Zeishan Quadri has issued an apology for his controversial comment, ‘Audience mera ghar nahi chalati’. He made during his stint as a contestant on Bigg Boss 19. His remark drew widespread public backlash, prompting him to address the incident and clarify the context of his statement following his eviction from the show. During an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble, the now-evicted contestant cleared the air on his remarks, which hurt the audience. Scroll down to read more and watch the interview.

When asked about his audience mera ghar nahi chalati remarks on Bigg Boss 19, Zeishan Quadri said, “Nahi, I’m really sorry. Audience ko shayad wo video nahi dikhaya gaya jahan pe maine maafi bhi maangi thi — aur dil se Bigg Boss se bhi maafi maangi thi. Isi wajah se audience ko khud samajhna chahiye tha ki jab Salman sir aaye, to unhone, rather than isko issue bana ke mujhe daantne ki jagah, jaise hi mujhe toka, maine wahan pe bhi sorry bola. Aur maine ye bhi bola ki main emotionally thoda sa carried away ho gaya tha. To sir ne bola, ‘Main yahi emotions ko yahan sambhalne aata hoon.’ Baat ye hui thi ki paanchva hafta tha — ekdum sar dard karwa diya tha Kunickaa ji ne.”

Zeishan On Kunickaa’s Behaviour

He continued, “Har baat mein ungli karna, har baat mein jhoot bolna, selective memory, aag lagana — poori se leke sursuri tak unki saari baatein chal rahi thi. And at the same point of time, jab maine ye baat Bigg Boss ko boli, aur usi ke aadhe-poune ghante ke andar ye baat janta ko boli, to context ye tha ki —agar aap votes deke inko jitana chahte ho, to mujhe mat do votes, bhai! Inko hi jitao. Aise logon ko hi rakho — toxic logon ko. Aur agar aapko hum jaise log pasand hain, to humko do votes. Aur aadmi gusse mein hota hai yaar, aapko pata nahi hai. Dekho, bahar se show dekhna bahut different hai. I completely agree.”

The filmmaker concluded, “Andar is tarah ki cheezon ko jhelna bahut mushkil hai. Aur woh meri hi cheezein thi. Maine gusse mein agar aakar bola bhi, to maine kisko bola? Bigg Boss mein hi sorry bola na? Unko hi bola aur kisiko bola ki yaar, yahan pe mujhse galti hui hai. I’m very much aware ki maine kya bola, and I’m sorry for that. But us time pe main bhi, as a human being, frustrated ho chuka tha cheezon se. Main koi AI ya computer se nahi chal raha hoon — insaan hoon yaar, reactions aayenge mere bhi. Toh woh bilkul waise hi natural reactions the, aur uske baad maine sorry bhi bola. Sir ne bhi uss moment ko bahut achhe se sambhala, unhone bola, ‘Aap jab bahar nikloge, to janta ka pyaar milega.’ Toh maine bhi bola, ‘Sir, already said this sorry, and again, I’m sorry.’”

Zeishan Quadri was recently seen in Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 19.

Louis C.K. defends Riyadh Comedy Festival appearance, while Jessica Kirson apologises for playing

Louis C.K. has defended playing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, while fellow comedian Jessica Kirson has apologised for her appearance.

The controversial event is being held in the Saudi Arabian capital and also included on the line-up are Dave Chappelle, Bill Burr, Aziz Ansari, Jimmy Carr, Pete Davidson, Kevin Hart, Jim Jefferies and Chris Tucker.

The festival has been criticised by groups such as Human Rights Watch as being an example of the Saudi government attempting to whitewash its human rights abuses and position itself as a venue for major international cultural events.

Other comedians such as Marc Maron, Shane Gillis and Zach Woods have also hit out at their peers for playing at the festival, with Maron quipping, “You know, ‘from the folks that brought you 9/11, two weeks of laughter in the desert. Don’t miss it!’”

