Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
- 0:04Speaker 1: and everybody.
- 0:06Speaker 2: You know, if you don't lie about that, right, Lauren
- 0:08Speaker 2: came in.
- 0:09Speaker 1: Hey, y'all, it's Lauren l Rosa and this is the
- 0:12Speaker 1: latest with Lauren lo Rosa. Now, look, whenever we hear
- 0:17Speaker 1: on the pot, y'all know, I keep it really honest,
- 0:18Speaker 1: really real with y'all because this is where you get
- 0:20Speaker 1: your daily dig on entertainment news, pop culture, exclusive news.
- 0:25Speaker 1: But the conversations that shake the room. And if we're
- 0:27Speaker 1: doing the behind the scenes of the grind checking, man,
- 0:33Speaker 1: I'm trying to say a float right now. God is
- 0:35Speaker 1: so good and I'm managing everything. But y'all know, I'm
- 0:38Speaker 1: in court, which shakes up majority of my day, and
- 0:40Speaker 1: then I'm doing breakfast club, and then I got tall
- 0:42Speaker 1: to hear on the podcast, and yesterday I was really
- 0:45Speaker 1: sitting in court like, if I'm being honest with myself,
- 0:48Speaker 1: this case is over. Like, I how am I feeling?
- 0:51Speaker 1: I'm feeling like do I need to be in court
- 0:54Speaker 1: there every day? This case is over. I'm still gonna
- 0:56Speaker 1: go all right, you be telling me to be quiet
- 0:59Speaker 1: when you leave, I start talking again. I'm still gonna go.
- 1:01Speaker 1: But if I'm being you know, just transparent, I do
- 1:04Speaker 1: think that the government has established their case to the
- 1:07Speaker 1: point that they need to. So maybe it's the government
- 1:10Speaker 1: should rest at this point and Diddy team should come
- 1:13Speaker 1: in with their case because I'm very confused about what
- 1:15Speaker 1: that gives. So I want to have a conversation about
- 1:18Speaker 1: that because that goes into how I'm feeling today. I'm
- 1:21Speaker 1: torn in between the like, you know, of course I'm
- 1:23Speaker 1: gonna see it all the way through, but like, I
- 1:26Speaker 1: don't know, I just I'm a little tuned out, and
- 1:28Speaker 1: I know y'all probably are too.
- 1:29Speaker 2: It's been Diddy, Diddy, Diddy do di Diddy? Diddy did
- 1:31Speaker 2: did That's a crazy look? Diddy Diddy did? Did Diddy?
- 1:34Speaker 1: That could be a jingle? We should add that into
- 1:36Speaker 1: the intro tailor we should add that in. I know
- 1:39Speaker 1: y'all are tired of it though, and even if you
- 1:41Speaker 1: are not tired of the updates, I think at this
- 1:43Speaker 1: point even the most common person who does not follow
- 1:47Speaker 1: a law does not underscore standing court breakdowns. It's starting
- 1:51Speaker 1: to see the government really lay out their case and
- 1:54Speaker 1: it's strong right, it's not put you under the jail.
- 1:57Speaker 1: Strong in my opinion, but it is strong. So I'm
- 2:01Speaker 1: trying to figure out why the government is even still
- 2:03Speaker 1: bringing on witnesses. I think at this point we're just
- 2:05Speaker 1: kind of like beating a dead horse.
- 2:08Speaker 2: So let's talk about that a bit. Let's get into
- 2:10Speaker 2: it all right, y'all.
- 2:12Speaker 1: If I'm being honest, I really don't understand why we
- 2:15Speaker 1: are still in court. I feel like I know Diddy's
- 2:18Speaker 1: team still wants to present their side, you know, like
- 2:22Speaker 1: their witnesses and their arguments and response to certain things,
- 2:25Speaker 1: and I actually would, honestly, So maybe it's not I
- 2:28Speaker 1: understand why we still in court, why the prosecution just
- 2:31Speaker 1: doesn't rest right now. I think at this point they
- 2:33Speaker 1: can sit back, they can let Diddy's team come try
- 2:35Speaker 1: and debunk whatever they want to debunk, bring on whichever
- 2:38Speaker 1: witnesses they want to bring on. But I really think
- 2:40Speaker 1: that we've established everything that we need to know and
- 2:42Speaker 1: understand for the charges that they are a legend. I
- 2:45Speaker 1: still stand by the fact that I don't think that
- 2:47Speaker 1: he is going to be under the jail the way
- 2:49Speaker 1: did they threw this out there when the indictment first came.
- 2:52Speaker 1: But he's definitely not going home. And I was that
- 2:55Speaker 1: for me was wrapped up with a bow. Maybe second
- 2:59Speaker 1: we could testimonies, right, But yesterday in court we heard
- 3:02Speaker 1: the final testimony cross testimony across interviews by Deontay Nash,
- 3:08Speaker 1: who is very close friends, best friends with Cassie Ventura
- 3:12Speaker 1: but also her stylist, and he spoke to a couple
- 3:15Speaker 1: of different things as well to.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Setting her up with Michael B. Jordan.
