Daily podcast bringing you every raw, unfiltered detail from the

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:32.520
Sean Dittycomb's sex trafficking and racketeering trial. I'm Nate Oliver
6
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.240
outside the Manhattan Federal Courthouse on Tuesday morning, June third
7
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.079
day twenty two of this high stakes legal drama, and
8
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.880
after yesterday's marathon session, the tension here is thicker than ever.
9
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:48.320
Monday's proceedings were a masterclass in both legal brinkmanship and
10
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:52.479
the raw emotional fallout of years spent inside Ditty's orbit.
11
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.880
The day began with the prosecution concluding the testimony of Mia,
12
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.359
whose eight years as Ditty's personal assistant have become a
13
00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:04.439
focal point in the government's case. The defense's cross examination
14
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:08.040
was relentless as Attorney Brian Steele tried to chip away
15
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:12.359
at MIA's credibility, painting her as a disgruntled ex employee
16
00:01:12.359 --> 00:01:15.519
who only came forward after receiving a financial settlement and
17
00:01:15.599 --> 00:01:20.359
seeing Cassie Ventura file her own explosive lawsuit. Steele pressed
18
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.760
Mia on every detail of her relationship with Ditty. He
19
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:26.040
grilled her about why she stayed so long in a
20
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.640
job she described as toxic and terrifying, why she continued
21
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.239
to send Ditty friendly texts and birthday wishes, and why
22
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.959
she sometimes posted praise for him on social media. Mia,
23
00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:41.159
holding back tears but never wavering, told the jury that
24
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:45.239
her public displays of loyalty were a survival tactic. It's
25
00:01:45.280 --> 00:01:49.799
called psychological abuse, she said. You do what you have
26
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.079
to do to stay safe. You play along, you keep
27
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:55.519
your head down, and you hope he doesn't turn on you.
28
00:01:56.640 --> 00:02:00.280
She described being brainwashed living in a world where Didy's
29
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.599
approval was everything and where the threat of being blacklisted
30
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:07.920
from the industry loomed over every decision. Steele also hammered
31
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.719
Mia about her four hundred thousand dollars severance payment, suggesting
32
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:16.080
that her claims of abuse were financially motivated. Mia insisted
33
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.520
the settlement was about wrongful termination, not hush money. She
34
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.759
explained that she never mentioned the alleged sexual assaults during
35
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:27.520
negotiations because she was terrified of retaliation. I was scared
36
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:32.840
for my life, my career, my reputation. She said he
37
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.400
could destroy me with a single phone call. On redirect.
38
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.759
The prosecution gave Mia the chance to explain why she
39
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.159
never went to police or even considered reporting Ditty anonymously.
40
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:48.479
She described the omnipresent fear that kept her silent, nobody around,
41
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:51.080
bad At and I. She said, he was still praised
42
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.719
by everyone around him and the public. Mia testified that
43
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.240
she only found the courage to speak out once she
44
00:02:57.360 --> 00:03:00.919
saw Ditty facing real accountability in the media and in court.
45
00:03:01.960 --> 00:03:05.240
When I started witnessing him being held accountable for his actions,
46
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:09.639
that's when the moral obligation came to my mind, she said.
47
00:03:10.759 --> 00:03:14.599
The prosecution highlighted how Ditty's power and celebrity status made
48
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.479
it nearly impossible for Mia or anyone else in his
49
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:21.560
circle to escape or seek help. MIA's testimony also gave
50
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.840
jurors a window into the psychological toll of working for Ditty.
51
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.039
She described a world of sleep deprivation, drug fueled chaos,
52
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:32.879
and constant fear. She told the jury about being screamed at,
53
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.719
forced to work days without rest, and threatened with financial
54
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.840
ruin if she ever left. Mia painted a picture of
55
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:43.479
a workplace where loyalty was enforced through fear, and where
56
00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.560
even those who wanted to leave felt trapped by NDAs
57
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.520
and the threat of retaliation. The prosecution then shifted to
58
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.800
the business side of Ditty's world, calling Beverly Hills Hotel
59
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.120
director of sales and Marketing Sylvia Oaken to the stand.
60
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.680
Oaken testified about Ditty's use of alien like Frank Black
61
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:05.120
to bookrooms, and jurors saw hotel bills that included hefty
62
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:09.120
charges for oil damage. Echoing previous testimony about the aftermath
63
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:13.800
of Ditty's infamous freak off parties, Oakin described how Ditty
64
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:17.439
and his entourage would frequently request suites with multiple connecting rooms,
65
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.920
and how housekeeping staff would often find rooms trashed after
66
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:24.639
his stays, with broken furniture, stained linens, and evidence of
67
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.800
wild parties that required deep cleaning and repairs. Other hotel
68
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:31.319
staff took the stand to describe the logistical nightmare of
69
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:35.600
accommodating Ditty's demands. One manager recalled how Ditty's team would
70
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:39.279
sometimes book entire floors for privacy and how staff were
71
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.240
given strict instructions not to disturb him or his guests.
