Sean "Diddy" Combs' defense attorney, Marc Agnifilo,is demanding that prosecutors hand over multiple videos of Combs’ infamous "freak-offs," arguing the tapes prove his innocence.

Prosecutors describe the tapes as elaborate, produced sexual performances, but Agnifilo contends they show private, consensual activity between Combs and Cassie Ventura, stating she "not only consented but thoroughly enjoyed herself."

In the same filing, Agnifilo criticizes the prosecution as “sexist and puritanical.” He claims the government’s case perpetuates stereotypes of female victimhood and denies women agency by assuming they cannot make their own decisions about sex or consent to activities outside the "norm."

Meanwhile, documentaries about the disgraced rap mogul continue to surface. Peacock's The Making of a Bad Boy explores Combs' early life, featuring interviews with childhood and college friends who describe him as a "shy rich kid" trying to prove himself.

Additionally, a Making the Band 2 cast member has accused Combs of sexual assault, and another alleged victim has spoken publicly for the first time

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Crime Stories with Nancy Grace Ditty. What is Sean Combe's
actually saying the Freak Cough tapes prove his innocence? Is
it true? Allegation is now surfacing that he Shawn Combs,
actually used a TV remote in a sex attack on

(00:27):
a victim. This as Shawn Comb's aka Ditty is calling
prosecutors sexist. I'm Nancy Grace, this is Crime Stories. Thank
you for being with us.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
A bumbshell Peacock documentary reveals shunking claims from Ditty's inside
Circle childhood friends tell.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
All Ahmid claims by Shawn Combs that the Free Cough
tape surreptitiously taking showing him directing for days full on
orgies where the victims say they woke up afterwards in pain.
He's actually saying that these sex tapes, now in the

(01:09):
hands of the state will prove he's innocent. Uh okay.
At the same time, A bombshell documentary dropping on Peacock.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Listen, when I got home from the military and Sean
and I hadn't seen each other in a while, and
you know, I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Like, what's some Sean he say?

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Did he call me puff?

Speaker 5 (01:32):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:33):
He called me puff?

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Just being I was being looked at as a punk.
I was being looked at as a pushover. I was
being looked at as a sissy, as a whim, as
a goofy.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
I ain't even trying to know that person again. And
I'm a puff daddy now, okay? Is that the origin
of Sean Combs turning into puff daddy? I ain't even
trying to know that person again. I was a sissy,

(02:05):
a goofy. No more. That's where friends at Peacock diddy
the making of a bad boy in their new documentary
that just dropped. You know, the state is salivating. They've
got out of their forks and their state knives to
cut into this documentary, hoping for new witnesses to emerge
straight out to Rob Shooter and joining us host Noughty

(02:26):
but Nice podcast, former publicists for Shawn Combs and author
of the foreword answer Rob Shooter. After seeing the Peacock documentary,
it makes me wonder, is that where Shawn Combs adopted
his tough guy attitude from being a sissy in his
mind to bullying and allegedly raping victims later in life.

Speaker 6 (02:52):
Yeah, I think you make a good point. I watched
the documentary. This was the origin. Puffy was not Puffy
once he was Shawn Combs and he cafin. He created
this image for himself. He hired people like me to
create this image, to present himself as a king, present
himself as a man in power. But actually his beginnings

(03:12):
were a lot more humble. We are finding that out
from the documentary. But he was not born Puffy. He
was born short.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Okay, let me ask you something. You just said, Rob Shooter,
as a personal publicist per art guru, to Sean Combs,
that you were to create a certain image for Sean Combs,
and that is as a tough guy. How do you
do that?

Speaker 6 (03:35):
Yeah, you surround him by people that make him look tough.
You surround him at photoshoots where he literally sits on
a throne. I remember once when I got Puffy into
People's magazine Sexiest Man Alive issue. He controlled that photo shoot.
He told me how he wanted to be shot, what
he was gonna wear. He wanted to be sitting on
a throne. He literally, in some shoots wore a crowd

(03:57):
and so all this is very very carefully she rated.
None of this just happened, and he was the power
behind it all.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
Okay, Rob, see you throw you throw bombs at me,
and when the grenade goes off, you expect me not
to respond? Shooter, how did he want to be dressed
to look like a tough guy in People magazine? I
can't wait to hear this.

