0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Reality with the King. It's me Carlos Kings,

0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the King of Reality TV and one of the most

0:00:08.200 --> 0:00:12.799
<v Speaker 1>sought after executive producers in reality television with over ten

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:16.919
<v Speaker 1>years a production experience. Twice a week on Reality with

0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>the King, we'll sit down with my friends across the

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:24.240
<v Speaker 1>entertainment industry, recap our favorite reality shows and revisit un

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>forgettable moments that we are still talking and tweeting about.

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Hey, rain drops.

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:35.080

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>to talk about all things reality television, but we also

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>got to talk about all things that are happening in

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>the reality of the world. In this particular case, both

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:49.600
<v Speaker 1>are intersected because p Diddy was a reality star who

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:52.360
<v Speaker 1>started making the band I want to work for Diddy,

0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>And he did have a Sean Thomos show that was

0:00:55.640 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>going to come out this year, but it got canceled

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>due to everything going on. So welcome to True Crime

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Thursdays Reality with the King Edition. And I cannot do

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 1>this alone, so I am here with my good friend

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Legal Ego Honey. She is also a judge. She is

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 1>the host of.

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 2>The award winning podcast Holding Court.

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>So y'all know how I'm talking about the beautiful, the talented,

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>the amazing woman and mother that she is. Give it

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:26.960
<v Speaker 1>up for Ebony K.

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:33.039
<v Speaker 3>Williams rain Drops, Hello darlings, and the King. I salute you, honey.

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 3>Let's get into all of it. I like that framing though, too.

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.760
<v Speaker 3>I like true crime. What are we doing true crime

0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 3>Thursdays with the King?

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? True crime Thursdays. Because the thing is this, I'm into.

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>All things true crime. I'm launching a new series that

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>is coming out in June, so stay tuned for that

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>is in a true crime space. But with this ditty

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 1>stuff happening, it hit me Ebany that it is the

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>intersection of true crime reality star because Puff was on.

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Making the band.

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to work for Diddy the four on Fox

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>that I worked on alongside him, DJ Calla and Meghan Trainer.

0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>So I do want to get into a lot that's

0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 1>been happening because what's going on in this case has

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>been the talk of the town for the past like

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.799
<v Speaker 1>year year and a half. So to update everybody who

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>has been living under roped.

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 2>As you all know, Mediamogo, SEANP.

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Ded Combs is in jail for allegedly because he hasn't

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 1>been found guilty for alleged crimes of sex trafficking.

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:45.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's what he's in jail for.

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:46.239
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:49.079
<v Speaker 2>What has been happening for the past three days?

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:54.359
<v Speaker 1>The trial has started and as of today's taping, we

0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>are going to discuss the first couple of days of

0:02:57.320 --> 0:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the trial, and mie K Williams is going to update

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:02.639
<v Speaker 1>us on exactly what's been happening.

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.960
<v Speaker 2>So they want to trial his former girlfriend.

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Cassie Ventura, who is eight months pregnant, had to suffer

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 1>through being a witness in this case by talking about

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>some of the things she experienced, and I want Ebony.

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.440
<v Speaker 2>To update us on all things going on. So Ebonie,

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:27.360
<v Speaker 2>what is going on in this case and why is

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Cassie a part of me? Because we saw.

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>The video where he physically harmed her at the lobby

0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 1>of a hotel in the hallway. I'm sorry, but this

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>case is not about domestic violence. This case is about

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>sex trafficking. So can you educate us on what's been

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 1>going on and how Cassie is involved in this from

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>that arena?

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's so broad, Carlos. The magnitude of what we're

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 3>talking about by virtue of first of all, the magnitude

0:03:56.600 --> 0:04:00.640
<v Speaker 3>of Sean Diddy Combs. Right, we are his contemporary. We

0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 3>were raised on the cultural impact of this man and

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.600
<v Speaker 3>this entity, you know, because that is exactly what he is.

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 3>And put a pin in entity and enterprise because that's

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 3>actually part of this case.

0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:12.120
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 3>So when we think all things music, but also fashion,

0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 3>also liquor and spirits, also television, also h all the

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 3>things from every genre of the industry, there's nowhere you

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 3>can really go and Sean Combe's or bad boy or

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 3>sorock or some you know, Comb's enterprises doesn't touch it.

0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 3>So let me start with that framing, just so folks

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:41.920
<v Speaker 3>can really appreciate the magnitude of the defendant. It's hard

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 3>to equate it to anything, but think of the magnitude

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 3>of an O. J. Simpson where it was the NFL,

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 3>but it was hurts, it was uh naked just uh

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.080
<v Speaker 3>was it naked whatever those movies were that he was on.

0:04:54.160 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 3>You know, yes, thank you think that for our generation, Okay,

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.599
<v Speaker 3>And many people Carlos are going ahead and claiming this

0:05:03.720 --> 0:05:07.640
<v Speaker 3>case as the case of our century. You know, if

0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.599
<v Speaker 3>oj was the case of the twentieth century, this is

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 3>certainly the case thus far of the twenty first century,

0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 3>and my legal peers are framing it that way. So

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.040
<v Speaker 3>that sets the stage. Now let's go to the charges.

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 3>You correctly cited that one of the main because it's

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 3>really five major charges that are in this federal indictment,

0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:32.600
<v Speaker 3>the three original the sex trafficking is one of them,

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 3>but they are joined with two very important co charges

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:42.600
<v Speaker 3>transporting for the sake of prostitution and the biggie as

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:46.719
<v Speaker 3>we're kind of calling it in legal communities, the conspiracy

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 3>and racketeering.

0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:52.360
<v Speaker 3>Then there were two what we call superseding indictments, Carlos.

0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:56.040
<v Speaker 3>So these were indictments that came after the first charges

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:58.719
<v Speaker 3>dropped and the homes were invaded in Miami and Los

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 3>Angeles and the raids and all of that. That was

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 3>when we got those first three charges sex trafficking, racketeering,

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 3>and conspiracy, and then transporting with prostitution.

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:09.880
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:14.560
<v Speaker 3>Then we got two additional which means that the government

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 3>in this case, when I say the government, I want

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 3>to be clemed i ab out the United States of America,

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.040
<v Speaker 3>the Federal Government v.

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 4>Shan Colmes. That's the title of this case. Okay. Again,

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 4>scope and magnitude.

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:30.920
<v Speaker 3>They were asking after the first indictment Carlos, then prosecutor

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.480
<v Speaker 3>black man by the name of Damian Williams. He has

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 3>sent stepped down from this case, but he was the

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.640
<v Speaker 3>original prosecutor on the case. He was asking for more

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 3>witnesses and more victims, more alleged victims to what come forward.

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.479
<v Speaker 3>He was saying, we're still working on this case. Baby,

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 3>it's not cooked, as the kids would say. It is

0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 3>still an active investigation. But based on the facts, evidence

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 3>and proposed witnesses we have thus far, we've put forth

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:58.480
<v Speaker 3>the first set of indictment.

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 4>Then, very calm in the lo Carlos. This is not uncommon.

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:02.480
<v Speaker 4>I want to be clear.

0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:06.880
<v Speaker 3>We have superseding indictments, indictments that come after the initial

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 3>framing of the charges because we've got what, more witnesses,

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 3>more facts, more pieces of evidence to add on to

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 3>the first set of charges. So there's an additional sex

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 3>trafficking charge and an additional transportation for the sake of

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 3>prostitution charge, So five total charges we're talking about here. Now,

0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 3>let me get to your question, because it is the

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:32.840
<v Speaker 3>question of the case thus far. When we talk about

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 3>the video that many of us first saw when CNN

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 3>broke this news last year, and we all bore witness

0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:47.000
<v Speaker 3>to the horrific traumatic, extraordinarily violent, just unconscionable. I mean,

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:52.600
<v Speaker 3>we saw a madman on camera right kicking, beating, dragging

0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.560
<v Speaker 3>a woman that didn't even have on shoes or socks,

0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 3>and we were all horrified to see it. But you're

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 3>absolutely right. There were no and still are no criminal

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 3>charges attached to that tape.

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 4>Zero none, not.

0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 3>That would have been domestic violence or some type of

0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:15.680
<v Speaker 3>assault in the California jurisdiction, statute of limitations ran on it,

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 3>because I just wanted to lay this out for the

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 3>rain drops, Carlos.

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:19.800
<v Speaker 4>Why not criminal charges on that?

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 3>It's because the statute of limitations, the statute of limitations

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 3>had already run on that tape.

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 4>That tape was I'll get you the year in a second,

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 4>but it was.

0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 3>It was the one year window, and which would have

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.760
<v Speaker 3>been the state level that would have allowed it, and

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.559
<v Speaker 3>the three year federal window. Both of them were expired.

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 3>So there are no criminal charges as it relates to that.

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 3>Now you're asking great question, why are we even talking

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 3>about this tape? Why was it the first piece of

0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.719
<v Speaker 3>evidence that the prosecutors put into evidence on this.

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.680
<v Speaker 4>Federal trial that seemingly has nothing to do with it.

0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 3>Well, I want the rain Drops to think about at

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 3>least two things being true at the same time. So

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 3>what we see on that video is absolutely domestic violence

0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 3>and it is absolutely not a charge in this case.

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 3>So anybody did y'all see saying that they are right?

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 3>And also this part it's very important, Carlos, the prosecutors

0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.600
<v Speaker 3>in the federal indictment cite aspects that we do see

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.280
<v Speaker 3>on this video physical assault. I want to read it

0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:32.480
<v Speaker 3>verbatim because I don't want this to get into any

0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 3>what Ebony thought of what Ebony said on this one,

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 3>because the stakes are too high.

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm sure you can appreciate that.

0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely.

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.200
<v Speaker 3>This is clause four. If you pull up any this

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:43.080
<v Speaker 3>is public record.

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:43.680
<v Speaker 4>Rain Drops.

0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.079
<v Speaker 3>Pull up the original indictment of the United States of

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:49.080
<v Speaker 3>America v. Shan Colmes. You will see in the very

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:53.000
<v Speaker 3>first caption they lay out the racketeering and conspiracy part

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:58.439
<v Speaker 3>Clause go paragraph for number four physical abuse by Sean Colmes.

0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 3>This is the government talking physical abuse by Sean Combs's

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 3>aka Puff Daddy akap DD aka Black.

