Speaker 2: Breaking news tonight, Sean Puffy Comb's aka Diddy aka p Diddy.

3
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: The world saw the video of you brutally beating, kicking,

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: and dragging Cassie in a hotel hallway. Then we had

5
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: to listen to your fake apology. Uh. But in the

00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: last hours we learn a secret grand jury is set

00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: sex abuse claims emerge. Oh yeah, Dinny, done good evening.

9
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thank you for

10
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 2: being with us.

11
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 3: Hip hop mogul Sean Comb slammed with two more lawsuits

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: alleging sexual assault. Now a grand jury may bring Diddy's

13
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 3: accusers to court. Friends speak out against Diddy, detailing a

14
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: long history of abuse.

15
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: We are learning in the last hours that a grand jury,

16
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: a secret grand jury, is being impaneled to hear more

17
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: charges against the music mogul. What does it mean? Nothing

18
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: good for Sean Puffy comes listen.

19
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 4: It's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in

20
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 4: your life. Sometimes you got to do that. I was,

21
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 4: I mean, I had rock bottom, but I.

22
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 5: Made no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable.

23
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 4: I take full responsibility for my ashes in that video.

24
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 3: It is now confirmed that in New York City grand

25
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: jury has been impaneled to hear evidence and witness testimony

26
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: for an indictment against Sean Ditty Combs. The Homeland Security

27
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: Investigations Agency HSI first revealed their probe into the when

28
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 3: agents raided his homes in Miami and Los Angeles. The

29
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: investigation reportedly centers on sex trafficking allegations pulled from several

30
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 3: recent lawsuits, but sources say the scope has now expanded

31
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 3: to include allegations of money laundering and illegal drug trade.

32
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: Did you hear that in that sad sat video he

33
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: put out after the video of him beating Cassie and

34
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: dragging her down a hallway came out, he didn't apologize

35
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 2: until then. He says he's had plenty of time. He

36
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 2: has had time to think about what he's done in

37
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: a very dark place. Hey Diddy, you're going to have

38
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: time to think about it behind bars. He also goes

39
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 2: on to say he's taking full responsibility. Does that mean

40
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: he's going to plead guilty and save us all the

41
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 2: pain of a jury trial? I doubt that. Joining me

42
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: in Elstar panel makes sense of what we know right now.

43
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: Lauren Colin joining me, investigative journalists and star of the

44
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: outlier podcast Lawn. You've been on the case since we

45
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: first learned about that raid on Cos's two homes simultaneously

46
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: on two sides of the country. We now learn about

47
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: a grand jury being empaneled. What do you know?

48
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 6: Okay, So this is very good news, and I'm actually

49
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 6: surprised at how quickly this all came together. But what

50
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 6: we know right now is that the defendants are being

51
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 6: prepped to go in front of a grand jury. There

52
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 6: are not potential witnesses being prepped for testimony yet, because

53
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 6: investigators and HSI are taking their time to ensure that

54
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 6: this is one bulletproof case.

55
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: Nancy, Oh, I've heard that phrase before.

56
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 7: Listen As HSI prepares for the looming grand jury hearings,

57
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 7: sources say they are still working to make sure an

58
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 7: indictment would be bulletproof. Agents are reportedly in possession of

59
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 7: tapes from inside Diddy's home and contacting the people on them.

60
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 7: Witnesses have also received no is that they may be

61
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 7: called to testify. Some of those witnesses may be direct

62
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 7: Diddy accusers, anyone called will likely go through rigorous preparations

63
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 7: with prosecutors before facing the grand jury.

64
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: Not defendants coming before a grand jury, victims and witnesses

65
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: will be coming before a secret grand jury. Joining me

66
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: as I said an all star panel. But I want

67
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: to go out to former federal prosecutor, president of West

68
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: Coast Trial Lawyers, and author of Harvard to hashtag I

69
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: don't know what that is, but let me put Harvard

70
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: out of your mind and put ditty in your mind

71
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: right now. Nima Romani, Nima, let's talk about federal grand

72
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: juries or grand juries in general. We keep hearing the

73
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: phrase bulletproof indictment. I wouldn't go that overboard because for

74
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: an indictment to be true build in other words, for

75
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 2: a graduator hand down and a indictment. A grand jury

76
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 2: is typically made up of twenty to forty ish registered

77
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: voters in that jurisdiction or property owners in that jurisdiction.

78
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: That's how they find them. The key to that is

79
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 2: in the right jurisdiction, and they hear a handful of witnesses,

80
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 2: typically sometimes even one which could be a lead detective

81
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 2: that could sum up all the evidence in all the

82
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 2: victims for the grand jury, they ask that the witness questions.