- 3:18Speaker 1: And you know, I think the defense was really trying
- 3:21Speaker 1: to poke holes in the fact of their friendship. Like, Okay,
- 3:24Speaker 1: so you've been friends with Cassie for all of these
- 3:27Speaker 1: years and for all of this time, but for years
- 3:30Speaker 1: she didn't tell you about these these you know, alleged
- 3:32Speaker 1: sexual encounters she was having, and she never said to you,
- 3:37Speaker 1: like basically, she didn't paint this full picture to you.
- 3:39Speaker 1: So how credible are you even here as a witness
- 3:43Speaker 1: as her best friend? And how credible is what you're
- 3:46Speaker 1: saying to us about because Deontay's whole thing was Cassie
- 3:49Speaker 1: had always said she didn't want to go to these hotels,
- 3:51Speaker 1: she didn't like doing certain things.
- 3:54Speaker 2: She basically was like on this.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Like very high high, very low low ride with Diddy
- 3:59Speaker 1: because because she was in love with him, and she
- 4:01Speaker 1: e everything in her life was controlled and wrangled by him.
- 4:05Speaker 1: The defense attorney that was that worked for Diddy, that
- 4:08Speaker 1: was trying to, you know, cross examine Deontay Nash. I
- 4:11Speaker 1: don't think that they really had a And this has
- 4:14Speaker 1: been my thing with them the last couple days. It's like,
- 4:16Speaker 1: where's what's your focus? Like what is the point that
- 4:18Speaker 1: you were trying to get conveyed to the drawers because
- 4:21Speaker 1: I'm a normal person. I'm not a drawer, but I
- 4:22Speaker 1: am a normal person like a drawer, and I'm sitting
- 4:25Speaker 1: there and I'm like, I don't understand what he's trying
- 4:27Speaker 1: to get to. And the one thing that I feel
- 4:30Speaker 1: like he finally came around to, which was Cassie didn't
- 4:32Speaker 1: have any say, so she didn't have any power, she
- 4:35Speaker 1: didn't have a mind of her own, and debunking that.
- 4:38Speaker 1: They did a horrible job at it because every time
- 4:41Speaker 1: they would bring up okay, so Cassie was able to
- 4:43Speaker 1: make her own decisions, and you know, Deontay would be like,
- 4:45Speaker 1: I mean yeah, but at the same time, like I've
- 4:49Speaker 1: also seen Diddy allegedly be very violent with her. All
- 4:53Speaker 1: I understand at this point, like he Deoncey presented it
- 4:56Speaker 1: as the friend who you fear for your friend on
- 5:00Speaker 1: how bad things get for your friend and needs in
- 5:03Speaker 1: their situation. But it's like, what am I going to
- 5:06Speaker 1: do besides just be there with you, go through go
- 5:09Speaker 1: through the motions of what you're going through. Uh, you know,
- 5:12Speaker 1: there were certain times where he was telling cat like
- 5:15Speaker 1: there were certain times where even Cassie was texting him
- 5:17Speaker 1: like he's mad that I stood up for myself, talking
- 5:20Speaker 1: about Diddy allegedly right, and Deontay was like, on the stand,
- 5:22Speaker 1: Deonta was like they were reading a text and it
- 5:24Speaker 1: was about Cassie seeing how there was one time where
- 5:27Speaker 1: they flew into Mexico and Diddy allegedly was so pissed
- 5:30Speaker 1: off because she like posted something online or whatever it was.
- 5:33Speaker 1: She was standing up for herself in a certain situation.
- 5:35Speaker 1: And as they're reading the text message, Cassie's like, you know,
- 5:38Speaker 1: it's my turn to be a bitch like I. You know,
- 5:41Speaker 1: he's mad when he doesn't get his way, and I'm
- 5:43Speaker 1: tired of it and I deserved these vacations because of
- 5:45Speaker 1: what I went through. Deontay said, yes, Cassie on the stand,
- 5:48Speaker 1: like he's one of those friends that it's like, I
- 5:50Speaker 1: know what's happening.
- 5:51Speaker 2: What am I supposed to do?
- 5:53Speaker 1: Later on in testimony after him with the woman who
- 5:56Speaker 1: testified as Mia, we also learned and Deonta talked a
- 5:59Speaker 1: bit about this about like the things that Deonta experienced
- 6:02Speaker 1: at the hands of Diddy and Cassie's relationship.
