Jewist.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
You don't know if you don't lie about that, right, Laurie came, Hey, y'all,
what's up.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
It's lorn de Rosa and this is the Latest with
Lauren de Rosa. This is your daily dig on all
things pop culture, entertainment, news, and all of the conversations
that shake the room. Now getting on into the latest,
we have Beyonce, Queen be herself, mother, Beyonce.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
All the things, all the things.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Okay, one's in a huge congratulations to Beyonce because Beyonce
has won her first Primetime Emmy for Beyonce Bolt. So
she is on her way to egot status. E got status,
for those of you who do not know, is when
you have an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a
Tony Award and Beyonce. Let me double check. I believe
Beyonce has everything except for Tony. Okay, yeah, so Beyonce
(00:56):
of course. Well I just told you guys that she
has the Emmy that she just won for Beyonce Bowl.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Beyonce won the Emmy as.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
A costume designer for her her Netflix special Beyonce Bowl.
In the category of Outstanding Costumes for Variety, non Fiction
or Reality program She won alongside other costume designers like
Shewna Terinni. Mind you, let me tell y'all about Shiona Tarinni.
I interned at Costume Politan magazine while she Ona Tarini
was there. She was lead market editor at the time.
(01:25):
Sheiona has always been fired, but she's come on with
Beyonce as a costume designer. I like to say sometimes
that she kind of does creative direction as well, because
all of the pieces that she brings into a lot
of the various things that you see Beyonce in when
she's performing and she's doing certain things are she on
a Tarinni, But they tell a story. So I love
(01:46):
you know when I wouldn't even call her a stylist.
Costume designers, wardrobe people act as creative directors. And the
reason why I say act as creative directors is because
the clothing tells stories. And I think when you are
creative director and I think, but I know when you're
a creative director, that is your job. Essentially, you want
to be able to tell stories and convey in a
(02:07):
way that the audience picks up on it. It's creatively done,
it's sharp, it's concise, it's exactly what the client or
the talent needs, and Shehiona is fired. That's I wanted
to give her that moment. But so Beyonce is nominated
next to Shona Tarini, her assistant costume designers Erica Reis
and Molly Peters, costume supervisor Chelsea Stable, and Head of
Workroom Timothy Wright. Now, the awards will be presented at
(02:29):
the seventy seventh Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which will take
place at the Peacock Theory in la It'll be a
two night adventus by September sixth and ends on September seventh. Now,
they do have an edited version of the awards ceremony
that will air on September thirteenth at eight pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Time on XX.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
So Beyonce is a part of the juried category for
this Emmy Award, so that basically means that she's not
up against other people in this category.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
And they pick and they vote. There's a panel of people.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
The panel people, they sit, they evaluate and then they
just say yes, this person has it, and then it's
given to that person after the vote and after the conversations.
The professionals on the panel are people that are your peers.
So these are people in this selected industry, so probably
other people who worked in the costume design department, you know,
the non fictional storytelling department, things that are very relevant
(03:21):
to who the person is and what the art is
that they are discussing or deciding upon. The jury category
is a one step process. As I mentioned, there are
no nominees, but there is a voting procedure, so they vote,
you know, on whether or not you deserve the award.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Beyonce took it Home.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Deliberations include an open discussion of each entrance work with
a thorough review of the merits awarding the Emmy. Now,
Beyonce is also nominated for two other categories within this
Emmy's pool. In relation to Beyonce Vote so, she's also
nominated for Outstanding Variety Special Live as a Performer and
(03:59):
executiveroducer her in out Singing Directing for a Variety Special.
So Beyonce has won thirty five Grammys, more than anybody
in history as we know. She received an Oscar nomination
for Best Original Song in twenty twenty two for co
writing be Alive for King Richard with Dyson, So that
puts her halfway to Egot's status. Now let's talk a
(04:21):
little bit about Beyonce Bowl. So you guys remember Beyonce Bowl.
I hope you remember Beyonce Bowl. It streamed on Netflix.
It was a Christmas special that Beyonce did. She was
in her hometown and she performed Cowboy Carter's album live
for an audience for the first time. So she did
a metally of a bunch of different songs from the album.
It was special because you know, not only was it
(04:42):
in her hometown, not only was it Christmas. Netflix had
never really seen anything like this, but she also broke records.
