WEBVTT - The Diddy Trial: “Mia” Takes the Stand 0:00:02.360 --> 0:00:06.320 Neither folks did. Is Friday, May thirtieth, the third week 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:09.240 of testimony in the Ditty trial is wrapping up today. 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.240 Welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ MTJ Holmes 0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:14.680 alongside my partner Amy Roboch and we continue to be 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:17.279 your one stop shop to get you caught up on 0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:19.840 everything going on in the Ditty trial day in and 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:25.240 day out and robes. I don't know how to keep 0:00:25.320 --> 0:00:31.280 being surprised, shocked, horrified by what we hear. We've heard 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:33.720 so much already, but then another day now is in 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:37.040 the books. Were very important witness and here we go again. 0:00:37.159 --> 0:00:38.360 We can't believe what we heard. 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:42.680 I know this witness in particular actually testified anonymously. She 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:46.320 went under the name or the pseudonym of Mia, but 0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:50.760 she was one of Ditty's personal assistants who claims and 0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:55.160 testified that she was raped and sexually assaulted by Ditty. 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:59.640 And she was up there weeping on the stand. And yeah, 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:03.200 to your point, you think you've heard it all. And 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:07.280 these witnesses are consistent the picture that they are painting, 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.920 the stories that are telling are all consistent with this 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:17.960 theme of Diddy being a horrifically violent and angry man 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.880 who did whatever he wanted to whommeever he wanted, when 0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:26.000 he wanted, and it's just appalling if you're believing what 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:29.280 each of these witnesses are testifying to. They are painting 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:33.480 the picture of an evil, maniacal tyrant. 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:35.120 And we do have to give your heads up. Some 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:37.679 of the stuff you're going to hear in this episode 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:41.960 here quite disturbing and probably farther than we have gone 0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:43.920 before in some of the stuff. But it's important for 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.840 to get the story across for what they were saying 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.840 on the stand. But rose to your point about we 0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.040 have heard so much about freak coughs. You think you've 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:54.560 heard it all. This witness offered some more extra detail 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:58.040 that we were still like, Eh, we've heard so much. 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.000 And they're telling almost the same but they're coming from 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.800 different perspectives, they have different details, and each time they're 0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:07.880 adding something to the story. But to your point, it's consistent. 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:09.760 The stories line up. 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.560 They really do, and they're all like each witness that 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.680 gets on the stand is corroborating what the witness before 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:18.480 them said and before them said, and then making it 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.760 feel and seem and appear to be even worse than 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.200 we originally thought so. 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:27.360 Yeah, yesterday, the day started with Deontae Nash on the 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.880 stand celebrity stylists who had been up on the stand 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.560 the day before, testifying to all kind of horrific things 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.320 he saw. But we were looking I say looking forward 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.280 to not in a pleasant way, but a lot of 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.680 people were highly anticipating the next witness that was going 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:41.760 to come up. We just mentioned her name, Mia, that's 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:45.440 all we know. But she's the former assistant to Ditty, 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:49.440 also a close friend to Cassie Ventura. Fine, this is 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:51.720 some of the most compelling stuff I have heard. It's 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.840 not just compelling robes in what she said, but how 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.799 a lot of court room observers described her demeanor and 0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.840 how she talked up there. Yes, the crying and so 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.520 but they said she barely was able at times to 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.400 get above a whisper as she talked on the stand. 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.359 I saw that too, that that just spoke to It 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.400 was almost like it was hard to say it out loud, 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.520 so she had to say it softly in order to 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:15.880 get it out because it's powerful. 0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:17.880 That's exactly when she did, is when she had to 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:23.600 describe yes, being allegedly raped by Sean Combs or get 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.160 into some of those details. But before they started this 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.400 was we told her like how she possibly testifying in 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:32.920 court anonymously, so she was sitting there everybody in the 0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.080 court could see her. But the judge made pretty clear 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.200 early on how this was going to go, and he 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.960 gave them strict gave the court strict instructions. 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.800 At a time, there were to be no descriptions of 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.880 what Mia actually looked like. In fact, the courtroom sketch 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:52.400 artist drew a blank face. Now, the jurors did get 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.320 to know her name, so I think that's important to know. 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.600 She did put her name out there in the courtroom 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.320 and stood by what she was saying. But the entire 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.200 courtroom was instructed to not obviously repeat her name or 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:04.680 describe her in any way. 