- 6:05Speaker 2: With being you know berated verbally.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Mia testified and corroborated, you know, Deontay getting into a
- 6:12Speaker 1: physical altercation with Diddy, trying to basically save Cassie from
- 6:16Speaker 1: being physically beat by Diddy in her home while packing
- 6:20Speaker 1: for a trip. Me alleged Deontay came. I don't even
- 6:25Speaker 1: think it was that he came prepared. I think it
- 6:28Speaker 1: was more so of a this is my story, this
- 6:31Speaker 1: is my truth, and I'm sticking with it, and there's
- 6:32Speaker 1: nothing you're going to do to like rattle me, because
- 6:36Speaker 1: this was a real thing for us. They even brought
- 6:39Speaker 1: up text messages with Deontay where Deontay had text Diddy
- 6:42Speaker 1: and said things like, you know, text him on his birthday,
- 6:45Speaker 1: text him when kim Porter passed away, and there was
- 6:48Speaker 1: a conversation back and forth between Deontay and Diddy when
- 6:51Speaker 1: he texted them following Kimp Porter's you know death, just
- 6:54Speaker 1: checking it on him, and Diddy was asking him, like,
- 6:57Speaker 1: why you didn't tell me about the trainer. He like
- 7:00Speaker 1: the trainer, the trainer and my soldier boy Voye and
- 7:02Speaker 1: Deontay and the text said, look, Dan got nothing to
- 7:05Speaker 1: do with me. Don't do that. That has nothing to
- 7:07Speaker 1: do with me whatsoever. And did he was telling him like,
- 7:09Speaker 1: you know, if she ever needs anything, let me know.
- 7:11Speaker 1: So he was like that middle person. And to be
- 7:13Speaker 1: honest with you, I think anybody, any human being sitting
- 7:17Speaker 1: in that courtroom yesterday listening to Deonta and seeing how
- 7:20Speaker 1: the defense was trying to angle him as this person
- 7:22Speaker 1: who wasn't credible because Cassie didn't tell all her deep,
- 7:25Speaker 1: darkest secrets to him for some time, or because there
- 7:29Speaker 1: were there were like small things that he that I
- 7:33Speaker 1: think they brought up text message, like the conversations with Didd.
- 7:35Speaker 1: He like basically trying to establish that him and did
- 7:37Speaker 1: He had their own relationship and things of that nature.
- 7:39Speaker 1: None of that mattered, because what Deontay made it very
- 7:42Speaker 1: clear was when I would reach out to him, we
- 7:44Speaker 1: had our own relationship outside of that And even with
- 7:46Speaker 1: Cassie's twenty ninth birthday, did He planned her a surprise
- 7:50Speaker 1: dinner in la and Cassie testified that this surprise dinner
- 7:55Speaker 1: actually turned into her being forced, allegedly to go and
- 7:58Speaker 1: do a freak off that she did not want to do.
- 8:00Speaker 1: You want to just do dinner and then go do
- 8:01Speaker 1: karaokee with her friends because it was her birthday.
- 8:04Speaker 2: Deonta came in and.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Cooperated that talking about you know, hearing did he and
- 8:09Speaker 1: Cassie in a corner, and he alleges that did he
- 8:12Speaker 1: was saying, like, you know, you can't do this one
- 8:13Speaker 1: thing for me. He also alleges that you know he
- 8:16Speaker 1: had heard did he say that? You know that night
- 8:19Speaker 1: they were going to it was so funny. He was
- 8:22Speaker 1: like when he said that, he was like, your girl
- 8:24Speaker 1: gonna get some dick to night, and no whole court
- 8:26Speaker 1: was like but he Deonta as a friend, number one,
- 8:32Speaker 1: he was a great witness.
- 8:33Speaker 2: He was very entertaining.
- 8:34Speaker 1: But as a friend, he assumed that role that I
- 8:37Speaker 1: think a lot of people have had to assume at
- 8:39Speaker 1: some point in their life where it's like there's nothing
- 8:41Speaker 1: you can do to control grown people, especially two grown
- 8:44Speaker 1: people in love. Or in chaos or whatever that was,
- 8:47Speaker 1: and the defense couldn't there was nothing they could do
- 8:50Speaker 1: with it. And I think that they would have actually
- 8:52Speaker 1: been better leaving him and not asking Deonta certain questions
- 8:57Speaker 1: then trying so hard to get to a point that
- 8:59Speaker 1: they were feeling miserably to get to with him.
- 9:02Speaker 2: But then we move into Mia.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Mia is a personal assistant, a former personal assistant of Ditties.
- 9:07Speaker 1: She also was the person who launched Revolt Films for him,
- 9:10Speaker 1: and she was the director of development for Revolt Films.
- 9:13Speaker 2: And Mia is not her real name. She's testifying under
- 9:16Speaker 2: a pseudonym.
- 9:17Speaker 1: And I just actually made a phone call to ask
- 9:20Speaker 1: y and I was told that it's just because it's
- 9:23Speaker 1: what she wanted and what she requested. The other witnesses
- 9:25Speaker 1: up until this point have not requested it, but her
- 9:28Speaker 1: testifying under a pseudonym meant that, like when I tell y'all,
- 9:31Speaker 1: they the courthouse was like if David saw you sketching
- 9:35Speaker 1: something while she was on the stand, they assumed that
- 9:37Speaker 1: you were drawing her face, and they would come over
- 9:39Speaker 1: and monitor to you and monitor to everything that you
- 9:41Speaker 1: were doing. Like they were so serious about making sure
- 9:44Speaker 1: that her identity and you know her infram it like
- 9:47Speaker 1: certain things just didn't get out. But they put me
- 9:49Speaker 1: on the stand after Deontay and they then began to
- 9:52Speaker 1: break down, like how she even got my notebook. How
- 9:55Speaker 1: she even began to work for Ditty. So she says that,
- 9:57Speaker 1: you know, she was a former employee of his. She
- 10:00Speaker 1: began working with him like very early, very young in
- 10:02Speaker 1: her career. She had had a couple other jobs prior
- 10:07Speaker 1: to him. She had worked for Georgina Chapman. She was
- 10:10Speaker 1: doing like red carpet like celebrity dressing. She had worked
- 10:12Speaker 1: for Mike Myers, the comedian as a personal assistant, but
- 10:15Speaker 1: she says working for Diddy between two thousand and nine
- 10:19Speaker 1: and twenty seventeen was probably one of the most She
- 10:24Speaker 1: described it as they had very high highs and very
- 10:27Speaker 1: low lows. She said that, you know, she was a
- 10:30Speaker 1: personal assistant prior to with Mike Myers, but they had
- 10:33Speaker 1: a set schedule. Things were, you know, ten to six.