83
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: The witness, of course, is under oath. Then the witness

84
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 2: leaves the room and the grand jury meets, and you

85
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: hear a buzzer. The DA goes back in and you

86
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: find out whether there's a no bill in other words,

87
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: no charges, or a true bill an indictment. It's not

88
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: rocket science, it's not, Nancy.

89
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 8: Let me tell you how it typically works and why

90
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 8: it's different in the d d KS. And like you said,

91
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 8: usually in the federal system you have twenty three or

92
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 8: more grand jurists. You're just in that slight majority twelve

93
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 8: and a true bill, and you normally don't put your

94
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 8: victim witnesses before the grand jury. You bring one of

95
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 8: your law enforcement witnesses, heresay evidence comes in, he or

96
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 8: she describes the case to the grand jurors, and usually

97
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 8: within a matter of minutes, you get that true bill.

98
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 8: So why are things different in this case and why

99
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 8: is there a delay?

100
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: Things are moving.

101
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 8: A lot slower than everyone, including myself anticipated. His homes

102
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 8: were rated months ago. Well, we know that Diddy is

103
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 8: not going to take any type of deal, nor will

104
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 8: one be offered him. We're talking about federal sex draffing

105
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 8: with minimums nancy of ten to fifteen years in federal prison.

106
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 8: If and when did he's convicted, He's going to die

107
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 8: in prison.

108
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 2: Am I supposed to be sad about a long deal

109
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 2: sentence because I'm not. Look for all of his money

110
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: and his diamond jewelry and his big cars and meat

111
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 2: coats and blah, the blaw, the blaw, same thing. He's

112
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: a bully. I believe the victims in this case. And

113
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 2: if I'm wrong, Diddy, you've been invited on to correct me.

114
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: But uh oh, you're an O show. I believe them,

115
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: not him, because really, you think all of these victims

116
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: got together, victims separated in time and space, and came

117
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: up with generally the same story. It's Bill Cosby all

118
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 2: over again. Same thing. They're all saying the same thing.

119
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: Same thing with Weinstein, right, same thing with Epstein and

120
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: Jelane Maxwell. All of these victims are saying the same thing.

121
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: How is that possible since they don't know each other.

122
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: So the fact that this guy, if the victims are

123
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: to be believed, raped, sex assaulted and beat women, you

124
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: think I care if he sits in a jail cell

125
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: for fifteen twenty years because I don't Ramani don't care.

126
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 8: Man, I don't either. But if you're a federal prosecutor

127
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 8: and you know your case is going to go to trial,

128
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 8: you have to prepare for all possibilities. And let me

129
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 8: tell you what a real possibility is if you have

130
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 8: a defendant who's worth over a billion dollars, that he

131
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 8: will pay off these victims to have them not show

132
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 8: up at trial. So normally you don't grand durate your victims.

133
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 2: Why don't you do that.

134
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 8: You create testimony that has to be disclosed to the defense.

135
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 8: It may be inconsistent with their testimony at trial, but

136
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 8: you're grand during them in a case like this because

137
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 8: you want to lock them in because you have to

138
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 8: prepare for the possibility that they might go sideways at trial.

139
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 8: That's what the Feds of the US Attorney's Office are

140
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 8: trying to do.

141
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 2: You just got my attention, and not in a good

142
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: way when you said he could pay off of witnesses.

143
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: And you know another bullet for the state. That lawyer,

144
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: I mean, Benjamin Brosman, that guy don't play. That guy

145
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: goes into the courtroom. He is like a shark. He

146
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: eats up every state's witness digests them without blinking, and

147
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: he is working at for Diddy. Brafman is no joke

148
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 2: in a courtroom. Another thing, What do we know about

149
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 2: potential witnesses? And I agree with Nima Romani on this.

150
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: You don't put your victims up at the grand jury,

151
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 2: no what, because later on you may and in this

152
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: case will because Braflin will see to it that he

153
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: gets it, get that grand jury testimony. And if there's

154
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 2: any inconsistency at all, it could be dre white wine

155
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 2: that night versus I had a margarita. It could be

156
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: any inconsistency at all. Brafman will tear those victims to shred,

157
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: okay shreds. What do we know about the new victims

158
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: At this hour as we are on air, new victims

159
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: are being ferreted out, claiming violent, violent beatings and sex

160
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: abuse at the hands of Sean Puffy Combs listen.

161
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 9: In the eighth lawsuit against Sean Combe's, model Crystal McKinney

162
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 9: claims did he promises to help her career. After they

163
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 9: meet at a Men's Fashion Week event in Manhattan. Comb's

164
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 9: leader invites McKinney to his studio, where he encourages the

165
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 9: model to drink and smoke marijuana, which McKinney now believes

166
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 9: was leasd with narcotics. Once McKinney was plied, she claims

167
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 9: Combs led her to a bathroom and forced her to

168
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 9: perform a sex act. The next thing she remembers is

169
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 9: waking up in a taxi and realizing she had been

170
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 9: sexually assaulted. McKinney saves the clothes she was wearing that

171
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 9: evening in a plastic bag.

