- 0:12Speaker 2: launches an other woman defense and we learn that Louis

- 0:22Speaker 2: be birth control was also stuffed full of viagra for Ditty.
- 0:29Speaker 2: Plus Cassie Ventura's mom turns states witness.
- 0:34Speaker 1: I'm Nancy Grace, this is Crime Stories. Thank you for
- 0:37Speaker 1: being with us. Straight out to the courthouse.
- 0:39Speaker 2: Standing by Lauren Conlin, who has been in the courtroom
- 0:43Speaker 2: throughout the day. Lauren Colin, investigative reporter and star of
- 0:48Speaker 2: Pop Crime TV.
- 0:49Speaker 1: Lauren, thank you for being with us. What happened in
- 0:51Speaker 1: court today?
- 0:52Speaker 3: It's been an eventful day so far.
- 0:54Speaker 4: We finished up the direct examination of Ditty's former assistant
- 1:00Speaker 4: James and the Cross and we learned a lot about Ditty,
- 1:04Speaker 4: a lot about what he had his assistance do. Something
- 1:07Speaker 4: that David James spoke about was advancing room locations and
- 1:12Speaker 4: this includes anything from a green room at the Ellen
- 1:15Speaker 4: Show to a hotel room. Now, what was interesting about
- 1:19Speaker 4: this hotel room advancing is you know, he said he
- 1:22Speaker 4: got snacks for Ditty and by the way, Nancy. He
- 1:25Speaker 4: testified that Ditty would request jello and apple sauce. Apparently
- 1:29Speaker 4: he put apple sauce on his cheeseburgers. But he would
- 1:33Speaker 4: also get things like baby oil, astroblide, and condoms. And
- 1:37Speaker 4: when he would pick up things like these, he would
- 1:40Speaker 4: not expense them through Bad Boy.
- 1:42Speaker 3: He would get cash as reimbursement.
- 1:44Speaker 4: And he also said that he would set out all
- 1:46Speaker 4: Ditty's toiletries, which as you mentioned, included sometimes.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Viagra or just for men. We also heard that something
- 1:55Speaker 3: that I found was very shocking.
- 1:57Speaker 4: David James was forced to take two you lie detector
- 2:01Speaker 4: tests when things went missing jewelry at one point, a
- 2:06Speaker 4: bracelet of cassis, and then we heard we actually saw
- 2:10Speaker 4: Diddy smile. At one point, David James described being at
- 2:15Speaker 4: a Diddy party and doing something called diddy bopping.
- 2:18Speaker 3: I don't really know what that was, but it made
- 2:20Speaker 3: Diddy laugh.
- 2:21Speaker 4: And at this party, David James described that he was off,
- 2:25Speaker 4: so he attended a New Year's Eve party. He stole
- 2:27Speaker 4: an ecstasy pill from Diddy. He was having fun. The
- 2:30Speaker 4: next day did he called him into his office because
- 2:33Speaker 4: apparently he took video of all his party. He saw
- 2:37Speaker 4: David James and said, hey, were you on drugs or
- 2:39Speaker 4: were you on ecstasy? And David James says, yes, I was,
- 2:43Speaker 4: and apparently did he said to him, well, I'm going
- 2:46Speaker 4: to keep this or I'm going to hold this just in.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Case I need to.
- 2:50Speaker 4: We also heard David James testify about an incident that he.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Had with the chef.
- 2:58Speaker 4: Chef that we're supposed to hear from, but David James
- 3:01Speaker 4: said that did he, you know, reprimanded him because David
- 3:05Speaker 4: James had an altercation with the chef and did he
- 3:08Speaker 4: said something to him like listen, if you touch a
- 3:10Speaker 4: woman again, you're getting fired.
- 3:13Speaker 2: But wait a minute, I've got another question about David James.
- 3:16Speaker 2: David James, the assistant described a horrible, horrible toxic workplace.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Explain.
- 3:25Speaker 4: Yeah, so the way that David James describes leaving a
- 3:30Speaker 4: bad boy or being Ditty's personal assistant was after the
- 3:33Speaker 4: Shug Night Mel Diner incident, which I did not realize
- 3:37Speaker 4: that he was there for this.
- 3:38Speaker 3: He testified that he and a bodyguard, d Rock, they were.
- 3:41Speaker 4: Instructed to go pick up cheeseburgers and they go pick
- 3:45Speaker 4: him up at Melt Diner. D Rock has an exchange
- 3:48Speaker 4: with Shug. He sees Shug and then d Rock sees
- 3:51Speaker 4: Shug pull out a gun and hand it to someone
- 3:53Speaker 4: else and they go back to Ditty's house. Did he
- 3:56Speaker 4: instructs David James to get in the car.
- 3:59Speaker 3: He says that did.
- 4:00Speaker 4: He had three guns across his lap and there's three
- 4:03Speaker 4: people in the car.
- 4:04Speaker 3: So he's putting things together in his head.
- 4:06Speaker 4: And essentially Shoog had already left the premises, so nothing happened.
- 4:11Speaker 4: But David James said after that he was done. He
- 4:14Speaker 4: said he went to HR he put in his notice
- 4:18Speaker 4: and they actually offered him another position at Sean John
- 4:21Speaker 4: or one of other Didy's other companies, and he said, no, thanks,
- 4:25Speaker 4: I'm done.
- 4:26Speaker 3: And you know, he went into a lot of this.
- 4:28Speaker 4: About how he was forced to work twenty four hours
- 4:31Speaker 4: at a time.
- 4:32Speaker 3: He even described one assistant having to go.
- 4:34Speaker 4: To the hospital after being overworked because she was so dehydrated.
- 4:38Speaker 3: So there is a lot of talk about this.
- 4:40Speaker 4: But I have to also note that he did acknowledge
- 4:43Speaker 4: that Diddy was a successful businessman, and when he was
- 4:46Speaker 4: leaving the courtroom he kind of gave him a head nod.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Wow, so you're telling me Davy James acknowledge Combs or
- 4:57Speaker 2: Combs nodded to James or both know.
- 5:01Speaker 3: James nodded to him.
- 5:02Speaker 4: I mean, did he like I said when he was
- 5:04Speaker 4: talking about diddy bopping? And there was another incident where
- 5:08Speaker 4: he brought up, did he wanting time's ketchup when they
- 5:11Speaker 4: went to London because the ketchup is different in London?
