The number of lawsuits filed against Sean Diddy Combs grows.  Seven new civil lawsuits have been filed. Six of the cases are from anonymous victims’ represented by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee. Four of the accusers are male, one of the men a minor at the time of the alleged ‘White Party’ assault. Like the other alleged attacks, this one too happened at a White Party.  

The victim, a 16-year-old aspiring artist, saw his invitation as a chance to rub shoulders with big names in the industry. He was shocked and confused when Combs took him aside and told him to drop his pants if he “wants to break into the industry.” Out of fear the teen eventually complied, and Combs grabbed and held his exposed penis for an extended period of time, before returning to the party, saying over his shoulder, ‘We’ll be in touch,’ as he walked away.  

The remaining four John and Jane Does all allege that Sean Combs attacked them after plying them with alcohol or drugs at parties ranging from 1995 to 2021. One woman was a freshman in college when Combs locked her in a hotel room and forced her to perform oral sex on him. Another man wasn’t even a party attendee. The victim was working as a White Party security guard when Combs forced him to take a drink that the victim believes was laced, before shoving him into a van and raping him.     Another of Buzbee’s client says he lost his job at the flagship Herald Square Macy’s Department Store after reporting that Combs attacked him in the storeroom.  

The seventh and most recent filing by Ariel Mitchell is on behalf of Ashley Parham, a woman who claims Combs and three other men ‘gang raped’ her for making a comment about his possible involvement in Tupac’s murder. 

Ashley Parham alleges that she met Sean Combs over Facetime when a date called him in an attempt to impress her. With Combs still on the phone, Ashley comments that she isn’t impressed and has always thought he was involved in Tupac’s murder. Before they hang up, Combs tells Ashley she will “pay” for what she said. Ashley agrees to meet up with her date as his apartment, but says when she arrived, Combs and three other men were waiting with knives. Ashley says Combs threatened to kill her and raped her with a tv remote before passing her off to the other men to “use.”  

In an effort to combat the lawsuits, Diddy’s attorneys want the judge to release the names of victims in order to build a defense.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, Diddy w Sean Combs. It's
actually whining that the FEDS are leaking damning information this
as he is the one demanding that the names of

(00:22):
the alleged sex victims be outed. I'm Nancy Grace, this
is crime Stories. Thank you for being with us.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Combs allegedly planned and controlled the sex performances, which he.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Called freak off freak offs, freak offs, freak offs, freakoffs.
Sean Puffy Combes aka Diddy aka p Diddy, I'll see
you in court.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
In court, Mark Agnefilo accuses the prosecution of leaking evidence
from grand jury proceedings. Agnipillo claims the FEDS alerted the
media to the raids on Combs Miami in La Holmes
and grossly overused force to paying Combs is dangerous. Agnifillo
also accuses prosecutors of leaking the video of Comb's hotel
attack on Cassie Ventura on a slow news day to

(01:11):
stain his reputation. Agnifello wants the video barred from evidence
and for the judge to impose a gag order. Supermanium
agrees to the gag order, asking Agnipillo to draft the
document Okay, let me understand this.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Okay, so we've got Diddy Sean Puffy Combs whining the
fans are leaking damning information. I think they're talking about
the Cassie Ventura beating video of him running down He's
not worry, somebody's gonna see his tie will fall off,
running down a hotel hallway, beating Cassie Ventura when she

(01:48):
tries to leave his room. What do we oh? Here
she goes, hold on. Let's just drink this in for
a moment. We got this from our friends at CNN.
I guess he's accusing CNN of a big conspiracy against him. Okay,
he's managing to hold onto that towel. Okay, get ready out. Okay,
it's not over. Ooh, not over yet, not over yet.

(02:10):
He's grabbing her stuff. Yeah, one more kick. There you
go up and dragging her, literally dragging her back to
the room. But it's not over, not over yet. She's
sitting up, holding her head, and there it picks up
on another hallway, still dragging her. Hold on, sit down,
sit down.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Oop.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
I looked up his towel. Oh bam. He had to
throw the vase, probably really expensive against the wall. But
he didn't care. So that's what I think he's referring to.
And I just can't do this enough. He's whining the
Feds are leaking information. That's not what happened. Who is

(02:54):
responsible for that video? Sean Holmes is responsible for that
video because he's the one parading up and down a
hotel hallway and nothing but a towel. Of course, the
FEDS called the claim absurd straight out to Eric Fattus.
Eric Fattus is a veteran trial lawyer, TV legal analyst

(03:17):
founding partner Varner Fattest elite former felony prosecutor Eric. So
he's the one running down the hall making me look
up his towel. But yet he's blaming the Feds. Remember
when he I got to see the video where he
apologizes for being such a monster and how much he regrets.

