Speaker 1: Hi, guys, welcome to another episode of Legally Brunette. We're
Speaker 1: going to be doing some updates first on Menindez and
Speaker 1: also a little bit on Blake Lively until we get
Speaker 1: into the majority of this episode, which will be Ditty,
Speaker 1: because as I'm sure you all know or you will know,
Speaker 1: he is currently on trial as we speak. So because
Speaker 1: we're going to be talking about Diddy, let's just go
Speaker 1: into a little bit about how in this episode we
Speaker 1: will be talking extensively about sexual abuse, domestic violence, grooming
Speaker 1: and the effects that they have on victims. If you
Speaker 1: or anyone you know needs help, contact the National Sexual
Speaker 1: Assault Hotline at one eight hundred six' five six four
Speaker 1: six seven to. Three all, right just an update On.
Speaker 1: Menindez you, know we've been talking for months and months
Speaker 1: and months and months about how they have a re
Speaker 1: sentence in hearing coming up and then it's gotten, continued, continued.
Speaker 1: Continued actually it is happening as we. Speak The menindaz
Speaker 1: brothers resentencing hearing is happening today and. Tomorrow So Judge
Speaker 1: Michael jessic who is over who is overseeing the case,
Speaker 1: today they could be they could get an actual well
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be today because the hearing's slated for two,
Speaker 1: days so today's the first day and tomorrow is a.
Speaker 1: Second AND i do know that The meninda's attorneys have
Speaker 1: some expert witnesses that they're going to have text. Testify
Speaker 1: i'm not sure exactly what the expert witnesses, are BUT
Speaker 1: i would guess something in the lines of children and sexual,
Speaker 1: abuse psychology and something like. That, ALSO i do know
Speaker 1: that one of the issues was do you remember the governor,
Speaker 1: ordered because of the possibility of him taking it on
Speaker 1: the clemency, hearing that he ordered a risk, Assessment so
Speaker 1: they also wanted to have the risk. Assessment he just
Speaker 1: wanted to be a part of. It he's, like, hey
Speaker 1: what CAN i?
Speaker 2: Do, yeah he, should we should do a risk assessment on,
Speaker 2: him that he needs a risk.
Speaker 1: Assessment, well, anyway they wanted to get the results of
Speaker 1: the risk assessment so they could use that in the resentencing. Hearing,
Speaker 1: apparently according to the, Assessment eric And lyle pose a
Speaker 1: moderate risk to public safety if they are. Released what
Speaker 1: do you think about? That a moderate?
Speaker 2: Risk, WELL i guess inherently anyone that comes out of
Speaker 2: prison for SOME i, mean, yeah he could be what
Speaker 2: if he's abused again and he wants to kill the
Speaker 2: next person that abused.
Speaker 3: Him, well they arguably that's you, KNOW.
Speaker 1: I, know but that was a good point you were
Speaker 1: making in the, beginning where you said anyone who comes
Speaker 1: out of prison could moderately be a moderate risk just
Speaker 1: because of the things that they, mean.
Speaker 2: You're, RISK i have a moderate risk to the.
Speaker 1: PUBLIC i. Agree, yes you're at deaf con too right. Now, yes,
Speaker 1: So Eric menindez allegedly bond traded drugs and allegedly helped
Speaker 1: inmates commit tax fraud years, ago according to the, assessment
Speaker 1: and the psychologists also found That Lyle menindez is a.
Speaker 1: Narcissist so, ANYWAY i guess that makes them moderate.
Speaker 2: Risk, yeah but how many narcissists are there In? California
Speaker 2: jail them all you can to do a risk assessment
Speaker 2: on all of.
Speaker 1: THEM i don't. KNOW i, MEAN i guess these are
Speaker 1: just the findings so that the parole board has something
Speaker 1: to work with to determine whether they would be you,
Speaker 1: know if they do go.
Speaker 2: THERE i think it's the job, security it's everyone wanting
Speaker 2: to say they're a part of, this you, know And
Speaker 2: i'm important AND i need, to you, know contribute and
Speaker 2: blah blah blah newsoms they're, SAYING i have to be
Speaker 2: a part of.
