Speaker 1: I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
Speaker 1: and everybody. I don't know if you don't lie.
Speaker 2: About that right.
Speaker 3: Came in, Hey, y'all, what's up.
Speaker 1: It's Laura and Rosa and this is the latest with
Speaker 1: Laura and Rosa. This is your daily dig on all
Speaker 1: things pop culture, entertainment, news and all of the conversations
Speaker 1: that shake the room.
Speaker 2: Now. I know we have talked a lot.
Speaker 1: About Diddy in the last couple of days because he
Speaker 1: was sentenced on October third, twenty twenty five to four
Speaker 1: years and two months behind bars.
Speaker 2: But I had a little bonus content for you guys.
Speaker 3: I recorded a.
Speaker 1: Video when I came outside of the courtroom during our
Speaker 1: lunch break. Now to set the scene, this video is
Speaker 1: before Diddy got sentenced, but it is after a lot
Speaker 1: of the ping ponging back and forth between the defense
Speaker 1: which is Diddy's team and the prosecution or the government,
Speaker 1: and the judge getting in and saying how he felt.
Speaker 1: I didn't think that Diddy was going to come home
Speaker 1: after hearing that part this part of the trial. And
Speaker 1: this was just on my lunch but I want you
Speaker 1: guys here as well, sharing it as a bonus episode
Speaker 1: because I love my little Riders.
Speaker 2: Thank you guys for tuning in.
Speaker 1: Now take a listen to me outside of the courtroom,
Speaker 1: literally hours before Sean Diddy Combs was sentenced. All right, y'all,
Speaker 1: so really really quick, I just wanted to around my
Speaker 1: lunch break.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to give you guys a little update.
Speaker 1: First of all, let me just say people are asking
Speaker 1: the minute I walked out of court, people were asking me,
Speaker 1: what's the feeling in there? Like, what's the temperament in
Speaker 1: the court? The last I would say in the beginning
Speaker 1: of court. So the first few hours it feels like
Speaker 1: Diddy about to get the book thrown that. If I'm
Speaker 1: being honest with y'all, like I think, you know, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of things to take into consideration here. I
Speaker 1: think the fact that the judge says, hey, even though
Speaker 1: he was acquitted of you know, all those things that
Speaker 1: relate to that rico and everything that he didn't get
Speaker 1: hit with charge rides or didn't stick. You can consider
Speaker 1: that when having a conversation about certain things moving forward,
Speaker 1: you know, as we're talking about sentence, because the judges
Speaker 1: point was we wouldn't have ended up here at prosecution
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for certain things that had to do
Speaker 1: with some of the charges he was acquitted. Point being,
Speaker 1: they talked a lot about the force, the corrigion, the
Speaker 1: fear that they, you know, are saying that Diddy and
Speaker 1: put into these women and put into chain and put
Speaker 1: into Tassie, which made them do things they did not
Speaker 1: want to do.
Speaker 2: The judge specifically mentioned.
Speaker 3: Didn't threatened to not pay for Jade's playing stage.
Speaker 1: The judge mentioned Diddy texting Cassie and threatening to leap
Speaker 1: sex tapes, you know, all things that there were hard
Speaker 1: evidence of, even though those targes did not stick.
Speaker 3: Right So the minute you hear that, because what they're.
Speaker 1: Having a conversation about right now is is like it,
Speaker 1: it's the guidelines, the sentencing guidelines and what can what
Speaker 1: can you lean on when you when or what is
Speaker 1: the court going to lean on? And what is the
Speaker 1: court allowed to lean on? And they're taking it from
Speaker 1: both sides. They're looking at, here's what the prosecution is
Speaker 1: asking for for us to consider to think about, Here's
Speaker 1: what Diddy seams asking us to consider and think about.
Speaker 1: And here's everything that East side is saying, we don't
Speaker 1: want you to consider or think about. Right. But then
Speaker 1: at the same time, right, you have you know, Diddy's
Speaker 1: team who gets up there and Nicole Westmoreland broke down
Speaker 1: in tears. His attorney, Nicole west Moreland broke down in tears,
Speaker 1: and I don't people are always like, why you refer
Speaker 1: to her as the black woman attorney, And here I'm
Speaker 1: going to do so because I feel like it's important
Speaker 1: to do so, right, And I'll explain why. So Nicole
Speaker 1: west Moreland is she's a black woman attorney from Atlanta.
