  Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Breaking News tonight, Sean Puffy Combs aka Diddy aka p Diddy.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: We saw the video of.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: You brutally beating and kicking and dragging Cassie and now
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: you apologize. Now, apology not accepted. I'll see you in court.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Good evening. I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thank
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you for being with us.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: It's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: your life. Sometimes you gotta do that. I was, I mean,
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I had rob bottom, but I make no excuses. My
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take responsibility for
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: my ashes in that video. I'm so sorry, but I'm
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: committed to be a better managent every day. I'm not
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: asking for forgiveness. I'm truly sorry.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: But he looks like he's reading to me all that
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, technical legal term b S. He's not sorry
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: he did it. He's sorry he got caught. Have you
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: seen the video now? How is it at that time
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: no charges were filed, and you know hotel security saw
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the whole thing.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Do you believe his apology?
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Is it not a day late and a dollar short? Well,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: apparently other people agree with me.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Listen.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: According to Ernest to Owens, Sean Ditty Combs is only
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: apologizing because he got caught. Owens calls Comb's apology another
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: pathetic move, pointing out that Combs does not acknowledge Cassie
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Ventura by name or directly apologize to her. Combs has
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: previously denied Ventura's allegations repeatedly, but this latest cought in
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: the Act video has changed his tune. Owen says it
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: is hard to take anything Diddy says seriously following several
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: prior written attacks on his accusers.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Now what written attacks are we talking about? I got
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: to tell you something.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: There are a lot of criminal defense attorneys out there.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: This one will win your case. Ben Broffman. That's where
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: you go when there's nowhere to go, Ben Broffman. He's
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: representing Sean Combe's aka Ditty.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Listen.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Cassie Ventura's lawsuit against Ditty includes a very specific event
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: from March of twenty sixteen, where Ventura alleges that Didty
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: became extremely intoxicated in hunch Ventura in the feace, giving
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: her a black eye. Did He's lawyer, Ben Braffman tells
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: people in a statement that comes vehemently denies these offensive
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: and outrageous allegations and alleges that Ventura is filing the
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: lawsuit after first demanding thirty million dollars or she would
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: write a book about their relationship. Brafman says Ventura is
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: seeking a payday.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Now, Remember the lawyer is the mouthpiece for the defendant.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: The lawyer doesn't say anything that the defendant doesn't want said.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: So when you hear Brafman saying, oh.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Cassie Ventirozes, she just wants money, nothing happened to her,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: this is bs.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: No, We've seen the video and all of his denying
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and claiming, and remember this is important. That's what he
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: says about all the women that are claiming he abused them,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: they all want a payday. I don't believe that anymore.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: With me an all star panel to make sense of
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: what we know right now now, But for straight out
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: to Keela Brantley, investigative reporter dailymail dot Com on the
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: case from the beginning. You know, I think this is
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: just the beginning, Kila, But bring me up to date
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: as of right now.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, Nancy, And as you said, Ditty's only apologizing right
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: now because he got caught. Everyone sees right through that apology,
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: including Cassie Ventura, who released a statement via her lawyer
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: who called Ditty's apology pathetic. Essentially, he's saying that he's
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: only our Cassie, saying that he's only compelled to speak
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: out now because of this damning evidence. And as you
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: very well may know that abusers, it's not just an
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: isolated incident. We can assume that this has happened before.
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: Cassie did speak about this exact incident back in her
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: lawsuit from last fall. She said that there was an
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: incident at a hotel where he came into the hallway
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: abused her, and that Diddy allegedly paid fifty thousand dollars
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: to the hotel to get the video and for it
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: to never be released. Obviously, now we know CNN has
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: now had that video released it to the world, which
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: now compelled Diddy to apologize.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Keilla Brantley, I think you're exactly correct.
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: Listen, Cassie Ventura escaped Sean Combs by getting on the
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: elevator at the Intercontinental Hotel, leaving the hotel and going
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: to her own apartment. At her residence, she fears Combs
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: will be even angrier at her for running away, so
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: Ventura returns to the hotel intent on apologizing to Combs.