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.320 And she is critical. She is one of the ones 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.400 that the prosecution has built almost this entire case on. 0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:17.440 She is an alleged victim of Sean Ditty Combs. She 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.520 spent some really robes intimate time with him. It sounds like, yes, 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.320 she said she kept an apartment here in New York, 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.400 but as his assistant and being someone he needed all 0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.839 the time, she stayed at his homes with him, is 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:33.520 what she explained, and that is where I mean she 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:37.479 I think she even used countless times that assaults or 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.440 violence that she saw, but she described in particular robes 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.280 being at his house, a place where she said she 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.320 wasn't allowed to lock her door when she stayed there, 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.880 but she described an incident one day she was sleeping 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:51.520 there and she was awakened. 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:55.040 That's right. She says that Diddy, of course, yes forbade 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.880 her to lock her door in his home. So she 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.799 says he came into the room, climbed on top of her, 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:11.640 penetrated her, and she said that she was quietly just 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:13.480 taking it and just let him do what he was 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.400 going to do, because she said she felt like she 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:19.080 was unable to say no. She said she feared retaliation. 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.160 This quote that she said, or this testimony that she gave, 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.160 was jarring to me. Even though she's describing the rape, 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.719 she's describing what happened. When she said this, it made 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.159 me feel sick. She said, I couldn't tell him no 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:35.560 about a sandwich. I couldn't tell him no about anything. 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.400 There was no way I could tell him no, because 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:40.240 then he would know that I thought what he was 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.560 doing was wrong. And then I would be a target. 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.240 I mean, some books will try to I mean, it's 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.000 tough to get your hand around. It's tough to understand. 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.440 We've done stories and many people, most people in this country, 0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:55.159 are familiar or know someone in some way form of 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.960 fashion who's been probably a victim in some way of 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.000 sexual assault, sexual violence. 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:00.360 In some way. 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.800 It's always complex and to understand, well, why didn't she 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:05.720 just run, or why she didn't she just scream and 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:07.920 all these things. And this woman was explaining so much 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.520 of what was happening to her where she was asleep 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:12.880 in his house. The thing that woke her up, she said, 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.919 was the weight of someone on top of her. That 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:19.640 is how she woke up. And in that moment, she said, 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.040 she froze. He didn't say much of anything to her. Instead, 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.680 she said, he said, sh is how he was telling 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.520 her to behave. She said, she completely froze. He put 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.839 his hand down, took his mands off with one hand, 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.520 and put himself inside her. And she said she just 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.159 lay there and froze and didn't move. That's tough to hear, 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.159 and it's also tough to understand. But when she starts 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.560 to explain more of her story and that there is 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:48.120 fear that you must do what this man says. Are 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.400 you going to lose your job, You're going to lose 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.720 your career, You're gonna lose your future, and in some 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:56.920 cases you might lose your life. Is what these folks 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.080 describe being around this guy was. 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.599 I don't think it's hard to understand it all because 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:05.320 human beings either you either fight. You either fight or 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.640 you freeze. And the freezing thing I get as a woman, 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:13.800 I totally absolutely relate to that. And she described it 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:17.880 so chillingly, and she also talked about how that wasn't 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.320 the only time. I think she said it began in 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.480 her mid twenties when she started to work for him. 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.120 During one of his birthday parties, his fortieth birthday party 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.200 at the Plaza Hotel here in New York City, she 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.120 says Combs kissed her and put his hand up her 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.920 dress at the party, and she said she thought it 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:36.160 would never happen again, But then, of course, that incident 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.680 happened in that bedroom that she was staying at at 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.000 Ditty's house. But then she said another time she was 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.640 packing a back for him in his closet and he 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:49.000 came into the closet. She said, his penis was exposed. 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.920 She said, he grabbed her head and forced her to 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.360 give him oral sex um. 0:07:56.400 --> 0:08:00.200 She described, And again, I don't know if you up 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:01.440 in front of you there, I kind of remember on 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:03.720 the top of my head how long she worked for him. 