Speaker 6 (04:19):
Yeah, for coats involved, there's diamond rings involved, there's guns involved.
There's the way that he talks, which I have to
say to He speaks to the press in a very
different manner than when you're alone with Puffy. I've flown
on private planes with him. I've been in cars with him.
I've been in his home with him. He's quite a

(04:39):
soft spoken gentleman when he's not putting on the Puffy show.
And so for me, this is no surprise. But this
whole Puffy myth, it's an illusion. It's something that was
made up.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Yeah, well you know what. You call it a myth,
that's not what federal prosecutors call it. They call it
dozens of sex trafficking felonies. So I don't know where
you're going, Shooter. But having watched the Peacocks Diddy the
Making of a bad Boy that just dropped, I know
the state is pouring over it for potential evidence. Listen,

(05:12):
cool addy.

Speaker 7 (05:14):
Party that didn't tie in through a free car. One
of the first pass I really started doing close with
his black he gains a bad boy did and he
called me, what's blood?

Speaker 8 (05:25):
Me?

Speaker 7 (05:26):
Blood out? I got out? I mean he did when
we really have situations.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
He counts your force and time. That from our friends
at Peacock Diddy The Making of a bad Boy. And
you can hear how the guest in that documentary is
insisting that his voice be altered because he is afraid
of Shawn Combs, even though Shaw Combs is currently behind bars.
What more revelations are revealed in Peacock's new documentary as

(05:56):
Shawn comes heads to trial and demands that the freak
Off tapes that he directed be released to the public.
He claims they prove him innocent, that all of these
women went along with it consensually and enjoyed it. Yeah,

(06:18):
their words, not mine. Enjoyed it? Okay, I don't know.
Wendy Patrick, high profile prosecutor out of California founder a
black Swan verdicts author of Why Bad Looks Good. It
goes on and on. I'm not sure how women that

(06:38):
were drugged and have no recollection of the so called
freak off parties consented to that when they wake up
the next morning with their vagina and anus hurting and bleeding.
But that's what the defense is claiming, that all of
this was consensual. How can that be, many of these

(06:59):
women are suing him for sex attack.

Speaker 9 (07:01):
It can't be, is the short answer. But the way
that will be developed will be in a court of law,
in the court.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Of public opinion.

Speaker 9 (07:08):
The defense is saying anything and everything to corroborate their
case that there's consenting adults, nobody was underage, the women
were enjoying it. But remember that is all subject to
the kind of cross examination that would.

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Really just destroy a story like this.

Speaker 9 (07:24):
We're hearing a little bit of it already through the
civil cases that have been filed.

Speaker 4 (07:27):
We'll hear a lot more of it as the criminal
case begins to develop.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
And whatever the Wednesday Wendy second verse same as the first.
I don't believe I've ever had a rape case, whether
I investigated it, prosecuted it, or covered it where at
some point the defendant didn't say she wanted it. Yeah,

(07:52):
that's so tired, But that's what they're doing.

Speaker 9 (07:55):
Well, they have to do that here, because what are
the alternatives? I mean, these are things that a defendant
himself has talked about, has publicized, has has really used
to build his brand.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
When you look at somebody that has risen to fame through.

Speaker 9 (08:08):
Exactly these types of parties and who is feared and revered,
that's part.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
Of the problem and that's all they have right now.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Nancy Peacott just dropping a documentary called Diddy The Making
of a Bad Boy. What will it reveal? Listen? What
of working with.

Speaker 7 (08:26):
Kin started feeling it on the Lucius to do things
that were way outside Hull left through the club around
my house. And yet Larry Ka did who learn a
bad boy? Get and go reclusing girgs runing back to
the house.

Speaker 10 (08:46):
I don't know what they're really candidate.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Now, what you're hearing is a witness and it's also
a guest. In the Peacott documentary, he was having his
voice distorted out of fear of Sean Combs and what
are you saying? Right there? Comes send him up to
a club they pulled up on karaoke night, specifically time
for it to be karaoke knight, and Comes tells him, yeah,

(09:11):
put on the bad boy gear, bad boy studio gear,
and go recruit some girls that bring him back to
the house. Okay, this guy's saying, I don't know what
the real intention is. I think we know what the
real intention is. To Alex West joining US Entertainment Reporter
with the Mirror, Alex, thank you for being with us.

(09:32):
This documentary that just dropped is not good news for
Sean Combs. The States parsing it apart with a silver
knife and fork right now, looking for witnesses and evidence
like this guy that comes with send out to karaoke
Knight to bring back women to drug them and then
have them in free coughs.