72
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:47.439
Another testified about the aftermath of one particularly raucous weekend
73
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.240
there was wax on the carpets, oil on the sheets,
74
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:55.160
and the entire room smelled like a nightclub. The prosecution
75
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:57.759
used these details to reinforce the image of a man
76
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:02.360
who operated above the rules, whose celebrity insulated him from consequences,
77
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.240
and whose private excesses were legendary even in the luxury
78
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:11.279
hotel world. A forensic video analyst, Frank Piazza, also took
79
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:15.720
the stand to authenticate the twenty sixteen Intercontinental Hotel surveillance
80
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:20.319
footage showing Ditty assaulting Cassie Ventura. The jury watched the
81
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:24.600
original unedited version, which the prosecution argues is a crucial
82
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.759
piece of evidence showing Ditty's pattern of violence and control.
83
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:32.879
Piazza explained the technical process of verifying the footage's authenticity,
84
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:35.639
and the jury was able to see the sequence of
85
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.439
events in real time. The defense, meanwhile, tried to cast
86
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:44.160
doubt on the video's context, suggesting it was misleading or manipulated,
87
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:46.519
but the judge allowed the jury to see the footage
88
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:49.600
in full. As the day wore on, the emotional toll
89
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.000
was visible on everyone in the courtroom. Mia after hours
90
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:57.079
of testimony, was visibly drained. The jurors too seemed shaken
91
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.639
by the graphic descriptions and the mounting evidence of a
92
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:03.560
world ruled by fear and secrecy. Ditty, for his part,
93
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:08.399
remained stonefaced, conferring quietly with his attorneys and rarely looking
94
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:19.120
up from the defense table. More in a moment outside
95
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:23.160
the courtroom, the trial's cultural impact continued to ripple. President
96
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:25.399
Donald Trump was asked if he would consider a pardon
97
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.319
for Ditty if convicted, and said he would certainly look
98
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:32.759
at the facts. Meanwhile, Rapper fifty Cent, Ditty's longtime rival,
99
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.839
publicly vowed to oppose any clemency. The parade of celebrities
100
00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:41.839
named in testimony, including Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Leonardo DiCaprio,
101
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:46.959
Jennifer Lopez, Brad Pitt, and Mike Myers, underscored just how
102
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.360
far Ditty's reach once extended and how far the fallout
103
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:53.120
from this trial may go. As we look ahead to
104
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.680
today's proceedings, the prosecution is expected to call at least
105
00:06:56.720 --> 00:07:00.879
one more key witness, possibly another former assistant or an
106
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.519
expert on trauma and coercion, to further tie together the
107
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.959
stories of Cassie Mia and Capricorn Clark. There is also
108
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.279
speculation that the government will introduce new evidence about Ditty's
109
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:16.240
alleged attempts to influence or intimidate other witnesses, including payments
110
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:20.360
or communications after lawsuits were filed. The prosecution may also
111
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:23.199
bring in digital forensics experts to walk the jury through
112
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:27.319
phone records, emails, and encrypted messages that show the extent
113
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.439
of Ditty's efforts to control and monitor those around him.
114
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.800
Court watchers are bracing for more fireworks as the government's
115
00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:38.040
case nears its conclusion. The judge has signaled that closing
116
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.399
arguments could come as soon as next week. If the
117
00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:45.240
prosecution wraps up ahead of schedule. The defense is expected
118
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:49.120
to call its own witnesses, possibly including former employees who
119
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:52.360
stayed loyal to Ditty and experts who will argue that
120
00:07:52.399 --> 00:07:57.879
the prosecution's case is built on exaggeration and opportunism. There
121
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.360
is also growing anticipation about what there any more celebrity
122
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:04.839
witnesses will be called, or if the prosecution will rest
123
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.560
with the testimony it has already laid out. The defense, meanwhile,
124
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:11.959
is preparing to go on the offensive, likely focusing on
125
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:16.040
undermining the credibility of Ditty's accusers and arguing that his world,
126
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:21.000
while wild and sometimes violent, was ultimately consensual. They are
127
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:25.519
expected to highlight inconsistencies and witness statements, question the motives
128
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.439
of those who accepted settlements, and bring in their own
129
00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:32.759
experts to challenge the prosecution's narrative. That's where we stand
130
00:08:32.759 --> 00:08:36.360
as day twenty two begins. The stakes are higher than ever,
131
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.919
and every word in that courtroom could tip the scales.
132
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.879
I'll be back tomorrow with every new revelation, every legal twist,
133
