[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content]
More and more information is coming out in Diddy’s sex trafficking trial… including details about who exactly was involved.
During week 1 of the defamed rapper’s New York trial, prosecutors revealed several photos of male sex workers who claim they participated in Diddy’s “freak-offs” — one of which included a former reality star who was locked up in 2021 on some horrifying charges. According to multiple outlets, Ash Armand of Showtime’s reality show Gigolos was one of the workers involved!

If you haven’t heard of Gigolos, it’s a show that ran from 2011 to 2016 and followed the lives of five male sex workers as they navigated… business… in Las Vegas.
His real name is Akshaya Kubiak, and beyond participating in Diddy’s sex parties, his life is shrouded in darkness.
According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the former reality star pleaded guilty in September 2021 to the brutal beating and subsequent death of Herleen Dulai. According to the outlet, he claimed he and the 29-year-old took psychedelic mushrooms prior to the incident, which he claimed he “blacked out” from. He argued at the time:
“I have never hit a woman in my life, and I certainly never wanted to hurt Herleen.”
On the day of the incident, Armand called the police to report that Dulai was unconscious. But when they arrived, it was clear she was “obviously deceased,” according to the outlet. Her official cause of death was blunt force trauma and strangulation. Armand was officially charged with voluntary manslaughter and mayhem, both of which he pleaded guilty to. And now, he’s serving an eight to 20-year prison sentence.
Whoa… Extremely terrifying and even more so considering the alleged abuse the world has seen Diddy inflict on ex-girlfriend Cassie.
The brutal death has since become the focus of a new Paramount+ series titled Sin City Gigolo, which debuted in March of this year.
Upon learning the news of Armand’s involvement in Diddy’s affairs, rapper 50 Cent, who has been openly critical of the Bad Boy Records founder, took to Instagram on Monday to share a since-deleted post which read:
“This s**t is a movie one of the sex workers caught a body.”
Absolutely wild…
