'Diddy' : If you suck it right, I'll help your career...

These agreements are as old as time itself. You probably know them as 'quid pro quo'.

Let's change things up a bit and remove anything sexual between the two : 

Let's say Diddy had met this man at a friend's house, and the guy told him he repaired appliances for a living. Diddy tells him his refrigerator is not working properly - he sets the temp at 35 and the relatively new $10,000 fridge only cools to 45. He needs someone to come by and fix it so it cools down to 35, which is his preference. The guy says that's an easy repair. They 'negotiate' a quid pro quo, and the guy says to Diddy, 'if you can get me two tickets to the Beyonce concert in a few months, I'll do it for you at no charge'. They agree. Diddy says he wants it cooled down to 35, the guy says he will take care of it.

The next day the guy goes over, works on it for a half hour or so, and gets the appliance to cool down to 40. Diddy tells him it's not working to his liking - he asked for it to be 35. That was the deal, and the guy said he could fix it to his specifications. The guy says he did his best and 40 is cool enough for food safety and leaves, thinking he fulfilled his part of the 'qpq' and is expecting Diddy to drop off the tickets to him before the concert in two months. He never does - the 'qpq' was not fulfilled to Diddy's satisfaction. 

Two years after the deal and no concert tickets, the guy sues Diddy. The first thing the Judge asks them is if they had a written agreement on this 'qpq'.  NO ? It was verbal ?  Case dismissed.  

I think in this scenario the repair guy should have only expected 1 ticket.

If your job requires you to be in the close presence of a star with a huge history of publicly known sexual aggression, and you claim you didn’t know he’s a sexual predator, I hope you also have someone to dress you in the morning and help you find your way back home. 😵‍💫

Again, just to make sure we don't confuse the actual scenario, it's been established that the photographer was NOT employed by anyone there, so he was not there in a professional capacity. He apparently had heard a commercial was being filmed, he was near the location (for whatever reason) and decided to wander over and see the commercial being made. Diddy happened to be there as well (not sure in what capacity) and the two of them were somehow introduced. I know the photographer was not employed by anyone there.
