Cassie & Diddy had a “modern day love” story? His legal team says … · The Breakfast Club

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and everybody.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: You don't know if you don't lie about that, right, Lauren
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: can't even Hey, y'all, what's up.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: It's Laura l Rosa and this is the latest with
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Lauren lo Rosa. Now this is an audio exclusive because
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: y'all know over here on the audio side, I want
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: to make sure that y'all get all the things, all
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the latest a little bit differently than the people who
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: actually won't watch the video do. But yes, this is
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: your daily dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and all of the exclusives and the conversations that break
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the room.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Baby.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Now, we've been talking a bit about Diddy because his
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: attorneys have been on almost like a press roll out
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: of late. They've been doing interviews with several different outlets,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: and more recently, Nicole Westmoreland, one of his attorneys, did
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: an interview where she talked about there being a pardon
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: conversation between people in Diddy's camp, people in Diddy's world.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: She actually said we in the interview, so people say, Hey,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Diddy's offense attorneys are having conversations officially with Donald Trump
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: about the party. But then Mark Agnifilio, another one of
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Diddy's attorneys, went on CBS Mornings. He sat down with
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: one of my homegirls. Her name is Jerika Duncan. She
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: works for CBS Mornings, did the interview, and the interview
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: was pretty interesting. They talk about a couple of different things,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: but they did address the part in head on, or
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: so it seemed. And this is what Mark Agnifilio had
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to say.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: You mean to tell me that you really have nothing
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: to do with a possible pardon right now?
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Nothing, I have nothing to do with a possible pardon.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: What is Sean Combe saying about the possibility of the party?
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: I think he knows I'm not political. We've never discussed
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: it other than I tell him what's in the news
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: about it. But you know, what's his reaction.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Does he laugh? Does he say let's let's look into it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: What does he tell him that I need a partner? Go?
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Tell him I deserve a part And that's what he said.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Now I'm confused about this, as you guys probably are,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: because again, another one of Diddy's attorneys, who work very
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: closely with Mark Agnfilio, came out and said that they
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: had been having conversations. So this does seem like a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: cleanup job. I mean, I reached out earlier this week,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: and I've been told that if we were to say
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: that Diddy's defense team themselves had reached out to Trump
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and had been a conversation with Trump, that would not
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: be accurate.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: That it was people in Diddy's world, in his orbit.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: So I'm still trying to narrow down exactly who it
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: was and exactly what conversations are. But this seems, you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: it seems like, you know, maybe Nicole Westmoreland spoke before
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: she was supposed to, or I'm just really not sure.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Maybe the response to the pardon wasn't what they wanted.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Because at the same time, Mark Agnfilio says, did he's down,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: He's like, y'all give me that party, let me know
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: what's up now. One of the things that Mark Agnfilio
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: said in his interview was that Diddy is looking to
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: return back to his family and all the things, but
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: return back to music.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Let's listen.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Does he want to get back into music, Does he
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: want to get back in the business. I think he's
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: someone who is always going to strive to do something,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: you know, exceptional and probably demanding and challenging. But I
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: think the most demanding and challenging thing in front of
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: him right now is to get back with his kids
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: and get back with his mother and the people who
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: love him and miss him.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: So he's talked to you about getting back into music.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: If he's not at least no, no, honestly, he has
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: not one thing. He said. He said, he said when
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: he's giving me back in Madison Square Garden, he said
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: that he did. He said to me, he's back in
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Madison Square Garden doing what I guess, being on stage.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: You know, I mean then I said, I'll be there now.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Let me tell y'all something here. Shout out to my
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: home girl, jo Rika Duncan. And when I say my
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: home girls said very loosely, I you, guys know. I
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: had covered the Sean Ditecombs case in court for eight weeks,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of US media outlets there. It was almost
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: like being in college again. You met new resources, you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: met new people. You guys were in this world every
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: day for hours at a time that no one else
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: could understand unless you were there at the same time.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Jureka was one of the people who was there for
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: CBS doing her content and coverage and all the things
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: maryor her while she was there. She's amazing and phenomenal
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: at what she does. I always give it up to
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the journalists, but especially women journalis, especially black women journalists,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: because of things like what we just listened to.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Let's take a listen to her response some more time.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: He said that he did. He said to me, he's
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: be back in Madison Square.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Guard doing what I love the way black women can
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: just do exactly what they need to do without saying
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: a dang thing, okay, because it gave everything it needed
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: to give.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: And that was the first clip that they released.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Now, in this newer clip, which we did not talk
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: about on the Breakfast Club, Jureka went back in and,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you know, had some conversations about what are you guys
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: going to do moving forward because the way that things
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: were presented versus where things are right now, or be
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: worried for y'all and worried for how this man play
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: out for you guys. So they had a conversation about
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: sentencing and how Diddy's defense team has been preparing him
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: for the sentencing that will go down on October third.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Let's take a listen to that.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: How are you preparing him?