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: As she returns, hotel security staff urged her to get
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: back in the cab and go home. They've seen the
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: security footage of Comb's beating Ventura and throwing glass vases
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: at her in the hotel hallway. In her lawsuit against Combs,
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: she claims he pays the hotel fifty thousand dollars for
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: footage of the hallway assault, again.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Joining me an all star panel.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: In addition to Kiala Brantley from dailymail dot com, straight
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: out to Sam d'ordiullian, sex assault lawyer and former LA
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: County six crimes felony prosecutor, founder of the Doordulian Law Group, Sam,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: thank you for being with us. You know, before video
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: was pervasive, no matter where you go, there's a camera
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: on you. Very Typically the defense would say you can't
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: prove that.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Now we have a video.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: So the fallback is, let's say the video was doctored,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the video was tampered with, or I'm sorry. I'm a
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: different man now. I'm praying for forgiveness. I'm praying to
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: be a better man.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I got counseling.
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: Really, you know what's disgusting, Nancy, is that's what you
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: hear all the time, is that I'm sorry. But why
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: did he have to go and attack the victim in
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: this particular case. If he truly took responsibility for what
• 6:42
  Speaker 7: he did, if he truly was disgusted as he claimed
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: in his video his supposed apology, then why did he
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: call her a liar to in the public. Why did
• 6:53
  Speaker 7: he say she's just looking for a payday? And only
• 6:56
  Speaker 7: when he got caught Now, all of a sudden, he's.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Sorry, joining me out of FLOORA and a high profile
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: private investigator, former Federal Task Force, US Department of Justice,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: also with the DEA joining me, Robert Crispin from Crispin
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Special Investigations. Robert, I'm sure you having dealt with this
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: same scenario many many times as a PI and with
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the Feds. People pay off hotel staff all the time.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: And right now the word we're getting from inside the
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Diddy camp is that they are fast and furious trying
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: to make sure other video surveillance will not emerge. What
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: about it, Crispin? How easy is that to do?
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: Well?
• 7:42
  Speaker 9: You know, listen, money talks and this is probably not
• 7:45
  Speaker 9: the first time it's happened in his camp. And if
• 7:47
  Speaker 9: you go back, there's the allegations of they paid fifty
• 7:49
  Speaker 9: thousand dollars for the hotel security to get that video
• 7:52
  Speaker 9: out there in La So I wouldn't doubt that their
• 7:55
  Speaker 9: fast and fury is going after ever singing one of
• 7:58
  Speaker 9: these allegations, and ever singing one of these victim that
• 8:00
  Speaker 9: they know of their back covering their tracks. It's an
• 8:04
  Speaker 9: old trick. It's money talks, and people like money. So
• 8:08
  Speaker 9: there's a lot of people that do some bad things
• 8:11
  Speaker 9: to cover some bad things.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: Sadly enough, so you think it's relatively easy to pay
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: off hotel security or really any security get rid of surveillance.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: It gets quote taped over, it gets lost, nobody can
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: find it. It happens over and over and over again.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: But the kicker is they are not at a hotel
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: security office. They are not under the same duty as
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: officers of the court.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: It's their private video.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: They want to tape over it, they can unless somehow
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: they realize they're hiding evidence. And why would they tape
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: over it if they didn't know they were doing it
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: for a nefarious reason.
• 8:58
  Speaker 9: Crispin it's tampering with cart launch, it's tampering with evidence.
• 9:02
  Speaker 9: And anybody who gets involved in this case moving forward
• 9:05
  Speaker 9: who already has knowledge, I mean, how do you not
• 9:08
  Speaker 9: have knowledge of this case? And you find a prosecutor
• 9:11
  Speaker 9: or law enforcement or an agent who can prove through
• 9:14
  Speaker 9: text messages or undercover surrounances or anything, that you paid
• 9:18
  Speaker 9: somebody off to get a video, you're catching an obstruction
• 9:21
  Speaker 9: charge and you're doing a and.
• 9:23
  Speaker 10: You're also catching a tampering with evidence charge.
• 9:26
  Speaker 9: Now, back in twenty sixteen when they got that video,
• 9:29
  Speaker 9: none of this probably got reported yet that's why they
• 9:32
  Speaker 9: work very fast.
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: And they threw fifty thousand dollars at these people to get.
• 9:36
  Speaker 9: That video, thinking it's not out there, thinking that nobody
• 9:38
  Speaker 9: kept their own copy, and everybody keeps a copy of
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: their own videos.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: Trust me to you, Kila Brantley joining US investigative reporter
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: dailymail dot com. Fifty grand that's like ten dollars to me.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: It's like nothing to Combs, I mean, what is his
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: net worth?
