your girl is a little tired. Okay, so we behind
the scenes of the Grind check in right now. I'm

go to sleep, period, Court, breakfast Club, getting up at
like four am, four thirty for breakfast club, making it
(00:57):
to Court after doing the podcast, after or attempting to,
and then getting back up to then, and you know,
trying to eat and just be married in between all that,
and you know, self care stuff has been Look, we've
been fighting and I have not been winning. Okay, it's
been kicking my behind. But I think I'm learning an
(01:19):
amazing lesson right now in balance and saying no and
rest and why I need rest and what that looks
like it feels like for my body.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
But your girl is tired today.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
But nonetheless, we have so much to get to because
there is so much going on in the latest today.
First of all, that's a congratulations. I think congratulations are
in order. It was announced yesterday that Cassie Ventura, Diddy's
ex girlfriend, actually went into labor at a hospital here
(01:57):
in New York. So reports are saying that cash was
Cassie was rushed to a New York hospital yesterday and
it's currently in labor in the labor and delivery unit. Now,
there are some sources that have mentioned that Cassie may
be having complications. And you guys know she recently testified
in the Diddy trial. I wouldn't say it was about
(02:18):
like a week and a half ago. And when she
was on the stand, I kept saying, like, yo, she
looked like she can bust any day now, Like she
was giving super super super super pregnant. I mean she
looked amazing, don't get me wrong, Like when I had
my babies. When I meet my man, and you know,
I mean my husband, I want to carry how Cassie
was carrying because her belly was super pregnant, but the
(02:40):
rest of her looked like supermodel Cassie. She looked amazing,
but definitely she was ready to pop. She was on
the stand and she was like, you know, holding her belly.
You know the thing that like when pregnant women are
having contractions, how they hold their back and their belly
and like you see them do the on their face.
She was giving that in between her testimony. So I
was like commending her for even being able to get
(03:02):
through it with all of the emotion and the pressure.
And you know what I mean, Like I can imagine
how that, you know, weighs on a woman who was
literally days weeks you know, headed into.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Delivery.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Now she is expecting this baby with her husband, of course, Alex, fine,
this is not their first baby.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
This is baby number three.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
And you know, I mean, at this point, I think
she's been able to put so much behind her. She
has her coin, she's got to speak her peace, and
now it's not for her to you know, have her
baby and deliver her baby peacefully and health and you
know healthy. There have not been any updates whatsoever on
if she's actually had the baby or not yet you
(03:47):
know just where all that is. I have reached out
to every single attorney I could find for her when
this story break.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Oh matter of fact, he responded back to me.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Her attorney, Douglas Wigdor responded back to me and said,
not something I would comment on. Thanks when I reached
out because I was trying to figure out, Okay, is
she like, did.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
She have the baby? Did she not have a baby?
Like what's happening here?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
But yes, I got to find another way in because
I'm trying to figure out where she is, what's happening.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
So yes, congratulations are in order for Cassie.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
But speaking of Cassie, you know that segues us right
into court because you girl, a lot to take you
out of court, a lot to take you out of court.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Uh diddy.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
We had explosive testimony this week from a personal assistant
named Capricorn Clark.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Man.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
When I tell you, guys, there was so much uh
you know, her testimony was very, very very moving. If
y'all hear the pages, that is me flipping through my
book because there are so many things that she addressed. Uh.
You know, Capricorn Clark has been a personal assistant and
just a you know, an executive level professional that worked
(04:59):
with Diddy for some years. So she has been mentioned
so much by other people on the stand that I
knew when she got on the stand her testimony would
fill in a lot of holes to a lot of
the stories that we heard. But baby, when I tell you,
I had no idea it was gonna be like this.
So we were literally everybody in the court hanging on
the edge of our seats.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Now she.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
It got to a point with Capricorn Clark where the
defense was pushing her so hard that she broke down.
