Hi, Marjorie. How are you doing?
Yeah, my name is James Vituska, and I'm a senior U.S. showbiz reporter at dailymail.com. I focus on everything involving A-list celebrities. Okay. And I've been doing this for 20 years. I've known actually Marjorie at past outlets.
I started Entertainment Tonight, and then I worked at Us Weekly, and then I worked at Radar Online, OK Magazine, Star Magazine, National Enquirer, and InTouch, and then I worked at TMZ before coming to Daily Mail.
Yeah, absolutely. So, I mean, you know, I actually have two sources within, you know, in that realm right there. You know, one of them is close to, you know, Luigi, I'll say, instead of Mangione, I'll say, you know, Luigi's legal team and another one is within the prison system. And so, you know, prior to being transferred to the Brooklyn facility, I mean, he was getting so much,
I guess, love mail and he was getting so many, you know, people were sending him gifts and people were starting to go fund me and, you know, donate all this money to him. So when he went into the prison, everybody knew who he was, you know, even at the prior place, you know, the prisoners were cheering for him out the windows and like, yeah, free Luigi.
And so it's interesting because you have Diddy in the same prison, whereas, you know, Diddy hasn't actually been, you know, convicted of anything yet, but you know what I mean? Luigi allegedly shot someone on camera, but yet The prisoners, they're Team Luigi, you know what I mean?
And so, you know, this is Diddy having his ego burst even inside prison is creating issues for him, you know, I guess emotionally, you know what I mean? He doesn't like the fact that, you know, Luigi went in there, you know, and has everybody's support and love, whereas Diddy goes in there and everybody wants to kill him, so to speak. But you know what I mean?
And I feel like that's interesting because they kept them separated. And then also because they share the same legal team, his lawyer and Diddy's lawyer are husband and wife, I believe.
So it makes it even more interesting that there's like, you know, like polar opposites. And, you know, it's going to be interesting when this goes to trial for both of them to see kind of what happens here.
You got this young guy who's, you know, extremely attractive. You know, I could say that, you know, in prison, who's, you know, getting all this attention. And he is incredibly jealous of him for many, many reasons. It's like, you know, he's got all the love. And, you know, that was Diddy's last album was love. Coincidentally, you know, but we just get all the love and support from people inside.
And, you know, they're helping him. He's still getting all these donations and Tens of thousands of dollars in money that's come to him and just endless gifts, and Diddy doesn't get anything. There's definitely some jealousy issues going on there.
It is interesting. And from what I've heard, they're still kept separate. But some people say inside that they've crossed paths, but I don't see the two of them dining together anytime soon.
Yes.
It's strange because, you know, no one had heard from Wendy for decades.
years you know what i mean and then you know i'm i'm i'm on you know our server system looking you know through you know data i guess you know and and i find a number and i was like oh i'm just gonna call it you know i mean and then as soon as she picked up she's all hello and i'm like this is wendy williams and i knew right away you know what i mean but there was a little bit like shoot should i keep on the call because you know apparently she's suffering from a disability today you know and then she just started talking freely you know and one of the first things that she started talking about you know she was she was kind of you know her normal gossip queen self you know and and she sounded
normal to me you know i will be honest and say that you know she sounded normal um you know and she was she was very very um coherent and she was also very she also could remember specific details about things such as her interactions with diddy now she always called diddy out um you know on her show the wendy williams show she would constantly call him out right you know and and say you know basically what you know these are you know what he's what he's going through now what he's dealing with now it's kind of like she would
She knew then, and she would say it then, you know what I mean? But you know, now people, you know, went back and they're like, whoa, Wendy told us this years ago. Well, she told me that her first interaction with Diddy was when she was a young, I believe that she was a young reporter and it was, uh, it was probably like 25 years ago.
So she's remembering this exact event and she was driving to a Diddy's event. Um, I think it was at the stadium or something like that. And then all of a sudden she was stopped because there was cop cars everywhere. And this was the event where, uh, people were, it was a Diddy party that it was like one of his first where he threw and, and people were trampled to death.
Um, you have to look at the exact location, everything like that, but it was pretty big news at the time. And she says, you know, that was her first, you know, interaction with Diddy is that he took no accountability for it. He did, you know, no, no apology, nothing. It was just kind of like, so her immediate, you know, interact, you know, his, her immediate first, first impression of him was.
It's kind of, you know, a slime ball, but then, you know, all of the rumors that kind of piling up and piling up, she kept calling them out and calling them out. And she did to me.