She pulled in twenty seven million viewers with Beyonce Bowl.
And y'all remember they tried to shut our girl out
of the Country Music Awards. Now, let's talk a little
bit about what Beyonce was able to accomplish. I want
to just say, in comparison to the twenty seven million
(05:04):
views that Beyonce received, a report on hype Bay's website
says that in twenty twenty four, the CMA's only pulled
in six point eight million viewers. Okay, Clockett, that's what
it's called when like maybe saying, God prepared a table
right in front of your enemies a spread. Okay, God
(05:24):
prepared a spread for Beyonce right in front of her enemies,
because not only did she break records with Beyonce Bowl
performing that country music album that the Cmas did not
even want a lot of people in the country music
world didn't want to even admit was a country music album.
They said, Beyonce need to learn the ropes a bit,
throw herself into the country music world a bit. But
(05:45):
Beyonce has talked a lot about growing up in Houston,
Texas and how music and country music influenced her. Even
though the music she was making a lot of people
wouldn't have deemed country music. Even with Cowboy Carter, a
lot of the songs on that album, people still argued
weren't country songs because of various things God prepared at
the table for you in front of the enemy. Okay,
(06:07):
Beyonce is she is the mascot of that now, Beyonce.
Bat was a psight to see, you know, for the
country music people to be telling Beyonce, staying your place,
this is not your world.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Beyonce has used.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
This moment in history with all of the strides that
she has been able to make with Cowboy Carter to
really teach people, and Beyonce does that a lot, All
great artists do.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Beyonce does that a ton.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
But during Cowboy Carter, she was able to, you know,
in homage to Western and rodeo culture. She was able
to showcase a lot of people in front of twenty
seven million people, essentially because you could go back and
stream it again and again and again on Netflix. So
she brought out Mexican cowgirl Melanie Rivera. She also brought
out bill bull riding legend Murdis Ditman Junior, known as
(06:54):
the Jackie Robinson of rodeo. She brought out Miss Rodeo
Texas Princess two thousand and four, brought out Miss Rodeo
Texas twenty fifteen, Nikki Woodward. She also brought out the
first black Rodeo queen in Arkansas, Jadea Jediah's Heart from
Saying any Wrong, Kersh. Beyonce did the same thing even
on the Cowboy album Cowboy carda album she you know,
(07:17):
gave a lot of country music artists spotlight. Even in
talking about the album, even and going on tour, she
gave a lot of people's spotlight, and I think that's
what it's all about. And I think that's why we
keep seeing Beyonce be so blessed, is because it's not
just about Beyonce, even though it is, even though this
is Beyonce's Internet that we be on and all that, right,
(07:38):
it's not just about her in her career. And I
think that's why we keep seeing her break these strides
and every single time there's opposition. Whenever the ops pull
up Beyonce go somewhere, she sit back, pull out the
lemonade braids and be like, Aight'm about to show y'all,
gon let the work show y'all. Y'all you gonna you're
not gonna be able to get around me. I love
that attitude. I love that mantra. I love everything about
(08:00):
out that I recently joined the Beehive. I wasn't always
a Beehiver. But it's not even because, like I mean,
I do know Beyonce's music. Everybody knows Beyonce's music. How
can you not know Beyonce's music? But for me, a
woman like Beyonce, and and a lot of times with celebrities,
I'm so enthused and just like excited by just who
(08:20):
they are as.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Talent and as business people.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Beyonce is a business woman, but the brand of Beyonce
is an institution, and you learn and take so much
from how she moves, Like I.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Don't know if her.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Wanting to stream on Netflix, because you know, everything's intentional,
especially with you know, talent like Beyonce, I don't know
if her goal is to get the eguy and she's
strategically positioning herself in the places where we see her
to be able to shoot her shot for that and
knowing like Okay, if I put if I stream this
on Netflix and I you know, I'm you've never seen
this on Netflix and I break these records and I
(08:57):
you know, could potentially be nominated for Emmy I want.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Close to the ego status.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Or if Beyonce, I mean, I know she's to a
point where you know, she's reinventing the will per se
of just different ways that her business, the institution I
talked about, can continue to leverage and level up platform
and numbers and business and just how they maneuver and
how they do everything, and watching her is just green.
