Transcript
- 0:00This Diddy situation is bonkers. I look at him like I say Jesus.
- 0:05And the next question is, so far, the prosecution has brought
- 0:08in 16 different people to testify over the first two weeks
- 0:12of the trial. Now, just to be clear, Combs has
- 0:14pleaded not guilty and firmly denies any wrongdoing.
- 0:18His lawyers say any personal issues he had came down to
- 0:22jealousy and that while some of his private life might be
- 0:26unusual, it doesn't make it illegal.
- 0:28OK, before we think about what whether Diddy is innocent or
- 0:31guilty, let's hear from the 16 witnesses #1 Israel Flores.
- 0:37He was the first witness and he worked at the security of a
- 0:39hotel in LA where an incident between Combs and Ventura
- 0:43reportedly happened back in 2016.
- 0:46He said that when he got to the 6th floor after a distress call,
- 0:49he found Combs and Ventura in the hallway.
- 0:52According to Flores, Ventura had a visible injury and Combs gave
- 0:57him a chilling look. After helping Ventura, Flores
- 1:00said Combs tried to slip him a bribe, flashing a big wad of
- 1:04cash and asking him to keep quiet.
- 1:06He said no #2 Daniel Phillip. He is someone who worked very
- 1:11closely with Ventura. He shared that he was hired to
- 1:14be with Ventura while Combs was present.
- 1:16He said that once Combs threw a bottle at her and then he
- 1:19dragged her by her hair and that was all because she didn't
- 1:22immediately follow his directions.
- 1:25Philip also described hearing her apologizing and then sounds
- 1:29that suggested suggested a struggle.
- 1:31He admitted that he didn't step in, explaining he felt he didn't
- 1:34have the power to intervene because of just who Diddy Combs
- 1:38was. During cross examination,
- 1:40Combs's lawyers questioned some of the details and timing in his
- 1:43story. But Philip stuck firmly to what
- 1:46he said #3 Cassie Ventura, musician and Combs's
- 1:51ex-girlfriend, was on the stand for four days during the first
- 1:54week of the trial. The prosecutors called her on
- 1:57early, partly because she was 8 months pregnant.
- 2:00Whilst testifying, she explained how Combs signed her to his
- 2:03label and that they had an on and off relationship that lasted
- 2:07more than 10 years. Casey said that things started
- 2:11off well, but then overtime Combs allegedly started to
- 2:14become more controlling and more aggressive.
- 2:16She said that Combs would often threaten her if she didn't
- 2:19follow his rules, and she said she was made to take part in the
- 2:23wild parties where things would get very evil there.
- 2:27Casey described these parties as being very much planned by
- 2:30Combs, down to where the people were placed and even the
- 2:33lighting. She also shared details about
- 2:36several times when Combs was very cruel to her, including a
- 2:402016 incident that the jury saw on video, Casey said.
- 2:44When I decided to leave, I grabbed what I could and I got
- 2:48out, but Sean followed me into the hallway by the elevators,
- 2:51picked me up, threw me down, kicked me and tried to drag me
- 2:54back. The couple broke up in 2018.
- 2:57Then in 2023, Casey took legal action against Combs, accusing
- 3:02him of a long history of controlling behaviour.
- 3:06The case was settled for $20 million, with no admission of
- 3:10guilt from Combs. But it sparked the federal
- 3:13investigation #4 Yasmin Binder, a federal agent from Homeland
- 3:18Security Investigations. She talked about the search of
- 3:22Combs hotel straight after his arrest in September 2024.
- 3:26She said investigators found $9000 in cash and substances
- 3:31that tested positive as well as baby oil were found.
- 3:35Photos of the hotel room were then shown to the jury #5 Dawn
- 3:39Richard, a former member of Danity Kane.
- 3:41Dawn Richard, who used to be part of Combs's music group
- 3:45called Danity Kane, described 1 occasion in 2009 when Combs came
- 3:50downstairs angry, shouting about missing breakfast eggs and
- 3:54telling Casey that she never could get anything right.
- 3:57Then, according to Dawn, Combs grabbed the and with eggs and
- 4:01tried to hit Casey with it, causing her to fall to the
- 4:04floor. Dawn also said that she saw
- 4:07Combs punch Casey in the face with a closed fist before a
- 4:10music festival in Central Park that very same year.
- 4:14Casey tried to cover up the injury with sunglasses and
- 4:17makeup, and Dawn also wore sunglasses too, as a way to show
- 4:21her support for her. The jury saw a photo of Dawn,
- 4:24Casey and another member of Danity Kane, all wearing
- 4:27sunglasses at that same festival.
