Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, it's been revealed how much money Sean did He
Coombs paid to make that infamous hotel video of him
abusing Cassie disappear. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
For more on this this morning, we're joined by entertainment
editor Pete Ford. Look, Pete, this was revealed as his
sex trafficking trial in New York continues. What details did
we get?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Yeah into the fourth week now and one hundred and
fifty four thousand Australian dollars was the amount that was
handed over, thinking that that video was never going to
see the light of day. And of course that video
when CNN got it, has very much become the catalyst
for what is now playing out. So a man called
Eddie Garcia, who was a security guard at the time
(00:39):
at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles, got a phone
call from a woman saying, I'm Diddy's PA and we
would like to get that footage that was shot in
the corridor. Did his concern that it might look bad,
he was intoxicated, He'd like to get hold of it.
Eddie Garcia said, well, I can't do that. I can't
hand that over. There are multiple phone calls. The PA
(01:00):
then arrived at the hotel, asked to see Eddie again.
Eddie said, I'm not allowed to do that. When he
sent a report to his superior, the superior allegedly said, well,
let's hand it over for fifty thousand dollars American. So
that was then relayed to Diddy's assistant. Next thing in
our meeting was set up and Eddie turns up with
(01:20):
the much talked about videotape, goes to meet Diddy and
the assistant. Whereupon did he takes out a paper bag
with one hundred dollar bills in it totaling one hundred
thousand dollars and so like a fifty thousand dollar tip
just for doing the right thing. Now by this time,
did he's actually referring to Eddie as Eddie my Angel,
(01:42):
just to really endear himself. So as we know, that's
how the video was supposedly going to be buried forever.
It didn't work out that way. So that's why we're
at this point. Earlier in the day, lots of drama,
when a woman known as the MTA Lady because she
works for the Transport Authority in New York. She's been
in the court most days, but for whatever reason today
(02:04):
she decided to go ballistic and started shouting things and
had to be removed, which is a difficult thing to
do actually when you're in a federal building because of
first right rights, First Amendment rights, you know, you can't
just turf someone out for expressing an opinion. But they
did so. Yeah, a day of drama today for Diddy
and company.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Well, absolutely all right, Moving on, Megan markle Is interviewed
Tina Noles on her latest podcast episode.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yes, just like a bonus episode that she's decided to
drop on her Confessions of Female Founders and Tina Knowles.
Of course we had her on this show actually a
couple of weeks ago. She's really delightful and she is
playing an integral role in how her daughter Beyonce goes
about touring, and she's very much hands on. So she
is a businesswoman in her own right. And in this
(02:50):
I think the interesting thing and the clipp I'm going
to play you is not so much the advice about
date nights and take a breath, but the indication from
meg A Michael that the brand that she started up
just a matter of what two months ago, is now gone.
It's on hold. She's waiting to work at what to
do with it? So have a listened to this.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
I just picked these strawberries and it's so great. Look
I put a little bit of sugar and a Smyer
lemon and you try to scale that up. Yeah, and
you're wanting to manage expectations, but you want to share
the thing you've worked so hard on. And so for
me at the moment with as ever, it was great.
We planned, we planned for a year, we get and
then everything sells out in forty five minutes with yes, amazing,
(03:33):
great news.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
But Dan, what do you do then?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Are we going to replenish and sell out again in
an hour? Or is that annoying as a customer? I'm
looking at it.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Just pause.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Yeah, that happened. Let's wait until we are coming in
a weally stable.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
I got did the same thing. Thoughts that you need
to be consistent with. Are our foods that you want
to provide to your family?
Speaker 4 (03:57):
Just take a minute to breathe, enjoy it, go have
a we were deep.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Exactly.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Yeah, all our build up that went on for so
long and the products did sell out within the hour.
We don't know how many how much merchandise actually was
to sell, but it did sell out, and now it
looks like the whole thing's on hold. Very peculiar.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yeah, well, I always heard my kids with the lemonade stand,
don't try and scale up my lemons. Yeah, they're hard
to just get on mass. You just got to stick to
the average one. So she yeah, maybe she should have
thought about that.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
I'm not Seven's resident financial expert, but I would have thought,
if you're selling more, you buy more and then you
make more money.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Don't don't don't pull the threads with Megan. Okay, Chris,
this is what she's Yeah, exactly, she knows what she's doing.
Let's move on. Father and son Arnold and Patrick Schwartznegger.
This is really cute. Actually they've interviewed each other.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
What do they have to say?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
It's part of this variety sessions they do actors on
actors and as you say, so I actually really is cute.
So here we have a kind of the father and
son and for the son. For Patrick of White Lightest
of course has made him a big star in his
own right, and he has been around the traps for
many years doing bits and pieces. But you know, he did,
(05:14):
like a lot of children of famous people, It can
be a curse, It can be a blessing and a curse.
It can get you the audition, but you then when
you get the job. If you get the job, the
expectations are so much higher on you. So here is
a little bit about Patrick talking about the fact he
almost looked at the concept of not using that surname.
Speaker 6 (05:36):
There were times earlier in my career where I was wondering,
you know, does it make sense to go under some
sort of aliast Does it make sense to go under,
you know, a different name. Do I just use Schwarzenegger?
Does that add to comparison? It took a while for
me to get to a point where I was less
worried about like comparison and living in your shadow versus
(05:58):
me just wanting to carve my own path, slowly growing
my career over the ten years. And then you know,
you have a project like this that just kind of
makes it boom.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
I'm glad did you keep the name, because now I
can think of credit. Yeah, my son, the upper doesn't
fore far from the tree in ord those kind of
lines that I'm using now.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
And he actually said that, Mike White, you had the
final saying all the casting obviously was reluctant and really
hesitant about giving Patrick the role because of the surname.
But of course he took the risk and it's paid
off really well for vote parties.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yep, hasn't it ended. I think he's off on a
rapid rise now.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
I kind of wish he took the surname and the
accent and his life got to be something or pay something.
Well, it's been revealed how much money Sean did He
Coombs paid to make that infamous hotel video of him
abusing Cassie disappear. Yeah.