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:06.760
<v Speaker 4>The defendant.

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:12.440
<v Speaker 3>Was recurrent and widely known on numerous occasions from at

0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 3>least two thousand and nine to continuing years, Combs assaulted

0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 3>women by doing, amongst other things, striking, punching, dragging, throwing

0:10:24.280 --> 0:10:29.959
<v Speaker 3>objects at and kicking them. These assaults were at times

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.959
<v Speaker 3>witnessed this is Keith. They were witnessed by other folks.

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 3>They included an instance in the Los Angeles hotel.

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:38.520
<v Speaker 4>This is the specific video.

0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.320
<v Speaker 3>We're talking about here in or about that's the year

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:46.520
<v Speaker 3>March of twenty sixteen and was later reported where Comb's kicked,

0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:49.120
<v Speaker 3>dragged and threw a vase at a woman. We now

0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.319
<v Speaker 3>know that woman to be Cassie Ventura as she was

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 3>attempting to leave when a member of the hotel security intervened.

0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:57.600
<v Speaker 4>By the way rain drops.

0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:00.400
<v Speaker 3>That was the very first witness that the pro secution

0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:02.240
<v Speaker 3>put on the witness stay in day one. The first

0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 3>witness we heard was from was that security guard, that

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:10.520
<v Speaker 3>security officer. Really he was a security guard. And that's important, Flores,

0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 3>go ahead, Carlos.

0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>And from my understanding, the security guard is now a

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 1>police officer for the Los Angeles to Police Department, I believe.

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 2>And what was so interesting is and I want you

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 2>to explain this to me. So allegedly he did.

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:35.920
<v Speaker 1>He contacted the then security guard to confiscate the footage

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.679
<v Speaker 1>of what he did to Cassie. And is it true

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:43.320
<v Speaker 1>that the security guard said on the stand that he

0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.559
<v Speaker 1>and I believe his then girlfriend or wife he showed

0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:48.760
<v Speaker 1>it to her.

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:54.559
<v Speaker 2>And did not give it to the police. Is that true?

0:11:55.000 --> 0:11:55.720
<v Speaker 4>More or less? So?

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.679
<v Speaker 3>Right? So, because I had that first question too, I

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.480
<v Speaker 3>was like, well, why did you record this on your

0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:00.959
<v Speaker 3>cell phone?

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 4>Sir? Right?

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.760
<v Speaker 3>And the answer that he said and admits to, which

0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 3>I thought was very cringe quite frankly, was that the

0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:11.120
<v Speaker 3>only reason that he recorded this was not for some

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 3>moral high ground to It was not to prove law enforcement.

0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:21.199
<v Speaker 3>It was so that he can show his lady. I'm

0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:22.560
<v Speaker 3>not sure if it was his wife or not, but

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.160
<v Speaker 3>so that he could show his lady. Look, look, look

0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 3>and see what happened to me at work today. Look

0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 3>and see yah, see judge, But look and see what

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.640
<v Speaker 3>I saw. Sean Combs this victim so that he could

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.720
<v Speaker 3>be believed by his romantic partner.

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 4>So this is very interesting.

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 3>I want to make a point too that the read

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.560
<v Speaker 3>because many people said, well, why didn't he go to

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.360
<v Speaker 3>the police, Why didn't he do that? Well, y'all, remember

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 3>he's working in what a commercial capacity at that time,

0:12:49.000 --> 0:12:50.440
<v Speaker 3>He's working for the hotel.

0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.760
<v Speaker 4>Now he's not law enforcement.

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.240
<v Speaker 3>And see this is where you know Black Comedy has

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.559
<v Speaker 3>been joking about this for years, right, these toy cops,

0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:01.160
<v Speaker 3>no disrespect, but secure we must be. This is very important.

0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 3>Security guards are not law enforcement. They're not they have

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:09.080
<v Speaker 3>no they're not duty bound in that same way. So

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 3>his main reason for being there was to protect the

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:15.679
<v Speaker 3>what the property of the hotel, and that's why what

0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:18.320
<v Speaker 3>we heard him testify to Carlos on opening day of

0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 3>trial was that he would be letting mister Combs know

0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 3>that the damage done by his abusive episode we show

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:29.200
<v Speaker 3>up on the hotel bill. He's there to make sure

0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 3>that the property is safe, not that the individuals per

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 3>se in the hotel. That's what police are for.

0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:40.480
<v Speaker 1>So a question for you, by this being a case

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 1>that outlines sex trafficking and the other things you outline,

0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Cassie's testimony is important. Tell me why her testimony is

0:13:55.559 --> 0:14:01.559
<v Speaker 1>important as it relates to us hearing about these freakoffs

0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:05.079
<v Speaker 1>that allegedly and god, I'm saying alleged because he hasn't

0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 1>found guilty so I'm not just right, Ebony. Why are

0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 1>the freak off details important in this case as Cassie

0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 1>has to unfortunately be a month pregnant living through this

0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 1>by giving her testimony in front of the man who

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 1>he saw abuse her.

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so this is very important, the freakoff testimony, but

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:31.120
<v Speaker 3>also the videotape. What I believe the prosecution is doing

0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 3>the government in this case, Carlos, is they are slow walking.

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 3>Let's back up. We've already been told that this case

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.200
<v Speaker 3>will likely be six to eight weeks long.

0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.720
<v Speaker 4>That's a long time. Think about all that we've already heard.

0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 4>How many already.

0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 3>Right, whether you think he's guilty or not, or it

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 3>rises to the occasion of criminal activity or not.

0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 4>There's been a lot of.

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 3>And we're on day three barely okay, and we're talking

0:14:56.320 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 3>about six to eight weeks more of this. So that

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:05.119
<v Speaker 3>tells me that the prosecution is slow walking. The factual

0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 3>foundation is what they're laying, Carlos, taking their time, and

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.720
<v Speaker 3>unfortunately I agree with you, but it's necessary. If you're

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 3>gonna get a conviction, you have got to have a

0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 3>cooperating witness. And I think it's very important that people

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 3>acknowledge that Cassie not only is testifying at her vulnerable,

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 3>fragile condition of being eight months pregnant, she's doing so

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 3>under her own name.

0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.160
<v Speaker 4>And she didn't have to do that. She could have. Yeah,

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.840
<v Speaker 4>she made a decision. She chose to do that, Carlos King.

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:37.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh, yes, she chose to with forego a pseudonym, because

0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:41.400
<v Speaker 3>she could have been testifying as Jane Do one. As

0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 3>we're being told future victims, alleged victims will be testifying

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:50.800
<v Speaker 3>under pseudonyms Je Chambo two, Maybe there's a Jane Doe three.

0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:51.360
<v Speaker 4>We don't know.

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 3>But the fact that Cassie Venturer says, no, no, no,

0:15:55.360 --> 0:16:00.120
<v Speaker 3>it's me. I am a famous woman in my own right.

0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:04.040
<v Speaker 3>This culture and community know me as it relates to

0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:08.360
<v Speaker 3>this man. And I believe she must believe, Carlos, that

0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:14.680
<v Speaker 3>it is persuasive for her to stand in receiving the consequences.

0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.360
<v Speaker 3>Because let's be clear, we all know victim shaming is real.

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 3>We've already all seen it already on the internet. It

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:23.160
<v Speaker 3>relates to her testimony. Sound like she wanted it, sound

0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:25.760
<v Speaker 3>like she liked it, sound like she deserved it. Why

0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 3>she stay okay? So she knew she would be receiving

0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:29.680
<v Speaker 3>that she's not a dummy.

0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:30.200
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 3>She's saying, even with that coming my way as I

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:38.120
<v Speaker 3>carry my third child in uterow okay, and that's important.

0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.040
<v Speaker 3>And I'm gonna be personal, Carlos, as a woman that

0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:44.240
<v Speaker 3>just gave birth nine months ago. What we know scientifically

0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:48.200
<v Speaker 3>now is that the neuro system of the mother of

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.600
<v Speaker 3>the gestational carrier directly impacts.

0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:55.320
<v Speaker 4>The fetus and the child. So you better know that that.

0:16:56.120 --> 0:17:00.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure her doctor told her you withdrawing withstanding, rather

0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:04.960
<v Speaker 3>that level of stress and emotional turmoil while your baby

0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:10.000
<v Speaker 3>is still in final development, is you're paying a price, okay.

0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:13.719
<v Speaker 3>And she decided to pay that price on behalf of

0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.640
<v Speaker 3>the fact that she felt it was so necessary that

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.479
<v Speaker 3>while this case is not being televised, that's why none

0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:23.200
<v Speaker 3>of us have seen actual photos of anybody, including Sean Holmes.

0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.840
<v Speaker 4>What have we seen, Carlos these drawings at miss right.

0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:30.480
<v Speaker 3>She's still saying, people, I want them to know my name,

0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.560
<v Speaker 3>I want them to know that this is me, Cassandra Ventura,

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.200
<v Speaker 3>and I'm telling what happened to me, and I'm telling

0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:36.680
<v Speaker 3>my truth.

0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:37.359
<v Speaker 4>Now.

0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.320
<v Speaker 3>Why is the abuse and the freak offs and the

0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 3>violent behavior in the freak offs. So important that we

0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:46.919
<v Speaker 3>know these details because the government, Carlos, is arguing that

0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:54.159
<v Speaker 3>all of that creates their case to argue conspiracy and racketeering.

0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.240
<v Speaker 3>So two things about that, right, So that's why when

0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:00.159
<v Speaker 3>I read I took the time to read this that

0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.800
<v Speaker 3>you know what they're alleging In the first complaint, in

0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:08.040
<v Speaker 3>the first indictment, they're saying, part of what because racketeering, Okay,

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.560
<v Speaker 3>that what does that mean? That means criminal enterprise at play.

0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:13.520
<v Speaker 3>That's why we think of mafia when we hear Rico.

0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Is that the reason why the FED.

0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:22.439
<v Speaker 1>Ransack his Beverly Hills a stay and took and and

0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:26.400
<v Speaker 1>did the investigation, allegedly took guns and all that stuff because.