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: Well, as Cassie said in the lawsuit that this the
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: example of paying fifty thousand dollars was absolutely nothing to him,
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: and it just shows his power and his influence now
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: reportedly did he's a billionaire and he has so many
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: different lines. He has Sean John, he has Revolt, and
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: not only is he a music mogul, he's a fashion
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: mogul and has been a legend in this industry. So
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: his net worth is estimated around a billion dollars. Now
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: with all these legal blows, who knows how much it's
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: going to go down to Well.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: As we know right now, his streaming has plummeted after
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: this video emerges.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Joining us doctor John Delatory, licensed psychologist mediator who specializes
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: in forensic psychology. Doctor Delatory, thank you for being with us,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Doctor Delatory. I'd like you to look at your screen
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: with me as we analyze Sean Comes aka Diddy's apology.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Listen.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I'm so sorry, but I'm committed to be a better
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: managin every day. I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm truly sorry.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: It's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: your life. Sometimes you gotta do that. I was, I mean,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: I hit rock bottom, but I make no excuses. My
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: for my actions in that video.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: M hmm. Now you're the expert, of course, doted elatory,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: but as a lay person or just a trial lawyer,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: this is what I observe. I'm so sorry, and he
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: looks away. That's a hallmark characteristic.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Of a liar.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: They cannot look you in the face and just say, look,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. He never mentions Cassie's name, Cassie Ventura. And
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: you know a few days after that, she was walking
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: the runway with a red carpet covered in bruises what
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: nobody noticed.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: But I'm sorry to who sorry for what? He won't
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: say it. He will not say it.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: And that was the number one rule when I would
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: take a guilty plea in court. First of all, I'd
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: swear the defendant end on the Bible or whatever they
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: wanted to swear.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: On, and they would have to admit what they did.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: And if they couldn't say it, I would give them
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: a fair and accurate rendition of the facts of what
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: they did, and then say do.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: You plead guilty? Did you do it or not?
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: And if they would not admit to what they did,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: to hay with it, get ready, get in line for
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: a jury. I'm happy to give you exactly what you deserve.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: So he never says what he's sorry for. He never
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: says the name Cassie Ventura or kim Porter or any
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: of the other women that claim he abused them. He says,
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I promise, I'm going to be I'm going to be
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: a better man. Really, since when, Because that beating was
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen, and since then there have been a
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: string of denials where he actually attacks.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: The victims, saying they are just out for money.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: They ought to sue him for that for defamation, but
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: that's a whole other can of worms. I'm going to
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: be a better man when when the video comes out,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: he wants that he is in a dark place. What
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: about the women that he has beaten and brutalized and
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: from what we've been told, much much more sex abused. Now,
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: we invited Diddy on today, by the way, and we
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: didn't hear back answer up to these questions. He talks
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: about hitting rock bottom, but yet he never did anything
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: to make amends. Isn't that one of the rules of
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: the ten step programs? You have to acknowledge what you
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: did and go and apologize and then make it right.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not seeing any of that in this BS fake apology.
• 14:27
  Speaker 11: Now, and let me tell you what I'm seeing right
• 14:29
  Speaker 11: as someone who treats sex offenders, what I'm seeing is
• 14:32
  Speaker 11: what we call transitory guilt and reconstitution. What that means
• 14:36
  Speaker 11: is that in the moment, the person can kind of
• 14:39
  Speaker 11: feel guilty, but they're not actually feeling that empathy associated
• 14:43
  Speaker 11: with having a victim, and the reconstitution is actually about
• 14:47
  Speaker 11: building yourself in a position that the rest of the
• 14:50
  Speaker 11: public won't believe anything that other victims say. So it's
• 14:55
  Speaker 11: putting you back in a position where people believe that
• 14:58
  Speaker 11: you're not capable of doing these kinds of behaviors anymore.
• 15:02
  Speaker 11: And you see that a lot right under this video.