- 10:36Speaker 1: She might have to watch his dog on the weekends.
- 10:38Speaker 1: And then she got with Ditty as a personal assistant,
- 10:41Speaker 1: and things were allegedly completely different, Like she talked about
- 10:44Speaker 1: one time not even being able to sleep for like
- 10:46Speaker 1: five days when she first started, because she was nervous
- 10:48Speaker 1: that she would get a phone call and miss something
- 10:51Speaker 1: and she would lose a job. One of the things
- 10:54Speaker 1: that I think the prosecution did really well with me
- 10:57Speaker 1: it was even though a lot of this stuff that
- 11:00Speaker 1: she was talking about we've heard her talk about multiple times,
- 11:04Speaker 1: they were able to really paint a more closer picture
- 11:07Speaker 1: on things that I think a lot of people are
- 11:08Speaker 1: brushing over and not understanding why we're even talking about. Right, Like, so,
- 11:12Speaker 1: they've talked to other personal assistants and previous employee employees
- 11:16Speaker 1: about just being overworked and being you know, allegedly forced
- 11:20Speaker 1: to do things work wise that they didn't want to do,
- 11:22Speaker 1: but they were scared to lose their job or their money,
- 11:25Speaker 1: or you know, be blackballed allegedly. So she talked about
- 11:29Speaker 1: from the jump her very first interview with Ditty. She
- 11:32Speaker 1: alleges that there was a woman who was the head
- 11:35Speaker 1: of HR and she had been you know, in conversations
- 11:39Speaker 1: prior to but her first in person interview. This woman
- 11:41Speaker 1: took her to Ditty's home to do the interview that
- 11:44Speaker 1: to me was already off. I'm like, why are you
- 11:46Speaker 1: interviewing somebody's house, So this is your first interview with them.
- 11:48Speaker 1: But I'm like, hey, I've not been a personal assistant,
- 11:50Speaker 1: so maybe that's the thing. But she says that she
- 11:52Speaker 1: went to Ditty's apartment and Diddy answered the door allegedly
- 11:55Speaker 1: in his underwear, and then the woman who was the
- 11:58Speaker 1: head of all of it HR for him at the time,
- 12:01Speaker 1: introduced them and then left. And I'm like, head at
- 12:04Speaker 1: HR introducing you to the person that you about to
- 12:06Speaker 1: work for who entered the door on the phone and
- 12:08Speaker 1: in his underwear.
- 12:10Speaker 2: It's very weird, but I already knew.
- 12:11Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, they're about to set the scene that
- 12:13Speaker 1: people were very complicit. People were they were okay with
- 12:17Speaker 1: the environment that was happening. So the environment got worse
- 12:19Speaker 1: from day one, and that's exactly what happened. She says
- 12:23Speaker 1: that they went through with the interview eventually did he
- 12:25Speaker 1: did put on some clothes, and then she got into
- 12:28Speaker 1: the job. She says her first week she worked insane,
- 12:33Speaker 1: had to switch areas. Guys, sorry, but yeah, so that's
- 12:38Speaker 1: exactly what happened. So then as Mia, it's talking about
- 12:42Speaker 1: you know, all of the you know, crazy work experiences, right,
- 12:46Speaker 1: like they asked her to describe the work environment, and
- 12:50Speaker 1: she said that it was chaotic, it was toxic.
- 12:52Speaker 2: She alleged that, you know, it was exciting at.
- 12:55Speaker 1: Times, but because of the really high highs and the
- 12:57Speaker 1: really low lows, like it was just like, oh.
- 12:59Speaker 2: Like she went through so much. She alleged that she
- 13:02Speaker 2: had things thrown at her, that she was thrown against
- 13:05Speaker 2: the wall.
- 13:05Speaker 1: She alleged that she was thrown into a pool. She
- 13:08Speaker 1: alleged that there was an ice bucket thrown in her head.
- 13:10Speaker 1: She alleged that her arm was shutting the door, and
- 13:12Speaker 1: then she also alleged that she was sexually assaulted multiple times.