Speaker 1: This you. Know there was an additional finding and the
Speaker 1: risk assessment that included the use of unauthorized cell phones
Speaker 1: by both. Brothers eric allegedly had won as recently As
Speaker 1: january of twenty twenty. Five during the ongoing recencing, process
Speaker 1: prosecutors cited these violations as indicators that the brothers might
Speaker 1: not follow laws if. Released you, KNOW i don't know
Speaker 1: if that's actually a good. ARGUMENT i feel like when
Speaker 1: you're in, prison you're just abiding by prison, Law like
Speaker 1: you're just doing whatever you need to do to survive
Speaker 1: to a certain. Extent and if you can get a
Speaker 1: hold of a cell phone and other inmates are using
Speaker 1: cell phones and you can communicate with, SOMEONE i don't
Speaker 1: know IF i would be, like, No i'm not going
Speaker 1: to do. That that's. BAD i, mean IF i could
Speaker 1: send a selfie to somebody and have a little a
Speaker 1: little but it's.
Speaker 2: RULES i. Understand you want you want your kids to
Speaker 2: come to you and be, like, HEY i was just
Speaker 2: sending a little.
Speaker 1: Selfie all my friends do it late at. Night, OH i, know.
Speaker 2: It's the, idea it's the idea of being. Disciplined, NO
Speaker 2: i get, it But i'm just.
Speaker 1: Saying it just feels like the infractions Aren't yeah they're they're,
Speaker 1: yeah they're. Minor they've been in prison for thirty five,
Speaker 1: years and this is.
Speaker 2: They've just he may use his cell phone pastel, Phone,
Speaker 2: yeah in the late.
Speaker 1: Hours so we will follow, that see what happens if
Speaker 1: if the judge decides to resentence the they could then
Speaker 1: immediately go before a parole. Board so and there's always
Speaker 1: the clemency we're out with the. Governor so we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens with the.
Speaker 2: Recentcing has the resensing ever gone backwards but like more? Horrific, yeah.
Speaker 2: EXACTLY i don't think that's the point of. RESENSING i don't,
Speaker 2: know but is that a risk that you get when
Speaker 2: YOU i don't, know only you would think of that.
Speaker 2: Question thank you for.
Speaker 1: That all, right here's a little update On Blake lively
Speaker 1: And Justin. Baldoni if you don't know a lot about this,
Speaker 1: case you want to learn, more we do have some
Speaker 1: previous episodes that are pretty in. Depth as to, Again
Speaker 1: i'm going to guess the, update what's the update.
Speaker 2: She's a, narcissist she's a moderate. Risk, yes she's a,
Speaker 2: nut and Poor baldoni is trying to make. Films.
Speaker 1: Yes so the new update is That Taylor swift has
Speaker 1: been subpoened in The Blake lively Justin baldoni, Case so
Speaker 1: we will see what happens with. That, obviously her side
Speaker 1: is going to, say, well let's see they.
Speaker 2: Did are they friends? Still are they gonna.
Speaker 1: You, Know i've SEEN i don't, Know i've read articles
Speaker 1: and seeing reports that said that there's bad blood between
Speaker 1: the two of, them That Taylor swift had zero desire
Speaker 1: to be included in this. Lawsuit, yeah of course she.
Speaker 1: Does and SO i DON'T i don't think that SHE'S
Speaker 1: i would guess that she's not very happy about.
Speaker 2: Being well when she has kind of a squeaky clean
Speaker 2: and right, YEAH i don't mean like just, personally BUT
Speaker 2: i mean she's you, know we hear stories of her
Speaker 2: taking care of her tour. Group you, know she's, like
Speaker 2: she hasn't done anything that would be questionable as far
Speaker 2: as the business side of, her the artist side of,
Speaker 2: Her hollywood all that. Stuff so this she's probably just,
Speaker 2: like what is? THIS i don't want any part of.
Speaker 2: This she probably didn't even know what a subpoena.
Speaker 1: Was. YEAH i don't think she's ever been. WELL i,
Speaker 1: mean she's been involved in some legal. Things when it
Speaker 1: came to her, music her music.
Speaker 2: Catalog, yeah she SAID i want my music and then
Speaker 2: someone went out and bought it for and here it.
Speaker 2: IS i don't think she actually like drafted up the
Speaker 2: contracts or.
Speaker 1: Anything so in a statement TO, Cnn Taylor swift's spokesperson
Speaker 1: clarified That swift never visited the, set had no role
Speaker 1: in casting or creative, input did not score or review the,
Speaker 1: film and only saw it weeks after its release due
Speaker 1: to her busy travel schedule throughout twenty twenty three and
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Four and her busy travel schedule is, like,
Speaker 1: HEY i was on the arastour making billions of. DOLLARS
Speaker 1: i have no idea what's going on with? This measley
Speaker 1: did do a?