• 15:05
  Speaker 11: There are a lot of comments of people, you know,
• 15:07
  Speaker 11: in supportive Diddy. The issue isn't that he's not, you know,
• 15:11
  Speaker 11: saying sorry to the victims. The issue is that he's
• 15:14
  Speaker 11: What he's saying sorry too, is to all of the followers,
• 15:18
  Speaker 11: the people that he can gather around him, and that
• 15:21
  Speaker 11: that will be helpful in insulating him from other attacks
• 15:24
  Speaker 11: that are going to be coming from him. This is
• 15:26
  Speaker 11: still part of the offense cycle. This is still stuff
• 15:30
  Speaker 11: that an offender does in order to protect their own
• 15:33
  Speaker 11: ego integrity. All of this is just a play. It's
• 15:36
  Speaker 11: a mask that the that the offender wears in order
• 15:39
  Speaker 11: to prevent the actual feelings. Because if he did feel
• 15:42
  Speaker 11: any of these things, he would have stood up in court.
• 15:45
  Speaker 11: He would have pled guilty. He would have accepted the
• 15:47
  Speaker 11: punishment that he would have given that they were going
• 15:49
  Speaker 11: to give him. He would have wanted the most punishment, right,
• 15:52
  Speaker 11: those are the kinds of things that someone who actually
• 15:55
  Speaker 11: feels guilty does. They don't go around claiming that all
• 15:59
  Speaker 11: of this is a lie when they know video is
• 16:01
  Speaker 11: out there and they're certainly not going to do any
• 16:03
  Speaker 11: of these kinds of videos where they're not actually saying
• 16:07
  Speaker 11: sorry to the victims that have suffered at his hand.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Joining me right now in addition to an all star
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: panel is Shannon Henry, president and founder of SAS, which
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: is Surviving Assault Standing Strong. Shannon, thank you for being
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: with us. It's amazing to me that nobody noticed or
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: commented upon Cassie v Interira covered in bruises following the
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: attack we just witnessed.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: But that happens every day, doesn't it, Shannon.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Where battered women go to work, they go to the
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: grocery store, their friends see them, and unless they're wearing
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: clothes from neck to wrist to ankle, you see the bruises,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: you see the black eye. I mean, how easy is it, apparently,
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: for everyone to ignore.
• 17:00
  Speaker 12: Very easy, Nancy, for everyone to ignore it. They're hiding
• 17:04
  Speaker 12: in plain sight, and unless you know the signs to
• 17:07
  Speaker 12: look for, you may not notice it. It's why we
• 17:10
  Speaker 12: train people in hospitals and attorneys and law enforcement to
• 17:15
  Speaker 12: see it and recognize it and be able to identify
• 17:17
  Speaker 12: it quickly and get them the support they need. I
• 17:21
  Speaker 12: do want to mention and go back to doctor Delatory
• 17:23
  Speaker 12: and what he said, because I think it was so wise.
• 17:27
  Speaker 12: I also want to say, you can hit rock bottom,
• 17:31
  Speaker 12: you can be an alcoholic. If Diddy is watching this tonight,
• 17:34
  Speaker 12: you can do all of those things without being an abuser,
• 17:37
  Speaker 12: without being a trafficker. Those things can be done. So
• 17:41
  Speaker 12: while you know his apology is empty to everyone watching,
• 17:45
  Speaker 12: I hope he understands too that those things don't constitute
• 17:48
  Speaker 12: the behavior we see.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Let me and Shannon Henry, President founder of Surviving Assault,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Standing Strong. She has dealt with so many battered women,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: as have I. Typically, Shannon, I would see them when
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: the attacks had gotten to a felony level, if they
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: were still alive.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: And I will never forget. I was a rookie da
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: in a courtroom and.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: A woman and her partner, her husband, came in. He
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: was dragging along behind her, looking guilty.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: She had on a hip.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Cast from the hip all the way down to the ankle.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: She could hardly walk.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: A hard cast, you know, the white cement looking casts
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: on crutches.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Trying to move forward.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: It was the court date for him, and she wanted
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: to drop charges, and he was right behind her her.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: She wants to drop charges.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Of course I did not drop them, and I didn't
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: blame her. I said, she wants to drop.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Them a hole, but I'm not going to drop them.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: A lot of people are curious as to why casts,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: even after this horrific beating, then stayed in the room.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: And I can tell you that because she's going to
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: beat her again if she tried to least, she's sneaking
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: out without shoes on.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: You know that when you.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Sneak out of a room without putting your shoes on
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: because you don't want to make it sound. She was
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: doing that and then appeared on the red carpet. This
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: video has just emerged from hotel security. I bet Combs
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: thought it would never see the light of day. That
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: video surveillance has emerged. CNN got a hold of it
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: and now the cat is out of the bag. So
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: thank you to our friends at CNN. Shannon Henry, what
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: do you make of it?