- 5:13Speaker 4: And did he got a kick out of that? They
- 5:16Speaker 4: really seemed to share these moments. There was another point
- 5:18Speaker 4: when David James kind of made a comment or Mark
- 5:21Speaker 4: Agnifolo said, Oh, part of your job was to get
- 5:23Speaker 4: Ditty to his appointments on time and have him be
- 5:26Speaker 4: you know, arriving in a timely fashion, and David James
- 5:29Speaker 4: said something like he wasn't always timely and did he
- 5:32Speaker 4: just laughed it up at a grand ole time over there?
- 5:35Speaker 2: Wait, are you telling me that Seawn Holmes was in
- 5:38Speaker 2: London and through a fit because he didn't have the
- 5:41Speaker 2: right kind of ketchup?
- 5:43Speaker 1: The ketchup in London wasn't right?
- 5:47Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean essentially part of his job advancing
- 5:50Speaker 4: these locations included making Ditty as comfortable as possible, which
- 5:55Speaker 4: was getting him the ketchup he.
- 5:56Speaker 2: Wanted, okay, moving on from a Davy James and I'll
- 6:01Speaker 2: revisit him in a moment.
- 6:03Speaker 1: What else happened on the stand? Who else did we say? Today?
- 6:06Speaker 4: So we saw Cassie's mom, Regina Ventora, and it was
- 6:09Speaker 4: very brief Nancy.
- 6:11Speaker 3: Regina described.
- 6:13Speaker 4: The incident where Cassie sent her an email and she
- 6:17Speaker 4: cesed Capricorn Clark, which was one of Ditty's previous assistants,
- 6:21Speaker 4: and this email described threats that Cassie was getting from
- 6:27Speaker 4: Seawan Colmes and how Sean Polms was going to release
- 6:29Speaker 4: these sex tapes of her and how he was going
- 6:32Speaker 4: to hurt she and Kid Cutty. And Regina described that
- 6:36Speaker 4: she was terrified and she had no idea about these
- 6:40Speaker 4: sex tapes and she was like just very shocked, very terrified.
- 6:43Speaker 4: And then apparently bad Boy or Sean Plmes made this
- 6:47Speaker 4: demand of twenty thousand dollars to the Venturas, who you know,
- 6:52Speaker 4: she kind of made it clear we didn't have that
- 6:54Speaker 4: kind of money. She said they had to re mortgage
- 6:55Speaker 4: their house or something along those lines to get them
- 6:59Speaker 4: this money, and she went to the links to wire
- 7:02Speaker 4: it to bad Boy records. They sent her an email
- 7:04Speaker 4: with the wire instructions and then about thirty to forty
- 7:07Speaker 4: five days later it was returned to her. And we
- 7:11Speaker 4: also saw her confirm the pictures that she took of
- 7:14Speaker 4: Cassie that had been actually circulating because now they've been
- 7:17Speaker 4: released to the public. She confirmed she took those pictures
- 7:19Speaker 4: on a polaroid to document Cassie's breathing and it was
- 7:23Speaker 4: twenty eleven that she documented this, and she said that
- 7:27Speaker 4: was the first that she heard of this abuse. And
- 7:31Speaker 4: she also described an incident in twenty sixteen in la
- 7:35Speaker 4: when Sean Colmes stole Cassie's phone and she called the
- 7:39Speaker 4: police over this. This happened on around Cassie's thirtieth birthday,
- 7:43Speaker 4: and she actually described having an altercation with Holmes or
- 7:47Speaker 4: Diddy in front of Cassie's building, and she said she
- 7:51Speaker 4: lunged at him and she tried to hit him to
- 7:53Speaker 4: get the phone back. He eventually gave the phone back,
- 7:55Speaker 4: but said that he then took off in Cassie's Jaguar.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Okay, I'm sorry, something got law to the sauce who
- 8:01Speaker 2: made the Laune at who.
- 8:03Speaker 4: Cassie's mom said that she lunged at Colmes trying to
- 8:06Speaker 4: get this phone trying to hit him.
- 8:08Speaker 3: I mean, she was very upset the way she describes.
- 8:10Speaker 4: And Cassie, by the way, was not present for this,
- 8:13Speaker 4: She was upstairs in her apartment.
- 8:14Speaker 2: So how originally, Lauren Colin, how did Cassie Venture's mother
- 8:19Speaker 2: discover that there was a sex video of her daughter?
- 8:23Speaker 4: Well, it was Cassie's email on the BlackBerry where she said,
- 8:26Speaker 4: you know, he's threatening to release these sex tapes, and
- 8:29Speaker 4: her mom said she was very confused by this, but
- 8:31Speaker 4: she was also very worried for her daughter as well
- 8:33Speaker 4: as the physical threats as well.
- 8:35Speaker 3: So you know, she kind of said, we had no choice.
- 8:38Speaker 4: We wanted to protect our daughters, so we sent this
- 8:40Speaker 4: money that we didn't really have.
- 8:41Speaker 3: And those are my words paraphrasing.
- 8:43Speaker 2: But yeah, Well, isn't it true, Lauren Collin, that Cassie's
- 8:47Speaker 2: mom had to mortgage their home to come up with
- 8:51Speaker 2: twenty thousand dollars.
- 8:52Speaker 1: To keep the sex tape from going online.
- 8:56Speaker 4: Yes, And there is a big discussion this morning before
- 8:59Speaker 4: the jury came in about whether or not this was relevant,
- 9:03Speaker 4: and clearly it was.
- 9:04Speaker 2: Okay, Lauren Colin, I'm trying to get my head wrapped
- 9:07Speaker 2: around this, So Seawn Combs is going to extort twenty
- 9:15Speaker 2: thousand dollars from Cassie Ventura, his girlfriend's.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Mother, to keep Cassie's sex.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Tape from going viral, just out of saying it really
- 9:26Speaker 2: slowly to make sure I understand what you're saying.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Is that right?
- 9:31Speaker 3: That's what it sounded like to all of us sitting there.
- 9:34Speaker 3: I mean, that's what it came across. Asin.
- 9:37Speaker 2: Let me throw something at you really quickly. The other
- 9:40Speaker 2: day you stated, and a lot of people agreed with you,
- 9:44Speaker 2: that we're hearing a lot of bad stuff about Shawn Combs.
- 9:47Speaker 2: He's a vile person, blah blah blah.
- 9:49Speaker 1: But has the Kate say proven its case? Well, doesn't
- 9:53Speaker 1: this sound like extortion to you?
- 9:55Speaker 3: It does?
- 9:56Speaker 4: And little by little, Nancy, I do feel like we
- 9:58Speaker 4: are seeing more evidence tying some of the indictment charges
- 10:03Speaker 4: to what we're hearing.