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.720 I think it was a matter of several years, if 0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:10.480 I have this right. But she said every time there 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.000 was an assault, she saw it thought it was the 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:15.760 last time. It was interesting to hear her say when 0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:19.080 any assault was over, alleged assault was over, she just 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.240 went back to business as usual, just went back to 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.440 doing her job, and everybody just went about doing things 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.720 the way they were. But it was crazy to hear 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.320 every time it happened. She said, Okay, it's not gonna 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:30.840 happen again. If it does happen again, I'm going to 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:32.920 be ready. I'm going to be prepared. But there was 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:34.960 so much time in between them, there was no rhyme 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.839 or reason. They were completely random. So the next time 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.000 what happened comes out of nowhere. She said. There was 0:08:40.040 --> 0:08:43.760 just so much time and distance between the incidents that 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:45.240 you never knew when a way. 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:46.920 She would let her guard down. And by the way 0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:51.040 she worked for Diddy for eight years, beginning in two 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.280 thousand and nine, and she said the highs were really 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.600 high and the lows were really low. And we've heard 0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:00.360 that almost exact same sentiment repeated by other and says 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.199 who have taken the stand who have worked for Diddy. 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:06.240 But not only did she testify to sexual assaults, she 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:10.440 talked about what he physically assaulted her with. She said 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.160 he'd thrown her against the wall, he threw her into 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.839 a pool, he threw an ice bucket over her head, 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:19.640 He slammed her arm into a door. She talks about 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.720 how he threw a bowl of spaghetti at her head, 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:26.480 a computer at her head, WiFi went out right exactly 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.600 like for almost seemingly insignificant things or things she had 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.560 absolutely no control over. She would be suddenly the subject 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:36.600 of violence if he got pissed off. Basically, she also 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:40.560 said this, which I thought was just such an interesting thing, 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:43.000 and just get your head around where his head was. 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.120 She said, he could ask you to do seventeen thousand 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.840 things at one time that would range from cracking his 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.760 knuckles to writing his next movie to doing his taxes, 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:54.960 and he was all on a whim. You never knew 0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.000 when a request was coming, but if you couldn't figure 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.040 out how to do it, you might be in trouble. 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.440 I think it was a prosecut that said, talk about 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.920 how difficult things were and how tough the environment was, 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:07.480 and asked her directly, well, what determined what the mood 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:09.719 was going to be like on a particular day. She said, 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:13.080 puff's mood that you just okay, let's see how he is. 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:14.720 And I think you and I have both worked with 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:18.040 people in this industry before, in news where every day 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.640 everybody is waiting to see what that person's mood is, 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:22.960 and then everybody in the studio has to walk on 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.760 eggshells depending on that person's mood. To think that this 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:27.920 is the person that you depend on for your life, 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:32.520 your money, your career, your everything. You're tiptoeing around just 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:35.479 to see what the mood is. They describe a horrific 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:40.200 experience going on, and this young lady look I talking 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.320 about the experience of what she had. She actually she's testifying, Yes, sure, 0:10:43.480 --> 0:10:46.920 she's compelled to testify. She says she wanted to die 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.120 with this information. She didn't want to ever have to 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.600 She was so ashamed and humiliated by what she had 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.520 gone through and what she had done and allowed to 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:58.120 happen to her to a certain degree that she did 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.320 not she had the plan of going to her grave 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:02.720 with never telling somebody else. 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:04.800 You know, the shame and guilt, And anyone who has 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.640 faced any sort of sexual assault or any kind of 0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:11.560 abuse understands that shame and guilt are a part of it, 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.480 because you think to yourself, I could have done more, 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.720 I should have done more, I should have done this, 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.080 And not that you believe you deserved it, but you 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.480 believe that you could have done something to stop it 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:22.800 or change it. And that's part of the reason why 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.240 so many women and so many abuse victims never come forward. 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.640 So to even see her on the stand and admit 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:32.199 that and talk about these unthinkable, unspeakable acts, I really 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:33.720 have to give her and so many of the other 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.760 people who've gotten up on that witness stand and said 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.120 what they didn't want to say, and said what they 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.640 never intended to ever tell anyone else, and had to 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.640 do it in front of the world, with Ditty just 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.679 a few feet in front of them. I cannot imagine 0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.560 what that was like. But she also described that part 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.920 of her job was to clean up and we've heard 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.520 this from other assistants who worked for him, either to 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:58.040 set up or to clean up hotel rooms after some 0:11:58.160 --> 0:12:00.840 of these freak offs, and she describes the scenes, and 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:04.080 it was just jarring to hear what she said. She 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:15.640 had to clean up. 