Nicole Daedone, who’s in jail awaiting her sentencing for crimes associated to her “orgasmic meditation” enterprise, condemned what she believes is a double commonplace mirrored within the final result of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ case.
“Diddy principally will get off whereas Rachel and I get convicted for what may very well be twenty years,” Daedone stated in an announcement given solely to NBC Information, referring to former firm government and co-defendant Rachel Cherwitz. “That ought to let you know all the things you might want to find out about how we (society) view ladies’s sexuality.”
Final month, a federal jury in Brooklyn discovered Daedone and Cherwitz responsible of compelled labor conspiracy. Federal prosecutors in New York alleged of their indictment that they focused victims of trauma to turn into members of their firm and manipulated them into performing intercourse acts and going into debt, amongst different issues. The federal government stated the 2 ladies “coerced their victims to sexually service OneTaste’s present and potential buyers, purchasers and workers.” Daedone and Cherwitz denied the claims.
They’re presently in jail awaiting their sentencing, which is scheduled for September. They face as much as 20 years in jail.
“The case operated at an emotional degree, not a authorized or rational one. It made good sense to me: a self-possessed sexual lady is presumed responsible; within the present tradition she will be able to by no means be confirmed harmless,” Daedone stated.
Prosecutors declined to touch upon Daedone’s assertion.
Daedone based ladies’s wellness firm OneTaste in 2004 and grew it right into a $12 million enterprise with 1000’s of followers, profitable celeb followers reminiscent of Gwyneth Paltrow and Khloe Kardashian. However an explosive 2018 Bloomberg article and a subsequent 2022 Netflix documentary “Orgasm Inc.” featured former workers who stated they had been subjected to a poisonous surroundings. Daedone and Cherwitz, who had been head of gross sales for the corporate, had been indicted in 2023.
Daedone stated her conviction is unjust compared to hip hop mogul Combs’ acquittal final week on costs of intercourse trafficking and racketeering. Combs was convicted by a Manhattan federal jury of two lesser costs of transportation to have interaction in prostitution. His attorneys referred to as the decision “a victory” after prosecutors for seven weeks painted him because the chief of a legal enterprise who intercourse trafficked two of his former girlfriends.
The prostitution crimes carry most sentences of as much as 10 years every, however specialists don’t anticipate him to obtain that a lot.
Maurene Comey, who led the crew of prosecutors in Combs’ trial, repeatedly performed the safety footage of Combs brutally beating Cassie Ventura at a Los Angeles lodge in 2016. Prosecutors advised jurors that Combs used violence, medicine and blackmail to drive Ventura and one other girlfriend generally known as “Jane,” to have intercourse with male escorts in drug fueled encounters he dubbed “freak offs.”
NBC Information has reached out to Combs’ crew for remark.