- 13:18Speaker 1: I will say too this testimony, I think what went
- 13:21Speaker 1: into the emotion feeling of like, Okay, this is very emotional,
- 13:25Speaker 1: was the fact that normally with the rest of the witnesses,
- 13:28Speaker 1: even with Cassie, like she's looking up, even if she's
- 13:31Speaker 1: not looking at Ditty or the you know whoever's on
- 13:34Speaker 1: the stand, Even tho they're not looking at Ditty or
- 13:35Speaker 1: the other attorneys, they're looking at at least the attorney
- 13:38Speaker 1: that's talking to them. With Mia, with this witness, she
- 13:41Speaker 1: literally when I say she didn't say, she didn't look
- 13:44Speaker 1: up at all She did this the whole time as
- 13:46Speaker 1: she was talking. She would look up here and there,
- 13:48Speaker 1: and look, she was looking at the Florida the entire time.
- 13:50Speaker 1: She had a very shrinking, shrunken, timid personality. And then
- 13:57Speaker 1: she went into tears when she talked about the sexual assaults.
- 14:02Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean they were establishing the fact that
- 14:04Speaker 1: she worked a lot. She said that in the beginning
- 14:05Speaker 1: of things, you know, she was supposed to be paid
- 14:09Speaker 1: when she when she began at Revolt Films, or begin
- 14:12Speaker 1: Revolt Films with Diddy, she was supposed to be paid
- 14:14Speaker 1: a certain amount of money. It was like seventy thousand
- 14:16Speaker 1: dollars at first, and then it escalated to one hundred
- 14:19Speaker 1: thousand dollars, and then she was supposed to make bonuses
- 14:21Speaker 1: off of like the projects that they did. But she
- 14:23Speaker 1: said she never ended up getting any of the bonuses.
- 14:25Speaker 2: So that's all of.
- 14:26Speaker 1: Them establishing, like you know, the work environment thing and
- 14:29Speaker 1: the forced labor and bring it in the force.
- 14:32Speaker 2: In that situation.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Because in listening to that, I promise you'all when I
- 14:34Speaker 1: was listening to the stuff that she was saying about
- 14:36Speaker 1: the labor things like as far as like she would
- 14:39Speaker 1: you know, be in a studio all night. She was
- 14:41Speaker 1: put on this trial period to see if it would
- 14:42Speaker 1: to be last because the job is so like tough,
- 14:44Speaker 1: so vigorous.
- 14:47Speaker 2: She alleged that she would.
- 14:49Speaker 1: At one point, she didn't even sleep for days at
- 14:51Speaker 1: a time because she didn't want to lose her job.
- 14:54Speaker 1: She didn't know if she was gonna be called, and
- 14:55Speaker 1: she would be sleep so she would miss the call.
- 14:57Speaker 1: When she was saying all these things, I'm like that
- 15:00Speaker 1: that reminds me of working in entertainment of fashion, Like
- 15:02Speaker 1: that's how my career started.
- 15:04Speaker 2: Granted I didn't, you know it, experience.
- 15:08Speaker 1: Sexual assault and you know those things, and I'm not
- 15:11Speaker 1: excusing that, but I'm talking about just the you know,
- 15:13Speaker 1: the hours that she worked, the fear of like, oh
- 15:17Speaker 1: my god, if I don't get this exactly right, my
- 15:19Speaker 1: whole career is over. And I'm sitting there, I'm like, man,
- 15:23Speaker 1: a lot of this, you know, did he made certain
- 15:25Speaker 1: decisions that have blended him to where we are today.
- 15:28Speaker 1: But we also should be having a conversation about just
- 15:31Speaker 1: the culture in general, and like where things where they
- 15:35Speaker 1: are now and where they should never get back to.
- 15:37Speaker 1: And I feel like we have had those conversations and
- 15:39Speaker 1: things have changed, but I do think that there should be.
- 15:43Speaker 2: More onus on.
- 15:46Speaker 1: What was acceptable during certain times as well too. And
- 15:49Speaker 1: it made me start thinking of, like, how will a
- 15:51Speaker 1: jury think about that? Right, because the jury is mixed
- 15:54Speaker 1: with different races, men, women, different age groups. So there
- 15:59Speaker 1: are younger people on the jury who will be like,
- 16:01Speaker 1: oh my god, working you know over forty hours a
- 16:07Speaker 1: week is insane. But there are people of a certain
- 16:10Speaker 1: age group where it's like, if you understood what entertainment
- 16:13Speaker 1: was and what that lifestyle is, like, a forty hour
- 16:16Speaker 1: work week is not even like nine to five is
- 16:18Speaker 1: like unheard of, Like I've never any job I've ever had,
- 16:22Speaker 1: I've never so And not saying all this to say,
- 16:24Speaker 1: cause its not about me, but I'm saying all this
- 16:26Speaker 1: to say, as a jury is breaking this down, there
- 16:29Speaker 1: are so many outside factors that you have to think about.
- 16:33Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see how they determine and what
- 16:38Speaker 1: things actually and I know, after the jury like comes
- 16:41Speaker 1: to their you know, answers and sensing is done. Normally,
- 16:44Speaker 1: what happens is you get a couple of juris that
- 16:45Speaker 1: do a couple of interviews following and when that happens.
