentration, and both Vicky Kaushal and Amar Kaushik are determined to give it their all. They’ve decided to give up non-vegetarian food and alcohol. Preparations for the film will begin with a grand puja ceremony next year.”

The source further added, “Amar has already given up his eating and drinking habits, while Vicky will do the same after completing the shoot of Love and War. This is his way of showing respect to the character of Lord Parashurama.” The much-anticipated project, produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films, is expected to go on floors in late 2026 and release in theaters in 2028. The film is touted to be one of the biggest mythological productions ever made in India, combining cutting-edge technology with a story rooted in ancient Indian lore.

Vicky Kaushal

In May 2025, producer Dinesh Vijan spoke about Mahavatar, emphasizing the importance of telling stories inspired by India’s heritage. He said, “Over the last 10 years, we’ve been focusing on telling stories rooted in our own culture rather than chasing Western narratives. India is the only country with such rich mythology and history. Stree and Chhava are examples of that. Mahavatar is probably our biggest film yet, we want to make it grand, world-class, and culturally authentic.”

Drinking in moderation? Study warns even small amounts of alcohol may seriously harm brain health

Drinking in moderation? Study warns even small amounts of alcohol may seriously harm brain health

Light drinking may cause cognitive decline, as a study revealed it carries a risk of developing neurodegenerative disease.

Much like alcohol has the heavy drinker, tipping over into borderline addiction, this beverage also has its share of light drinkers. Some people enjoy it casually, once in a while, at parties or restaurants, drinking in small amounts. Previous studies also suggested the likelihood of light drinking benefiting brain health.

But a recent study published in the BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine on September 23, 2025, debunked this idea that light consumption has any positive effect. In fact, it may actually act as a risk factor for neurodegenerative disease, dementia.

No safe limit for alcohol consumption?

Often, it is said that if something is consumed in moderation, the effects aren’t disastrous, as long as one adheres to the safe limits. Likewise, the same was applied to alcohol, too. But the protective effects seen in the previous studies from light alcohol consumption were actually false, as people who later developed dementia actually drank less in the years leading up to the diagnosis, so this challenges the previously established findings.

The researchers conducted a large study, including data from over half a million people, along with genetic information from 2 million more. In other words, the study was very extensive. The findings revealed that any alcohol consumption actually increases dementia risk. In addition, genetically predisposed people have a 15 to 16 per cent higher chance of developing dementia. Genetic risk here means being genetically vulnerable to alcohol use disorder.

What does it mean?

The findings imply that even small amounts of alcohol in the long run damage your brain, setting you up for dementia later in life. The researchers urged that public health advice should not depict light drinking as safe or harmless, as it too carries significant risks. This is particularly true for middle-aged adults who have a high risk of cognitive decline; cutting down on alcohol may help reduce the risks of dementia later in life.

Cardiologist warns 'even moderate alcohol can literally shrink your brain': Long-term use may lead to dementia

Cardiologist warns ‘even moderate alcohol can literally shrink your brain’: Long-term use may lead to dementia

by jummy84 September 20, 2025
written by jummy84

Dr Alok Chopra, a cardiologist shared in a September 10 Instagram post: “Protecting your heart means protecting your brain. Alcohol quietly sabotages both.” He wrote in his caption, “Moderation isn’t protection — alcohol can still shrink your brain.” Also read | Neuroscientist warns ‘avoid these 3 drinks because they are damaging your brain’

Dr Chopra went on to explain how even ‘moderate’ use of alcohol can ‘literally shrink your brain’. According to him, chronic alcohol use reduces brain volume, affecting decision-making and memory. Dr Chopra shared that alcohol alters sleep cycles, and impairs memory, attention, and executive function, potentially contributing to dementia.

Moreover, alcohol increases anxiety, depression, and mood swings while reducing impulse control, he added. Dr Chopra further explained that alcohol triggers inflammation, damaging neurons and increasing the risk of neurodegenerative conditions.

He shared the five effects of alcohol on the brain:

Brain shrinkage

“Chronic alcohol use reduces overall brain volume. Frontal Lobe (decision-making) and hippocampus (memory) are most affected. Resulting in memory issues, poor focus and slower thinking,” Dr Chopra said.

Neuro-inflammation

He added, “Alcohol triggers inflammation, damaging neurons and neural pathways. It is also known to increase the risks of neurodegenerative conditions over time.”

Sleep disruption

According to Dr Chopra, “Alcohol alters sleep cycles, reducing REM ( rapid eye movement) and deep sleep. Poor sleep affects memory, mood, and the brain repair processes.”

Cognitive decline

He said, “Alcohol impairs working memory, attention span, and executive function. Long-term use may contribute to alcohol-related dementia.”

Emotional and behavioural changes

Dr Chopra said, “It increases anxiety, depression, and mood swings and reduces impulse control and heightens risk-taking behaviour.”