Speaker 8 (09:51):
Yeah, the documentary is quite explosive. You have anything from
kim Porter being discussed. They bring in I'll be sure,
which is Quincy Brown's father, which is the son that
Didty kind of adopted. You have all these new voices
coming in who weren't speaking before. So it's definitely not
great news for Ditty in this narrative that he's been

(10:13):
running with.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
So Alex West, what are the revelations come out of
the documentary?

Speaker 8 (10:20):
Yeah, we have kim Porter's which is Ditty's ex who
is now deceased. Her diary is being looked at in
this documentary, and you know, she says in there that
she's considering blowing the lid off of the rapper's secrets.

Speaker 11 (10:34):
So that's very telling.

Speaker 8 (10:35):
She spent a lot of time with him, obviously, and
that's in that documentary, which is someone very close to
Ditty talking about his secrets that he has, and now
those secrets could potentially be coming out as allegations.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
Again, this documentary is so explosive that some of the
guests on the documentary, which our predictar going to end
up being state's witnesses, well, their voices altered. Listen, so
we're recording. Explain why you want your voice altered.

Speaker 12 (11:04):
I don't want to be on camera because Seana Combs,
for over three decades alleged lees had people hurt. So
to protect my life, my friends, my family, anybody that's
attached to me, I've chosen to remain anonymous.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
From Peacock's and Diddy, making him a bad boy.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Notorious rapper and music mobil Shawn Comes lawyers make shocking
claims amidst unending waves of sex assault lawsuits. Alleged victims
enjoyed themselves.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Joining us an all star pedal to make sense of
what we are hearing. Believe it or not, Shawn comes
as lawyers want the tapes, the freak Off tapes made public,
claiming that they show all the activity which is called

(12:04):
rape asotomy by the state, was all consensual. Now, when
you don't know a horse, look at his track record.
Remember that video, the hotel video of Cassie Ventura being
chased down the hall of a public hotel, then kicked
and beaten by Sean Combs, wearing nothing but a towel.

(12:25):
He didn't care, then dragging her back to the hotel room. Yeah,
he claims all of that activity is consensual. Okay, like that? Yeah,
he picks her up and drags her, oh one more kick,

(12:46):
drags her by her clothes and her hair back to
the hotel room. She says she was trying to escape
a freak off. She didn't want to be raped and
sodomized anymore much less on camera. This video is from
our friends at seeing it. There he goes stomping off

(13:07):
down the hall and wait for it, wait for it,
not done yet. Yeah, I'm glad that's not a close up.
Ow thoughing about one thousand dollars base to the wall.
Now I want you to hear the defense attorney claiming
that the Freak Cough videos show everything was consitual the
women wanted it. Listen.

Speaker 13 (13:28):
Attorney Mark Agniphilo is demanding that prosecutors hand over multiple
videos of Sean Combe's infamous Freak Offs, claiming the tapes
prove his innocence. Prosecutors have described the tapes as elaborate
and produced sex performances, but Agniphilo claims they depict private
sexual activity between Combs and Cassie Ventura, who, he says

(13:50):
quote not only consented, but thoroughly enjoyed herself.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
So I guess Rob Sheeter Shawn Combs no longer has
a PR team because no arguuru in their right mind
would want the Freak Off tapes to go public.

Speaker 6 (14:06):
Yeah, it's craziness. This strategy is absolutely ludicrous, But I
think a form of guest said this. He has nothing else, Nancy.
He's going to spend the rest of his life in
jail as more and more evidence comes forward. We know
that he might not know it or believe it yet,
but this is outrageous stuff, and so he is trying

(14:26):
to throw whatever he has whatever he can into the mix,
and this appears to be it this old, old story
that people enjoyed him, that they were begging for him
to abuse them.

Speaker 11 (14:38):
It's not going to work.

Speaker 6 (14:39):
It's a terrible strategy, and I think you've hit the
nail on the head. The people around him now are
not not pushing back or are not making good choices.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Okay, I hear Rob Sheeter're talking about good choices.

Speaker 14 (14:51):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (14:52):
You really really went down the rabbit hole on that.
I'm asking you. This is a PR nightmare. Why would
they want these tapes public? Or are they just bs
ing knowing the tapes will never be made public.

Speaker 6 (15:06):
They're doing what the king wants. Puffy is in charge.
He doesn't take advice from other people. He thinks he's
a genius and arguably.

Speaker 11 (15:14):
He's done pretty well so far.

Speaker 6 (15:16):
He's got away with a lot, including making up dollars
and so this is imp shooter.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
Have you lost your mind? He's sitting over at MDC
Metropart of Attention Center. What do you mean look at
him now? I'm looking at him now. And so far
his PR strategy has backfired.

