00:00:11,464 --> 00:00:16,024
Speaker 1: You're listening to a Mama Mia podcast. Mamma Mia acknowledges

Speaker 1: the traditional owners of land and borders that this podcast

00:00:19,704 --> 00:00:20,544
Speaker 1: is recorded on.

4
00:00:25,304 --> 00:00:28,104
Speaker 2: From Mamma Mia. Welcome to the Spill, your daily pop

5
00:00:28,144 --> 00:00:31,664
Speaker 2: culture fix. I'm m Burnham and I'm Laura Brudnick. And

6
00:00:31,744 --> 00:00:34,864
Speaker 2: on the show today, there's a lot to unpack about

7
00:00:34,904 --> 00:00:39,104
Speaker 2: everything that's happened following rapper Sean Combe's also known as

8
00:00:39,184 --> 00:00:40,264
Speaker 2: P Diddy's arrest.

9
00:00:40,704 --> 00:00:44,664
Speaker 1: But first, but first, some I guess exciting movie casting

10
00:00:44,704 --> 00:00:46,264
Speaker 1: news to break up what's been a bit of a

11
00:00:46,304 --> 00:00:48,944
Speaker 1: week of bleak news in the celebrity world. And that

12
00:00:49,064 --> 00:00:52,704
Speaker 1: is the fact that one Reese Witherspoon has posted to

13
00:00:52,744 --> 00:00:55,264
Speaker 1: her social account saying that she is opening up the

14
00:00:55,304 --> 00:00:58,744
Speaker 1: casting call for someone to play el Woods in the

15
00:00:58,824 --> 00:01:00,944
Speaker 1: upcoming Legally Blonde prequel.

16
00:01:01,184 --> 00:01:03,584
Speaker 2: So they're not going to go for a celebrity, like

17
00:01:03,624 --> 00:01:04,584
Speaker 2: a well known celebrity.

18
00:01:04,704 --> 00:01:07,544
Speaker 1: Yeah, That's what I thought was quite interesting because, like infamously,

19
00:01:07,744 --> 00:01:10,744
Speaker 1: the story around the casting of Reese with Us for

20
00:01:10,784 --> 00:01:13,464
Speaker 1: the original Legally Blonde movie, like that was a big

21
00:01:13,504 --> 00:01:16,744
Speaker 1: hot ticket in town, so many actresses wanted it. They

22
00:01:16,864 --> 00:01:19,664
Speaker 1: infamously offered it to Christina Applegate, who was the big

23
00:01:19,704 --> 00:01:23,024
Speaker 1: blonde comedy actress, reigning queen of comedy in Hollywood at

24
00:01:23,064 --> 00:01:25,304
Speaker 1: that time. She ended up turning it down because she

25
00:01:25,304 --> 00:01:27,744
Speaker 1: didn't want to be type cast, which sounds silly now,

26
00:01:27,784 --> 00:01:30,544
Speaker 1: but movies can go either way. Reese with a Spoon

27
00:01:30,704 --> 00:01:33,264
Speaker 1: allegedly like really chased down the role and really saw

28
00:01:33,304 --> 00:01:36,024
Speaker 1: it as a great business opportunity, showy business minded gal

29
00:01:36,464 --> 00:01:39,584
Speaker 1: and like Elwood, Yes exactly, she and Elwood's one person.

30
00:01:40,024 --> 00:01:43,184
Speaker 1: And so that obviously really launched her career into like

31
00:01:43,224 --> 00:01:45,864
Speaker 1: a whole different strata spheres like these big comedy movies.

32
00:01:46,304 --> 00:01:48,744
Speaker 1: And when it was announced that Reese with a Spoon

33
00:01:48,744 --> 00:01:51,144
Speaker 1: Whenben she went on stage in her legally blond outfit

34
00:01:51,584 --> 00:01:54,224
Speaker 1: earlier this year to announce the prequel, Yeah, and I

35
00:01:54,264 --> 00:01:56,224
Speaker 1: was like that girl, so she's all in, she's all

36
00:01:56,264 --> 00:01:57,064
Speaker 1: about business.

37
00:01:57,464 --> 00:02:00,584
Speaker 2: I was kind of nervous that because of the whole

38
00:02:00,744 --> 00:02:02,304
Speaker 2: nepotism stuff that's happening around.

39
00:02:02,424 --> 00:02:02,624
Speaker 1: Yeah.

40
00:02:02,624 --> 00:02:04,504
Speaker 2: I thought she was gonna be like Ava, it's for you.

41
00:02:04,704 --> 00:02:06,544
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, her daughter does look exactly like her,

42
00:02:06,664 --> 00:02:09,024
Speaker 1: but I guess she hasn't really done much acting, so

43
00:02:09,304 --> 00:02:11,104
Speaker 1: you know, that would be a big sweet My son

44
00:02:11,184 --> 00:02:16,224
Speaker 1: however has Yes, well he's a musician. Yes, he's got

45
00:02:16,224 --> 00:02:19,664
Speaker 1: another Romeo Beckham. No, he was in an episode of

46
00:02:20,384 --> 00:02:23,184
Speaker 1: Never Have I Ever. Yes, he does a bit of acting,

47
00:02:23,544 --> 00:02:25,384
Speaker 1: so I mean maybe he'll maybe he'll be in this

48
00:02:25,544 --> 00:02:27,744
Speaker 1: prequel film. But what we do know is that Reese

49
00:02:27,744 --> 00:02:29,944
Speaker 1: with Haspoon said they're opening up casting, which I think

50
00:02:29,984 --> 00:02:32,464
Speaker 1: is interesting because like so much is going to hinge

51
00:02:32,664 --> 00:02:36,384
Speaker 1: on finding the right actress for that role. And I

52
00:02:36,424 --> 00:02:38,544
Speaker 1: guess it's like very open minded of her to say, like,

53
00:02:38,864 --> 00:02:40,784
Speaker 1: we're not just going to go through the usual like

54
00:02:41,064 --> 00:02:43,424
Speaker 1: other NEPO babies in Hollywood or people that are coming

55
00:02:43,464 --> 00:02:45,744
Speaker 1: off series. We're going to really open it up and

56
00:02:45,784 --> 00:02:48,064
Speaker 1: see everybody. And like I guess sometimes it's how you

57
00:02:48,064 --> 00:02:50,784
Speaker 1: find the right people for these roles. Like it's very extensive,

58
00:02:50,984 --> 00:02:51,464
Speaker 1: but in my.