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:18.040 This is we've been hearing a lot about freak off, 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:19.640 to the point I don't want to hear anything else 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:22.520 about a freak off. But she's still giving this information. 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.319 She described what did she say, a nightmare? The rooms 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.560 looked like a nightmare when they were done. So we 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:33.679 talked previously about the hotel staff out in California. They 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.040 had a profile on Ditty, right, so when he was 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:37.960 staying there, they knew, all right, we're going to have 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.520 to close the whole place down for a little while 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:44.120 to clean. And that so places knew they'd have to 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:47.120 clean this. Mia came in to clean before the other 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.559 folks cleaned, because she had to pick up the little 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.320 things that need to be left behind any signs of 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:57.760 actual ditty, but oil and blood stains on the damn furniture. 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:01.400 Yeah, the melted wax candles, you heard about that too, 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:06.480 But yet she just described just wet towels and blood 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:10.800 and urine and just fluids. I just I can't even 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:13.240 imagine being tasked with that. 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:17.120 Mister job, official job. This is part of her responsibility 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.360 and duties as an assistant to this guy is to 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:23.080 do that, according to her. So we I say, and 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.400 again the freak calls became the headline baby oil and 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.360 all this stuff. But we are hearing that's just nothing 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.120 about them. I mean that, you can't I don't want 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:34.880 to hear anybody crack another joke about baby oil and frankliness. 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.800 People even cracking jokes about this hearing this now, these 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:42.720 were horror shows for folks. Ugh, and this line came 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.400 out of it. Everybody it was understood. We always talking, 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.880 we've been talking ropes with when everybody say, it was 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.680 kind of an open secret. Yeah, everybody in the environment 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:52.440 knew what was going on. They knew it to a 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:55.600 point that they even had a common phrase they use 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.080 when they had to recover. When they knew that Diddy 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.200 and Cassie were in recovery after a freak off, they 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:05.480 just said, man down. And everybody understood those two are 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:06.760 going to need a couple of days. So all of 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:08.680 us are going to have to keep things running because 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:12.840 those two are recovering, just man down. 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:17.400 Get your head around that. Wow, that is really insane 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.920 to even think about. And then she also Mia also 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:25.480 testified about being with Cassie being on vacation in Turks 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.960 and Caicos, I believe, and Cassie came running out of 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:32.920 the hotel room begging Mia to help her, saying, you've 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.520 got to help me. He's going to kill me. 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:44.760 We've heard right in relation to Cassie, several accounts of 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:49.120 where this young lady feared for her life repeatedly, in 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.320 some cases where it sounded like she didn't care if 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.520 she lived or died, she just wanted to get out. 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:56.080 This is at least one scenario where a story we're 0:14:56.120 --> 0:15:00.440 hearing where she was desperately trying to survive him night, 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.200 but they blockade. I mean, I see this. I've never 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.520 done this in real life, but they did it. They 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.960 she came into MIA's hotel room, she testified. Cazie comes 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.240 in there yelling scream, he's gonna kill me. Comes in 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:14.400 her home to close the door, and the two ladies 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:18.880 started barricading the door with furniture to try to I've 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:22.440 only seen a swear in horror movies. I swear the 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.560 only time I've seen that. I've never seen anybody or 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.240 heard him by doing that in real life to escape 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:29.880 a mad man that you think is gonna kill you. 0:15:30.000 --> 0:15:32.960 This happens in real life in Turks and Kikos. 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:35.400 That you spend years with, that you continue to go 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:37.680 back to. That's just it. It's hard to get your 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:38.160 head around it. 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:38.360 Again. 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.080 I know, I keep saying that, but this is all, 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.480 like you said, like a horror movie. It doesn't feel 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:45.440 like this could possibly have actually happened. But yet we 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.480 have witness after witness testifying to the same sort of thing. 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.560 So yeah, they were able to run out the back, 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:54.080 I believe, and they actually were like looking for a 0:15:54.120 --> 0:15:57.040 place to go to get away from him. They found paddleboards, 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:02.400 and they actually took the palace boards and went way 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:06.000 out into the ocean to get away from Ditty. According 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.160 to Mia, so they could barely even see the land 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.200 or the buildings, like that's how far out they were. 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.840 And then the weather started to turn and they realized 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.760 they might be in trouble with mother nature. And she 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:20.440 said that they actually had to make a decision what's worse, 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:25.800 facing Mother Nature or facing Ditty. That's wild that they 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:27.920 had to. They were in that position out in the 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.680 ocean with a storm brewing, and they felt safer there 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:32.560 than they did near Diddy. 