Kelly Ripa Faces Backlash for Diddy Yacht Invite Request Amid His Legal Troubles

The controversial rerun of 'Live With Kelly and Mark' aired shortly after Diddy's homes were raided in a sex trafficking investigation.

Kelly Ripa's request for an invite to Diddy's yacht during a rerun of 'Live With Kelly and Mark' sparks controversy amid Diddy's sex trafficking investigation.
The rerun featured an old interview with Mary J. Blige from June 2023, which was poorly timed given recent raids on Diddy's homes.
Diddy's homes were raided as part of a federal sex trafficking investigation, but he has not been charged or arrested.
Cassie Ventura, Diddy's ex-girlfriend, filed a lawsuit against him in late 2023, accusing him of rape and physical abuse, which was settled out of court.
Critics and the public have reacted negatively to the rerun, questioning the decision to air it and the timing.