(03:39):
It's can we get that cute up, please? But forget
about all the apologies and I'm sorry and I'm a
changed man. It's the Fed's fault, and it's CNN's fault,
and it's our fault. It's not our fault, Fattest, and
it's not the Fed's fault, it's his fault. It's probably
the fault of the hotel employee. He tried to bribe

(04:01):
allegedly not to let that out. So why is he
blaming the FEDS for leaking?

Speaker 2 (04:08):
I hear Innesthey some alarming conduct in the video. Surely,
I think what his counsel is arguing is that the
green Drink proceedings are supposed to be secret. They're supposed
to not disclose any such information to the public that
could be overly prejudicial. In addition, you know, he's sort
of mounting this campaign that there was this military raid
on his properties that was heavy handed, and so I

(04:30):
think it's just part of this attempt to control that
narrative and push it back onto the government because he
has received so much flack, understandably, So, you know.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
What, this is what I had to say about the
FEDS as a former FED for three years. When you
taunt and antagonize the Feds, you got a tiger by
the tail. You can't hold on and you can't let go.
He is claiming that federal agents leaked that tape. What

(04:58):
about the hotel employe, What about Cassie Ventira And if
she did leak it, why not leak it? It happened,
unless you're trying to tell me it's a I created
artificial intelligence. It didn't really happen. So if it didn't
really happen, then why did he allegedly bribe pay off
hotel employees to bury the tape if it didn't exist.

(05:22):
So claiming federal agents are leaking information, that's a bad
idea to taunt the Feds at this juncture. Remember, a
prosecution for the murder of Tupac Shakure is hanging in
the balance. Do I have to say Biggie Notorious, Big
Biggie Smalls, he's dead too. And remember another thing, which

(05:46):
I'll get into later, faddus, is that just before I believe,
the eve before Sean Comb's arrest, the Feds were liaisy
meeting with prosecutors that were handling the Tupac's Curb murder investigation. Wow,
what does that mean? It means to me the charges
ain't over yet. You know what else I haven't gotten

(06:09):
to so everybody get ready. Allegations that the baby oil
that was found thousand bottles of baby oil found at
Diddy's home was actually laced with GHB gamma hydroxy butyrate,

(06:31):
the date rape drug you know how you can rub
cannabis oil on yourself and it infuses your skin with
basically pot. Is that true for Roofie. I don't know,
but that has just hit the headlines. Where did that
come from? That said, I want to go to the
entire panel on this, but first to doctor Bethany Marshall.

(06:55):
You know what I love doctor Bethany Marshall. Doctor Bethany Marshall,
renowned psycho alics joining us from Beverly Hills. She's the
author of deal Breakers. You can see her on Peacock
and a lot more. Doctor Bethany. I love try co
defendants together. I love to put him in the same pot.
Let him steep because you can always count on this. Uh,

(07:17):
he did it, she did it. I didn't do it. Look,
that's what's happening here. Diddy is trying to blame the
FEDS for him prancing up and down a hotel hallway
and nothing but a table and beating Cassie Ventira. That's
what's happening.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
Here, Nancy, That's exactly what's happening.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
You know.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
He Diddy has related to everybody around him on the
basis of power and control for so many years that
he thinks he can do it with the Feds. What
we're going to learn more in this case is about
his offending pattern. Just like he stalked his victims, just
like he attacked them, he raped them, he probably punished them,

(07:55):
made them feel like whatever happened to them was their fault.
He's in a way assaulting SAIDs too. It's always the
same offending pattern, Nancy. It just plays out in endless variations.
But in this case, he's not attacking or blaming a
sixteen year old or a twelve year old sex worker.

(08:15):
He's blaming a government agency. So he's not going to
have the power that he's been used to his entire life.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
You know, the blame game is going on and on.
Let me go to an expert you know well by now,
Lynn Shaw found a director of Lynn's Warriors, a nonprofit
that is dedicated to ending sex exploitation of girls and women.

