1
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Hey, the folks, is June third, Tuesday, June third. Welcome

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: to this episode of Amy and TJ. We continue to

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: be your one stop shot to catch you up on

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: the Ditty trial which is now and it's fourth another

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: day of testimonies in the books. We will go through

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: that for you in a second. That full day was

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,159
Speaker 1: described as combative. But as we record this robes we

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: sit here, today's court has begun and if we thought

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: yesterday was combative, today has already jumped off with fireworks

10
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: before the jury even comes into the room.

11
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 2: That's right.

12
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 3: So a man who was in the courtroom on Monday

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 3: apparently violated the order by the judge that referred to

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 3: their star witness as Mia. That was her pseudonym. That

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 3: was the former assistant to Ditty who says she was

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: raped by Ditty, who says she was sexually abused by Ditty. Well,

17
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 3: there was a man in the courtroom who used her

18
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: real name, her actual name on his YouTube channel and

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 3: violated that order. So he was also seen recording outside

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 3: the courthouse on Monday. So the judge granted a request

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 3: from prosecutors to ban this man from the courtroom if

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 3: he ever tries to return, and no word if there'll

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: be any further charges, because what he did is violated

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 3: court order, which I would believe would be considered criminal.

25
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: I have it right. This is court order and journalism right.

26
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 1: It's an understanding, and it's a long held and sacred rule.

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: You do not identify publicly a sexual assault accuser. You

28
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: just do not do that. So this is different still

29
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: from me, rotes, I am to your point. There was

30
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,199
Speaker 1: an order. This wasn't just a matter of an understanding

31
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: from news outlets. He ordered people not to identify her,

32
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: so there could be some penalties for him.

33
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: Correct. I would have think there would be.

34
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: In perhaps there should be, because this isn't just about

35
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 3: this case. This is a larger There's a reason why

36
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 3: judges put these orders in place, and why news outlets credited.

37
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 3: News outlets honor this idea that we don't out alleged

38
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 3: sexual assault victims, because you don't want to discourage any woman.

39
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 3: It's already hard enough to get up there and talk

40
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 3: about the worst, most humiliating moment of your life potentially.

41
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: So you have to be able to be afforded that.

42
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: Opportunity to not have your identity smeared everywhere people going

43
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: into your history and making revictimizing you, so to speak.

44
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: So that's just why that's in place, And so you'd

45
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: never want to discourage any woman or any member of

46
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 3: the community who's been sexually abused from coming forward.

47
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: And if you take a lot of these witnesses at

48
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: their word, they're scared to death of this man and

49
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: what he can do. So there's also that element of

50
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: putting this particular witness in some kind of danger by

51
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: identifying her. This is wildly irresponsible. I know he is,

52
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: and to a proven guilty, we understand, but she has

53
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: a story to tell and this just feels like an awful,

54
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: unnecessary and intentional violation, Like he's going forward, what is

55
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: he trying to do?

56
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: Well, it's interesting because you mentioned the fear there. There

57
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 3: are hardcore Sean ditty Combe's supporters in that courtroom, around

58
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: the courtroom and certainly around the world, and so that's concerning.

59
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 3: And to your point, there was another disruption before the

60
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: jurors came in from a Diddy supporter, so actually a woman.

61
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 3: The judge had to remove a woman earlier this morning

62
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 3: from yelling and disrupting the court. She was screaming out ditty,

63
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: these mother efforts laughing at you, and they had to

64
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 3: remove from court. So there are people who feel passionately

65
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: on both sides of the aisle.

66
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: All right, So that was again, folks, as we record this,

67
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: we're going to give you what happened in the full

68
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: day that's in the books, which was yesterday, as today's

69
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: court is just getting going. So we did want to at

70
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: least share some of the early tidbits coming out of

71
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: the courtroom today. Yesterday, Robes, we had two witnesses. We

72
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: had one person who was a representative of the Beverly

73
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: Hills Hotel, talked about receipts and whatnot, explained some things

74
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: to the jury. The other, of course, was Mia and Robes.

75
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: Mia has now been on the stand longer than they anticipated.

76
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: Mia is the former assistant who says she was raped

77
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: and sexually assaulted repeatedly over the years working for him.

78
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: They're a little behind schedule. They've had to rearrange some

79
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: other witnesses who had flights and whatnot because this one

80
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: got contentious. It went long, and you could tell Robes

81
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: how important this witness is to both sides, yes, exactly.

