Speaker 1 (00:02):
I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
You know, if you don't lie about that, right, Lauren
came in.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hey, y'all, it's Lauren l Rosa and this is the
latest with Lauren lo Rosa. Now, look, whenever we hear
on the pot, y'all know, I keep it really honest,
really real with y'all because this is where you get
your daily dig on entertainment news, pop culture, exclusive news.
But the conversations that shake the room. And if we're
doing the behind the scenes of the grind checking, man,
(00:33):
I'm trying to say a float right now. God is
so good and I'm managing everything. But y'all know, I'm
in court, which shakes up majority of my day, and
then I'm doing breakfast club, and then I got tall
to hear on the podcast, and yesterday I was really
sitting in court like, if I'm being honest with myself,
this case is over. Like, I how am I feeling?
I'm feeling like do I need to be in court
(00:54):
there every day? This case is over. I'm still gonna
go all right, you be telling me to be quiet
when you leave, I start talking again. I'm still gonna go.
But if I'm being you know, just transparent, I do
think that the government has established their case to the
point that they need to. So maybe it's the government
should rest at this point and Diddy team should come
in with their case because I'm very confused about what
(01:15):
that gives. So I want to have a conversation about
that because that goes into how I'm feeling today. I'm
torn in between the like, you know, of course I'm
gonna see it all the way through, but like, I
don't know, I just I'm a little tuned out, and
I know y'all probably are too.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
It's been Diddy, Diddy, Diddy do di Diddy? Diddy did
did That's a crazy look? Diddy Diddy did? Did Diddy?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
That could be a jingle? We should add that into
the intro tailor we should add that in. I know
y'all are tired of it though, and even if you
are not tired of the updates, I think at this
point even the most common person who does not follow
a law does not underscore standing court breakdowns. It's starting
to see the government really lay out their case and
(01:54):
it's strong right, it's not put you under the jail.
Strong in my opinion, but it is strong. So I'm
trying to figure out why the government is even still
bringing on witnesses. I think at this point we're just
kind of like beating a dead horse.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So let's talk about that a bit. Let's get into
it all right, y'all.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
If I'm being honest, I really don't understand why we
are still in court. I feel like I know Diddy's
team still wants to present their side, you know, like
their witnesses and their arguments and response to certain things,
and I actually would, honestly, So maybe it's not I
understand why we still in court, why the prosecution just
doesn't rest right now. I think at this point they
(02:33):
can sit back, they can let Diddy's team come try
and debunk whatever they want to debunk, bring on whichever
witnesses they want to bring on. But I really think
that we've established everything that we need to know and
understand for the charges that they are a legend. I
still stand by the fact that I don't think that
he is going to be under the jail the way
did they threw this out there when the indictment first came.
But he's definitely not going home. And I was that
(02:55):
for me was wrapped up with a bow. Maybe second
we could testimonies, right, But yesterday in court we heard
the final testimony cross testimony across interviews by Deontay Nash,
who is very close friends, best friends with Cassie Ventura
but also her stylist, and he spoke to a couple
(03:15):
of different things as well to.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Setting her up with Michael B. Jordan.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And you know, I think the defense was really trying
to poke holes in the fact of their friendship. Like, Okay,
so you've been friends with Cassie for all of these
years and for all of this time, but for years
she didn't tell you about these these you know, alleged
sexual encounters she was having, and she never said to you,
like basically, she didn't paint this full picture to you.
(03:39):
So how credible are you even here as a witness
as her best friend? And how credible is what you're
saying to us about because Deontay's whole thing was Cassie
had always said she didn't want to go to these hotels,
she didn't like doing certain things.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
She basically was like on this.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Like very high high, very low low ride with Diddy
because because she was in love with him, and she
e everything in her life was controlled and wrangled by him.
The defense attorney that was that worked for Diddy, that
was trying to, you know, cross examine Deontay Nash. I
don't think that they really had a And this has
been my thing with them the last couple days. It's like,
(04:16):
where's what's your focus? Like what is the point that
you were trying to get conveyed to the drawers because
I'm a normal person. I'm not a drawer, but I
am a normal person like a drawer, and I'm sitting
there and I'm like, I don't understand what he's trying
to get to. And the one thing that I feel
like he finally came around to, which was Cassie didn't
have any say, so she didn't have any power, she
didn't have a mind of her own, and debunking that.
(04:38):
They did a horrible job at it because every time
they would bring up okay, so Cassie was able to
make her own decisions, and you know, Deontay would be like,
I mean yeah, but at the same time, like I've
also seen Diddy allegedly be very violent with her. All
I understand at this point, like he Deoncey presented it
as the friend who you fear for your friend on
(05:00):
how bad things get for your friend and needs in
their situation. But it's like, what am I going to
do besides just be there with you, go through go
through the motions of what you're going through. Uh, you know,
there were certain times where he was telling cat like
there were certain times where even Cassie was texting him
like he's mad that I stood up for myself, talking
about Diddy allegedly right, and Deontay was like, on the stand,
(05:22):
Deonta was like they were reading a text and it
was about Cassie seeing how there was one time where
they flew into Mexico and Diddy allegedly was so pissed
off because she like posted something online or whatever it was.
She was standing up for herself in a certain situation.
And as they're reading the text message, Cassie's like, you know,
it's my turn to be a bitch like I. You know,
he's mad when he doesn't get his way, and I'm
(05:43):
tired of it and I deserved these vacations because of
what I went through. Deontay said, yes, Cassie on the stand,
like he's one of those friends that it's like, I
know what's happening.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
What am I supposed to do?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Later on in testimony after him with the woman who
testified as Mia, we also learned and Deonta talked a
bit about this about like the things that Deonta experienced
at the hands of Diddy and Cassie's relationship.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
With being you know berated verbally.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Mia testified and corroborated, you know, Deontay getting into a
physical altercation with Diddy, trying to basically save Cassie from
being physically beat by Diddy in her home while packing
for a trip. Me alleged Deontay came. I don't even
think it was that he came prepared. I think it
(06:28):
was more so of a this is my story, this
is my truth, and I'm sticking with it, and there's
nothing you're going to do to like rattle me, because
this was a real thing for us. They even brought
up text messages with Deontay where Deontay had text Diddy
and said things like, you know, text him on his birthday,
text him when kim Porter passed away, and there was
(06:48):
a conversation back and forth between Deontay and Diddy when
he texted them following Kimp Porter's you know death, just
checking it on him, and Diddy was asking him, like,
why you didn't tell me about the trainer. He like
the trainer, the trainer and my soldier boy Voye and
Deontay and the text said, look, Dan got nothing to
do with me. Don't do that. That has nothing to
do with me whatsoever. And did he was telling him like,
(07:09):
you know, if she ever needs anything, let me know.
