00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:23.879
Daily podcast bringing you every raw, unfiltered detail from the

5
00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:31.839
Sean Ditty Combs sex trafficking and racketeering trial. I'm Nate Oliver,

6
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.840
reporting from outside the Manhattan Federal Courthouse on Thursday May twenty, ninth,

7
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:40.320
day nineteen of this relentless courtroom saga. Wednesday's session was

8
00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:45.439
a marathon of bombshell testimony, forensic evidence, and emotional revelations

9
00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.759
that left the courtroom reeling and the prosecution's case against

10
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:52.240
Ditty even more damning. The day began with Los Angeles

11
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:56.240
Fire Department arson investigator Lance Jimenez taking the stand to

12
00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:00.399
walk jurors through the infamous firebombing of Kid Cuddy's Porsche

13
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:04.599
nine to eleven. Hemenez described arriving at Cutty's Hollywood Hills

14
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.359
home to find the convertible gutted by fire, a Molotov

15
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.079
cocktail still inside, and a single black glove on the

16
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:15.439
back seat. He explained that the car's roof had been

17
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:18.200
cut open and that the remains of a malt liquor

18
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:21.760
bottle filled with gasoline were found in the wreckage. Jurors

19
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.400
saw graphic photos of the charred car and the evidence

20
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:28.439
collected at the scene. On cross examination, Diddy's defense pointed

21
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.280
out that Cutty identified the glove as his own and

22
00:01:31.319 --> 00:01:34.319
that female DNA was found on the Molotov cocktail bottle,

23
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:39.400
raising questions about the true perpetrator. Jimenez admitted he did

24
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.239
not send the glove for DNA testing and that Cassie

25
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:46.120
Ventura and Capricorn Clark never returned his calls for follow

26
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.319
up interviews. The judge later agreed to strike any mention

27
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:52.519
of lost fingerprints from the record, siding with the defense

28
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.519
that it could unfairly prejudice the jury. Next, the prosecution

29
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:01.200
called Deontae Nash, Cassie Ventura's longtime sigelist and close friend,

30
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.480
who delivered some of the most harrowing testimony of the

31
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:10.199
trial so far. Nash described Ditty's obsessive control over Cassie's life,

32
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.719
dictating her clothing, hair, and even threatening to have her

33
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:17.159
parents fired if she defied him. Nash told the jury

34
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.240
that Ditty would say things like I'm going to beat

35
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.319
you and I'm not going to release your music. Using

36
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:27.000
threats to keep Cassie compliant, Nash recalled Cassie telling him

37
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.840
she was forced to participate in a freak off on

38
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.599
her twenty ninth birthday because Puff wanted her to. He

39
00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:37.840
described Ditty as enraged and possessive, painting a picture of

40
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:40.639
a man who used his power to dominate every aspect

41
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:44.639
of Cassie's world. Nash then recounted a terrifying night when

42
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:48.159
Ditty arrived at Cassie's apartment, furious that she hadn't answered

43
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.319
his calls. Nash told the court he opened the door

44
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.280
for Ditty, who stormed in, grabbed Cassie by the hair,

45
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.520
and yanked her off the couch before beating her. Nash, Cassie,

46
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.199
and another aid identify as Mia, fled to the bedroom,

47
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.479
trying to barricade the door, but did he forced his

48
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:08.520
way in. Nash described Ditty hitting and kicking Cassie until

49
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:11.080
she struck her head on the bed frame. Nash and

50
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.560
Mia tried to intervene, jumping on Ditty's back, but he

51
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.719
threw them off. The attack only stopped when did he

52
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.360
noticed Cassie was bleeding. When he saw the blood he

53
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:24.719
just panicked. Nash testified, did he told them Cassie would

54
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.479
be taken to a plastic surgeon with his security team.

55
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:30.240
Nash said he tried to call nine one one, but

56
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.759
someone told him to hang up. The Next day, Nash

57
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.240
saw Cassie on a video call with stitches above her

58
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.520
eyebrow and a large cut on her forehead. Nash also

59
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.560
testified that after the beating, did he turned to him

60
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:44.800
and Miya and said, look what y'all made me do.

61
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:49.680
Nash's testimony didn't stop at violence. He described how did

62
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.479
he used blackmail and threats to keep Cassie under control?