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: So, I mean, I tell him what the guidelines are,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: you know, and the guidelines are about two or three years,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: And I tell him, you know, the judge could could
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: go above the guidelines.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Not gonna lie to y'all.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I would be surprised, but it wouldn't wow me if
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Diddy was to get anything less than three years. I
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: do think that this based on how this Bell situation
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: is going, it feels as if, and this is just
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: a feeling, this is just a guess an opinion. The
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: judge feels like Diddy needs to learn a lesson of
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: sorts or face consequence of sorts because that has never happened.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: And with that being said, and both charges, the two
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Man Act charges, the two prosecution charges that Diddy has
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: been convicted of, with them holding ten years apiece up
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to twenty years combined, it's a little bit nerve racking of.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Where this is going to land.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be because in the beginning I was saying, Okay,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised. When I was looking at everything
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: like the rico, sex trafficking, all the things, I was like,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Diddy, you know, with sittings
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: with ten years and time served, so you're looking at
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: a good like six to seven. And then I backed
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: away from that because he wasn't convicted of that rico.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: He wasn't convicted of the sex traffick in which were
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the heavier charges. But now I'm looking at just how
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: the judge is responding to Diddy in this situation as
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: being a convicted person who, according to the court, participated
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: in the Demand Act allegations. And I wouldn't be surprised
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: if it could give a little bit more maybe four
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to six, four to seven based off of these charges
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: and hopefully time served. But what I think is the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: big issue here is it's always been about this sort
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of like celebrity and power. We talked about this, We
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: talked about this on a previous episode. Make sure you
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: guys go and listen where I said, did he needs
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: to humble himself a bit? I understand I would celebrate
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: too if I wasn't found guilty on something that can
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: convict me for the rest of my life. But at
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: the same time, you were still at the mercy of
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the court. And that is what I don't understand why,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Like if I were Diddy's attorneys. I would not be
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: doing interviews right now. Everything will wait until sentencing. And
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I definitely want to talk about him returning in the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Madison Square Garden as if he's just gonna pick back
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: up life and move forward. I mean, he does have
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to pick back up his life and move forward. Don't
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: get me wrong, but it's like, once you want you
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: do the crime, you do the time, Once you do
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the time, once you have rehabilitated in a real way.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: And that's what I think is missing here.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: There's a sort of like empathy or humility or like
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: a I need to change that. It seems like it's missing.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: And that's a scary thing to even like.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: And I don't know if that's true.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I haven't spoken to Diddy myself, but that's what is
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: implied by a lot of the actions, right the conversation about, oh,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: he wants to return to MSG, be with his family,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: return to MSG. And you know, of course you want
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: to judge, you know he's a changed person, but yeah,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: he try to sell out metter Sin Square Guard. It's
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: just it's never going to sit well, nor does it
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: ever put a good taste in a court's mouth when
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: you have a person like Sean Diddy Coombs super powerful,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: super rich, and I'm not saying that because he is
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: super powerful or super rich, he should kiss the court's ask.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: At the same time, you know, there's a conversation about overreach,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and me sitting in court myself, I will say there
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: were certain things that I didn't understand why the prosecution.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Leaned in on so much.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: But when you are a person who there were allegations
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: of him reaching out to witnesses, there were text messages
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: and conversations shown in court where he's like, I know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to be on these phones talking about this.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: They showed his hotel room in court, the hotel room
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: he was waiting in to be arrested on the indictment,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: and there was all the supplies.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: And reminiscens of a freak off.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Right, you gotta show the court that, like, man, I
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: don't know who I thought I was.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Y'all right, y'all got me.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I am no bigger. I am not bigger than the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: law whatsoever. And I just don't think that they're doing that.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: And here's an example of the way that people are
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: taking or reacting to a lot of the things that
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: were said in court number one, but also things that
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: have happened since the vertica's drop. Let's take a listen
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to Mark Agnefilio talked to Jaika Duncan from CBS just
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: about the way did they try this case?
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Do you have any regrets and how you tried this case.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: It's a good question, not really, not really.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: You called the relationship between Combes and Ventora a great
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: modern love story. Ventora says she was raped, physically abused,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: and became addicted to drugs because of Combs.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: I think that's what makes it the rape we vehemently deny,
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: and I respect that she said that. I don't think
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: the jury concluded that that happened in terms of the
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: you know, the drugs and the other stuff. I think
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: that's what makes it a modern love story. I think
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: she very much loved him, and I know he very
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: much loved her.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Now, listen to Mark Agnefilio's point, Diddy was not convicted
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: of rape. He wasn't, and there's nothing wrong with clearing
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: that up any and every time someone brings that up
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: on this criminal side, because we saw what he was
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: convicted of. Legally you can do that, but I do
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: think again she's leaning into a bit of the humility
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: of this because at the same time, I told you
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: guys in that last episode, make sure you go, you know,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: check that out the Ladies with law La Rosa, where
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: we talked about Diddy's humility that I believe he should take.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: We spent weeks looking at abuse. I mean, not just
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to see an in video photos of bruises, Cassie's mother
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: getting on the stand talking about what they were put through.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I just don't see sentencing going in Ditty's favor if
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: they don't back down, quiet down and turn off the
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: take that take that, turn off the bad boy baby,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: turn off the lights and the glitz and a glam,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: take the sun glasses off.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Fuff daddy.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Let's be Sean Colmes right now, a man who had
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: his family in the court, who had to turn around
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to his babies and say, Daddy is coming home because
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: you were just granted the opportunity to not spend the
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: rest of your life, you know, behind bars. And let's
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: stay in that feeling, stay in that look Diddy's big,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Stay in that vibration, stay in that energy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Love love love, stay there at least until you get
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: through this. It's all that I'm saying.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: And then when you get through this, you can still
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: go back to being look you were, whatever you have
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: left after this because Diddy does so I have to
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: fight things on the civil side.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: You worked for that, and you know what I mean,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: it's yours. No one can take that from you.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: But as a person, there's a lot of things that
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: you need to work on and change and get rid
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: of for yourself to make sure you don't end back
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: up in the situation chairing right now. But also all
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: them babies. You turned around and looked at us Saidaddy's
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: coming home too for them Now. I tell you, guys,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: every episode there's a lot to talk about. You guys
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: could be anywhere with anybody talking about it because at
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, things is always gone down.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: But my Lowriders, I appreciate you guys for being right