So he was like that middle person. And to be
honest with you, I think anybody, any human being sitting
in that courtroom yesterday listening to Deonta and seeing how
the defense was trying to angle him as this person
who wasn't credible because Cassie didn't tell all her deep,
darkest secrets to him for some time, or because there
(07:29):
were there were like small things that he that I
think they brought up text message, like the conversations with Didd.
He like basically trying to establish that him and did
He had their own relationship and things of that nature.
None of that mattered, because what Deontay made it very
clear was when I would reach out to him, we
had our own relationship outside of that And even with
Cassie's twenty ninth birthday, did He planned her a surprise
(07:50):
dinner in la and Cassie testified that this surprise dinner
actually turned into her being forced, allegedly to go and
do a freak off that she did not want to do.
You want to just do dinner and then go do
karaokee with her friends because it was her birthday.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Deonta came in and.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Cooperated that talking about you know, hearing did he and
Cassie in a corner, and he alleges that did he
was saying, like, you know, you can't do this one
thing for me. He also alleges that you know he
had heard did he say that? You know that night
they were going to it was so funny. He was
like when he said that, he was like, your girl
gonna get some dick to night, and no whole court
(08:26):
was like but he Deonta as a friend, number one,
he was a great witness.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
He was very entertaining.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
But as a friend, he assumed that role that I
think a lot of people have had to assume at
some point in their life where it's like there's nothing
you can do to control grown people, especially two grown
people in love. Or in chaos or whatever that was,
and the defense couldn't there was nothing they could do
with it. And I think that they would have actually
been better leaving him and not asking Deonta certain questions
(08:57):
then trying so hard to get to a point that
they were feeling miserably to get to with him.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
But then we move into Mia.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Mia is a personal assistant, a former personal assistant of Ditties.
She also was the person who launched Revolt Films for him,
and she was the director of development for Revolt Films.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
And Mia is not her real name. She's testifying under
a pseudonym.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
And I just actually made a phone call to ask
y and I was told that it's just because it's
what she wanted and what she requested. The other witnesses
up until this point have not requested it, but her
testifying under a pseudonym meant that, like when I tell y'all,
they the courthouse was like if David saw you sketching
something while she was on the stand, they assumed that
(09:37):
you were drawing her face, and they would come over
and monitor to you and monitor to everything that you
were doing. Like they were so serious about making sure
that her identity and you know her infram it like
certain things just didn't get out. But they put me
on the stand after Deontay and they then began to
break down, like how she even got my notebook. How
she even began to work for Ditty. So she says that,
(09:57):
you know, she was a former employee of his. She
began working with him like very early, very young in
her career. She had had a couple other jobs prior
to him. She had worked for Georgina Chapman. She was
doing like red carpet like celebrity dressing. She had worked
for Mike Myers, the comedian as a personal assistant, but
she says working for Diddy between two thousand and nine
(10:19):
and twenty seventeen was probably one of the most She
described it as they had very high highs and very
low lows. She said that, you know, she was a
personal assistant prior to with Mike Myers, but they had
a set schedule. Things were, you know, ten to six.
She might have to watch his dog on the weekends.
And then she got with Ditty as a personal assistant,
(10:41):
and things were allegedly completely different, Like she talked about
one time not even being able to sleep for like
five days when she first started, because she was nervous
that she would get a phone call and miss something
and she would lose a job. One of the things
that I think the prosecution did really well with me
it was even though a lot of this stuff that
she was talking about we've heard her talk about multiple times,
(11:04):
they were able to really paint a more closer picture
on things that I think a lot of people are
brushing over and not understanding why we're even talking about. Right, Like, so,
they've talked to other personal assistants and previous employee employees
about just being overworked and being you know, allegedly forced
to do things work wise that they didn't want to do,
but they were scared to lose their job or their money,
(11:25):
or you know, be blackballed allegedly. So she talked about
from the jump her very first interview with Ditty. She
alleges that there was a woman who was the head
of HR and she had been you know, in conversations
prior to but her first in person interview. This woman
took her to Ditty's home to do the interview that
to me was already off. I'm like, why are you
(11:46):
interviewing somebody's house, So this is your first interview with them.
But I'm like, hey, I've not been a personal assistant,
so maybe that's the thing. But she says that she
went to Ditty's apartment and Diddy answered the door allegedly
in his underwear, and then the woman who was the
head of all of it HR for him at the time,
introduced them and then left. And I'm like, head at
HR introducing you to the person that you about to
(12:06):
work for who entered the door on the phone and
in his underwear.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It's very weird, but I already knew.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I'm like, okay, they're about to set the scene that
people were very complicit. People were they were okay with
the environment that was happening. So the environment got worse
from day one, and that's exactly what happened. She says
that they went through with the interview eventually did he
did put on some clothes, and then she got into
the job. She says her first week she worked insane,
(12:33):
had to switch areas. Guys, sorry, but yeah, so that's
exactly what happened. So then as Mia, it's talking about
you know, all of the you know, crazy work experiences, right,
like they asked her to describe the work environment, and
she said that it was chaotic, it was toxic.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
She alleged that, you know, it was exciting at.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Times, but because of the really high highs and the
really low lows, like it was just like, oh.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Like she went through so much. She alleged that she
had things thrown at her, that she was thrown against
the wall.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
She alleged that she was thrown into a pool. She
alleged that there was an ice bucket thrown in her head.
She alleged that her arm was shutting the door, and
then she also alleged that she was sexually assaulted multiple times.