- 10:06Speaker 3: So, yeah, you're absolutely right, Lauren.
- 10:08Speaker 2: What was the reaction the vibe between Cassie's mother and
- 10:14Speaker 2: Sean Combs? Did she just look daggers at him when
- 10:18Speaker 2: she walked in that courtroom?
- 10:21Speaker 3: She looked straight ahead.
- 10:22Speaker 4: I mean, I was right on the end, and yeah,
- 10:25Speaker 4: she just walked straight into her seat. You know she
- 10:27Speaker 4: sat there and before you know, I mentioned that, did
- 10:31Speaker 4: he seem to be very relaxed with David James kind
- 10:33Speaker 4: of laughing. He was just sitting right in his chair.
- 10:36Speaker 4: I didn't really see him move at all. Very stoic
- 10:39Speaker 4: and like I said, she Regina was Ventura was very
- 10:43Speaker 4: brief and no cross examination by Mark Agnifola, which I
- 10:48Speaker 4: thought was a good strategy.
- 10:51Speaker 2: Well, he probably didn't want to ask a question and
- 10:54Speaker 2: then get a bombshell answer from the victims.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Mother. Are you kidding me?
- 11:01Speaker 2: I'm surprised you didn't reach straight off that witness stand
- 11:04Speaker 2: and strangle Sean Combs right there in front of the jury.
- 11:08Speaker 1: Lauren Collin joining us from the courthouse, I can circle
- 11:11Speaker 1: back to her just for a moment.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Let's bring in the panel joining us, an all star
- 11:15Speaker 2: panel to make sense of what we know right now.
- 11:17Speaker 2: So much evidence pouring from the witness stand throughout the
- 11:21Speaker 2: day in the Manhattan courtroom, straight out to city Sumner.
- 11:25Speaker 1: But first, speaking of the assistant.
- 11:27Speaker 5: Listen to this, The government calls David James, Combs's former
- 11:31Speaker 5: personal assistant, to the stand. James says he started working
- 11:34Speaker 5: for Combs in the hopes of breaking into the fashion industry.
- 11:37Speaker 5: James ree calls an interviewer in HR, telling him this
- 11:40Speaker 5: is mister Combs's kingdom and we're all here to serve
- 11:43Speaker 5: in it. James mentions that Combs had a highly unusual
- 11:47Speaker 5: rider for green rooms, music venues, and hotel rooms, and
- 11:51Speaker 5: that staff constantly reminded him to stay in his lane
- 11:54Speaker 5: if he asked too many questions.
- 11:56Speaker 2: I wonder if that includes the not that Seawan Colmes
- 12:01Speaker 2: was checked into that Intercontinental hotel and the Cassie Ventura
- 12:05Speaker 2: beat down video occurred. Sidney Summer joining me Crime Stories
- 12:09Speaker 2: investigative reporter Sydney following up on what Lauren Conlin is reporting.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Tell me about David James's statement, who basically worked in
- 12:18Speaker 2: Fear just a godly hours, starting at four in the
- 12:23Speaker 2: morning and going till eleven o'clock at night.
- 12:26Speaker 1: Where did this statement come from?
- 12:28Speaker 2: This is mister Combs's kingdom and we're all here to
- 12:32Speaker 2: serve in it.
- 12:34Speaker 6: What So, David James testified that that was actually in
- 12:38Speaker 6: his interview. So he had a meeting with someone from
- 12:41Speaker 6: HR a bad boy, and she turned around, pointed to
- 12:45Speaker 6: a photo of Seawn Holmes and said, this is Diddy's
- 12:49Speaker 6: kingdom and we are here to serve him, to serve
- 12:52Speaker 6: this kingdom. And yeah, you're completely right. He worked crazy hours.
- 12:58Speaker 6: He testified that he worked from eighty a m. Till
- 13:00Speaker 6: four a m. And then had to turn around and
- 13:04Speaker 6: put out a call sheet for the rest of Comb's
- 13:06Speaker 6: staff for the next day. So these were insane hours.
- 13:10Speaker 6: He talks about another assistant actually being put in the
- 13:13Speaker 6: hospital for dehydration. And Comb's just had ridiculous requests. I mean,
- 13:20Speaker 6: in that writer that David James mentioned he needed things
- 13:24Speaker 6: like apple sauce and ketch up jello Fiji water, but
- 13:28Speaker 6: he also wanted an arsenal of skincare products always available
- 13:33Speaker 6: to him, forty less skincare products. And that's not even
- 13:37Speaker 6: considering the Louis Vauton bag, his medicine bag that had
- 13:42Speaker 6: up to thirty different prescriptions in it, and that apparently
- 13:46Speaker 6: included things like normal things advil, tylanol all the way
- 13:50Speaker 6: up to percocet, ecstasy, viagra, weight loss pills, sperm count pills.
- 13:57Speaker 6: It was just I mean, he carried a pharmacy with him.
- 14:00Speaker 1: Did you just say sperm count pills?
- 14:04Speaker 6: I did, Nancy, And I don't really know exactly what
- 14:08Speaker 6: that means or how it affects a man, but apparently
- 14:11Speaker 6: they were in there.
- 14:13Speaker 2: In addition to Sidney Summer joining US investigative reporter Crime Stories,
- 14:17Speaker 2: the former PR guru for Sean Combs, Rob Shooter, is
- 14:23Speaker 2: with US, star of Naughty but Nice podcast.
- 14:26Speaker 1: And author of a book, The Four Word Answers.
- 14:29Speaker 2: So, Rob Shooter, was that part of your duties too
- 14:33Speaker 2: to stuff Daddy's Louis Vuitton with Viagra, forty different skincare.
- 14:40Speaker 1: Products and sperm count PILs.
- 14:45Speaker 7: It's shocking. When I worked with Diddy, he had a writer,
- 14:48Speaker 7: like my most celebrities, with things that he wanted, everything
- 14:52Speaker 7: from vitamin water to orange juice to apples. This is
- 14:55Speaker 7: what's so interesting about this to me. The NASI is
- 14:58Speaker 7: that most celebrities, when they visit a talk show, aig
- 15:03Speaker 7: a big appearance, you send the rider to their producers.
- 15:07Speaker 7: So I would send did his rider out all the time. However,
- 15:11Speaker 7: what did he had was a separate rider that he
- 15:14Speaker 7: gave to his personal assistance so that the people at
- 15:18Speaker 7: the show wouldn't know all these extra things that he demanded.
- 15:23Speaker 7: So I'm shocked to know here that his personal assistant
- 15:26Speaker 7: got a separate rider now that we know what's in
- 15:28Speaker 7: that rider, it makes total sense. But I've never heard
- 15:32Speaker 7: of another celebrity having two two writers.