(08:43):
Lynn Shaw. In this case, we are going to see
the victims being blamed. But before I get to that,
it's already started that holds smear the victims. But before
I get to that, what do you make Seawn comes
behind bars blaming the fans for Laky. You think the
fans like that. I don't think so, Nancy.

Speaker 6 (09:05):
You can't ask me that this creepy, crazy, criminal, dirty
ditty as I like to call him. If we break
it down and just had the Cassie video alone, that
is enough with so many different charges. We don't care
about his whining and his crying and that lawyer flapping
his lips all over everywhere, telling everybody you know, the Feds,

(09:26):
the Feds, the Feds. We've got to focus on the
many victims coming forward a lot. Remember they don't know
each other, and they're coming together with similar stories. Remember
where there's smoke, there's fire. We cannot keep blaming. It's
always in the justice system. We have to outgrow this
in twenty twenty four, blaming the victims. Let's hear all

(09:48):
of their stories. I don't care about him. He doesn't
like his food, he's crying, his family's showing up.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Well right now, he's also blaming the FEDS. And to you,
Tom Smith jumping off what Lynn Shaw just said. Thomas Smith,
former NYPD detective, co host of the gold Shields podcast.
You can find him at the Goldshields Show dot com.
You heard Fattest stating that it's basically, it's what he's saying.
It's also the fest fault because they did a quote

(10:16):
military raid his words, not mine, and we're very heavy
handed in their search of Sean comes home. Let's see
the video of the mansion search one of his mansions anyway,
correct me if I'm wrong, Lauren Colin. But Tom Smith,
when you enter a structure where you know or believe

(10:38):
that people will be armed or have access to weapons,
how do you conduct a raid like that? Because now
we're hearing this is the fast fault too because of
the quote militaristic raid on the mansion, Well.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
You conducted as the worst case scenario. If you have
information that people may be armed in there and his
weapons in that structure, you're going to do it tactfully,
and you're going to do it quick and you're going
to do it by the book to make sure no
one on that team is injured.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
And that's the way it's done.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
It's done on the lowest level in an apartment complex,
in the Bronx or in Diddy's house. That's how raise
and search warrants are conducted.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
So again it's their fault. It's all their fault. And
as a matter of fact. Lauren Colin joining me co
host Primetime Crime on YouTube. Lauren Colan, isn't it true? Guys?
This video is from our friends at TMZ. Thank you,
Harvey Levin. Look at this, Look at this, and weapons
were found. Weapons were found in the bedroom. And I

(11:41):
would say about twenty thousand dollars there you go, twenty
thousand dollars worth of tennishes. Lauren Conlin, tell me about
the weapons found? Am I correct that weapons were found
in that raid?

Speaker 7 (11:57):
Yes, Nancy, you're correct, And this does not look good.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
There were three.

Speaker 7 (12:01):
Defaced AR fifteens. I mean, that is wild. There's only
one reason you defeat your AR fifteens, if you ask me.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Guys again blaming everybody but himself? Did he whining behind
bars that the Feds are leaking the Fed satan? No
way did that happen? Joining me also special guest doctor
Dwayne Hendrix, former associate warden at MDC that is where
Diddy is being held right now in Brooklyn, former senior
warden with the USDJ Federal Bureau of Prisons. That goes

(12:33):
on and on and on this resume of his doctor Hendrix,
thank you for being with us. You worked at MDC.
And now Diddy is swhining, Can I do this anymore?
Whining about the conditions at MDC. Thoughts you weren't there,
Why do you have those conditions? What conditions? What is

(12:54):
he talking about?

Speaker 8 (12:55):
Well, anyone, anyone who's ever been to inside a Chris
it's uncomfortable, but being confined in an institution is not
for your comfortability. And I understand his attorney and mentioned
the worst conditions that he's suffering thus far is the food.

Speaker 9 (13:14):
He's having a hard time adjusting to the food at
the institution.

Speaker 8 (13:18):
Again, you know, the Karma food truck has not pulled
up to certain meals there, so no one's going to
poison his food or anything like that. But I will say,
you know, the complaining about the meals is going on
deaf ears. There are thirty six million children across this country.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
I love what you just said, and you put it
so nicely. That's like putting perfume on the pig. His
complaints about the food is falling on deaf ears. Don't
you know that the head of food services or the
cafeteria is like didd, he's complaining about my food. Uh No,
he does not want he she does not want to
hear that.