I will say too this testimony, I think what went
into the emotion feeling of like, Okay, this is very emotional,
was the fact that normally with the rest of the witnesses,
(13:28):
even with Cassie, like she's looking up, even if she's
not looking at Ditty or the you know whoever's on
the stand, Even tho they're not looking at Ditty or
the other attorneys, they're looking at at least the attorney
that's talking to them. With Mia, with this witness, she
literally when I say she didn't say, she didn't look
up at all She did this the whole time as
she was talking. She would look up here and there,
and look, she was looking at the Florida the entire time.
(13:50):
She had a very shrinking, shrunken, timid personality. And then
she went into tears when she talked about the sexual assaults.
But yeah, I mean they were establishing the fact that
she worked a lot. She said that in the beginning
of things, you know, she was supposed to be paid
when she when she began at Revolt Films, or begin
(14:12):
Revolt Films with Diddy, she was supposed to be paid
a certain amount of money. It was like seventy thousand
dollars at first, and then it escalated to one hundred
thousand dollars, and then she was supposed to make bonuses
off of like the projects that they did. But she
said she never ended up getting any of the bonuses.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So that's all of.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Them establishing, like you know, the work environment thing and
the forced labor and bring it in the force.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
In that situation.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Because in listening to that, I promise you'all when I
was listening to the stuff that she was saying about
the labor things like as far as like she would
you know, be in a studio all night. She was
put on this trial period to see if it would
to be last because the job is so like tough,
so vigorous.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
She alleged that she would.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
At one point, she didn't even sleep for days at
a time because she didn't want to lose her job.
She didn't know if she was gonna be called, and
she would be sleep so she would miss the call.
When she was saying all these things, I'm like that
that reminds me of working in entertainment of fashion, Like
that's how my career started.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Granted I didn't, you know it, experience.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Sexual assault and you know those things, and I'm not
excusing that, but I'm talking about just the you know,
the hours that she worked, the fear of like, oh
my god, if I don't get this exactly right, my
whole career is over. And I'm sitting there, I'm like, man,
a lot of this, you know, did he made certain
decisions that have blended him to where we are today.
(15:28):
But we also should be having a conversation about just
the culture in general, and like where things where they
are now and where they should never get back to.
And I feel like we have had those conversations and
things have changed, but I do think that there should be.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
More onus on.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
What was acceptable during certain times as well too. And
it made me start thinking of, like, how will a
jury think about that? Right, because the jury is mixed
with different races, men, women, different age groups. So there
are younger people on the jury who will be like,
oh my god, working you know over forty hours a
(16:07):
week is insane. But there are people of a certain
age group where it's like, if you understood what entertainment
was and what that lifestyle is, like, a forty hour
work week is not even like nine to five is
like unheard of, Like I've never any job I've ever had,
I've never so And not saying all this to say,
cause its not about me, but I'm saying all this
to say, as a jury is breaking this down, there
(16:29):
are so many outside factors that you have to think about.
I'm really interested to see how they determine and what
things actually and I know, after the jury like comes
to their you know, answers and sensing is done. Normally,
what happens is you get a couple of juris that
do a couple of interviews following and when that happens.
One of the main questions that I would love to
(16:51):
hear and answer on is when you have factors like that, like, okay,
these are the norms then at that time, even if
they led to all of this horrible behavior, this is
what was accepted. But these are the facts of how
things were horrible, how much ways on. These are the
facts of what was horribly done to this person versus
what wasn't environment and culture that allowed it to happen.
(17:11):
Because basically, what Mia talked a lot about was people
being very complicit head to hr you know, overlooking things
when people would speak up. She allected to there was
a girl named Kayla, and this girl named Kayla, Mia said, look,
there was one time where Deontay Nash, who was Cassie's
first friend and stylist, Mia and Cassie because she says,
(17:31):
she got really close with Cassie, because she eventually became
the person that would have to go and like make
sure Cassie was okay when you know, when things would happen.
She alleged that like when you know Cassie would beat
up and put up in these hotels, she would stay
with Cassie, make sure Cassie was okay. They became really
really close.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
But there was a girl named Kayla who when Deontae
Diddy and.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Mia and Cassie all got into a physical altercation, Allegedly,
Diddy came one this was like a Sunday, I remember.
Cassie tests a fine about this. She said, it was
like a Sunday that went out like day party and
West Hollywood type vibes. And then they went back to
Cassie's home and she alleges that she was there packing,
and while she was there packing, she fell asleep, and
she alleges that Didd he was really upset that she
(18:17):
fell asleep, and that this was something that happened all
the time, like whenever she would fall asleep not be
entwer her phones. She alleged that did he would show up,
he would be upset, or he would send security or
like you know that type of thing. So Mia alleges,
did he shows up? When did he shows up? He's
pissed off. She alleges that then they get into a
physical altercation because he's allegedly beating the hell out of
Cassie to the point where he threw Cassie across the
(18:39):
room her head hit her bed and he Mia alleges
her head split open, and did he then instantly snapped
into like protecting mode, like, YO, call Kayla. Have Cala
called the doctor, say that Cassie was drunk, you know
it fell on her bed, and that she needs to
see him asap. So she alleges that all these things happened.
Right then, she alleges that that same Kayla person. Right
so now cal is aware of what's going on, she
(19:01):
knows what's happening. She's calling her doctors, she alleges. Mia
alleges that Kayla then went to HR and was like, Yo,
this is what's happening. It's not okay. Did he allegedly
put his hands on Cassie. Y'all need to do something.
Mia says that there was a whole executive level phone
call of like people in HR, people in leadership, all
(19:24):
of these people who got on the phone and had
a conversation about what she knew, what she didn't know.
And after that, Kayla was going and they were having
a conversation with me about how to deal with Kayla
now that she had alleged these things. And I'm like,
that's insane because at the same instance, Mia also alleged
that there was an incident with Kayla and her that
did He set to her like, yo, look because we
(19:45):
let her go.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
She's like she's a legend like that.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Diddy came to her and said, look, because we let
Kayla go, because Kayla saw what she saw. If she
filed a lawsuit, you're gonna have to testify, and if
you have to testify, here's what you should say. And
Diddy told her to allegedly did Het told her to
bring up the incident that happened between the two where
Kayla got a little bit drunk at work.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
She got aggressive, she put her hands on me.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It was a whole thing, right, And then the prosecution
acts like, well, was Kayla fired when she put her
hands on you and me?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
It was like, no, she wasn't fired.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
She just we were made to like go isolate together
and figure it out. But the minute that she complained
about Cassie and Diddy in the alleged physical abuse that
was happening, right, she gets fired.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
So me and was building this whole you.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Know, conversation and filling in more color to the narrative
of like when you were in this thing, this big
thing that they that they're alleging is happening with Diddy right.
