00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:15.800
Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of

2
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:19.559
the Elite. I am your host, Jim Chapman, and we

3
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:24.280
are back with Believe It or Not, the twenty third

4
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:29.199
episode in the Diddy Saga. Now, typically on Wednesdays we

5
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:32.840
drop a Bad Teacher series, but we will mix it

6
00:00:32.960 --> 00:00:38.479
up a little bit and include Diddy Saga series episodes

7
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:42.719
as information drops and gets out there. Now, the trial

8
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:46.000
starts in May, and we're really going to be heavy

9
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:49.960
covering that. But it's been a while since we brought

10
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.079
you a Diddy episode, and some things have happened over

11
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.479
the past couple of weeks that I thought you may

12
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:59.679
be interested in hearing about. Another lawsuit has been filed.

13
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:05.120
This particular lawsuit has been filed by Sean Combs. He's

14
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.560
striking back against a former associate by the name of

15
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.680
Courtney Burgess, which Courtney can go both ways as far

16
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:15.239
as a name. This can be a male or a female.

17
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.200
In this case, it's a male. Now, did he file

18
00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.920
this lawsuit on the twenty second of January? So we're

19
00:01:21.959 --> 00:01:24.359
going to get into it. I have that lawsuit in

20
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:27.480
front of me, but before I start, I want to

21
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:31.159
reference a really good article from The New York Times.

22
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.879
That gives you a good idea of who Courtney Burgess

23
00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:40.760
is and how he relates to Ditty and even more importantly,

24
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:43.920
how he may have pissed off Didty. And incidentally, this

25
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:48.200
lawsuit was not only filed against Courtney Burgess by Shawn Combes,

26
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:52.760
but also against Next Star Media, which is a big

27
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:57.719
media company that owns News Nation, as well as someone

28
00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:59.920
you've heard me talk about before by the name of

29
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:04.640
Ariel Mitchell. That's the attorney that has really been on

30
00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.360
Ditty's ass for years. And I've talked about some cases

31
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:11.719
in which she is the attorney on those lawsuits. So

32
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.520
let's get into the article and this is how that read.

33
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:19.000
Courtney Burgess and his lawyer Ariel Mitchell are clapping back

34
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:23.479
at Ditty's sons, Christian Combes and Quincy Brown, after they

35
00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:27.840
filed a cease and desist order over Courtney's publication of

36
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:31.759
a tell all book allegedly based on the diaries of

37
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.080
their late mother, Kim Porter. According to The Daily Mail,

38
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.039
the brothers claimed that Burgess, who is a witness in

39
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:43.599
Shawn Diddycombe's sex trafficking trial, was trying to capitalize on

40
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:47.120
their mother's hard earned fame through the book. As per

41
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:51.759
the legal response obtained by TMZ, Burgess and Mitchell said

42
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:55.280
they weren't trying to capitalize on her fame since Porter

43
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.280
was not an actor or entertainer and is only well

44
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:02.240
known for being Ditty's long time partner. Did He's sons

45
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.759
say they are rightful heirs and owner of Porter's IP rights,

46
00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:10.840
while Mitchell told TMZ that Porter had promised Burgess a

47
00:03:10.919 --> 00:03:13.919
copy of her diary before giving it to him, meaning

48
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.759
he allegedly has the rights. Here's what we know about

49
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:23.159
Courtney Burgess amid the ongoing investigation into Sean Diddy Combs.

50
00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:27.560
According to his Facebook profile, Burgess is currently single and

51
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:31.479
Hell's from Newark, New Jersey. It noted that he attended

52
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.199
Valesburg High School, then Clark University and has now been

53
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:38.919
in the entertainment industry for over thirty years. In a

54
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.599
recent interview with News Nation and this is important, he

55
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.680
said he used to work at Big Beat Records. I

56
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.680
think we probably entered the music business at the same

57
00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:52.319
time Burgess set of Diddy. He entered with Uptown and

58
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.319
I entered with Big Beat, which is Atlantic. According to

59
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.919
his Instagram bio, He is also current CEO of Alter

60
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:03.159
the Ego Records Now. According to The New York Times,

61
00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.319
Burgess said that Kim Porter did his's ex had given

62
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:10.120
him video footage in a manuscript, which he described as

63
00:04:10.159 --> 00:04:13.520
a rough draft of her alleged memoir. And for those

64
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.079
of you that may not know, Kim Porter is not

65
00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:21.160
alive anymore, she died several years ago, but I'll continue on.

66
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:24.800
Per the newspaper, the US government issued Burgess with a

67
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:30.439
subpoena to produce any electronic devices or files related to created, by,

68
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:36.079
recorded by, and or depicting Combs. I ain't nervous, Burgess

69
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:39.399
told reporters outside the courthouse in October. The only thing

70
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.000
that puts fear in me is God. In an interview

71
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:46.040
with the YouTube show called Inside True Crime, Burgess claimed

72
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:49.639
that he saw videos with two young or underage artists

73
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:53.079
in one of the tapes he obtained. One of Porter's friends,

74
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.959
Lawanda Lane, who lived with her for over twenty years,

75
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.720
says she didn't know who Burgess was, per The New

76
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:03.079
York Time, saying I've never heard of this man in

77
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:07.240
my life. The fifty nine page book Kim's Lost Words

78
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:11.839
was released on Amazon under the pseudonym Jamal T. Millwood

79
00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:14.879
in September, but has since been removed from the website

80
00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:19.319
after it was denounced as fraudulent by Porter's children. Although

81
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:22.800
Burgess said he has never met Ditty, only seeing him

82
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:25.519
in the tapes he obtained, he has spoken out against

83
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.319
the rapper. In his interview with News Nation, he said

84
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.759
he refers to Ditty as a Lucifer. I know y'all

85
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:35.759
call him Ditty or Puff. I call him Lucifer, Burgess

86
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:39.680
was quoted as saying, and he also regularly post about

87
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:43.000
Tupac Shakur. According to The New York Times, Burgess was

88
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:47.480
a part of Tupac Shakur's extended orbit before the rapper's

89
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.240
death in nineteen ninety six. I was like his shadow,

90
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:55.439
always in the background, watching his back. Burgess said. He

91
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.800
continues to this day to share tributes of Shakur on

92
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.519
his social media. So that is a little background on

93
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:08.959
this guy. Apparently, he claims that Kim Porter, before her death,

94
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:13.560
gave him her diaries basically, and he released these diaries

95
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.120
on Amazon later on, as I just told you, they

96
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:21.639
pulled it after Porter's children claimed this was all bullshit.

97
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:26.959
But now he's entangled with a lawsuit against Seawn Combs.

