1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: And amandam.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 2: She's from the Daily Os.

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: She is the editor.

4
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 2: She is M Gillespie. Well hello to you today, my friends.

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: Did he's been dropped. He had a big fancy lawyer

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 2: and the lawyer said, no, thank you, I don't want

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: to represent you anymore.

8
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: Did he?

9
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 2: Of course. Sean Combs is his real name, who was

10
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 2: arrested in September and charged with several offenses, including human

11
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 2: trafficking charges, a lot of charges relating to these free

12
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: cough parties where he sexually coerced and abused people, filmed

13
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: them without their consent, A whole raft of allegations that

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: we and the drugs were in the lube. Yep, the

15
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 2: drug that's what we've worked out. There was a lot

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: of baby oil. Anyway, he's in a lot of trouble.

17
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: He's facing life behind bars, and he's got a whole

18
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: team of legal representation. But one of the three main

19
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 2: attorneys representing him has filed a motion to withdraw from

20
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: the case, citing unspecified sufficient reasons that he can no

21
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: longer present the music mogul Anthony Ricco is this guy's name,

22
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 2: He said in emotion, under no circumstances can I continue

23
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: to effectively serve as counsel for short Combs. So again

24
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: no specifics because of attorney client privilege, but he said

25
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 2: without violating any aspect of that privilege or otherwise providing

26
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: any details whatsoever on the ground supporting the application, the

27
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 2: government's been notified of the filing to withdraw The government

28
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: takes no position on the motion seeking withdrawal. So basically

29
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: that means that, you know, a judge has to sign

30
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: off on it, but there's no reason to indicate that

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: they wouldn't sign off on it. So it's you know,

32
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 2: not really clear how long that will take, but they

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: his legal team. He said, it's not expected to impact

34
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 2: the trial, which is due to take place from the

35
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 2: fifth of NY.

36
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: Just from just from what i've I have no insight

37
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: into any of this story, but from what the movies

38
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: and stuff that you watch. As soon as a lawyer

39
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: has a whiff that you're guilty, yeah, they can't defend

40
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: you any well.

41
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: It's certainly a bad look. And I think ironically this

42
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: attorney client privileged thing, which is the reason that we're

43
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: not going to get more detail, might actually be more

44
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: harmful than it might.

45
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: Because all of us imagine a speculating exactly as I

46
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: just did.

47
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: Well exactly. And if a criminal defense lawyer who agrees

48
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: to represent, did he knowing all he knows in terms

49
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: of the allegations and the charges he's signed on, thinking

50
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 2: you know, this is something he can defend. I don't

51
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: want to make any jokes about lawyers, but it seems

52
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 2: pretty bad to walk away, right of course, if you

53
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: can't be on board for that believe that your client

54
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: is innocent.

55
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: You don't have to believe they're innocent.

56
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 2: You have to believe you can win.

57
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: You have to believe you can win. But I think

58
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: if you know they're not innocent, I don't think you

59
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: can the evidence.

60
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 2: And that's what I said before about the footage that

61
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: one of him padding down justin Bieber to see if

62
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,839
Speaker 2: he's wearing a wire. Have you seen that? Yeah, that's

63
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: a really weird video, weird long time ago, and it's

64
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: he's sort of paranoid that the people that he's hanging

65
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: out with he is checking them to see if they're

66
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: wearing a wire, to make sure he's not being listened into.

67
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: But I mean, it has to be said, the lawyers

68
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: for this guy working over time, there is so much

69
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 2: going on. There is this criminal charge. There's also dozens

70
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: and dozens of civil suits that victims or alleged victims

71
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 2: have brought claiming, you know, suing him for assault and

72
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: abuse and the rest. The lawyers, though, asked a judge

73
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: last week to dismiss one of the charges that's been

74
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: brought against Diddy. It's one of the human trafficking charges.

75
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: It's about transportation to engage in prostitution. And they've claimed

76
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 2: that no white person has ever been argued that they

77
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: have sort of breached this kind of a charge in

78
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: this way. No one of this kind of fame or

79
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: high profile in any other high profile sexual abuse charge

80
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 2: sexual abuse cases, has faced his kind of charge. They've

81
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: said that Combs has been singled out because he's a

82
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: powerful black man and he's being prosecuted for conduct that

83
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: regularly goes unpunished in other similar cases. So they're trying

84
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: to obviously reduce the charges that he's facing. But like

85
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: I said, he is facing life behind.

86
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: Bars about Beyonce's husband. Yes, so jay Z did something

87
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: to get dropped burn.

88
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, So there was this lawsuit accusing jay Z and

89
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 2: Diddy of the assault of a thirteen year old in

90
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: the year two thousand. That was a civil suit, so

91
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: again not criminal charges, but a lawsuit seeking damages that

92
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 2: has been dropped. So that was huge when that one

93
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: broke because everyone had been speculating. As they continue to speculate,

94
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: you know who were the other celebrities that were involved.

95
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: All these parties were well attended by the industry heavyweights

96
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: like jay Z and people have been waiting for more

97
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 2: and more names, so you know, he's been cleared technically.

98
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: There there's also a one hundred million dollar defamation lawsuit

99
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: that Diddy has launched. He's clapping back. Do you remember

100
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 2: that documentary It came out at the start of this year.

101
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 2: It's called Diddy The Making of a Bad Boy. Anyway,

102
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: NBC was part of it. A lot of the allegations

103
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: first came to light from that documentary being produced, and

104
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: he's seeking it a really big defamation settlement which might

105
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: cover one percent of his legal bills. There's some good news.

106
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: This is down one lawyer now.

107
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, and he was rushed to hospital with a

108
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: sore knee, but he's all good. He went back to

109
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: jail a few hours later. He's got plenty of linen

110
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 2: at home.

111
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: Hasn't he a DPTE.

112
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: Rub some baby oil into a Sean thank you em,

113
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 2: thank you
