00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:16.480
Hey everyone, and welcome back to Exposed Scandalous Files of
2
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:20.120
the Elite. I am your host, Jim Chapman, and today
3
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:25.960
I am back with this eighteenth episode in the Sean
4
00:00:26.440 --> 00:00:31.120
diddycomb series. And since this is the first episode that
5
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:34.399
I have brought you since the holiday, I hope all
6
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:39.759
of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.
7
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:44.079
And it is onward to Christmas now, can you believe it?
8
00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:47.799
I don't know about y'all, but twenty twenty four flu
9
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.439
by for me, that's for sure. So I'm gonna jump
10
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:55.119
right into this one because I have a lot to
11
00:00:55.240 --> 00:01:00.960
cover today in this crazy saga with Diddy. Five new
12
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:05.040
lawsuits have been filed since the last filings that I
13
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.680
covered in regard to the Diddy case, of course, filed
14
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:13.760
by Dinny's favorite attorney, Tony Busby and the Tony Busby
15
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:16.480
Law Firm. So I'm going to cover all of that.
16
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.079
But before I get into all of those, I've got
17
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:22.439
some news to cover with you, and I'm going to
18
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.079
start with an article that came out on November twenty
19
00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:29.959
second regarding one of Ditty's former bodyguards, a guy who
20
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.959
went by the name of Uncle Ron. Now throughout this
21
00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.680
whole deal, I told you that one of the main concerns,
22
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:42.040
especially as it relates to Diddy staying in jail pending
23
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:45.799
his trial, was safety. Harder for Diddy to touch you
24
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:51.280
when he's behind bars. Right. Well, the bodyguard I just mentioned,
25
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:56.120
Uncle Ron. He was found dead back in September, and
26
00:01:56.280 --> 00:02:00.159
since then some rumors had been flying pretty much everywhere
27
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:05.000
regarding what happened. In this article really covered the latest
28
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:08.919
talk on this, and here it is. With music muggle
29
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:13.159
Shawn Ditty Combs in prison following his September arrest, rumors
30
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:16.960
are starting to spread concerning one of his bodyguards, Ron Smith,
31
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:21.360
also known as Uncle Ron. The bodyguard had passed away
32
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:25.240
back in September. Since then, some fans had been alleging
33
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:30.199
a conspiracy concerning his death. Uncle Ron released a video
34
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:34.800
concerning Biggie Small's and y'all. Biggie Smalls also known as
35
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.439
Biggie Big Rap Star, was killed shortly after Tupac's death.
36
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:42.319
Some people say Diddy had something to do with that,
37
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:45.159
but I continue on. In addition to his work as
38
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:50.120
a bodyguard, Uncle Ron served as something of a TikTok personality. Tragically,
39
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.280
Smith passed away this September, a video released on Smith's
40
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:57.680
TikTok channel announcing his passing was shared by his wife,
41
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:01.599
Evelyn it ran, I want to everyone on TikTok of
42
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.599
my husband's passing. Uncle Ron will always be remembered and loved.
43
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:10.120
The post, which was shared September thirteenth, continued, if you
44
00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.280
can help with donations towards his funeral, it would be
45
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.800
deeply appreciated, thanks his wife Evelyn. Now, at this time,
46
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.400
there is no evidence to suggest foul play concerning his death. However,
47
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:26.360
rumors had begun to circulate claiming that Smith died of pneumonia.
48
00:03:26.960 --> 00:03:30.800
These rumors continued to allege that other people in Ditty's
49
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.800
inner circle have died under similar circumstances. In a video
50
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.680
released prior to his death, Smith alleged that Ditty and
51
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.080
jay Z wanted to see the death of Biggie Smalls.
52
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:46.280
Jay Z and Ditty wanted Biggie kill. Bottom line, here's
53
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:50.039
a man Biggie that wanted to lead bad boy records.