Speaker 1: She's also it's also been you know, a thing and
Speaker 1: a conversation about the fact that she is a sexual
Speaker 1: violent or sexual assault survivor.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: She broke down in tears talking about what Diddy means
Speaker 1: to this family, to the black community, the strides that
Speaker 1: he's made as like the first black man to do
Speaker 1: several different things, and just how he's used all of
Speaker 1: his power, all of his fame to help people. He
Speaker 1: is not a person that has disregarded people in the
Speaker 1: way the prosecution will want you to believe.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Before west Moreland got up there and began to cry,
Speaker 1: and I think you know and the reason why I
Speaker 1: brought the fact that she's a black woman on a
Speaker 1: team doing so is because none of the white attorneys
Speaker 1: could have did that for me. In my opinion, I
Speaker 1: understood why she was doing it, but I felt like
Speaker 1: after the hours of you know, it was so clear
Speaker 1: in my opinion that the judge he doesn't believe that
Speaker 1: Diddy is.
Speaker 2: As remorseful as he should be.
Speaker 1: The judge specifically pointed out because Ditty was asking, you know,
Speaker 1: for sentencing to be taking easy on him because he
Speaker 1: has been remorseful to the court. He's asking several different things,
Speaker 1: but I was one of them, right, I'll give one
Speaker 1: to that later.
Speaker 2: But the judge is like, look.
Speaker 1: You've been remorseful, and you've apologize for things you haven't
Speaker 1: even and you've admitted to things, yes, but you have
Speaker 1: yet to even admit to what you were actually convicted of,
Speaker 1: which was the prostitution charges, nor.
Speaker 2: Have you apologized for that. So no, oh, I'm not gonna.
Speaker 3: Say, oh my god, he's so remorseful to the court.
Speaker 2: I want to make sure we take this light.
Speaker 1: No, And while the judge is talking about what they're
Speaker 1: able to use, and you know, these attorneys are like,
Speaker 1: I mean, Blian Still's head was in his hands, his
Speaker 1: face was in his hands, like in disbelief. Almost you
Speaker 1: had two of Vidde's attorneys stand up, Shapiro and Teenie
Speaker 1: Barrincko stand up and talk about how being able to
Speaker 1: use anything he was to put it up, how partially
Speaker 1: that's going to impact his sentencing. The judge used the
Speaker 1: word it would be non consequential because you can only
Speaker 1: use it when having conversation around how we arrive to
Speaker 1: the actual things he was charged with, right, which, honestly,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, I'm like, there's no way that you
Speaker 1: only use it for certain things. And this is those
Speaker 1: things that you're talking about when it comes to forest coercion,
Speaker 1: the feeding of the women, that all speaks the character.
Speaker 1: It's hard to not consider that when you're making a
Speaker 1: determination on sentencing.
Speaker 2: And Teeny Garricos made a good point.
Speaker 1: She said, he I just want to put on record
Speaker 1: you said the word non consequential. Can we please discuss like, yes,
Speaker 1: it is? And the judge corrected themselves. He said, you know,
Speaker 1: my bad if that's the word I use. But I
Speaker 1: want to be specific when I say, you know, here
Speaker 1: is how I apply for you for us as the
Speaker 1: court to be able to use anything he was acquitted
Speaker 1: of in sentancy. And the way that I am thinking
Speaker 1: about this and the way that it should be set
Speaker 1: up based on previous case law is not when it
Speaker 1: comes to the conversation of sentencing guidelines, but solely to
Speaker 1: understand how we arrived here. And the reason why I
Speaker 1: keep saying that is because the judge is arguing and
Speaker 1: the court is believing that in order for Ditty to
Speaker 1: be convicted of prostitution charges.
Speaker 3: He had to be able to force the woman, he had.
Speaker 1: To be able to fear, he had to be able
Speaker 1: to all other things running enterprise where people protected what
Speaker 1: he was doing, and there's multiple people involved. And if
Speaker 1: obviously they're setting up you know, did he seeing lines
Speaker 1: for an appeal?
Speaker 2: Because Shapiro began to speak to that.
Speaker 1: But man, when I'm kids got up there, because now
Speaker 1: you have the quote west Moreland, she's crying and in
Speaker 1: tempera time.
Speaker 2: I'm telling y'all going into this, it's like, oh, they
Speaker 2: about to throw the book at him.
Speaker 1: They're not buying that this man it was an addict
Speaker 1: who made mistakes.
Speaker 2: They're not ying it.
Speaker 3: They're not buying the down plan of decision to be.
Speaker 1: Casty up and down the hallway, as in, you know,
Speaker 1: a dark moment in time that he's now rehabilitated, this
Speaker 1: stuff from. And it was obvious that the court is
Speaker 1: not buying it. The quote West Marlin gets up, there's crying.