And I mean before that she had talked about a lot,
she had dressed a lot like she you know, said
that Diddy had allegedly found out that a friend of
hers has kids with ship Knight, and allegedly did he
(05:47):
threatened to throw her in the East River if he
ever found out that. You know, she was in between
any whatever between Shook and Diddy, because you know, that's
always been the running thing that there is something there,
and now we're finding out, you know, from people that
were inside who are a legend, know there really was
like the beef there to the point where she says
that she was threatened to be thrown into the East
River if if anything ever popped off from her account,
(06:10):
basically like they wanted to be able to trust her
because they don't foolish at night.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
In team, she.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Also talked about, you know, the lie detective tests that
we had heard about. Other assistants had talked about this
where when things would go missing in the house, Diddy
would require his employees.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
To take a lot of detective test.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Allegedly, now Capricorn Clark paints this lie detector test as
almost like another kidnapping of sorts, you know. Allegedly, she
says that she was sent to this building in New
York that was one way in, one way out. As
far as how it locked like you were locked into
the inside. She says that she sat for hours on
(06:51):
hours on hours for five days and did a lie
detector test at one point when there was some jewelry
that went missing of Diddy, and she said that they
would take the test, stop review the tests, take the test,
stop reviewed the test, and it was very like, you know,
the guy that administered the test to her was a
huge man like everything she was saying felt very like
(07:14):
she you know, was captive, but then she actually talked
about a time where she alleges she was kidnapped by
Diddy at gunpoint. She alleges that Diddy showed up at
our house between five and six am after finding out
about Cassie and Kit cutting banging on her.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Door, banging, banging, banging, banging, banging, five six am. She
gets up.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
She's in her night clothes and she's like, what is
going on When she opens the door, and Diddy is like,
get dressed.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
We're gonna go. We're going over there.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
We're going to We going to Kit Cutty, That's what
she alleges, and she was like what she She was like, no,
she didn't want to go, but she got dressed because
she had never seen Diddy this upset. She alleges she
had never seen Diddy carry a gun, and he had
a gun and she didn't think she had a choice,
so they put her in the back of a truck.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
She says she was sitting in the back of the truck.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Diddy was also on the back of the truck, and
she alleges a man named Rube was driving the car.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
They rolled over to kid Cutty's house.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
When they got there, she allegends that Rube and Diddy
got access into Ki Cuttie's home. While that happens, she calls.
She then begins to basically start sending smoke signals out.
So she's calling, you know, Lauren London, who she says,
is like a neutral friend in the friend group, just
to let her know, Hey, this is where I'm at.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
They Diddy came and got me.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
She alleged to Diddy came and got her and said
we're going to go kill him talking about kit Cutty,
and because he had that gun, she alleges she didn't
know what they were going to do. She also didn't
know whether kid Cutty was in the house or not
when they arrived there, so she was scared. She says,
She's she allegend she called Lauren London just to let
her know where she was.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
It might have even been on three ways. She they
kind of tried to trip her up.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
There is a defense on this part of it because
they're like, was Laura Lennon on threewhere was she or
was she not? Because you told the prosecutors that she was,
And then defense was trying to poke little holes like
that the whole time. They even brought up the fact
that at one point, and they showed the text message
in court. She had text Diddy, you know, talking about
how she's always had, you know, this crush on him
(09:13):
and wondering if they wasted dopeness and you know what
could have been, and you know, trying to paint her
as this love strucken, jealous woman who just couldn't let
go of the lifestyle that she had been, you know,
able to live while working for Diddy, and that's where
all these claims and these stories were coming from. However,
(09:34):
it backfire majorly. Oh my god, when I tell y'all,
backfired majorly because when she started to go into details
of this story, even with kid Cuddy right where she's like, Okay,
I'm outside in the car, I'm calling Laura in London.
I called Cassie allegedly, right And she says, I called
Cassie because I'm trying to let her know what's going on, and.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Like, yo, what's happening? How did he even find out?
Speaker 1 (09:59):
She alleges that she she went herself and got Cassie
that Burner phone, which Cassie had already told us, But
she says she went and got Cassie that Berner phone.
Because she said the way Cassie was moving out here,
She's like, you know, and this is all a leeds.
She's like, Yo, the way Cassie was moving out here
wasn't good for nobody. We knew the consequences of what
could happen if, if you know, Diddy found out about
(10:19):
these things. Allegedly right when got het the Berner phone
and they still got caught. So she's calling Cassie. Cassie
happens to be with kit Cutty. Uh, and Cassie's with
Kit Cutty and Capricorn. Clark alleged she didn't even know
kit Cutty heard her say, Hey, they're at kit Cutty's house.
She truly believed kit Cutty was in that house, and
(10:39):
she alleges she didn't know what was about to go down.