(09:23):
There are two people that I love to watch in
entertainment Black Women, Ray and Beyonce again, same thing with
Ester Ray. I feel like with Ray it's always like
a She's like so silent, she stays above the noise,
above the mess. But her work always speaks for itself.
Crazy development deals, series that people continue to remember, you
(09:46):
can rewatch and secure fifty th eleven times, it never
gets old.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
But just what she's been able to do.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
With going from a YouTube online creator to really getting
in the houses of these studios and these networks and
e I've been doing all that while being talent like
Easter Ray. When people, you know, used to ask me
like okay, like what is it that you want to do,
Like what is your wheelhouse? You know, having a talk
show doing the things that I'm doing. Yes, I'm you know.
(10:13):
We're of course we're going Angie Martinez, We're going Oprah,
We're going Windy, we're going Miss Info, We're going like
I can, I can name so many different women and
shows and just things that encouraged me or wanted me
to do certain things when it comes to me as
like a producer, as a content creator, and also wanted
to do other things as talent.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I always went to Easter Ray.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Because for a long time people were having a conversation
about are you even a what is a multi hyphen it? Like?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
What is that? Is it even possible at a high level?
And then you look at a.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Beyonce who does Beyonce is a producer, she is a director.
She at some point she probably costume designs, She's building
set with her team. Beyonce, it has her hand and everything,
even if she's hiring people to do certain things and
not physically, you know, or time wise, actually doing it herself.
(11:07):
Because I think in order to be as great as
a Beyonce, or to be as you know, innovative in
breaking through doors and boundaries as an as Ray, you
gotta know everything because at some points people telling you
what you can't do.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
People will be telling me. And it's crazy when.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I think about it as a black woman, because I
think about how successful Beyonce is, how rich Beyonce is,
how wealthy because not even just.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Money, but like wealth like things.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
She can actually pass on things, She's actually accomplished, assets,
you know, all of these things. As a black woman,
I look at her and I'm like wow. But then
she does something like Cowboy Carter and you still have
people that will tell her what she cannot do, and
she just lets the work speak for herself. God will
prepare us a table in front of thy enemy.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Period. Congratulations.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Now Diddy is in the latest with Laura La Rosa,
because I mean, listen, I think we've been talking about
Ditty so much for the last few months just because
of all the things. But this report is a bit different.
So a while back, I believe it was back in January. Yes,
back in January, I did a report we talked about
this on the Breakfast Club that Diddy had actually filed
(12:24):
a defamation lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
The defamation lawsuit that.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
He's filed at the time was worth he was asking
for fifty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
So in this lawsuit, he was.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Claiming that there was a man in the man's attorney
who were defaming him because the things that he was
claiming are the things that these two were claiming, according
to Ditty on a platform called News Nation, were completely
not true. Now this was back in January. So this
so what happens is is you can go in at
(12:53):
any point while your lawsuit is still being while your
lawsuit is still in court, and you guys are still
going back and forth and amended.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
That just means to make a change.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So whether you add a new party or person that
you are involving or suing in a lawsuit, whether you
add new details, whether you up the amount of money
that you're asking for because you now have new claims
and new evidence of things.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
That is what an amendment is, and that is what
happened here.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I saw a lot of people tweeting me and asking
me where did this lawsuit come from and why weren't
we talking about it?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And I'm like, you guys don't remember it. This is
the same lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
This is not new, and we did cover this lawsuit
when it first was filed, but it was a mendate.
So basically, now Diddy is asking for double the money.
He is asking for one hundred million dollars, and he
is claiming that he was defamed by a man named
Courtney Burgess in an attorney named Ariel Mitchell, because Diddy
claims that when Courtney went on News Nation in Newsnation's
(13:48):
parent company is named in a lawsuit, but when Courtney
went on News Nation and had an interview and had
a conversation about Ditty and claimed that he had videos
of Diddy during during this and this is like the
height of all of the like freak golf and lost,
not lawsuit, yeah, but freak golf. The height of the
freak golf conversation, a lawsuit conversation, the indictment conversation, a
(14:12):
sex trafficking conversation, a Rico conversation.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
This is the height of all of that.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
So Diddy is alleging that Courtney got on News Nation
and said, Hey, I have videos of Diddy and celebrities apparently,
and also claimed that in one of the celebrities that
he could you could see clearly like they said that
there were like screen grabs from an alleged video, not
(14:39):
that they saw it, but you know, this is what
he is telling them in this interview that one of
the celebrities named was Justin Bieber, who was allegedly kissing
another man. Now, in the interview, Courtney is asked, are
these videos are these things that you have valid? According
to Diddy, did he alleges that he was asked that
(15:00):
plain and clear in the interview, and Courtney says yes,
for sure. The exact words from the interview were yes, yes, definitely.