98
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:31.240
So let's get into the lawsuit itself. And as I said,

99
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:35.759
this was filed January twenty second of twenty twenty five,

100
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.839
and it's filed against Courtney Burgess, Ariel Mitchell, and next

101
00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:43.120
Door Media, Inc. And it reads plain if Sewn Combs

102
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:47.720
by and through his undersigned council shar Tremonte LLP for

103
00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:51.759
his complaint against Courtney Burgess, Area Mitchell, next Door Media.

104
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:56.199
And then it has in parentheses News Nation collectively as

105
00:06:56.279 --> 00:07:00.199
defendants and alleges the follows, And it gets into the

106
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.759
nature of the action. This case is about defendants willful

107
00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:08.800
scheme to fabricate and broadcast outrageous lies concerning mister Combs

108
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:12.439
and then leverage those falsehoods to gain social media fame

109
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:17.199
and rich others instruct mister Combes of his reputation, livelihood,

110
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:21.639
and right to a fair trial. Social media protagonists, including

111
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:25.560
but not limited to the defendants Burgess and Mitchell, have

112
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:30.519
for months been fueling a media frenzy, fabricating outlandish claims

113
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.879
and stirring up baseless speculation about mister Combes, vying to

114
00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:38.759
outdo each other in a shameless competition to draw attention

115
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:41.959
to themselves with no regard for the truth. In this

116
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.839
pitiful spectacle, all pretense of objectivity has been abandoned as

117
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.879
a global audience feast on the all you can eat

118
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:54.480
buffet of wild lies and conspiracy theories. Defendants are among

119
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:58.600
the worst perpetrators in this offensive scenario. They eagerly court

120
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:02.720
every opportunity to brow cast blatant falsehoods, pretending they have

121
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.639
proved that mister Combs engaged in heinous acts, knowing no

122
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:10.480
such proof exists. As a result, millions of people have

123
00:08:10.519 --> 00:08:13.920
come to believe in this made up evidence that defendants

124
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:18.240
have falsely described and vouched for the torrent of lies

125
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:21.680
and the immeasurable harm and prejudice it is causing to

126
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:26.879
mister Combes must stop. Burgess falsely claimed that he possessed

127
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:30.600
videos of mister Combes involved in a sexual assault of

128
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:35.320
celebrities and minors. Burgess repeated these false claims many times

129
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.799
to anyone that would listen, including reporters from major news outlets,

130
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:45.120
including News Nation, which recklessly repeatedly and amplified as lies

131
00:08:45.159 --> 00:08:48.519
as if they were true. Thus, Burgers baseless lies were

132
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:53.159
rebroadcast on social and traditional media platforms. That reach millions

133
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:57.000
of viewers in the United States and abroad. His attorney, Mitchell,

134
00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:00.919
repeated those lies. Like Burgess, Mitchell knew that her client's

135
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:05.120
claims were false or at a minimum, were utterly reckless

136
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.320
in disregarding their falsity because no tapes exist and because

137
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:13.480
Mitchell never saw any video depicting mister Combe's sexually abusing

138
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:18.519
anyone adult or minor, Mitchell's many false assertions that Burgess

139
00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:23.200
possessed such videos were either knowingly blatantly falsehoods or reckless

140
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:27.080
false statements made as a direct result of Mitchell's inexcusable

141
00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:32.200
failure to investigate her client's lies. Burgess peddled his false

142
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:35.399
and defamatory statements about mister Combs to promote himself on

143
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.799
social media, and Mitchell did the same, both seeking to

144
00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:44.679
capitalize on the resulting publicity for financial gain. Together, Burgess, Mitchell,

145
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:49.240
and News Nation have caused profound reputational, in economic injury,

146
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:53.159
and severe prejudice to mister Combs. In this action, mister

147
00:09:53.200 --> 00:09:57.720
Combe seeks money damages, including punitive damages, for the harm

148
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:02.960
the defendants false and defamatory statements have caused. And that's

149
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:08.440
how the introduction if you will reads, then he gets

150
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:12.480
into the factual background. What is the basis for all this? Right?

151
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:17.159
Shawn Combs became famous for his extraordinary and historic achievements

152
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:21.919
as a musician and music producer, hip hop impresario, record

153
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:27.399
label owner, fashion innovator, in icon path breaking spirits, entrepreneur,

154
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:31.879
and committed philanthropist. Mister Combs is among the most accomplished

155
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:36.000
businessmen of his generation. In September of twenty twenty four,

156
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:38.799
mister Combs was indicted in the Southern District of New

157
00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:43.200
York on federal reconteering and sex trafficking charges. Mister Combs

158
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:45.799
entered a plea of not guilty to those charges on

159
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:50.960
September seventeenth, empathetically and unequivocally denies these charges against him

160
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.600
and is preparing to contest the government's evidence such as

161
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.039
it is at trial beginning on May fifth of twenty

162
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.399
twenty five. Mister Combs has failed in the integrity of

163
00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:06.399
the judicial system is confident the jury will acquit him definite.

164
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:09.879
Burgess has been described as a one time industry bit

165
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:15.120
player quote unquote and a fringe character in the recent

166
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:19.240
Moss seeking to capitalize on the media's insatiable appetite for

167
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:23.320
celebrity scandal, Burgess has gone to great lengths to invent

168
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:28.519
and publicize outrageous falsehoods about mister Combe. In media interviews,

169
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:31.799
Burgess claims he has worked in the music industry for decades,

170
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:37.000
yet no public record of any professional achievement exists. He

171
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:40.600
has left no detectable footprint on the industry prior to

172
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:45.039
his recent campaign to malign mister Combs. His malicious conduct,

173
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.759
which according to The New York Times, has only amped

174
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:51.519
up the circus like frenzy surrounding mister Comb's case, is

175
00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:56.039
intended to garner publicity and profit from the attention surrounding

176
00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:00.000
mister Combe's legal proceedings. Burgess has never met mister Combe

177
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.200
and has never had any relationship with anyone in the

178
00:12:03.240 --> 00:12:08.600
Combes family. Nevertheless, Burgess claims on multiple occasions at Kim Porter,

179
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.720
the mother of several children mister Combs, who died in

180
00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:14.799
twenty eighteen, provided him with a copy of her memoir

181
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:21.120
and videos depicting mister Combe sexually assaulting inebriated celebrities and minors.

182
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.559
Those close to Miss Porter, including her children and her

183
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:27.480
roommate for over twenty years, had never heard of mister

184
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:32.279
Burgess before he made these utterly implausible and completely false claims.