• 19:40
  Speaker 12: Well, there's lots of things that I see in that
• 19:43
  Speaker 12: number one. He sees her as an object. He throws
• 19:46
  Speaker 12: her around like an object, he kicks her like an object.
• 19:49
  Speaker 12: That's what he sees her as. But what we see
• 19:52
  Speaker 12: in Cassie is that she has learned to be compliant.
• 19:56
  Speaker 12: When you watch her fall to the ground, she doesn't
• 19:59
  Speaker 12: scramble to get up. She understands that fighting back could
• 20:02
  Speaker 12: incite more danger. In this level of danger, the wrong
• 20:07
  Speaker 12: kick to the wrong area of her body could have
• 20:09
  Speaker 12: killed her. He didn't care. He was in control. He
• 20:12
  Speaker 12: took her things, and he treated her like an object.
• 20:16
  Speaker 12: And that's what we see.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Many people have questioned, and having worked at the Better
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Women's Center, I guess a total of nine years at night,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of people wonder, well, why did she stay
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: with him? If you beat her like that number one?
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: It's not if he did beat her like that. She
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: did not instigate that that in no way with self
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: defense on his part. There are many reasons why she
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: stayed with him, obviously the threat of more physical violence,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: But could you elaborate, Shannon Henry, Well, there's.
• 20:49
  Speaker 12: Several reasons why women stay, you know, we can look
• 20:53
  Speaker 12: at a myriad of reasons, from financial reasons, to children,
• 20:57
  Speaker 12: to the fact that they I love them.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Just because his.
• 21:02
  Speaker 12: Definition of love and her definition of love are two
• 21:05
  Speaker 12: totally different things doesn't mean that she doesn't have sincere
• 21:09
  Speaker 12: feelings for him. Now, what we see in the video
• 21:12
  Speaker 12: when she does come back, she was more scared of
• 21:15
  Speaker 12: not going back than she was about, you know, making
• 21:20
  Speaker 12: sure that she was safe.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Shannon, he could ruin her. He could ruin her, and
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: she have known her in the industry. She is an
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: artist herself. She has released one album after the next,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: after the next, after the next.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Next, successfully, Long Way to Go, that was one of
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: her originals. She's got so many kasivn Tiro is a
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: star in her own right, and Diddy could have destroyed
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: that for her.
• 21:47
  Speaker 12: That's right, And when you look at this degree of
• 21:50
  Speaker 12: violence in this incident, it's hard for people to wrap
• 21:53
  Speaker 12: their mind around why somebody would stay. But for her,
• 21:57
  Speaker 12: it's either endure him or wait to be high it
• 22:00
  Speaker 12: down and destroyed. And that is unendurable. And so it's
• 22:04
  Speaker 12: a matter of keeping your friends close and your enemies closer.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: Someone on the inside with Sean Diddy Comb's camp is
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: telling The Daily Mail the music mogul is in crisis mode,
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: terrified that more videos of his hidden behavior could become public.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: The insider says that Combe's team is also concerned about
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: footage that may have been recorded at recording studios. The
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: insider also suggests that CNN may be in discussions with
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: others who have damaging videos, suggesting there are other videos
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: that people are holding in a vault right row.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Joining me right now is high profile entertainment lawyer Darryl Cohen,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: former felony prosecutor, now name partner with Cohen, Cooper, E
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: step and Allen. Darryl, thank you for joining us on
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: your way to court. I really appreciate that.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: But Darryl, what could.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Be worse for him right now than to give an
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: appollo jay which admits you quote did it, but to
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: give a half hearted fake apology. Wait, Darryl, I don't
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: know if you've seen it or heard it, but listen
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: to this.
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: I'm so sorry, but I'm committed to be a better
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: man usin every day. I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: truly sorry. It's so difficult to reflect on the darkest
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: times in your life.
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: Sometimes you gotta do that.