Not only did Courtney allegedly double down that what he
had was valid, but a Ditty's new amended lawsuit. Diddy's
legal team claim or alleged that on News Nation, Courtney
(15:23):
also said that the eight celebrities seen in the footage,
two or three of those celebrities were underage. So Diddy's like, listen,
you went on this news I'll let you did this
interview and you claimed, number one, that we're having all
these freak as with celebrities. You claimed that you have
videotapes of this. You claimed and you named one of
(15:44):
the celebrities as Justin Bieber in this. You also said
that about two or three of them were under age.
These are all things that Diddy is alleging that Courtney
did right, and he's naming the attorney in this and
throwing her in the mix as well too, and Diddy.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Is saying that is completely not true. Now, I do
think at this point things like this.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Unless you're able to show proof of these videos, Diddy
has a solid case here in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
That is just my opinion.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
The reason why I say that is now that the
criminal trial has played out and we've seen all of
the evidence that the government has been able to recover,
including some freak go off tapes. Right now, we in court,
me being in court, we were not able to see
the freak Goff tapes ourselves, but there was no discussion
(16:34):
and they discussed everything very vividly. There was no discussion
of celebrities being included on these tapes in court record.
The conversation that was had in court was that Diddy
and his girlfriends at the time, Jane Doe and Cassie
were on these recordings in these freak gofs. Right now,
(16:58):
they use that right, They used these videos and seeing
these women involved in these freak golls to then have
a conversation about where the coortionion was there and all
the things. Right, But that's not even what DIDDI is
leaning into. But it is important to mention that in
court the federal government did not mention any celebrities involved.
And granted, even if there were celebrities on these tapes,
(17:21):
I did not see the tapes. But hypothetically speaking, if
there are celebrities on these tapes, there was a lot
of things redacted as far as names, and you know,
the jury were the only people able to even see
certain things because they wanted to keep certain people's identities disclosed.
They wanted to be because of the sensitivity of everything.
(17:42):
They wanted to keep people safe, including the women that
were testifying the people that were involved. But the main
point in the focus of the conversation in court was
Ditty Jane, Doe, Cassie and male escorts.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
That was the focus of the conversation.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So I think unless Courtney and when his attorney Ariel
are able to actually show these videotapes in these screenshots,
which is an easy way out of this, to be
honest with you, like if I'm them, that's I'm going
to court and just literally doing that, Like I'm not
defaming you if I actually can show you that I
have it and it's real.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
What Diddy is saying is I don't believe y'all.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
We don't believe you. We need more people run it up,
show us. But he has a case here because we
have yet to actually hear from anyone who was seeing
a tape that was proven valid in that criminal case
that named a celebrity. Now on the other side, like
I said, Courtney in his attorney, their defense is to
(18:41):
just easily if they got it, show it easily. To
do that and We'll have to see how this plays out.
But I don't think that this is a case that
just gets tossed out. I do think that a judge
actually takes the time to sit down and hear both
sides and see the evidence that both sides have in this,
because they both have very solid claims, especially after going
(19:01):
through that criminal trial and none of that type of
stuff coming up now on the other side.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Like I said, you just show what you have, show.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Your hand boom, like that's literally it.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
So we'll see how this plays out.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
But I did want to give you guys that update
because I think that whenever amendments happened.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
People think that there's like a whole new lawsuit and
it's not.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
This is just like a hey, I want to add this, Hey,
I want to correct this.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Hey, this more strongly supports.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
So I want to make sure we get this into
and that is all that we see happening here. I
haven't reached out to I actually spoke to Ariel Mitchell
when the original filing happened. I have not spoke to
her on this, but will so. I will bring you
guys more on that as I get it. So make
sure you guys tune in, come back forward the latest now.