185
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:36.080
Yet mister Burgess has made these false claims numerous times

186
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.360
to the press and in social media appearances. In one

187
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:43.279
such interview broadcast October thirty first, twenty twenty four on

188
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:47.120
the Atwood Unleashed YouTube channel, and I'm familiar with that

189
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:51.600
YouTube channel. This guy, Sean Otwood is actually an ex con.

190
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:56.159
He was a big time drug dealer in I believe

191
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.679
it was Arizona and finally got al and he has

192
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.399
a huge channel now. But we'll move on. Burgess elaborated

193
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:07.679
on that false claim that he received those materials directly

194
00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.639
from Kim Porter. In that podcast, host Sean Atwood, whose

195
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:15.600
YouTube channel boasts nine hundred and forty six thousand subscribers,

196
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:19.320
introduced Burgess in one interview by notating that he has

197
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:24.039
certainly been making waves on the internet. Atwood also noted

198
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.679
that we've had so much interest in this one and

199
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:29.840
promised to quote get down with some crazy things that

200
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:35.480
Courtney has personally experienced unquote. On the broadcast, Burgess falsely

201
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:38.679
claimed that miss Porter enlisted the help of a music

202
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:43.759
industry mutual acquaintance to put her files in Burgess's hands. Specifically,

203
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:47.279
Burgess claimed that this individual called Burgess and told him,

204
00:13:47.399 --> 00:13:50.000
I've got something for you. Kim told me to give

205
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:53.279
you something. She's got something she wants you to work with.

206
00:13:53.840 --> 00:13:57.480
Burgess went on to claim, again falsely, that the same

207
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.519
individual later met with Burgers in the US York and

208
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:04.519
delivered to him the first of several flash drives containing

209
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:08.919
the memoir and videos that miss Porter supposedly intended for

210
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:13.080
him to have, even though even according to Burgess, miss

211
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:16.799
Porter had no more than a passing acquaintance with Burgess.

212
00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:21.399
During the interview, Atwood posted still images that he and

213
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:25.399
his co host Tommy Scoville and Burgess insinuated had come

214
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:29.200
from the videos that Burgess falsely claimed Kim Porter had

215
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:33.960
provided to him. They describe one as depicting Justin Bieber,

216
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:39.720
a famous recording artist, kissing an unidentified male. Atwood asked

217
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:44.759
is this picture legit, and Burgess responded yes, yes, definitely.

218
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.639
Scoville ventured a guest as to the identity of the

219
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:53.240
unidentified male, speculating it's one of those music execs, because

220
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:56.240
you know, allegedly a lot of those guys, I mean,

221
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:00.600
that's why they're in there, they're weirdos like the rest

222
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:04.639
of them, having labeled all music industry executives as weirdo.

223
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:08.639
Scoville then asked Burgess, how freaked out were you the

224
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:11.440
first time you got a look at some of the images?

225
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:15.480
Shocker or what? And Burgess responded that he was freaked

226
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.559
out because my daughter was a listener of Justin Bieber.

227
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.240
You understand. Burgess stated that Bieber was a child at

228
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.639
the time. Burgess characterized Bieber as a victim who loved it,

229
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:29.799
loved being treated like that, and that's what happens when

230
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:33.240
you're a kid. Burgess went on to compare mister Combs

231
00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:37.639
to Lucifer, claiming that mister Combes, like Lucifer, destroyed bodies,

232
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:40.759
he destroyed careers. He could get you where you want

233
00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:43.240
to be at, but you're going to have to give

234
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:48.039
up your back end Burgess atwood In. Scoville also commented

235
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.919
on an image that appeared to depict mister Combes with

236
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:55.039
his arm around an adult woman's shoulder. Despite the absence

237
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:59.519
of any indication in the image of any untoward conduct,

238
00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.759
Burgess suggested that the woman was underage. I think she's

239
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:07.360
about eighteen right there. She looks about eighteen. Following up

240
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:12.799
on Burgess's comment, Schofield falsely suggested the photographs evidence sexual

241
00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:17.679
misconduct with minors. Yeah, it's just it's disturbing how the

242
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:20.399
number of people who appear to be under age in

243
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:23.559
all of these things, you know they I think that's

244
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:28.039
probably what we're going to see on these superseding indictments.

245
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:30.879
It's got to be man, it just keeps coming back

246
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:34.919
to the underage thing again again and again. It's terrifying.

247
00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:38.720
Burgess and Schofield's statements about these images on the Atwent

248
00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:43.879
Unleashed podcast were specifically and maliciously intended to convince viewers

249
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:47.799
falsely that Burgess possessed and Atwood and Schofield had singing

250
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:50.960
evidence of mister Combs that he had engaged in sexual

251
00:16:51.000 --> 00:16:53.960
abuse of celebrities and minors, even though they knew these

252
00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:57.559
claims were false when they made them. On the same broadcast,

253
00:16:57.720 --> 00:17:02.240
Burgess insinuated falsely talking about mister Combs and the fake

254
00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:05.480
memoir and videos put him in danger of his life.

255
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:09.920
Burgess also described his efforts to market the fake Porter

256
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:13.920
memoir on Amazon dot Com, which he initially gave the

257
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:18.359
goulish title Kim's Lost words. After the book was denounced

258
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:21.839
by miss Porter's family and others as fake, Amazon pulled

259
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:26.799
the volume from its website. Subsequently, Burgess marketed other equally

260
00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:31.559
false and defamatory versions of the book, titled kim Porter

261
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:35.440
Tell It It All on a different website. Burgess described

262
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:38.440
the second version as R rated in contrast to the

263
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:42.640
PG version on the fake Memoir Upon Information and Belief.

264
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:46.759
Sometime enter around September of twenty twenty four, Burgess contacted

265
00:17:46.799 --> 00:17:49.759
Ariel Mitchell, seeking to team up with a lawyer in

266
00:17:49.799 --> 00:17:53.960
an attempt to legitimize and profit from his outrageous lies.

267
00:17:54.440 --> 00:17:58.039
Mitchell is a civil litigator at her law firm. On

268
00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:01.920
her firm's website, she boasts that practice focuses on high

269
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:06.599
profile cases, including claims of sex assault perpetrated by a celebrity.