82
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 3: And cross examination meaning the questioning that happened from Diddy's

83
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: lawyers was intense, to say the least, to the point

84
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 3: where it got to be so much prosecutors pulled them

85
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 3: aside and had a sidebar with the judge and was saying, Hey,

86
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 3: they're badgering our witness. They are going too far and

87
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 3: being too harsh milk, and they even use the word harassment.

88
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: So that's how heated it got in the core room yesterday,

89
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 3: prosecutors trying to stop defense attorneys from their line of questioning.

90
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the just agreed with I think most of it.

91
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: They I think they're also called said the defense was

92
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: being sarcastic the dress. I don't see the sarcasm, but

93
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: the rest of what you said is accurate. So the

94
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: judge agreed, and the back and forth was pretty intense,

95
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: and it all kind of ropes had to do with

96
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: the witness's own words. They made her read a lot

97
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:36,679
Speaker 1: of her messages of love and adoration and inspiration from Diddy,

98
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: so they had to hear a long live They said,

99
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: about fifty Instagram messages and whatnot. They went through of

100
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: her seeming to enjoy what she was working.

101
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 2: I have to say, so we heard some of this

102
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: from the day before.

103
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: But when you really start reading what she not only

104
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 3: posted on Instagram, because maybe you could make the argument

105
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 3: that a lot of folks put what they wish their

106
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: life could be like her, the best version of whatever

107
00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 3: happened online.

108
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 2: But these direct.

109
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 3: Text messages to Diddy as late as twenty twenty two,

110
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: it is hard to get your head around some of

111
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 3: these things that she was texting him from. I guess

112
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 3: I believe they said from three years after she was

113
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 3: let go, all the way up until two three years ago.

114
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 3: I love you, I will always be here for you

115
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: in any capacity. I love you with all of my heart,

116
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 3: and I am here for you forever. These are all

117
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 3: texts that she sent him years after she claims she

118
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 3: was raped, sexually assaulted and continually verbally and physically abused

119
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 3: by it.

120
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: So that would last when you read I love you

121
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: with all my heart and I'm here for you forever.

122
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: She wrote that to Diddy in twenty twenty. She had

123
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: been getting sexually assaulted and raped by him, according to her,

124
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: since two thousand and nine, when she started working for him.

125
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,119
Speaker 1: She stopped in twenty seventeen, and then three years later

126
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: she sends that message. Look, she said plenty of times,

127
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: call my therapist. It's called psychological abuse. She's said plenty

128
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: of things that she was brainwashed.

129
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: Brainwashed was the thing she used yesterday.

130
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: But the jury, it's hard to understand it.

131
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: It's hard to the one exchange that gave me a

132
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 3: little bit of light into where she was thinking and

133
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 3: how she was explaining this. She was asked, why did

134
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 3: you try to keep the person who abused you happy?

135
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 3: And she said, because when he was happy, I was safe.

136
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 3: And I get that perhaps while you're working with him,

137
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 3: But once you've left, and you've been gone for years

138
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: and you have no reason to physically fear him, why

139
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: keep inserting yourself back into his life? Why keep telling

140
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: him you love him? Why keep telling him you miss him?

141
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: She saw their Netflix series on She's like, it makes

142
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: me miss you.

143
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 2: All of that's all hard to understand.

144
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure there is a therapist out there or someone

145
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: who deals with people who've been abused who can explain

146
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: this very easily and say, yes, this is even common

147
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: that you still do feel some kind and again it's not.

148
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: It wasn't all bad, So there was some point of

149
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: a loving relationship she had with Sean Diddy combs. I'm

150
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: just saying, for the matter of a jury sitting there

151
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: trying to get their head around that it's difficult. And

152
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: this was a tough back and forth, and the defense

153
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: by all the accounts made some headway in trying to

154
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,559
Speaker 1: go after her credibility. And you know, it was funny

155
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: at the very beginning. This is how the cross examination

156
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: started to ask her where she went to school? What

157
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: was your GPA? And immediately the prosecution objected and the

158
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: judge sustained the object It just has nothing to do

159
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: with nothing.

160
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 3: Well, he wanted to say, are you a smart girl?

161
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 3: And if you're a smart girl, why are you acting like.

162
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: So there you go, the humiliation and the things you

163
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: talk about. They set a tone from the very beginning

164
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: of how they were going to go.