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:28.920
<v Speaker 3>And all at the same time, because when you're dealing

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:34.120
<v Speaker 3>with a Rico, a racketeering conspiracy, that means you've got

0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:38.640
<v Speaker 3>multiple players, if you will, multiple agents with different tasks

0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.360
<v Speaker 3>of executing the criminal activity. And that means if I'm

0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.640
<v Speaker 3>in Miami and I'm a part of the Combs enterprise,

0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:48.080
<v Speaker 3>alleged criminal enterprise, and I'm and I see the cops

0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:50.840
<v Speaker 3>coming or the Homeland Security in this case, coming, and

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.000
<v Speaker 3>what am I gonna do? I'm gonna text Carlos King,

0:18:53.480 --> 0:18:57.359
<v Speaker 3>who's at the LA spot and he's also a part

0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.960
<v Speaker 3>of the and I'm gonna say, hey, hey, Carlos, they're

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:04.959
<v Speaker 3>they just came in on us in Miami get rid

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.480
<v Speaker 3>of all the evidence in La so in an effort

0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:12.600
<v Speaker 3>to avoid the destruction of evidence, the collaboration of people trying.

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:13.959
<v Speaker 4>To get their stories straightened together.

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:19.600
<v Speaker 3>This is how the the you know, the the This

0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:22.000
<v Speaker 3>is how they they let they put you on notice

0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.879
<v Speaker 3>right that that they're they're closing in on you, and

0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.000
<v Speaker 3>they do it in that simultaneous way. It was not

0:19:28.119 --> 0:19:30.159
<v Speaker 3>very different than what we saw with r. Kelly or

0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.800
<v Speaker 3>where he had Atlanta charges, but he also had Chicago.

0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:33.800
<v Speaker 4>You know what I mean.

0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:36.520
<v Speaker 3>This is what the rico of it all comes into play,

0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:40.600
<v Speaker 3>multiple different pockets, most of the time in different places,

0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 3>but all working in concert. That's a legal term, working

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:50.080
<v Speaker 3>in concert, Carlos, meaning together for the execution of a

0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:51.880
<v Speaker 3>shared criminal agenda.

0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:55.320
<v Speaker 3>And part of that one more thing, because I'm sorry

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:58.760
<v Speaker 3>to keep talking about I want to yeah. And and

0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:02.560
<v Speaker 3>they're saying that part of the criminal activity was the abuse,

0:20:03.560 --> 0:20:09.359
<v Speaker 3>was the kicking, punching, dragging of women. That's a part

0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:11.920
<v Speaker 3>of what they were conspiring, Because what are we conspiring

0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:14.400
<v Speaker 3>to do if we're just if we're conspiring.

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.320
<v Speaker 4>To make red kool aid, that's not a crime. We

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:18.200
<v Speaker 4>can do that, Carlos. But if we're.

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:24.760
<v Speaker 3>Conspiring to punch and kick people, that's criminal. Now we're

0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:28.879
<v Speaker 3>conspiring to commit a crime. So you've got to articulate

0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:31.280
<v Speaker 3>before you can get to the conspiracy, because that's what

0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.480
<v Speaker 3>everybody on social media that I'm hearing and reading and

0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:36.200
<v Speaker 3>listening and traveling, you and your raindrops too. Where's the rico?

0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:40.919
<v Speaker 3>Where's the conspiracy? Okay, domestic violence? I see that, got it.

0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:44.320
<v Speaker 3>He's out on trial for that. Where is the conspiracy?

0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:51.680
<v Speaker 3>The rico, the racketeering, and the working in concert, the

0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:55.200
<v Speaker 3>collusion if you will, you cannot collude by yourself. So

0:20:55.520 --> 0:20:58.080
<v Speaker 3>but I'm thinking that the prosecution has made a tactical

0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:01.000
<v Speaker 3>decision here, Carlos, and a strategic decision to say, oh,

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:06.600
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna get to the various members of Sean Combs's enterprise,

0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:08.439
<v Speaker 3>whether they be because they worked for bad Boy at

0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:10.840
<v Speaker 3>a time, or they were his personal assistant, or maybe

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:13.720
<v Speaker 3>they were security guards, or maybe they were drivers, or

0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:18.399
<v Speaker 3>maybe they were Heaven Forbid executives of some sort a

0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:22.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, the various business entities that he controlled, because

0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:25.760
<v Speaker 3>this is all about him being in control of all

0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:30.960
<v Speaker 3>these people and various enterprise. But before we get to that,

0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:33.920
<v Speaker 3>we we're gonna take our time in slow walk what

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:38.160
<v Speaker 3>the criminal activity itself was, and it was the physical abuse.

0:21:38.440 --> 0:21:40.960
<v Speaker 3>They're gonna eventually they're go. They kind of are starting

0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:43.439
<v Speaker 3>to allude to the Arson. So we heard in today

0:21:43.560 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 3>day three testimony the reference to Kid Cuddy okay, who

0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:50.640
<v Speaker 3>at one time was a boyfriend, a short term boyfriend

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:54.360
<v Speaker 3>of Cassie, I think around twenty eleven, she says, when

0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:57.080
<v Speaker 3>her and Shaan Colmes were on the rocks, Sean colmebs

0:21:57.119 --> 0:22:01.400
<v Speaker 3>catches with of this relationship between Cassie and Cutty, threatens

0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:05.720
<v Speaker 3>to harm both of them. She says, she at some

0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:08.280
<v Speaker 3>point calls Key Cutty. He pulls up on the on

0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:10.760
<v Speaker 3>the curve, picks her up, takes her to his home.

0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:14.879
<v Speaker 3>At some point she goes anyways, and and Sean Holmes says,

0:22:15.080 --> 0:22:18.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to blow his car up. So that's Arson.

0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:21.520
<v Speaker 3>That that that that would be a threat of arson, okay.

0:22:21.880 --> 0:22:25.520
<v Speaker 3>And then, as per The New York Times, Kid Cuddy

0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:29.640
<v Speaker 3>confirmed that some days after that threat of arson was made,

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:33.320
<v Speaker 3>his car indeed exploded in the driveway. So this is

0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:36.080
<v Speaker 3>where the government is pulling that fact of Okay, part

0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:38.679
<v Speaker 3>of the criminal activity was the arson. Part of the

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.760
<v Speaker 3>criminal activity was the physical abuse. Uh, let's get to

0:22:41.840 --> 0:22:44.280
<v Speaker 3>the freak offs because you asked about it, Carlos. Part

0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:49.440
<v Speaker 3>of the criminal activity was sexual at sexual sex, sexual activity,

0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:53.560
<v Speaker 3>sexual behavior, but not done voluntarily. She talked about on

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:56.080
<v Speaker 3>the witness stand today. Many people were shot. She said

0:22:56.119 --> 0:22:59.520
<v Speaker 3>she was rape She used the rape word, Carlos. She said,

0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:06.920
<v Speaker 3>Sean Holmes raped me after some event and she said

0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:09.159
<v Speaker 3>he had dark eyes, his eyes were blacked out, and

0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:12.480
<v Speaker 3>he raped her. Okay, So that would be criminal activity.

0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:16.879
<v Speaker 3>And if the prosecution can prove Carlos that other people

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:20.280
<v Speaker 3>were involved in the execution of him being able to

0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:22.600
<v Speaker 3>rape her, and this could be simple. This could be

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:26.640
<v Speaker 3>as simple as his driver taking him to the destination

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:30.879
<v Speaker 3>where the rape occurred, if the driver had knowledge that

0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:35.359
<v Speaker 3>Shawn Holmes was going there with the intention to commit

0:23:35.400 --> 0:23:40.240
<v Speaker 3>a crime, to do something illegal. Because now we're conspiring,

0:23:40.920 --> 0:23:43.639
<v Speaker 3>I'm helping you execute criminal activity.

0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:45.920
<v Speaker 4>That would make me a co conspirator.

0:23:46.760 --> 0:23:51.119
<v Speaker 2>Is it starting to it? Really is child.

0:23:51.160 --> 0:24:05.520
<v Speaker 1>We are just getting started. This is reality with the King,

0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:09.119
<v Speaker 1>and I'm Carlos King. Let's get back into the show.

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Is it starting up? Yeah, No, it really is.

0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Because one of the questions that a lot of people

0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:20.560
<v Speaker 1>had ebony is sort of the salaciousness of the details

0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:24.560
<v Speaker 1>that Cassie's providing in her testimony. But now it all

0:24:24.600 --> 0:24:28.120
<v Speaker 1>makes sense because what we are hearing are some very

0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:34.680
<v Speaker 1>silations details that is Cassie's truth, which is the sort

0:24:34.880 --> 0:24:37.560
<v Speaker 1>of escort she had to be with.

0:24:38.520 --> 0:24:40.320
<v Speaker 2>She's been cross examined.

0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:43.399
<v Speaker 1>About whether or not it was elective or was she

0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:44.320
<v Speaker 1>forced to do it.

0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:47.679
<v Speaker 3>Let's let's be easy on that word cross exam, Carlos,

0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:48.560
<v Speaker 3>because it's very important.

0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:51.120
<v Speaker 4>We're gonna get to right. This is still direct exam.

0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:52.640
<v Speaker 4>But you're right, he's being questioned.

0:24:52.640 --> 0:24:55.439
<v Speaker 2>She's been question No, that's why your hair. I'm not

0:24:55.440 --> 0:24:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the legal ease, but thank you for that.

0:24:57.280 --> 0:25:01.200
<v Speaker 1>She is being questioned whether or not it was forced

0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:04.360
<v Speaker 1>or she's being questioned if it was elective.

0:25:05.880 --> 0:25:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Some of the things that people are saying because.

0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:13.000
<v Speaker 1>I want to know if media is going to play

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:16.639
<v Speaker 1>a role in this, or is the sort of details

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:19.640
<v Speaker 1>of the story going to color it for the jury.

0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:22.960
<v Speaker 1>So when we hear things like the sort of and

0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:26.560
<v Speaker 1>this is obviously you know it's explicit, but I'll say

0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:33.320
<v Speaker 1>the proper words, ejaculation that occurred doing a freak off,

0:25:33.520 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 1>and allegedly she had to take that and wipe it

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:41.000
<v Speaker 1>on puff nipples as his way of having a satisfaction.

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:48.479
<v Speaker 1>They talked about one escort urinating in her mouth. Can

0:25:48.560 --> 0:25:54.600
<v Speaker 1>you tell me why these very specific details are important.