- 4:30On the stand, defence lawyer Nicole Westmoreland questioned
- 4:33Dawn's story, saying parts of it had changed overtime and
- 4:36suggested that she was testifying because Colmes's
- 4:39actions had actually ended her music career by breaking up the
- 4:43groups that she was part of #6. Kerry Morgan, Ventura's former
- 4:48best friend, shared with the jury 2 times.
- 4:50She said she saw Colmes get physical with Cassie.
- 4:54One was at the house in which Colmes rented in Hollywood Hills
- 4:57and the other happened during a trip to Jamaica.
- 5:00Kerry described the Jamaican moment like this.
- 5:03I heard her screaming and went down to the hallway.
- 5:06It was a long hallway. They were coming out of the
- 5:08master bedroom and he was dragging her by her hair on the
- 5:11floor. The prosecution also asked Kerry
- 5:14about what happened after the 2016 incident when Combs is
- 5:18accused of hurting Cassie. Her story lined up with what
- 5:21Cassie had told the jury, that the police showed up because
- 5:24Cassie didn't cooperate. She said she later accepted
- 5:27$30,000 from Combs after she he threatened to sue him.
- 5:31In exchange, Kerry signed a confidentiality agreement.
- 5:35After that, her friendship with Cassie was over #7 David James
- 5:40Combs Former personal assistant David James used to be Combs.
- 5:44His personal assistant gave the jury a glimpse of what it was
- 5:48like working for him. He shared a story about his
- 5:50first time walking into the Bad Boy Entertainment headquarters
- 5:54for a job interview. An employee told him this is Mr.
- 5:57Combs, his Kingdom. We're all here to serve him.
- 6:00While pointing to a picture of Combs, David describes a wide
- 6:04range of things he had to do, from stocking hotel rooms to
- 6:07driving Combs when he wanted to confront a rival record
- 6:11executive called Marion Siege Knight, reportedly while
- 6:15carrying several guns. The jury first heard about this
- 6:18showdown during Cassie's testimony, and David said that
- 6:21he himself, when he witnessed it, it made him want to quit #8
- 6:25Regina Ventura. Cassie Ventura's mother.
- 6:29Regina Ventura, Cassie's mom, told the jury how she took out a
- 6:32home equity loan to pay Combs because she was worried he might
- 6:36follow through on a threat to release a private video of her
- 6:40daughter. She read an e-mail from Cassie
- 6:42to her from Combs's assistant Capricorn Clark from December
- 6:472011 where Cassie wrote The threats that have been made
- 6:50towards me by Sean Puffy Combs are that he is going to release
- 6:552 tapes of me. Regina testified that she and
- 6:59her husband decided to take out a loan so that they could send
- 7:02Combs the $20,000 he demanded, although later he decided to
- 7:07give this money back #9 Sheree Hayes.
- 7:11He told the court that he was hired around a dozen times by
- 7:14Sean Combs and Cassie Ventura. Hayes said that he first met the
- 7:18pair back in 2012 when Ventura asked him to help set up a scene
- 7:22for Combs birthday. He was told to go to the Trump
- 7:25International Hotel and Tower in Manhattan.
- 7:28And honestly, the things that were mentioned are so dark for
- 7:32what he was asked to do, I'd actually rather not talk about
- 7:35it. But after that first time, Hayes
- 7:37said that he worked for the couple up to 12 more times,
- 7:40getting paid between 1200 and $2000 each time.
- 7:45On the questioning from Combs's lawyers, Hayes said that he
- 7:48noticed Ventura sometimes flinched at Combs's
- 7:51instructions, but otherwise seemed comfortable.
- 7:54This feeds into the big debate in the case.
- 7:57Was Ventura really doing all of this willingly #10 We had Gerald
- 8:03Gannon, a special agent with Homeland Security
- 8:06Investigations. He walked the jury through
- 8:09evidence seized from Combs home in Miami Beach.
- 8:12Among the things found were parts of two AR15 style rifles
- 8:17with scratched out serial numbers just steps away from
- 8:20where Combs allegedly stored. Items linked to those private
- 8:24events. Stuff like baby oil, high heels
- 8:27and other items #11 was psychologist Dawn Hughes, who
- 8:32helped explain why people stay in these types of relationships.
- 8:37She said it's hard for us to break up with someone even under
- 8:40the best circumstances. Now, she wasn't actually allowed
- 8:43to analyze Combs and Ventura's relationship directly, but she
- 8:47did give some background on why Ventura might have gone back
- 8:51repeatedly #12 George Kaplan, Combs former assistant who also
- 8:56testified he had an immunity deal so he he couldn't be
- 9:00prosecuted for anything he admitted.