Speaker 6 (15:35):
Now it has, Nancy, but this is relatively recent did.
He has been getting away with this for decades. For decades,
we've heard rumors about Puffy and now it's happening. What
happened for the last thirty years? Why did nobody speak
out then? And so I'm glad that it's happening now, Nancy.
But let's be honest here.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
He certainly has.

Speaker 6 (15:53):
Got away with this for a very very long time.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
I think it ends today.

Speaker 1 (15:57):
I think it ends well, you know what, Rob Shooter,
I'm stay in corrected. You're right, he's gotten away with
it for decades now. If I look at cases I've investigated, prosecuted,
and covered, very often, the cover up lends a nefarious
tint to what could be considered innocent. Take a listen

(16:20):
to this regarding the consensual freak offs.

Speaker 15 (16:23):
Philip Pines, a former personal lackey for Sean Combs, claims
in a lawsuit that he was tasked with setting up
for wild king knights at hotels, which involved bringing red lights,
ice buckets, alcohol, marijuana joints, honey packs for male libido,
baby oil, astro glide, towels, illegal drugs, and powered sex
toys to Combs's room for sometimes days long escapades.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
Pines says he was expected.

Speaker 15 (16:48):
To be on call for any additional needs during the exploits,
and Combs even pressured him to join. Afterwards, Pines was
charged with cleaning up the mess, deleting any incriminating photos
or video from Combs's devices, and leaving hotel staff large
tips to avoid paying extra bills for damages.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
You know, Bill Daily joining me former FBI investigator Bill,
When I check out of a hotel, I don't bring
in a professional cleaning crew to get rid of evidence,
do you. So, if it's not nefarious, if there's not
something wrong with it, why do you have to clean

(17:26):
it all up and get rid of it so nobody
sees it?

Speaker 10 (17:29):
Yeah, well exactly, Nancy. And also you know it's these
type of witnesses, and I believe that both we're probably
seen on videos from his homes and maybe surveillance video,
not just even the videos of the sexual escapades, but
also just who is in around his orbit. Plus these
people now speaking out in this new special that's come out,
These are all the people who are going to be

(17:50):
providing some compelling testimony around all these aspects. So if
they think that the videos themselves will tell the different story,
it's going to be these witnesses. It's going to be
these people who were maturely there, who would ask to
do things, who did things for him, that will pull
together this whole sordid story and perhaps be the compelling
elements of this trial.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Well, I can tell you one thing, Bill, If I
was arguing to that jury, I would ask them, do
you have to bring in a hitch person to clean
your hotel room and pay off the staff to basically
sanitize everything so no illegal activity can be proven? And
I bet they all will say no. But right now,

(18:30):
the defense for Shawn COM's very unwisely. In my mind,
maybe this is just a PR stunt and Shooter can
address that they are demanding the release and the publication
of the freak Off tapes. Maybe they know it will
never happen, so they can appear as if they want
it to happen, claiming they show Comms's innocence. This as

(18:53):
a bombshell documentary drops on Peacock the making of a
bad boy. But listen to the defense. Listen.

Speaker 15 (18:59):
The video have reportedly been kept under wraps protect venturers privacy,
with Combs's legal team only allowed to view them under
law enforcement supervision. Agnifilo argues that the video's existence directly
refused claims that Combs kept recordings as collateral because they
were not recovered from Combs's devices but from Ventura herself.
Agnifilo demands better access, claiming his team intends to create

(19:21):
trial exhibits from the videos to prove there is not
a hint of violence or corigion in the activities.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Really, okay, Karen start joining me, renowned psychologists joining us
out of Manhattan TV radio trauma expert, Karen, if all
of this was consitual, you know, the one thousand bottles
of baby oil, the videos that were then surreptitiously kept

(19:50):
nobody could see them.

Speaker 16 (19:53):
If all of that showed nothing but consensual sex activity,
why has a state brought multiple sex trafficking charges and
why are many of these.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Women suing him for rape? And Karen, just another question.
This is called a compound question under the law, which
is in missile in court. But we're not in court,
are we, Karen? How many times do you have to
hear another man charged with rape say it was it

(20:25):
was consensual as a matter of fact, she wanted it,
she enjoyed it.

Speaker 17 (20:31):
It happens all the time. I mean, it isn't that
a tired or really tired defense. And what I feel
about this defense team is that they must be desperate
if they're digging for something like this. I mean, there's
so much proof that they were not enjoying, they were drugged.
How can you say that these droaked people were enjoying

(20:53):
it and people are suing him for abuse. You see
the tape with Venturrea where he's a beating her, then
they're saying that she enjoyed it. Really she was trying
to escape, but she enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
It's a sham.