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Is it to paint the picture of what Cassie had

0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:04.000
<v Speaker 1>to endure or is it to really show that what

0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:07.800
<v Speaker 1>you said earlier, we are giving you step by step

0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:13.399
<v Speaker 1>leading into the ultimate racketeering. Recall all those things sex trafficking.

0:26:13.720 --> 0:26:16.040
<v Speaker 1>So we gotta be as detail as possible.

0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:19.040
<v Speaker 3>It's both, So let me start with where you just landed.

0:26:19.359 --> 0:26:22.400
<v Speaker 3>They have to be as detailed as possible. How dare

0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:24.879
<v Speaker 3>any prosecutor, because don't forget Carlos. As much as I'm

0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:27.040
<v Speaker 3>making the case and laying out the facts, I am

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:28.959
<v Speaker 3>a criminal defense lawyer by trade.

0:26:29.000 --> 0:26:30.280
<v Speaker 4>That's what I did for a living.

0:26:30.320 --> 0:26:33.000
<v Speaker 3>I was first a public defender and then I was

0:26:33.040 --> 0:26:36.639
<v Speaker 3>a private lawyer for a defendants. So how dare a

0:26:36.640 --> 0:26:39.359
<v Speaker 3>prosecutor come in my face and try to convict my

0:26:39.480 --> 0:26:43.600
<v Speaker 3>client without specificity, period, that would be a gas to

0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:47.440
<v Speaker 3>the law. So they are required to be as absolutely

0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:51.400
<v Speaker 3>specific as available. So if there is a specific fact,

0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:54.440
<v Speaker 3>whether it's urine in a pool, whether it's twenty five

0:26:54.440 --> 0:26:58.640
<v Speaker 3>bottles of baby oil, whether it's the ejaculation you're urinating

0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:01.480
<v Speaker 3>to the point where she can't breathe and it's choking.

0:27:01.880 --> 0:27:03.879
<v Speaker 3>That we heard about the U T I s and

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:08.280
<v Speaker 3>cole sores. She yeah, I went into all of that.

0:27:08.640 --> 0:27:11.320
<v Speaker 3>They must give us those details. But to your earlier

0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:14.280
<v Speaker 3>instinct because this is these are your instincts.

0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:15.440
<v Speaker 4>They're producing too.

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:20.760
<v Speaker 3>They're painting the picture they're showing you with with fine

0:27:20.840 --> 0:27:26.080
<v Speaker 3>detail and broad stroke. This is a monster. Sean Colmes

0:27:26.160 --> 0:27:28.840
<v Speaker 3>is a monster and he and there was and he

0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:33.159
<v Speaker 3>was so depraved. See, this is the psychology of the process.

0:27:33.240 --> 0:27:35.040
<v Speaker 3>See psychology is a big part of this because when

0:27:35.080 --> 0:27:38.040
<v Speaker 3>we talk about the crime of coercion, Okay, and I'm gonna,

0:27:38.080 --> 0:27:40.159
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna. I know we're running out of time for

0:27:40.240 --> 0:27:41.960
<v Speaker 3>this week. This is a great series, by the way,

0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:44.760
<v Speaker 3>So rain Drops, Carlos King has gifted you, honey, to

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:47.120
<v Speaker 3>be able to get this in this level of detail

0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:49.960
<v Speaker 3>and expertise on a weekly basis as this case continues.

0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:51.919
<v Speaker 4>This is this is a gift.

0:27:51.720 --> 0:27:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, because I can only do this with you, so

0:27:54.560 --> 0:27:55.360
<v Speaker 2>thank you, so much.

0:27:55.400 --> 0:27:57.520
<v Speaker 3>So happy to do it because it's important. I want

0:27:57.520 --> 0:27:59.520
<v Speaker 3>our culture to understand what's happening here. I want the

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:02.800
<v Speaker 3>culture to Carlos. This is more than just the man

0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:05.400
<v Speaker 3>coming for a black successful man in America.

0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:08.800
<v Speaker 4>This is more than that. I'm not saying that.

0:28:08.840 --> 0:28:11.399
<v Speaker 3>Race doesn't play apart, We'll get to that eventually, but

0:28:11.680 --> 0:28:16.240
<v Speaker 3>this is bigger than that. So when we talk about coercion,

0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:19.159
<v Speaker 3>we're talking about the sex act happened. We know that

0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:24.080
<v Speaker 3>these sex acts with Cassie Sean Combs and male escorts

0:28:24.119 --> 0:28:27.919
<v Speaker 3>and others happened. That is not disputed. Here's what's in dispute,

0:28:27.920 --> 0:28:30.359
<v Speaker 3>Carlos King, and this is where this case will turn

0:28:30.800 --> 0:28:37.240
<v Speaker 3>or fail. Can the prosecution make the case convincingly to

0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:41.720
<v Speaker 3>not one, two, or three, but twelve different men and

0:28:41.760 --> 0:28:48.880
<v Speaker 3>women That behavior rose to the level of by force

0:28:49.760 --> 0:28:53.360
<v Speaker 3>and unwillingness. So that's why you keep hearing even her

0:28:53.440 --> 0:28:58.280
<v Speaker 3>own prosecution team, who she's their witness, right asking her

0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:02.600
<v Speaker 3>did you feel free to leave? That's very important. And

0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:05.920
<v Speaker 3>when she says something like not really. Now, I'm gonna

0:29:05.920 --> 0:29:08.960
<v Speaker 3>tell you, as a defense lawyer, I'm happy to hear that,

0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:12.200
<v Speaker 3>because I'm gonna go in on that. When cross examination

0:29:12.320 --> 0:29:15.040
<v Speaker 3>time does come, and it is coming as soon as

0:29:15.080 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 3>the prosecution Carlos is completely done with their examination. We

0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:21.120
<v Speaker 3>call that direct exam. I expect her to be on

0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:23.720
<v Speaker 3>the on the stand another day, if not two more days.

0:29:23.760 --> 0:29:26.560
<v Speaker 3>You might even go into next week. Don't be surprised.

0:29:26.960 --> 0:29:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Mm hmm. Wow.

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:32.080
<v Speaker 3>Once they're done, they're gonna have to say defense your witness,

0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:35.760
<v Speaker 3>and then that's when they gonna get into her. They're

0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:38.480
<v Speaker 3>going to try to destroy her credibility. They're gonna try

0:29:38.520 --> 0:29:40.680
<v Speaker 3>to make her the biggest slut that ever lived. They're

0:29:40.680 --> 0:29:43.440
<v Speaker 3>gonna try to make her desperate for fame. They're gonna

0:29:43.440 --> 0:29:46.360
<v Speaker 3>try to make her completely thirsty. And some of these

0:29:46.360 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 3>things might apply.

0:29:47.840 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 2>Hell, we don't know.

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:50.720
<v Speaker 4>We weren't there, So those are gonna be the arguments.

0:29:50.840 --> 0:29:53.480
<v Speaker 3>But the main one they're gonna argue is, well, back

0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 3>when the when the government asked you, miss Ventura, did

0:29:57.600 --> 0:30:02.600
<v Speaker 3>you feel you had to do those things? You responded,

0:30:03.400 --> 0:30:05.720
<v Speaker 3>it was the only way I could spend time with him.

0:30:07.600 --> 0:30:10.480
<v Speaker 3>And then those twelve jurors, Carlos King are gonna have

0:30:10.520 --> 0:30:16.160
<v Speaker 3>to decide for themselves individually. Do I think that's coercion?

0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:19.880
<v Speaker 3>Do I think when Sean Combs says, if you were

0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:24.080
<v Speaker 3>to believe the testimony, when Shan Combs says, if you don't,

0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:29.640
<v Speaker 3>if this prostitute man I flew in from wherever for

0:30:29.760 --> 0:30:31.640
<v Speaker 3>the freak off that you know that's how we get

0:30:31.680 --> 0:30:33.920
<v Speaker 3>down and you know that's how you and my lady,

0:30:34.160 --> 0:30:36.200
<v Speaker 3>and you know that's how you get my time and attention,

0:30:36.680 --> 0:30:39.000
<v Speaker 3>and you want that And if you don't do it

0:30:39.160 --> 0:30:42.000
<v Speaker 3>right now tonight, I'm gonna release these sex tapes for

0:30:42.080 --> 0:30:43.280
<v Speaker 3>all the world to see.

0:30:43.560 --> 0:30:45.640
<v Speaker 4>Juror says, is that force.

0:30:46.840 --> 0:30:46.959
<v Speaker 3>Is?

0:30:47.000 --> 0:30:47.200
<v Speaker 2>That?

0:30:47.480 --> 0:30:53.040
<v Speaker 3>Is that Sean Comb's enforcing overt willpower over her such

0:30:53.200 --> 0:30:56.240
<v Speaker 3>that she doesn't feel free to say no to it.

0:30:56.720 --> 0:30:58.040
<v Speaker 4>That's the question of this case.

0:30:58.640 --> 0:30:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Abony K.

0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Williams that, first of all, that's that was powerful in

0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the sense of really understanding the magnitude of this case,

0:31:07.040 --> 0:31:10.600
<v Speaker 1>the dynamic of this case, the sensitivity. You know, and

0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:12.760
<v Speaker 1>we watch a lot of court shows, movies and all

0:31:12.800 --> 0:31:16.400
<v Speaker 1>that stuff, but what we always know is when you

0:31:16.480 --> 0:31:21.360
<v Speaker 1>say something like you said, the defence can take that

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:25.200
<v Speaker 1>one SoundBite and paint a different picture for the Jewors.

0:31:25.560 --> 0:31:27.560
<v Speaker 2>So what we did learn today is.

0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:37.520
<v Speaker 1>Cassie accepted the twenty million dollars settlement from Puff. When

0:31:38.080 --> 0:31:42.680
<v Speaker 1>she and her legal team revealed to all of us

0:31:42.800 --> 0:31:48.000
<v Speaker 1>last year what she was going two years Oh my god,

0:31:48.000 --> 0:31:51.560
<v Speaker 1>it's like yesterday, two years ago. What is so interesting

0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:53.160
<v Speaker 1>about that to me is this, I would love to

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:56.320
<v Speaker 1>get your legal education educate us on this.

0:31:56.400 --> 0:31:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me.