There is no I'm getting out, There is no I'm
just walking away. There is no I'm gonna just go
tell HR or I'm gonna call the police, because they
(20:50):
unless there's.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
No real consequences.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Even when she talked about they asked about runners with
the police. When she talked about the three times she
was sexually assaulted, she says that she never made a
sexual advance on Diddy.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
She alleges that, uh, you know.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
DH, there have been many times where she would work
with Diddy in close intimate settings, like in his apartments,
in hotel rooms while he's in the bathroom, things of
that nature, and nothing had ever happened. So she says
she was really confused when the you know, these instances
went down.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
The first time, she alleged she was staying at his
house cause she was staying at homes a lot because
her job was so demanding.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Her job was his life. So she says that she
was at one of his homes and while at one
of his homes, she would sleep on a bunk bed,
and he came into the bed allegedly and like forced
himself on her, and they there was intercourse. The second time,
she alleges she was in a closet packing for him
and he came into the closet and.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Forced her to give him head.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
The third time, she alleges they were on a jet
and there's like a back area where he would stay
where Diddy would stay on the jet, like when he
was going to sleep, and there's a bathroom, but it's
like kind of in that back area, and she says
that she was going to the bathroom and he forced
himself in the bathroom Allegedly. She says she couldn't remember
the details of what happened after he forced some stuff
into the bathroom, and she said that there are many
(22:05):
other times, but she couldn't remember everything. And then they
asked her, like, well, why didn't you just call the cops.
Why didn't you tell somebody? Why didn't you leave all
the questions that you think as these things are being alleged,
And she's like and then they asked her, you know,
she's like, why would I call? Like you don't call
the police, And I'm like, well, what was your running
(22:26):
with Shawn Combs and the police, And she said one
time she was laid the work she was speeding, so
the police pulled her over, and she was mad that
Diddy was going to be so pissed off at her
for being.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Laid she was gonna get in a lot of trouble.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
So she alleges that she told the cop like, Yo,
this is gonna sound crazy, but Seawan Colmbs is my boss.
I'm rushing because I can't be late. The cop didn't
believe her, so she called Diddy. She says when she
called Diddy put Ditty on the phone. She lets the
cop fanned out so bad and she was like, go
with no ticket on nothing. And then she talked about
another time where they allegedly got pulled over. She said
(22:56):
it was her Diddy in the car and in the
truck sold.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Other people in the car too.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
She said they were either like speeding allegedly or like
driving on the side blind. There were not something they
weren't supposed to be doing in the car traffic wise, they
get pulled over. When they get pulled over, the cops
come up to the car, and she says they ran
down aggressively. She alleged to the cops were really aggressive,
but the minute they saw Diddy in the car, all
of that just changed. So she's like, you know, you
get in this system of things where it's like, who
(23:22):
are you going to tell? She honestly said, And this
was the first person that I heard talk about this, well,
my first, because Cassie also said that she was close
with Dee Rock and his wife. But Mia said that
her and d Rock got really closed, that de Rock
was like a brother to her because he was the
only person she could go to about the things that
she was witnessing and experiencing when it came to Diddy.
And yet they just they did the prosecution yesterday. The
(23:42):
government yesterday did a job of establishing here's what the
re establishing.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Because they've done it.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
And that's why I'm like, do we need the prosecution
the government to go anymore. They've done so much drilling,
drilling and dribbling drilling.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I think we got it. We get it.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I am interested. At first, I was saying, like, do
we even need to finish court? But honestly, I am
interested in seeing the defense present their case, like bring
whatever witnesses and things of that nature, because right now
I feel like that has to be strong in order
for that that whole of that whole reasonable doubt thing
to open back up, because right now it's like all
(24:19):
the pieces to the puzzle are there, honestly, but I
am interested to see that.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
And yesterday in court, Diddy's.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Team made it clear to the judge that even though
the government may rest their case sooner than they planned,
Diddy's team is not doing that. Diddy team is not gonna,
you know, rest sooner. They're gonna, you know, go all
the way unto the end date because they want as
much time as they can to present their case as
they should. I mean, the man is fighting for his
life literally, so as they should. But I think that's
gonna be the only thing to turn it around, Like
(24:44):
when you got a person understand saying, yo, we weren't
Cassie wasn't even allowed to go outside and enjoy herself,
sometimes without his sometimes allegedly without his permission at all.
She talks about her and Cassie having to sneak allegedly
to this Prince party like they were in high school,
and when they got there, Diddy popped up at the party,
not looking for them, but he just happened to come
through the party, came through the party, saw them. She
(25:07):
alleged he chased them out of the party, she ran
and hit in the bush Miya. She alleges Diddy got
the Cassie, had Cassie on the ground, was about to
go in on her right, about to beat her up,
and then she alleged that Prince of Security came and
stopped it. The Diddy seam has some work cut out
for them, But I'm interested to see it. Like, I'm
very interested to see what the what the fight back
is because I feel like in the beginning of this
(25:28):
they were doing so good at making you think, oh wait,
maybe it wasn't the way that it's been presented.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Now I don't feel like that everything has changed.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
So going back in court today, I won't be back
in court today but because I have other work obligations,
but court goes back up again today. They're gonna end
this is now week three. They're gonna end week three today.
They're gonna finish out. They're gonna do a cross examination
of the personal assistant who goes by the name Mia.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, so we'll see what happens at this point. Y'all,
y'all don't heard how I felt. I want to hear
how you guys feel.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Talk back, get online, at me, I'm Laura la Rosa everywhere.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
I want to hear from y'all. Every episode, I tell
y'all because I really really mean it.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
At the end of the day, you guys could be
anywhere with anybody talking about these things, but y'all choose
to be here with me, all one million plus of y'all,
and I appreciate that so much, so thank you, guys.