“I mean, the same guy that’s going to pay them is the same guy that paid that guy to bonesaw Jamal Khashoggi and put him in a fucking suitcase,” he said, referring to the dissident Saudi journalist that was murdered at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in 2018. “But don’t let that stop the yucks, it’s gonna be a good time,” he added.

Now, Louis C.K. has spoken about playing the festival on Real Time With Bill Maher. “When I’m talking to the other comedians who have been there, they’ve been really surprised by what’s going on,” C.K. said “There’s a woman who’s a lesbian and Jewish, who did a show there, and she got a standing ovation. So, there’s stuff going on that’s unexpected in this thing. People have been playing Saudi Arabia for years. Comedians have been going and playing Arab countries. There was a film festival there recently, it’s kind of opened up. But I’ve always said no to Arab countries.”

He continued: “And when this came up, they said there’s only two restrictions – their religion and their government, I don’t have jokes about those two things. It used to be when I got offers from places like that, there would be a long list, and I’d just say, ‘No, I don’t need that.’ But when I heard it’s opening, I thought, that’s awfully interesting. That just feels like a good opportunity. And I just feel like comedy is a great way to get in and start talking.”

Kirson, on the other hand, has offered an apology for playing the event. The stand-up, who is openly lesbian, told The Hollywood Reporter: “I hoped that this could help LGBTQ+ people in Saudi Arabia feel seen and valued. I am grateful that I was able to do precisely that – to my knowledge, I am the first openly gay comic to talk about it on stage in Saudi Arabia. I received messages from attendees sharing how much it meant to them to participate in a gay-affirming event. At the same time, I deeply regret participating under the auspices of the Saudi government.”

She added: “Most importantly, I am deeply sorry to all the fans and followers I have hurt or disappointed.”

Bill Burr recently defended playing at the event, telling the Monday Morning Podcast: ““The royals loved the show. Everyone was happy. The people that were doing the festival were thrilled. The comedians that I’ve been talking to are saying, ‘Dude, you can feel [the audience] wanted it. They want to see real stand-up comedy.’ It was a mind-blowing experience. Definitely top three experiences I’ve had. I think it’s going to lead to a lot of positive things.”

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Sentenced To 50 Months In Prison For S*xual Assault Lawsuit; Rapper Apologises To Mother, Kids

written by jummy84

Hip-hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was sentenced to just over four years in prison on Friday after being convicted on prostitution-related charges involving his former girlfriends. His legal team argued for a 14-month sentence, emphasising that Combs is a reformed individual who has already served 13 months in a New York jail. Prosecutors, however, pushed for an 11-year sentence, citing his history of domestic violence.

Sean Diddy Combs Jailed For 50 Months In Prison

During the court proceedings, prosecutors detailed allegations of ab*se, and testimonies from several of Combs’ children—some visibly upset—were presented. The defence described him as an inspiring figure, while Combs himself offered a remorseful apology. Ultimately, Judge Arun Subramanian stated that a substantial sentence was necessary to serve as a deterrent and to send a message.

Before delivering the 50-month sentence, Combs addressed the court—his first public statement since the trial’s start. He apologised to his victims, specifically naming his ex-girlfriends, Casandra Ventura and ‘Jane, who testified under a pseudonym.

Sean’s Apology

“My actions were disgusting, shameful, and sick,” he said. “I got lost in excess, I got lost in my ego.” He also apologised to his mother and his seven children, many of whom were present in the courtroom. He pleaded for a second chance, asserting he would never jeopardise his time with his family again. “I ask your honour for mercy,” he implored. “I’m so sorry. They deserved better,” he added.

Combs expressed accountability, stating, “I don’t have nobody to blame but myself. I know that I’ve learned my lesson.”

What Happened Earlier In The Case?

The nearly two-month federal trial in New York City saw prosecutors accuse Combs of leveraging his celebrity and business empire to run a criminal enterprise and sex traffic his former girlfriends. They alleged that Combs arranged “freak-offs,” where he paid male escorts to have sex with his girlfriends while he watched and recorded, and that he coerced the women into unwanted encounters through drugs and violence.

