### PR Expert Warns Celebrities to Distance Themselves from Diddy's Scandal

In light of the ongoing scandal and legal troubles surrounding Diddy, a crisis public relations expert is advising Hollywood celebrities to steer clear of any association with the embattled rapper and producer.

Evan Nierman, a seasoned manager specializing in crisis PR, appeared on "TMZ Live" to discuss the predicament that some celebrities now find themselves in. He suggests that those who might be named in ongoing civil lawsuits connected to Diddy should consider settling out of court to protect their reputations.

Nierman pointed out that the lawsuits mention two unnamed celebrities. He advises these individuals to reach a financial settlement with the plaintiffs and their attorney, Tony Buzbee, to avoid publicity that could tie them to Diddy’s tarnished image.

According to Nierman, merely being mentioned in the same breath as Diddy in a lawsuit could spell the end for a celebrity’s brand, given the severe damage to Diddy's reputation following his indictment. He believes that Tony Buzbee is leveraging media coverage to pressure celebrities into settling, a strategic move commonly seen in high-stakes legal battles.

Despite Diddy's firm denial of all accusations, Nierman asserts that the public relations damage is already irreversible. He also speculates that despite the efforts to keep names under wraps, more Hollywood figures could soon find themselves entangled in the controversy surrounding Diddy.