Speaker 17 (21:08):
Nancy, I really don't understand what that's about.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.

Speaker 13 (21:21):
Cassandra Cassie Ventura claims, in addition to physical abuse occurring
throughout their decade long on an off relationship, Comb's coerced
her to participate in what he called freakofs, which involved
Ventura having sex with male sex workers while Comb's watched, masturbated,
and took videos of the encounter. Combs settled Ventura's lawsuit
just a day after it was filed. The remaining four

(21:42):
complaints are still unresolved.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
As we go to air a bombshell documentary is dropped
by Peacock called Diddy The Making Up a Bad Boy.
Will any of these guests turn witnesses? Listen?

Speaker 12 (21:57):
I'm doing quite a while for a lot of moments.
It's been taking me.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
Ever to get back to my exact tone of not
getting it.

Speaker 7 (22:14):
As so much.

Speaker 12 (22:15):
I do know, I've seen this got to be very
very violent.

Speaker 6 (22:21):
I mean, i'd be crazy.

Speaker 7 (22:22):
He's just been getting away with it way for wrong.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Going to show you how we have fun to stay
out of jail too, have fun and stay out of jail.
That didn't work out. That's where our friends at Peacock
It's Diddy The Making of a Bad Boy straight out
to Alex West, joining US entertainment reporter with the Mirror,
You stated that there are allegations that emerge from the
documentary that Kim Porter did not die of natural causes.

Speaker 8 (22:50):
Yeah, so I'll be sure, shared his theory and his
belief that Diddy was dangerous at the time. He says
that Kim was actually trying to him meaning al be sure,
and that she was warning him about Ditty's potential danger,
saying that he would get killed if he didn't distance
himself from the situation. So i'l be sure thinks that

(23:11):
she was also in danger herself, although I will say
authorities have denied this, But that's a'l be sure's perspective,
that's his opinion, that's his speculation.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Well, the reality is kim Porter's dead. She can't testify
to what really happened.

Speaker 15 (23:25):
Listen, I'll be sure, who remained close to Porter until
her death in twenty eighteen, insists that Porter did keep
a diary and states as fact that she was murdered
before she could blow the lid off Ditty's secrets. Brown
even claims that Combs tried to kill him too. Brown
blames his twenty twenty two long term hospitalization and near

(23:46):
death on foul play, claiming he has a record of
those involved in his attempted murder.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Claims that kim Porter, the mother Shawn Combs's children, did
not die of natural causes. Well, again, if you don't
know a horse, look at his track record. Listen.

Speaker 5 (24:06):
Deal, who goes on to serve as combs bodyguard for years,
confirms that there was frequent drug use at Didy parties
and he often had a feeling Combs was roughing up
kim Porter. Deal claims he was once called to a
hospital as Porter's emergency contact and found her bruised and shaken.
Porter refused to discuss what happened. One of Deal's most
explosive claims that Combs could have been involved in Biggie's

(24:27):
death after learning his biggest star planned to leave Bad Boy.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Joining us. Rob Sheeter, host of Notty but Nice podcast
and for my purposes p R advisor to Sean Comb's.
Now we're talking about these revelations from Sure and wasn't
he married to kim Porter.

Speaker 6 (24:50):
Yeah, there's a lot of just chaos around Diddy, And
may I speculate that's it, Nancy, that what's going on
at the moment might just be the tip of the ice.
And did he seems to be the centerpiece of this
personal So I would not be at all surprised if
over the next few months, more and more evidence comes

(25:11):
out kim Porter died of very mysterious circumstances, And I
would not be surprised if that investigation isn't reopened. There's
a lot of ugly, messy, dangerous behavior around shorn CoP's.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Well, when you say kim Porter dyna under mysterious circumstances,
what do you mean by that she was very young
and healthy, wasn't she.

Speaker 6 (25:31):
Yes, she was in her forties and she had pneumonia
and diet and when this happened, her friends I spoke to,
several of them were just shocked about this. This was
a very wealthy, very well connected person. She was the
girlfriend of Diddy, she had his children. If there was
anything that was wrong with her, she would have had
the best medical attention in the world.

Speaker 1 (25:54):
So what happened.

Speaker 6 (25:55):
Maybe she did die of pneumonia. I'm just saying that.

Speaker 4 (25:59):
I think there's more to this.

