Nicole Daedone, who’s in jail awaiting her sentencing for crimes associated to her “orgasmic meditation” enterprise, condemned what she believes is a double customary mirrored within the consequence of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ case.
Final month, a federal jury in Brooklyn discovered Daedone and Cherwitz responsible of pressured labor conspiracy. Federal prosecutors in New York alleged of their indictment that they focused victims of trauma to change into members of their firm and manipulated them into performing intercourse acts and going into debt, amongst different issues. The federal government mentioned the 2 ladies “coerced their victims to sexually service OneTaste’s current and prospective investors, clients and employees.” Daedone and Cherwitz denied the claims.
They’re at the moment 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 level, not a legal or rational one. It made perfect sense to me: a self-possessed sexual woman is presumed guilty; in the current culture she can never be proven innocent,” Daedone mentioned.
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 hundreds of followers, successful superstar followers comparable to Gwyneth Paltrow and Khloe Kardashian. However an explosive 2018 Bloomberg article and a subsequent 2022 Netflix documentary “Orgasm Inc.” featured former workers who mentioned they have been subjected to a poisonous surroundings. Daedone and Cherwitz, who had been head of gross sales for the corporate, have been indicted in 2023.
Daedone mentioned her conviction is unjust compared to hip hop mogul Combs’ acquittal final week on fees of intercourse trafficking and racketeering. Combs was convicted by a Manhattan federal jury of two lesser fees of transportation to interact in prostitution. His attorneys known as the decision “a victory” after prosecutors for seven weeks painted him because the chief of a prison enterprise who intercourse trafficked two of his former girlfriends.
The prostitution crimes carry most sentences of as much as 10 years every, however consultants don’t count on him to obtain that a lot.
Maurene Comey, who led the staff of prosecutors in Combs’ trial, repeatedly performed the safety footage of Combs brutally beating Cassie Ventura at a Los Angeles resort in 2016. Prosecutors instructed jurors that Combs used violence, medication and blackmail to drive Ventura and one other girlfriend referred to as “Jane,” to have intercourse with male escorts in drug fueled encounters he dubbed “freak offs.”