Speaker 8 (14:00):
No, And then you know every day the institution duty officer,
you know, a person supervisory staff member that's there in
the evenings on the weekends as a representative for the
executive staff. They check or they actually taste one meal
per day and by policy is to make sure the.

Speaker 9 (14:16):
Food is palatable. So basically meaning now you've.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Been in the system for thirty years, but I have
to take that you are reading. You have to look
down to see how many times they get food.

Speaker 8 (14:26):
Know, what I'm saying is, I'm just wanting to make
sure my notes are right in terms of what the
policy requirements are.

Speaker 9 (14:31):
So what I'm saying is every day someone is checking
to make sure the food is patable, palatable.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
I'm sorry, Okay, yes, but Denny doesn't have his private chef,
so he's whining about it. So onont the line, Sean
Combs is whining about being behind bars. He's blaming the fence.
It's their fault. The Cassie video was leaked, which it
wasn't leaked by the federal agents. I suspect someone on

(15:02):
the cast eventuricide. They know how it got out. But
blaming the victims is the single worst thing he's doing.
When you find out what his trial strategy is going
to be. That's it. The whole thing is, it's the
victim's faulty. It was all consensual and they were either

(15:22):
hookers or hoes. That's the defense.

Speaker 10 (15:26):
Mark Agnifilo claims he has interviewed multiple sex workers involved
in Diddy's freak offs, and the consensus is nothing ever
seemed non consensual. Agnifilo asserts the witnesses say no one
was too drunk or too high to understand what they
were doing. However, even in the case that victims did
agree to participate, the state may argue Combs's exorbitant wealth

(15:47):
and extreme power made victims feel like they had no
choice but to comply.

Speaker 6 (15:52):
They're essentially saying, it's a lubricant for an orgy.

Speaker 10 (15:56):
I guess, I don't know what you need.

Speaker 8 (15:57):
One thousand bottle of baby oil goes a long way.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
I don't know what you need to need a thousand for.
I mean, he has a big house. He buys in bulk.
You know. I think they have Costcos in every place
where he has a home.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
I mean, have you sat in the parking lot of
a Costco and see what people walk out of there with.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Not a thousand bottles of baby oil. I don't think
it was a thousand. I think it was. I think
it was a let's just just say it's a lot. Okay,
how did Harvey Levin keep himself from laughing right there?
That clip is from our friends at TMZ, And there's
a class that they need to offer at law school.
It's called sit down and shut up. Lawyers cannot shut up.

(16:32):
They just can't. So why Agnafello engaged with Levin, who
is also a lawyer. Well, that was just stupid guy.
There's really not a nice way to say it. But
speaking of baby oil, which, by the way, Agnafello the
allegation that was used as a lube lubricant at the

(16:56):
freak offs a euphemistic term according to Prosecute for rape sessions.
All right, let's bring it all home here. We can
snicker all we want to at Ditty whining behind bars
or Agnafellow sticking his foot in his mouth, But what
we're talking about are new and recent charges that Combs

(17:18):
and or his staff laced the baby oil with the
date rape drug. These are not my words, These are
words coming straight out of a legal document and a
civil complaint, one of six new complaints filed in the
last forty eight hours, claiming comes quote particularly fancied end

(17:44):
quote hypnol, the date rape drug gamma hydroxy mitate, and
would then quote commit heinous non consensual acts of sex,
violence and rape that comes with quote secretly spike alcoholic
beverages like champagne or lemon drop cocktails with GHB. It

(18:10):
goes on and on and on. Now we've all heard
of drinks being laced with GHB the date rate drunk,
but have you ever heard of a bodily lubricant or
lotion being laced with GHB or hypnol. I want to

(18:30):
go straight out to Dr Beth and E. Marshall. You
know what, We had a good time making crying sounds,
or I did, But now I want to talk about
what this means. Now, the concept of lacing a body
lotion with GHB. That's going to be new to a

(18:55):
lot of people. And you say, how does that work.
It's not like rubbing a baby aspirin on your arm
expecting your headache to go away. Wait, think about cannabis oil,
all right, oil infused with the main ingredient of pot
and by all accounts, it works. It's even medicinally prescribed.