Speaker 3: Movie What Blake?
Speaker 1: WHO i have bigger things going on in my.
Speaker 3: Life it's Like I'VE i count by the billions my.
Speaker 2: Money.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah the only Connection swift has to the, movie
Speaker 1: this spokesperson, explained was the licensing of her Song My Tears.
Speaker 1: Ricochet they emphasized that she was just one of twenty
Speaker 1: artists who licensed music for the, project and argued that
Speaker 1: the subpoena mentioning her appears aimed at exploiting her public
Speaker 1: profile to attract, attention rather than serving a legitimate legal. Purpose,
Speaker 1: however let's remember that what Blake lively alleges is, that
Speaker 1: remember there was that creative meeting that happened in her
Speaker 1: townhouse and Apparently Taylor swift was, there and she referred
Speaker 1: To Taylor swift And ryan as her.
Speaker 2: Dragons, yeah and how many other people were there and
Speaker 2: they're not subpoenaing? Them oh, no they Subpoena, yeah but
Speaker 2: there definitely this is a do you want us to you,
Speaker 2: know is this is a little leverage to try to
Speaker 2: Get blake L it's, like if you want to preserve
Speaker 2: your relationship with Miss swifty, whatever then you know you
Speaker 2: might want to.
Speaker 1: Settle, well THEN i would say that it was a.
Speaker 2: Smartrategy, yeah, absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 1: Strategic move On Brian. Friedman and it's a smart move.
Speaker 1: Absolutely Blake lively's lawyer reveals that she will testify in,
Speaker 1: trial So Blake lively is expected to take the witness
Speaker 1: stand in her. Trial Against Justin. Baldoni according to her,
Speaker 1: Attorney Mike, gottlieb the actress will testify as part of the,
Speaker 1: proceedings making a significant moment for her to share her
Speaker 1: side of the. Story, Again i'm just going to go
Speaker 1: back TO i don't know how she's going to look
Speaker 1: good even. TESTIFYING i can't even watch her in. INTERVIEWS
Speaker 1: i think she's so.
Speaker 2: Narcissistic so it's gonna be. Great it's gonna be like
Speaker 2: The amber heard thing it is it.
Speaker 1: Really Isn't and the fact that she can't see that
Speaker 1: and she doesn't want to bow out, somehow like there
Speaker 1: isn't an exit strategy that she's trying to figure out
Speaker 1: at this. POINT i don't get, it even after Last so.
Speaker 2: What message would that send if she dismissed everything or
Speaker 2: walked away or. Whatever what would That what would that?
Speaker 2: Send that would be, Like, YEAH i made a big
Speaker 2: deal about my sexual, harassment But i'm okay with, this
Speaker 2: letting it got.
Speaker 1: Well so you're saying that she's just in it too
Speaker 1: deep and she has to continue no matter. WHY i,
Speaker 1: guess and she probably got an. EGO i, mean she's
Speaker 1: got a serious pr team out, there just churning out the.
Speaker 1: Articles every TIME i look at anything on social, media it's, okay, magazine,
Speaker 1: people magazine just writing these random stories about, her and
Speaker 1: it's just all.
Speaker 2: Over she's like the top one, hundred like influential people or.
Speaker 2: Something time.
Speaker 1: One, yeah and then she talked about her mom's domestic
Speaker 1: abuse or. SOMETHING i think we talked about that in
Speaker 1: the last, episode about how it was a little too.
Speaker 1: Late she never she never made that known when she
Speaker 1: was promoting a movie that had to do with domestic. Violence,
Speaker 1: however she comes back later and wants to talk about
Speaker 1: it and bring light to, it and it just felt
Speaker 1: it just felt. Contrived, yeah, anyway let's move on From
Speaker 1: baldoni And. Lively of, course we will continue to follow
Speaker 1: what happens in that. Case they're not slated to go
Speaker 1: to trial UNTIL i Believe march of twenty twenty, six
Speaker 1: but clearly there will be proceedings up until that. Point All, right.
Speaker 2: Hopefully some social media like back and.
Speaker 1: Forth like what you like when he Didn't, BILL i.
Speaker 2: Saw something other day did In, baldoni like post something
Speaker 2: with him and kids or, something and it's like the first,
Speaker 2: time it's like the first sign of. Life, yeah he's had.