165
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: I mean they flat out said she was lying and

166
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: was a money grabber, yes, and jumping in on the

167
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 3: me too movement.

168
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: They humiliated her. They harassed her for sure.

169
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 3: I mean absolutely, I thought one of the or bizarre

170
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 3: exchanges and I know it caught your eye as well

171
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 3: or your ear at least when there was a text

172
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 3: message between Mia and Diddy where she relates a dreams

173
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 3: she had to him that she had a dream she

174
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 3: was stuck in an elevator with R Kelly and that

175
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 3: he came and rescued her.

176
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: We're talking about R Kelly now all things in the

177
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: Diddy trial.

178
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: He is literally in prison right now for sex trafficking

179
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: and that comes up.

180
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: Convicted in twenty twenty two, three years ago.

181
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: And this is the guy. She says, Yeah, some weird

182
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: she has a dream about R Kelly and she's stuck

183
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: with him an elevator. But the message she sent to

184
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: Diddy after that, I screamed for you and you came

185
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: to rescue me. She sent that to him, and the judge,

186
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: I mean the defense Atarney, excuse me, are asking like,

187
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 1: this is the guy you scared of, This is the

188
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: guy that's your tormentor. Why is it you are going

189
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: and why would you send a message like that? And

190
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: her response again, she said, yes, he was my tormentor

191
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: and he was my protector. He served as both of

192
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: those for her at times. This is fascinating to listen

193
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: to one to someone, if you do take her at

194
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: her word at all of this happened, It's fascinating to

195
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 1: hear where her head is and how she views that relationship.

196
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: And again, she's been in tons of therapy, she says,

197
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: but man, this is some heavy stuff.

198
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 3: And as she referenced therapy, the defense actually asked if

199
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: she would be willing to lift her patient therapist confidentiality

200
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 3: and actually let the defense, or at least let the

201
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 3: court see what her therapist wrote, what the notes were.

202
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: Objection because one of.

203
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 3: The other huge issues that really stood out to both

204
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 3: of us was the fact that she did not tell

205
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: one person. She didn't document, she didn't write down, she

206
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: didn't even tell the investigators and the prosecutors that she

207
00:10:55,080 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 3: was sexually abused or raped by Ditty until June of

208
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, as in a few months ago, exactly

209
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: a year ago.

210
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 2: I guess it would have been a year ago.

211
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: And that was three or four months after Cassiaventoror filed

212
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: her lawsuit. How do you the prosecutors are asking her

213
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: for what was seven months twenty something.

214
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 3: In her twenty eight interviews with investigators prosecutors, and she

215
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: never once mentioned or brought up that she was a

216
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 3: victim of rate.

217
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: How does that say with the jury.

218
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: That's tough.

219
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: I don't that's tough. How that sits? But why and

220
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: that it comes into the money grab situation. Now, okay,

221
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: what was your motivation then if it wasn't before. She

222
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: has a good kind of a good response to that

223
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: in that it's one thing she didn't tell the prosecutors

224
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: about it in the last year. But when she left

225
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: Diddy's company in twenty seventeen, she wanted a severance package,

226
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: and there was attorneys on both sides going back and forth.

227
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: She initially asked for.

228
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: Ten million dollars.

229
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: Why but she asked for that money? But in that

230
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 1: back and forth, wouldn't that have been the proper time

231
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: to say, oh, yeah, by the way, your boss has

232
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: been sexually assaulting me for years, give me my money,

233
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: and I will go quietly yes.

234
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 3: When you're asking for the money, and obviously when most

235
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 3: people leave businesses where you're making I mean, she started

236
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 3: up making fifty thousand dollars a year. What would make

237
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 3: you think you should or could ask for ten million

238
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: dollars unless something happened along the way that you felt

239
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 3: like he might want to pay you hush money for and.

240
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 1: Why not bring it up?

241
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 2: I don't know.

242
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: That's the thing that's the jury is asking that. They

243
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: are asking what we're asking she had two opportunities, long opportunities,

244
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: and one that might have even benefited her at least

245
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: on paper financially, let me say that. And she didn't

246
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: bring it up then, so she asked her the ten million.

247
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: We should say she ended up GETT four hundred hundred thousand,

248
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: but her attorneys took half of that, so she didn't

249
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: get much of anything when she left these company.