(19:22):
All those doctors can't be wrong. Doctor Bethany, what do
you make of this legal allegation that has emerged in
the last forty eight hours.

Speaker 5 (19:33):
It sounds like he was mixing GHB with baby oil
and then ingesting it into the antal cavities of his victims.
And the reason he would have done that is that
then the GHB is absorbed into the bloodstream more quickly.
Now remember there were more men, there were men.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Dr Bethany. Dr Bethany, hold on, you got me drinking
out of the fire hydrant here too much, too fast.
So it's not that the baby oil was necessarily rubbed
onto the body after being laid with the date rape drug.
It was like an anima, right, that.

Speaker 5 (20:13):
Is exactly right. I mean we think of a date
rape drug as you know, a woman's at a bar
and somebody you know, slips a pill or a roofie
into her drink. This is totally different. This is this
is ingesting it anally and perhaps either under the guise
of you know, some pretense for why there needed to

(20:34):
be baby lube inserted anally and then it would be
absorbed so quickly into the bloodstream. The victim would not
know what hit them. And these are not just female victims, Nancy,
these are male victims. These were male predominated parties. Okay,
underage girls were there, girls of legal age were there,

(20:57):
but there were a lot of boys and men, so
there was a lot of same sex activity going on.
So I think if we think of that, really they
were trying to use a pretext of something called chem sex,
and that is when you use chemicals to enhance sexual
arousal and the duration of the sex act so it

(21:18):
can go on for hours or days. And these poor women,
these unsuspecting women, were I mean, they were raped, and
they were drugs in such an unusual way. Yancy. Think
about a thousand bottles of baby oil. Think about ten

(21:38):
victims per bottle. I don't know how big these bottles were.
You have ten thousand victims. I mean, that is a prolific,
prolific rape machine that we're talking about.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Now crime stores with Nancy Grace. GHB takes about fifteen
minutes to take effect and the effects last for hours,
which could corroborate many of the alleged victims claims that

(22:12):
they had a drink and then the next thing they remember,
they wake up with pain in the vagina or the anus. Now,
in this lawsuit, the one that was filed about forty
eight hours ago, was followed almost immediately by another lawsuit
the next day by Ashley Parham claiming that comes downsed

(22:35):
her with the baby oil before a gang rape. In
that case, she was claiming the rape was payback because
she had said he ordered the hit on Tupac Shakur. Okay,
let's try to get our facts straight. Lauren Colin is
with me, investigative reporter at Primetime Crime on YouTube. Lauren Colin. Now,

(22:57):
in the first lawsuit, it sueduests that the baby oil
infused with the date rape drug was rubbed on skin.
Doctor Bethany is bringing up the specter of anal infusion. Now,
I feel like I've seen it all, but this may
be a shock to the system for a jury, Lauren Colin,

(23:18):
what can you tell me?

Speaker 7 (23:19):
Yes, Nancy, I want to add to that, because it
was John from you just filed the lawsuit in two
thousand and eight that essentially corroborates everything that doctor Bethany
just said. He actually said that after the horrific act
that he felt something leak out of him, and he
felt so sick over this because he assumed it was semen,

(23:42):
but it wasn't. He said that this added to his
trauma immensely.

Speaker 11 (23:47):
I mean.

Speaker 8 (23:49):
To my mom Carmardus, she's getting a drip with me.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
She's had and she's calling me to ship slove. I
don't care well.

Speaker 8 (24:12):
She could touch the floor with her palms flat.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
Whatever. I'm not the church lady. I'm a trial lawyer
speaking of the mother who claims that the case, the
federal case and the civil lawsuits against her son Shawn
comes is a quote public lynching. I've got a funny
feeling the alleged victims don't feel that way. But that said,

(24:45):
the mother appears in court at the last hearing in
flamboyant manner.

Speaker 12 (24:52):
Take a listen, Sean Diddy Combs appears in front of
new judge Arun supermaney and wearing tangail clothes and a
huge grin. The mogul seems to be in good spirits
at his latest status hearing, with his family there to
support him. Mom Jennis Comb's wearing a tiger print coat
and sparkly sunglasses. A company six of Comb's seven children
into the courtroom to the screams of Heckler's Combs reportedly

(25:13):
blows kisses to his family and gestures to show them
he's praying. Getting a few moments to speak with them
in the courtroom.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Now that really happens. Where a defendant charge with serious
crimes and is looking at life behind bars gets additional
time with family in court. That never happens, but it
did happen. Lauren Colin joining US co host Primetime Crime
on YouTube. Lauren again, thank you for being with us.