172
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: Monica Lewinsky, does that name ring a bell to anybody

173
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 2: joining me an all star panel? But I want to

174
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 2: go to Scott Johnson, forensic psychologist specializing and addressing sex

175
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: predators at Forensicconsultation dot Org. He's even written multiple books,

176
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: I'm Being Physical Abusers and Sex Offenders, Forensic Consideration and Strategies,

177
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: and When I Love You Turns Violent? Okay, Scott Johnson.

178
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 2: The only thing setting Sean Puffy Combs apart from all

179
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: the other guys behind bars for rape and abuse is

180
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: he's got money and notoriety and legions of fans. It's

181
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 2: the only thing that makes him different from the others.

182
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 2: But I want to ask you, because a lot of

183
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 2: people are going to attack this victim. I hate when

184
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 2: that happens because she saved biological evidence. If you could

185
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: see me, you would see I was doing air quotes

186
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: on biological evidence. That means sperm. I think that's what

187
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 2: it means, because you remember when Monica Lewinsky kept the

188
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: wasn't it a blue dress? And I had Bill Clinton?

189
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: And I'm not getting into politics. I don't care Bill

190
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: Clinton's sperm on her blue dress? So he had to go,

191
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I do recall something about her. Now, yeah,

192
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: the intern, Okay, she was attacked because she kept the dress.

193
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 2: I think the same thing's going to happen here. She's

194
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: going to be assailed, assaulted, attacked because she kept the

195
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: biological edicus sperm of Sean Peffey comes. People are going

196
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: to argue, oh, you did that just to get a payday,

197
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: that's all you want to Who cares if she wants money,

198
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: That doesn't change the fact that she was assaulted.

199
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 10: Right And you know if someone wanted a payday, they

200
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 10: would do it right away, not years later. So when

201
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 10: people are terrified, they've been victimized, they've been raped, they've

202
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 10: been threatened, and they fear for their safety and their

203
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 10: sanity is feeling anything but sane. Right, they keep things,

204
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 10: and so it was a smart thing to do on

205
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 10: behalf of the victim. But people will blame thinking, oh, yes,

206
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 10: you were there to set him up. But again, people

207
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 10: who set someone up typically come right out right away

208
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 10: with that evidence.

209
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 2: You're so right, you are so right. Now, as multiple

210
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: alleged victims come forward, this one with we think Diddy's

211
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: sperm on her dress, that's quite the momento. It's not

212
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: like you're saving theater tickets or an old carsage. She's

213
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: got sperm on a dress. We think that said, it's

214
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 2: going to be hard to discredit her because she's got

215
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 2: physical evidence. What about the others? And now we are

216
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: learning that allegations of Combs's physical abuse and sex abuse

217
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: go all the way back to college. Yeah, I'm gonna

218
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: get to that. But what does Sean Diddy Combs have

219
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: to say to these allegations. Listen, I'm disgusted.

220
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 4: I was disgusted then when I did it, I'm disgusting

221
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 4: now and went and I sought out professional help God

222
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 4: to go into therapy.

223
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:10,599
Speaker 11: I'm going to rehad.

224
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 4: Had asked God for his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry,

225
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 4: but I'm committed to be a better managent every day.

226
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 4: I'm not asking for forgiveness.

227
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 5: I'm truly sorry.

228
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 9: Crystal McKinney alleges Combs forced her to drink.

229
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: Alcohol and smoke lace.

230
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: Drugs before sexually assaulting her.

231
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 9: McKinney saved decades old evidence in a bag with the

232
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 9: hopes of bringing the rap star and music powerhouse to justice.

233
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: And it's not just her, there are others. Listen.

234
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 12: April Lampros is the eighth accuser to file suit against

235
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 12: rapper Sean Diddy Combs. Lampros meets Combs while studying at

236
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 12: the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, and

237
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 12: Combs offers to help her find work and introduce her

238
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 12: to connections in the industry. Lampros details for terrifying forcible

239
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 12: sexual encounters with Combs over five years. The most horrific

240
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 12: allegations purporting that Combs forces Lampros to take ecstasy and

241
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 12: have sex with his then girlfriend Kim Porter, before raping

242
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 12: Lampros himself.

243
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: It just gets source and worse. I'm just thinking about

244
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 2: all the rape victims that I've represented and what they

245
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: endured during the rape, of all the beating, strangulations victims

246
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 2: I've represented in court what they endure not only in

247
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: the moment of the attack, but for the rest of

248
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 2: their lives. They're really never the same same. Joining me

249
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: is Shannon Hinn, President, founder of Surviving Assault, Standing Strong. Shannon.