0:31:57.200 --> 0:32:00.400
<v Speaker 1>It was said today that she was writing a book

0:32:01.040 --> 0:32:04.200
<v Speaker 1>and was going to release it and she gave him

0:32:04.200 --> 0:32:08.920
<v Speaker 1>a heads up. Did she ask for a did Cassie

0:32:09.160 --> 0:32:13.120
<v Speaker 1>ask for money in order to not release the book?

0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Did he say no? Did she then release what she

0:32:16.320 --> 0:32:19.520
<v Speaker 1>went through publicly? And then did he settle with her

0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:21.240
<v Speaker 1>less than twenty four hours after that?

0:32:21.800 --> 0:32:24.280
<v Speaker 3>So my understanding of the facts based off of the

0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:26.720
<v Speaker 3>reporting that I've been able to get, because that's all

0:32:26.720 --> 0:32:28.560
<v Speaker 3>we can get. You know, unless you're in the press pool.

0:32:28.680 --> 0:32:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Actually there is no press pool, so unless you're in

0:32:30.520 --> 0:32:33.840
<v Speaker 3>the courtroom. Really, from per my reporting, this is the

0:32:34.000 --> 0:32:38.480
<v Speaker 3>order Carlos. She writes the book, shows it to her

0:32:38.480 --> 0:32:42.480
<v Speaker 3>mother said her intention with writing the book is ultimately

0:32:42.520 --> 0:32:45.520
<v Speaker 3>for Sean Combs to see it, and she hopes it

0:32:45.560 --> 0:32:52.480
<v Speaker 3>brings remorse, so she then contacts him through his team. Specifically,

0:32:52.480 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 3>she names kk Okay in a sense a high level

0:32:55.560 --> 0:32:58.960
<v Speaker 3>assistant to Sean Colmes, and says, get him these chapters.

0:32:59.320 --> 0:33:04.920
<v Speaker 3>This happens, someone from his team offers thirty million dollars.

0:33:04.960 --> 0:33:08.080
<v Speaker 3>So it's my understanding, Carlos that she didn't necessarily ask,

0:33:08.560 --> 0:33:15.720
<v Speaker 3>because that would be the height of extortion. Quite frankly, now,

0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:18.720
<v Speaker 3>she would be stepping into criminal territory, Carlos. Baby, if

0:33:18.760 --> 0:33:20.840
<v Speaker 3>I say, look at these pictures I got to you, Carlos,

0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:22.600
<v Speaker 3>and all it takes for me not to show them

0:33:22.600 --> 0:33:26.560
<v Speaker 3>to the world is thirty thousand dollars, I've extorted you

0:33:27.400 --> 0:33:30.080
<v Speaker 3>at that point. Now this is not about you anymore.

0:33:30.080 --> 0:33:32.680
<v Speaker 3>Now it's about me and my criminal activity of extortion.

0:33:33.000 --> 0:33:35.440
<v Speaker 3>So I didn't get that. She said, hey, here are

0:33:35.440 --> 0:33:38.360
<v Speaker 3>the chapters, read them and weep. Give me thirty million

0:33:38.400 --> 0:33:39.400
<v Speaker 3>and I'll make them go away.

0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:40.120
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no no.

0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:43.880
<v Speaker 3>She wrote the chapters, She previewed them by sending them

0:33:43.920 --> 0:33:46.680
<v Speaker 3>to him, and his team read them. They read them

0:33:46.920 --> 0:33:50.960
<v Speaker 3>and said, we will give you thirty million to make

0:33:51.040 --> 0:33:54.000
<v Speaker 3>this whole thing go away. And then at some point.

0:33:54.200 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 3>I think that was kind of tabled, if you will.

0:33:58.000 --> 0:34:01.320
<v Speaker 3>I have to believe, because before every civil suit is filed,

0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:05.680
<v Speaker 3>there's normally always pre trial conversations with the or pre

0:34:05.760 --> 0:34:08.719
<v Speaker 3>filing conversations, I should say, between the lawyers. So I

0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:11.799
<v Speaker 3>have to believe. Cassie's civil lawyer, So this is not

0:34:11.840 --> 0:34:14.880
<v Speaker 3>the government or the FEDS. This is her personal civil

0:34:15.080 --> 0:34:18.399
<v Speaker 3>lawyer that took her case on retainer knowing that if

0:34:18.440 --> 0:34:21.000
<v Speaker 3>they were successful in recovering anything, he would he or

0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:24.160
<v Speaker 3>she would get a third Okay, how that's how those

0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:25.719
<v Speaker 3>deals work.

0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:27.319
<v Speaker 4>M hm, and you take it on.

0:34:27.680 --> 0:34:31.120
<v Speaker 3>That's a contingency deal typical of a civil case. They

0:34:31.120 --> 0:34:33.040
<v Speaker 3>went to Seaan Colmebs and his team and said, hey,

0:34:33.040 --> 0:34:35.399
<v Speaker 3>we're about to file this suit, and they probably gave

0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:37.840
<v Speaker 3>them maybe not everything that was in the suit, Carlos,

0:34:37.880 --> 0:34:40.280
<v Speaker 3>but a lot of it. You know, the key Cudding

0:34:40.320 --> 0:34:43.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure was in it. I'm sure the hotel incident

0:34:43.840 --> 0:34:45.640
<v Speaker 3>was in it, because they knew they had that videotape

0:34:45.640 --> 0:34:49.640
<v Speaker 3>to pull from and say, hey, if you don't make

0:34:49.680 --> 0:34:53.520
<v Speaker 3>our client hole in some way fiscally right now, we're

0:34:53.520 --> 0:34:55.279
<v Speaker 3>going to take this and file it and it's going

0:34:55.360 --> 0:34:57.400
<v Speaker 3>to be a public record and then the public can

0:34:57.440 --> 0:35:01.520
<v Speaker 3>figure it out. And Shawn comes Is team you know,

0:35:01.640 --> 0:35:04.440
<v Speaker 3>said we'll go do it, and they went and did it.

0:35:04.520 --> 0:35:07.680
<v Speaker 3>November twenty twenty three, and twenty four hours later, the

0:35:07.719 --> 0:35:10.560
<v Speaker 3>twenty million dollar settlement happened. I have to believe that

0:35:11.000 --> 0:35:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Sean Combs thought that Cassie was still in such a

0:35:13.560 --> 0:35:19.160
<v Speaker 3>state of humiliation and grief and trauma that she would

0:35:19.200 --> 0:35:24.320
<v Speaker 3>never want the world to know that about her because

0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:27.000
<v Speaker 3>that was his. And that actually goes to the prosecution.

0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:30.279
<v Speaker 3>Going back now to the criminal elements required for this

0:35:30.320 --> 0:35:33.359
<v Speaker 3>current case we're on Carlos, that sounds a little bit

0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:38.440
<v Speaker 3>like the coursive tactic that was maybe at play to

0:35:38.680 --> 0:35:40.720
<v Speaker 3>silence his alleged victim.

0:35:41.920 --> 0:35:44.080
<v Speaker 4>Certainly, you wouldn't want anybody to know that you were

0:35:44.200 --> 0:35:46.720
<v Speaker 4>drowning in p literally.

0:35:47.360 --> 0:35:49.520
<v Speaker 3>Certainly you wouldn't want anybody to know that you had

0:35:49.640 --> 0:35:53.440
<v Speaker 3>STDs and UTIs and coal sores. And certainly you wouldn't

0:35:53.520 --> 0:35:55.640
<v Speaker 3>want the America and the world to see you as

0:35:55.680 --> 0:35:57.920
<v Speaker 3>such a.

0:35:57.080 --> 0:35:59.719
<v Speaker 4>Tragic horrors figure. I'm just saying, you know.

0:36:01.320 --> 0:36:03.759
<v Speaker 2>What they Yeah, and then that.

0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:08.680
<v Speaker 3>Type of psycho that's the psychological warfare that can absolutely

0:36:08.719 --> 0:36:13.239
<v Speaker 3>Carlos be a part of coercion, making you feel you

0:36:13.320 --> 0:36:18.240
<v Speaker 3>cannot say no, making you feel you cannot tell, making

0:36:18.280 --> 0:36:21.000
<v Speaker 3>you feel you can't as every many people in the

0:36:21.000 --> 0:36:23.640
<v Speaker 3>common well just leave, just run away. Well, if she

0:36:23.680 --> 0:36:26.320
<v Speaker 3>feels that she runs away, you're gonna release the tape,

0:36:26.640 --> 0:36:29.560
<v Speaker 3>or she feels if she tells, you're going to make

0:36:29.640 --> 0:36:31.279
<v Speaker 3>it so bad for her that she can't get a

0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:36.080
<v Speaker 3>record deal in the industry. That's what the prosecution is

0:36:36.160 --> 0:36:39.360
<v Speaker 3>ultimately going to lead us to by way of the

0:36:39.440 --> 0:36:41.920
<v Speaker 3>coercion argument. And then if you bring in more people

0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:47.359
<v Speaker 3>to enforce the coersion, like oh, my man's gonna make

0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:50.520
<v Speaker 3>sure that all the DJs and such and such that

0:36:50.680 --> 0:36:53.399
<v Speaker 3>they don't never play none of your shit, My my

0:36:53.400 --> 0:36:56.360
<v Speaker 3>my girl and her girl's gonna make sure no producers

0:36:56.360 --> 0:36:59.319
<v Speaker 3>work with you in the industry, All of that can

0:36:59.360 --> 0:37:02.399
<v Speaker 3>be made you. These are hypotheticals rain drops, But I'm

0:37:02.440 --> 0:37:05.799
<v Speaker 3>saying this is what corrosion could look like, and that

0:37:05.880 --> 0:37:09.640
<v Speaker 3>also would be getting working in concert, conspiring. That is

0:37:09.680 --> 0:37:13.480
<v Speaker 3>what conspiracy could look like. To execute the corision. We

0:37:13.520 --> 0:37:17.920
<v Speaker 3>can conspire carlos to work together to execute coercion, just

0:37:17.960 --> 0:37:21.440
<v Speaker 3>like we can conspire to work together to execute physical abuse.

0:37:21.719 --> 0:37:25.160
<v Speaker 3>Just like we can conspire to work together to execute kidnapping.

0:37:26.280 --> 0:37:28.600
<v Speaker 3>Get in this car right now, or I'm gonna release

0:37:28.640 --> 0:37:33.399
<v Speaker 3>the tapes. That's corision, and kidnapping could be because you're

0:37:33.400 --> 0:37:35.840
<v Speaker 3>forcing me into a space I don't want. I'm not

0:37:35.960 --> 0:37:39.520
<v Speaker 3>voluntarily in. Or you're not letting me leave your home.