She truly believed that they were, you know, allegedly going
to kill him or do something to him, and she
was scared. So she called Cassie let her know what
was going on and just to give her the heads up,
and then she heard kit Cutty in the background, and
then she says that because she made that phone call,
kit Cutty then pulls up and there was a whole
chase that happened through the Hollywood Hills. She alleges that
(11:03):
BK Rube. She alleges that Rube and Diddy, they're in
the They're in the car. She's in the back of
the car, and they're chasing kit Cutty, who she says, Yo,
he turned a block and got away from us, and
then she alleges they heard police sirens, which is when
you know, they kind of calmed down. But she said
the whole time, gun is in Diddy's lab. Allegedly, gun
(11:24):
is in Diddy's lab. Even riding there, she said it
was in his lab. Now, this is a completely different
story to what Kit Cutty told. And I don't know
if he didn't want to, you know, look like I
ran from him or what, but he told the story
completely different. After that, she says that Diddy. She alleges
that Diddy made her and Cassie go and sit down
(11:46):
with kit Cutty because he wanted to be sure that
his name wasn't going to pop up at any police reports
or anything like that. And she alleges that even before
that meeting, the only way she even was able to
link with Cassie to go do that was because they
got down to Sunset Boulevard. And if you guys, you know,
are not familiar with La when you're in the hills,
when you drive down the streets take you to like
(12:06):
mhalland and then Sunset Boulevard. So she's like, yo, we
got back to Sunset Boulevard, and she alleged when they
got there and got phone service, did he made her
call Cassie? And she alleges did? He said, yo, I
got her, like she's here with me and she ain't
going nowhere? She where are you at?
Speaker 2 (12:20):
He was trying to you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
He was trying to get to Cassie, allegedly, and Cassie's like,
come get me. So they went and picked up from
the Sunset Marquis Capricorn Allegends, and then from there they
were her and Cassie went and sat down with Ki
Cutti and had conversations with him, and really, you know,
she alleges that it was more so like Okay, they're
giving him.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
The heads up.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
They're telling him like, yo, don't Benji's name in any
police reports, please, But she alleges that they were trying
to put their heads together, like yo, this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
What is going on?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Right now what is happening, completely different picture, And the
defense really tricked themselves up because the more they tried
to poke holes in her story, the more it became
so evident. She broke down crying talking about her son,
who is autistic and not audible, and just everything she
lost so fast, and the fact that she couldn't even
(13:10):
She alleges that she couldn't even work after, you know,
this situation, because she alleges that Diddy Blackbaughther. She says
that you know, she would go into meetings, like you know,
with high power people who she had been working and
you know, associating with for some time. And for instance,
she alleged she sat down with Jimmy Ivan and she
thought that it was going to be about job opportunities.
And when they sat down, she alleged to Jimmy Ivien
(13:31):
said to her, this Diddy thing ain't gonna work out
for you.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Leave it alone.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
She alleges that at one point she was meeting with
CIA for job opportunities, and she alleges Diddy and Andre Herrel,
who's you know, a music executive and almost like a
father to Diddy, who passed away some years ago. She
says that they showed up there trying to have a
conversation about her and you know, stopping legal action. But
the defense really messed up because you know, the more
(14:00):
that they pushed on stuff like that, the more you
really saw that this girl, this woman, excuse me, even
though it's insane that she kept going back. So she's lead,
she's fired. Allegedly she terminated in twenty twelve, but then
ends up working with Cassie in twenty sixteen, and then
ends up in a meeting with Diddy's you know, attorneys
(14:21):
trying to figure out coming back on board to help
them clean up all this mess because at this point,
the raids and stuff had happened in April twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Four, and it's like, all this has happened, why would
you go back?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
And it doesn't as compelling as her testimony is, it
doesn't make sense at first on face value, like a
lot of these stories happen because the reoccurring theme is
but they keep going back. But then she starts to
get into I didn't have anything. I got no parents,
my child, like I need a certain amount of money
and healthcare to care for my child that I no
(14:52):
longer had everything allegedly was stripped from her. She says,
I couldn't even work. I kept going back because what
else was I going to do. I needed people that
you know, were allegedly blackballing me to see. Okay, if
he's bringing her back, it's all good, so then I
could make money and do things outside of it. She
literally sat on the sea and as she's breaking down crying,
I felt like if I was not a threat to him,
(15:14):
then I could get my life back. Man. Court was