250
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: While it's one thing to talk about Ditti's fur coats

251
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 2: and his rolls royces, and his diamond jewelry and all

252
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 2: of his money. I think he's estimated to have close

253
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 2: to a billion with a b Is and Brother dollars.

254
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: When I think back on all the rape victims I

255
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 2: represented in court, I can't even count them all, and

256
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: all the women I worked with at night at the

257
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: Battered Women's Center, it's very sobering, Shannon Henry, because their

258
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: lives will never be the same.

259
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 11: You're right, their lives will never be the same.

260
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 13: From the nightmares, to the sleepless nights, to the anxiety

261
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 13: and fear and the memories that they have in those flashbacks.

262
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 13: Their lives are never the same. And so they're left

263
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 13: navigating all of this, getting the help that they need

264
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 13: and the support that they need. And when we look

265
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,439
Speaker 13: at Diddy, he really does have an eye problem. In

266
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 13: his apology, which is so empty. He's saying things like

267
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 13: I'm disgusted. I sought help, I had to ask for

268
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,719
Speaker 13: God's forgiveness. But what he didn't have to say was

269
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 13: Cassie's name, to apologize to all of the victims that

270
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 13: he's hurt, and he did not do that. So as

271
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 13: we move forward and we see this ground swell of

272
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 13: support coming for these survivors, I'm just excited that they

273
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 13: finally feel like people believe them and they have the

274
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 13: support that they need to move forward because this is

275
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 13: going to be a slog it truly is, but they are.

276
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 11: In it to end his reign of terr.

277
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 2: You know, so perfectly put Shannon Henry, I'm not a shrink.

278
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 2: I'm going to have to go to Scott Johnson on this.

279
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: But again, Shannon, one thing I'm having a hard time

280
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 2: verbalizing it that I saw in every rape or soughtomy victim,

281
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 2: and I saw it also in child abuse molestation victims,

282
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: even adult victims of child abuse, is a lingering, never

283
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 2: to go away sense of powerlessness, helplessness, I guess left

284
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 2: over from the rape when you can't fight back and

285
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: you're just getting raped or beaten. Some of the victims

286
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: described to me more than one. So I don't think

287
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: it's just a single phenomena, as feeling that they had

288
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 2: actually left their body and were looking down as the

289
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: rape occurred. They were so helpless that in their minds

290
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: they actually left their body wearing the rape or sawtomy,

291
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 2: whichever it was. It was that traumatic and through life,

292
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: the rest of their life, they have flashbacks and nausea,

293
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:18,719
Speaker 2: dizzy spells, and they remember that feeling of helplessness. It

294
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 2: never goes away. Shamn. It's true.

295
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 13: And you know that's a biological response to fear. It's

296
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 13: something that actually happens in our bodies through our brain.

297
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 11: It's an entire process.

298
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 13: And when they're looking away, they are focusing on solutions.

299
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 13: A lot of survivors will say, I kept seeing the

300
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 13: door handle. I can't describe what his shirt looked like,

301
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 13: but I can tell you what the door handle looked like,

302
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 13: And that's because they were trying to find ways to

303
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 13: escape in that moment, sadly, and so as this ground

304
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 13: swallow support comes about throughout the country and as other

305
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 13: survivors come forward, there is hope in the fact that

306
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 13: they are a control back.

307
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 11: They are flipping the script.

308
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 13: On Ditty and they are now the ones speaking up

309
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 13: and managing the way that people see the story, understand

310
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 13: the story and what happened to these women. My sincere

311
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 13: hope is that when it comes time for them to

312
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 13: speak up in that courtroom, that they will have been

313
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 13: prepared in the best way possible to feel like they're

314
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 13: in control. They know where he's going to sit, they

315
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 13: understand the layout of the room, and a good attorney

316
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 13: will do that with them.

317
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got to know everything shedding, You're right, They've

318
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 2: got to know what's going to happen on direct and

319
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 2: maybe more importantly, what is going to happen on cross

320
00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 2: exam a searing shredding cross example.

321
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace.

322
00:20:55,119 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: Scott Johnson with me. For physic psychologists specializing and addressing

323
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,239
Speaker 2: sex predators, what is that feeling when you become in

324
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 2: the middle of a sex attack, disembodied and you actually

325
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 2: feel you can look down and see the rapist from

326
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: a different part of the room, or as Shannon Henry described,

327
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 2: focusing on the door handle instead of what's happening to your.

328
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 14: Body, Right, it's just total survival mode, or to just

329
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 14: not feel for a moment, what's happening because you're powerless

330
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 14: over that, but you're not powerless over observation and perhaps

331
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 14: putting yourself somewhere else in your brain.