250
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: This is a I think this is definitely a difficult

251
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 3: a difficult witness for jurors to get their head around,

252
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 3: because I would just say, just from anyone who's listening

253
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 3: common sense, it's just hard to understand. It's not that

254
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 3: it couldn't be true, and it's not that she's lying necessarily,

255
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 3: but it certainly casts some doubt into her credibility. I

256
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: think the defense did a decent job doing that.

257
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we all keep saying, just need one right,

258
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: just need one juror to hold out this young lady Miya.

259
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: She has said at several points that this is something

260
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: she planned to take to her grave. Now, the matter

261
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: of humiliation, the shame, how she felt through what she described.

262
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: If it's all true, I cannot imagine what that felt like,

263
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: and so when I hear her say I was going

264
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: to take this to my grave, I kind of to

265
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: take her out a word and believe.

266
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that well, that makes sense.

267
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 3: I mean, if that is where she was mentally with

268
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: all of this, then it would make sense why she

269
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 3: never brought it out, why she didn't use it to

270
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 3: get more money, why she didn't say it to prosecutors,

271
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 3: because she just didn't want to have to be that woman,

272
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 3: that girl, that victim. I think you know, you can

273
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 3: say he yelled at me, he threw things at me,

274
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 3: but to acknowledge that you couldn't even say no when

275
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: he was raping you, and that's what she testified to.

276
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: That's a very embarrassing thing to have to admit. It's shameful,

277
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 3: even though it isn't shameful, but I can understand how

278
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 3: a woman would feel that way.

279
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: And you know what, this was pretty interesting because.

280
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 3: When prosecutors asked the judge to stop the cross examination

281
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: because they said the defense attorneys were being humiliating, we're

282
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 3: being harassing. Part of their reasoning was that they said,

283
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 3: the world is watching this trial right now, and this

284
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 3: could deter other crime victims from coming forward in other cases.

285
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: They said, eyes are on this trial.

286
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 3: Victims are watching how these victims are being treated by attorneys,

287
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 3: and if we don't protect these people who are willing

288
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 3: to come forward, it will deter other victims from coming forward,

289
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 3: not just in this case, but in other cases.

290
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: This is one now with me in particular. We have

291
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: to figure out how to do this. Of course, the

292
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: one all eyes were on, and Ember heard, and Johnny Depp,

293
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: everybody was taking sides. But we have to get to

294
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: a point where have we gotten to a point where

295
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: women are believed? But now how do we treat them

296
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: after we even believe them?

297
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 3: Right?

298
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: So, for so long it seemed like nobody's being believed,

299
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 1: and then there was a movement right, and then people

300
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: were being believed, and it turns out, oh yeah, she's

301
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: been saying that for years and it turned out to

302
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: be right, And so believe women when they speak up.

303
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: But now that argument we always make, will they get

304
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: to be anonymous? And then the one who's accused has

305
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: maybe his whole.

306
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 3: Life is so once you're accused of something heinous like that,

307
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 3: your life rarely goes back to the way it was.

308
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: If ever, yes, So now we have to have the

309
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: conversation about what if somebody is innocent, so whose name

310
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: needs to be public? And all this back and forth.

311
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: But let's get away from that conversation. This is not

312
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: that day. I'm saying. We are treating accusers or the

313
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: world is watching accusers get treated pretty shitty. Yeah, on

314
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: the stand, what's your GPA? Right, it just seems like

315
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: not much of a question, But we're trying to embarrass

316
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 1: and humiliate the defense. Attorneys are supposed, say, supposed to

317
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: do this for their client. They're supposed to be fighting

318
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: their butts off to keep his life is on the line.

319
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: But man, we're having public debates and social media debates

320
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: about should she be believed? And she only was going

321
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: for this, and it just it sucks how we're treating.

322
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, courtrooms end up being theater, and it

323
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: really the jury is the audience, and the lawyers are

324
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: trying to make them think one thing or another, and

325
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 3: that's just unfortunately part of what happens. It's tough to watch,

326
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 3: especially when real lives and real pain is on display.

327
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 3: It's not an act, it isn't a script. It's their lives,

328
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 3: and so it's a much there's the stakes or couldn't

329
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 3: be higher.

330
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: So she was able to wrap up yesterday again, defense

331
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: attorneys admitted, and then she did have a redirect by

332
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: the prosecution, and again she just ended up up there

333
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: longer than anticipated. But she did get off the stand yesterday,

334
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: and they were able to squeeze in one more witness,

335
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: this one Robes. They call him a custodian at the

336
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: Beverly Hilton, Beverly Hilton, and this person was up there

337
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: kind of explaining to the jury when they see receipts

338
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:40,239
Speaker 1: hotel receipts for Diddy, what they're kind of looking at.

