00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:13.919
Callaroga Shark Media. Welcome back to Diddy Do It, the
2
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.960
daily podcast following every twist in the sex, trafficking and
3
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:24.640
racketeering trial of Sean Ditty Combs. I'm Nate Oliver, reporting
4
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:28.120
from outside the Manhattan Federal Courthouse on Tuesday, May thirteenth.
5
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.600
Let's dive into everything that went down in court yesterday
6
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:35.039
because it was a day packed with drama, emotion, and
7
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:38.240
bombshells that have already sent shockwaves through the city and
8
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.280
the entertainment world. Yesterday's session opened with a palpable sense
9
00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:48.119
of anticipation even before sunrise. Crowds had gathered outside the courthouse, fans, protesters,
10
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.039
and a swarm of media, all angling for a glimpse
11
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.679
of Ditty or a chance to catch a headline. The
12
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:55.920
line to get into the courtroom wrapped around the block,
13
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:01.000
and security was tight, with extra officers stationed at every entrance. Inside,
14
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.439
the gallery was packed. Among the faces were several members
15
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:08.200
of Ditty's entourage, a few music industry insiders, and as always,
16
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.760
a full row of reporters with their laptops ready. The
17
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:16.400
prosecution wasted no time calling their first witness, Israel Flores,
18
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:21.079
the security director from the Beverly Hills Hotel. Flores's testimony
19
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.239
centered on the now infamous twenty sixteen incident involving Ditty
20
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:29.359
and Cassie Ventura. The jury was shown surveillance footage that's
21
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.840
already gone viral online. In the video, Ditty is seen
22
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.480
chasing Cassie down a hotel hallway, grabbing her, and, according
23
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:41.439
to Floores, physically assaulting her. Floores described Cassie as visibly
24
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:45.439
shaken in the aftermath, and said hotel staff were left
25
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:49.400
unsettled by the incident. The prosecution used this moment to
26
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.640
underscore their central argument that Ditty's power and influence allowed
27
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.719
him to act with impunity, both in public and behind
28
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:01.640
closed doors. But that was just the beginning. The next witness,
29
00:02:01.719 --> 00:02:04.040
Daniel Phillip, a former mail stripper, took the stand and
30
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:07.319
delivered some of the most graphic and unsettling testimony so far.
31
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:11.400
Philip described being recruited by Cassie Ventura for what he
32
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:15.759
called freak off party's exclusive gatherings allegedly orchestrated by Ditty.
33
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.520
According to Philip, these weren't just wild celebrity after parties.
34
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.159
He described them as highly organized events where attendees were
35
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.719
provided with drugs and pressured into sexual acts, sometimes for
36
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:31.199
the entertainment of Ditty in his inner circle. Philip claimed
37
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:33.560
he was warned by Ditty's associates not to talk about
38
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:35.560
what he saw, painting a picture of a culture of
39
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:40.520
silence and intimidation. Throughout these testimonies, Didty sat at the
40
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.960
defense table, dressed in a sharp navy suit, his expression unreadable.
41
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.919
He occasionally leaned over to confer with his attorney, Joe Takapina,
42
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:54.800
but otherwise remained motionless, eyes fixed on the witnesses. Observers
43
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.319
in the gallery noted that Ditty's family and several close
44
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:01.400
friends were present, offering quiet support but showing little emotion.
45
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:04.719
The defense, for their part, didn't shy away from the
46
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.919
violence depicted in the video or described in testimony. In fact,
47
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.840
Joe Tacopina addressed it head on, admitting that Ditty could
48
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.520
be jealous and had acted out of control at times.
49
00:03:16.199 --> 00:03:19.680
But Tacopina insisted that all sexual activity described by the
50
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:24.960
prosecution's witnesses was consensual between adults. He argued that the
51
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:28.240
government was attempting to criminalize a lifestyle, one built on
52
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:32.879
adult consent and mutual participation in what he called swingers parties.
53
00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:37.520
Tacopina also pointed out that Cassie Ventura had previously settled
54
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:41.360
a civil lawsuit with Ditty for millions of dollars, suggesting
55
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.960
that some of the allegations were motivated by financial gain
56
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:47.840
rather than a search for justice. A major subplot that
57
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.599
dominated both the courtroom and the headlines was the mysterious
58
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:57.759
disappearance of Victim three, a key prosecution witness. Prosecutors acknowledged
59
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:01.159
her absence in court, stating that they had lost contact
60
00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:02.960
with her in the days leading up to the trial.