332
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 2: Putting yourself somewhere outside your brain. Robert Crispin is joining me.

333
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 2: I want to follow up with you, Crispin, based on

334
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 2: what Shannon and Scott have just told us. Robert guys

335
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 2: private investigator, but in my mind more important today former

336
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 2: federal Task Force for the US Department of Justice with

337
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: a DA Miami Fuel Division Homicide and Crimes against Women

338
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 2: and Children investigator. Never like a business in Miami Dade,

339
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: I might say now at Crispin Special Investigations, Robert can

340
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 2: I actually makes me feel nauseous right now in this

341
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: studio when I am hearing Shannon talk and hearing Scott

342
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 2: Johnson talk about these ladies and what they went through

343
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 2: and what they are still endearing to this day, and

344
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: I think about all the rape victims and molestation victims

345
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 2: I've dealt with, and I have to stop for just

346
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 2: a moment. I got to think about something else because

347
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 2: I'm feeling literally sick to my stomach about it. Let's

348
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 2: talk about how we're gonna get in how well.

349
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 5: I mean, this is pretty easy. There's a reason that

350
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 5: the government is putting these victims in front of the

351
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 5: grand jury. Rest assured that the investigators and the agents

352
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 5: spent hours and hours with all these victims, and they

353
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 5: feel very confident that they have a common theme, that

354
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 5: they're solid, and that they're going to be some type

355
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 5: of Obviously on a cross there's always an issue, but

356
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 5: they're pretty much going to be bulletproof because all these victims,

357
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 5: who don't know each other rest to share.

358
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure that they told.

359
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 5: The exact same story, the exact same If you want

360
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 5: to say modus operator about how Didty operates when he

361
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 5: gets his victims drunk, drugs him and then sexually assaults

362
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 5: them violently. That is extremely traumatic. These victims are going

363
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 5: to carry this for a lifetime.

364
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 15: April lamp Posts was only a student when she alleges

365
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 15: did he force her into terrifying sexual encounters using his

366
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 15: power to promise her connections and work in the industry.

367
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 15: Lamp Posts was allegedly forced to have sex with Ditty's

368
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 15: then girlfriend Kim Porter while on X to see Wow.

369
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: It just keeps on happening, And remember that video of

370
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 2: him dragging Cassie up and down the hotel hallway, baiting her,

371
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 2: kicking her, throwing this big, expensive glass vase at her. Okay,

372
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 2: then we've seen all of his apologies apologies. Well, apparently

373
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 2: that's all for show, because sources now reveal that Combs

374
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 2: is saying Cassie's tape is one sided. Listen.

375
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 7: Sean Combs publicly apologizes and accepts responsibility for his actions

376
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 7: in the twenty sixteen video of him attacking girlfriend Cassie Ventira,

377
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 7: but privately did He has commented that the video quote

378
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 7: doesn't tell the full story about what happened. Combs calls

379
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 7: the video quote selected and one sided, adding that its

380
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 7: release is part of an agenda to destroy his reputation.

381
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 2: I would say I'm surprised because I feel shocked that

382
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 2: he's such an idiot. But is this correct? Lauren Colin

383
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 2: joining me start of the Outlier podcast, Lauren, So he

384
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 2: makes all these public apologies, God have mercy on me

385
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 2: in all of his other Bs technical legal term, when

386
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 2: in his own camp, he's saying the video that emerged

387
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: is quote one sided, doesn't tell the quote whole story,

388
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 2: and is quote selective and part of some vast conspiracy

389
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: to get Diddy, Get Diddy. I hadny thought about Diddy

390
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: until I saw that video. Now I'm thinking about Diddy.

391
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 2: Nobody's part of a conspiracy. That's just like Simpson claiming

392
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 2: the LAPD had a big conspiracy to get a famous

393
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 2: football star they all loved. He is actually saying amongst

394
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 2: his own camp that the video was part of a conspiracy.

395
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 2: There's more to it, what more beating in the hotel

396
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 2: room exactly.

397
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 6: I mean, he is such a rodent, and I just

398
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 6: want to go back to his post on Instagram when

399
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 6: he wrote time tells truth total bs. Like you said,

400
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 6: let me go back and give you some context as

401
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 6: to what that video was. Cassie detailed in her lawsuit

402
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 6: she left the hotel because Diddy just gave her a

403
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 6: black eye after forcing her to do what he called

404
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 6: a freak off, which is when she was forced to

405
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 6: have sex with sex workers. He would film it, he

406
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,880
Speaker 6: would tell her what to do in his drunken stupor,

407
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 6: he punched her, she escaped, and that was the video

408
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 6: that we saw. I mean, I'm so disgusted, Nancy, I

409
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 6: am so sick of this. I just the day cannot

410
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 6: come soon enough for these women to get justice.