This has been the latest with Laura l Rosa. I'll
see you guys in my next episode.
I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
You know, if you don't lie about that, right, Lauren
came in.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hey, y'all, it's Lauren l Rosa and this is the
latest with Lauren lo Rosa. Now, look, whenever we hear
on the pot, y'all know, I keep it really honest,
really real with y'all because this is where you get
your daily dig on entertainment news, pop culture, exclusive news.
But the conversations that shake the room. And if we're
doing the behind the scenes of the grind checking, man,
(00:33):
I'm trying to say a float right now. God is
so good and I'm managing everything. But y'all know, I'm
in court, which shakes up majority of my day, and
then I'm doing breakfast club, and then I got tall
to hear on the podcast, and yesterday I was really
sitting in court like, if I'm being honest with myself,
this case is over. Like, I how am I feeling?
I'm feeling like do I need to be in court
(00:54):
there every day? This case is over. I'm still gonna
go all right, you be telling me to be quiet
when you leave, I start talking again. I'm still gonna go.
But if I'm being you know, just transparent, I do
think that the government has established their case to the
point that they need to. So maybe it's the government
should rest at this point and Diddy team should come
in with their case because I'm very confused about what
(01:15):
that gives. So I want to have a conversation about
that because that goes into how I'm feeling today. I'm
torn in between the like, you know, of course I'm
gonna see it all the way through, but like, I
don't know, I just I'm a little tuned out, and
I know y'all probably are too.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
It's been Diddy, Diddy, Diddy do di Diddy? Diddy did
did That's a crazy look? Diddy Diddy did? Did Diddy?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
That could be a jingle? We should add that into
the intro tailor we should add that in. I know
y'all are tired of it though, and even if you
are not tired of the updates, I think at this
point even the most common person who does not follow
a law does not underscore standing court breakdowns. It's starting
to see the government really lay out their case and
(01:54):
it's strong right, it's not put you under the jail.
Strong in my opinion, but it is strong. So I'm
trying to figure out why the government is even still
bringing on witnesses. I think at this point we're just
kind of like beating a dead horse.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
So let's talk about that a bit. Let's get into
it all right, y'all.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
If I'm being honest, I really don't understand why we
are still in court. I feel like I know Diddy's
team still wants to present their side, you know, like
their witnesses and their arguments and response to certain things,
and I actually would, honestly, So maybe it's not I
understand why we still in court, why the prosecution just
doesn't rest right now. I think at this point they
(02:33):
can sit back, they can let Diddy's team come try
and debunk whatever they want to debunk, bring on whichever
witnesses they want to bring on. But I really think
that we've established everything that we need to know and
understand for the charges that they are a legend. I
still stand by the fact that I don't think that
he is going to be under the jail the way
did they threw this out there when the indictment first came.
But he's definitely not going home. And I was that
(02:55):
for me was wrapped up with a bow. Maybe second
we could testimonies, right, But yesterday in court we heard
the final testimony cross testimony across interviews by Deontay Nash,
who is very close friends, best friends with Cassie Ventura
but also her stylist, and he spoke to a couple
(03:15):
of different things as well to.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Setting her up with Michael B. Jordan.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
And you know, I think the defense was really trying
to poke holes in the fact of their friendship. Like, Okay,
so you've been friends with Cassie for all of these
years and for all of this time, but for years
she didn't tell you about these these you know, alleged
sexual encounters she was having, and she never said to you,
like basically, she didn't paint this full picture to you.
(03:39):
So how credible are you even here as a witness
as her best friend? And how credible is what you're
saying to us about because Deontay's whole thing was Cassie
had always said she didn't want to go to these hotels,
she didn't like doing certain things.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
She basically was like on this.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Like very high high, very low low ride with Diddy
because because she was in love with him, and she
e everything in her life was controlled and wrangled by him.
The defense attorney that was that worked for Diddy, that
was trying to, you know, cross examine Deontay Nash. I
don't think that they really had a And this has
been my thing with them the last couple days. It's like,
(04:16):
where's what's your focus? Like what is the point that
you were trying to get conveyed to the drawers because
I'm a normal person. I'm not a drawer, but I
am a normal person like a drawer, and I'm sitting
there and I'm like, I don't understand what he's trying
to get to. And the one thing that I feel
like he finally came around to, which was Cassie didn't
have any say, so she didn't have any power, she
didn't have a mind of her own, and debunking that.
(04:38):
They did a horrible job at it because every time
they would bring up okay, so Cassie was able to
make her own decisions, and you know, Deontay would be like,
I mean yeah, but at the same time, like I've
also seen Diddy allegedly be very violent with her. All
I understand at this point, like he Deoncey presented it
as the friend who you fear for your friend on
(05:00):
how bad things get for your friend and needs in
their situation. But it's like, what am I going to
do besides just be there with you, go through go
through the motions of what you're going through. Uh, you know,
there were certain times where he was telling cat like
there were certain times where even Cassie was texting him
like he's mad that I stood up for myself, talking
about Diddy allegedly right, and Deontay was like, on the stand,
(05:22):
Deonta was like they were reading a text and it
was about Cassie seeing how there was one time where
they flew into Mexico and Diddy allegedly was so pissed
off because she like posted something online or whatever it was.
She was standing up for herself in a certain situation.
And as they're reading the text message, Cassie's like, you know,
it's my turn to be a bitch like I. You know,
he's mad when he doesn't get his way, and I'm
(05:43):
tired of it and I deserved these vacations because of
what I went through. Deontay said, yes, Cassie on the stand,
like he's one of those friends that it's like, I
know what's happening.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
What am I supposed to do?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Later on in testimony after him with the woman who
testified as Mia, we also learned and Deonta talked a
bit about this about like the things that Deonta experienced
at the hands of Diddy and Cassie's relationship.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
With being you know berated verbally.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Mia testified and corroborated, you know, Deontay getting into a
physical altercation with Diddy, trying to basically save Cassie from
being physically beat by Diddy in her home while packing
for a trip. Me alleged Deontay came. I don't even
think it was that he came prepared. I think it
(06:28):
was more so of a this is my story, this
is my truth, and I'm sticking with it, and there's
nothing you're going to do to like rattle me, because
this was a real thing for us. They even brought
up text messages with Deontay where Deontay had text Diddy
and said things like, you know, text him on his birthday,
text him when kim Porter passed away, and there was
(06:48):
a conversation back and forth between Deontay and Diddy when
he texted them following Kimp Porter's you know death, just
checking it on him, and Diddy was asking him, like,
why you didn't tell me about the trainer. He like
the trainer, the trainer and my soldier boy Voye and
Deontay and the text said, look, Dan got nothing to
do with me. Don't do that. That has nothing to
do with me whatsoever. And did he was telling him like,
(07:09):
you know, if she ever needs anything, let me know.