63
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.680
After one violent episode, Nash said, did he threaten to

64
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.599
release explicit videos of Cassie online and send them to

65
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.039
her parents workplaces. Nash testified that Cassie was in tears

66
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.039
and he tried to comfort her by saying Ditty would

67
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.280
be implicated in the tapes too. Cassie told him Ditty

68
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:11.560
wasn't in the videos. He was the one filming her

69
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.000
with other men at his direction. Nash said Cassie told

70
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:17.680
him she never wanted to participate in these acts, but

71
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:20.839
did so because Puff wanted her to. Nash said he

72
00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:23.839
reported the violence to Ditty's chief of staff, Christina Korum,

73
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.879
but nothing changed. He never went to law enforcement, fearing

74
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:33.000
Ditty's power and retaliation. The prosecution then called Mia, a

75
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:36.360
former employee and alleged victim, who testified under a pseudonym

76
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:40.920
and with her voice disguised. Mia described years of working

77
00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.360
for Ditty, saying he worked her to the bone, and

78
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:48.879
recounted multiple incidents of sexual assault and coercion. She described

79
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:52.639
Ditty forcing himself on her, sneaking into her bed, putting

80
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:57.160
his hand up her dress, and demanding oral sex. Mia

81
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.720
said Diddy threatened her with financial and reputation ruin if

82
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:05.279
she ever spoke out. Her testimony echoed the pattern of force, fraud,

83
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.680
and coercion the prosecution has argued is central to the

84
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:13.759
racketeering and sex trafficking charges. Mia described the psychological manipulation

85
00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:16.680
that kept her silent for years, saying, you don't just

86
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:21.720
leave puff, you're trapped. On cross examination, Ditty's attorney tried

87
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:26.399
to undermine MIA's credibility, suggesting she once had unbelievable love

88
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.560
for Ditty and questioning why she never reported the abuse

89
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:34.279
until now. Ditty's attorney pressed Mia on her motives implying

90
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.519
her testimony was influenced by pressure from prosecutors or hopes

91
00:05:37.519 --> 00:05:42.079
of financial gain. Mia insisted she was testifying because it's

92
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.120
the right thing to do, and described the fear and

93
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:50.600
psychological manipulation that kept her silent for years. In a

94
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:55.839
striking moment, exotic dancer Sharree Hayes, who participated in several

95
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:59.040
freak offs, returned to the stand to offer an apology

96
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:03.240
to Cassie Ventura. I would express my regrets because I

97
00:06:03.319 --> 00:06:06.600
was completely unaware of what she was experiencing, Hayes said.

98
00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:11.279
If my involvement inadvertently intensified her pain, I would sincerely

99
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.839
apologize if I played a role in her negative experience.

100
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.519
Hayes said he always thought Ditty and Cassie were a

101
00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:21.240
content couple with a sexual kink and never saw signs

102
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:25.519
of discomfort or violence during his encounters, but he added,

103
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:28.439
just the notion of being part of a situation where

104
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.959
a woman might be facing abuse is hard to digest.

105
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:45.439
More in a moment, the prosecution also introduced more forensic evidence,

106
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:49.680
including photos of weapons, drugs, and sex paraphernalia recovered from

107
00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.319
Ditty's Miami home. Homeland Security agent Gerald Gannon testified that

108
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:58.040
agents found ar fifteen rifle parts with defaced serial numbers,

109
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:03.240
a loaded handgun, and a trove of pills, powders, and marijuana,

110
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:08.680
alongside baby oil, lingerie, and platform heels. Gannon explained that

111
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.680
the proximity of weapons and sex supplies suggested a world

112
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.600
where the threat of violence was ever present, and where

113
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:18.319
drugs were allegedly used to make women compliant During freak offs.

114
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:22.680
Jurors saw photos of a gold plated box labeled Puffy

115
00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:26.600
containing MDMA and mushroom capsules, as well as three cell

116
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.560
phones hidden in a Balenciaga boot. Outside the courtroom, the

117
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.959
atmosphere was electric. Reporters and spectators packed the halls, and

118
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.199
the media dissected every detail of Nashes and MIA's testimony.

119
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:42.759
The judge denied a defense motion for mistrial over the

120
00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:47.079
mention of destroyed fingerprint evidence, ruling that no prejudicial information

121
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:50.680
had been introduced. Diddy's legal team continues to argue that

122
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:55.759
while the Mogul's relationships were unconventional and sometimes violent, they

123
00:07:55.800 --> 00:08:00.000
were consensual, and that the government is criminalizing his life style.

124
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:04.480
As the trial barrels forward, the prosecution continues to build

125
00:08:04.519 --> 00:08:09.720
a devastating portrait of Ditty's world, a place where fear, violence,

126
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.600
and blackmail were routine, and where loyalty was enforced through

127
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:17.279
threats and surveillance. The defense is preparing to present its

128
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:21.519
own witnesses soon, hoping to counter the avalanche of damaging testimony.

129
00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:25.759
That's where we stand after a day of bombshell revelations

130
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:30.720
and emotional testimony. Tomorrow I'll bring you every new twist,

131
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:35.519
every legal battle, and every rumor from inside and outside

132
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:38.519
the courthouse. I'm Nate Oliver, and this is Did He

133
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:43.960
Do It? This episode of Diddy Did He Do It?

134
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:47.200
Was produced by Mark Francis and John McDermott for Calaroga

135
00:08:47.279 --> 00:08:50.720
Shark Media. Some AI production assistants may have been used.