270
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:10.200
In or around twenty twenty one, Mitchell brought a lawsuit

271
00:18:10.200 --> 00:18:14.559
against plaintiff and the celebrity musician Trey Songs on behalf

272
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.640
of women claiming sexual assault by Trey. In twenty twenty two,

273
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.200
a witness in that lawsuit testified that Mitchell tried to

274
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:26.039
bribe her to lie about witnessing the perpetrated assault and

275
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:29.920
being assaulted herself in er. Around twenty twenty two, Mitchell

276
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:33.720
brought a twenty million dollars lawsuit against rapper Chris Brown

277
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:37.559
on behalf of woman claiming that Brown raped her. After

278
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.240
Brown posted a series of texts and voicemails reflecting a

279
00:18:41.279 --> 00:18:45.759
consensual relationship with the plaintiff, Mitchell withdrew the suit. In

280
00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:49.319
the summer of twenty twenty four, Mitchell filed lawsuits against

281
00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:52.960
plaintiff on behalf of an adult entertainer who alleged she

282
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:57.240
had been sex traffied by mister Combs. After filing the lawsuit,

283
00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:59.960
Mitchell launched a media to her in which she repeat

284
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.400
ely promoted herself as an authority on the federal grand

285
00:19:03.440 --> 00:19:08.279
jury investigation into mister Combs, including an interview with TMZ

286
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.680
during which Mitchell sat in front of a prompt copy

287
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:14.599
of an issue of Vibe magazine with mister Combs on

288
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:17.559
the cover and represented she would very shortly be in

289
00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:22.119
a position to comment on that investigation. Mitchell has brought

290
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.400
at least two other lawsuits against mister Combs to date.

291
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:29.000
Even though Mitchell has not served either of those lawsuits,

292
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:32.440
she has spoken about them extensively to the media. In

293
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:36.920
exchange for press appearances to discuss the allegations against mister Combs.

294
00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:41.559
Mitchell has demanded luxury accommodations, including first class flights to

295
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:44.200
New York, a minimum to night state at a four

296
00:19:44.240 --> 00:19:48.640
star hotel on site here in makeup services, meals and snacks,

297
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:54.240
and unspecified materials fees. She has insisted moreover that such

298
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:58.960
interviews must occur in New York City. After Burgess engaged her,

299
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:03.200
Mitchell continued you peddling false claims to various media outlets.

300
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:06.839
For example, in a television interview with News Nation that

301
00:20:07.039 --> 00:20:10.839
was broadcast on or about September twenty seventh, twenty twenty four,

302
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:14.759
Mitchell falsely stated that there have already been tapes leaked

303
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:19.799
around Hollywood being shopped around to individuals in Hollywood, presumably

304
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:24.480
referencing Burgess and or one of his affiliates. Mitchell continued,

305
00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:27.920
one particular person contact to me to shop a particular

306
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:30.720
video they were in possession of, and to contact the

307
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:32.680
person who was in the video to see if they

308
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:37.839
were interested in purchasing the video before it became public knowledge.

309
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:41.559
Mitchell described the request as a quote unquote catch and

310
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.200
kill and stated that mister Combs was in the tape,

311
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.400
and this other person was, I would venture to say,

312
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.559
more high profile than mister Combes. Mitchell falsely confirmed the

313
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.960
video exists and that it is real, and that the

314
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:59.799
person in the video who is very visible, it's no

315
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.680
question if it's that person in the video, and I

316
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:07.359
can tell the video is pornographic in nature with no

317
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.839
evidentiary support. The News Nation hosts, speaking about mister Combs's home,

318
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.799
then said to Mitchell, it sounds like there were probably

319
00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:19.400
a lot of hitting cameras in there as well. Mitchell

320
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:22.720
falsely confirmed this, and then further stated, based on her

321
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:26.680
review of the supposed false evidence, that it doesn't seem

322
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:30.880
like the person knows they're being videotaped, and it is

323
00:21:31.319 --> 00:21:36.279
like they're being surpetitiously recorded. These statements were false. Mitchell

324
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:41.079
never possessed pornographic images involving mister Combs and any celebrity,

325
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:44.400
was never able to confirm the existence of any such

326
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.519
videos of mister Combs, and was never in a position

327
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:51.480
to confirm that any celebrity was surpetitiously recorded in a

328
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:55.960
sex act with mister Combs, and thus knew or recklessly

329
00:21:56.359 --> 00:22:00.359
disregarded that her statements were false. When she made them.

330
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:04.960
News Nation, upon information and belief, conducted no investigation before

331
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:08.839
broadcasting these false allegations. THO would easily could have done so.

332
00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:13.759
Mitchell also told News Nation on that broadcast about another client,

333
00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:17.079
a woman who alleged mister Combs sexually assaulted her in

334
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:22.960
North California in twenty eighteen. This client's allegations are false.

335
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:27.960
Mitchell falsely represented that her clients fabricated claims were coroborated,

336
00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:33.000
even though Mitchell knew they were not. Specifically, Mitchell falsely stated,

337
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:35.960
we also have a police report that was made in

338
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:40.599
twenty eighteen. Later in the interview, the host repeated Mitchell's assertion,

339
00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:46.559
emphasizing about the purported police reports. You guys actually have one.

340
00:22:46.759 --> 00:22:49.000
The host then asked, are we going to be able

341
00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:52.240
to see it? Mitchell falsely confirmed that she would produce

342
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:55.640
the report. She answered the host yes, as soon as

343
00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:58.279
I found my lawsuit in civil court, I will be

344
00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:02.400
attaching the criminal complaint that was made. These statements, in

345
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:06.200
which Mitchell claimed to possess a police report corroborating her

346
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:10.559
client's fabricated allegations, were false, and Mitchell knew they were

347
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:14.319
false when she made them. Roughly two weeks after the

348
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:18.480
News Nation broadcasts, Mitchell filed the lawsuit she had previewed.

349
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.279
Contrary to her false assertions, the lawsuit did not attach

350
00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:26.799
any police report. Subsequently, the Walnut Creek Police Department denied

351
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.920
having any involvement in the allegations made by Mitchell's client.