Speaker 6 (26:00):
It was a very young age. It was very, very shocking,
and her friends have speculated for quite a while what
actually did happen.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
You know, I'm curious, Alex West. A lot of this
is emerging from the Peacock documentary, but the state can't
ignore it, just like Shawn Combs's case cracked wide open
after Cassie Ventura or someone in her camp released the

(26:29):
video Shawn Combs beating her in a public hallway. So arrogant,
I guess he didn't think anybody would notice or care,
and they didn't for a long time. Reportedly, hotel staff
bribed paid off not to say anything once that video
got released, the fan's nose was rubbed in it, and

(26:50):
then this indictment occurred. Now, this documentary is suggesting that
kim Porter did not die of natural causes. What do
you make of that? Do you believe in investigation will
be sparked because of this about kim Porter's death.

Speaker 8 (27:06):
So, while if the topic has been tiptoed around so far,
I will say this is not the first time kim
Porter's been mentioned in this series of lawsuits.

Speaker 11 (27:14):
She was mentioned in a civil lawsuit at one point
two where.

Speaker 8 (27:17):
A individual claimed that she was forced to have intimate
relations with kim and that there were drugs involved.

Speaker 11 (27:23):
That was the first real mention of her in these lawsuits.
And now you have this other topic coming out.

Speaker 8 (27:27):
You have this belief that Diddy might have killed her,
been involved with her death, and so there is a
chance that the prosecutors look into that. It's just difficult
because authorities have already ruled that there was no foul play,
but it's potentially something they could look into in the future.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Well, I think that there's more of a probability that
her death will be reopened. Wendy Patrick joining me veteran prosecutor, Wendy,
there have been many times that a victim was deemed
to have died of natural causes. I can think of
a lot of them. In fact, I remember one defendant,

(28:02):
Land Turner, and I investigated her case before I covered it.
She had a boyfriend and a husband keel over from
heart attacks. Wow, that's a coincydate right. Turned out that
she fed them poisoned yellow shots and then were a
mini skirt to trial. That didn't help anything, but their
deaths were deemed to be heart related. They weren't, Wendy Patrick,

(28:25):
witnesses have been knocked off since time immemorial. That's right.

Speaker 9 (28:29):
And you know the way we solve those crimes, Nancy,
is not through the witnesses themselves that lived to tell
the tale. Because they are so intimidated it's hard to
get them to come forward. We all know that we
normally find out about these from the family members of
the witnesses, from the family members of the victims, the friends,
the coworkers that concerned bystanderds and citizens that saw something

(28:51):
that made them uncomfortable and they felt they should report it.
Why wouldn't that be the same case here? That's in fact,
why we know as much as we do about and
you said it yourself. You said someone in her camp
release that tape. It is never the victims themselves. They're afraid.
We know that the documentary. Victims and witnesses have even
asked for their voices and their likenesses to be modified,

(29:14):
so there don't get the victim of retaliation. But this
will come to light through good investigation around the periphery
to find people that knew more and are willing to
step up and cooperate with investigators.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
The new documentary sparking speculation kim Porter was silenced before
she could reveal secrets about Sean Combs. Karen Stark recently
released was a book essentially made out of cam Porter's
alleged diary. I read the whole thing. In many instances

(29:48):
it seemed like there was a level of detail suggesting
it was true. Now family members insist kim Porter's book
was not her diary. Then who would have known all
of those details? Do you often have clients that keep
diaries that you end up relying.

Speaker 17 (30:10):
On, Nancy, I actually not only have the clients to
keep them, but I suggest that people keep a journal.
It's a really good way to empty your mind before
you go to sleep at night, to think about the
things that you're doing in your life. I have no
doubt that if they're saying she kept them, she kept
them and people saw them, and that is very frightening

(30:34):
for him, I'm sure, because she might have been really
about to expose him. This guy, let's face it, he's sadistic,
He's abusive and narcissistic, so he thinks he can get
away with anything.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Crime Stories with Nancy Graith as a bombshell documentary drops
about Shawn Combs. His defense team is arguing free cough
tapes really prove his innocence and that prosecutors are all sexist.
We'll see about that. In the middle of that debacle,

(31:18):
a victim comes forward claiming that Shawn Combs, in view
of others, raped her with a TV remote.

Speaker 4 (31:29):
Listen.