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: I was fucked up.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: I mean I had robbed bottom, but I make no excuses.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: responsibility for my ashes in that video.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Really, because that bating on Cassie Venturor happened in twenty sixteen,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: and since that time, Darryl Cohen, he and his lawyer
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: of Benjamin Broffman, who I actually respect in the courtroom,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: have actually denied anything ever happened and claimed the Cassie
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Ventira and many other female victims are just quote out
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: for a payday. He is making himself the victim. He's
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: in a quote dark place. He's so sorry, rock Bottom.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Those are all empty words because he hasn't done a
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: damn thing to make up somehow, at least try to
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: make up for what he did. As a matter of fact,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: he reportedly has done the same thing over and over
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: and over that by far, ain't his first time at
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: the rodeo Cohen.
• 24:46
  Speaker 13: So, Nancy, let's just convict him without a trial, without
• 24:49
  Speaker 13: a jury, without an indictment, without charges. Let's just say
• 24:53
  Speaker 13: did he he's the bad guy. Look, he has done
• 24:57
  Speaker 13: some stupid, bad things, but he has owned up to it.
• 25:01
  Speaker 8: Finally. It took a long time, but he's now owned
• 25:04
  Speaker 8: up to it.
• 25:05
  Speaker 13: And he said, I was not a victim of what
• 25:08
  Speaker 13: happened here. I'm a victim of myself. And for that,
• 25:12
  Speaker 13: I am asking for you to forgive me, give me
• 25:16
  Speaker 13: an opportunity to be who I really am.
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: And then, so we.
• 25:20
  Speaker 13: Also know that the music business, the music business is
• 25:24
  Speaker 13: frought with problems.
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: It's not good. It's just music.
• 25:29
  Speaker 13: So I am not happy with the video, obviously, and
• 25:33
  Speaker 13: if you are, you're crazy. But I am happy with
• 25:36
  Speaker 13: the fact that he has said I was wrong. I
• 25:39
  Speaker 13: am now going to be a better person. And you
• 25:43
  Speaker 13: can bet on it.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: You can bank it, really you think you can bank it,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: because Benjamin Brafman is not going to let his client
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: admit to anything else. And the only reason Diddy aka
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Shawn comes issue that groveling and very fast apology is
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: because the video came out. He's caught red handed. And wait,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: so should I believe you or my lie in eyes? Okay,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: because what you said did not happen in that video.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: He hasn't owned up to everything he did. And also
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: you seem to be blaming the music business. Hey, I
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: haven't seen Dolly Parton being dragging somebody.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Up and down the hallways of a hotel.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen her paying out millions of dollars of settlements.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen Morgan Wallen out paying off beating victims.
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, I can go on and on with this
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: star and that star. Uh huh, why because.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: They didn't do that? He did? He did, And you're
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: trying to blame the music industry.
• 26:48
  Speaker 13: No, I'm not trying to blame the music industry. I'm
• 26:51
  Speaker 13: trying to explain it away as part of unfortunately what
• 26:56
  Speaker 13: happens in that industry, and it's being cleaned up. But
• 26:59
  Speaker 13: it's been low to be cleaned up. And he did
• 27:02
  Speaker 13: give a heartfelt apology. No, he didn't say.
• 27:06
  Speaker 8: I did this. I did that. I just was I
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: was wrong. I was wrong, and I am I take harship.
• 27:14
  Speaker 13: He said it's on me. He didn't blame anyone else.
• 27:17
  Speaker 13: He said, it's on me. I did it. I am sorry,
• 27:21
  Speaker 13: and yes, Nancy, he apologized after the video came out.
• 27:24
  Speaker 13: Can you imagine him apologizing in advance. No, you don't
• 27:28
  Speaker 13: do that.
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: You don't give something that.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: If you do something wrong, why don't you apologize.
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: You do want your call because I'm.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: Gonna apologize in advance for the dream job I'm about
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: to do on you, because it's.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Timing, timing, timing.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Dear Old Cohen, you were a prosecutor in the same.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Office as I. I saw you try cases. I know
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: that you know this is all theater.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: That apology came out within what twenty four hours after.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: The video came out.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: You actually believe in coincidences, dearal Cohen, because I have
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: heard you myself tell a jury there is no such
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: thing as coincidences in criminal law.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: But now tonight you have a different story.