352
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:35.319
The Contra Coasta County Sheriff's Office released a statement that

353
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:39.480
said they had thoroughly investigated the allegations and determined the

354
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:44.640
claims were unfounded. News Nation broadcast its September twenty seventh,

355
00:23:44.680 --> 00:23:48.400
twenty twenty four interview with Mitchell without fact checking Mitchell's

356
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.079
false and injurious accusations. News Nation did not even reach

357
00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:55.799
out to mister Combe's reps for comment. Burgess and Mitchell's

358
00:23:55.839 --> 00:24:00.680
repeated false, in defamatory claims that Burgess possessed video depicting

359
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:06.000
mister Combe's sexually assaulting celebrities, including miners, led federal prosecutors

360
00:24:06.000 --> 00:24:09.079
to Subpoenaham to a grand jury sitting in New York,

361
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:12.200
New York. On the day he appeared before the grand jury,

362
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:15.680
Burgess and Mitchell gave an interview on the courthouse steps,

363
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.880
during which they acknowledged that US marshals had visited residences

364
00:24:19.920 --> 00:24:24.039
to ensure compliance with the subpoena. In this and subsequent

365
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:28.279
price in social media appearances, Burgess and Mitchell continued to

366
00:24:28.359 --> 00:24:32.920
repeat false and defamatory claims that Burgess possessed videos depicting

367
00:24:32.920 --> 00:24:37.759
mister Combe's sexually assaulting celebrities, including miners. For example, on

368
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:41.680
or about October thirty first of twenty twenty four, Burgess

369
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:46.160
and Mitchell appeared on News Nation's Banfield Show, also broadcast

370
00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:49.559
on YouTube. The host introduced the interview by announcing that

371
00:24:49.599 --> 00:24:54.039
Burgess just testified before federal grand jury. He says he

372
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:57.359
was in possession of a trove of digital evidence of

373
00:24:57.519 --> 00:25:02.039
Diddy's freak Off parties Zamous Courtney Burgess, and he says

374
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:05.319
a friend gave him eleven flash drives that belonged to

375
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:08.359
the late Kim Porter. Did He's ex girlfriend and the

376
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.599
mother of his kids. On those drives, the witness says

377
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:16.519
eight videos featured eight celebrities at didy freak Off parties,

378
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:20.720
in that six were males and two were females. The

379
00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:23.240
host went on to note because the eight people in

380
00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:26.920
the videos the eight celebrities who were allegedly victims of

381
00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:30.359
sex crimes. We know who they are, but we will

382
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:34.640
not be naming them famous or not. This statement was false,

383
00:25:34.720 --> 00:25:38.440
and the News Nation host knew it was false. Disregarded

384
00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:41.279
whether the statements were true or false because she had

385
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:46.279
never seen such videos because they don't exist. During the broadcast,

386
00:25:46.359 --> 00:25:50.279
Burgess and Mitchell confirmed that Burgess had been subpoened into

387
00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:53.599
a federal grand jury in Manhattan. In response to the

388
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:57.960
host questioning, Burgess falsely stated that all eight celebrities who

389
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:01.799
were recorded having intimate relations with Sean Combs, two or

390
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:06.119
three possibly three appeared to be minors, and all appeared ineborated,

391
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:09.599
and all, to be honest, were victims of sexual assault,

392
00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:13.200
and that was a quote. Burgess also repeated his false

393
00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:16.240
claim about the fake memoir. The host asked him, do

394
00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:18.960
you know if the notes from the book really were

395
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:22.759
from kim Porter. Burgess responded, yes, because I spoke to

396
00:26:22.799 --> 00:26:26.359
her probably like six hours before I got it received it.

397
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:30.640
In another interview, Burgess claimed that federal law enforcement seized

398
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:33.640
the flash drives from his home. This too was false.

399
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.599
On October seventh of twenty twenty four, Mitchell also falsely

400
00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:41.240
claimed that she had done quote research indicating that baby

401
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:45.240
oil may be used as conduit for transmitting drugs mixed

402
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:47.799
in the oil to another person for the purpose of

403
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:52.880
incapacitating them. Mitchell suggested moreover that mister Combs did this

404
00:26:53.000 --> 00:26:55.960
to one of her clients, referring to the baby ola

405
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:59.720
when mixing drug h'all that statement was a lie. Mitchell

406
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:03.359
formed no such research, and even if she had, there's

407
00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:06.759
no scientific basis for asserting that baby oil could be

408
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:11.279
infused with drugs to incapacitate anyone. Again, Mitchell knew or

409
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:14.000
should have known, that her statements were false when she

410
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:17.519
made them. Mitchell made statements throughout the interview that were

411
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:22.559
unambiguously intended to convince viewers not only that Burgess was

412
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:26.680
telling the truth, but also that she had independently coroborated

413
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:30.480
his claims and was vouching for them. Mitchell made similar

414
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:33.279
statements on her about the same day as the Banfield

415
00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.359
YouTube broadcast, during a separate interview she and Burgess gave

416
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:41.240
outside of a Federal District court in Manhattan. In the interview,

417
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.119
the reporter asked, I know you can't mention celebrities, per se,

418
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:48.960
you did mention some in the interview, so just to

419
00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:53.440
clarify you can back that up with actual factual footage,

420
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:57.720
Mitchell responded, we have, yeah, it's things that we have.

421
00:27:58.000 --> 00:28:02.240
Mitchell intended this statement to convinced viewers that burgess false

422
00:28:02.279 --> 00:28:05.960
claims about mister Combs were true, even though she knew

423
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:10.440
or recklessly disregarded at the time that his claims were

424
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:15.720
false in her shameless pursuit of the spotlight. Mitchell repeated

425
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:19.079
these known lies in the documentary The Making of the

426
00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:24.319
Band that aired on NBC's Peacock format on January fourteenth

427
00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:28.400
of twenty twenty five. In that documentary, Mitchell endorsed the

428
00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:32.440
ludicrous allegations of her client Burgess, stating that Burgess had

429
00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:36.359
done interviews where he purported to own several flash drives

430
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:41.319
that included sex tapes with eight distinct individuals, including a Less, celebrities,

431
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.400
and Diddy, all engaged in sex. He believed these people

432
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:48.440
were intoxicated and they may not have known they were

433
00:28:48.519 --> 00:28:55.480
being recorded, then explicitly endorsing Burgess's known lies as truths,

434
00:28:55.519 --> 00:29:00.119
Mitchell added, and Courtney ultimately handed over the video to

435
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:05.240
the federal government. These statements were completely false. Mitchell knew

436
00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:08.519
these statements were false because no video was ever turned

437
00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:12.880
over to the government because no video exists. Mitchell did

438
00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:16.799
not stop there. She continued to lend credence to burgess lives,

439
00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:20.799
asserting that mister Combs took these videos, which she knew

440
00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:24.119
did not exist, so that he could wield power over

441
00:29:24.200 --> 00:29:28.279
the purported subjects. It was to advance his influence and

442
00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:31.519
power because now I have them on videos, she was

443
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:34.200
quoted as saying. She went on to say, I'm going

444
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:37.400
to take this to your wife. I'll take this to

445
00:29:37.440 --> 00:29:40.880
your husband, I'll take it public, and I'll ruin you

446
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.119
if you don't do this for me. During the interview

447
00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:49.000
in the Making of a Bad Boy, which is another documentary, y'all,

448
00:29:49.599 --> 00:29:53.519
Mitchell shamelessly permoded herself as a lawyer who had filed

449
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:57.599
several cases against Seawan Combs for sexual assault and asserted,

450
00:29:58.480 --> 00:30:01.839
with no basis of fact and with utter disregard for

451
00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:04.240
the truth, that mister Combs is a man who has

452
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:07.799
done awful things to hundreds and maybe thousands of people.