59
00:02:51,544 --> 00:02:54,064
Speaker 2: I'm on board. Minnie Kayling does that quite often with

60
00:02:54,104 --> 00:02:56,184
Speaker 2: her and it's like always works out.

61
00:02:56,344 --> 00:02:58,744
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, you want to present an audition tape in

62
00:02:59,624 --> 00:03:03,624
Speaker 1: I would going to be writing it still Apparently yes,

63
00:03:03,624 --> 00:03:04,584
Speaker 1: apparently they're involved.

64
00:03:04,664 --> 00:03:05,504
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm going to audition.

65
00:03:05,744 --> 00:03:08,104
Speaker 1: Okay, well look out fans' audition for Legally Blond to

66
00:03:08,144 --> 00:03:13,304
Speaker 1: the prequel, So even more information has come out about

67
00:03:13,384 --> 00:03:17,704
Speaker 1: the arrest and upcoming trial of musician Sean Combs, also

68
00:03:17,904 --> 00:03:20,464
Speaker 1: known as Puff Daddy, also known as p Diddy, A

69
00:03:20,504 --> 00:03:21,384
Speaker 1: man of many names.

70
00:03:21,504 --> 00:03:23,784
Speaker 2: A lot of years did he he's got them all.

71
00:03:23,784 --> 00:03:25,424
Speaker 1: Exactly, which used to be kind of a fun thing

72
00:03:25,464 --> 00:03:27,664
Speaker 1: to say. But obviously everything that's come out in the

73
00:03:27,744 --> 00:03:30,424
Speaker 1: last well recently, but over the last year or so,

74
00:03:30,584 --> 00:03:32,904
Speaker 1: I think, has really stout any kind of memories we

75
00:03:32,984 --> 00:03:35,584
Speaker 1: have of his height, of his fame days, or his

76
00:03:35,664 --> 00:03:36,544
Speaker 1: music or anything like that.

77
00:03:36,624 --> 00:03:38,104
Speaker 2: Are we sticking to Sean Combs?

78
00:03:38,184 --> 00:03:41,184
Speaker 1: I think so let's call him Shure. Yeah. Yeah, it

79
00:03:41,184 --> 00:03:44,024
Speaker 1: feels weird colim PDD this stage of the game. So

80
00:03:44,424 --> 00:03:47,744
Speaker 1: he was taken into custody in New York on September sixteen,

81
00:03:48,144 --> 00:03:50,984
Speaker 1: following a lot of reports of what was about to

82
00:03:50,984 --> 00:03:54,144
Speaker 1: come out, also following the release of a video that

83
00:03:54,264 --> 00:03:56,624
Speaker 1: came out this year, a really brutal video that made

84
00:03:56,664 --> 00:04:00,584
Speaker 1: its way around the Internet that showed him attacking singer Cassie,

85
00:04:00,624 --> 00:04:03,464
Speaker 1: who was his partner at the time, and that video

86
00:04:03,504 --> 00:04:06,024
Speaker 1: just went everywhere. Cassie's team spoke out about it and

87
00:04:06,104 --> 00:04:08,584
Speaker 1: basically said like, thank you for the support. Unfortunately, the

88
00:04:08,664 --> 00:04:11,904
Speaker 1: Statute of limitations for pressing child around that video had

89
00:04:11,984 --> 00:04:14,544
Speaker 1: already passed, but that was kind of like the big

90
00:04:14,584 --> 00:04:17,864
Speaker 1: thing that Sean Colmbs couldn't turn back from because people

91
00:04:17,984 --> 00:04:20,824
Speaker 1: watched that video and saw with their own eyes the

92
00:04:20,824 --> 00:04:23,264
Speaker 1: brutality of it. And even though he put up that

93
00:04:23,304 --> 00:04:25,624
Speaker 1: you know, you put that Instagram video being like, you know,

94
00:04:25,624 --> 00:04:26,824
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry for what I did in the past.

95
00:04:26,824 --> 00:04:30,024
Speaker 1: I'm a different person now I've done the work. Obviously

96
00:04:30,264 --> 00:04:32,424
Speaker 1: was not enough to turn the court of public opinion

97
00:04:32,504 --> 00:04:35,344
Speaker 1: back in his favor, and so then this arrest happened

98
00:04:35,384 --> 00:04:39,504
Speaker 1: on September sixteen. The next day, a fourteen page document

99
00:04:39,624 --> 00:04:43,264
Speaker 1: came out with a whole range of allegations against Seawan Combe,

100
00:04:43,504 --> 00:04:46,704
Speaker 1: including that he abused, threatened, and coerced women and others

101
00:04:46,704 --> 00:04:49,944
Speaker 1: around him or made public. There were pretty extensive charges

102
00:04:49,944 --> 00:04:52,224
Speaker 1: in there of things he's done. He then went on

103
00:04:52,304 --> 00:04:55,264
Speaker 1: to enter a plea of not guilty against the charges

104
00:04:55,384 --> 00:05:00,504
Speaker 1: of racketeering, conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion,

105
00:05:00,584 --> 00:05:04,504
Speaker 1: and the transportation to engauge in prostitutions. So a real

106
00:05:04,624 --> 00:05:08,824
Speaker 1: raft of very very serious allegations there. He did try

107
00:05:08,904 --> 00:05:11,584
Speaker 1: and post bail on September seventeenth, and I think the

108
00:05:11,624 --> 00:05:13,704
Speaker 1: thinking from his team, reading between the lines of like

