<v Speaker 1>they already did. I'm not making new people do these.

<v Speaker 2>Days called Donkey of the day, and it really caught

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:11.600
<v Speaker 2>me off guard.

0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Damn Charlamagne, who got the donkey of the day today?

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Wow, donkey today for Monday, May twentieth goals to Shawn Comebs.

0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Not just Sean comes.

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.159
<v Speaker 2>But the bad boy is a staff record label and

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:26.479
<v Speaker 2>mother e f and crew, because y'all been enabling this

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 2>kind of behavior for a long time, and clearly after

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:32.600
<v Speaker 2>watching this apology video and I put apology in the

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:33.839
<v Speaker 2>air quotes, y'all.

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Are still enabling him. But let's start from the beginning.

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:39.560
<v Speaker 2>On Friday afternoon, the video from twenty sixteen was released

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:42.120
<v Speaker 2>to CNN and the the video is show Sean Combs

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 2>viciously attacking and beating his then girlfriend Cassie Venturrea.

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to ABC News for the report police tonight.

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 3>This disturbing new surveillance video, obtained exclusively by CNN, appears

0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 3>to show Sean Diddy Combs attacking his then girlfriend Cassie Ventura,

0:00:56.920 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 3>throwing her to the ground in a hotel elevator bank

0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 3>and then kicking her twice. He then tries to drag

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 3>her away. The incident appears to support Ventura's claims long

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 3>denied by Combs from a now settled lawsuit filed last November,

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 3>stating around March twenty sixteen, at the Intercontinental Hotel in

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 3>Century City, Los Angeles, mister Combs became extremely intoxicated and

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 3>punched Miss Ventura in the face, giving her a black eye,

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 3>adding that when she tried to leave the hotel room,

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 3>Combs followed her into the hallway of the hotel while

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 3>yelling at her. He grabbed at her and then took

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.399
<v Speaker 3>glass vases in the hallway and threw them at her,

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 3>causing glass to crash around them as she ran to

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.759
<v Speaker 3>the elevator to escape. At the time of the lawsuit,

0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 3>an attorney for Combs stating, mister Combs vehemently denies these

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 3>offensive and outrageous allegations. Ventura and Combs settled for an

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 3>undisclosed amount. Today, an attorney for Ventura responding to the

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 3>surveillance video, stating, the gut wrenching video has only further

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 3>confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of mister Combs.

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 2>When I saw that video, I was disgusted and disappointed,

0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 2>like like did he need his ass beat? Like I

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.480
<v Speaker 2>wish Cassie would had a gun on her and would

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 2>have shot him right there on the spot. That's my

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 2>initial reaction because that's how I always feel when I

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 2>see situations like this.

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 1>And then there's just like this weird sense of grief

0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>because it is Diddy, right. Diddy is a hip hop hero.

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 2>He's an ordinary person who did extraordinary things to sit

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 2>here and act like the man wasn't a huge part

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 2>of our upbringing.

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Is a damn lie.

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.359
<v Speaker 2>So there's this weird sense of grief, like another one

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 2>of our heroes has ruined their legacy and it's their

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.519
<v Speaker 2>own fault because the poor choices a lot.

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Of different emotions.

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 2>But then yesterday Sean Colns decided to apologize for what

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:32.959
<v Speaker 2>we saw in that video.

0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:33.680
<v Speaker 1>Can we listen?

0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 4>It's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 4>your life.

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you gotta do that. I was fucked up.

0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I hit rock bottom, but I make no

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:47.880
<v Speaker 4>excuses my behavior on that video. It's inexcusable. I take

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 4>full responsibility for my actions in that video.

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm disgusted. I was disgusted then when I did it.

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm disgusting now and.

0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:57.359
<v Speaker 4>When and I saw that professional help kind of going

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 4>to therapy, going to rehab, had asked, thank God for

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 4>his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry, but I'm committed

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 4>to be a better man eagent every day. I'm not

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:06.639
<v Speaker 4>asking for forgiveness.

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm truly sorry now.

0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:12.079
<v Speaker 2>When I first watched that video, I said to myself, Negro, please, okay,

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:12.919
<v Speaker 2>he's not sorry.

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>He's sorry that video leaked, and he's sorry he got caught. See.

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Up until that video being released, Sean Colmes was denying everything.

0:03:19.600 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Shawn Coles put out a press release. They put out

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:23.920
<v Speaker 2>a press release him and his team that said, for

0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of weeks, I've sat silently and watched

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.760
<v Speaker 2>people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation, and

0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:34.160
<v Speaker 2>my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals.

0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Looking for a quick payday.