Speaker 1: It his mother say he focused photo of. HIMSELF i
Speaker 1: think it was with his mother or with his wife
Speaker 1: and his. Children it was a really pretty. PHOTO i
Speaker 1: think he's In hawaii hiding out or not hiding, out
Speaker 1: but he probably just wants to remove. Himself he's got
Speaker 1: a whole team of, Attorneys he's Got Brian. Friedman they're
Speaker 1: dealing with, it and he's In hawaii just you, know
Speaker 1: trying to live his best. Life all, right let's move
Speaker 1: on to the trial Of Sean Diddy. Combs So Shann
Speaker 1: combs is facing a federal trial In manhattan on charges
Speaker 1: including racketeering, conspiracy two charges of sex, trafficking and two
Speaker 1: charges of transportation to engage in. Prostitution if you don't
Speaker 1: understand what racketeering, is racketeering is a conspiracy that involves
Speaker 1: an agreement between two or more people to participate in
Speaker 1: a criminal. Enterprise if you've ever heard the.
Speaker 2: Term rico, rackteing influence corrupt.
Speaker 1: ORGANIZATION i was going to ask you if you knew
Speaker 1: What rico said, for but you just you say it, again.
Speaker 3: Racketeering influence corrupt.
Speaker 2: ORGANIZATION i, think, yes that's.
Speaker 1: Right so AGAIN i like to give you all a
Speaker 1: little party. Trick if you're just out and about with
Speaker 1: a group of friends talking about This Sean Diddy comb's,
Speaker 1: case you can tell people WHAT rico stands. For, again
Speaker 1: it's It's it involves an agreement between two or more
Speaker 1: people to participate in a criminal, enterprise often involving illegal
Speaker 1: activities to achieve a. Profit the key difference from racketeering
Speaker 1: itself is that conspiracy charges don't require proof that the
Speaker 1: enterprise actually existed or that it affected did interstate, commerce et. Cetera,
Speaker 1: basically what it comes down, to wasn't THE rico statute
Speaker 1: initiated d for? Mobs wasn't That that's why it came.
Speaker 2: About, yeah and all they like their garbage trucks and
Speaker 2: stuff or, something the garbage trucks, Garbage but they're really
Speaker 2: just laundering a bunch of.
Speaker 1: Money, Right SO rico came about due to. Cleaners, yeah
Speaker 1: so that was the whole conspiracy in the organized crime all.
Speaker 1: Right central to the allegations are events referred to as quote,
Speaker 1: freakoffs which were organized By combs and his. Associates this
Speaker 1: is the this is the conspiracy racketeering part Is basically
Speaker 1: it's an entire criminal enterprise where there's people who know
Speaker 1: about what's going. On that's the conspiracy, Party like.
Speaker 2: The organization was set up to commit, crimes, Right.
Speaker 1: This, organization this, enterprise allegedly was set up to have
Speaker 1: these sex fueled crazy. Freakoffs these gatherings allegedly involved drug
Speaker 1: fueled sex acts with coerced, participants including sex workers and
Speaker 1: women Under combs. Inflow the indictment claims That combs filmed
Speaker 1: these encounters without consent and used the footage to then
Speaker 1: manipulate and control the individuals. Involved now all of these
Speaker 1: women and there are some men that have come forward
Speaker 1: and made these allegations Against. Diddy it goes all the
Speaker 1: way back to the, Nineties like this is something that
Speaker 1: allegedly has been going on for a.
Speaker 2: Long all the way back to The Puff, daddy.
Speaker 1: All the way back to when he Was Puff. Daddy
Speaker 1: then he became P, Ditty and THEN i was watching
Speaker 1: a documentary on him a couple of nights ago and
Speaker 1: he changed his name again for the third. Time did
Speaker 1: you know that he's Now Sean Love. Combs he changed
Speaker 1: it To. LOVE i think that.
Speaker 2: Was probably after allegations he started to come should be
Speaker 2: Like sean and then like his cell, number, yes you,
Speaker 2: know and then his name his last, NAME i, thought
Speaker 2: because HE i feel like he changed his name again
Speaker 2: for a third time after like these allegations started to come,
Speaker 2: out and he's trying, to you, know st, rebranding LIKE
Speaker 2: i haven't already brand myself To. Sean it's like, consensual
Speaker 2: Like Kentucky chicken NOW, Kfc it's, like, okay good JOB.