At the end of the day, I always tell you, guys,
(19:46):
there is a lot to talk about always, and y'all
could be anywhere with anybody talking about it my Lowriders,
but y'all choose to be right here with me. I
appreciate you, guys, every single time you make that choice.
Make sure you come on back for another episode. Tell

right in front of your enemies a spread. Okay, God
(05:24):
prepared a spread for Beyonce right in front of her enemies,
because not only did she break records with Beyonce Bowl
performing that country music album that the Cmas did not
even want a lot of people in the country music
world didn't want to even admit was a country music album.
They said, Beyonce need to learn the ropes a bit,
throw herself into the country music world a bit. But
(05:45):
Beyonce has talked a lot about growing up in Houston,
Texas and how music and country music influenced her. Even
though the music she was making a lot of people
wouldn't have deemed country music. Even with Cowboy Carter, a
lot of the songs on that album, people still argued
weren't country songs because of various things God prepared at
the table for you in front of the enemy. Okay,
(06:07):
Beyonce is she is the mascot of that now, Beyonce.
Bat was a psight to see, you know, for the
country music people to be telling Beyonce, staying your place,
this is not your world.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Beyonce has used.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
This moment in history with all of the strides that
she has been able to make with Cowboy Carter to
really teach people, and Beyonce does that a lot, All
great artists do.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Beyonce does that a ton.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
But during Cowboy Carter, she was able to, you know,
in homage to Western and rodeo culture. She was able
to showcase a lot of people in front of twenty
seven million people, essentially because you could go back and
stream it again and again and again on Netflix. So
she brought out Mexican cowgirl Melanie Rivera. She also brought
out bill bull riding legend Murdis Ditman Junior, known as
(06:54):
the Jackie Robinson of rodeo. She brought out Miss Rodeo
Texas Princess two thousand and four, brought out Miss Rodeo
Texas twenty fifteen, Nikki Woodward. She also brought out the
first black Rodeo queen in Arkansas, Jadea Jediah's Heart from
Saying any Wrong, Kersh. Beyonce did the same thing even
on the Cowboy album Cowboy carda album she you know,
(07:17):
gave a lot of country music artists spotlight. Even in
talking about the album, even and going on tour, she
gave a lot of people's spotlight, and I think that's
what it's all about. And I think that's why we
keep seeing Beyonce be so blessed, is because it's not
just about Beyonce, even though it is, even though this
is Beyonce's Internet that we be on and all that, right,
(07:38):
it's not just about her in her career. And I
think that's why we keep seeing her break these strides
and every single time there's opposition. Whenever the ops pull
up Beyonce go somewhere, she sit back, pull out the
lemonade braids and be like, Aight'm about to show y'all,
gon let the work show y'all. Y'all you gonna you're
not gonna be able to get around me. I love
that attitude. I love that mantra. I love everything about
(08:00):
out that I recently joined the Beehive. I wasn't always
a Beehiver. But it's not even because, like I mean,
I do know Beyonce's music. Everybody knows Beyonce's music. How
can you not know Beyonce's music? But for me, a
woman like Beyonce, and and a lot of times with celebrities,
I'm so enthused and just like excited by just who
(08:20):
they are as.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Talent and as business people.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Beyonce is a business woman, but the brand of Beyonce
is an institution, and you learn and take so much
from how she moves, Like I.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Don't know if her.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Wanting to stream on Netflix, because you know, everything's intentional,
especially with you know, talent like Beyonce, I don't know
if her goal is to get the eguy and she's
strategically positioning herself in the places where we see her
to be able to shoot her shot for that and
knowing like Okay, if I put if I stream this
on Netflix and I you know, I'm you've never seen
this on Netflix and I break these records and I
(08:57):
you know, could potentially be nominated for Emmy I want.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Close to the ego status.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Or if Beyonce, I mean, I know she's to a
point where you know, she's reinventing the will per se
of just different ways that her business, the institution I
talked about, can continue to leverage and level up platform
and numbers and business and just how they maneuver and
how they do everything, and watching her is just green.
(09:23):
There are two people that I love to watch in
entertainment Black Women, Ray and Beyonce again, same thing with
Ester Ray. I feel like with Ray it's always like
a She's like so silent, she stays above the noise,
above the mess. But her work always speaks for itself.