109
00:05:13,784 --> 00:05:16,664
Speaker 1: interview they've done and court papers that have come out,

110
00:05:16,664 --> 00:05:18,384
Speaker 1: that they really thought he was going to get bail,

111
00:05:18,504 --> 00:05:21,144
Speaker 1: knowing how famous he is and the resources that he has,

112
00:05:21,784 --> 00:05:24,504
Speaker 1: and I think judging from interviews that his team have

113
00:05:24,624 --> 00:05:27,344
Speaker 1: given about you know, his standing and how famous he is,

114
00:05:27,384 --> 00:05:28,944
Speaker 1: and the fact that he's got you know, family and

115
00:05:29,024 --> 00:05:31,224
Speaker 1: kids and resources, they thought that he was going to

116
00:05:31,264 --> 00:05:33,264
Speaker 1: be able to post bail and sort of return to

117
00:05:33,304 --> 00:05:33,744
Speaker 1: his home.

118
00:05:34,104 --> 00:05:36,824
Speaker 2: I remember reading that it said his bail was like

119
00:05:37,304 --> 00:05:40,624
Speaker 2: fifty million US dollars and it was rejected.

120
00:05:41,064 --> 00:05:43,384
Speaker 1: Yes, they basically said, there is no amount of money

121
00:05:43,424 --> 00:05:46,264
Speaker 1: that's letting you out of here. I'm paraphrasing for the judge.

122
00:05:46,264 --> 00:05:49,304
Speaker 2: I'm like, good, Yeah, good, because what you get bail

123
00:05:49,304 --> 00:05:50,424
Speaker 2: and then you're just like at.

124
00:05:50,264 --> 00:05:53,784
Speaker 1: Home, yes, and your multimillion dollar mansion. Well, I think,

125
00:05:53,824 --> 00:05:55,584
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we kind of you don't get into

126
00:05:55,824 --> 00:05:58,824
Speaker 1: conspiracy theories of why they wouldn't let him, although it's

127
00:05:58,824 --> 00:06:01,144
Speaker 1: pretty clear they thought he was a massive flight risk

128
00:06:01,264 --> 00:06:04,424
Speaker 1: given the resources he has, but also looking at the

129
00:06:04,464 --> 00:06:07,544
Speaker 1: court document and all the different allegations against him, if

130
00:06:07,544 --> 00:06:11,584
Speaker 1: he's convicted on every charge, he faces just a minimum

131
00:06:11,624 --> 00:06:15,464
Speaker 1: of fifteen years in prison, but most likely Yeah, did

132
00:06:15,464 --> 00:06:16,864
Speaker 1: you not listen to the list of charges I just

133
00:06:16,864 --> 00:06:18,024
Speaker 1: turned out it's pretty intense.

134
00:06:18,184 --> 00:06:19,664
Speaker 2: Yeah, but only fifteen years.

135
00:06:19,664 --> 00:06:21,504
Speaker 1: Well with pot well that's if he's convict on them.

136
00:06:21,504 --> 00:06:23,984
Speaker 1: But there's a huge possibility of also a life sentence,

137
00:06:24,424 --> 00:06:28,104
Speaker 1: which is the more likely thing, but also could be

138
00:06:28,224 --> 00:06:31,024
Speaker 1: like kind of at least fifteen years. So they're obviously

139
00:06:31,024 --> 00:06:33,184
Speaker 1: they're thinking like, if this man thinks that he is

140
00:06:33,224 --> 00:06:35,424
Speaker 1: facing a lifetime in prison, would he just leave? That's

141
00:06:35,424 --> 00:06:38,144
Speaker 1: why they've held him in custody. So all of that

142
00:06:38,184 --> 00:06:40,184
Speaker 1: has blown up, and then a lot of images and

143
00:06:40,344 --> 00:06:44,224
Speaker 1: videos information were also released about the items that were

144
00:06:44,264 --> 00:06:47,224
Speaker 1: seized from his home during a raid in March that happened,

145
00:06:47,224 --> 00:06:49,024
Speaker 1: and all that information came out, and I think.

146
00:06:48,904 --> 00:06:51,304
Speaker 2: I saw something about like thousands of bottles of lube

147
00:06:51,304 --> 00:06:52,104
Speaker 2: and baby oil.

148
00:06:52,544 --> 00:06:54,144
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think it was probably quite a

149
00:06:54,184 --> 00:06:56,144
Speaker 1: few things in there. But also that's the one thing

150
00:06:56,184 --> 00:06:58,824
Speaker 1: that a lot of different celebrities have somehow been joking about.

151
00:06:58,944 --> 00:07:01,624
Speaker 1: So fifty Cent put up a social media post saying

152
00:07:01,784 --> 00:07:03,904
Speaker 1: I'm going on the Drew Barrymore Show and I can't

153
00:07:03,944 --> 00:07:05,744
Speaker 1: believe I don't have a thousand bottles of Loube at

154
00:07:05,784 --> 00:07:08,184
Speaker 1: the house. And everyone was like, it feels like a

155
00:07:08,184 --> 00:07:10,304
Speaker 1: weird joke to me, making off the back of Homeland

156
00:07:10,424 --> 00:07:13,104
Speaker 1: Security and the amount of stuff that they seized from

157
00:07:13,184 --> 00:07:15,264
Speaker 1: Ditty's home. And I think that's something that a lot

158
00:07:15,264 --> 00:07:17,864
Speaker 1: of people are waiting for because so many celebrities have

159
00:07:17,904 --> 00:07:19,624
Speaker 1: been in his orbit, A lot of people are waiting

160
00:07:19,664 --> 00:07:23,824
Speaker 1: for different celebrities to weigh in on what's happened. I

161
00:07:23,824 --> 00:07:26,024
Speaker 1: guess they can't come forward and say I know he

162
00:07:26,104 --> 00:07:27,544
Speaker 1: did this, or I know he did that or anything

163
00:07:27,584 --> 00:07:29,584
Speaker 1: like that. But you know, you've had someone like wild