Speaker 1: X one of the key pieces of evidence THAT i
Speaker 1: think really made this case explode is the twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: hotel surveillance video Showing combs assaulting his then, girlfriend Singer Cassie. Ventura,
Speaker 1: ventura who has since settled a civil lawsuit Against combs
Speaker 1: for an undisclosed, amount is expected to testify in the.
Speaker 1: Trial actually she is testifying. Today so the trial AGAINST U,
Speaker 1: diddy it's a federal trial started. YESTERDAY i believe there
Speaker 1: were two witness. Yesterday we'll get into, that And Cassie
Speaker 1: ventura is actually testifying.
Speaker 2: Today is she the one in the hotel? Room, yes
Speaker 2: in the, Video so they.
Speaker 1: HAD i don't know if you want to call it
Speaker 1: a relationship whatever for like ten to eleven years that
Speaker 1: she was with him.
Speaker 2: A lot of freak.
Speaker 1: COFs that's a lot of freak. Coughs, yeah, so AND
Speaker 1: i think so she sued him in a civil, lawsuit
Speaker 1: AND i it is my understanding she has for thirty.
Speaker 1: Million he settled the lawsuit immediately with her for an
Speaker 1: unders closed him. OUT i don't have any.
Speaker 2: Idea less than thirty, million.
Speaker 1: Likely less than thirty but probably a significater.
Speaker 2: Than, zero less than thirty, million exactly somewhere in.
Speaker 1: There somewhere in there they settled it undisclosed. Amount clearly
Speaker 1: there's AN nda or something that goes along with. That,
Speaker 1: however she is now testifying against him in the federal.
Speaker 1: Case SO i thought it was interesting that she settled
Speaker 1: the civil case quickly with, him but now she's testifying
Speaker 1: and maybe.
Speaker 2: MAYBE i don't really. Know i'm discussing maybe the federal
Speaker 2: subpoena or Whatever Trump's they're, like maybe THE. Nda the
Speaker 2: non disclosure agreement is, LIKE i won't initiate, anything nothing,
Speaker 2: civilly nothing, privately nothing on social, media that kind of,
Speaker 2: stuff AND i won't disclose. Anything but if she gets fed, government,
Speaker 2: yeah and The feds come, in then she's got to.
Speaker 2: Talk she can't be LIKE i promised P. DIDDY i
Speaker 2: wouldn't say.
Speaker 1: ANYTHING i got a check And i'm not allowed to. Talk.
Speaker 1: Right combs has pleaded not guilty to all, charges and the,
Speaker 1: trial like we just, said began. Yesterday let's talk about
Speaker 1: the jury BECAUSE i think that's. INTERESTING i believe it's
Speaker 1: eight men for. Women what do you think about?
Speaker 2: THAT i, mean it's probably going to be a verdict
Speaker 2: of four to, eight you, think for, guilty eight not,
Speaker 2: guilty and then they're going to magically have invitations in
Speaker 2: the next freak off they want to. Get isn't he
Speaker 2: like he does witness. Intimidation, yeah well that's why he
Speaker 2: was So now maybe he's, like you're, On i'm not intimidating.
Speaker 2: Them i'm inviting him.
Speaker 1: Off my competitions. Them it's like a golden. Ticket, yeah all,
Speaker 1: right let's just do a little timeline and let's just
Speaker 1: go through some of these. Allegations CAN i stop right?
Speaker 2: There?

Speaker 1: that he's, violent that he's, abusive that he's, kinky that
Speaker 1: he likes to have lots of, sex that he enjoys baby,
Speaker 1: right that he enjoys baby. Oil SO i think.

Speaker 1: Right so basically what they're saying, is, hey we're not
Speaker 1: trying to, hide we're not trying to make it like
Speaker 1: he's just this great, guy like he's into kinky, sex
Speaker 1: he's kind of he likes baby.
Speaker 3: Oil he's, violent doesn't?
Speaker 1: Everybody but but there's no you, know sex, trafficking and
Speaker 1: there's no you, know it's, consensual. Right that is the
Speaker 1: defense's claim is that everyone involved in all of this
Speaker 1: and these freak offs are all consenting, adults all. Right

Speaker 2: Industry sometimes it's, Like, oh all these people are it's
Speaker 2: just a money, grab, Right, like oh, YEAH i want
Speaker 2: in on. That that's that's a fair.
Speaker 1: Thought it is when someone has the amount of money
Speaker 1: that he has in the power it. Is it.
Speaker 2: Is but if if he if were at like a
Speaker 2: bar or, something WHICH i wouldn't be at a, bar
Speaker 2: you'd never find me a.