- 15:36Speaker 2: So one writer goes to the host, so Jimmy Fallons,
- 15:40Speaker 2: let's pretend staff, and then the other writer is a
- 15:45Speaker 2: secret rider.
- 15:47Speaker 7: Yeah. Absolutely, that's what I found out today. I had
- 15:50Speaker 7: no idea there was a second rider. I would send
- 15:53Speaker 7: out Puffy's rider all the time to Ellen, to Jimmy
- 15:56Speaker 7: Fallon to all the shows that he would.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Appear right me on there like that shooter.
- 16:02Speaker 7: Yeah, the kind of normal things that they want in
- 16:03Speaker 7: the dressing room. So they want to know what sort
- 16:05Speaker 7: of water you want, you want coffee, do you want tea?
- 16:07Speaker 7: Do you want orange juice. It's just really kind of
- 16:09Speaker 7: simple things to make the experience a little bit nicer.
- 16:12Speaker 7: And they asked for this for every single celebrity, not
- 16:15Speaker 7: just big stars, but people on TV shows, comedians. So
- 16:19Speaker 7: they send in their rider. Pretty normal. The dressing rooms lovely.
- 16:22Speaker 7: You walk in, there's a coffee table, there's a couch,
- 16:26Speaker 7: and there's a little bar full of coffee and tea
- 16:28Speaker 7: or maybe if you want something stronger, that's there. Pretty normal.
- 16:32Speaker 7: What's different with Dido? We found out today. There was
- 16:35Speaker 7: a second ride that only his assistant had, and we
- 16:39Speaker 7: now know why because what was in that rider is
- 16:41Speaker 7: something Puffy would not want television show hosts or staff
- 16:45Speaker 7: or producer to know about.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Okay, hold on, so you Rob Shooter never had two
- 16:50Speaker 2: stuff Diddy's leave Aton bag with sperm count peels and Viagra,
- 16:55Speaker 2: Fiji water and forty different skin care potions, didn't.
- 17:00Speaker 7: I worked with Diddy and there were certainly odd requests.
- 17:03Speaker 7: There were stuff that he wanted, iron.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Like, what what odd request?
- 17:08Speaker 7: It was particular about the temperature of the room, and
- 17:12Speaker 7: I think this is a power play. But he would
- 17:14Speaker 7: often travel with a thermometer where he would take the temperature.
- 17:18Speaker 2: So I've got Sean Combs whining that the catch up
- 17:23Speaker 2: in London.
- 17:23Speaker 1: It's different, it's different.
- 17:25Speaker 2: And now you're telling me that he travels with a thermometer.
- 17:30Speaker 7: You heard me right, Lindsay, you heard me right. Very odd,
- 17:35Speaker 7: very strange. But it wasn't a sinister as some of
- 17:38Speaker 7: the things that will now find out he had on
- 17:41Speaker 7: this private rider. The only only He's inner Cirtle sore.
- 17:45Speaker 7: Only his assistant.
- 17:47Speaker 1: Back to Sydney Son rejoining us.
- 17:48Speaker 2: In addition to Rob Sheeter, Sidney, I just want to
- 17:51Speaker 2: make sure I understand this.
- 17:52Speaker 1: Now, you've got.
- 17:53Speaker 2: Cassie Ventura's mother on the stand under oath and fear
- 17:59Speaker 2: of perjury, which is a felony state that Sean Comes
- 18:05Speaker 2: demanded twenty thousand dollars from her in exchange to not
- 18:09Speaker 2: releasing her beloved daughter Cassie's sex.
- 18:14Speaker 1: Tape online for it to go viral, and the mom
- 18:19Speaker 1: and dad have to go take out a home equity love.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Then I have twenty thousand dollars laid around to try
- 18:24Speaker 2: to save their daughter.
- 18:27Speaker 1: Do I have that right, Sidney Sumner.
- 18:30Speaker 6: Nancy, Yeah, that's what we've heard on the stand today.
- 18:33Speaker 6: And Regina Ventura's testimony was very very quick. She wasn't
- 18:37Speaker 6: even cross examined, so that the defense just let her
- 18:41Speaker 6: testimony stand unchallenged. And I understand that these were two
- 18:46Speaker 6: separate emails. So Cassie reached out to her mom to say,
- 18:50Speaker 6: I'm agree that he's going to release two explicit sex
- 18:54Speaker 6: tapes of me, and I don't know what to do,
- 18:58Speaker 6: So she reached out to her mom to she felt
- 19:00Speaker 6: that this threat was very very real, and then Regina
- 19:04Speaker 6: Ventura received another communication from Calm separately that was demanding
- 19:09Speaker 6: he be reimbursed for how much money he invested in
- 19:13Speaker 6: Caffie because she was now off with some other man
- 19:16Speaker 6: and that man was alleged as kid cutting. So he
- 19:20Speaker 6: reached out to her demands that she pay him twenty
- 19:23Speaker 6: thousand dollars. And judging from what Cassie told her in
- 19:27Speaker 6: that email, she was very afraid that her daughter was
- 19:30Speaker 6: going to get hurt. So yes, they run out to
- 19:32Speaker 6: a bank, they put out a loan on their home
- 19:36Speaker 6: to get this twenty thousand dollars. They wire it to
- 19:40Speaker 6: a bad boy account and a few days later, with
- 19:43Speaker 6: no explanation, they get all of the money back.
- 19:52Speaker 1: Crime Stores With Nancy Grace.
- 19:58Speaker 2: We are live at the Federal Court in Manhattan with
- 20:01Speaker 2: the latest in the trial of Sean Comb's aka Ditty.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Straight back out to Sydney Sumner. Now when we are
- 20:09Speaker 2: reviewing what Cassie Ventura's mother said on the stand, and
- 20:14Speaker 2: I want to show you right now photos that Cassie's mother,
- 20:19Speaker 2: Regina Ventura, took off her daughter. There's the fat lip photo.
- 20:25Speaker 1: Keep going. I want to see all the.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Photos that the jury see that little mark at the
- 20:30Speaker 2: bottom States exhibit. You're seeing what the jury seeing. That
- 20:36Speaker 2: is the cut to the head where Cassie had to
- 20:40Speaker 2: go and say, ooh, see a plastic surgeon and get
- 20:45Speaker 2: it sewn up. There's a bruise to the head, bruising
- 20:51Speaker 2: to the leg. All of these photos came in corroborated
- 20:56Speaker 2: by Regina Ventura. More bruises on her back and oops.