Although Combs, 55, was acquitted in July of the most serious charges—racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking of Ventura and Jane—the jury found him guilty on two counts of transportation for prostitution. Throughout much of the trial, Combs maintained a stoic demeanour, listening quietly as prosecutors painted a picture of a man who devastated his victims’ lives.

Prosecutor’s Verdict

Prosecutor Christy Slavik argued that a harsher sentence was justified given the gravity of the offences. She emphasised that a lighter sentence would allow Combs to escape accountability for years of alleged domestic violence and ab*se.

“Today is about accountability and justice,” she asserted, pointing to victim statements and photographs of injuries inflicted by Combs. “He didn’t need the money; his currency was control. This is a defendant who will pose a danger at any age.”

The defence countered by asserting that Combs was not a pimp and that the prostitution charges did not reflect his actual conduct. Lawyer Jason Driscoll explained that the conviction was based on the Mann Act, a law from 1910 criminalising the transportation of women for immoral purposes, but noted that Combs did not profit financially from the acts.

They portrayed Combs as a changed man, citing his positive contributions during his 13 months in Brooklyn jail, as well as underlying issues like trauma and dr*g addiction that influenced his behaviour. Defence attorney Nicole Westmoreland expressed that Combs had personally inspired her and highlighted his efforts to start his own record label and clothing line, which she claimed motivated other black entrepreneurs.

Many of Combs’ children testified emotionally, with some sobbing, describing him as a “changed man” and pleading for a second chance. His son Quincy Brown remarked that Combs had “evolved,” and Delila Combs, 18, begged for the opportunity for her family to heal.

Final Verdict

Judge Subramanian acknowledged their testimonies but emphasised that Combs’ actions went beyond mere consumption of prostitution. He was found to have ab*sed his victims physically, emotionally, and psychologically. “You had the money and the power to keep it going,” he said, “This was subjugation.”

The judge rejected the defence’s portrayal of the relationships as consensual and emphasised that Combs’s conduct caused lasting trauma. “You ab*sed them, physically, emotionally, and psychologically,” he said. “Both women will carry this trauma for a lifetime. You had the means to continue, and you chose to subjugate them. This is the reality of what happened.”

Combs will serve approximately 50 months, crediting the roughly 13 months he already spent in custody. He will also be fined $500,000. Following the hearing, his attorney, Marc Agnifilo, announced plans to appeal the ruling.

Bigg Boss 19: Amaal Mallik Apologises To Awez Darbar For Past Cheating Remarks; Abhishek Bajaj-Farrhana Bhatt Clash Over Personal Belongings

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Day 34 inside the Bigg Boss 19 house was packed with drama, emotions, and confrontations that shook the equilibrium among contestants. What began with an attempt at reconciliation between Amaal and Awez soon spiralled into personal disputes, unexpected alliances, and a high-voltage captaincy task that divided the house. By the end of the day, Farrhana emerged as the new captain, while tempers flared and unresolved tensions continued to simmer.

The day began on a softer note when Amaal addressed his earlier remarks about Awez’s past relationship. Awez, visibly emotional, expressed his disappointment, saying, “I know a lot of things about Baseer, but I never spoke about them. Even when Abhishek kept asking, I chose not to say anything because I knew he would use it against me. People on your side only talk to demean you. Why not talk about the effort? Nobody is perfect. The audience sees everything—if you hang out with those people, it creates a wrong perspective about you.”

He added that he never fakes bonds for visibility, even if it costs him the game. In response, Amaal owned up to his mistake, clarifying, “If you felt hurt, I’m genuinely sorry. I’m not apologising to look good on the show—I know you from outside, and my apology comes from the heart.” The exchange helped ease the tension between the two, drawing attention from other housemates as well.