164
00:07:29,584 --> 00:07:32,304
Speaker 1: Bee Goldberg say that it was really extensive and disturbing

165
00:07:32,304 --> 00:07:35,024
Speaker 1: and that we need to pay attention to it. Obviously Kesho,

166
00:07:35,064 --> 00:07:36,944
Speaker 1: who kind of rose to fame with a song about

167
00:07:37,264 --> 00:07:40,064
Speaker 1: what he did in the morning feeling like he did Yes,

168
00:07:40,064 --> 00:07:42,584
Speaker 1: well she's changed it now to wake up for them. Yeah,

169
00:07:42,584 --> 00:07:44,584
Speaker 1: and she put up and after all this information came out,

170
00:07:44,584 --> 00:07:47,464
Speaker 1: she put up a TikTok with those song lyrics coming

171
00:07:47,504 --> 00:07:50,264
Speaker 1: out about it. But the thing that everyone's really wanting,

172
00:07:50,344 --> 00:07:52,544
Speaker 1: I guess more information on in wanting more celebrities to

173
00:07:52,584 --> 00:07:54,664
Speaker 1: come out and talk about even if they're not aware

174
00:07:54,704 --> 00:07:57,744
Speaker 1: of the extent of some of the allegations like sex

175
00:07:57,784 --> 00:07:59,784
Speaker 1: trafficking and all those things that you would assume would

176
00:07:59,824 --> 00:08:02,464
Speaker 1: be happening well behind the scenes of his famous friends.

177
00:08:02,944 --> 00:08:05,944
Speaker 1: Is that for a really long time, Sean Combs was

178
00:08:06,024 --> 00:08:10,264
Speaker 1: known for these very infamous wild Hollywood parties, these white parties,

179
00:08:10,584 --> 00:08:13,064
Speaker 1: parties he would throw in his own home in La

180
00:08:13,264 --> 00:08:15,184
Speaker 1: And for a long time that was real kind of

181
00:08:15,264 --> 00:08:17,904
Speaker 1: bad juanna with celebrities about being invited to these parties,

182
00:08:18,224 --> 00:08:21,344
Speaker 1: getting to be in the inner circle. They were very infamous.

183
00:08:21,384 --> 00:08:23,944
Speaker 1: There were photos taken outside with like a press line,

184
00:08:23,944 --> 00:08:26,864
Speaker 1: but like very little information about what happened inside. But

185
00:08:26,984 --> 00:08:29,984
Speaker 1: since these allegations have come out, and since some information

186
00:08:30,104 --> 00:08:32,784
Speaker 1: the documents talk about what has happened at some of

187
00:08:32,824 --> 00:08:36,144
Speaker 1: his parties, people are really deciding to uncover more about

188
00:08:36,304 --> 00:08:38,704
Speaker 1: these very infamous celebrity get togethers.

189
00:08:40,704 --> 00:08:43,984
Speaker 2: As someone who isn't fully across all the allegations against

190
00:08:44,064 --> 00:08:46,904
Speaker 2: him and his arrest, the one thing that I see everywhere,

191
00:08:46,944 --> 00:08:51,464
Speaker 2: which I'm sure everyone's seeing, are these huge group shots

192
00:08:51,504 --> 00:08:56,184
Speaker 2: of these A list celebrities at Sewan Comb's parties. He

193
00:08:56,344 --> 00:08:58,904
Speaker 2: called them white parties. But then I also read that

194
00:08:59,264 --> 00:09:02,584
Speaker 2: he also called them freak off parties, where it's been

195
00:09:02,624 --> 00:09:06,304
Speaker 2: alleged that he would direct orgies and kind of masturbate

196
00:09:06,344 --> 00:09:06,704
Speaker 2: to them.

197
00:09:06,864 --> 00:09:08,144
Speaker 1: I think there's a bit of a line on the

198
00:09:08,144 --> 00:09:10,344
Speaker 1: stand between these two gatherings. I think the white part

199
00:09:10,384 --> 00:09:13,104
Speaker 1: party was one that was held in the Hamptons and

200
00:09:13,344 --> 00:09:16,264
Speaker 1: it ran from nineteen ninety eight through to two thousand

201
00:09:16,304 --> 00:09:19,104
Speaker 1: and nine. And the idea of everyone wearing white is

202
00:09:19,104 --> 00:09:20,744
Speaker 1: that they were all on the same level. And he

203
00:09:20,784 --> 00:09:23,344
Speaker 1: also did interviews where people would say to him, do

204
00:09:23,424 --> 00:09:25,824
Speaker 1: you think that you're like a modern day Gatsby in

205
00:09:25,904 --> 00:09:28,104
Speaker 1: terms of like being the center of all these parties

206
00:09:28,144 --> 00:09:30,584
Speaker 1: and throwing these opulent events, And he was like, I'm

207
00:09:30,664 --> 00:09:33,864
Speaker 1: not trying to be Gatsby. I am Gatsby and so.

208
00:09:34,024 --> 00:09:36,224
Speaker 1: And his reasoning too, is that he invited like a

209
00:09:36,224 --> 00:09:38,104
Speaker 1: lot of friends and people that he grew up with,

210
00:09:38,144 --> 00:09:40,704
Speaker 1: so look just like I guess quote unquote ordinary people,

211
00:09:41,024 --> 00:09:43,384
Speaker 1: people who weren't involved in the celebrity world. And then

212
00:09:43,464 --> 00:09:45,824
Speaker 1: he would invite all of these celebrities. And his idea

213
00:09:45,944 --> 00:09:48,144
Speaker 1: was like, you have all these people from different worlds

214
00:09:48,144 --> 00:09:50,664
Speaker 1: coming together for this elaborate party that would sometimes go

215
00:09:50,744 --> 00:09:53,144
Speaker 1: for days. So they were always talked about about these

216
00:09:53,224 --> 00:09:54,904
Speaker 1: huge things. And you would have celebrities like when he

217
00:09:54,904 --> 00:09:56,864
Speaker 1: and Jennifhi Lopez were together, she would kind of co

218
00:09:56,944 --> 00:09:59,824
Speaker 1: host them. You would have like Sarah Jessica Parker would attend,

219
00:09:59,984 --> 00:10:03,184
Speaker 1: Leonardo DiCaprio, pretty much any celebrity names a Shuldin Kutcha, which

220
00:10:03,184 --> 00:10:04,744
Speaker 1: we'll get to because he's really been thrown under the

221
00:10:04,784 --> 00:10:07,784
Speaker 1: bus with this, and even like the Kardashians have spoken

222
00:10:07,824 --> 00:10:10,544
Speaker 1: quite extensively about attending these parties.