- 16:49Speaker 1: One of the main questions that I would love to
- 16:51Speaker 1: hear and answer on is when you have factors like that, like, okay,
- 16:54Speaker 1: these are the norms then at that time, even if
- 16:57Speaker 1: they led to all of this horrible behavior, this is
- 17:00Speaker 1: what was accepted. But these are the facts of how
- 17:02Speaker 1: things were horrible, how much ways on. These are the
- 17:05Speaker 1: facts of what was horribly done to this person versus
- 17:08Speaker 1: what wasn't environment and culture that allowed it to happen.
- 17:11Speaker 1: Because basically, what Mia talked a lot about was people
- 17:14Speaker 1: being very complicit head to hr you know, overlooking things
- 17:20Speaker 1: when people would speak up. She allected to there was
- 17:22Speaker 1: a girl named Kayla, and this girl named Kayla, Mia said, look,
- 17:25Speaker 1: there was one time where Deontay Nash, who was Cassie's
- 17:27Speaker 1: first friend and stylist, Mia and Cassie because she says,
- 17:31Speaker 1: she got really close with Cassie, because she eventually became
- 17:35Speaker 1: the person that would have to go and like make
- 17:37Speaker 1: sure Cassie was okay when you know, when things would happen.
- 17:41Speaker 1: She alleged that like when you know Cassie would beat
- 17:43Speaker 1: up and put up in these hotels, she would stay
- 17:45Speaker 1: with Cassie, make sure Cassie was okay. They became really
- 17:46Speaker 1: really close.
- 17:48Speaker 2: But there was a girl named Kayla who when Deontae
- 17:54Speaker 2: Diddy and.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Mia and Cassie all got into a physical altercation, Allegedly,
- 17:59Speaker 1: Diddy came one this was like a Sunday, I remember.
- 18:02Speaker 1: Cassie tests a fine about this. She said, it was
- 18:03Speaker 1: like a Sunday that went out like day party and
- 18:06Speaker 1: West Hollywood type vibes. And then they went back to
- 18:08Speaker 1: Cassie's home and she alleges that she was there packing,
- 18:11Speaker 1: and while she was there packing, she fell asleep, and
- 18:15Speaker 1: she alleges that Didd he was really upset that she
- 18:17Speaker 1: fell asleep, and that this was something that happened all
- 18:18Speaker 1: the time, like whenever she would fall asleep not be
- 18:20Speaker 1: entwer her phones. She alleged that did he would show up,
- 18:22Speaker 1: he would be upset, or he would send security or
- 18:24Speaker 1: like you know that type of thing. So Mia alleges,
- 18:27Speaker 1: did he shows up? When did he shows up? He's
- 18:30Speaker 1: pissed off. She alleges that then they get into a
- 18:32Speaker 1: physical altercation because he's allegedly beating the hell out of
- 18:36Speaker 1: Cassie to the point where he threw Cassie across the
- 18:39Speaker 1: room her head hit her bed and he Mia alleges
- 18:42Speaker 1: her head split open, and did he then instantly snapped
- 18:45Speaker 1: into like protecting mode, like, YO, call Kayla. Have Cala
- 18:48Speaker 1: called the doctor, say that Cassie was drunk, you know
- 18:51Speaker 1: it fell on her bed, and that she needs to
- 18:53Speaker 1: see him asap. So she alleges that all these things happened.
- 18:56Speaker 1: Right then, she alleges that that same Kayla person. Right
- 18:59Speaker 1: so now cal is aware of what's going on, she
- 19:01Speaker 1: knows what's happening. She's calling her doctors, she alleges. Mia
- 19:04Speaker 1: alleges that Kayla then went to HR and was like, Yo,
- 19:09Speaker 1: this is what's happening. It's not okay. Did he allegedly
- 19:14Speaker 1: put his hands on Cassie. Y'all need to do something.
- 19:17Speaker 1: Mia says that there was a whole executive level phone
- 19:20Speaker 1: call of like people in HR, people in leadership, all
- 19:24Speaker 1: of these people who got on the phone and had
- 19:28Speaker 1: a conversation about what she knew, what she didn't know.
- 19:31Speaker 1: And after that, Kayla was going and they were having
- 19:34Speaker 1: a conversation with me about how to deal with Kayla
- 19:36Speaker 1: now that she had alleged these things. And I'm like,
- 19:38Speaker 1: that's insane because at the same instance, Mia also alleged
- 19:41Speaker 1: that there was an incident with Kayla and her that
- 19:43Speaker 1: did He set to her like, yo, look because we
- 19:45Speaker 1: let her go.
- 19:46Speaker 2: She's like she's a legend like that.
- 19:48Speaker 1: Diddy came to her and said, look, because we let
- 19:49Speaker 1: Kayla go, because Kayla saw what she saw. If she
- 19:53Speaker 1: filed a lawsuit, you're gonna have to testify, and if
- 19:55Speaker 1: you have to testify, here's what you should say. And
- 19:58Speaker 1: Diddy told her to allegedly did Het told her to
- 20:00Speaker 1: bring up the incident that happened between the two where
- 20:02Speaker 1: Kayla got a little bit drunk at work.