0:37:41.440 --> 0:37:44.239
<v Speaker 3>I'm not free to leave because of the force of

0:37:44.320 --> 0:37:47.359
<v Speaker 3>will and threat, you're imparting my way. But then that's

0:37:47.360 --> 0:37:50.399
<v Speaker 3>why it's twelve jurors, because another juror can hear all

0:37:50.400 --> 0:37:53.319
<v Speaker 3>of that, is say, yeah, it sounds real bad, but

0:37:53.360 --> 0:37:54.280
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if it's bad.

0:37:54.200 --> 0:37:56.120
<v Speaker 4>Enough that you just couldn't free yourself.

0:37:56.640 --> 0:37:59.120
<v Speaker 3>And that's why these cases are very interesting, and that's

0:37:59.120 --> 0:38:01.200
<v Speaker 3>why there's twelve differ and people on that jury box.

0:38:01.600 --> 0:38:06.799
<v Speaker 1>And for the record, if Pop would have settled initially,

0:38:07.280 --> 0:38:08.320
<v Speaker 1>none of this would be happening.

0:38:08.440 --> 0:38:12.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't believe you listened to holding court enough. I

0:38:12.080 --> 0:38:15.640
<v Speaker 3>don't believe that I'm just messing with you. I don't

0:38:15.640 --> 0:38:18.080
<v Speaker 3>believe we would be here talking. None of it is today,

0:38:18.320 --> 0:38:22.080
<v Speaker 3>I think all if we are to believe the majority

0:38:22.120 --> 0:38:25.319
<v Speaker 3>of what Cassie has said thus far consistently by the way,

0:38:25.560 --> 0:38:28.120
<v Speaker 3>which gives her some credibility in my personal book and

0:38:28.160 --> 0:38:31.440
<v Speaker 3>my legal one, I believe all this young lady really

0:38:31.520 --> 0:38:37.719
<v Speaker 3>really wanted was acknowledgment, acknowledgment that what she endured was

0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:40.400
<v Speaker 3>beyond the pale, beyond scope.

0:38:40.960 --> 0:38:43.280
<v Speaker 4>She didn't deserve it, and it was wrong.

0:38:43.960 --> 0:38:46.799
<v Speaker 3>And I think had she gotten that acknowledgment Carlos by

0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:49.399
<v Speaker 3>way of the twenty million doc, because frankly, I'm gonna

0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:50.359
<v Speaker 3>tell you, I was shocked to hear it was only

0:38:50.360 --> 0:38:52.560
<v Speaker 3>twenty million dollars today. I thought, for sure did it

0:38:52.600 --> 0:38:56.440
<v Speaker 3>was upwards of fifty million dollars because the demand was

0:38:56.480 --> 0:38:58.080
<v Speaker 3>I think in the seventies. I think it was around

0:38:58.080 --> 0:39:01.160
<v Speaker 3>seventy something million. May I think if she had gotten

0:39:01.160 --> 0:39:04.120
<v Speaker 3>her twenty million dollar check, which is some form of

0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:08.479
<v Speaker 3>acknowledgment of culpability, not legally legally, it's not that at all,

0:39:08.760 --> 0:39:11.120
<v Speaker 3>but I believe that most people that receive a check

0:39:11.200 --> 0:39:11.960
<v Speaker 3>feel that way.

0:39:12.160 --> 0:39:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Alive.

0:39:12.600 --> 0:39:15.480
<v Speaker 3>Gretchen Carlson from Roger L's, with the fox of it all,

0:39:15.719 --> 0:39:17.239
<v Speaker 3>I was there for that, you know.

0:39:17.760 --> 0:39:18.960
<v Speaker 4>I think that that.

0:39:18.920 --> 0:39:25.160
<v Speaker 3>Probably would have satisfied enough of her desire desired outcome.

0:39:25.320 --> 0:39:29.600
<v Speaker 3>When it came to the alleged behavior, it wasn't done

0:39:30.040 --> 0:39:32.879
<v Speaker 3>the lawsuit was fired. At that point, she had nothing

0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:35.160
<v Speaker 3>else to lose. We already knew her name, We already

0:39:35.200 --> 0:39:37.280
<v Speaker 3>knew it was her. We already knew she had gotten

0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:41.200
<v Speaker 3>beaten and drugged and raped and participated, whether voluntary or

0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:47.280
<v Speaker 3>not voluntary, We know she had participated in some extraordinarily salacious, vile,

0:39:48.320 --> 0:39:52.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, unconscionable activities. So at that point, I think

0:39:52.160 --> 0:39:54.799
<v Speaker 3>it became game on, so to speak. And so now

0:39:54.880 --> 0:39:58.719
<v Speaker 3>let's cooperate with the prosecution and let's move all the

0:39:58.719 --> 0:40:02.680
<v Speaker 3>pieces on the chessboard for civil and criminal. And that's

0:40:02.680 --> 0:40:03.960
<v Speaker 3>why we're talking about the case today.

0:40:04.239 --> 0:40:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Last question for you.

0:40:05.600 --> 0:40:09.600
<v Speaker 1>We see that his teenage daughters are there that he

0:40:09.680 --> 0:40:13.640
<v Speaker 1>had with the Lake Importer and Sarah Chapman and Sarah

0:40:13.760 --> 0:40:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Chapman thank you. Sarah's their daughter together named Chance. We

0:40:18.840 --> 0:40:25.040
<v Speaker 1>see his his first child's mother, Missa Hilton, who's with

0:40:25.080 --> 0:40:28.760
<v Speaker 1>the Walker, show up. His mom showed up, his sons

0:40:28.800 --> 0:40:33.839
<v Speaker 1>show up, his his his his theen weren't married. So

0:40:33.920 --> 0:40:37.040
<v Speaker 1>his bonus son, Christian, yes, son, I'll be sure, showed up.

0:40:38.840 --> 0:40:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Why do you think it was important for the defense

0:40:42.960 --> 0:40:48.480
<v Speaker 1>to bring in his family? But importantly, his very young

0:40:48.640 --> 0:40:51.960
<v Speaker 1>teenage daughters who I read. No, I don't know if

0:40:52.000 --> 0:40:55.440
<v Speaker 1>it's true, but I've read that the information Cassie speaking

0:40:55.440 --> 0:40:59.560
<v Speaker 1>about obviously is so severe that his teenage daughters.

0:40:59.239 --> 0:41:01.239
<v Speaker 2>Had to lead the room. Why are they even be

0:41:01.280 --> 0:41:02.000
<v Speaker 2>in the first place.

0:41:02.480 --> 0:41:04.439
<v Speaker 3>I'm so glad you asked this on the way out,

0:41:04.560 --> 0:41:07.880
<v Speaker 3>because I had some thoughts around this. So conventional wisdom

0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:13.040
<v Speaker 3>tells us as lawyers, right, especially defense lawyers, that we

0:41:13.080 --> 0:41:17.520
<v Speaker 3>want to humanize and sympathize our clients to the best

0:41:17.520 --> 0:41:20.760
<v Speaker 3>of our ability, and that's good legal advice and skill.

0:41:20.880 --> 0:41:21.680
<v Speaker 4>That is true.

0:41:22.200 --> 0:41:26.319
<v Speaker 3>It's the reason that you saw Rihanna and Asab Rocky's

0:41:26.320 --> 0:41:31.120
<v Speaker 3>two little baby cute sons in court on his verdict day.

0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:34.839
<v Speaker 3>Here's the difference, though, So that's the why, that's the

0:41:34.840 --> 0:41:37.320
<v Speaker 3>theory around why they would be there in the first place.

0:41:37.360 --> 0:41:38.560
<v Speaker 4>To answer your question.

0:41:40.680 --> 0:41:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Here's where it's problematic for me as both an attorney

0:41:44.200 --> 0:41:49.520
<v Speaker 3>and a human being. Quite frankly, and now as a parent. Okay,

0:41:50.040 --> 0:41:54.279
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I'm ajuror looking at especially like

0:41:54.320 --> 0:41:57.040
<v Speaker 3>you said, the three youngest girls, right, It's one thing

0:41:58.239 --> 0:42:00.880
<v Speaker 3>Justin's thirty one years old. We could argue he's a

0:42:00.920 --> 0:42:07.080
<v Speaker 3>grown man, Christian I believe at some point these are

0:42:07.200 --> 0:42:10.600
<v Speaker 3>older children. Okay, so I think you can make the

0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:13.759
<v Speaker 3>argument that they could stomach hearing a lot of this.

0:42:14.400 --> 0:42:18.759
<v Speaker 3>I think when you're talking about these young teenage still girls,

0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:25.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm now questioning the wisdom of you understanding what best

0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:28.840
<v Speaker 3>interest of the child means, and that should always be

0:42:29.040 --> 0:42:33.840
<v Speaker 3>our north star as parents period. We should always only

0:42:33.920 --> 0:42:36.680
<v Speaker 3>be doing what is in the best interest of our children.

0:42:37.000 --> 0:42:38.799
<v Speaker 4>So while I understand.

0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:43.480
<v Speaker 3>A legal theory or impulse to show, look how great

0:42:43.480 --> 0:42:45.799
<v Speaker 3>of a father he must be for these kids to

0:42:45.840 --> 0:42:48.600
<v Speaker 3>be in the galley supporting him, look at how great

0:42:48.600 --> 0:42:50.840
<v Speaker 3>of an ex husband he must be, or not husband

0:42:50.840 --> 0:42:52.920
<v Speaker 3>because he never married a motherfucker, But look at how

0:42:52.960 --> 0:42:56.080
<v Speaker 3>great of an ex boyfriend or baby daddy or great son.

0:42:56.160 --> 0:42:59.080
<v Speaker 4>Because it is Jenis Colmbs in the courtroom, I believe

0:42:59.120 --> 0:42:59.560
<v Speaker 4>she was.

0:42:59.680 --> 0:43:04.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, you know, so look at who's showing up

0:43:04.000 --> 0:43:07.200
<v Speaker 3>for him. I understand that, Carlos, But if I'm on

0:43:07.200 --> 0:43:11.320
<v Speaker 3>this jury, I'm also wondering, well, damn, are you that

0:43:11.560 --> 0:43:12.480
<v Speaker 3>self centered?