411
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 2: Of course, let me just stress Sean Puffy Comes aka

412
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 2: Diddy aka Ditty has not yet been indided, he has

413
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 2: not been tried, and he will be able to exercise

414
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 2: all of his constitutional rights at trial, and I can

415
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 2: assure you defense attorney Ben Brofman will make sure that

416
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 2: he takes advantage of every constitutional protection. Okay. That said,

417
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: while Sean Puffy Combs is whining, Andrew arnfrayers that the

418
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 2: beating tape of Cassie Vanteriro being dragged up and down

419
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: the hallway is one sided. She and the others we've

420
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: mentioned are not the only ones coming forward. Listen.

421
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 12: Three of the women accusing Diddy of heinous sex crimes

422
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 12: and lawsuits have spoken about their allegations publicly for the

423
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 12: first time. Dickerson Neil says for her, it's not about

424
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 12: the money, but revealing the icon's disgusting, unpunished behavior. Model

425
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 12: Crystal McKinney says she felt like she was dying every

426
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 12: day she did not come forward. The third woman who

427
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 12: remained anonymous, agreed that it was incredibly difficult to tell

428
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 12: her story publicly, but once Comb's and all those who

429
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 12: acted with him were stood by to also be held accountable.

430
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 2: We are also learning in the last hours that reportedly

431
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 2: a male sex worker is believed to have been a

432
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: witness against Diddy. Sean Puffy Combs aka Diddy to face

433
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 2: a grand jury charge as FEDS are contacting accusers to

434
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 2: testify against him, including a male sex worker. Lauren Conlin,

435
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 2: I don't believe you mentioned that at the beginning of

436
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 2: our program.

437
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,719
Speaker 6: Well, look, there's a lot of people that are contacting

438
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 6: because they are still going through the footage that they

439
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 6: got from his Miami and La Holmes. And what HSI

440
00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 6: is doing is they are picking out who are in

441
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 6: these videos and they are contacting them. So this is

442
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 6: still a work in process.

443
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: Nancy, Okay, again a quote bulletproof indictment to Nima Romani,

444
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: very renowned former federal prosecutor, president West Coast trial lawyers,

445
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: and author. Nima, got to be careful regarding who you call,

446
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: because some jurors will judge a witness based on their reputation. Now,

447
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 2: my approach to jury trials is to bring every single witness.

448
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 2: I don't care if there are a none, a priest,

449
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: a virgin, or a sex worker. Don't care. Tell your

450
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 2: jury ahead of time what you're doing and why. But

451
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 2: I don't consider a sex worker's testimony any less important

452
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 2: than I would, as I said, ann a priest or

453
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 2: a virgin. What do you think about this latest twist

454
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 2: that one of the alleged witnesses against Combs is a

455
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 2: male sex worker.

456
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 8: I agree with you, Nancy's sex worker is going to

457
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 8: be sexually assaulted too, But the reality is some jurors

458
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 8: will view them differently. So what you want to do

459
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 8: is corroborate their testimony. In any case like this where

460
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 8: the victims didn't come forward immediately, where there's an allegation

461
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 8: that this is a money grab or a payday because

462
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 8: they file their civil lawsuits before going to law enforcement,

463
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 8: at least reportedly, what you want to do is corroborate

464
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 8: their testimony. And juris might not believe the testimony of

465
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 8: one victim, especially when you're talking about a criminal case

466
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,479
Speaker 8: involving reasonable doubt, but it's going to be hard for

467
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 8: them to disbelieve the testimony of the seven or more

468
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 8: victims that are file lawsuits in this case, and the

469
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 8: twelve or more that are reportedly testifying before the grand jury.

470
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 3: Hip hop Mogul Sean Combs slammed with two more lawsuits

471
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: alleging sexual assault. Now a grand jury may bring Ditty's

472
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 3: accusers to court. Friends co workers speak out against Ditty,

473
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 3: detailing a long history of abuse.

474
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 2: At this point, we are learning that former friends and

475
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 2: co workers are jumping on the bandwagon. One of the

476
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: defense attacks on these former friends and co workers is

477
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 2: why now? Why didn't we say anything before? Now? Listen?

478
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 9: Bad Boy Records co founding partner describes tearing Comb's off

479
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 9: a woman in the label's office when they hear screams

480
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,959
Speaker 9: and glass shattering. Comb's attacks. Music execs Shakir Stewart breaking

481
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 9: a chair over his head for going on a few

482
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 9: dates with his ex. Kim Porter, a graphic designer, says

483
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 9: Combe solicited her for sex while she was on his payroll.