453
00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:12.920
Defendants eagerly peddled these lives to enrich themselves. Burgess has

454
00:30:13.039 --> 00:30:17.319
profited from his fake kim Porter memoir, which, prior to

455
00:30:17.359 --> 00:30:20.839
being pulled from the Amazon website briefly rose to the

456
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:25.119
top of its best seller's list. Burgess's willingness to profit

457
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:29.440
from the fabricated memoir proves that he is callously indifferent

458
00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:32.720
to the emotional distress of Miss Porter's children and has

459
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:36.319
nothing but contempt for the feeling of Miss Porter's extended

460
00:30:36.359 --> 00:30:40.519
family and many friends who were heartbroken by her untimely death.

461
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:43.599
Mitchell has also sought to profit from her false and

462
00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:48.079
defamatory statements about mister Combs. Mitchell has seized every opportunity

463
00:30:48.319 --> 00:30:51.359
to promote herself in the media, and has insisted on

464
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:56.039
valuable benefits and payments in exchange for interviews, including first

465
00:30:56.039 --> 00:31:00.720
class airfare, four star trivel, hair and makeup allowances, and

466
00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:05.240
immterials fee. News Nation has likewise profited from repeating and

467
00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:09.519
amplifying Burgess and mitchelled lies, drawing viewers and promoting its

468
00:31:09.519 --> 00:31:13.559
programming based on wholly unsubstantiated lies that would have been

469
00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:17.839
revealed as false had News Nation conducted even the most

470
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:23.519
modest fact checking. Defendants made false, intofamatory statements about mister Combs,

471
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:27.759
knowing they were false, with reckless disregard of their falsity,

472
00:31:27.920 --> 00:31:31.400
and that's pretty much the gist of that lawsuit, and

473
00:31:31.440 --> 00:31:37.000
he is suing for fifty million dollars, So I will

474
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:41.720
certainly keep you updated on that, but that is the

475
00:31:41.799 --> 00:31:45.440
latest lawsuit. Be curious to know what you think. It's

476
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:51.119
important to note that this lawsuit is a libel lawsuit,

477
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:54.519
and there's a big burden of proof in libel cases

478
00:31:54.519 --> 00:31:57.200
from the side of the person doing the suing. First

479
00:31:57.240 --> 00:31:59.759
and foremost, they have to be able to prove that

480
00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:02.839
the person saying whatever it was they were saying, they

481
00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:05.559
knew it was false when they said it. So they're

482
00:32:05.680 --> 00:32:08.640
very hard to prove because we do have the First

483
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:13.240
Amendment in this country. My podcast, for example, it's more commentary.

484
00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:16.640
I'm telling you what's out there, and I'm commenting on it.

485
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:20.640
I'm titled to an opinion, just as you're entitled to

486
00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:25.000
an opinion, and thus we are protected by the freedom

487
00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:29.599
of speech. We just can't put out knowingly false information.

488
00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:34.480
So that wasn't the only thing that came out since

489
00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:37.240
the last time I joined you with a Diddy related

490
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:41.119
episode on January thirtieth, it came out that did he

491
00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:45.799
allegedly forced three women into commercial sex acts and how

492
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:49.680
that came out. The original indictment that the federal government

493
00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:53.000
filed way back in September twenty twenty four against Sean

494
00:32:53.079 --> 00:32:58.680
Comb's got amended to include that information. And there was

495
00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:01.599
a pretty good report put out by USA today. I'm

496
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:05.319
going to reference that right now, and it says Shawan

497
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:10.680
Diddy Combs is facing additional allegations of sexual abuse and racketeering.

498
00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:14.599
According to the amended indictment in the Music Muggles ongoing

499
00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:18.839
criminal case, Combs, who was charged with racketeering, sex trafficking,

500
00:33:18.920 --> 00:33:23.319
and transportation to engage in prostitution following his September twenty

501
00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:27.000
twenty four arrest, was accused of victimizing a trio of

502
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:31.119
women as part of his alleged sex trafficking enterprise, and

503
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:34.799
a revised indictment filed in the Southern District of New York,

504
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:39.079
Combs and other members and associates of Combe's enterprise wielded

505
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:42.319
the power and prestige of Combe's role at the Comb's

506
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:47.319
business to intimidate, threatening, lure female victims into Combe's orbit

507
00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:51.200
under the pretense of a romantic relationship. Now you already

508
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:55.920
know what the original indictment said, but Thursday's revised indictment

509
00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:59.400
alleged Combs used force, threats of force, and coercion to

510
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:05.519
compel alleged victims, which include three unnamed women, to engage

511
00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:09.920
in commercial sex acts in exchange for their participation. Combs

512
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:15.599
reportedly compensated these individuals with monetary payments, career opportunities, and

513
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:19.559
payment of rent in housing expenses. Now, in a statement,

514
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:25.639
Comb's attorney blasted prosecutors amended indictment, noting it contained no

515
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:30.800
new offenses in Combe's case, the prosecution's theory remains flawed.

516
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:34.360
The government has added to the ridiculous theory that two

517
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:37.400
of mister Combe's former girlfriends were not girlfriends at all,

518
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:41.719
but were prostitutes. Mister Combs is as committed as ever

519
00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:47.679
fighting these charges. Now also coming out as of late,

520
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:51.440
and I have received a ton of messages on this

521
00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:55.000
with people asking me if I watched that Fall of

522
00:34:55.199 --> 00:34:58.960
Ditty documentary that came out on ID channel and featured

523
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:01.280
a lot of new information. So I'm going to cover

524
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:04.960
the new claims in detail with you now that were

525
00:35:05.079 --> 00:35:10.079
covered on the Fall of Ditty documentary, which was pretty good.