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.560 That's I'm very much scared of the ocean right if 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:38.600 you get out too far. It's just intimidating one hundred 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.160 percent to think that was a safer place at the time. 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:43.920 Their on paddleboard, they're not a boat, they're not rome. 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:47.080 They're out there in the elements with nothing protecting them, 0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.280 and that was a better option at the time. Jen 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:55.240 that this is all alleged incidents, but if some of 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:59.480 this stuff, if that's true, that that is another deep 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:05.240 die or another another way of a depth of context 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:10.840 of what these folks experienced in the world of Ditty. 0:17:11.640 --> 0:17:16.080 That is insane to me that that took place. They eventually, yes, 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.199 they obviously had to go back. Mia was also the 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.760 one we've been talking so much about this story as well, 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:25.800 and again, as we say ropes corroboration, we've heard this 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:31.159 story told several times. The incident in which Ditty was 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:36.280 attacking Cassie and Deontae Nash, the stylist, and another woman 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.800 who was there we now know it was Mia literally 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:40.520 had to jump on his back to try to get 0:17:40.560 --> 0:17:42.520 him off of her. She ends up with a gash 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:48.080 in her head. That incident, she described, she said, this 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.440 was the moment that she knew they were in real 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.480 danger from Ditty. Of all the other stuff she had seen, 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:55.240 she said, there was something about his eye. His eyes 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.360 were black. It's the second time we've heard that. Yes, 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:01.480 we've heard that. But she said, this was real fear 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:05.840 and real danger, she said, versus all the other incidents. 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:10.000 That's hard to imagine with everything she testified that she experienced, 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:13.320 and that she endured that that was the moment where 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:18.680 she felt like, actually her life, Cassie's life, Deontay's life 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.639 might all actually be threatened because of Ditty and his 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:26.200 rage and the black and his eyes. It's beyond scary 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:30.560 to think about. And speaking of Deonte, I found this 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:33.920 was interesting that Ditty's defense team was doing their best 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.520 to try and you know, just poke some holes in 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:40.359 what he was saying. And when they actually brought up 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.680 an instance when Deontay said he left a hotel room 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:47.760 because Colmbs wanted to invite a guy over, and so 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.240 the defense attorney said, hey, well then you must not 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:53.359 have been that concerned about Cassie's safety if you were 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:56.439 willing to leave the hotel room, and he said I 0:18:56.520 --> 0:19:01.600 always did. I was always worried. And can you imagine 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:06.360 being in that inner circle, having a job and yet 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.159 knowing you couldn't say no to Diddy, and knowing that 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:13.480 when you left, you weren't sure if your friend was 0:19:13.520 --> 0:19:15.880 going to be safe or not. That is what each 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:19.200 of these employees had to live with and are speaking 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:21.400 to that they were, yes, concerned for their own safety, 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:25.080 but always worried about Cassies when they left her alone. 0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.000 We did get some updates as well from the court 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:30.280 as far as how this trial is going to go. 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:33.640 We've been talking Robes about the prosecution said they're right 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:36.560 on track and even in recent days said they're ahead 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:39.399 of schedule and thought they'd be done, maybe even a 0:19:39.400 --> 0:19:41.520 week earlier than they thought they would be. Said they'd 0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:43.800 be six weeks, maybe just five, and like, wow, they're 0:19:43.880 --> 0:19:45.520 getting through this thing. Well, now the defense has said 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:48.760 they've changing things up. Apparently something that's taking place that 0:19:48.840 --> 0:19:50.560 the defense is going to I don't want to say 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.840 fully changed strategy, but they say Robes they might need 0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:54.520 some more time now. 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.120 So, yes, initially it was supposed to be eight weeks. 0:19:57.119 --> 0:19:59.400 It looks like it's going to be at least eight 0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:03.879 weeks to get through all of the testimony. And do 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.879 we have any idea, you know, there was early speculation. 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.000 I can't imagine that Diddy would take the stand, But 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.240 do we have any idea where Didty is going to 0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:14.320 call up? Oh that did the stand to defend himself. 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:16.920 We don't have that list. But they're changing something around. 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.119 I wonder what it's going to look like. Very curious 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:21.760 to see what this is going to look like now 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:24.480 because they have a lot of information. Now they have 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:27.240 a lot to right. The defense gets to go second, 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:29.560 the prosecution will get to come back after that. But 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:32.640 they have now seen exactly what the strategy, if you will, 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:35.160 the prosecution is going to be. So they're changing potentially 0:20:35.440 --> 0:20:38.280 defense strategy a little bit. And folks might be wondering, Mia, 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:42.000 we talk about domestic violence, We're talking about all these 0:20:42.040 --> 0:20:43.679