• 28:18
  Speaker 13: Amazing, not a different story, Nancy. It's not a coincidence
• 28:22
  Speaker 13: the video came out. And oh, by the way, that
• 28:24
  Speaker 13: was eight years ago. So someone is after Ditty for
• 28:28
  Speaker 13: whatever reason. As soon as he came out instantly, within
• 28:32
  Speaker 13: twenty four hours, he explained his actions as being wrong.
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: I have no defense for it.
• 28:38
  Speaker 13: I'm sorry I did it, and I'm going to be
• 28:40
  Speaker 13: a better person.
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: It was my darkest day and let's just see, I'm.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: So happy because now you're setting somebody's out to get Diddy.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: He's the victim. This is part of a big conspiracy
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: to get Diddy.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Well, did he better or hunker down because there's going
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: to be more video and more victims coming out to
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: speak crime stories with Nancy Grace straight out to Keela
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Brantley joining me. Dailymail dot com true not true. Daily Mail,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: the biggest online news site in the world, says Diddy
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: and crisis though, because there are more videos.
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: Of course, Nancy, I mean, like I said before, if
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: you abuse once, it's likely you've done it before. Obviously,
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: they stay at hotels, and there's many instances. There's a
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: ex girlfriends, not only Cassie, but you have Kimporter. There's
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: been time and time against several women who have accused
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: him or people, bodyguards, assistants who have said that this
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: is very typical for Diddy. So it's no surprise there
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: that he is in crisis mode. Obviously that apology video
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: is part of the crisis mode, trying to you know,
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: smooth things over, which obviously I don't think many people
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: have fallen for. But also Nancy, I did want to
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: provide some clarity on as to why he did not
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: say Cassie's name. TMZ just reported that it's actually part
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: of the settlement, the undisclosed amount that he settled with
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: Cassie back in the fall, one day after she sued
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: him for thirty million dollars. Now, apparently TMZ spoke to
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: a source who has inside knowledge of the settlement and
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: that there was a DNA that neither did he nor
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: Cassie could publicly speak about each other or say each
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: other's names. So that does provide a little bit of
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: the clarity about why he did not say Cassie's name directly,
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: And it completely makes sense as to why people were
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: up in arms that he didn't apologize directly to Cassie.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Sean Puffy comes ak a didty aka p He did?
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: He apologizes.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Listen, it's so difficult to reflect on the darkest times
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: in your life. Sometimes you got to do that. I was,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, I had rock bottom. But I make no excuses.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: responsibility for my ashes in that.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Video joining me in all star pan Let everybody jump in.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: We're not having high tea at Windsor Castle. But hey,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: back to you, dear Well Cohen entertainment lawyer, former felony prosecutor.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: I would not be surprised if a lot Cosby and
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: others one of these women that he and his lawyer,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: high price lawyer I might have Benjamin Brafman keep.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Saying, Oh, they're all lying, they just want money.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: I would be very not surprised if one of them
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: decides to sue him for defamation.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Remember when Couse we kept saying, they're all lying.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: I didn't do that to anybody, drug them and rape them,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah you did.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: And then they turn arount and sued him.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: After the statute of limitations had run, as in this case,
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: for defaming them, lying on them in.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Public watch out. Did he hear it comes? What do
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: you think, Darryl?
• 32:26
  Speaker 13: I think that we see what we see when and
• 32:29
  Speaker 13: if it happens. He has not named any one or
• 32:33
  Speaker 13: two or three or twenty people. He has said I
• 32:36
  Speaker 13: was wrong. It was my darkest day, and I believe
• 32:39
  Speaker 13: his apology.
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: Is it late? Sure? But is it appropriate? Absolutely? Did
• 32:45
  Speaker 8: he did it? Did he do it after the video
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: came out? Yes, he did.
• 32:52
  Speaker 13: That was an appropriate time to do it. And I
• 32:54
  Speaker 13: think he's right. They're looking now for money if they
• 32:58
  Speaker 13: wanted him to be prosecut Do.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: You think that the abuse victims are looking for money? Okay, hey,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: you know what I just noticed under John Delatory, renound
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: psychologist and mediator, Doctor Delatory, did you see I just
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: saw it when Cohen was speaking as we were showing
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: comes speaking on mute. As he's talking, he's shaking his
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: head No, like when you say yes, I really love
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: you and you're shaking your head no the whole time.
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Doesn't that mean something in your line of business?
• 33:31
  Speaker 10: Yeah?