(25:40):
Tell me what happened in court in addition to the
mom's showing up, and I would expect her to be there,
I don't believe. Well, I can think of a few,
but very very few cases where a definant's mother did
not show up in court to support the child go ahead.
What happened, Yes, it.

Speaker 7 (25:56):
Was crazy outside of the court room, especially when his
family walked in, and I have to say she looked
like she was ready to walk down a red carpet.
It was a little over the top, I guess. But
Diddy that day, apparently he was told that he could
face some additional charges, and they also set an official
trial date of May fifth, So a lot happened that day.

(26:20):
And when I was outside, I saw the MDC bus
and Nancy, it just it gave me chills to see
that dirty old bus.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
It looked a little.

Speaker 7 (26:31):
Brown, and I'm just like, man, how far did he fall?
He's getting back on that bus and going to NDC
after this? And then I was very disappointed because his
lawyers didn't really say much of anything after we were
all waiting for them to get this big speech, and yeah,
nothing was really said.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
So what do you believe is going to happen regarding
a third try at bail? Lauren Conlin, Of course.

Speaker 7 (26:54):
They're going to try, and I have some questions because
what they want to agree to. So they said something
like twenty four to seven surveillance on Ditty they will
do if he is granted bail.

Speaker 1 (27:06):
Nancy, how they do that get you in the bathroom?

Speaker 7 (27:09):
How do they get you when you're doing these private
things to ensure that you're not doing anything solatious.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
During the status hit hearing to which Lauren Colin is referring,
a lot.

Speaker 10 (27:19):
Happened, listen during the status hearing, Judge super money and
says he is open to hearing bail arguments, but attorney
Mark Agnifilo declines, commenting that we're making a go of
MDC as staff have been very accommodating this, While attorneys
Alexandra Shapiro and Jason Driscoll file another bail argument in
appeals court, claiming Judge Andrew Carter made his ruling based

(27:42):
on speculation not hard evidence. The status hearing focuses instead
on scheduling and a gag order request from the defense.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Okay, straight out to Eric Fattus, our legal expert joining
us partner at Varner Fattus Elite Legal, Eric, thank you
for being with us. So the defense is claiming that
bond was denied because the judge that denied bond originally
and secondarily there were two judges relied on speculative information.

(28:15):
What would that be Diddy is a billionaire and didd
he can flee the country. I don't think that's speculative.
So what are they talking about? Are they saying when
the prosecution said he could intimidate witnesses, You've got witnesses
lined up claiming he threatened them, physically pulled guns on them,
and threatened to ruin their careers by releasing porn tapes

(28:37):
of them. So what's the speculation.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
All that is solid, Yeah, Nancy, I think what defense
might be arguing is that the judge relied on like
representations from the prosecution saying, hey, this is the evidence
we have and we'll be able to show it. But
they only submitted one video the prosecution with their response
to the motion for bail, And perhaps the defense is saying, hey,
we need to see the hard evidence before the court,

(29:01):
and that court means to basis ruling on that hard evidence,
not just statements from the prosecute.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Okay, Eric Fattus, why do you expect the state to
put on probitive evidence that they're going to use a
trial in a bond hearing. All you have to show
at a bond hearing is one one of several items.
They're a flight risk, they're a danger to the community

(29:26):
or to themselves. They would try to temper with or
intimidate a witness. Those are three. I can show all
three of those just like that, at the drop of
the hat. So I don't need hard evidence. We already
have the video, the cast venture of video, which shows
he will beat a victim, no question about that. We
already know that he is loaded that he can run

(29:48):
right over to Titeboro or the private airstrip and leave
if he wants to. He's got the means to do that.
And he's a danger. I mean, when you don't know
a horse fattest. Look at his track How many people
has he allegedly sex assaulted? When you've got a track
record like that, why am I gonna Why do I
think you're going to turn into a choir boy if

(30:10):
you get bond? So right there, I got it nailed
on three bond requirements.