223
00:10:10,384 --> 00:10:14,024
Speaker 2: Yeah, so who was with you this weekend? A bunch

224
00:10:14,024 --> 00:10:21,784
Speaker 2: of my friends, Diddy, Quincy, Justin Bieber so Far Montana.

225
00:10:22,904 --> 00:10:26,424
Speaker 2: You know half the people you're naming. No, she didn't

226
00:10:26,424 --> 00:10:26,984
Speaker 2: go to bed.

227
00:10:28,344 --> 00:10:30,904
Speaker 1: I opened a bed yet you haven't. I want to

228
00:10:30,904 --> 00:10:33,064
Speaker 1: be Chloe when I grew up, or I got on.

229
00:10:33,024 --> 00:10:37,704
Speaker 2: A plane at five thirty am called this party.

230
00:10:38,384 --> 00:10:40,264
Speaker 1: I think half the people there were butt naked.

231
00:10:40,544 --> 00:10:41,384
Speaker 2: You would have loved it.

232
00:10:42,064 --> 00:10:44,544
Speaker 1: So that clip has started to go viral now after

233
00:10:44,584 --> 00:10:48,384
Speaker 1: it resurfaced, and it shows Chloe Kardashian talking about attending

234
00:10:48,624 --> 00:10:51,144
Speaker 1: Seawan Comb's parties. I think they even did an interview

235
00:10:51,184 --> 00:10:54,464
Speaker 1: together at some stage where they were talking about how

236
00:10:54,464 --> 00:10:57,144
Speaker 1: wild his parties were. So everyone's kind of looking towards

237
00:10:57,224 --> 00:11:00,504
Speaker 1: them now since that clip has resurfaced. So the parties

238
00:11:00,544 --> 00:11:02,904
Speaker 1: then stopped after two thousand and nine, and Shawn Cromes

239
00:11:02,904 --> 00:11:05,304
Speaker 1: gave a few different interviews at the time and were

240
00:11:05,344 --> 00:11:07,944
Speaker 1: saying that basically he wasn't allowed to have permits. People

241
00:11:08,024 --> 00:11:10,024
Speaker 1: in the area where he was holding the parties were

242
00:11:10,104 --> 00:11:14,184
Speaker 1: very against them. And then he infamously said this quote,

243
00:11:14,184 --> 00:11:18,064
Speaker 1: which is also really resurfaced given everything has happened. He said,

244
00:11:18,144 --> 00:11:19,824
Speaker 1: you're going to hear about my parties. They're going to

245
00:11:19,824 --> 00:11:22,264
Speaker 1: be shutting them down. They'd probably be arresting me doing

246
00:11:22,304 --> 00:11:24,824
Speaker 1: all types of crazy things just because we want to

247
00:11:24,864 --> 00:11:27,584
Speaker 1: have a good time. Whenever you bring up different elements

248
00:11:27,584 --> 00:11:30,864
Speaker 1: into people's entertainments, you have things that broaden horizons and

249
00:11:30,864 --> 00:11:33,544
Speaker 1: people get intimidated. Oh my god.

250
00:11:33,624 --> 00:11:36,104
Speaker 2: So he kind of knew, like first, he knew what

251
00:11:36,144 --> 00:11:38,504
Speaker 2: he was doing was wrong, and he kind of predicted

252
00:11:38,544 --> 00:11:39,304
Speaker 2: what was going to happen.

253
00:11:39,384 --> 00:11:41,064
Speaker 1: Well, I think there's a few different things. I think

254
00:11:41,064 --> 00:11:43,344
Speaker 1: because he's saying that in these national papers, what he

255
00:11:43,384 --> 00:11:44,984
Speaker 1: was alluding to, and I think what he wanted people

256
00:11:44,984 --> 00:11:46,544
Speaker 1: to be across is more so that he was throwing

257
00:11:46,624 --> 00:11:49,384
Speaker 1: these big, elaborate parties and people were complaining about having

258
00:11:49,384 --> 00:11:52,224
Speaker 1: a thousand people attend all the noise or having permits

259
00:11:52,264 --> 00:11:54,104
Speaker 1: for because lunch of a thousand people at a party,

260
00:11:54,104 --> 00:11:55,664
Speaker 1: that's you know, you need to have all these different

261
00:11:56,264 --> 00:11:58,984
Speaker 1: allowances and permits and things. So I don't think he

262
00:11:58,984 --> 00:12:00,464
Speaker 1: was alluding to the stuff that was going He was

263
00:12:00,464 --> 00:12:02,304
Speaker 1: trying to make them seem like these kind of off

264
00:12:02,344 --> 00:12:04,664
Speaker 1: the hook events where people were just having so much

265
00:12:04,664 --> 00:12:07,504
Speaker 1: fun that other people couldn't understand it. But what we're

266
00:12:07,504 --> 00:12:10,344
Speaker 1: seeing now in the court papers is that there's all

267
00:12:10,344 --> 00:12:13,904
Speaker 1: all these allegations that he would have these things called

268
00:12:14,144 --> 00:12:16,784
Speaker 1: freak cough parties what you're talking about before. And I

269
00:12:16,824 --> 00:12:19,584
Speaker 1: think these are very separate to the front facing white

270
00:12:19,624 --> 00:12:21,504
Speaker 1: parties where all the slubs are walking around in their

271
00:12:21,544 --> 00:12:22,384
Speaker 1: white outfits and beings.