339
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: And this one it wasn't just about how much you

340
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 1: paid for the room. It was some of the feed

341
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: damages and damages were well, I'm probably to be expected.

342
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 2: Actually I thought this was less.

343
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 3: Than what I was anticipating, if I'm being fully honest here,

344
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 3: I thought it might be more. But just this is

345
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 3: one room, one time, a three hundred dollars charge for

346
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 3: drapes that were soiled beyond what is normal.

347
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 2: That was the annotation.

348
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 3: Another receipt for a five hundred dollars charge for once

349
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 3: again oil damage. There was a fee for going out

350
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 3: to get candles for Ditty Why would they go out

351
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 3: and buy candles when they know in all of the

352
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 3: other messages they talked about excessive candle wax. You know

353
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 3: how hard it is to get candle wax off things.

354
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: Anybody who's had to clean a house with candle wax,

355
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 3: it is very difficult.

356
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of hotels. There are no candles

357
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: in hotels.

358
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 2: They're dangerous to have candles.

359
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 3: You're not supposed to be lighting candles in hotels for

360
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 3: fire concerns.

361
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: That very good reason.

362
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 3: I guess it's ditty, So I guess he gets to

363
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 3: have candles and they get to clean up the wax afterwards.

364
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: Well they talked about is pro they had a profile

365
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: that had it would have the celebrities name and an

366
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: alias next to it, so they knew who it was

367
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: and knew what was happening, knew what to expect anytime

368
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: he was showing up. I did want to mention the

369
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: other thing robe you talked about at the top here

370
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: the disruptions that were in the actual courtroom, but there

371
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: have been disruptions in the overflow room. I don't know

372
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: if we've explained this enough that yes, you have certain

373
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: number of people who are sitting in the courtroom watching.

374
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: But we also have at the courthouse an overflow room

375
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: where reporters and members of the public, many of them

376
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,800
Speaker 1: supporters of Diddy, have been watching on closed circuit television.

377
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: The rule robes is that they're supposed to be just

378
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: as quiet as they are in the actual courtroom that

379
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: we're hearing. That ain't the case.

380
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, apparently it's not the case.

381
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 3: I have been in one overflow room in my time

382
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 3: as a reporter covering a case, and it was also

383
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 3: fairly rowdy, to say the least, because what happens is

384
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 3: you start getting comfortable, you start shouting at the television

385
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 3: like you would watching a reality TV show about what

386
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 3: you think they should say next, or reacting to what

387
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 3: they did or said.

388
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 2: And so that's what's happening.

389
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 3: Apparently, Yes, you're actually having people almost like with popcorn

390
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 3: in their hands, watching and reacting and being loud about it.

391
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: Yes, they referred to it as a watch party. It

392
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: feels like a watch party, like you're watching. It's kind

393
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: of incredible. But no one has stopped them, No one

394
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: has come in and said shush. So that is happening.

395
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: But yes, they say a lot of Diddy supporters have

396
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: been in those rooms and have been very vocal and

397
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: what they want the defense attorneys to ask next in

398
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: the line of questions, Oh.

399
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 3: My goodness, Well I might read that report about what's

400
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 3: going on in the watch party rooms, slash the overflow rooms.

401
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: All right, Well, on the stand today this morning, up first,

402
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: and this guy right is testifying under immunity. I believe

403
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: this is the the was it the bribe for the video?

404
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: The hotel security guy, Eddie Garcia, he's going to be

405
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: up there, but he is testifying under immunity, so he's

406
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: had to be compelled, yes, to testify.

407
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 3: He took he actually took that oath, yes, before the

408
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 3: jurors came in. And yes, he worked security at the

409
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 3: Intercontinental Hotel. That is the hotel where again that video

410
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 3: was taken where we all saw that terrible video of

411
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 3: Ditty kicking and beating eventor a fine right as she

412
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 3: was trying to leave a freak off, is what we've

413
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 3: been told that was happening. So he is on the

414
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 3: stand right now and he is doing he's being directly

415
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 3: questioned by prosecutors and he'll get across examination as well,

416
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 3: and will of course be following all of that and

417
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 3: the rest of the day's events inside that Manhattan courtroom,

418
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 3: but for now, thank you for listening. I'm Amy Robot