Speaker 9 (30:16):
Yeah, I feel you, Nancy.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
And when I was a prosecutor, rarely did I ever
submit like actual you know, yeah, no, I hear you.
What I'm saying is it's not a full blown trial
at a blond hearing. The defendant doesn't have the same rights.
They don't have the right to confrontation, they don't have
the right to cross examined witnesses. It's much more informal
than that, and so the prosecution really handled this in

(30:39):
a customary fashion.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
I think defense's argument on appeal regarding.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
Bond is going to fail.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
For crime stories.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
With Nancy Grace, the first big name celebrity to be
officially accused of misconduct at a Didy party is Kanye West.
West former assistant Lauren Pashotta claims that a join party
with Diddy, her boss, forced her to have at least
one drink. Lauren says she woke up the next morning
with no memory of the night before, thinking someone had

(31:13):
laced her drink. Years later, Ye brought up the time
they hooked up. It was then Lauren realized West had
sexually assaulted her.

Speaker 1 (31:21):
In the last hours a Kanye West sex harassment claim
claiming that Kanye drugged her at a Shawn Combs did
a studio session and assaulted her. We've heard all along

(31:49):
that names are going to be named and that no
one is safe. Take a lesson, specifically from a plaintiffs lawyer,
the one with the eight hundred number call. Did he
if he molested you, that guy Tony Busby.

Speaker 13 (32:07):
If you were attending one of these parties, if you
will and attended before, or you knew what was going
to happen, That is, you knew that a particular drug
was being used in drinks that was causing people to
be coursed and taken advantage of, and you were there
in the room, or you participated or you watched it

(32:28):
happen and didn't say anything, or you helped cover it up.

Speaker 9 (32:32):
In my view, you have a problem that.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Climp from our friends over at TMZ. You got buzzby
claiming he is going to out anybody that was at
the party that enabled comes to attack women or his colleagues.
But who was he talking about. Apparently he doesn't have
a problem with naming celebs. So let me understand. What

(32:55):
is the claim Lauren Colin against Kanye. Oh, yeah, he's
not a sexhibitionist. Have you seen him leading around his
wife with she's basically naked. He's always fully dressed, like
completely head to wrist to toe and she's wearing like
a band aid. So whatever, don't care. I only care

(33:18):
about these claims against these victims. So how does Kanye?
How's he part of this?

Speaker 7 (33:24):
Kanye allegedly threw this party with Diddy, And I just
want to point out that this lawsuit from his assistant,
it was initially filed in June of twenty twenty four,
and it was sexual harassment and wrongful termination because he
let her go, and then she just recently added this
the sexual assault charge because she saw what was happening.

(33:48):
She felt safe and she felt like this was important.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Okay too, Tom Samith is joining me, former NYPD detective,
he's seen it all. I know you're busy right now
creating your Goal Shields podcast, which is a big hit.
But can you think back in a time warp do
when you were working the street as an NYPD Every

(34:14):
time there's a rape case, the first thing defendant says
is I don't know her. Next thing they say is,
oh her, Yeah, I know her. I saw her at
a bar. Next thing they say is it was consensual,
she asked for it. And finally when bruises and torn
clothes emerge, then they plead guilty. Okay, so right here

(34:35):
we're seeing they're all hookers and hoes. That's the defense.
He's claiming that Cassie Ventura is a money seeking, jealous cheater.
Oh she's the bad one. You saw the video, right, Tom. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:47):
I mean they're setting their defense up there. They're disparaging
any future jurors. They're disparaging any future witnesses that are
kind of come forward of look what we're going to
do to you if you come forward and talk about
what happened there, We're going to ruin your life. We're gonna,
you know, delve deep into your background and we're going
to make your life hell. And that's what they're setting up.
And they're intimidating witnesses that are maybe set to come

(35:11):
forward or thinking about coming forward.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
You know.

Speaker 6 (35:13):
Doctor King called it the law of unattended consequences.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
So sometimes the more you push a person down, the.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Stronger they get. Okay, did I just hear a comes
Attorney Anthony Ricou compare Shawn Combs to MLK Jr. Did
he actually just do that? Because I think he did.
He actually compared. Shawn comes to the Reverend doctor Martin

(35:41):
Luther King Junior. Okay, f Yi, Agna, fellow, don't do
that at trial. It's not going to work. By the way,
we we got that from our friends at India today.
He actually compared. Okay, he compared. Shawn comes to MLK Jr.
Letslet's get back on track. Let's get out of the

(36:01):
weeds and back on the road. Shawn Holmes, insisting that
he be allowed to name the alleged rape victims listen.