Speaker 1: Bar you? Ever have you ever been in a? Bar
Speaker 1: shane has been in a.
Speaker 2: Bar i've been in a bar just to like tell
Speaker 2: you it's time to go home or. Something your kids
Speaker 2: are waiting for.
Speaker 1: You, okay why do you want to make me?
Speaker 2: Dding but if, okay IF i was, in IF i
Speaker 2: was at in and out and he did he came, in,
Speaker 2: yeah and he grabbed my. Butt he ordered a double
Speaker 2: double when he, left it would be hard for me to, think, like,
Speaker 2: OH i can't sue this, guy like he's how do
Speaker 2: you even get a hold of? Him what DO i?
Speaker 2: Do slip in those dms and Say i'm gonna see,
Speaker 2: It like how do? You where do you?
Speaker 1: Start you would hire an attorney if EVERY i.
Speaker 2: Know but sometimes you think he's too far, up he's
Speaker 2: too way out. There no one's gonna. Touchable, yeah oh
Speaker 2: he's got more money than. Me he's gonna blow out my.
Speaker 2: Car but then IF i see that everyone else is
Speaker 2: suing him, now he's under the, spotlight and it's, like
Speaker 2: oh you know, what, okay, fine, yeah me. Too he
Speaker 2: did that to, me and so it's easier to THINK
Speaker 2: i also want to sue him because he screwed me.
Speaker 1: Over, yeah you, KNOW i wonder If cassie knew that
Speaker 1: that video was going to be leaked and that's what
Speaker 1: gave her the you, know gave her the will power
Speaker 1: to sue him.
Speaker 2: Civilly, YEAH i don't, know because she didn't sue him
Speaker 2: until after that video was.
Speaker 1: Released, No, no So cassie sued him civilly in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Three then the video came out in twenty twenty. Four
Speaker 1: but my thought, processes did she know that the video
Speaker 1: was going to come out at some? POINT i, mean
Speaker 1: did that give her like the willpower to Say i'm
Speaker 1: going to do it because there's some evidence it? Is
Speaker 1: because it is one thing and we all know. This
Speaker 1: it is one thing to write down things that are
Speaker 1: horrific in print in a petition and an a legal document.
Speaker 2: And say he chased me down the, hallway, right he
Speaker 2: pulled me, down he kicked. Me you're, like, oh, yeah
Speaker 2: that's not. Good but then when you see these the
Speaker 2: videos of that, happening it's, like oh he kicked. You oh,
Speaker 2: wow he grabbed, you and three like you're like.
Speaker 1: Wow BECAUSE i feel like that is when the public
Speaker 1: opinion of him completely.
Speaker 2: TURNED i think HE i think it kicked her like
Speaker 2: she was a soccer.
Speaker 1: Ball, yeah BECAUSE i think it's easy for people to, say,
Speaker 1: oh he's getting. Sued people allege, this people say, this.
Speaker 2: It got a little.
Speaker 3: Heated, no this is when you see.
Speaker 1: It you can't turn away from. It you for your
Speaker 1: perception of him is forever changed when you see that.
Speaker 1: Video all. Right so then In march Of march twenty
Speaker 1: fifth of twenty twenty, four federal agent search didties. Homes
Speaker 1: clearly this is a coordinated search because they searched his
Speaker 1: home In miami And Los angeles. Simultaneously federal agents seized
Speaker 1: a variety of. Items have you seen the video of.

Speaker 1: forward and. Sue crystal, McKinney a model and, actress filed
Speaker 1: a lawsuit claiming that in two thousand and, Three Sean

Speaker 1: inappropriately touched, her subjected her to verbal, abuse and opposed
Speaker 1: excessive work demands during their professional. Relationship you know who
Speaker 1: also has always spoken out Against, ditty AND i think
Speaker 1: she probably took a lot of slack because of. It
Speaker 1: AND i saw an interview with her ON tmz With
Speaker 1: harvey Is aubrey O. Day she's always she always has,
Speaker 1: yes BUT i feel like she was one of the only,
Speaker 1: ones AND i think she probably took a lot of
Speaker 1: slagg she.
Speaker 2: Did she she never claimed that he harassed her or
Speaker 2: sexually harassed her or, anything. RIGHT i think she was
Speaker 2: just talking about because it wasn't she involved in some reality.
Speaker 1: Show it was the group making the band or, whatever
Speaker 1: and it was that girl group Called Danity.
