Speaker 1 (00:00):
Caitlin's Entertainment Report and He's on the Fread Show. Yesterday
kicked off week two of Ditty's federal sex trafficking and
racketeering trial. Jury selection got heated right off the bat,
with the defense accusing prosecutors of racial bias, but the
judge said nope and finalized the jury. Once that was done,
the trial kicked off with opening statements and two key witnesses.
(00:20):
Ditty's team told the jury that he may have been
abusive in relationships, but they say he's not guilty of
what he's being accused of. They claim this is all
about money, jealousy, and revenge. Prosecutors, however, laid out a
really dark story that over two decades did he allegedly
turned his empire into a machine that included trafficking, drugging,
(00:41):
and abusing women. They focused on horrifying claims from Cassie
Ventura and another woman referred to as Jane, including drug
fueled freak offs that we've heard about, involving escorts and
violent abuse. The jury even saw that horrific video of
him beating Cassie in a hotel hallway, captured by hotel
staff and one of whom actually testified that he was
(01:03):
offered hush money in exchange for not releasing that video.
Did He also threatened to ruin Cassie's music career with
explicit videos allegedly and had an escort urinate in her mouth,
which was really hard to hear. Cassie is expected to
testify this week, by the way, and one BBC reporter
said that she experienced something with Diddy that she's never
(01:24):
experienced before. She said that he made sure to stare
at every single person in that courtroom, and she made
sure to clarify it was not him. Just like glancing
at people, he would lock in and stare at you
as if to memorize your face. It's creepy. Kiki mentioned
it might be intimidation, but it's I mean, ooh, it's
very eerie. This is crazy too. Tory Lanez was rushed
(01:45):
to the hospital after being stabbed in prison yesterday by
another inmate. Allegedly got stabbed fourteen times. The incident took
place during an alleged altercation in the yard of the
California prison where he is Multiple sources, including one in
law enforcement, said that he was transported in an ambulance
to the hospital after the alleged stabbing, which they claim
(02:07):
is not life threatening, although I mean I did hear
he got stabbed in his lungs and crazy. Remember Tory
is serving time after he was convicted in December of
twenty twenty two for shooting Meg the Stallion in July
of twenty twenty So it was a crazy news day.
And lastly, singer Zach Bryant is going through it. He
was spotted in New York rocking a huge black eye
(02:29):
amid his feud with singer John Morlands. If you missed
all this, By the way, Variety reported earlier this month,
and we also talked about it that Zach inked a
fresh new deal with Warner Records for at least two
more albums, and on top of that, he sold his
publishing catalog for three hundred and fifty million. But this
singer John posted on his own Instagram story after hearing
the news, writing three hundred and fifty million is a
(02:50):
lot to pay for the ef and off brand version
of me. Y'all have a great day now. I want
to point out I didn't know this John Moreland, so right,
and I just listened and they don't sound similar to me.
They're both like acoustic guitar singers. Zach responded, YO, just
saw this from an artist I've always respected and supported.
He pointed out that they've actually written and recorded a
duet together for his last album, and after the jab
(03:12):
he said he's pulling the track all together. His ex,
that one who was offered fourteen million to keep her
or sorry, twelve million to keep her mouth shut. That
Nda she got in the feud too, which of course
she did. She just posted a John Moreland song to
her Instagram story. So just a slight little shade, you know,
taking sides in the feud. By the way, if you