Crazy development deals, series that people continue to remember, you
(09:46):
can rewatch and secure fifty th eleven times, it never
gets old.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
But just what she's been able to do.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
With going from a YouTube online creator to really getting
in the houses of these studios and these networks and
e I've been doing all that while being talent like
Easter Ray. When people, you know, used to ask me
like okay, like what is it that you want to do,
Like what is your wheelhouse? You know, having a talk
show doing the things that I'm doing. Yes, I'm you know.
(10:13):
We're of course we're going Angie Martinez, We're going Oprah,
We're going Windy, we're going Miss Info, We're going like
I can, I can name so many different women and
shows and just things that encouraged me or wanted me
to do certain things when it comes to me as
like a producer, as a content creator, and also wanted
to do other things as talent.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I always went to Easter Ray.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Because for a long time people were having a conversation
about are you even a what is a multi hyphen it? Like?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
What is that? Is it even possible at a high level?
And then you look at a.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Beyonce who does Beyonce is a producer, she is a director.
She at some point she probably costume designs, She's building
set with her team. Beyonce, it has her hand and everything,
even if she's hiring people to do certain things and
not physically, you know, or time wise, actually doing it herself.
(11:07):
Because I think in order to be as great as
a Beyonce, or to be as you know, innovative in
breaking through doors and boundaries as an as Ray, you
gotta know everything because at some points people telling you
what you can't do.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
People will be telling me. And it's crazy when.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I think about it as a black woman, because I
think about how successful Beyonce is, how rich Beyonce is,
how wealthy because not even just.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Money, but like wealth like things.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
She can actually pass on things, She's actually accomplished, assets,
you know, all of these things. As a black woman,
I look at her and I'm like wow. But then
she does something like Cowboy Carter and you still have
people that will tell her what she cannot do, and
she just lets the work speak for herself. God will
prepare us a table in front of thy enemy.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Period. Congratulations.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Now Diddy is in the latest with Laura La Rosa,
because I mean, listen, I think we've been talking about
Ditty so much for the last few months just because
of all the things. But this report is a bit different.
So a while back, I believe it was back in January. Yes,
back in January, I did a report we talked about
this on the Breakfast Club that Diddy had actually filed
(12:24):
a defamation lawsuit.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
The defamation lawsuit that.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
He's filed at the time was worth he was asking
for fifty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
So in this lawsuit, he was.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Claiming that there was a man in the man's attorney
who were defaming him because the things that he was
claiming are the things that these two were claiming, according
to Ditty on a platform called News Nation, were completely
not true. Now this was back in January. So this
so what happens is is you can go in at
(12:53):
any point while your lawsuit is still being while your
lawsuit is still in court, and you guys are still
going back and forth and amended.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
That just means to make a change.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
So whether you add a new party or person that
you are involving or suing in a lawsuit, whether you
add new details, whether you up the amount of money
that you're asking for because you now have new claims
and new evidence of things.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
That is what an amendment is, and that is what
happened here.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I saw a lot of people tweeting me and asking
me where did this lawsuit come from and why weren't
we talking about it?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
And I'm like, you guys don't remember it. This is
the same lawsuit.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
This is not new, and we did cover this lawsuit
when it first was filed, but it was a mendate.
So basically, now Diddy is asking for double the money.
He is asking for one hundred million dollars, and he
is claiming that he was defamed by a man named
Courtney Burgess in an attorney named Ariel Mitchell, because Diddy
claims that when Courtney went on News Nation in Newsnation's
(13:48):
parent company is named in a lawsuit, but when Courtney
went on News Nation and had an interview and had
a conversation about Ditty and claimed that he had videos
of Diddy during during this and this is like the
height of all of the like freak golf and lost,
not lawsuit, yeah, but freak golf. The height of the
freak golf conversation, a lawsuit conversation, the indictment conversation, a
(14:12):
sex trafficking conversation, a Rico conversation.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
This is the height of all of that.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
So Diddy is alleging that Courtney got on News Nation
and said, Hey, I have videos of Diddy and celebrities apparently,
and also claimed that in one of the celebrities that
he could you could see clearly like they said that
there were like screen grabs from an alleged video, not
(14:39):
that they saw it, but you know, this is what
he is telling them in this interview that one of
the celebrities named was Justin Bieber, who was allegedly kissing
another man. Now, in the interview, Courtney is asked, are
these videos are these things that you have valid? According
to Diddy, did he alleges that he was asked that
(15:00):
plain and clear in the interview, and Courtney says yes,
for sure. The exact words from the interview were yes, yes, definitely.