Speaker 2: KING i, thought without remembering, EXACTLY i thought it was
Speaker 2: more like he screwed over like business, wise like he
Speaker 2: was a terrible person and you, know like all kinds
Speaker 2: of promises or maybe exploiting, her you, know stuff like. That,
Speaker 2: yeah she.
Speaker 1: Does she did a recent interview THAT i watched With
Speaker 1: harvey FROM, tmz and she was very careful about what she.
Speaker 1: SAID i think she made it clear that she had
Speaker 1: known about his, character BUT i think she also chose
Speaker 1: her words, carefully especially when you're a woman and you're
Speaker 1: in the music industry and you're, alone and you don't
Speaker 1: you're the only ones speaking up against. Them what about
Speaker 1: like J?
Speaker 2: Loo weren't they together for a long?
Speaker 1: Time they? Were and how does she not even come?
Speaker 2: Out don't don't usually people come out and, say LIKE
Speaker 2: testi five their good character or they don't believe that
Speaker 2: to be. True she hasn't said.
Speaker 1: ANYTHING i forget that they. Did but you know WHAT
Speaker 1: i was, thinking BECAUSE i was watching this documentary about
Speaker 1: the fall Of ditty the other day and they brought
Speaker 1: up do you remember the nightclub incident Where diddy was
Speaker 1: there with J lo and there were the people, Died
Speaker 1: there was shots. FIRED i don't know that. One, yeah
Speaker 1: and he was there was a woman that was shot
Speaker 1: in the face and she, said did he had a?
Speaker 1: Firearm he had a gone in his hand and he shot.
Speaker 1: Me and he went on trial and he was.
Speaker 2: Acquitted did he win on? Trial?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Charges, yes the nineteen ninety Nine this guy's at
Speaker 1: the height of his career ninety, nine, right HE'S.
Speaker 2: I never really followed.
Speaker 1: Him, okay well he's Bad Boy. Records he, had you,
Speaker 1: Know Biggie smalls was on his, Label Faith. Evans he did,
Speaker 1: that you, know After biggie was, shot he did the,
Speaker 1: song oh, yeah The sting, song and that was.
Speaker 2: Huge and, YEAH i never one thought he.
Speaker 1: Was he was just that was the top of his
Speaker 1: game in ninety. Nine like he's this was The east,
Speaker 1: Coast west, coast you, know Death Row records versus Bad Boy.
Speaker 1: RECORDS i, mean he. Was it's huge, still BUT i
Speaker 1: mean he was, huge And i'm saying he got out of.
Speaker 1: That he got out of those. Charges SO i think
Speaker 1: that makes someone feel, invincible like they can.
Speaker 2: Do, yeah you don't know how many times that he's
Speaker 2: probably done something and someone complained and he cuts him
Speaker 2: a check for fifty, grand which is, nothing and then
Speaker 2: has him signed something and they walk away and that's, it,
Speaker 2: Right and he, thinks CAN i can keep slapping women
Speaker 2: around in no big.
Speaker 1: Deal you get away with.
Speaker 2: It and then you get more and more and. More
Speaker 2: next you, know you're in a hotel lobby beating up some.
Speaker 1: Woman, yeah and you're doing freak offs and you're having
Speaker 1: prostitutes brought in And september sixteenth of twenty twenty, Four
Speaker 1: Sham combs is. Arrested he was arrested in A manhattan
Speaker 1: hotel room after a grand jury Indictment september, seventeenth which
Speaker 1: is the following day after he was. Arrested that's when
Speaker 1: his charges are made. Public that's what we talked about

Speaker 1: fueled sexual encounters involving male sex. Workers if he's found,
Speaker 1: guilty he could face life in. Prison like we, Said
Speaker 1: combs has denied all the charges by pleading not. Guilty
Speaker 1: this is interesting to me just Because i'm an, attorney
Speaker 1: so these things are. Interesting but his attorney Is Mark,
Speaker 1: agnafhillo And mark's wife is Representing Luigi, mangioni And mark
Speaker 1: is Representing. Ditty, Also ditty's second defense lawyer Is Tenny,
Speaker 1: garrigos who Is Mark geragos's daughter And Mark. GARRIGOS i
Speaker 1: don't think he's on officially On ditty's defense. Team, however
Speaker 1: he has been seen In manhattan in the court and
Speaker 1: he's made some. STATEMENTS i know he was admonished for
Speaker 1: making a statement on his. Podcast you know he has
Speaker 1: that podcast With harvey FROM. Tmz he made friend or.