- 9:03Kaplan said he quit after 15 months because he couldn't keep
- 9:07fixing problems caused by Combs his repeated acts.
- 9:11He described moments where he also saw Combs hold a whiskey
- 9:14glass over Cassie's head during the flights.
- 9:17And in another incident, he saw Sean Combs throw apples at one
- 9:21of his other girlfriends. I felt guilty for not stopping
- 9:24it. Kaplan told the jury.
- 9:26He also explained how he helped set up the hotel room for Combs
- 9:30on very short notice, bringing in a hotel bag stacked of
- 9:33essentials like candles, baby oil, speakers, and extra
- 9:37clothes. After the events, Kaplan was
- 9:40often asked to clean up because they didn't want hotel staff
- 9:43seeing or recording what had happened #13 Kid Cuddy, who is a
- 9:49musician and actor and his real name is Scott Mess Cuddy.
- 9:53He told the jury that his brief relationship with Cassie Ventura
- 9:57was overshadowed by threats from Sean Combs, which ultimately led
- 10:01him and Ventura to stop seeing each other.
- 10:03He said that he suspected that Combs broke into his home and
- 10:07even orchestrated the fire bombing of his luxurious sports
- 10:11car. Mescudi explained that after
- 10:14starting a relationship with Ventura, who was involved on and
- 10:17off with Combs for years, he got a sudden phone call from Ventura
- 10:20warning him that Combs had found out that they were seeing each
- 10:24other. Soon after, Combs assistant
- 10:27called to say Combs had broken into MES Cuddy's home.
- 10:30I said Em, are you in the house? And he said what's up?
- 10:34Are you in my house? I just want to talk to you.
- 10:36I'm on my way over right now. This is what Mess Cuddy
- 10:39testified. So he then rushed home, but he
- 10:42didn't find Combs there. However, there was clear signs
- 10:45of the break in Christmas presents he'd bought for his
- 10:48family were opened and his dog was locked in the bathroom.
- 10:52He reported the incident to the police.
- 10:54Mess Cuddy said that he and Ventura broke up because things
- 10:57were getting out of hand and he was worried for for both of
- 11:00their safety. During her testimony, Ventura
- 11:03said Combs threatened both her and Mescudi if they continued in
- 11:07their relationship, even vowing to blow up Mescudi's car.
- 11:11Kid Cudi told the jurors he suspected Combs carried out the
- 11:14threat in early 2012 after someone cut open the soft top of
- 11:19his Porsche and threw a lit Matalov cocktail inside.
- 11:23The jury saw photos of the burnt car as evidence.
- 11:27Combs lawyers have denied any involvement.
- 11:30The fire bombing #14 Milah Morales Morales was called to
- 11:34testify about an alleged 2010 incident in Beverly Hills hotel
- 11:39suite. Morales said Combs stormed into
- 11:42the room after a night out, shouting where is she before
- 11:45storming the bedroom and shutting the door.
- 11:48Morales said Ventura had to stay with her for a few days to
- 11:51recover. A friend who was a doctor
- 11:53checked on Ventura and suggested that she should go to an
- 11:56emergency room, but Morales said Ventura chose not to go #15
- 12:01Frederick Zemor. He was a hotel manager, the
- 12:05general manager of the Elementaj Beverly Hills.
- 12:09He testified that Combs was a frequent guest at the hotel.
- 12:13According to the notes that the hotel kept, Combs visited often.
- 12:17It said he always spills candle wax on everything, He uses
- 12:20excessive amounts of oil, and he places the rooms in an out of
- 12:24order state upon departure. And they have a great need for
- 12:28deep cleaning. Lastly #16 Joshua Croft, a
- 12:32special agent with Homeland Security Investigations.
- 12:35He briefly explained the process of examining electronic devices
- 12:40recovered in the investigation. He told the jury he conducted
- 12:43data extractions from the three laptops belonging to Cassie
- 12:48Ventura. One of the laptops had a user
- 12:50profile named Frank Black and Elias used by Sean Combs.
- 12:56But listen to this. During the Diddy trials, there
- 12:58have been reports about people standing outside the courthouse
- 13:01wearing free Diddy T-shirts. A woman shared on TikTok that
- 13:05she was offered $20 to wear one of these shirts, but declined
- 13:09because the payment was in a cryptocurrency called Diddy
- 13:13Coin, which is managed by Combs sons Justin and King.