- 20:04Speaker 2: She got aggressive, she put her hands on me.
- 20:06Speaker 1: It was a whole thing, right, And then the prosecution
- 20:10Speaker 1: acts like, well, was Kayla fired when she put her
- 20:13Speaker 1: hands on you and me?
- 20:14Speaker 2: It was like, no, she wasn't fired.
- 20:17Speaker 1: She just we were made to like go isolate together
- 20:21Speaker 1: and figure it out. But the minute that she complained
- 20:23Speaker 1: about Cassie and Diddy in the alleged physical abuse that
- 20:25Speaker 1: was happening, right, she gets fired.
- 20:28Speaker 2: So me and was building this whole you.
- 20:30Speaker 1: Know, conversation and filling in more color to the narrative
- 20:33Speaker 1: of like when you were in this thing, this big
- 20:36Speaker 1: thing that they that they're alleging is happening with Diddy right.
- 20:41Speaker 1: There is no I'm getting out, There is no I'm
- 20:44Speaker 1: just walking away. There is no I'm gonna just go
- 20:47Speaker 1: tell HR or I'm gonna call the police, because they
- 20:50Speaker 1: unless there's.
- 20:50Speaker 2: No real consequences.
- 20:51Speaker 1: Even when she talked about they asked about runners with
- 20:54Speaker 1: the police. When she talked about the three times she
- 20:55Speaker 1: was sexually assaulted, she says that she never made a
- 20:58Speaker 1: sexual advance on Diddy.
- 21:00Speaker 2: She alleges that, uh, you know.
- 21:03Speaker 1: DH, there have been many times where she would work
- 21:05Speaker 1: with Diddy in close intimate settings, like in his apartments,
- 21:08Speaker 1: in hotel rooms while he's in the bathroom, things of
- 21:11Speaker 1: that nature, and nothing had ever happened. So she says
- 21:13Speaker 1: she was really confused when the you know, these instances
- 21:17Speaker 1: went down.
- 21:18Speaker 2: The first time, she alleged she was staying at his
- 21:20Speaker 2: house cause she was staying at homes a lot because
- 21:22Speaker 2: her job was so demanding.
- 21:23Speaker 1: Her job was his life. So she says that she
- 21:25Speaker 1: was at one of his homes and while at one
- 21:28Speaker 1: of his homes, she would sleep on a bunk bed,
- 21:30Speaker 1: and he came into the bed allegedly and like forced
- 21:33Speaker 1: himself on her, and they there was intercourse. The second time,
- 21:36Speaker 1: she alleges she was in a closet packing for him
- 21:40Speaker 1: and he came into the closet and.
- 21:42Speaker 2: Forced her to give him head.
- 21:44Speaker 1: The third time, she alleges they were on a jet
- 21:47Speaker 1: and there's like a back area where he would stay
- 21:50Speaker 1: where Diddy would stay on the jet, like when he
- 21:52Speaker 1: was going to sleep, and there's a bathroom, but it's
- 21:54Speaker 1: like kind of in that back area, and she says
- 21:56Speaker 1: that she was going to the bathroom and he forced
- 21:58Speaker 1: himself in the bathroom Allegedly. She says she couldn't remember
- 22:01Speaker 1: the details of what happened after he forced some stuff
- 22:03Speaker 1: into the bathroom, and she said that there are many
- 22:05Speaker 1: other times, but she couldn't remember everything. And then they
- 22:10Speaker 1: asked her, like, well, why didn't you just call the cops.
- 22:14Speaker 1: Why didn't you tell somebody? Why didn't you leave all
- 22:16Speaker 1: the questions that you think as these things are being alleged,
- 22:20Speaker 1: And she's like and then they asked her, you know,
- 22:22Speaker 1: she's like, why would I call? Like you don't call
- 22:24Speaker 1: the police, And I'm like, well, what was your running
- 22:26Speaker 1: with Shawn Combs and the police, And she said one
- 22:29Speaker 1: time she was laid the work she was speeding, so
- 22:30Speaker 1: the police pulled her over, and she was mad that
- 22:32Speaker 1: Diddy was going to be so pissed off at her
- 22:33Speaker 1: for being.
- 22:34Speaker 2: Laid she was gonna get in a lot of trouble.
- 22:36Speaker 1: So she alleges that she told the cop like, Yo,
- 22:38Speaker 1: this is gonna sound crazy, but Seawan Colmbs is my boss.
- 22:40Speaker 1: I'm rushing because I can't be late. The cop didn't
- 22:43Speaker 1: believe her, so she called Diddy. She says when she
- 22:46Speaker 1: called Diddy put Ditty on the phone. She lets the
- 22:48Speaker 1: cop fanned out so bad and she was like, go
- 22:51Speaker 1: with no ticket on nothing. And then she talked about
- 22:53Speaker 1: another time where they allegedly got pulled over. She said
- 22:56Speaker 1: it was her Diddy in the car and in the
- 22:58Speaker 1: truck sold.
- 22:59Speaker 2: Other people in the car too.