Speaker 18 (31:29):
An alleged victim of Shawn Combs speaks publicly about the
gang rape detailed in her lawsuit for the first time.
Ashley Parham, who claims Comb's and three other men assaulted
and raped her, and the presence of Comb's Enterprises chief
of staff Christina Korum, describes Colmb's putting a knife in
her mouth and threatening to give her a Glausgow smile.
Parham claims it was Koram who told Combs to stop,

(31:51):
asking him to refrain from damaging the merchandise. Parham shakily
recounts Comb's removing her clothing, scorting her with lubricant, then
using a tar be remote to rape her.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Straight out to Wendy Patrick, veteran prosecutor and author, joining
us she is the star of today with doctor Wendy KCBQ. Wendy,
what is a Glasgow smile?

Speaker 9 (32:11):
It's unfortunately something you see in the movies where you
get a.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
Real cut on both sides to make it look like
a smile.

Speaker 9 (32:20):
It's one of the things you normally hear about happening
in custody or happening in mayhem cases. You don't often
hear it happening during quote, consensual sex. And this is
part of the sort of the corroboration that's being provided
by these past incidents, unwittingly, no doubt, by those that
have been at these at these parties and are right
trying to make these things public.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
But it gets to be very very test A Glasgow
smile is like this, Wendy. It's when an attacker takes
a knife and cuts the victim's mouth from the corners
of the mouth upward toward the ears like the joker,
and they are forever left with a disfigured smile on

(33:05):
their face. Now interesting to Bill Day, former FBI investigator. Bill,
when a witness has a high degree of detail in
a statement, it makes them more believable. Right. This witness

(33:25):
states that comes threatened her threatened, giving her a Glasgow
smile before assaulting her with a TV remote. That's a
level of detail that I wouldn't expect for someone to
just fabricate, just pull out of the air. Yeah, you know,
Nancy and I both know.

Speaker 10 (33:43):
Is that certainly what detail provides some kind of essence
behind a validity of what somebody might be saying. However,
on the other hand, too much detail, which can be cooperated,
what perhaps can be dismissed because of someone's recollection or
remembering who was there and they weren't there they can
actually put in some other location at the time, does

(34:03):
provide some damage to those statements. So it is that
kind of balance between yes, believability with regard to the
amount of detail, but also not too much detail for
some of these witnesses where perhaps it will it will
be otherwise refuted by other.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
People, and we're really, how could I guess it's possible?
But is it probable that a female victim would make up,
fabricate that she was raped with a TV remote and
threatened with a Glasgow smile?

Speaker 10 (34:34):
Yeah, those type of details are all ones that you
feel very visceral, very reactive, and not ones that you
would imagine, you know, that would suggest that somebody was
fabricating it.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
And then Alex West joining me investigative reporter with the mirror,
then there is a whole let me just say, toxic
brew boiling with jay Z and Kanye. First to Kanye,
reports surfacing and headlines that Kanye is hiding out in
Tokyo to avoid coming back to the US while Combs's

(35:09):
case proceeds. What's that all about?

Speaker 8 (35:11):
So, Kanye has reportedly been away from his family, specifically
his kids, for I believe over one hundred days now.

Speaker 11 (35:17):
He's been spending a lot of time out in Tokyo.

Speaker 8 (35:20):
He's been seen by individuals out there, and he does
have involvement with these Diddy cases. He's allegedly a part
of these. He's named in these cases, and I've seen documents,
I mean, he has other cases outside of the Diddy
allegations on top of it, and I've seen documents of
individuals suiting him saying, hey, we can't reach him, We're
having trouble reaching him.

Speaker 11 (35:41):
So now summer morning, Like I.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Tell you one thing, Alex West, I guarantee you there's
one person that wants him to stay in Tokyo, and
that would be Kim Kardashian that said, we've got the
Kanye West case. Wait, Kanye West allegations brewing. All of
these people are presumed innocent until proving guilty a quart

(36:03):
of lock. But then we've got jay Z. Listen.

Speaker 5 (36:07):
Another shocking revelation in the scandal is Sean Ditty Combs case,
now officially including jay Z in a civil lawsuit. Sean
Ditty Combs and jay Z stand accused of raping a
thirteen year old girl at an after party for the
two thousand MTV Video Music Awards. The thirteen year old
at the time says she had been trying to get
into the VMAs by standing outside of Radio City Music

(36:29):
Hall and walking up to limousines that we're bringing guests
into the venue. It works as she is invited to
an after party by a limo driver who claims to
work for Combs. He tells her she fit what Diddy
was looking for.