- 21:01Speaker 2: Cassie Ventura was flying home for Christmas. She sent her
- 21:06Speaker 2: mom an email that Regina Ventura, the mom said, made
- 21:11Speaker 2: her physically sick.
- 21:14Speaker 1: The threats that have been made.
- 21:15Speaker 2: To me by Sean Puffy Combs or that he is
- 21:18Speaker 2: going to release two explicit tapes of me, said the email.
- 21:22Speaker 2: He also said he will be having someone hurt me
- 21:28Speaker 2: as Scott MUSCUTI physically. That's kid cutting. I was physically sick,
- 21:33Speaker 2: testifies mom Regina Ventura. I did not understand a lot
- 21:38Speaker 2: of it.
- 21:38Speaker 1: The sex tapes through me.
- 21:40Speaker 2: This is verbatim what she just said on the stand.
- 21:43Speaker 2: She testified. Shawn Comes demanded twenty thousand dollars to quote
- 21:47Speaker 2: recoup money he had spent on Cassie. She and her
- 21:52Speaker 2: husband take out a home equity loan. She says, under oath, verbatim,
- 21:58Speaker 2: we decided that's the only way we could get the money.
- 22:01Speaker 2: I was scared for my daughter's safety.
- 22:04Speaker 1: Regina Ventura used.
- 22:05Speaker 2: A Kodak digital cam to take photos of Cassie's bruised
- 22:10Speaker 2: back arm leg quote. She was bruised and I wanted
- 22:15Speaker 2: to memorialize it.
- 22:18Speaker 1: To Sidney Sumner, the jury.
- 22:21Speaker 2: Has just seen the photos that mom Regina Ventura took
- 22:25Speaker 2: off Cassie.
- 22:26Speaker 1: Is that correct?
- 22:27Speaker 6: Absolutely, Nancy. They are seeing those photos of Cassie over
- 22:32Speaker 6: Christmas break twenty eleven at her parents' Connecticut home, covered
- 22:37Speaker 6: and bruises after an assault from Sean Diddy.
- 22:41Speaker 2: Colms straight out to a special guest joining us, Brett Brown,
- 22:47Speaker 2: director of SATH Surviving Assault Standing Strong, a nonprofit dedicated
- 22:53Speaker 2: to ending sex attacks and sex trafficking.
- 22:56Speaker 1: Of women and girls.
- 22:58Speaker 2: You know what, I know why the defense did not
- 23:01Speaker 2: cross examine the mom, Regina Ventura.
- 23:04Speaker 1: And isn't it true, Brett.
- 23:06Speaker 2: Brown, that when the ladies that you minister too, that
- 23:11Speaker 2: you help take care of, when all else fails, they
- 23:16Speaker 2: call their mom. I've had so many murder victims the
- 23:21Speaker 2: last thing they said on this earth is mom, mother, Mama.
- 23:28Speaker 1: That's the last thing they say.
- 23:32Speaker 2: And here we see Cassie Ventura in such a state
- 23:36Speaker 2: that she emails her mom that Combs is going to
- 23:40Speaker 2: release sex tapes of her that will go viral. I
- 23:45Speaker 2: mean she must have been in the depths of despair, Brett.
- 23:49Speaker 1: It is desperation.
- 23:50Speaker 8: In moments of desperation, we go back to the person
- 23:54Speaker 8: or people that we know will believe us, will love
- 23:57Speaker 8: us no matter what's being said about us or what's
- 24:00Speaker 8: been done to us, the people who will accept us
- 24:02Speaker 8: as is and possibly help. And that's where she went.
- 24:06Speaker 8: She went to the place where she was felt the
- 24:08Speaker 8: safest and could let her guard down and say what happened.
- 24:13Speaker 8: You know, when you look at this whole situation, I
- 24:15Speaker 8: know why they didn't cross examine Regina Ventura because Combs
- 24:19Speaker 8: is a predator who collects possessions. That's what he does,
- 24:22Speaker 8: whether we're talking about Cassie or David James, and it
- 24:25Speaker 8: even extended to some of her friends that he had
- 24:27Speaker 8: to pay off. But the thing is, when you start
- 24:31Speaker 8: growing your ownership in terms of individuals, then eventually you
- 24:35Speaker 8: get worried that something's going to get lost or that
- 24:38Speaker 8: one of these people you own will make noise. And
- 24:41Speaker 8: so the threat there was to isolate Cassie from her mom,
- 24:46Speaker 8: potentially to say we're going to release this, and what
- 24:48Speaker 8: mom wouldn't pay money? So I think it was a
- 24:51Speaker 8: litmus test to see how desperate her mother would be
- 24:55Speaker 8: to protect Cassie, because when we are desperate, we'll do
- 24:58Speaker 8: all kinds of things. And then too, I think he
- 25:01Speaker 8: took the money back without explanation, because if she had
- 25:04Speaker 8: paid him to not release those videos, her mother wouldn't
- 25:08Speaker 8: be on the hook either. So this was another move, you.
- 25:11Speaker 2: Know, moorese let me follow up on what Brett Brown
- 25:13Speaker 2: just said. Whether he took the money or didn't take
- 25:17Speaker 2: the money, the extortion is complete under the law. The
- 25:21Speaker 2: extortion claim has been made out because the mother sent
- 25:26Speaker 2: the money.
- 25:27Speaker 1: Whether he doesn't matter. Then she sent the money.
- 25:33Speaker 9: Extortion for what. This is a sex trafficking trial, Nancy.
- 25:37Speaker 9: You just said the words read the indictment that I
- 25:42Speaker 9: did last night, and the only evidence is paragraph for
- 25:45Speaker 9: which everybody keeps jumping on. No, that's not extortion under
- 25:48Speaker 9: these charges. You said the thing that's never been said
- 25:51Speaker 9: by a sex trafficking.
- 25:54Speaker 1: In case riddle. He said, that's Christmas.
- 25:58Speaker 9: He flew home at Christmas. Can you tell me a
- 26:02Speaker 9: sex trafficking case where the victim flew home at Christmas
- 26:05Speaker 9: fourteen years yes, trial and please crow? Okay, okay, So
- 26:09Speaker 9: this case is built on gossip, anger, and exaggeration. I
- 26:13Speaker 9: thought last week was the.
- 26:16Speaker 1: Testimony beating photos. Yes, domestics. You think this is again?
- 26:23Speaker 1: I made that all up.
- 26:24Speaker 9: This is domestic This is domestic violence, not sex trafficking.
- 26:28Speaker 9: You're you're criminalizing partying in this.