• 33:31
  Speaker 11: Absolutely, because you're looking at how everything is kind of
• 33:34
  Speaker 11: matching up, how the words match up with body language.
• 33:37
  Speaker 11: You're used to consistency, right as human beings, that's what
• 33:40
  Speaker 11: we want, and when we see something that's inconsistent, that
• 33:43
  Speaker 11: raises our antenna, that puts us in an on guard
• 33:47
  Speaker 11: position because it makes us think that whatever we're being
• 33:50
  Speaker 11: told at the time doesn't come across as genuine. Now
• 33:54
  Speaker 11: maybe he's genuine, maybe he's not, but it certainly doesn't
• 33:57
  Speaker 11: feel that way when you listen to him and you
• 34:00
  Speaker 11: watch him speak to you.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: Rober Crispin joining US now private investigator, former Federal Task
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: force for the USDJ Department of Justice. Robert Crispin, You've
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: seen a lot of defendants, a lot of lion defendants.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Have you ever noticed how somehow they make it all
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: about them, not the actual victim. Somehow the perp turns
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: out in their mind to be the victim himself.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: And that's just what we see Sean comes doing.
• 34:32
  Speaker 9: I mean, listen, they can't come straight out forward and
• 34:35
  Speaker 9: say hey, you know, I'm sorry for beating you down
• 34:38
  Speaker 9: on multiple occasions. They always like to smooth it over
• 34:41
  Speaker 9: as like you said, they're the victim and I was
• 34:43
  Speaker 9: in a dark place and it was a bad time
• 34:45
  Speaker 9: in my life. They never actually address exactly what the
• 34:49
  Speaker 9: allegations are.
• 34:49
  Speaker 10: They kind of like give.
• 34:51
  Speaker 9: You a global apology which is going to incorporate everything
• 34:55
  Speaker 9: that they've ever done. And I'm shocked that he came
• 34:58
  Speaker 9: forward with this video because this video did not do
• 35:02
  Speaker 9: him any justice in light of everything that's pending against him,
• 35:06
  Speaker 9: the investigation.
• 35:08
  Speaker 10: How they even allowed him to release this.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: Force me Paul Brendan, who was named as Diddy's drug
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: mule in Rodney Jones lawsuit has taken a plea deal
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: to dismiss the cocaine possession charge against him. Brendan was
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: arrested at Miami's Appolloca Airport while traveling with Combs the
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: day the rappers homes were rated. The Miami Dade State
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: Attorney's Office has said the drug diversion program Brendan must
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: complete is a standard deal offered to nonviolent defendants with
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: no prior arrests.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Are the desperate rats finally jumping ship rather they go
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: down with the ship? The rats are taking deals, Nancy.
• 35:48
  Speaker 13: That's my old office from before, the DA's office in Fulver,
• 35:51
  Speaker 13: And they offered him a deal because he was a
• 35:55
  Speaker 13: small time, one time only OTO person rested with a
• 36:00
  Speaker 13: small amount of cocaine.
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: Not a big deal. It's only a big deal if
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: you put it together.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: You took a plea.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: So what I'm not saying he's a good person or
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: a bad person. What I'm saying is he was on
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: the inside of Combs's circle. And if he takes a
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: sweetheart deal, you don't think the state's gonna want testimony
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: and exchange for a.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: Light please sentence, Because I do.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: There's no way I take a deal on this guy
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: unless he would tell me everything he knows about Combs
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: under oath on video sitting on a stack of bibles.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm also wondering. And to you, KILEB.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Brantley joining US investigative reporter dailymail dot com, another Diddy associate,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Combs associate says he saw Combs be not only Cassie Ventura,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: but kim Porter, the mother of some of comes children.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: What do you know about that?
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Nancy. This was his former bodyguard who said that
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: he did witness violence and that Cassie is not the
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: only victim. He did mention kim Porter. And obviously there's
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: a history here. And because he has so many people
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: around him, so many such a big team, there are
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: people who have witnessed this and it's only a matter
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: of time before they come forward and they give testimony,
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: and time will tell.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: We wait as justice unfolds. And to you, Sean Combs,
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: it's never too late to do the right thing. We
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: stop and remember American hero Deputy Marshall Barry Jigligo shot
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: and killed in the line of duty Louisiana. Survived by
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: loving fiance Pat and son Joseph, American hero Barry Jigligoh.