So he was like that middle person. And to be
honest with you, I think anybody, any human being sitting
in that courtroom yesterday listening to Deonta and seeing how
the defense was trying to angle him as this person
who wasn't credible because Cassie didn't tell all her deep,
darkest secrets to him for some time, or because there
(07:29):
were there were like small things that he that I
think they brought up text message, like the conversations with Didd.
He like basically trying to establish that him and did
He had their own relationship and things of that nature.
None of that mattered, because what Deontay made it very
clear was when I would reach out to him, we
had our own relationship outside of that And even with
Cassie's twenty ninth birthday, did He planned her a surprise
(07:50):
dinner in la and Cassie testified that this surprise dinner
actually turned into her being forced, allegedly to go and
do a freak off that she did not want to do.
You want to just do dinner and then go do
karaokee with her friends because it was her birthday.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Deonta came in and.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Cooperated that talking about you know, hearing did he and
Cassie in a corner, and he alleges that did he
was saying, like, you know, you can't do this one
thing for me. He also alleges that you know he
had heard did he say that? You know that night
they were going to it was so funny. He was
like when he said that, he was like, your girl
gonna get some dick to night, and no whole court
(08:26):
was like but he Deonta as a friend, number one,
he was a great witness.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
He was very entertaining.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
But as a friend, he assumed that role that I
think a lot of people have had to assume at
some point in their life where it's like there's nothing
you can do to control grown people, especially two grown
people in love. Or in chaos or whatever that was,
and the defense couldn't there was nothing they could do
with it. And I think that they would have actually
been better leaving him and not asking Deonta certain questions
(08:57):
then trying so hard to get to a point that
they were feeling miserably to get to with him.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
But then we move into Mia.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Mia is a personal assistant, a former personal assistant of Ditties.
She also was the person who launched Revolt Films for him,
and she was the director of development for Revolt Films.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
And Mia is not her real name. She's testifying under
a pseudonym.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
And I just actually made a phone call to ask
y and I was told that it's just because it's
what she wanted and what she requested. The other witnesses
up until this point have not requested it, but her
testifying under a pseudonym meant that, like when I tell y'all,
they the courthouse was like if David saw you sketching
something while she was on the stand, they assumed that
(09:37):
you were drawing her face, and they would come over
and monitor to you and monitor to everything that you
were doing. Like they were so serious about making sure
that her identity and you know her infram it like
certain things just didn't get out. But they put me
on the stand after Deontay and they then began to
break down, like how she even got my notebook. How
she even began to work for Ditty. So she says that,
(09:57):
you know, she was a former employee of his. She
began working with him like very early, very young in
her career. She had had a couple other jobs prior
to him. She had worked for Georgina Chapman. She was
doing like red carpet like celebrity dressing. She had worked
for Mike Myers, the comedian as a personal assistant, but
she says working for Diddy between two thousand and nine
(10:19):
and twenty seventeen was probably one of the most She
described it as they had very high highs and very
low lows. She said that, you know, she was a
personal assistant prior to with Mike Myers, but they had
a set schedule. Things were, you know, ten to six.
She might have to watch his dog on the weekends.
And then she got with Ditty as a personal assistant,
(10:41):
and things were allegedly completely different, Like she talked about
one time not even being able to sleep for like
five days when she first started, because she was nervous
that she would get a phone call and miss something
and she would lose a job. One of the things
that I think the prosecution did really well with me
it was even though a lot of this stuff that
she was talking about we've heard her talk about multiple times,
(11:04):
they were able to really paint a more closer picture
on things that I think a lot of people are
brushing over and not understanding why we're even talking about. Right, Like, so,
they've talked to other personal assistants and previous employee employees
about just being overworked and being you know, allegedly forced
to do things work wise that they didn't want to do,
but they were scared to lose their job or their money,
(11:25):
or you know, be blackballed allegedly. So she talked about
from the jump her very first interview with Ditty. She
alleges that there was a woman who was the head
of HR and she had been you know, in conversations
prior to but her first in person interview. This woman
took her to Ditty's home to do the interview that
to me was already off. I'm like, why are you
(11:46):
interviewing somebody's house, So this is your first interview with them.
But I'm like, hey, I've not been a personal assistant,
so maybe that's the thing. But she says that she
went to Ditty's apartment and Diddy answered the door allegedly
in his underwear, and then the woman who was the
head of all of it HR for him at the time,
introduced them and then left. And I'm like, head at
HR introducing you to the person that you about to
(12:06):
work for who entered the door on the phone and
in his underwear.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It's very weird, but I already knew.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I'm like, okay, they're about to set the scene that
people were very complicit. People were they were okay with
the environment that was happening. So the environment got worse
from day one, and that's exactly what happened. She says
that they went through with the interview eventually did he
did put on some clothes, and then she got into
the job. She says her first week she worked insane,
(12:33):
had to switch areas. Guys, sorry, but yeah, so that's
exactly what happened. So then as Mia, it's talking about
you know, all of the you know, crazy work experiences, right,
like they asked her to describe the work environment, and
she said that it was chaotic, it was toxic.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
She alleged that, you know, it was exciting at.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Times, but because of the really high highs and the
really low lows, like it was just like, oh.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Like she went through so much. She alleged that she
had things thrown at her, that she was thrown against
the wall.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
She alleged that she was thrown into a pool. She
alleged that there was an ice bucket thrown in her head.