- 26:30Speaker 1: Case is trafficking. The endment also says sex trafficking. You
- 26:35Speaker 1: said this is.
- 26:36Speaker 9: Yes, says it, Nancy, it says it.
- 26:38Speaker 1: Come on you.
- 26:40Speaker 2: Telling me you've never had a sex trafficking case where
- 26:44Speaker 2: the women were not beaten into submission in order to
- 26:47Speaker 2: perform sexually.
- 26:48Speaker 1: No, the women. You need to go ba to law
- 26:51Speaker 1: school man.
- 26:52Speaker 6: Oh no, I don't.
- 26:53Speaker 9: Women don't get to fly home to their family and
- 26:55Speaker 9: spend Christmas and then go back with the perpetrator. That
- 26:58Speaker 9: doesn't generally happen in sex trafficking. And you can tell
- 27:01Speaker 9: me where people were convicted that that happened. Tell me
- 27:04Speaker 9: where people are flying on private jets and claiming to
- 27:06Speaker 9: be sex trafficked. I pointed it out last week, and
- 27:09Speaker 9: I'll point it out again. When I did the story
- 27:12Speaker 9: that you did of the young lady found in the
- 27:14Speaker 9: closet of a sex offender naked. That's more in line
- 27:17Speaker 9: with sexual based defenses. This is a horrible thing that
- 27:21Speaker 9: happened to this lady. But these people that are testifying
- 27:24Speaker 9: are angry, they're exaggerating. Listen to Don Richards's testimony, they're
- 27:28Speaker 9: making it up. Cassie already said Ditty's an opioid addict.
- 27:32Speaker 9: She was also, what does Don Richards say? I saw
- 27:35Speaker 9: a dude, saw Diddy do every drug but opioids. Give
- 27:39Speaker 9: me a break here.
- 27:40Speaker 2: We have just received an urgent missive from the office
- 27:44Speaker 2: of veteran defense attorney.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Mark Gerrigoes, no doubt about it. He's a great lawyer.
- 27:48Speaker 2: His daughter, Tinny Garrigos, is one of the lead defense
- 27:52Speaker 2: attorneys for Sean Combs.
- 27:53Speaker 1: And they want us to clarify.
- 27:55Speaker 2: A statement said yesterday that people were paying aid to
- 28:00Speaker 2: wear free puffy T shirts twenty dollars an hour. Wait,
- 28:06Speaker 2: they're saying it's fault that comes as public relations. People
- 28:11Speaker 2: paid anyone to wear the T shirts?
- 28:15Speaker 1: Well, who is paying them? Listen, why do you why
- 28:19Speaker 1: do you why do you feel that way?
- 28:20Speaker 3: So if these are all paid protesters. You can get
- 28:23Speaker 3: twenty dollars an hour if you wear a T shirt.
- 28:26Speaker 10: She just got recruited, right if you said no, it
- 28:31Speaker 10: wasn't worth twenty.
- 28:33Speaker 3: No, but like he told me that it's for a
- 28:34Speaker 3: bitty hooid.
- 28:35Speaker 1: So oh, I'm not really sure what that is.
- 28:40Speaker 3: Yeah, they just tried to get twenty dollars to wear
- 28:43Speaker 3: a free funcky shirt.
- 28:44Speaker 1: Stop.
- 28:45Speaker 3: I knew I could tell because the later right this,
- 28:47Speaker 3: she just kept convincing me to wear to go wear
- 28:49Speaker 3: a shirt, and I'm like.
- 28:50Speaker 11: I'm gonna be that's so, that's so just twenty dollars.
- 28:53Speaker 9: And if you guys wear you need twenty dollars, all
- 28:56Speaker 9: you have to do is wear a free Pumps shirt.
- 29:01Speaker 3: And you said, yeah, so did they see how many hours?
- 29:05Speaker 3: And she told me that I'd be like sixteen hours
- 29:07Speaker 3: yesterday towards standing.
- 29:08Speaker 9: Up on her.
- 29:10Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yeah, so Rob Shooter PR Guru.
- 29:15Speaker 2: They're concerned that it's been stated that comes as PR
- 29:19Speaker 2: team paid people to wear the T shirt.
- 29:22Speaker 1: I would think that the missive would say he didn't
- 29:26Speaker 1: do this, He's not guilty. Why are you saying this?
- 29:29Speaker 1: But instead it's like it's completely false.
- 29:32Speaker 2: Mister Comes public relations people paid anyone to wear those
- 29:35Speaker 2: T shirts.
- 29:36Speaker 1: Do you see the problem there, Shooter.
- 29:39Speaker 7: Yeah, Yeah, it's a it's a really really complicated, silly
- 29:43Speaker 7: thing for them to do here. It tells us that
- 29:45Speaker 7: of all the stuff we've heard, all the horror stories,
- 29:49Speaker 7: all the testimony, all the facts, this is what they
- 29:54Speaker 7: want to focus on. Whether or not a PR team
- 29:59Speaker 7: paid some body to wear a T shirt, which is
- 30:02Speaker 7: not that unusual in the music business, maybe in the
- 30:05Speaker 7: criminal justice system, but this is their priority. And I
- 30:08Speaker 7: have to ask, why, why is this of all the
- 30:11Speaker 7: things we've heard, why is this the most.
- 30:13Speaker 1: Important crime stories?
- 30:22Speaker 2: With Nancy Grace, I think we heard yesterday straight out
- 30:29Speaker 2: to Scott Johnson, forensic psychologist thirty two years specializing in
- 30:34Speaker 2: addressing sex predators, author of Physical Abusers and Sex Offenders
- 30:41Speaker 2: Forensic Considerations. Scott question, I would think that denying the
- 30:48Speaker 2: claims of sex trafficking would be paramount. Instead, it's about
- 30:53Speaker 2: a midst of about a T shirt. But another thing
- 30:56Speaker 2: we learned is that Sean Combs would set throngs of
- 31:01Speaker 2: people at his public appearances and apparently is unhappy the
- 31:06Speaker 2: lack of attendees and supporters outside the courthouse I think
- 31:11Speaker 2: he was expecting something along the lines of a Johnny
- 31:14Speaker 2: Depp crowd or possibly Luigimigioni crowd of worshippers from our
- 31:21Speaker 2: friends at Fox five NDC and Whas eleven. What does
- 31:26Speaker 2: that tell you as a forensics psychologist.