- 13:17She wasn't familiar with the coin and didn't think it was
- 13:20worth it. Another person reportedly
- 13:22received $60.00 for standing outside of the courtroom for
- 13:26three hours. Why do you?
- 13:29Why do you? Why do you feel that way?
- 13:32These are all paid protesters. You can get $20.00 an hour if
- 13:35you wear a T-shirt. You guys speak up.
- 13:36She just got recruited right? I refuse.
- 13:40You said no, it wasn't worth the 20.
- 13:43No, but like he told me that it's for a biddy coin, so I
- 13:47don't. I'm not really sure what that
- 13:48is. Yeah, they just tried to pay $20
- 13:53to wear a free fucking shirt. Stop.
- 13:55I knew I could tell. Because the lady right there,
- 13:57she just cut to go wear a shirt and I'm like.
- 14:01You've probably already heard that former President Barack
- 14:04Obama's name came up briefly during the trial, mainly as part
- 14:08of a testimony referencing Combs connections and influence in the
- 14:12entertainment and political worlds.
- 14:14However, there was actually no suggestion or evidence presented
- 14:18linking Obama directly to the case or any of the alleged
- 14:21activities. But OK, I know what some of you
- 14:24are thinking. Is Obama innocent or guilty?
- 14:27But I think a bigger question, is Diddy innocent or guilty?
- 14:31I think the evidence points to the fact that he is guilty, but
- 14:34it's a bigger, bigger question that needs to be asked.
- 14:37Are you innocent or are you guilty?
- 14:40You see, every single one of us has broken God's law.
- 14:43We've told lies. We've looked at things we
- 14:46shouldn't of. We've thought angry thoughts,
- 14:48wrong thoughts, hateful thoughts.
- 14:50We've all sinned, the Bible says.
- 14:51We've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
- 14:55We all deserve to go to a place of outer darkness, a place
- 14:59called hell. The Bible describes.
- 15:01That's what we all deserve. But God's in his grace doesn't
- 15:05want us to go there. So he sent his Son Jesus Christ
- 15:08to go upon an old Roman cross and die in our place, being the
- 15:13substitute for our sin. Now some of you listening to
- 15:16this, you think, how dare you compare me to Diddy?
- 15:19How dare you put me in that same category?
- 15:22Now, I'm not saying you've done things like that.
- 15:24Perhaps you have. Maybe you've done things even
- 15:26worse. But I am saying this before a
- 15:28God whose standard is perfection.
- 15:30We're all guilty. And here's something else that's
- 15:32going to shock you even more. Did you know this even Diddy is
- 15:36not too far gone? You see, the Bible says that if
- 15:39we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us
- 15:43of our sins and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness.
- 15:47So whether you're the worst Sinner in the room or you're
- 15:49someone who everyone looks at and says they're a good
- 15:52upstanding citizen, they're a good person, we're all sinners,
- 15:55but we also can all be forgiven. We can all be cleansed if we
- 15:59come to the Lord Jesus Christ and ask him to save us.
- 16:02If we believe on his name, the one who died on on that cross,
- 16:06our sins can be scrubbed away by the very blood of the Lord Jesus
- 16:10Christ. You say why does the God of the
- 16:11Bible demand a blood sacrifice to forgive us?
- 16:15I'll tell you why. Because our sin is so bad before
- 16:19his righteousness that death is required.
- 16:21The Bible says the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is
- 16:25eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
- 16:28And that eternal life is available for you right now
- 16:31because the Christ Jesus who died on the cross, who went into
- 16:34a tomb, rose on the third day and offers eternal life and hope
- 16:39to all sinners who will run into his arms and say, save me, Lord
- 16:43Jesus, forgive me of my sins. Have mercy on my soul.
- 16:47He'll forgive you and wash away your sins.
- 16:49Perhaps you clicked on here because you had an interest in
- 16:52Diddy Combs and the trial. Well, my dear friend, I want you
- 16:55to take interest in your soul and the trial that you and I
- 16:58will all face. Because whether we choose Jesus
- 17:01Christ or not, we'll all stand before the judgement seat of
- 17:04Christ and we will be on trial that day.
- 17:06The books will be opened, as the Bible says, every deed we've
- 17:10ever done, every sin, it's been written, it's been accounted
- 17:12for, and they will open one day. But those books can be scrubbed
- 17:17clean, can be blotted out, if you trust in Christ and ask him
- 17:21to have mercy on you. But if you say no, well, you
- 17:23will find yourself in a much, much more scary position than
- 17:27Diddy Combs is right now. Eternal darkness in hell
- 17:31forever. I don't want that for you.