54
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.000
He wanted to do his own thing. Uncle Ron was
55
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:57.360
quoted as saying, and he continued. He mentioned several times
56
00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.159
that he was tired of being used and abused, that
57
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:04.080
he was bigger than bad Boy himself. He also alleged
58
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.120
Jay Z wanted him out of the industry period. It's
59
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:12.000
all business folks now. At this time, it's unclear if
60
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.719
this came out of Smith having any insider information or
61
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:19.240
if he was just speculating. Ron Smith was not the
62
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.319
only former bodyguard to speak out against Ditty. Another member
63
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:27.720
of Ditty's security team, former bodyguard Gen Dial, also recently
64
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.120
made claims about the mogul. When I brought you some
65
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:36.360
of those interviews regarding Gen Dial, During one particular interview,
66
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:40.319
Dial also discussed online rumors of a plot to poison
67
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:44.920
Jamie Fox, concerning Ditty. Deal shared, I really want to
68
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.439
hear the full story netting it was trending on the internet. However,
69
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:50.959
he shared that I don't know how true it is,
70
00:04:51.360 --> 00:04:53.399
and I've had a lot of people ask me about
71
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.360
that as well. So the story, as I understand it was,
72
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:01.439
Jamie Fox made a reference to that in the midst
73
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:04.600
of a comedy act. He essentially made a joke out
74
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:07.240
of it. From what I understand, it wasn't to be
75
00:05:07.319 --> 00:05:10.480
taken literal, but a lot of people did and a
76
00:05:10.519 --> 00:05:12.439
lot of people ran with it. I'm not saying it
77
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.600
didn't happen. I'm just saying when he made that comment,
78
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.600
it was made in the midst of a comedy show,
79
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:23.360
So take with that what you want. So I also
80
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:27.480
told you in the last episode about Diddy requesting bail
81
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:31.360
yet again, and every time he goes up for a
82
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:35.879
bail hearing, and it's been several times now, he sweetens
83
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.519
the pot as it relates to what he will do
84
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.839
to get out of jail and what he can offer us.
85
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.920
Weekly did a pretty good job with this article, which
86
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:49.879
ran November twenty third, concerning his latest offer. The legal
87
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:54.040
team for Seawan Diddy Combs requested the disgraced music muggle
88
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.920
be allowed to be placed under house arrest in his
89
00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.959
Upper east Side apartment in New York City, a law
90
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.480
with a fifty million dollar bond. Did He's attorney suggested
91
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.959
that one security guard could be stationed downstairs at the
92
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:11.680
building where the apartment is located, along with two additional
93
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:16.680
security guards station inside the three bedroom abode itself. Did
94
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:20.240
He would not have access to the Internet or telephone,
95
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.120
and he would only be able to communicate with his counsel.
96
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:27.040
All calls would be arranged through the approved security team.
97
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:29.959
Did He's lawyers said they believed that allowing him to
98
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.439
be under house arrest in his apartment would be substantially
99
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:37.079
more restrictive than where he is currently housed at Brooklyn
100
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:41.600
Metro Detention Center. I doubt that, along with not having
101
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:44.199
access to the internet or phoned, did He would not
102
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:47.759
be allowed to have visitors unless they were his attorneys.
103
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:51.199
The lawyer suggested the visits with his family would be
104
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:54.759
permitted only if they were approved before the trial. Did
105
00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.079
He's legal team argue that the Grammy Award winner should
106
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.560
be able to prepare for his upcoming trial due to
107
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:04.480
new evidence and circumstances. A decision on whether did He
108
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:08.160
will be released is expected to come out next week.
109
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.600
Did He's counsel had first requested the Bad Boy Records
110
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.079
founder be allowed and pay attention to this, y'all open
111
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.360
up your ears, be allowed to be placed under house
112
00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:22.920
arrest at his home on a private island called Star
113
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:28.240
Island in Florida. Man, he is not doing himself any
114
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:32.680
favors if he's trying to avoid looking like Epstein. Right.