Speaker 1: Something well he said did he's his friend and he's
Speaker 1: going to support. Him but he also said that he
Speaker 1: was being prosecuted by a six pack of white, women
Speaker 1: and so he was because all the prosecutors are women
Speaker 1: and they're all, white and he Was gerago said, that
Speaker 1: and so he got a does that have to do.
Speaker 1: ANYTHING i think he was trying to make it a race,
Speaker 1: thing And i'm, like let's take race out of it
Speaker 1: and look at.
Speaker 2: The look at the.
Speaker 1: Allegation, Deer LIKE i, MEAN i don't, Know but, ANYWAY
Speaker 1: i know he was admonished by the. JUDGE i think
Speaker 1: he was brought into the judges chambers and he had
Speaker 1: he had to be talked to about his public. Statements
Speaker 1: BUT i don't think he's actually part of the defense.
Speaker 1: TEAM i think maybe he's consulting or or JUST i don't.

Speaker 1: lawsuits are filed Against. Combs ten new lawsuits were filed
Speaker 1: ahead of the deadline For New York's Gender Motivated Violence,
Speaker 1: act which gave victims a two year window to lodge
Speaker 1: historic cases that would previously have been too old to
Speaker 1: come to. Trial all, right so now these are all the,
Speaker 1: Victims these are all the people that came. Forward these
Speaker 1: are the allegations so. Far the, more, Oh i'm sure
Speaker 1: there's tons, more but this is what we know of so.
Speaker 1: Far yesterday the trial. Began the jury of twelve is.
Speaker 1: Chosen it's eight men and four. Women we just talked about,
Speaker 1: that and there's also six. Alternates. ALSO i do KNOW
Speaker 1: i read some articles before jury selection that there were
Speaker 1: jurors that were backing. OUT i think there was one
Speaker 1: that sent an email that, said like he feared for his.
Speaker 1: Life AND i know we discussed this the other, day
Speaker 1: but you were saying that the reason he wasn't granted
Speaker 1: bail was because it's not even witness. Intimidation with this, intimidation, right,
Speaker 1: so which probably was previously happened in the firearms incident
Speaker 1: of nineteen ninety. NINE i bet some.
Speaker 2: Of these witnesses that are just like, dude this is
Speaker 2: gonna be a long trial And i'm getting paid. Nothing
Speaker 2: or they're like school you.
Speaker 1: Talking about the, witnesses are talking about the.
Speaker 2: Jurors, yeah the school teaters are, like, wait summer's coming.
Speaker 2: UP i don't want to be on try to eat
Speaker 2: during my summer, break, Right so they're probably, Like i'm.
Speaker 1: Intimidated so the panel was supposed to be selected On,
Speaker 1: friday which was last. Week Last, friday but the judge
Speaker 1: had concerns that jurors would get cold feet over the
Speaker 1: weekend and drop out of the, trial so he decided
Speaker 1: to delay the selection Until monday, morning which was yesterday.
Speaker 1: Morning combs appeared in court wearing a casual sweater and
Speaker 1: acknowledged his, family who were seated in the gallery by
Speaker 1: blowing a kiss and making a heart gesture with his.
Speaker 1: Hands because he Is Sean Love Combs. Now at times
Speaker 1: when testimony became especially, explicit three Of combe's daughters left the.
Speaker 1: COURTROOM i can't. IMAGINE i feel like the majority of
Speaker 1: the testimony is probably. Explicit we're talking about sex trafficking
Speaker 1: and you, know conspiracy to commit.
Speaker 2: Sexual, activities and, no they're not going to talk about accounting, error,
Speaker 2: right SO i feel like they're going to be living.
Speaker 1: On, time, Right they're going to be leaving the courtroom quite.
Speaker 1: Often so the prosecution starts with their opening, statement which was.
Speaker 1: Yesterday the prosecution is made up of entirely of, women
Speaker 1: and they began the opening statement by Contrasting comb's public
Speaker 1: image as a music mogul and entrepreneur with what they
Speaker 1: described as a darker, reality alleging that he led a
Speaker 1: criminal operation involving his close. Associates ASSISTANT us Attorney Emily
Speaker 1: johnson described one alleged incident during a freak, off in
Speaker 1: Which combs allegedly told the, escort, remember because he brings
Speaker 1: male escorts him to urinate In ventura's, mouth this Is Cassie,