Speaker 11 (36:12):
Agniphilo has also asked that the prosecution be made to
name all of Diddy's accusers that may testify against him.
Agniphilo argues that droves of anonymous lawsuits are creating a
hysterical media storm that will irreparably deprive mister Colmbs of
a fair trial. Specifically, Agniphilo references Houston attorney Tony Busby's

(36:35):
press conference claiming to represent over one hundred anonymous victims,
calling it a publicity stunt. Agniphilo says the only way
Combs can prepare an adequate defense is eliminating any surprises
by naming his accusers.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Eliminating surprises. That's why we have a bill of indictment
with all of the witnesses, names, addresses, and phone numbers
on it. That's handed over to the defense. This is
not trial by ambush. They have all the witnesses. What
Comms wants is to publicly name the alleged rape victims.
Lynn Shaw is just another tactic. First of all, all

(37:14):
the alleged victims are hookers and hoes. That's the first claim,
which is I feel like I mean a dirt sandwich
even repeating it. But that said, the next thing, let's
shame them. You have dealt with the rape victims, as
have I. The last thing they want is to be
confronted about what happened and the civil Many of the

(37:36):
civil complainants have already made themselves known. What is the strategy, Lynn, Well.

Speaker 6 (37:42):
The strategy is for them just to be so disruptive
and loud and say these outrageous things, shaming women in particular.
We have to remember there's a lot of men. We
have to go there too. But you know, what they're
saying is just to put fear and everybody. We see
this on a daily basis.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
This is why.

Speaker 6 (38:03):
People do not come forward with these rape cases. And
you know what their strategy is, from what we heard,
is going to be these women came here of their
own free will, and you know what, they may have
done that. But I want to just go back a
little bit. I think we need to be focusing on
the males that were there and the miners that were there,

(38:26):
and we're not talking enough about that. But you know what,
this is a lot of noise. I think the public
is smart, and I think he is safer in the
Manhattan Detention Center than out on bail because who knows
what might happen to him with all these people circling
around to.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
Doctor Dwayne Hendricks former Associate Warden, MDC in Brooklyn, former
senior warden with USDJ thirty years. The man knows what
he's talking about. I've been asked this question from everywhere,
to Sunday School to Walmart. Doctor Hendrix, do you believe

(39:03):
there is a chance that Sean Combs is going to
be attacked and or beaten behind bars at NBC?

Speaker 8 (39:09):
No, No, not at all, especially if he's being housed
in a special unit while he's going through this process. However,
I will say, if he is convicted of some of
the crimes that he's alleged to have committed, it will
be very, very difficult for him to what we call

(39:29):
walk on a compound engage in the prison culture with
other inmates. So he would definitely need to be housed
at a facility with individuals with crimes that were committed
and convicted of for him to be in a safe environment.
So yes, would I would say it's going to be

(39:52):
very hard for him to integrate himself into a general
population unit if he is convicted of these alleged crimes.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Dwayne Hendricks, I want the employees and the staff at
MDC to stay awake and not be online shopping like
they were when Epstein was killed, which gives me great
pause regarding the safety of Sean comes. And don't get
me wrong, I don't want anybody to touch a hair
on his head because when he comes in front of
that jury, I want him to be looking good because

(40:22):
you know what, I believe that is the mask of
a predator. I don't want him coming in court all
beat up and roughed up and looking like he's the
underdog and he's endured all this hardship. No, I want
the jury to see him the way these ladies saw
him before they were allegedly raped. You understand, I fully understand.

Speaker 8 (40:44):
And like I said, there's two things that you don't
want to be when you're in.

Speaker 9 (40:49):
Prison in a prison setting.

Speaker 8 (40:50):
That's one an informant and two a sex offender, especially
offenses that are to miners and children.

Speaker 9 (40:58):
Because if he is convicted of these, it's going to
be a problem.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
They need to quit whining about the food and let's
get it on and get it ready for trial. Whining
about food and trying to shame the victims, that's getting
them nowhere. And FYI, word to the wise, stop sparring
with Harvey Levin, especially on video. Nancy Grace signing off