61
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:07.319
This revelation set off a wave of speculation, both inside
62
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:12.639
the courthouse and across social media. Was she intimidated, paid off,
63
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:15.759
or simply too afraid to testify in such a high
64
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.839
profile case. The prosecution offered no answers, and the judge
65
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.199
instructed the jury not to let the absence of any
66
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:26.800
witness influence their deliberations. Still, the mystery has only fueled
67
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:31.199
the media circus outside. As the day wore on, the
68
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:36.000
prosecution hinted at what's to come. Cassie Ventura, now visibly pregnant,
69
00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.519
is expected to take the stand later this week. Prosecutors
70
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.959
allege she endured years of abuse, including a two thousand
71
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.800
and nine incident where did he allegedly stomped on her
72
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.720
face and used explicit videos as blackmail. The defense is
73
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:54.199
already preparing to challenge her credibility, highlighting her prior lawsuit
74
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:57.800
and settlement, and suggesting that her testimony is motivated by
75
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.920
revenge rather than truth. The jury, a carefully selected mix
76
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:05.199
of New Yorkers from all walks of life, sat quietly
77
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.879
through it all, taking notes and watching both Ditty and
78
00:05:07.959 --> 00:05:12.560
the witnesses closely. Judge Arun Subramanian reminded them to avoid
79
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.079
all media coverage and to focus solely on the evidence
80
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:19.680
presented in court, but with headlines splashed across every newspaper
81
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:25.600
and social media platform, that's easier said than done. Outside
82
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:29.879
the courthouse, the atmosphere was electric. Paparazzi snapped photos of
83
00:05:29.920 --> 00:05:33.639
anyone even remotely connected to the case, while protesters and
84
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:37.639
fans traded chants and slogans. Several notable figures from the
85
00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.399
music world were spotted entering the building, fueling rumors about
86
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:46.480
who might show up to support Ditty as the trial continues. Today.
87
00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:49.199
The trial is expected to continue with more witnesses from
88
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:54.120
Ditty's inner circle. The prosecution may introduce additional evidence, including
89
00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:58.079
more surveillance footage and possibly audio recording said to capture
90
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.800
Ditty giving instructions to his staff. The defense, meanwhile, is
91
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.319
likely to keep hammering away at the credibility of the
92
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:08.720
prosecution's witnesses and the consensual nature of the encounters described.
93
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.680
All eyes are on the schedule for Cassie Ventura's testimony,
94
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:16.079
which could come as early as Thursday. It will be
95
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:30.120
back in a moment in rumor Watch. The disappearance of
96
00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:33.720
victim three remains the hottest topic, both inside and outside
97
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:37.800
the courthouse. Theories are flying. Some say she's gone into
98
00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:42.480
hiding out of fear, Others whisper about possible intimidation or payoffs.
99
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:47.439
The prosecution hasn't offered any official explanation, and the tabloids
100
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:52.480
are running wild with speculation. In celebrity sightings, several members
101
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:55.399
of Ditty's Bad Boy inner circle were in the gallery yesterday,
102
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.160
along with what looked like security teams for other high
103
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:03.560
profile music industry figures. There's talk that even bigger names
104
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:06.959
could make appearances as the trial heats up. The scene
105
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:11.399
outside the courthouse is as frenzied as ever with fans, detractors,
106
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:14.160
and at least one reality TV star giving interviews to
107
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:18.879
anyone with a microphone and in tabloid tracker, The Daily
108
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:22.720
Mail and New York Post are splashing stories about Cassie's pregnancy,
109
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:27.600
Ditty's courtroom composure, and the missing witness drama. Meanwhile, The
110
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.519
New York Times and NPR are focusing on the legal
111
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:35.160
strategies and the impact of key witness testimony. The split
112
00:07:35.199 --> 00:07:37.639
and coverage is stark, and it's clear this trial is
113
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:40.199
as much a battle for public opinion as it is
114
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:44.279
a legal showdown. That's where we stand as the trial
115
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.759
enters another day. Tomorrow. Will bring you the latest from
116
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:52.759
inside and outside the courthouse with every twist, rumor and headline.