Nehal Warns About Tanya’s Influence

Later, Nehal confided in Kunickaa and Neelam, telling them that Tanya was trying to use their goodwill and control their game. She insisted they weren’t realising Tanya’s manipulation, which made Neelam distance herself slightly from Tanya. However, Neelam admitted she was still unsure whether to trust Nehal fully, creating further uncertainty in the dynamics.

Abhishek-Farrhana’s Clash Over Personal Belongings

A small misunderstanding quickly escalated into a major fight between Abhishek and Farrhana. It began when Farrhana noticed her quilt had been thrown off her bed, and although Abhishek denied involvement, she suspected him, leaving her frustrated. Things turned serious when Abhishek discovered Farrhana had used his towel. He confronted her angrily, calling it a breach of personal hygiene.

Farrhana defended herself: “Tanya handed me the towel after I came out of the pool. I just needed something to cover myself—it wasn’t intentional.” Abhishek remained firm: “Even then, you should have checked. Why would you use someone else’s personal hygiene item?” The argument snowballed, with Abhishek demanding an apology, and Farrhana refusing: “I didn’t take it from your suitcase. I was given the towel, so I used it. I won’t apologise.” The spat drew in other housemates, but neither backed down, leaving the issue unresolved.

Captaincy Task Divides The House

The captaincy task saw housemates choosing between Farrhana and Gaurav as contenders. Contestants had to place a black garland on the person they didn’t want as captain and explain their reason. The session was rife with fiery comments: Kunickaa called Farrhana “nihayati badtameez, besharam aur bekaar ladki,” while Ashnoor labelled her “gand” and said she lacked boundaries. Nehal, however, garlanded Gaurav, saying she wanted a woman to lead the house, while Amaal also went against Gaurav.

Abhishek targeted Farrhana, calling her “unhygienic” and unfit to lead, as she couldn’t separate her personal issues from maintaining household peace. Awez and Pranit also garlanded Farrhana, while Mridul supported Gaurav, calling him a “gentleman.” Tanya surprised everyone by garlanding Gaurav despite liking him, openly admitting, “I’m a flipper, and since I’m good friends with Farrhana, I want her to be the captain.” In the end, the votes swung against Gaurav, and Farrhana emerged as the new captain despite the barrage of criticism directed at her.

Gaurav’s Outburst After Losing

The loss hit Gaurav hard, and he vented his frustration at the housemates. He accused them of being unfair and hiding behind friendships: “Everyone kept saying I don’t play on the front foot. This was my chance to prove myself as captain, and you all know I would have managed the house better than Farrhana. You’ve lost the right to call me out now.” His emotional outburst left the house divided, with some housemates agreeing he had been denied a fair chance.

Tanya Refuses Dinner Duty

Tensions rose again when Tanya refused to perform her dinner duty, upset over Abhishek repeatedly calling her a “flipper.” Farrhana intervened, asking why Abhishek, Kunickaa, and Ashnoor were attacking Tanya despite her efforts in the kitchen. Abhishek bluntly replied that Tanya had herself admitted to being a flipper, which further irritated Tanya and sparked another round of arguments.

Amaal vs Nehal Over Voting Choices

Amaal clashed with Nehal after Zeishan pointed out that her voting decisions appeared inconsistent. Nehal explained she had wanted to save Amaal’s group, but later felt guilty seeing another group’s strong performance. Amaal accused her of showing empathy towards rivals instead of supporting her own side, warning that her words could be used against them. The argument left Nehal emotional, and she later broke down in front of Farrhana, confessing she regretted her decisions and felt conflicted after hearing things in the secret room.

Morning Spat Between Amaal and Tanya

The day started with friction as Amaal got upset over a joke Tanya made about the captaincy task. He felt her comment was unnecessary and disrespectful, leading to a sharp exchange. Tanya broke down in tears after Amaal’s harsh tone, though he later tried to pacify her. Their heated argument eventually ended with an apology and a hug, but the tension lingered, leaving both emotionally drained.
