It's a story to which I'm sure most #dads can relate. One day, you're just minding your business when your son tells you he got kicked out of his collegiate practice for the rest of the summer.
The next thing you know, you're attacking a strength coach with a kettleball (allegedly).
So apparently was the fate of rapper/media mogul Diddy, who is now out on $50,000 bail after being booked on three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of making terroristic threats, and one count of battery.
TMZ is saying Diddy might have a case, though:
The confrontation that led to Diddy's arrest was years in the making, because coach Sal Alosi went on a campaign to emotionally tear down Justin Combs ... this according to sources with inside knowledge.
Our sources claim strength and conditioning coach Alosi engaged in psychological warfare against Justin for the past 3 years. Our sources say Alosi was verbally abusive to the extreme -- publicly humiliating Diddy's son on numerous occasions.
The sources say it was evident to anyone who watched ... Alosi was bullying Justin, and psychologically damaged him.
On one hand, it makes sense: Justin Combs grew up in the lap of luxury — and everybody on the team knows it — which would make him an easy target for a strength coach, an occupation where borderline bullying is basically written into the job description.
On the other, if you're going to tear a young man down, it's best to do it with a plan to build him back up. Otherwise, some angry dad might take a kettleball to your face.