526
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:15.079
I thought it was very well done. And Vibe magazine

527
00:35:15.159 --> 00:35:19.519
came out with a pretty good article covering what's new,

528
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:23.480
and one of the first new revelations that was discussed

529
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:26.960
in the Fall of Ditty was a Howard University alumni

530
00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:31.199
alleged domestic violence and it reads. An alumni of Comb's

531
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:35.880
alma mater, Howard University, alleged they witnessed Combs assault a

532
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:40.599
female student on campus. The former Howard University student, who

533
00:35:40.719 --> 00:35:44.239
is not identified in the docuseries, said the alleged nineteen

534
00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:48.280
eighty eight incident took place outside their dorm after Combs

535
00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:52.079
was spotted angrily searching for the female student, at one

536
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:55.559
point whipping the wall with his belt. When the female

537
00:35:55.639 --> 00:35:58.760
student met when mister Combs, the Howard alumni claimed, he

538
00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:03.320
began beating her. Despite the alumni's verbal protests from their

539
00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:07.559
dorm window. Comes interaction with the young woman continued into

540
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:11.639
the doorway of a different dorm quote, nobody actually really

541
00:36:11.679 --> 00:36:14.960
came to her rescue like we probably should have. The

542
00:36:15.039 --> 00:36:19.519
Howard alumni reflected, it's very important to tell this young

543
00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:23.480
woman's story because he was never held accountable. Comes was

544
00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:27.840
presented with an honorary degree from Howard University in twenty fourteen,

545
00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:31.960
which was later rescinded by the college board. Of Trustees

546
00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:36.000
in June of twenty twenty four. Also in that documentary,

547
00:36:36.079 --> 00:36:38.880
a concert promoter said, did he pursuit him in a

548
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:44.239
high speed chase amid East Coast West Coast feud? Concert

549
00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:48.599
promoter Deit Gilmour claims that Comes retaliated against him during

550
00:36:48.599 --> 00:36:51.360
an East Coast West Coast feud that defined hip hop

551
00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:55.920
culture in the mid nineteen nineties. Gilmour sued Comes and

552
00:36:56.000 --> 00:36:59.119
his bodyguards in November for assault and battery over the

553
00:36:59.199 --> 00:37:04.559
alleged ninety six incident. In the documentary, Gilmore claims Comes

554
00:37:04.639 --> 00:37:07.679
targeted him after the music Muggles spotted him wearing a

555
00:37:07.719 --> 00:37:11.719
T shirt that read Death Row East. Death Row Records,

556
00:37:11.840 --> 00:37:15.119
and the Los Angeles based record label co founded by

557
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:18.639
sug Knight, was famously at odds with Combes and Bad

558
00:37:18.679 --> 00:37:23.559
Boy Records due to a rivalry between the respective artists

559
00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:28.360
Tupac and the Notorious Big. He aligned his beef with

560
00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:31.239
sug Knight and Death Row in the West Coast with

561
00:37:31.360 --> 00:37:35.000
that T shirt, Gilmore said, so it's like, how dare

562
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:38.920
you jump on the other side. Gilmore also alleged Comes

563
00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:41.920
to pursue him in a high speed chase throughout Manhattan

564
00:37:41.920 --> 00:37:45.599
following a tense conversation in their vehicles. At one point,

565
00:37:45.599 --> 00:37:48.440
the concert perimeter said he and a friend her gunfire,

566
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:51.800
though it was unclear where the shots came from. My

567
00:37:51.920 --> 00:37:56.559
whole future would be erased through your menace to society,

568
00:37:56.679 --> 00:38:00.760
said Gilmore, seemingly addressing Combes, my store is just a

569
00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:04.360
piece of a bigger puzzle of mayhem and a shooting

570
00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:08.840
victim recalled the nineteen ninety nine club incident. A woman

571
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:12.440
who claims Comb shot her during a nineteen ninety nine

572
00:38:12.440 --> 00:38:16.519
club altercation with fellow rapper Shine, is reflecting on the

573
00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:22.679
hairing incident. Natania Griffin, previously identified as Natania Reuben, said

574
00:38:22.920 --> 00:38:26.000
the moments leading up to the shooting, she witnessed Combs

575
00:38:26.159 --> 00:38:30.000
and Shine both reached toward their waist to grab the

576
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:33.079
firearms as they were exiting Club New York. The woman

577
00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:35.599
who was shot in the face added she saw a

578
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:39.840
muzzle flash before feeling pain in her face. I was

579
00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:42.159
certain I was going to be dead at the moment,

580
00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:45.159
because I didn't think a human could lose so much

581
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:48.400
blood and still be alive, Griffin said on the video,

582
00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:51.360
I just knew my life was not going to be

583
00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:55.079
the same Comb's was frequenting the Manhattan club with then

584
00:38:55.239 --> 00:38:58.840
girlfriend Jennifer Lopez when he and his body card Anthony

585
00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:03.679
Wolf Jones allegedly got into dispute with Barrow. The resulting

586
00:39:03.719 --> 00:39:08.679
gunfire left three people injured, including Griffin and Combe's Lopez

587
00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:13.239
and Jones and Barrow were all arrested. The ensuing trial, however,

588
00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:17.880
found only Barrow, which shines, serving prison time nine years

589
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:21.800
for charges and including criminal possession of a weapon. Griffin

590
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:25.639
also recalled the harassment and alleged threat she experienced for

591
00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:28.480
speaking out on the shooting, adding she was forced to

592
00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:32.440
move homes after noticing blacked out SUVs parked at a

593
00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:35.320
resident I was a child of hip hop, Griffin said,

594
00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:38.519
I didn't deserve this. I was a victim. I wanted

595
00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:43.800
justice and a Danity Kane alum named de Woods said

596
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:49.280
that Diddy was verbally abusive on that documentary. Actress and

597
00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:51.800
singer d Woods, who was a member of the Combes

598
00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:56.320
Girl group Danny Kaine, spoke out against Combe's legal troubles

599
00:39:56.360 --> 00:39:58.679
in an interview. You know, he is looked up to

600
00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:02.440
as a hero of our community, and myself included. I

601
00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:05.440
looked up to him, Woods said, I would say that

602
00:40:05.559 --> 00:40:08.719
this moment now is a time where I feel like

603
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:14.280
my experience, my truth will really be heard, considered and believed. Woods,

604
00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:18.760
whose professional relationship with Combs was documented on MTVS Making

605
00:40:18.800 --> 00:40:21.920
the Band three, said the music mogul created a verbally

606
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:25.239
abusive work environment. He did it in different ways with

607
00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:28.360
all of us, you know, picking and prodding and just

608
00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:31.440
a way to chip and knock away, but then praise you.

609
00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:34.639
Woods account of working with Cones will be featured in

610
00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:38.639
subsequent episodes of the Fall of Ditty. Woods isn't the

611
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:42.480
only member of DANDIY Kane speaking out against Combs. In September,

612
00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:46.760
Wood's former bandmate Dawn Richard sued Combs on twenty one

613
00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:50.199
counts of sexual assault and I brought y'all that lawsuit

614
00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:54.039
way back then. Former Ditty assistant Phil Pines spoke out.