0:43:12.719 --> 0:43:13.719
<v Speaker 4>Selfish?

0:43:13.760 --> 0:43:18.840
<v Speaker 3>And either that or so unaware of the innate trauma

0:43:19.239 --> 0:43:22.640
<v Speaker 3>that is inherent when your daughters, Whether you did it

0:43:22.760 --> 0:43:26.480
<v Speaker 3>or not irrelevant, Actually that your daughters are having to

0:43:26.600 --> 0:43:32.760
<v Speaker 3>bear witness and be in an environment so traumatic, so dark,

0:43:33.280 --> 0:43:36.040
<v Speaker 3>so toxic. I would think, even if you did nothing wrong,

0:43:36.120 --> 0:43:40.840
<v Speaker 3>mister Combs, you would think so much of your responsibility

0:43:40.960 --> 0:43:47.359
<v Speaker 3>to your teenage daughters to protect them from such testimony.

0:43:48.000 --> 0:43:50.319
<v Speaker 3>And the fact that you between those two choices, because

0:43:50.320 --> 0:43:53.879
<v Speaker 3>we all have choices, Carlos, you and your legal team said, nah,

0:43:54.280 --> 0:43:56.359
<v Speaker 3>we feel it's more important for the jury to see

0:43:56.360 --> 0:43:59.600
<v Speaker 3>these girls and try to sympathize with Sean Comes, our client,

0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:06.480
<v Speaker 3>and then to protect the emotional wellbeing, the psychological stability

0:44:07.120 --> 0:44:10.120
<v Speaker 3>of these very formative young girls, these young girls, Carlos,

0:44:10.160 --> 0:44:14.160
<v Speaker 3>who are in this very moment shaping their understanding of sexuality,

0:44:14.760 --> 0:44:20.080
<v Speaker 3>their understanding of consent, their understanding of body autonomy, their

0:44:20.200 --> 0:44:23.440
<v Speaker 3>understanding of their own ability to say yes no to

0:44:23.560 --> 0:44:27.000
<v Speaker 3>certain So I would actually to me, this was a

0:44:27.080 --> 0:44:30.399
<v Speaker 3>miss on the defense for the three young daughters. Now

0:44:30.480 --> 0:44:34.759
<v Speaker 3>the older sons, the mama get yes. Because God knows,

0:44:34.840 --> 0:44:37.319
<v Speaker 3>hardly anybody from the industry has said a motherfucking thing

0:44:37.320 --> 0:44:40.640
<v Speaker 3>on behalf of Shawn Colmbs in positivity or defense to

0:44:40.760 --> 0:44:45.520
<v Speaker 3>be noted. Okay, just something to note. So showing your

0:44:45.560 --> 0:44:48.799
<v Speaker 3>family and support. Yeah, let's make you human. That's why

0:44:48.800 --> 0:44:51.880
<v Speaker 3>he got those sweaters on every day in court versus

0:44:52.120 --> 0:44:55.040
<v Speaker 3>the power suit. You know, that's why you know they've

0:44:55.040 --> 0:44:56.960
<v Speaker 3>got him. I think Sunny Houston said on the view,

0:44:56.960 --> 0:45:01.080
<v Speaker 3>he's looking like mister Rogers, you know. Yeah, absolute the glasses.

0:45:01.920 --> 0:45:03.759
<v Speaker 3>What you doing with them glasses on? Carlo and I'm

0:45:03.760 --> 0:45:04.200
<v Speaker 3>just playing with you.

0:45:04.360 --> 0:45:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Nah.

0:45:07.640 --> 0:45:12.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we saw this with the Menandaz brothers, you know,

0:45:12.120 --> 0:45:16.480
<v Speaker 3>thirty years ago. Let's try to humanize and soften the defendant.

0:45:16.719 --> 0:45:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Got it cool, Every good defense lawyer does it. I

0:45:19.239 --> 0:45:21.880
<v Speaker 3>did it too with my clients. But these young girls

0:45:21.880 --> 0:45:25.880
<v Speaker 3>are very tender, They're very vulnerable, They're very impressionable, and

0:45:26.120 --> 0:45:28.959
<v Speaker 3>I would think a good father that cares about their

0:45:29.040 --> 0:45:31.960
<v Speaker 3>interests would protect them at all costs, even if he

0:45:32.080 --> 0:45:33.840
<v Speaker 3>was completely factually innocent.

0:45:34.280 --> 0:45:35.799
<v Speaker 4>You take my we.

0:45:35.800 --> 0:45:39.279
<v Speaker 3>Saw this in a time to kill, you know, take

0:45:39.360 --> 0:45:40.040
<v Speaker 3>take her out.

0:45:39.880 --> 0:45:40.640
<v Speaker 4>Of this courtroom.

0:45:40.920 --> 0:45:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Samuel L.

0:45:41.480 --> 0:45:44.240
<v Speaker 3>Jackson didn't want his daughter's fictitious but you know, didn't

0:45:44.239 --> 0:45:46.600
<v Speaker 3>want his daughter to see that he and he was taught.

0:45:46.640 --> 0:45:47.960
<v Speaker 4>He ended up getting not guilty.

0:45:48.280 --> 0:45:51.040
<v Speaker 3>But there's certain things a good parent wants to protect

0:45:51.080 --> 0:45:53.359
<v Speaker 3>their child from. So I think the call on This

0:45:53.719 --> 0:45:57.400
<v Speaker 3>looked selfish, it looked contrived, and it looked desperate.

0:45:57.480 --> 0:46:02.040
<v Speaker 1>Quite frankly, Emney K Williams, I mean, listen, there's more

0:46:02.120 --> 0:46:02.560
<v Speaker 1>to come.

0:46:02.719 --> 0:46:06.359
<v Speaker 2>Ebony will be joining me next week to recap. Like

0:46:06.440 --> 0:46:08.239
<v Speaker 2>she said this, this trial is.

0:46:08.200 --> 0:46:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Going on for quite a while and on True Crime

0:46:11.600 --> 0:46:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Thursdays with MBUK Williams, we will be breaking down the

0:46:14.600 --> 0:46:18.040
<v Speaker 1>cage now, Ebony, we're before I let you go again.

0:46:18.800 --> 0:46:20.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh oh, I know you're busy.

0:46:20.640 --> 0:46:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I know that you have been doing your homework.

0:46:23.080 --> 0:46:25.879
<v Speaker 1>You are everywhere when it comes to all the things

0:46:25.920 --> 0:46:29.000
<v Speaker 1>you have going on. Not sure if you heard the news,

0:46:29.320 --> 0:46:32.840
<v Speaker 1>but there's been so much controversy, not sipping.

0:46:34.440 --> 0:46:39.040
<v Speaker 2>Surrounding your former show, The Real Housewives of New York City.

0:46:39.920 --> 0:46:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Long story short, The network release their upcoming shows, and

0:46:44.800 --> 0:46:47.680
<v Speaker 1>two notable shows were not on that release, and it

0:46:47.760 --> 0:46:50.600
<v Speaker 1>was The Real Housewives of New Jersey but also New

0:46:50.680 --> 0:46:55.400
<v Speaker 1>York City. Page six two days afterwards ran a report

0:46:55.800 --> 0:46:58.880
<v Speaker 1>that The Real Housewives of New York City was actually

0:46:58.960 --> 0:47:02.359
<v Speaker 1>allegedly camps old and was not going to come back

0:47:02.400 --> 0:47:06.080
<v Speaker 1>in the foreseeable future. Bravo has since then said the

0:47:06.120 --> 0:47:08.680
<v Speaker 1>show is not canceled and that there's still in the

0:47:08.760 --> 0:47:14.640
<v Speaker 1>casting process, Bethany Frankel did a TikTok radio child make

0:47:14.719 --> 0:47:17.440
<v Speaker 1>up Free Honey and talked about being an end of

0:47:17.480 --> 0:47:21.960
<v Speaker 1>an era and what the what the show was and

0:47:22.239 --> 0:47:27.000
<v Speaker 1>due to her words, not my Ebany K Williams, but

0:47:27.239 --> 0:47:33.240
<v Speaker 1>due to the decision of not sticking with the original cast,

0:47:33.880 --> 0:47:37.319
<v Speaker 1>was the demise of this show. Now Bravo has said

0:47:37.480 --> 0:47:38.440
<v Speaker 1>it's not canceled.

0:47:38.640 --> 0:47:39.080
<v Speaker 2>We'll let it.

0:47:39.120 --> 0:47:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Get your thoughts on every single aspect of this.

0:47:44.000 --> 0:47:47.560
<v Speaker 3>You are you, You're good. Carlos, You're very good. You're

0:47:48.400 --> 0:47:51.560
<v Speaker 3>what you do, My brother absolute you. Okay, So my my,

0:47:51.560 --> 0:47:54.120
<v Speaker 3>my high level take is this. I think it's for

0:47:54.160 --> 0:47:57.200
<v Speaker 3>the best. If this, I think it's for the best.

0:47:57.239 --> 0:48:00.920
<v Speaker 3>If the show does not come back right now, I

0:48:00.920 --> 0:48:02.560
<v Speaker 3>think it might be for the best if the show

0:48:02.560 --> 0:48:06.960
<v Speaker 3>does not come back. Ever, and contrary to some interpretation,

0:48:07.080 --> 0:48:09.319
<v Speaker 3>it's not sour grapes. Let me tell you why I

0:48:09.400 --> 0:48:15.480
<v Speaker 3>say that. I say that because Roney seasons roughly one

0:48:15.520 --> 0:48:18.200
<v Speaker 3>through twelve, So this is before my arrival, when the

0:48:18.280 --> 0:48:24.239
<v Speaker 3>cast was homogeneously white. For most people, most viewers of

0:48:24.280 --> 0:48:27.960
<v Speaker 3>the show was extraordinarily enjoyable. It had its moments of

0:48:28.160 --> 0:48:31.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, darkness, with lu Anne and her drinking and

0:48:31.040 --> 0:48:37.760
<v Speaker 3>some other different things, but generally speaking, Ronnie was a cultural,

0:48:37.840 --> 0:48:44.479
<v Speaker 3>lexicon enjoyable platform show. It also got a lot of heat,

0:48:44.640 --> 0:48:46.600
<v Speaker 3>as you know, The New York Times did a whole

0:48:46.680 --> 0:48:49.880
<v Speaker 3>article on not just Ronie, but Ronnie and all of

0:48:49.920 --> 0:48:54.600
<v Speaker 3>the housewived shows, basically indicting all of the white shows

0:48:55.080 --> 0:48:57.799
<v Speaker 3>for being all white shows in cities. Now it's one

0:48:57.800 --> 0:49:01.439
<v Speaker 3>thing of your all white show in Idaho where there's

0:49:01.560 --> 0:49:02.880
<v Speaker 3>next to no black population.