272
00:12:22,384 --> 00:12:24,784
Speaker 2: So were these freak off parties happening behind the scenes

273
00:12:24,784 --> 00:12:27,304
Speaker 2: of the white parties or was it a separate event altogether.

274
00:12:27,424 --> 00:12:29,544
Speaker 1: It's hard to say because they haven't exactly named them

275
00:12:29,664 --> 00:12:31,784
Speaker 1: in terms of like, did this like flow on directly

276
00:12:31,824 --> 00:12:33,864
Speaker 1: from the white parties? I mean potentially because they would

277
00:12:33,904 --> 00:12:35,904
Speaker 1: go for days. But I couldn't see anything in the

278
00:12:35,904 --> 00:12:37,904
Speaker 1: court documents that have been made public that say that

279
00:12:37,944 --> 00:12:40,304
Speaker 1: they were kind of like specifically linked on the same

280
00:12:40,344 --> 00:12:42,704
Speaker 1: day or anything. What they have said, and what like

281
00:12:42,744 --> 00:12:44,864
Speaker 1: a few different people have come forward and said, is

282
00:12:44,904 --> 00:12:49,064
Speaker 1: that these free Cough parties, it's alleged that Sean Combs

283
00:12:49,104 --> 00:12:52,064
Speaker 1: forced women to take part in sex performances at these

284
00:12:52,104 --> 00:12:55,344
Speaker 1: parties that he would often film. So basically in the

285
00:12:55,384 --> 00:12:58,384
Speaker 1: court papers, a witness has said Free Coffs were elaborate

286
00:12:58,424 --> 00:13:03,384
Speaker 1: and produced sex performances that Shawn Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during,

287
00:13:03,544 --> 00:13:07,864
Speaker 1: and also often electronically recorded. And then a witness has

288
00:13:07,944 --> 00:13:11,264
Speaker 1: said that really weird shit started to have and there

289
00:13:11,264 --> 00:13:14,144
Speaker 1: were celebrity guys fucking each other. There were back bedrooms.

290
00:13:14,184 --> 00:13:16,824
Speaker 1: It was like being an inner sanctum. You'd see two

291
00:13:16,944 --> 00:13:19,824
Speaker 1: people you would not think and they'd be hooking up rappers,

292
00:13:19,904 --> 00:13:23,104
Speaker 1: famous people. And that's what shocked me. And so that

293
00:13:23,144 --> 00:13:25,824
Speaker 1: information has come out. Obviously we don't have like a

294
00:13:25,864 --> 00:13:28,104
Speaker 1: list of names or anything like that, but it's just

295
00:13:28,144 --> 00:13:30,664
Speaker 1: alleged that a lot of what has been said in

296
00:13:30,704 --> 00:13:32,664
Speaker 1: the public happened at these parties.

297
00:13:32,944 --> 00:13:35,904
Speaker 2: So and the way that quote like saying celebrity guys,

298
00:13:35,984 --> 00:13:39,864
Speaker 2: it's kind of clear that even if it wasn't happening

299
00:13:40,144 --> 00:13:43,104
Speaker 2: at the actual white parties, it was clearly like a

300
00:13:43,184 --> 00:13:45,584
Speaker 2: group of celebrities that were still very close to him.

301
00:13:45,864 --> 00:13:48,984
Speaker 2: Yes that like all kept it between each other. But

302
00:13:49,064 --> 00:13:52,184
Speaker 2: the photos are so interesting because it does kind of

303
00:13:52,224 --> 00:13:54,784
Speaker 2: shed a bad light on all the celebrities who just

304
00:13:55,584 --> 00:13:58,384
Speaker 2: might have just attended the party but didn't actually partake

305
00:13:58,464 --> 00:14:00,624
Speaker 2: and like or have knowledge of what was going on.

306
00:14:01,304 --> 00:14:05,664
Speaker 2: But it's interesting with the Kardashian clip as well as

307
00:14:05,744 --> 00:14:08,664
Speaker 2: what celebrities have been saying and even like with some

308
00:14:08,744 --> 00:14:11,984
Speaker 2: rappers like Eminem like have talked about this through their

309
00:14:12,024 --> 00:14:14,504
Speaker 2: songs that they knew but they didn't know.

310
00:14:15,184 --> 00:14:16,984
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, isn't that always a thing that comes out

311
00:14:17,024 --> 00:14:19,064
Speaker 1: with a lot of these high profile men, especially when

312
00:14:19,064 --> 00:14:21,024
Speaker 1: there's this huge reckoning in Hollywood. It was the same,

313
00:14:21,104 --> 00:14:23,544
Speaker 1: like a very similar story with someone like Harvey Weinstein

314
00:14:23,584 --> 00:14:25,784
Speaker 1: when all those allegations came out. So many people came

315
00:14:25,784 --> 00:14:28,544
Speaker 1: out and said they absolutely had no idea, or they

316
00:14:28,664 --> 00:14:30,584
Speaker 1: kind of knew half of it, or they'd heard it

317
00:14:30,624 --> 00:14:32,304
Speaker 1: but they hadn't seen it. It's one of those things where,

318
00:14:32,304 --> 00:14:34,544
Speaker 1: like I think people don't want to speak publicly because

319
00:14:34,944 --> 00:14:38,024
Speaker 1: they're so worried about being pulled into it and having

320
00:14:38,024 --> 00:14:40,144
Speaker 1: their own partner it put forward. But it's one of

321
00:14:40,184 --> 00:14:42,184
Speaker 1: those things where people hear things, but they're kind of

322
00:14:42,224 --> 00:14:43,624
Speaker 1: like I just don't want to know, Like I'll keep

323
00:14:43,624 --> 00:14:45,224
Speaker 1: my head down, like bury my head in the sand

324
00:14:45,264 --> 00:14:48,064
Speaker 1: and not get into it. But now as this kind