She alleged that her arm was shutting the door, and
then she also alleged that she was sexually assaulted multiple times.
I will say too this testimony, I think what went
into the emotion feeling of like, Okay, this is very emotional,
was the fact that normally with the rest of the witnesses,
(13:28):
even with Cassie, like she's looking up, even if she's
not looking at Ditty or the you know whoever's on
the stand, Even tho they're not looking at Ditty or
the other attorneys, they're looking at at least the attorney
that's talking to them. With Mia, with this witness, she
literally when I say she didn't say, she didn't look
up at all She did this the whole time as
she was talking. She would look up here and there,
and look, she was looking at the Florida the entire time.
(13:50):
She had a very shrinking, shrunken, timid personality. And then
she went into tears when she talked about the sexual assaults.
But yeah, I mean they were establishing the fact that
she worked a lot. She said that in the beginning
of things, you know, she was supposed to be paid
when she when she began at Revolt Films, or begin
(14:12):
Revolt Films with Diddy, she was supposed to be paid
a certain amount of money. It was like seventy thousand
dollars at first, and then it escalated to one hundred
thousand dollars, and then she was supposed to make bonuses
off of like the projects that they did. But she
said she never ended up getting any of the bonuses.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So that's all of.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Them establishing, like you know, the work environment thing and
the forced labor and bring it in the force.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
In that situation.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Because in listening to that, I promise you'all when I
was listening to the stuff that she was saying about
the labor things like as far as like she would
you know, be in a studio all night. She was
put on this trial period to see if it would
to be last because the job is so like tough,
so vigorous.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
She alleged that she would.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
At one point, she didn't even sleep for days at
a time because she didn't want to lose her job.
She didn't know if she was gonna be called, and
she would be sleep so she would miss the call.
When she was saying all these things, I'm like that
that reminds me of working in entertainment of fashion, Like
that's how my career started.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Granted I didn't, you know it, experience.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Sexual assault and you know those things, and I'm not
excusing that, but I'm talking about just the you know,
the hours that she worked, the fear of like, oh
my god, if I don't get this exactly right, my
whole career is over. And I'm sitting there, I'm like, man,
a lot of this, you know, did he made certain
decisions that have blended him to where we are today.
(15:28):
But we also should be having a conversation about just
the culture in general, and like where things where they
are now and where they should never get back to.
And I feel like we have had those conversations and
things have changed, but I do think that there should be.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
More onus on.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
What was acceptable during certain times as well too. And
it made me start thinking of, like, how will a
jury think about that? Right, because the jury is mixed
with different races, men, women, different age groups. So there
are younger people on the jury who will be like,
oh my god, working you know over forty hours a
(16:07):
week is insane. But there are people of a certain
age group where it's like, if you understood what entertainment
was and what that lifestyle is, like, a forty hour
work week is not even like nine to five is
like unheard of, Like I've never any job I've ever had,
I've never so And not saying all this to say,
cause its not about me, but I'm saying all this
to say, as a jury is breaking this down, there
(16:29):
are so many outside factors that you have to think about.
I'm really interested to see how they determine and what
things actually and I know, after the jury like comes
to their you know, answers and sensing is done. Normally,
what happens is you get a couple of juris that
do a couple of interviews following and when that happens.
One of the main questions that I would love to
(16:51):
hear and answer on is when you have factors like that, like, okay,
these are the norms then at that time, even if
they led to all of this horrible behavior, this is
what was accepted. But these are the facts of how
things were horrible, how much ways on. These are the
facts of what was horribly done to this person versus
what wasn't environment and culture that allowed it to happen.
(17:11):
Because basically, what Mia talked a lot about was people
being very complicit head to hr you know, overlooking things
when people would speak up. She allected to there was
a girl named Kayla, and this girl named Kayla, Mia said, look,
there was one time where Deontay Nash, who was Cassie's
first friend and stylist, Mia and Cassie because she says,
(17:31):
she got really close with Cassie, because she eventually became
the person that would have to go and like make
sure Cassie was okay when you know, when things would happen.
She alleged that like when you know Cassie would beat
up and put up in these hotels, she would stay
with Cassie, make sure Cassie was okay. They became really
really close.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
But there was a girl named Kayla who when Deontae
Diddy and.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Mia and Cassie all got into a physical altercation, Allegedly,
Diddy came one this was like a Sunday, I remember.
Cassie tests a fine about this. She said, it was
like a Sunday that went out like day party and
West Hollywood type vibes. And then they went back to
Cassie's home and she alleges that she was there packing,
and while she was there packing, she fell asleep, and
she alleges that Didd he was really upset that she
(18:17):
fell asleep, and that this was something that happened all
the time, like whenever she would fall asleep not be
entwer her phones. She alleged that did he would show up,
he would be upset, or he would send security or
like you know that type of thing. So Mia alleges,
did he shows up? When did he shows up? He's
pissed off. She alleges that then they get into a
physical altercation because he's allegedly beating the hell out of
Cassie to the point where he threw Cassie across the
(18:39):
room her head hit her bed and he Mia alleges
her head split open, and did he then instantly snapped
into like protecting mode, like, YO, call Kayla. Have Cala
called the doctor, say that Cassie was drunk, you know
it fell on her bed, and that she needs to
see him asap. So she alleges that all these things happened.
Right then, she alleges that that same Kayla person. Right
so now cal is aware of what's going on, she
(19:01):
knows what's happening. She's calling her doctors, she alleges. Mia
alleges that Kayla then went to HR and was like, Yo,
this is what's happening. It's not okay. Did he allegedly
put his hands on Cassie. Y'all need to do something.
Mia says that there was a whole executive level phone
call of like people in HR, people in leadership, all
(19:24):
of these people who got on the phone and had
a conversation about what she knew, what she didn't know.
And after that, Kayla was going and they were having
a conversation with me about how to deal with Kayla
now that she had alleged these things. And I'm like,
that's insane because at the same instance, Mia also alleged
that there was an incident with Kayla and her that
did He set to her like, yo, look because we
(19:45):
let her go.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
She's like she's a legend like that.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Diddy came to her and said, look, because we let
Kayla go, because Kayla saw what she saw. If she
filed a lawsuit, you're gonna have to testify, and if
you have to testify, here's what you should say. And
Diddy told her to allegedly did Het told her to
bring up the incident that happened between the two where
Kayla got a little bit drunk at work.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
She got aggressive, she put her hands on me.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
It was a whole thing, right, And then the prosecution
acts like, well, was Kayla fired when she put her
hands on you and me?