615
00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:58.159
In the interview. Pines told journalist mar Campo he was

616
00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:01.639
someone that I look up up to. Pine's alleged his

617
00:41:01.800 --> 00:41:06.159
responsibilities quickly transformed from run of the mill assistant duties

618
00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:10.519
to something more sinister. In a December lawsuit, Pines said

619
00:41:10.599 --> 00:41:13.360
the now fifty five year old mogul treated him as

620
00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:17.159
a personal lackey during his employment from twenty nineteen to

621
00:41:17.199 --> 00:41:21.559
twenty twenty one. Part of Pine's alleged responsibilities included setting

622
00:41:21.639 --> 00:41:24.719
up rooms for sex parties that Comes referred to as

623
00:41:24.840 --> 00:41:28.840
wild King Knights, and I brought y'all that lawsuit, so

624
00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:34.920
he also had a lot to say during that particular series,

625
00:41:35.039 --> 00:41:38.960
and even Ditty's former girlfriend alleged he threatened to deport.

626
00:41:39.719 --> 00:41:44.199
A former romantic partner of Comes alleged he threatened her

627
00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:49.679
residency status following their breakup. Actress Kat Payson, who dated

628
00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:52.719
Comes on and off in the late twenty tens, were

629
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:56.400
called their relationship took a dark turn in twenty twenty one,

630
00:41:56.840 --> 00:42:00.360
while Comes was making the love album One Night, Hayston

631
00:42:00.400 --> 00:42:04.679
said Combs after having taken the drug Tussy and subjected

632
00:42:04.719 --> 00:42:08.039
her to non consensual sex. The person who came out

633
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:11.199
of the bathroom and woke me up with someone that

634
00:42:11.239 --> 00:42:14.639
I didn't even recognize, she said. A Few weeks after

635
00:42:14.679 --> 00:42:18.000
the incident, Payson said she received an angry phone call

636
00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:21.000
from Combs, during which he threatened to have the Canadian

637
00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:25.840
native deported. In response, Payson told Combs that he was

638
00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:30.280
a demon. This man is sick. He uses his resources

639
00:42:30.320 --> 00:42:32.800
and uses what he can do for you and thinks

640
00:42:33.079 --> 00:42:36.599
that can band aid and solve horrible things that he

641
00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:40.119
does to people. So that was her thoughts, and I

642
00:42:40.159 --> 00:42:42.840
would recommend you check out The Fall of Ditty if

643
00:42:42.840 --> 00:42:47.559
you've not done. So pretty well done documentary now and

644
00:42:47.599 --> 00:42:51.119
the last thing I'm going to cover today is in

645
00:42:51.159 --> 00:42:54.320
regards to jay Z. And of course I've covered in

646
00:42:54.440 --> 00:42:57.960
detail the lawsuit that was amended with Ditty to include

647
00:42:58.039 --> 00:43:01.440
jay Z in one instance of rape, and jay Z

648
00:43:01.599 --> 00:43:04.599
is still fighting this thing and he's fighting it hard.

649
00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:08.679
I went on record saying there was some discrepancies when

650
00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:12.519
this accuser conducted an interview versus what she said in

651
00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:17.079
her lawsuit, and that to me, automatically made her not credible.

652
00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:22.199
The truth never changes, this is just fact. I'm going

653
00:43:22.280 --> 00:43:25.239
to reference an article here by The Daily Mail that

654
00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:28.719
covers the current news on jay Z and the fact

655
00:43:28.719 --> 00:43:34.119
that he is all fucking over Tony Busby right now,

656
00:43:34.559 --> 00:43:38.159
and it reads like this. The headline says, jay Z

657
00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:42.440
is not done coming for lawyer Tony Busby's neck with

658
00:43:42.599 --> 00:43:47.320
this latest legal move. Sean jay Z Carter is not

659
00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:51.719
letting up on Texas lawyer Tony Busby after filing a

660
00:43:51.840 --> 00:43:55.400
motion to dismiss the sex assault case against him earlier

661
00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:59.480
this month, he is back with an additional memo claiming

662
00:43:59.559 --> 00:44:03.400
Busby he got basic facts wrong in the case. Last year,

663
00:44:03.480 --> 00:44:07.679
Carter was named alongside disgraced hip hop mogul Sean Diddy

664
00:44:07.719 --> 00:44:11.320
Combs after an anonymous woman claimed both rappers raped her

665
00:44:11.400 --> 00:44:15.000
when she was thirteen. Jay Z has since denied the

666
00:44:15.039 --> 00:44:18.360
allegations against him repeatedly, and he has vowed to do

667
00:44:18.440 --> 00:44:21.559
any and everything to get the case quashed and make

668
00:44:21.760 --> 00:44:25.920
Busby pay. So now the rapper, through his longtime lawyer

669
00:44:26.039 --> 00:44:30.679
Alex Spiro, is coming for Busby big time. The original

670
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:34.880
motion to dismiss was reportedly filed on January eighth, but

671
00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:39.199
this additional memo was sent on January twenty ninth. Spira

672
00:44:39.400 --> 00:44:43.960
notated several inaccuracies with the accuser's story, including how Dae's

673
00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:47.480
own father can't recall picking her up after the alleged

674
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:52.760
two thousand rape, which directly contradicts the accuser's story. In

675
00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:55.880
the memo, Spira wrote, mister Carter seeks only to hold

676
00:44:55.920 --> 00:44:59.960
mister Busby to the ethical standards that constrain any respet

677
00:45:00.079 --> 00:45:04.920
bondsible attorney who would solemnly sign his name to allegations

678
00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:08.360
in court. He and jay are now saying that Busby

679
00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:12.719
should be sanctioned for not properly vetting Jane Doe's story,

680
00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:16.440
and if that wasn't enough, jay Z's team even pointed

681
00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:20.000
out that Tony even admitted he never personally met with

682
00:45:20.159 --> 00:45:23.440
the Jane Doe before taking on the case. Busby, on

683
00:45:23.480 --> 00:45:27.119
the other hand, insists Dave was properly vetted, but jay

684
00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:31.599
Z claims this is a contradiction to the lawyer's ethical responsibility.

685
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:36.320
In response to the memo, Busby said, what Spiro has filed,

686
00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:39.559
like everything else he has filed thus far, is frivolous

687
00:45:39.679 --> 00:45:44.199
and meritless. Busby added, the rules apply equally to everyone,

688
00:45:44.320 --> 00:45:47.639
even those who wrongfully think they are above the law.

689
00:45:48.239 --> 00:45:52.159
No one is above the law. So I don't think

690
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:54.280
jay Z is going to give up, and I think

691
00:45:54.599 --> 00:45:56.719
he has a great So that's all I got for

692
00:45:56.760 --> 00:45:59.400

693