325
00:14:48,104 --> 00:14:50,184
Speaker 1: of list of celebrities who were friends with him at

326
00:14:50,184 --> 00:14:52,264
Speaker 1: the time comes out, a lot of them have either

327
00:14:52,304 --> 00:14:54,944
Speaker 1: started to react and say like I had nothing to

328
00:14:54,984 --> 00:14:58,064
Speaker 1: do with that, or sort of issue press releases through

329
00:14:58,104 --> 00:15:00,424
Speaker 1: their team from third parties. And that's a little bit

330
00:15:00,464 --> 00:15:02,544
Speaker 1: what we're seeing now with Ashton Kutcher. So I don't

331
00:15:02,544 --> 00:15:04,264
Speaker 1: know if you've seen that his name has been in

332
00:15:04,264 --> 00:15:07,824
Speaker 1: the last couple of days really wrapped up with Sean Colmbs.

333
00:15:07,864 --> 00:15:10,064
Speaker 2: I couldn't figure out why. So what I found was

334
00:15:10,064 --> 00:15:13,864
Speaker 2: like originally Shawn Comb's parties was in his mansion in

335
00:15:13,904 --> 00:15:17,384
Speaker 2: the Hamptons, and then he moved them over to Beverly

336
00:15:17,464 --> 00:15:20,184
Speaker 2: Hills when he moved to Beverly Hills, and that's where

337
00:15:20,344 --> 00:15:22,704
Speaker 2: like people who lived in the area, like Ashton Kutcher,

338
00:15:22,824 --> 00:15:25,704
Speaker 2: Russell Brand started attending. But he did co host one

339
00:15:25,704 --> 00:15:27,864
Speaker 2: of the white parties with Ashton Kutcher.

340
00:15:28,104 --> 00:15:30,904
Speaker 1: Yes. And so this is another clip that's been resurfaced

341
00:15:30,904 --> 00:15:32,824
Speaker 1: this week, and he's starting to go viral, kind of

342
00:15:32,864 --> 00:15:36,384
Speaker 1: like Kalie Kardashian mentioning on a clip of the Kardashians

343
00:15:36,664 --> 00:15:39,104
Speaker 1: so many years ago that she was there. This clip

344
00:15:39,184 --> 00:15:41,744
Speaker 1: has come up and it's a twenty nineteen appearance that

345
00:15:41,824 --> 00:15:45,224
Speaker 1: Ashton Kutcher did on Hot Ones and he was asked

346
00:15:45,224 --> 00:15:48,864
Speaker 1: if he had any funny stories about attending Shawn Comb's parties,

347
00:15:49,344 --> 00:15:52,464
Speaker 1: and he says, I've got a lot. I can't tell you. Oh,

348
00:15:52,504 --> 00:15:55,544
Speaker 1: I can't tell that one either. I'm actually cycling through them.

349
00:15:55,544 --> 00:15:56,864
Speaker 1: So he's like in his head, he's like trying to

350
00:15:56,864 --> 00:16:00,944
Speaker 1: think like cycling through them, and he goes Diddy party stories. Man,

351
00:16:01,184 --> 00:16:03,064
Speaker 1: that was some weird memory lane thing.

352
00:16:03,344 --> 00:16:06,424
Speaker 2: Wow, Okay, I've got a lot I can't tell. So

353
00:16:09,424 --> 00:16:13,104
Speaker 2: I can't tell that I like actually cycling through them.

354
00:16:13,824 --> 00:16:16,144
Speaker 1: And so that came out, It went everywhere, and there

355
00:16:16,184 --> 00:16:18,624
Speaker 1: started to be all of these rumblings and allegations that

356
00:16:18,704 --> 00:16:21,784
Speaker 1: Ashton Kutcher again just allegation. To this point, I've seen

357
00:16:21,784 --> 00:16:24,144
Speaker 1: no court documents or anything to back this up. At

358
00:16:24,144 --> 00:16:26,984
Speaker 1: this stage, there came all these like different reports that

359
00:16:26,984 --> 00:16:30,024
Speaker 1: Ashton Kutcher was somehow involved who was panicking about his involvement,

360
00:16:30,424 --> 00:16:32,184
Speaker 1: and this is also a bit of a wild one,

361
00:16:32,224 --> 00:16:34,784
Speaker 1: which again we don't know. All of these allegations came out,

362
00:16:34,864 --> 00:16:38,664
Speaker 1: these reports that Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis were breaking

363
00:16:38,784 --> 00:16:40,664
Speaker 1: up and she had left him and taken the kids

364
00:16:40,704 --> 00:16:43,584
Speaker 1: because of these allegations because they're about to blow up,

365
00:16:44,024 --> 00:16:45,624
Speaker 1: which I kind of read that and I was like,

366
00:16:45,704 --> 00:16:47,824
Speaker 1: you just can't look into any truth and something like

367
00:16:47,864 --> 00:16:50,304
Speaker 1: that when it's all these blind items and reports. But

368
00:16:50,384 --> 00:16:52,904
Speaker 1: what I thought was interesting is that today People Magazine

369
00:16:53,304 --> 00:16:56,704
Speaker 1: have run a story saying that's false from a source,

370
00:16:56,744 --> 00:16:59,784
Speaker 1: and as we always say, People Magazine has obviously had

371
00:16:59,784 --> 00:17:03,744
Speaker 1: that information come from Ashton and Miller's team, and they

372
00:17:03,744 --> 00:17:05,824
Speaker 1: don't want to comment on directly because once they comment

373
00:17:05,904 --> 00:17:09,584
Speaker 1: on directly, the headlines blot with Ashton comments on Sean

374
00:17:09,624 --> 00:17:13,504
Speaker 1: Comb's arrest, Mila comment on divorce, and then it's open

375
00:17:13,504 --> 00:17:16,864
Speaker 1: slather for them to be asked about this in the future.