Speaker 2 (20:14):
It was like, no, she wasn't fired.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
She just we were made to like go isolate together
and figure it out. But the minute that she complained
about Cassie and Diddy in the alleged physical abuse that
was happening, right, she gets fired.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
So me and was building this whole you.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Know, conversation and filling in more color to the narrative
of like when you were in this thing, this big
thing that they that they're alleging is happening with Diddy right.
There is no I'm getting out, There is no I'm
just walking away. There is no I'm gonna just go
tell HR or I'm gonna call the police, because they
(20:50):
unless there's.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
No real consequences.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Even when she talked about they asked about runners with
the police. When she talked about the three times she
was sexually assaulted, she says that she never made a
sexual advance on Diddy.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
She alleges that, uh, you know.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
DH, there have been many times where she would work
with Diddy in close intimate settings, like in his apartments,
in hotel rooms while he's in the bathroom, things of
that nature, and nothing had ever happened. So she says
she was really confused when the you know, these instances
went down.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
The first time, she alleged she was staying at his
house cause she was staying at homes a lot because
her job was so demanding.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Her job was his life. So she says that she
was at one of his homes and while at one
of his homes, she would sleep on a bunk bed,
and he came into the bed allegedly and like forced
himself on her, and they there was intercourse. The second time,
she alleges she was in a closet packing for him
and he came into the closet and.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Forced her to give him head.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
The third time, she alleges they were on a jet
and there's like a back area where he would stay
where Diddy would stay on the jet, like when he
was going to sleep, and there's a bathroom, but it's
like kind of in that back area, and she says
that she was going to the bathroom and he forced
himself in the bathroom Allegedly. She says she couldn't remember
the details of what happened after he forced some stuff
into the bathroom, and she said that there are many
(22:05):
other times, but she couldn't remember everything. And then they
asked her, like, well, why didn't you just call the cops.
Why didn't you tell somebody? Why didn't you leave all
the questions that you think as these things are being alleged,
And she's like and then they asked her, you know,
she's like, why would I call? Like you don't call
the police, And I'm like, well, what was your running
(22:26):
with Shawn Combs and the police, And she said one
time she was laid the work she was speeding, so
the police pulled her over, and she was mad that
Diddy was going to be so pissed off at her
for being.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Laid she was gonna get in a lot of trouble.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
So she alleges that she told the cop like, Yo,
this is gonna sound crazy, but Seawan Colmbs is my boss.
I'm rushing because I can't be late. The cop didn't
believe her, so she called Diddy. She says when she
called Diddy put Ditty on the phone. She lets the
cop fanned out so bad and she was like, go
with no ticket on nothing. And then she talked about
another time where they allegedly got pulled over. She said
(22:56):
it was her Diddy in the car and in the
truck sold.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Other people in the car too.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
She said they were either like speeding allegedly or like
driving on the side blind. There were not something they
weren't supposed to be doing in the car traffic wise, they
get pulled over. When they get pulled over, the cops
come up to the car, and she says they ran
down aggressively. She alleged to the cops were really aggressive,
but the minute they saw Diddy in the car, all
of that just changed. So she's like, you know, you
get in this system of things where it's like, who
(23:22):
are you going to tell? She honestly said, And this
was the first person that I heard talk about this, well,
my first, because Cassie also said that she was close
with Dee Rock and his wife. But Mia said that
her and d Rock got really closed, that de Rock
was like a brother to her because he was the
only person she could go to about the things that
she was witnessing and experiencing when it came to Diddy.
And yet they just they did the prosecution yesterday. The
(23:42):
government yesterday did a job of establishing here's what the
re establishing.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Because they've done it.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
And that's why I'm like, do we need the prosecution
the government to go anymore. They've done so much drilling,
drilling and dribbling drilling.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
I think we got it. We get it.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
I am interested. At first, I was saying, like, do
we even need to finish court? But honestly, I am
interested in seeing the defense present their case, like bring
whatever witnesses and things of that nature, because right now
I feel like that has to be strong in order
for that that whole of that whole reasonable doubt thing
to open back up, because right now it's like all
(24:19):
the pieces to the puzzle are there, honestly, but I
am interested to see that.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
And yesterday in court, Diddy's.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Team made it clear to the judge that even though
the government may rest their case sooner than they planned,
Diddy's team is not doing that. Diddy team is not gonna,
you know, rest sooner. They're gonna, you know, go all
the way unto the end date because they want as
much time as they can to present their case as
they should. I mean, the man is fighting for his
life literally, so as they should. But I think that's
gonna be the only thing to turn it around, Like
(24:44):
when you got a person understand saying, yo, we weren't
Cassie wasn't even allowed to go outside and enjoy herself,
sometimes without his sometimes allegedly without his permission at all.
She talks about her and Cassie having to sneak allegedly
to this Prince party like they were in high school,
and when they got there, Diddy popped up at the party,
not looking for them, but he just happened to come
through the party, came through the party, saw them. She
(25:07):
alleged he chased them out of the party, she ran
and hit in the bush Miya. She alleges Diddy got
the Cassie, had Cassie on the ground, was about to
go in on her right, about to beat her up,
and then she alleged that Prince of Security came and
stopped it. The Diddy seam has some work cut out
for them, But I'm interested to see it. Like, I'm
very interested to see what the what the fight back
is because I feel like in the beginning of this
(25:28):
they were doing so good at making you think, oh wait,
maybe it wasn't the way that it's been presented.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Now I don't feel like that everything has changed.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
So going back in court today, I won't be back
in court today but because I have other work obligations,
but court goes back up again today. They're gonna end
this is now week three. They're gonna end week three today.
They're gonna finish out. They're gonna do a cross examination
of the personal assistant who goes by the name Mia.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Yeah, so we'll see what happens at this point. Y'all,
y'all don't heard how I felt. I want to hear
how you guys feel.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