115
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:36.120
The home, which was one of Ditty's properties that were
116
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.480
rated by Homeland Security in March, only has one way
117
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:41.879
on and off the island. There is a dock, but
118
00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.879
the lawyer's clarified he would not have access to a
119
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:51.759
boat while there. Yeah. Right. The request was immediately shot
120
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:56.000
down by the judge, who said that is not going
121
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.279
to work. Denny's legal team has made a total of
122
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.000
four requests for bail since his arrest. He was hit
123
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.199
with a slew of charges and I've been through all
124
00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.759
that now, his attorney said, he is disappointed with the
125
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:14.920
decision to even pursue the prosecution of mister Combs. He's
126
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:19.240
a music icon, self made entrepreneur, loving family man, and
127
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:21.720
a giving man who has spent the last thirty years
128
00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:25.199
building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift
129
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:28.720
the black community. So there you have it. No private
130
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:32.159
island for Ditty. But as a move on today, a
131
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:35.120
little bit concerned about some things with regard to him
132
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.799
being able to bail out now. Also, in the last
133
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:42.600
episode I mentioned we would be in between episodes when
134
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:46.000
he had that bail hearing. He actually had that last Friday,
135
00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:51.000
and during that bail hearing, his defense team really pushed
136
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:54.759
the whole leaks issue in the fact that the court
137
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:59.519
did not want Ditty communicating on social media or allowing
138
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:03.960
others to communicate on his behalf on social media. His
139
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:09.600
team says, hey, that's necessary because did he wants to
140
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:14.600
prove his innocence essentially, But for the record, I'm more
141
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:17.720
than confident all didd He's trying to do here is
142
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:22.480
sway public opinion. That's it. But the judge heard the
143
00:09:22.600 --> 00:09:27.679
argument out and he requested more information before making a
144
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:31.799
ruling on whether he will grant Diddy Bell. So his
145
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:35.559
defense team they provided a legal brief to the court
146
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:38.960
the very next court day, which was on a Monday,
147
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:43.799
and they cited a Trump case of all things as
148
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:48.000
precedent in the matter. I had that actual document that
149
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:51.080
was filed with the court, and here's how that read.
150
00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:56.399
Defendant Sean Diddy comes respectfully submits this letter in response
151
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.159
to the Court's request at the November twenty twenty for
152
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:04.159
hearing for further briefing on the contours of the types
153
00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:07.440
of communications that mister Combs is able to engage in
154
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:12.759
consistent with this Court's order. For months and months, government agents, plaintiffs,
155
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:16.080
attorneys and others question motives that have been polluting the
156
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:20.679
airways with false and outrageous claims about mister Combs. This
157
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:25.639
non stop drumbeat of negativity has destroyed his reputation and
158
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.480
will make it virtually impossible for him to receive a
159
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:32.399
fair trial. Mister Combs is not required to sit idly
160
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:35.679
by and allow all of this. He has the right
161
00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:38.720
to affair trial and a constitutional right to speak out
162
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:42.399
on his own behalf. The government's arguments that asking his
163
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:46.159
children to post birthday wishes on Instagram and that he
164
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.240
is not entitled to publicly express his opinion that this
165
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:55.279
prosecution is racially motivated are quite simply unconstitutional. In an
166
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:58.960
effort to silence him, mister Combs sought only to stop
167
00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:03.919
a wave of play he perceived as prejudicing potential jurors
168
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:08.679
and injuring his reputation in the community. His communications directed
169
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.559
at the public or protected speech under the First Amendment,
170
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:15.879
and cannot justify denying bail or indeed preventing him from
171
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.480
engaging in protected public relations efforts, so long as they
172
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.080
complied with the carefully tailored legal limits imposed by the
173
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.240
controlling authorities as described below and in section one. And
174
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:32.080
this is where they referenced trump mister combs communications regarding
175
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:36.559
potential public statements and social media posts constitute speech protected
176
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:39.120
by the First Amendment, it says. In the United States
177
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:44.240
versus Trump, the DC Circuit assumed, without deciding, that the
178
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:48.720
most demanding scrutiny applies to pre trial speech restrictions on
179
00:11:48.759 --> 00:11:52.799
criminal defendants, and that only a significant and imminent threat
180
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:57.720
to the administration of criminal justice will support restricting speech.