376
00:17:16,984 --> 00:17:20,264
Speaker 1: So instead it appears that they've told People Magazine like

377
00:17:20,304 --> 00:17:22,264
Speaker 1: sent them a statement, and People's run that to cind

378
00:17:22,264 --> 00:17:24,624
Speaker 1: and stop the story and the statement is this is

379
00:17:24,664 --> 00:17:28,584
Speaker 1: absolutely ridiculous and false. Ashon has no involvement in any

380
00:17:28,584 --> 00:17:30,944
Speaker 1: of this. He doesn't belong in the conversation about Diddy.

381
00:17:31,224 --> 00:17:34,024
Speaker 1: Ashon has only seen Didty a handful of times at

382
00:17:34,064 --> 00:17:37,144
Speaker 1: social and business events, all of which have been documented

383
00:17:37,144 --> 00:17:40,024
Speaker 1: by the media. Just left it to that.

384
00:17:39,504 --> 00:17:42,504
Speaker 2: That's not true though, because there are photos of him

385
00:17:42,624 --> 00:17:43,744
Speaker 2: at the parties.

386
00:17:44,064 --> 00:17:45,784
Speaker 1: Yes, well, I think that's is that what they mean

387
00:17:45,824 --> 00:17:47,664
Speaker 1: as a social event? Yeah, yeah, that's what he's saying.

388
00:17:47,664 --> 00:17:49,944
Speaker 1: He's like at a handful of business and social events,

389
00:17:49,944 --> 00:17:52,264
Speaker 1: social events being the party, and he's saying that every

390
00:17:52,264 --> 00:17:54,824
Speaker 1: time we've been together, there's photos of it. So if

391
00:17:54,824 --> 00:17:57,024
Speaker 1: you can only find ten photos, we've only been together

392
00:17:57,064 --> 00:17:57,704
Speaker 1: ten times.

393
00:17:57,984 --> 00:18:00,224
Speaker 2: But he'd kind of dug himself in a hole with

394
00:18:00,304 --> 00:18:02,824
Speaker 2: that Hot Ones interview by kind of admitting that, no,

395
00:18:02,904 --> 00:18:04,824
Speaker 2: he's seen some stuff and he can't talk about it.

396
00:18:04,904 --> 00:18:07,344
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but I think all celebrities have really said

397
00:18:07,344 --> 00:18:09,704
Speaker 1: that about Seawan Colmes's party. So it's one of those

398
00:18:09,744 --> 00:18:11,384
Speaker 1: things where like it could go either way. Like I'm

399
00:18:11,424 --> 00:18:13,584
Speaker 1: not saying he is involved and I'm not saying he's not,

400
00:18:13,624 --> 00:18:16,184
Speaker 1: because we just don't have that information, But I think

401
00:18:16,264 --> 00:18:19,464
Speaker 1: it was a very like common and very like accepted

402
00:18:19,464 --> 00:18:22,944
Speaker 1: thing that everyone would talk about these wild parties in interviews.

403
00:18:22,984 --> 00:18:25,624
Speaker 1: And obviously now we're seeing that in a different light

404
00:18:25,744 --> 00:18:29,144
Speaker 1: given the circumstances. But back then they were just seen

405
00:18:29,184 --> 00:18:32,184
Speaker 1: as these wild celebrity parties. Everyone will cool clothes and

406
00:18:32,504 --> 00:18:34,664
Speaker 1: hung out together, and there's a million celebrity parties like

407
00:18:34,664 --> 00:18:36,664
Speaker 1: that happening every year. So like, I can understand why

408
00:18:36,704 --> 00:18:38,504
Speaker 1: they weren't on their guard back then about it.

409
00:18:38,784 --> 00:18:40,824
Speaker 2: I think they're just like in such a bad light

410
00:18:40,904 --> 00:18:44,704
Speaker 2: right now, especially after the Danny Masterson stuff, it feels

411
00:18:45,184 --> 00:18:47,904
Speaker 2: more believable that he was there and was aware of

412
00:18:47,944 --> 00:18:50,744
Speaker 2: it because of like how he handled that situation.

413
00:18:51,304 --> 00:18:52,984
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we just don't know. I mean, the thing

414
00:18:52,984 --> 00:18:54,544
Speaker 1: I think to remember here is like you can only

415
00:18:54,584 --> 00:18:56,264
Speaker 1: go off with some of the court documents, but also

416
00:18:56,664 --> 00:19:00,264
Speaker 1: there would be so much information about the behind the

417
00:19:00,304 --> 00:19:03,064
Speaker 1: scenes of these parties, these events, and just celebrity lives

418
00:19:03,064 --> 00:19:05,584
Speaker 1: in general that we would have no information about. It's

419
00:19:05,664 --> 00:19:08,064
Speaker 1: just like, I think so much of it comes with

420
00:19:08,184 --> 00:19:10,224
Speaker 1: having to keep bits of their lives hidden, and they

421
00:19:10,224 --> 00:19:12,824
Speaker 1: have the resources to do that, and so I guess

422
00:19:12,864 --> 00:19:14,584
Speaker 1: at this point in time, we're just waiting for the

423
00:19:14,664 --> 00:19:16,944
Speaker 1: trial to start and waiting for that information to come

424
00:19:16,944 --> 00:19:19,944
Speaker 1: out through the courts, and obviously just really feeling for

425
00:19:19,984 --> 00:19:22,184
Speaker 1: all of the women in particular who are wrapped up

426
00:19:22,184 --> 00:19:24,184
Speaker 1: in this, who are the ones who have made the

427
00:19:24,264 --> 00:19:27,984
Speaker 1: complaints about that huge list of allegations that have been

428
00:19:27,984 --> 00:19:30,064
Speaker 1: made against him, and I'm sure they're all kind of

429
00:19:30,104 --> 00:19:32,264
Speaker 1: hoping that this will go through the court and I'll

430
00:19:32,264 --> 00:19:33,504
Speaker 1: get the outcome they're looking for.

431
00:19:33,904 --> 00:19:36,144
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for listening to the Spill today.

432

433