Speaker 1: She talked about the impact on the black community as
Speaker 1: a black woman, what it means to her, how she
Speaker 1: saw it Diddy speaking DC and you know how it
Speaker 1: moved her and all these things. And I think she
Speaker 1: was really trying to make the judge understand how much
Speaker 1: of a dessel Diddy is.
Speaker 2: He's better outside of a jail than inside, was her
Speaker 2: ending point. Then the kids get up the steep.
Speaker 1: I cried, y'all, like I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 1: And it wasn't because I feel bad for Diddy. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of the decisions that he's made has
Speaker 1: him up here. I wish him the best, though, But
Speaker 1: it was more and so about these kids did not
Speaker 1: choose this like they did not They did not choose
Speaker 1: to be in a situation.
Speaker 2: They did not choose a life that would end them up.
Speaker 1: In this courtroom, crying in front of all these people,
Speaker 1: all the headlines, all the one of.
Speaker 3: The twins, one of the comes means said please.
Speaker 1: Like she was begging the judge, sobbing, crying back in
Speaker 1: the judge, Judge, please allow us the opportunity to be healed.
Speaker 2: As a family and not as a heavenline.
Speaker 3: Christian was the first, Hey, how you doing?
Speaker 1: Christian was the first of I mean well, Quincy spoke first,
Speaker 1: then Justin, then Christian.
Speaker 2: But Christian was the most emotional. He was emotional first.
Speaker 1: So he talked about, you know, everybody knows Christian and
Speaker 1: Diddy's relationship, Diddia's relationship with all of his kids, but
Speaker 1: Christian is like the guy's twining, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So he talked about, you know, understanding and feeling his
Speaker 1: dad differently than even potentially some of his siblings, and knowing.
Speaker 3: That his dad has changed over time because of conversations.
Speaker 1: But when the girls begin to speak, Man Diddy's hands
Speaker 1: dropped into his head.
Speaker 2: He couldn't he was he was watching them.
Speaker 1: He had to turn away at some points, Like it was,
Speaker 1: it was really tough, Like it was, it was hard.
Speaker 2: I was crying.
Speaker 1: People sitting next to me who were crying. I'm looking
Speaker 1: in the courtroom on the monitor. You know, Diddy's breaking down.
Speaker 2: Got people.
Speaker 1: I saw Mesa Hilton crying, who was justin Colme's mom like.
Speaker 1: Then they played this video that shows all of his
Speaker 1: family interactions in these moments. Diddy couldn't even watch the video.
Speaker 1: And the craziest thing about all of this is from
Speaker 1: so the day we're on break for lunch, going into lunch,
Speaker 1: it ended emotionally heavy.
Speaker 3: Before that, it was very much the court.
Speaker 1: Is given no remorse to Diddy. And the whole time
Speaker 1: I kept thinking two things. These kids did not ask
Speaker 1: for this, and then I feel so bad for them.
Speaker 1: And another thing I thought of is Diddy's ego and
Speaker 1: his addiction.
Speaker 2: Is what ended us up here. And I just I
Speaker 2: wish and I hope that.
Speaker 1: When he speaks, he readjusts whatever he had planning, because
Speaker 1: it is very obvious that the judge is not you
Speaker 1: don't feel remorse from Diddy. And I think I think
Speaker 1: what would be most impactful to hear from Diddy today
Speaker 1: before court ends is he was an addict and what
Speaker 1: that really means, because I think people are removing that too,
Speaker 1: because I mean, obviously, because you saw a woman be
Speaker 1: beat on camera, so you're not gonna you don't sympathize
Speaker 1: with it with a.
Speaker 2: Woman abuser, and you shouldn't. But I think that there
Speaker 2: is something too.
Speaker 1: I'm remorseful, but not only am I remorseful now I
Speaker 1: understand exactly what it's fucked up to be able to
Speaker 1: begin to fix it. Do I think that the judge
Speaker 1: feels like the amount of time Diddy has been locked
Speaker 1: up it's enough time that has let him walk free
Speaker 1: with supervisor release.
Speaker 2: Hell no, I don't think that.
Speaker 1: I don't think that the judge is at right now
Speaker 1: as a court is like a little bit after one
Speaker 1: pm the sentencing of showing Diddy polones, I don't see
Speaker 1: a judge taking it easy.
Speaker 2: On him whatsoever.
Speaker 1: This is the latest with Lana Rose, and I'll be
Speaker 1: back at the end of court to give you guys,
Speaker 1: you know, some talk on whatever happened. At the end
Speaker 1: of each episode. I tell you, guys, I am always
Speaker 1: appreciative for you guys tuning in my lowriders who've been
Speaker 1: rocking out with me, born or not.