Speaker 18 (36:40):
The Jane Doe is handed in a non disclosure agreement
to sign and a drink she believes is spiked. In minutes,
she hears ditty utter words she can still hear to
this day. The plaintiff claims Combs approaches her with a
crazed look in his eyes, telling her you are ready
to party.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Alex West the mirror explain to me how jay Z
has been raped into this.

Speaker 8 (37:00):
Yeah, so jay Z has specifically been named in this lawsuit.
He was always known to be a close friend of Deddy.
Of course, now he's saying that he wasn't involved in
this incident. He's also saying it didn't happen at all.

Speaker 11 (37:10):
He takes issue with the location, the timeframe. He takes
issue with the lawyer who's.

Speaker 8 (37:15):
On the other side of this case, Tony Busby, and
he even looks to other specific details that this alleged
victim is bringing out and saying that didn't happen.

Speaker 19 (37:25):
Combs allegedly planned and controlled the sex performances, which he
called freakofs, and he often electronically recorded them. The freakoffs
sometimes lasted days at a time, involved multiple commercial sex workers,
and often involved a variety of narcotics such just ketamine, ecstasy,

(37:45):
and GHB, which Combs distributed to the victims to keep
them obedient and compliant. As alleged, when Combs didn't get
his way, he was violent, and he subjected victims of physical, emotional,
and verbal abuse so that they would participate in the
freak offs.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Dozens of sex trafficking charges leveled against Sean Comb's aka
didty a Ditty said what Now, claiming that videos of
those so called freak offs actually exonerate him. Somehow jay
Z has gotten roped into this. Is he part of
it or not? In the midst of all that, a

(38:25):
bombshell documentary drops Listen.

Speaker 14 (38:27):
I am a civil litigator who has filed several cases
against Shawn Colms for sexual assault in civil courts. I
have been founding the law about mister Colms for years.
He is a man who has done awful things to hundreds,
maybe thousands of people.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
I'm wild, I'm crazy.

Speaker 4 (38:49):
I want to speak about this now because I've witnessed everything.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
I sha haven't send anything for so long, and it's
built up. It's been twenty years. I don't trust you.

Speaker 11 (39:05):
Because I'm afraid that they might come get me for speaking.

Speaker 8 (39:14):
That.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
For reference, at Peacock is called Diddy the making of
a bad boy. So jay Z and now maybe even
Kanye roped into this whole thing. How Kanye fits into this,
I don't know. I don't know any connection other than
he spotted at some of Seawan Combs's parties. That's not
enough to bring a case. But what about jay Z?

(39:38):
What is the latest regarding jay Z Alex So, the
story and.

Speaker 8 (39:42):
The allegation is that a young woman was at the VMA's,
was picked up right after party, was taken to a house,
and ste actually assaulted.

Speaker 11 (39:50):
That's her allegation.

Speaker 8 (39:51):
The latest is that, of course jay Z is denying this,
and on top of it, his attorneys are looking for
every single hole they can pick out of this story.
So they're looking at the location, they're looking at the
time for about whether or not the law is applicable.
They're looking at the celebrity guests that the girl has
supposedly and claimed she saw at the event and saying
they weren't there that year, claiming they aren't there this year,
and even looking at Diddy and looking at whether or

(40:13):
not his story is part of this, saying Diddy was at.

Speaker 1 (40:16):
The club with j Lo.

Speaker 11 (40:17):
So they're looking at every.

Speaker 8 (40:18):
Individual thing and making filings and really trying to get
this case to be sortid done with before it even
makes a trial.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
The last thing jay Z needs is to be part
of one of these freak coughs. His lawyer is vehemently
denying these claims. Listen.

Speaker 5 (40:32):
Jay Z's lawyer, Alex Spiro, has pointed out that Combs
does not and has never owned a home like the
one the victim described, especially not within a twenty minute
drive from Radio City Music Hall. Spiro also hunted down
Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden's whereabouts that night, while the
Jane Doe claims to have spoken with Madden at the
party record show. The band was on tour in the
Midwest that night. Spiro also questions how a child ends

(40:56):
up alone with the three most famous people in attendance
and a female celebrity would stand by as a child
is repeatedly raped.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
If you know or think you know anything about the
claims brought against Sean Combe's Here's a tip line one
eight hundred two zero zero seven four seven four repeat
eight hundred two zero zero seven four seven four. Yes did.
He has his own eight hundred number for victims to call.

(41:26):
But right now we stop and remember an American hero,
Corporal Christine Peters, green Belt PD. Marilyn killed in the
line of duty. Served twenty two years with Green Belt
PD and survived by husband now widower, daughter and son.