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Let me be absolutely clear, I did not do any

0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 2>of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for

0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 2>my name, my family, and for the truth. His lawyer

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 2>has been streaming since all these allegations have come out

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 2>that this is the witch hunt. Diddy is innocent and

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 2>these people are looking for a quick payday. You let

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 2>your son put out that weak ass record, pick a

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 2>side takting the FBI, basically telling people keep that same

0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 2>energy when the smoke clears, Diddy, you posted on your

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 2>page Time tells all.

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.000
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it does, sir, and it has told us that

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>you are a liar.

0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, this is what I mean when I say people

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.520
<v Speaker 2>wake up every day and just volunteer lies. Diddy, how

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 2>are we supposed to believe anything that comes out of

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 2>your mouth? And furthermore, why should we not believe the

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.400
<v Speaker 2>rumors of things going in your mouth? When you out

0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:20.520
<v Speaker 2>here volunteering bold face lies, you would still be.

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Lying to us right now if it was no video.

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.479
<v Speaker 2>You didn't even apologize to Castie in the video, nor

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 2>did you apologize for lying that.

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:32.159
<v Speaker 1>You didn't do what you knew you was on tape doing.

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:32.680
<v Speaker 4>So.

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Who was this apology for, I'll tell you who. It

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>was for?

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Diddy's ego, Diddy's brand. Diddy and his handlers are looking

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.559
<v Speaker 2>at this all wrong. You're trying to salvage his professional career.

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Let me be the first to tell you that's a rap. Okay,

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.840
<v Speaker 2>you can't take away nothing did he has done professionally,

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>those records, staying you can't rewrite history. But diddo, but Diddy,

0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 2>your model was forever. Can't stop, won't stop. It's time

0:04:56.800 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 2>to stop, okay, because it has stopped, all right. There's

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 2>nothing else you to do other than deal with the

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 2>consequences of your actions. I don't even know what all

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 2>the actions are, but you do. You can't run from yourself.

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 2>You was trying to the last few weeks to run

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 2>from yourself. Hell, you knew this type existed since twenty sixteen,

0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 2>so you've actually been running from yourself for years. I

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>don't care how many times you change your name. I

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 2>don't care how many times you tell us you change

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 2>in your frequency. The best apology in life will always

0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:22.600
<v Speaker 2>be changed behavior.

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>You can't tell us your behavior is changed.

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Went up until yesterday, you were still willing to lie

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.719
<v Speaker 2>to the people about who you are and what you

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.320
<v Speaker 2>have done. Diddy shouldn't be worried about the general public

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 2>right now. In fact, you shouldn't worry about the general

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 2>public ever again, because that's over.

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.240
<v Speaker 1>The trust is gone. Thought. I told you that we

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:42.799
<v Speaker 1>won't stop.

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 2>You must have been talking about lying to yourself, because

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.359
<v Speaker 2>that's the only reason you would still keep any of

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.560
<v Speaker 2>this going. What's the saying Trust takes years to build,

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 2>seconds to break, and forever to repair. Diddy you fifty four, Okay,

0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:57.279
<v Speaker 2>you don't have forever. So while you're still here, you

0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.640
<v Speaker 2>need to be focusing on repairing your soul. You need

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>to be full focusing on whatever damage you have caused

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 2>your lineage, your family, and other people. If you and

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 2>your team are still sitting around trying to figure out

0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.000
<v Speaker 2>how to keep the business going, if you're sitting around

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 2>worrying about your professional life more than your personal life,

0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>then you just need to do us all the biggest

0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.920
<v Speaker 2>favor and turn yourself in for who knows whatever other

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 2>crimes you have committed that we don't know about, because

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 2>you can't play with God. Okay, you can lie to

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.159
<v Speaker 2>your family, you can lie to the general public, but

0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:28.600
<v Speaker 2>you can lie to God and you can't lie to yourself.

0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.360
<v Speaker 2>And you know better. What happens when you know better

0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:34.440
<v Speaker 2>but still don't choose better. You experiencing that right now, Sean.

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.039
<v Speaker 2>You was forty six in that video that we saw.

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 2>You knew better, but you chose not to do better,

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 2>and guess what, you can't run from yourself, Sean Colmes,

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 2>You been running from yourself for a long time. That's

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 2>why you keep changing your name. The drugs, the money,

0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.800
<v Speaker 2>the liquor, the women, the NonStop party. That's all you

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 2>running from yourself. But now all that has come to

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:57.040
<v Speaker 2>an end. And if it hasn't it better? Okay, you

0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 2>can't just keep changing the top layer. You gotta do

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 2>some real internal work. And you have all the money,

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 2>all the resources to have access to the best everything.

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 2>Stop spending the money and using the resources to attempt

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 2>to cover up your lives and start using the money

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.040
<v Speaker 2>and the resources to deal with your truth. Please give

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Sean Combs the biggest he hull m.

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm proud of you. Okay, that was really nicely written.