0:49:03.560 --> 0:49:04.719
<v Speaker 4>But at some point.

0:49:04.480 --> 0:49:07.359
<v Speaker 3>People started scratching their heads and really wondering, why is

0:49:07.680 --> 0:49:10.680
<v Speaker 3>a city with twenty five percent black population and twenty

0:49:10.719 --> 0:49:14.879
<v Speaker 3>six percent Latina population outlat of New York City, why

0:49:15.000 --> 0:49:20.200
<v Speaker 3>is it an exclusively white cast. The network heard the call,

0:49:21.200 --> 0:49:23.480
<v Speaker 3>they casted me to be the first black woman on

0:49:23.560 --> 0:49:27.840
<v Speaker 3>the cast. And what ensued was, to put it mildly,

0:49:27.920 --> 0:49:30.440
<v Speaker 3>Carlos and you know, we've talked about this at nauseum,

0:49:30.440 --> 0:49:32.239
<v Speaker 3>but it was, it was, it was.

0:49:32.280 --> 0:49:33.000
<v Speaker 4>It was horrific.

0:49:33.280 --> 0:49:38.279
<v Speaker 3>It was horrific at very high levels. Without going into

0:49:38.280 --> 0:49:40.920
<v Speaker 3>all of the details. What I think was most horrific

0:49:40.960 --> 0:49:44.520
<v Speaker 3>about it, and why I think it was so horrific

0:49:45.760 --> 0:49:49.360
<v Speaker 3>and traumatic, was because when we're talking about the premise

0:49:49.400 --> 0:49:52.160
<v Speaker 3>of housewives in general. Right, let's boom out for a second.

0:49:52.200 --> 0:49:54.640
<v Speaker 3>And you know this better than anybody because you are

0:49:54.640 --> 0:49:58.239
<v Speaker 3>the golden touch, okay of what this franchise when it's

0:49:58.280 --> 0:50:02.600
<v Speaker 3>at its best. You we were there, come about Atlanta, Okay,

0:50:02.680 --> 0:50:07.560
<v Speaker 3>and I think Jersey too, you produced.

0:50:06.360 --> 0:50:06.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so you.

0:50:07.120 --> 0:50:09.920
<v Speaker 3>I would say, I don't care when nobody says, I

0:50:09.920 --> 0:50:13.879
<v Speaker 3>would say, of all the franchise, those two in your

0:50:14.000 --> 0:50:17.440
<v Speaker 3>era were peak housewives. When we look back in twenty

0:50:17.520 --> 0:50:21.879
<v Speaker 3>years and forty years and we say what shifted culture indefinitely,

0:50:22.239 --> 0:50:25.160
<v Speaker 3>it will be the Teresa table flip and the knee

0:50:25.400 --> 0:50:27.960
<v Speaker 3>leaks of it all. Okay, close your legs to married men.

0:50:28.080 --> 0:50:32.240
<v Speaker 3>That those those types of moments, right, Okay, we can agree, agreed,

0:50:32.800 --> 0:50:36.880
<v Speaker 3>But what we're talking about in all these housewives, themes

0:50:37.760 --> 0:50:46.200
<v Speaker 3>entertaining on the basis of exploring wealth, money, class and society.

0:50:46.600 --> 0:50:49.040
<v Speaker 4>Is that a fair statement? Okay?

0:50:49.640 --> 0:50:52.640
<v Speaker 3>And here's what nobody really wanted to admit and still

0:50:52.960 --> 0:50:56.000
<v Speaker 3>really want admit when it comes to real Housewives of

0:50:56.000 --> 0:50:58.799
<v Speaker 3>New York City or and we saw a little bit

0:50:58.800 --> 0:51:00.359
<v Speaker 3>of it with Beverly Yiels, I would say a lot

0:51:00.360 --> 0:51:01.839
<v Speaker 3>of it with Beverly Hills. I think that's why our

0:51:01.840 --> 0:51:05.360
<v Speaker 3>good friend Garcela's not there. Now, when you start talking

0:51:05.400 --> 0:51:10.640
<v Speaker 3>about class and social standing and status, you're innately having

0:51:10.640 --> 0:51:11.640
<v Speaker 3>a race conversation.

0:51:12.760 --> 0:51:14.360
<v Speaker 4>You might not be doing it verbally.

0:51:14.520 --> 0:51:17.040
<v Speaker 3>You might not be saying, well, white women are here,

0:51:17.040 --> 0:51:19.600
<v Speaker 3>and black women are there, and white white girls are

0:51:19.640 --> 0:51:21.680
<v Speaker 3>this and and they're this level of beauty, and they're

0:51:21.719 --> 0:51:24.400
<v Speaker 3>this level of success, and the black girls are down here.

0:51:24.680 --> 0:51:26.880
<v Speaker 3>But it's baked into the cake. All you got to

0:51:26.920 --> 0:51:30.040
<v Speaker 3>do is read Isabelle Wilkinson's Cast or any other number

0:51:30.080 --> 0:51:34.400
<v Speaker 3>of great books that break down the innate social hierarchy

0:51:34.840 --> 0:51:38.560
<v Speaker 3>as it relates to America's cast system. We're not that

0:51:38.640 --> 0:51:45.320
<v Speaker 3>different than India, Carlos. Okay, there are assigned perceived slots

0:51:45.520 --> 0:51:48.120
<v Speaker 3>of the social order. And I don't care if you're

0:51:48.280 --> 0:51:55.200
<v Speaker 3>in New York or Beverly Hills. Okay, being black by

0:51:55.400 --> 0:52:01.319
<v Speaker 3>definition disqualifies you from sitting atop that social order, per

0:52:01.880 --> 0:52:04.759
<v Speaker 3>this framework that I'm describing. So when you put a

0:52:04.800 --> 0:52:07.719
<v Speaker 3>black woman on a cast with all white women or

0:52:07.760 --> 0:52:12.960
<v Speaker 3>mostly white women, it doesn't matter her beauty. In Garcell's case,

0:52:13.680 --> 0:52:20.600
<v Speaker 3>her distinguished an uncomparable resume in her business from the movies,

0:52:20.640 --> 0:52:23.760
<v Speaker 3>to the series, to all the things. It doesn't matter

0:52:23.880 --> 0:52:29.160
<v Speaker 3>her pedigree, it doesn't matter anything. But because she is black,

0:52:29.520 --> 0:52:32.960
<v Speaker 3>that is such a challenge to her castmate and to

0:52:33.120 --> 0:52:37.120
<v Speaker 3>many of the viewers Carlos to see her as truly

0:52:37.440 --> 0:52:41.760
<v Speaker 3>equal and equitable in terms of the social order of

0:52:42.040 --> 0:52:46.560
<v Speaker 3>the other women. And this was exacerbated on Roni because

0:52:46.640 --> 0:52:49.520
<v Speaker 3>these women, you know, kind of the more challenge they

0:52:49.560 --> 0:52:53.480
<v Speaker 3>are on the traditional roles of like education or pedigree,

0:52:53.600 --> 0:52:55.440
<v Speaker 3>or let's look at my cast look, look look at

0:52:55.440 --> 0:52:58.520
<v Speaker 3>the women. I was on the show with Ramona Luyne Sonya.

0:52:58.920 --> 0:53:02.680
<v Speaker 3>Sonya married well, Leuanne married pretty well. But that's not

0:53:02.719 --> 0:53:05.680
<v Speaker 3>their pedigree, that none of them come from it. So

0:53:05.719 --> 0:53:09.480
<v Speaker 3>the strongest piece of social currency they each held was

0:53:09.520 --> 0:53:14.080
<v Speaker 3>what whiteness. This is sociology one on one, okay. So

0:53:14.160 --> 0:53:18.560
<v Speaker 3>when whiteness is the thing that you that you hold

0:53:18.800 --> 0:53:22.279
<v Speaker 3>and society has told you makes you most special and

0:53:22.440 --> 0:53:27.160
<v Speaker 3>most valuable and most qualified and deserving of sitting atop

0:53:27.239 --> 0:53:31.400
<v Speaker 3>the social order of your society, you're you're gonna be

0:53:31.400 --> 0:53:36.520
<v Speaker 3>extremely threatened, put off, and dismissive and halfway disgusted by

0:53:36.640 --> 0:53:41.200
<v Speaker 3>a person of black race identity. Infiltrating that trying to

0:53:41.200 --> 0:53:45.160
<v Speaker 3>come in and participate in that Heaven forbid in some ways,

0:53:46.280 --> 0:53:52.400
<v Speaker 3>superseding you educationally, youth wise, beauty wise, all of these things.

0:53:52.800 --> 0:53:55.120
<v Speaker 3>So the long and short of it is this, Carlos,

0:53:55.920 --> 0:54:00.200
<v Speaker 3>those New York as it relates Toroni, it was always

0:54:00.239 --> 0:54:02.520
<v Speaker 3>going to and don't Just so for those that want

0:54:02.560 --> 0:54:04.279
<v Speaker 3>to say, yeah, it was just you, Ebany, you were

0:54:04.280 --> 0:54:06.680
<v Speaker 3>too much, you were too strong, that's fine. I'll totally

0:54:07.280 --> 0:54:09.279
<v Speaker 3>I'll take that projection because that's exactly what it is

0:54:09.320 --> 0:54:09.880
<v Speaker 3>and I'll take it.

0:54:10.320 --> 0:54:10.879
<v Speaker 4>So that's it.

0:54:11.040 --> 0:54:14.239
<v Speaker 1>Those are my thoughts, ladies, jentlemen, gays and bays being

0:54:14.320 --> 0:54:19.240
<v Speaker 1>comparable Ebony, Kay william I mean, there's nothing.

0:54:19.040 --> 0:54:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Else that we said after that. My drop for my
