Speaker 1: I want to address the latest news on Sean Diddy Combs.
Speaker 1: Combs lawyers for the music mogul father one hundred million
Speaker 1: dollar lawsuit today accused of NBC, Universal and Peacock for defamation.
Speaker 1: The suit is related to claims made by accuses in
Speaker 1: the documentary Diddy The Making of a Bad Boy, released
Speaker 1: earlier this year. The documentary makes several claims against Combs,
Speaker 1: including the sexual assault of miners, and accuses him of
Speaker 1: murdering a series of rivals and close friends, including longtime
Speaker 1: partner Kimberley, Porter Raptis, Christopher Biggie Wallace, of course notorious
Speaker 1: Big and Heavy d whose given name is Dwight Arrington Myers.
Speaker 1: Diddy's attorneys released the statement related to the suit that reads,
Speaker 1: in part quote, in making and broadcasting these falsehoods, among others,
Speaker 1: the companies seek only to capitalize on a public's appetite
Speaker 1: for scandal, without any regard for the truth, and at
Speaker 1: the expense of mister Coles's right to a fair trial.
Speaker 1: Mister comes brings this lawsuit to hold them accountable for
Speaker 1: the extraordinary damage their reckless statement have caused. End quote.
Speaker 1: Colmbs is currently being held in jail on federal sex
Speaker 1: trafficking and racketeering charges. As you all know, his trial
Speaker 1: is expected to begin later in this spring. Let me
Speaker 1: say this because it's important. I don't know about the
Speaker 1: innocence or guilt of P Diddy. One could easily presume
Speaker 1: he's guilty because of the video we saw of him
Speaker 1: beating up his ex girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. One would surmise,
Speaker 1: based on these docu series that have been put out
Speaker 1: about them, that there's a strong level of guilt. I
Speaker 1: have one person's looking at me and say, if any
Speaker 1: of it is true, he's a monster. Here's what I
Speaker 1: have to say. His lawyer is right. His lawyer is right.
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, this is America. You are innocent until
Speaker 1: proving guilty in the court of law. For those of
Speaker 1: you quit to say that's not applicable to the court
Speaker 1: of public opinion, let me remind you of something. While
Speaker 1: that is true, undoubtedly so, it does not negate the
Speaker 1: fact that the court of public opinion can influence the
Speaker 1: court of law, and by virtue of that reality, certain
Speaker 1: things shouldn't be exposed to the court of public opinion
Speaker 1: until a trial takes place. See that's the problem I
Speaker 1: said this a couple of weeks ago. It is wrong
Speaker 1: for these networks to be allowed to do these kinds
Speaker 1: of shows on him before his trial. Do whatever you
Speaker 1: gotta do, I do. I'll watch all the old J
Speaker 1: stuff if you want me to. I remember when when
Speaker 1: when when Courtney Vance imitated Johnny Cochrane, he was sensational. Okay,
Speaker 1: watching you know the old J stuff, and I get that,
Speaker 1: But to do something before the trial makes it that
Speaker 1: much harder for the defense team to find a jury
Speaker 1: of his peers who are unbiased and neutral and will
Speaker 1: only judge based on the evidence presented in the court
Speaker 1: of law. It's not right, even if he's guilty, it's
Speaker 1: not right, since his guilt hasn't been proven yet, for
Speaker 1: somebody to be allowed to be broadcasting these pieces talking
Speaker 1: about him. He can't defend himself, he can't say anything.
Speaker 1: He's at the mercy of former handlers, former employees, former colleagues,
Speaker 1: of former girlfriends and all of this. He can't say
Speaker 1: anything because he got to deal with sex trafficking and
Speaker 1: racketeering charges, and now is when everybody comes out with this.
Speaker 1: There's just something wrong with that. There's something wrong with that.
Speaker 1: Innocent until proven guilty. News is one thing. The video
Speaker 1: by Seenn exposing and beating up Cassie Ventura, that's news.
Speaker 1: That's news. You know, another charge coming down the pike,
Speaker 1: another alleged victim, that's news. But a docu sriies with
Speaker 1: a bunch of alligation being thrown out about who he was,
Speaker 1: what he did, how he lived, who he did it to,
Speaker 1: whether or not drugs and alcohol were involved, or baby
Speaker 1: oil and all of this other stuff. Wait a minute,
Speaker 1: Homeland Security coming out with us, that's news. That's news.
Speaker 1: That ain't a docu series. That ain't scandal. You know,
Speaker 1: that's news that ain't Scanner. It ain't how do you
Speaker 1: get away with murder? Dexter Ray Donovan and shit like it. No,
Speaker 1: ain't supposed to be that. They're supposed to be the
Speaker 1: news until the trial. So I applored his lawyer for
Speaker 1: taking this position, and I think it's important that he
Speaker 1: puts forth the best defense for himself possible, because indeed,
Speaker 1: it is absolutely true that his life is on the line,
Speaker 1: his brother's in trouble, in a world's freaking trouble, and
Speaker 1: I just hate to see stuff publicized before he goes
Speaker 1: to trial. It should have been during or after and
Speaker 1: during if they're secluded and they don't have access to
Speaker 1: see the Doctor series that's being put out of battle,
Speaker 1: it's like there's too many people out there trying to
Speaker 1: influence the public to convict them in the court of
Speaker 1: public opinion, thereby insinuating that it would influence the court
Speaker 1: of law. That ain't what our country is supposed to
Speaker 1: be about. It just isn't