Not only did Courtney allegedly double down that what he
had was valid, but a Ditty's new amended lawsuit. Diddy's
legal team claim or alleged that on News Nation, Courtney
(15:23):
also said that the eight celebrities seen in the footage,
two or three of those celebrities were underage. So Diddy's like, listen,
you went on this news I'll let you did this
interview and you claimed, number one, that we're having all
these freak as with celebrities. You claimed that you have
videotapes of this. You claimed and you named one of
(15:44):
the celebrities as Justin Bieber in this. You also said
that about two or three of them were under age.
These are all things that Diddy is alleging that Courtney
did right, and he's naming the attorney in this and
throwing her in the mix as well too, and Diddy.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Is saying that is completely not true. Now, I do
think at this point things like this.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Unless you're able to show proof of these videos, Diddy
has a solid case here in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
That is just my opinion.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
The reason why I say that is now that the
criminal trial has played out and we've seen all of
the evidence that the government has been able to recover,
including some freak go off tapes. Right now, we in court,
me being in court, we were not able to see
the freak Goff tapes ourselves, but there was no discussion
(16:34):
and they discussed everything very vividly. There was no discussion
of celebrities being included on these tapes in court record.
The conversation that was had in court was that Diddy
and his girlfriends at the time, Jane Doe and Cassie
were on these recordings in these freak gofs. Right now,
(16:58):
they use that right, They used these videos and seeing
these women involved in these freak golls to then have
a conversation about where the coortionion was there and all
the things. Right, But that's not even what DIDDI is
leaning into. But it is important to mention that in
court the federal government did not mention any celebrities involved.
And granted, even if there were celebrities on these tapes,
(17:21):
I did not see the tapes. But hypothetically speaking, if
there are celebrities on these tapes, there was a lot
of things redacted as far as names, and you know,
the jury were the only people able to even see
certain things because they wanted to keep certain people's identities disclosed.
They wanted to be because of the sensitivity of everything.
(17:42):
They wanted to keep people safe, including the women that
were testifying the people that were involved. But the main
point in the focus of the conversation in court was
Ditty Jane, Doe, Cassie and male escorts.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
That was the focus of the conversation.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So I think unless Courtney and when his attorney Ariel
are able to actually show these videotapes in these screenshots,
which is an easy way out of this, to be
honest with you, like if I'm them, that's I'm going
to court and just literally doing that, Like I'm not
defaming you if I actually can show you that I
have it and it's real.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
What Diddy is saying is I don't believe y'all.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
We don't believe you. We need more people run it up,
show us. But he has a case here because we
have yet to actually hear from anyone who was seeing
a tape that was proven valid in that criminal case
that named a celebrity. Now on the other side, like
I said, Courtney in his attorney, their defense is to
(18:41):
just easily if they got it, show it easily. To
do that and We'll have to see how this plays out.
But I don't think that this is a case that
just gets tossed out. I do think that a judge
actually takes the time to sit down and hear both
sides and see the evidence that both sides have in this,
because they both have very solid claims, especially after going
(19:01):
through that criminal trial and none of that type of
stuff coming up now on the other side.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Like I said, you just show what you have, show.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Your hand boom, like that's literally it.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
So we'll see how this plays out.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
But I did want to give you guys that update
because I think that whenever amendments happened.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
People think that there's like a whole new lawsuit and
it's not.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
This is just like a hey, I want to add this, Hey,
I want to correct this.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Hey, this more strongly supports.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
So I want to make sure we get this into
and that is all that we see happening here. I
haven't reached out to I actually spoke to Ariel Mitchell
when the original filing happened. I have not spoke to
her on this, but will so. I will bring you
guys more on that as I get it. So make
sure you guys tune in, come back forward the latest now.
At the end of the day, I always tell you, guys,
(19:46):
there is a lot to talk about always, and y'all
could be anywhere with anybody talking about it my Lowriders,
but y'all choose to be right here with me. I
appreciate you, guys, every single time you make that choice.
Make sure you come on back for another episode. Tell
a friend to tell a friend it's the latest with
Lauren l.