181
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.799
The court considered, but reject did application of the less
182
00:12:01.879 --> 00:12:06.720
exacting substantial likelihood of material prejudice standard. And then it's
183
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.559
a bunch of legal ease that I'm not going to
184
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:15.200
get into. But I found it interesting that they cited
185
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:18.360
as Trump case as basically saying, well, Trump was allowed
186
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.720
to do this, why did he? And it just went
187
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:24.399
on and on with that. Look, they're fighting their ass off.
188
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.639
I give them that to get bail for Diddy. He's
189
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:30.720
probably in there, y'all, and he is just freaking the
190
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:32.919
hell out. I gotta get out of here. I gotta
191
00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:34.759
get out of here, Get me out of here. I mean,
192
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:39.080
he's pressuring these dudes. They are not giving up. So
193
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.799
the government they respond when this is filed, and they
194
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.039
actually responded the same day, and in that response they
195
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:53.600
list some examples as to why they don't want Diddy
196
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:55.960
getting bail on This is kind of interesting and one
197
00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.320
of the things they know is in twenty sixteen, the
198
00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:02.080
defendant bribed secure officers with one hundred thousand dollars in
199
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:05.519
cash to destroy evidence of a brutal assault on a
200
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:09.279
female victim while they were in an LA hotel for
201
00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:13.960
a freak off. He's talking about Cassie y'all. In doing so,
202
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:18.039
the defendant relied on intermediaries to reach out to security
203
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:20.799
staff and help carry out the cover up. This act
204
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:25.000
is alleged as part of the bribery racketeering conspiracy predicate.
205
00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:28.360
They're trying to prove there that if he gets out
206
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:30.720
on bail, he's going to start trying to bribe a
207
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.679
bunch of people. Then they listen to another example, as
208
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:37.799
a victim filed a civil lawsuit in twenty twenty three alleging,
209
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.440
among other things, the victim's participation in freak offs was
210
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.360
not consensual. The defendant made multiple efforts to interfere with
211
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:50.159
victims and witnesses by feeding those individuals false narratives regarding
212
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:54.840
the defendant's criminal conduct. For instance, the defendant cost intermediaries,
213
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.879
former and current security staff to repeatedly call a former
214
00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.639
employee who had witness in his first hand the defendant's
215
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.600
abuse of a victim. The intermediary told the employee in
216
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:10.600
summon substance that what she had observed was normal. Around
217
00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:13.799
that same time, as highlighted at a prior hearing, the
218
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:17.639
defendant recorded two phone calls with a different victim in
219
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:21.320
which the defendant attempt to defeed victim TiO a false
220
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:25.879
narrative regarding Victim two's involvement in a freak off, namely
221
00:14:26.039 --> 00:14:29.320
that they were consensual, and another example of them saying
222
00:14:29.360 --> 00:14:32.240
he needs to stay in jail. The defendant has evidently
223
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:36.360
deleted text messages between himself and key witnesses, including a
224
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:40.080
grand jury witness and a victim in this criminal case.
225
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:43.360
One of these witnesses is a male commercial sex worker
226
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:47.039
who participated in freakoffs and received a grand jury subpoena
227
00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:52.000
during the investigation. After defense counsel represented unequivocally at the
228
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:55.440
prior bail hearing before Judge Carter that the defendant would
229
00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:58.519
not reach out to grand jury witnesses, it became clear
230
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:02.720
the defendant had done just that. Phone calls and electronic
231
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:07.080
evidence shows the defendant contact of witness one repeatedly leading
232
00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:10.000
up to and after his appearance in the grand jury,
233
00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:14.559
and that the defendant apparently deleted the messages from his phone.
234
00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:17.919
After that, there were further communications, and there were text
235
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.080
messages throughout the entire period, including to state that the
236
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.919
weapon used in this incident was his and did not
237
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:29.120
belong to the defendant. On November eighteenth, twenty twenty four,
238
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:33.519
Jamal Barrow, the defendant's former bad boy records protege and
239
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.759
is co defended in that case, and they're talking about Shine.
240
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:40.840
He made public statements about taking the fall for the
241
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:45.399
defendant in the incident. Bear further stated publicly that following
242
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:49.320
the public allegations against the defendant, the defendant contacted him
243
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:52.639
to make sure that in summon substance, they were still