- 31:29Speaker 12: Well, he is very much appearing like a sexual, sadist
- 31:34Speaker 12: and violent man, obviously, but he's a narcissist and he
- 31:39Speaker 12: needs the distraction, He needs the little things, the other
- 31:43Speaker 12: people to come and say, oh, he wouldn't do this,
- 31:45Speaker 12: we love him. Well, that's fine. You can love a rapist,
- 31:48Speaker 12: you can love someone who extorts, even if they're famous.
- 31:52Speaker 12: But in his mindset, he's a narcissistic number one. I'm
- 31:57Speaker 12: the most important person, as you've already referenced, I am
- 32:00Speaker 12: God if you will, and that makes him even more
- 32:03Speaker 12: dangerous because he just doesn't care.
- 32:06Speaker 2: We are also learning a lot about the quote other
- 32:10Speaker 2: woman defense that is emerging, and it's all about a
- 32:14Speaker 2: woman named Gina. But for a Sydney Sumner, I have
- 32:18Speaker 2: to ask about Sean colmbs. One of the favorite pills
- 32:22Speaker 2: he would carry in his Louis Vuitton stuff with Viagra
- 32:25Speaker 2: and horse traink and plan Be birth control pills.
- 32:29Speaker 1: Is Obama ecstasy?
- 32:32Speaker 2: And I in no way am suggesting either former President
- 32:37Speaker 2: Obama or his beautiful wife Michelle used ecstasy.
- 32:41Speaker 1: What is Obama ecstasy?
- 32:44Speaker 6: So David James testified that there were various pills, but
- 32:50Speaker 6: one was in the form of a former president's face.
- 32:54Speaker 6: The prosecutor had to ask him which former president and
- 32:58Speaker 6: he responded Obama. So James claims that Colin was carried
- 33:04Speaker 6: around ecstasy pills in the shape of Obama's face. Why
- 33:10Speaker 6: I could not tell you?
- 33:12Speaker 2: Okay, shooter, I'm calling in the expert a Louis Vuitton bag.
- 33:18Speaker 1: I can't get away from this stuff.
- 33:19Speaker 2: With Plan B, birth control, horse train, ecstasy, cocaine, viagra,
- 33:25Speaker 2: needed a lot of viagra, sperm count pills and Obama ecstasy.
- 33:31Speaker 7: What When I heard that, my head exploded and I
- 33:36Speaker 7: thought about it. And having worked with perf I know
- 33:40Speaker 7: that he even though he's a big star, he also
- 33:44Speaker 7: is a big fan. There's people that get on his
- 33:47Speaker 7: radar that he becomes obsessed with. When I was working
- 33:49Speaker 7: with him, it was Prince Harry and Prince William. After
- 33:52Speaker 7: I left, his sounds like he moved on to President Obama.
- 33:56Speaker 7: But he has these obsessions with people. People he he
- 34:00Speaker 7: wants to be like people, He respects, people he fears,
- 34:03Speaker 7: and so I'm not surprised here that he didn't outgrow this.
- 34:08Speaker 7: His crush, his man crush changed from the princess to
- 34:11Speaker 7: a president, but nevertheless he has people that he gets
- 34:15Speaker 7: very very obsessed with.
- 34:16Speaker 2: Personal assistant that describes breaking down in tears working for
- 34:21Speaker 2: Shawn Combs to an angry mother, the mother of alleged
- 34:26Speaker 2: victim Cassie Ventira.
- 34:27Speaker 1: This day has been explosive in a.
- 34:31Speaker 2: Federal courthouse in Manhattan where Sean Combs being tried on
- 34:34Speaker 2: a multi count federal indictment including extortion and sex trafficking.
- 34:40Speaker 2: We also heard proof of what was gossiped about rumored
- 34:48Speaker 2: months ago, a forced medical procedure on a female victim.
- 34:55Speaker 10: Listen the Gina, both Cassie and best friend Carrie Morgan
- 34:59Speaker 10: referre too is fashion and travel blogger Virginia, who in
- 35:03Speaker 10: Gina says her relationship with Diddy began on Valentine's Day
- 35:07Speaker 10: twenty fourteen after a chance meeting in Miami, and she
- 35:11Speaker 10: continued to see Combs for about five years, deeply in
- 35:14Speaker 10: love with him, despite his continued relationship with Cassie after
- 35:18Speaker 10: their breakup. In twenty nineteen, Gina gave an emotional interview
- 35:21Speaker 10: detailing physical abuse from Combs in two instances where he
- 35:25Speaker 10: pressured her into getting an abortion.
- 35:28Speaker 11: He was like, you're gonna get an abortion, right, and
- 35:30Speaker 11: then I was like, I don't know. Uh, I don't
- 35:36Speaker 11: know yet, and then he offered me fifty thousand to
- 35:41Speaker 11: get rid.
- 35:41Speaker 2: Of it from our friends at online, with Tasha Kay
- 35:46Speaker 2: joining me. Veteran detective Chris McDonough. He is the director
- 35:51Speaker 2: of the Cole Case Foundation, former homicide detective, former vice detective,
- 35:55Speaker 2: and you can see him now as the star of
- 35:58Speaker 2: the Interview Room on YouTube. Chris, thank you for being
- 36:02Speaker 2: with us.
- 36:03Speaker 1: You know, so very.
- 36:05Speaker 2: Often when you start a felony investigation, like you may
- 36:10Speaker 2: start a homicide investigation, right, but then it's a many
- 36:15Speaker 2: headed hydra. You start and you slay the first head,
- 36:21Speaker 2: and then suddenly another head, for instance, extortion, and then
- 36:28Speaker 2: another head of the beast forcing someone to get an abortion,
- 36:31Speaker 2: and then another and another and another and another. Are
- 36:36Speaker 2: you surprised that one person is allegedly responsible for so
- 36:43Speaker 2: many evil and despicable acts?
- 36:48Speaker 13: Not at all, Nancy. I mean, we're looking at a
- 36:50Speaker 13: situation where this is a one man recocase, and of
- 36:54Speaker 13: course it always comes back to that power domination and
- 36:58Speaker 13: control over any in his environment. And if we look
- 37:03Speaker 13: at this writer concept right that they should just actually
- 37:06Speaker 13: call it a riser concept because everything in that bag
- 37:11Speaker 13: pointed towards his power control over any sexual activity around him,
- 37:17Speaker 13: and so it's total emotional manipulation to everybody that comes
- 37:21Speaker 13: into a circle.
- 37:22Speaker 2: We also learn part of the psychopathy behind what Shawn
- 37:28Speaker 2: Combs allegedly would do. Now this is critical to the
- 37:33Speaker 2: trial strategy. And even though Greg Morris and I are
- 37:36Speaker 2: sporing partners, I think he's going to agree with this.