484
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 9: In a personal chef Sue's Combs for sexual harassment in

485
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 9: twenty seventeen. Model Gina Hunn says Combs beat her during

486
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 9: their four year relationship, and her twenty nineteen public claims

487
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 9: were ignored.

488
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Greece.

489
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 2: Joining me in alstar panel, but now to Robert Crispin,

490
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 2: private investigator formerly with crimes against children and women. Crispin

491
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 2: if this is true, And again, all of these matters

492
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 2: that we are discussing are allegations. They have not been

493
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 2: proven in a court of law. Why did he may

494
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 2: have paid Cassie ventiup millions of dollars in a settlement. Hey,

495
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 2: maybe he's innocent and he can explain all that to

496
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 2: a jury that said, the claims of a male sex

497
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 2: worker as a witness in this case, we're waiting. Those

498
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 2: are allegations right now. But query Robert Crispin. If you

499
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 2: would beat someone and shattered glass, the woman is screaming

500
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 2: so loudly, other people come running in a recording studio

501
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 2: that's in public. Well, it's like going over to target

502
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 2: and meeting someone and trying to rape somebody right there.

503
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 2: If you would do that with people around, what would

504
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 2: you do behind closed doors? Crispin?

505
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 5: Pretty scary, right, You do a lot more than that.

506
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 5: And the other issue is all these people who witness this,

507
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 5: they never came forward because they're in Ditty's world and

508
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 5: they want to stay in Ditty's world, and he's an

509
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 5: icon and I didn't see that.

510
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 2: What I didn't see that?

511
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 5: So behind closed doors it gets worse, and I think

512
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 5: you're going to find that there's a lot of videos

513
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 5: that are going to start coming out. They're going to

514
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 5: justify a lot of these actions. And that's why this

515
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 5: is taking so long. As I said, way in the

516
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 5: beginning of this, when everyone was rushing to say he's

517
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 5: getting indicted tomorrow, no way.

518
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 11: I've done these cases.

519
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 5: I've been in front of your injuries. Every single one

520
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 5: of these witnesses has to be interviewed at length. Their

521
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 5: credibility has to be judged by the investigators or the agents,

522
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 5: and then systematically they're taking these people into grand jury

523
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 5: and they're laying their case out. There's no hurry here.

524
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 5: They have what they need. Now they need to put

525
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 5: that bulletproof case together.

526
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 2: Scot Johnson forensic psychologists. Of these witnesses that we're hearing about,

527
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 2: including his former friends and coworkers at Bad Boy Records,

528
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,800
Speaker 2: they're going to be attacked because they didn't say anything

529
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 2: at the time. They heard that glass smashing and that

530
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 2: woman screaming, and you know, his little group around him

531
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 2: have seen a lot more than that one incident. It's

532
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 2: like a roach. You see one, there's one hundred more

533
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 2: hiding in the cabinet. You think that's the only time

534
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 2: he beat somebody. So these witnesses are going to be

535
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: attacked by Brafman and probably a whole fleet of IPAID

536
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 2: attorneys for Sean Puffy Combs about why they didn't come

537
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 2: forward at the time. Why didn't they?

538
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 10: Well, right, but that's common. Most victims don't come forward,

539
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 10: or if they do, it's sometime after a crime. And

540
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 10: especially if you're living in his world, as they're saying,

541
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 10: you have to fear for your safety, your reputation, your career,

542
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 10: not to mention what others are going to say if

543
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 10: Diddy decides to diss you, which he does. So there's

544
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 10: violence to worry about. There's everything to worry about. And

545
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 10: someone I thought said in the hip hop world that

546
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 10: this has been our open secret for years. Well right,

547
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 10: everybody just kept letting it happen because they're afraid of him.

548
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody said that after r Kelly and Weinstein and Epstein,

549
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 2: did it really change anything. I don't know about that.

550
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 2: I have to go on a case by case basis.

551
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: But to you, Shannon Henry, president and founder a Surviving

552
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 2: Assault Standing Strong joining us, if you think about these

553
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 2: witnesses that did not come forward at the time, or

554
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 2: call nine to one one. It's no different than from

555
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 2: the batter women and you and I deal with every

556
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 2: single day. They stay in it, and it's the phenomenon.

557
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 2: And you have to understand the cycle of battering to

558
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 2: understand why they stay. I know it up here, I

559
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 2: still don't really understand it in my heart. Why would

560
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 2: you stay with someone that beats you and nearly kills

561
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 2: you on a routine basis much less what it does

562
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 2: to your children to see that. But they don't come forward.

563
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 2: They're afraid, they're financially dependent. In some cases, they don't

564
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 2: want their families to find out that their marriage or

565
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 2: their relationship is busted. And why for a lot of

566
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: different reasons. And I don't mean uneducated women. I mean

567
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 2: women with PhDs and great jobs and maybe even the

568
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 2: main breadwinner in the home don't come forward. It happens

569
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 2: all the time.