- 23:01Speaker 1: She said they were either like speeding allegedly or like
- 23:03Speaker 1: driving on the side blind. There were not something they
- 23:04Speaker 1: weren't supposed to be doing in the car traffic wise, they
- 23:07Speaker 1: get pulled over. When they get pulled over, the cops
- 23:11Speaker 1: come up to the car, and she says they ran
- 23:12Speaker 1: down aggressively. She alleged to the cops were really aggressive,
- 23:15Speaker 1: but the minute they saw Diddy in the car, all
- 23:17Speaker 1: of that just changed. So she's like, you know, you
- 23:20Speaker 1: get in this system of things where it's like, who
- 23:22Speaker 1: are you going to tell? She honestly said, And this
- 23:25Speaker 1: was the first person that I heard talk about this, well,
- 23:27Speaker 1: my first, because Cassie also said that she was close
- 23:29Speaker 1: with Dee Rock and his wife. But Mia said that
- 23:31Speaker 1: her and d Rock got really closed, that de Rock
- 23:32Speaker 1: was like a brother to her because he was the
- 23:35Speaker 1: only person she could go to about the things that
- 23:37Speaker 1: she was witnessing and experiencing when it came to Diddy.
- 23:40Speaker 1: And yet they just they did the prosecution yesterday. The
- 23:42Speaker 1: government yesterday did a job of establishing here's what the
- 23:47Speaker 1: re establishing.
- 23:48Speaker 2: Because they've done it.
- 23:48Speaker 1: And that's why I'm like, do we need the prosecution
- 23:50Speaker 1: the government to go anymore. They've done so much drilling,
- 23:53Speaker 1: drilling and dribbling drilling.
- 23:54Speaker 2: I think we got it. We get it.
- 23:57Speaker 1: I am interested. At first, I was saying, like, do
- 23:59Speaker 1: we even need to finish court? But honestly, I am
- 24:01Speaker 1: interested in seeing the defense present their case, like bring
- 24:05Speaker 1: whatever witnesses and things of that nature, because right now
- 24:08Speaker 1: I feel like that has to be strong in order
- 24:11Speaker 1: for that that whole of that whole reasonable doubt thing
- 24:15Speaker 1: to open back up, because right now it's like all
- 24:19Speaker 1: the pieces to the puzzle are there, honestly, but I
- 24:21Speaker 1: am interested to see that.
- 24:22Speaker 2: And yesterday in court, Diddy's.
- 24:23Speaker 1: Team made it clear to the judge that even though
- 24:26Speaker 1: the government may rest their case sooner than they planned,
- 24:30Speaker 1: Diddy's team is not doing that. Diddy team is not gonna,
- 24:32Speaker 1: you know, rest sooner. They're gonna, you know, go all
- 24:34Speaker 1: the way unto the end date because they want as
- 24:36Speaker 1: much time as they can to present their case as
- 24:38Speaker 1: they should. I mean, the man is fighting for his
- 24:39Speaker 1: life literally, so as they should. But I think that's
- 24:42Speaker 1: gonna be the only thing to turn it around, Like
- 24:44Speaker 1: when you got a person understand saying, yo, we weren't
- 24:47Speaker 1: Cassie wasn't even allowed to go outside and enjoy herself,
- 24:50Speaker 1: sometimes without his sometimes allegedly without his permission at all.
- 24:54Speaker 1: She talks about her and Cassie having to sneak allegedly
- 24:57Speaker 1: to this Prince party like they were in high school,
- 25:00Speaker 1: and when they got there, Diddy popped up at the party,
- 25:02Speaker 1: not looking for them, but he just happened to come
- 25:04Speaker 1: through the party, came through the party, saw them. She
- 25:07Speaker 1: alleged he chased them out of the party, she ran
- 25:10Speaker 1: and hit in the bush Miya. She alleges Diddy got
- 25:12Speaker 1: the Cassie, had Cassie on the ground, was about to
- 25:15Speaker 1: go in on her right, about to beat her up,
- 25:17Speaker 1: and then she alleged that Prince of Security came and
- 25:19Speaker 1: stopped it. The Diddy seam has some work cut out
- 25:21Speaker 1: for them, But I'm interested to see it. Like, I'm
- 25:23Speaker 1: very interested to see what the what the fight back
- 25:26Speaker 1: is because I feel like in the beginning of this
- 25:28Speaker 1: they were doing so good at making you think, oh wait,
- 25:33Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't the way that it's been presented.
- 25:36Speaker 2: Now I don't feel like that everything has changed.
- 25:39Speaker 1: So going back in court today, I won't be back
- 25:41Speaker 1: in court today but because I have other work obligations,
- 25:44Speaker 1: but court goes back up again today. They're gonna end
- 25:49Speaker 1: this is now week three. They're gonna end week three today.
- 25:51Speaker 1: They're gonna finish out. They're gonna do a cross examination
- 25:54Speaker 1: of the personal assistant who goes by the name Mia.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Yeah, so we'll see what happens at this point. Y'all,
- 26:02Speaker 2: y'all don't heard how I felt. I want to hear