- 37:40Speaker 1: That hotel beat.
- 37:42Speaker 2: Down video from the Intercontinental is a single most powerful
- 37:45Speaker 2: evidence so far. It corroborates everything Cassi Ventior with saying,
- 37:48Speaker 2: so somehow this has to be defeated. Mark Garrigos told
- 37:55Speaker 2: me point blank that in this video Cassie is actually
- 37:59Speaker 2: the progress her and she wasn't leaving a freak off,
- 38:02Speaker 2: She wasn't trying to get away from a freak off.
- 38:05Speaker 1: She was angry.
- 38:06Speaker 2: Because Combs had gotten a text from another woman. Is
- 38:11Speaker 2: that quote other.
- 38:12Speaker 1: Woman, Gina?
- 38:16Speaker 2: I want you to hear part of Sean Combe's psychopathy.
- 38:21Speaker 11: Listen, he would always compare me to Cassie and tell
- 38:24Speaker 11: me that I'm the bad one and she's a good one.
- 38:29Speaker 1: And he was with both of you guys at the
- 38:30Speaker 1: same time. Yeah, that's where my friends at unwine with Tasha.
- 38:33Speaker 2: Kay, did you hear the trial strategy there, Greg Morris
- 38:38Speaker 2: pitying Gina the so called other woman, against Cassie Ventura.
- 38:46Speaker 2: And this is what I think they're doing. And just
- 38:49Speaker 2: don't argue with me. Just tell me if you think
- 38:52Speaker 2: this makes sense. They got to defeat that Intercontinental Hotel
- 38:56Speaker 2: beat down of Cassie. They've got to for any hope
- 38:59Speaker 2: of women, Okay, And the way they are trying to
- 39:03Speaker 2: do it, I think is they're going to claim that
- 39:06Speaker 2: cass Evan Tira started the whole thing because she was
- 39:10Speaker 2: angry about a text and she was jealous about Gina,
- 39:14Speaker 2: and therefore what you think you're seeing is not what
- 39:18Speaker 2: you're seeing. They're going to try to defeat that video.
- 39:22Speaker 2: That's what this is all about.
- 39:24Speaker 9: If that's their defense and how they're going to deal
- 39:25Speaker 9: with that, it's not to me the right way to
- 39:28Speaker 9: deal with it.
- 39:29Speaker 1: It's simply which they've.
- 39:30Speaker 9: Talked about a little bit and opening that video. You're right,
- 39:33Speaker 9: I definitely agree with you. Is the strongest piece of
- 39:36Speaker 9: you know, very visceral evidence that the jury's seeing real
- 39:41Speaker 9: conduct and vicious conduct by Sean Combs. This is just
- 39:44Speaker 9: a simple thing of this is their evidence. This is
- 39:47Speaker 9: a domestic battery. This should be in state court. This
- 39:51Speaker 9: video isolated, doesn't support all the other testimony you heard
- 39:56Speaker 9: as far as you know, controlling her, so she stays
- 39:59Speaker 9: in the free I don't know if you tell the
- 40:02Speaker 9: jury somehow Cassie is somehow responsible for anything in this video,
- 40:07Speaker 9: you might as well just pack up because you've lost them.
- 40:09Speaker 9: They're not going to listen to you. There's no credibility there.
- 40:11Speaker 2: But they're trying their best to somehow spin that Intercontinental
- 40:16Speaker 2: Hotel video. And Attorney Mark Agnefello keeps hammering infidelity as
- 40:22Speaker 2: a cause of jealousy on the part of Cassie Ventura.
- 40:26Speaker 1: Listen.
- 40:27Speaker 14: Attorney Mark Agnifilo returns to infidelity issues on Carry Morgan's cross.
- 40:31Speaker 14: Morgan says Combs was jealous of Michael B. Jordan, but
- 40:34Speaker 14: says Cassie only flirted with Jordan because Combs continue to
- 40:37Speaker 14: see a woman named Gina he met in twenty fourteen.
- 40:40Speaker 14: Morgan says Cassie viewed Gina as a problem who just
- 40:43Speaker 14: wouldn't go away. Each time Cassie asked Combs to stop
- 40:46Speaker 14: seeing her, Cassie would catch them together again. Cassie testified
- 40:50Speaker 14: that a twenty eighteen photo of Comb's with Gina is
- 40:53Speaker 14: what led her to finally break up with the mogul.
- 40:56Speaker 2: We are live with the latest from the Federal courthouse
- 40:58Speaker 2: in Manhattan in the case of show On Comes versus
- 41:01Speaker 2: the US Government rob shooter. We heard on the witness
- 41:04Speaker 2: stand testimony that in one beating and this came from
- 41:08Speaker 2: Carrie Morgan, Ventiro's former friend, Cassie fell on a brick
- 41:14Speaker 2: of some sort and passed out. Was actually passed out,
- 41:20Speaker 2: got knocked out cold. Right, that's serious. That is a
- 41:25Speaker 2: concussion when you actually are passed out. But instead focusing
- 41:30Speaker 2: on that, they're angry that there are not Johnny Depp
- 41:34Speaker 2: or luigiman Gioni crowds outside the courthouse.
- 41:37Speaker 1: Is that a tiny bit misplaced?
- 41:39Speaker 7: Oh, it's absolutely foolish, it's really foolish behavior. But he
- 41:42Speaker 7: also talks to the ego of the gentleman that he's
- 41:45Speaker 7: paying them Puffy has a very, very fragile ego, and
- 41:50Speaker 7: that will really hurt his feelings. Boohoo. He'll be really
- 41:54Speaker 7: upset about these reports, particularly if these reports are true.
- 42:00Speaker 7: A couple of days ago on your show, Nancy, you
- 42:02Speaker 7: talked about how his his private parts were allegedly very small.
- 42:06Speaker 7: That will hurt did he crowd sizes will hurt.
- 42:10Speaker 2: Let's be clear the size Robert Tootsy role.
- 42:15Speaker 7: He is obsessed with size. He is obsessed with being
- 42:17Speaker 7: the biggest star in the world, having the biggest crowds
- 42:20Speaker 7: in the world, having the most fans in the world.
- 42:22Speaker 7: And none of that is true.
- 42:25Speaker 2: And let's be clear once again, for my sporing partner,
- 42:29Speaker 2: Mark Gear Agoes, Sean Holmes's PR team is not paying
- 42:34Speaker 2: people to wear those T shirts to say free perfey,
- 42:37Speaker 2: but somebody is.
- 42:38Speaker 1: Nancy Gray signing off, goodbye friend,