570
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 11: It does happen all the time.

571
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 13: And I think you know, just like you said, there's

572
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 13: a myriad of reasons why it happens. Financially children, they're

573
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 13: afraid to lead, And I go back to what I

574
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 13: said the last time.

575
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 11: They also love them.

576
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 13: Their definition of love may be different from the person

577
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 13: that they're with.

578
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 11: But they love them at some level, and.

579
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 13: There's always this hope that something will change, they'll get better.

580
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 13: If they just love them enough, maybe they'll change, And

581
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,359
Speaker 13: maybe I'm the one that can do it. But in

582
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 13: the end, eighty six percent of women do not come

583
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 13: forward to share what's going on and try to casually

584
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 13: go away safely and deal with it on their own.

585
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 13: But as you said earlier, that's a lifetime of trauma

586
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 13: to deal with.

587
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:35,320
Speaker 11: And what we're.

588
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,719
Speaker 13: Seeing and what I hope that these attorneys do is

589
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 13: they piece together Diddy's playbook and they open Pandora's box

590
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 13: and that justice will He will feel the staying of justice,

591
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 13: if not here on earth, there is a justice system

592
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 13: that he cannot outrun.

593
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 2: I don't want to wait so we're all dead in heaven,

594
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 2: God willing I make it to heaven. No, I want

595
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 2: justice in the here and now. So Nima Ramani, former

596
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 2: Federal prosecutor, President West Coast Trial Lawyers, on and on

597
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 2: and on and on with his accolades, Nima, how do

598
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 2: I get justice now? I don't want to wait till

599
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 2: we all die and hopefully go to heaven. I want

600
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 2: justice now for these victims. So how do you deal

601
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,839
Speaker 2: in a nutshell, Nima. I know you could write an

602
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 2: entire law review article on it, but how do you

603
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: deal with witnesses that did not come forward at the time.

604
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 8: Well, you're going to corroborate it, right, and you have

605
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 8: that video evidence.

606
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 2: Did He can lie?

607
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 8: His lawyers can lie. Let's not forget when Cassie first

608
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 8: filed out lawsuit in November, did these lawyers come out

609
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 8: and said these are baseless and outrageous lies. But the

610
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 8: good thing for the prosecution and the terrible thing for

611
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 8: did You, is that there's going to be a lot

612
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 8: of video evidence here. So once the victims are grand jury,

613
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 8: you put them one after another. What we're going to

614
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 8: do as former prosecutors, Nancy, you and I and what

615
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 8: the prosecutors in the Southern District of New Yorker going

616
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 8: to do or the best in the business. They're going

617
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 8: to unseal a Rico indictment and they're going to follow

618
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 8: the R. Kelly model. We're talking about Weinstein, Epstein, Cosby.

619
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 8: But I think that's going to be the most analogous case.

620
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 8: That way, you get all the reco predicate acts and

621
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 8: relevant conduct, some of it which even falls outside the

622
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 8: statue of Limitaians. You can bring that in like that

623
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 8: horrible beating that took place here in Los Angeles, less

624
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 8: than a mile away from where I'm sitting. That's how

625
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 8: you get Diddy Nancy.

626
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 16: Countless allegations and eight lawsuits later, Diddy's reign comes crumbling down.

627
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 16: Heloton and a leading eyewear retailers say bye bye to Ditty.

628
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:52,280
Speaker 2: Does the alleged abusive behavior from megastarr Sean Puffy aka

629
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 2: Diddy comes date all the way back to college? Listen.

630
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 3: Students at Howard University in the late eighties recall business

631
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 3: major Sean Puff Combs standing outside his girlfriend's dorm, screaming

632
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 3: for her to come down. Students watch as the girl

633
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 3: approaches Combs and raise the alarm when he becomes violent,

634
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 3: saying Puff is out here acting crazy. He's beating her.

635
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 3: Bystanders scream for Combs to get off of her as

636
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 3: he hits his girlfriend with a belt several times. The

637
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,240
Speaker 3: woman Combs reportedly attacked. His decline to comment on the incident,

638
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 3: but the witnesses clearly remember how Comb's quote whooped her but.

639
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:34,919
Speaker 2: Quote whipped her but out in the open. Now does

640
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: it matter to me if it's an open or behind

641
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 2: closed doors? Noe, it does not, but I can tell

642
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 2: you it's like the camel's nose in the tent. His

643
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 2: tail will surely follow. If he's willing to beat a

644
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 2: co ed out and public with a belt buckle, beating

645
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 2: her all over her body, not just several times, I

646
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 2: mean beating her with a belt buckle and public, what

647
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 2: does he do behind closed doors? And thanks to Fiddy,
