shocking twists that could change the course of Diddy's legacy forever.

11
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.519

12
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:15.879
much more sinister? With each episode, I will bring you

13
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:21.359

Leave you on the edge of your seat.

15
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:27.200
So buckle up as we embark on this thrilling ride

16
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:31.319
through the trial of the century, where the stakes are high,

17
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:36.200
the drama is real, and the truth is anything but certain.

18
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:41.840
This is the Trial of Sean Combs. Let's get started,

19
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:58.439
and we're in the fourth day of testimony with Cassie

20
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:03.640
Ventura the sixteenth of May that I'm recording this and

21
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.079
the defense is going to wrap up their cross today

22
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:11.280
and just a quick update on what took place yesterday.

23
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:16.120
Anna Estavo, one of Ditty's lawyers, set out to portray

24
00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:20.479
Ventura as a willing participant in Ditty's freak offs. She

25
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:25.280
attempted to challenge the singer's insistence that she was coerced

26
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:31.520
into these drug fueled, voyeuristic sexual encounters, and during that testimony,

27
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:35.520
Ventura acknowledged that her early years of her on again

28
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.960
off again relationship with Diddy, that they were loving, though

29
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:43.520
sometimes there was some jealousy involved. She remembered him as

30
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:47.120
charismatic and larger than light. I also told you about

31
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:52.680
Esteveo showing jurors text messages the defense teams believes rebute

32
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:56.719
Ventura's claims. She said things like I'm always ready to

33
00:02:56.759 --> 00:02:58.599
freak off in two thousand and nine.

34
00:02:58.759 --> 00:02:59.599
I can't wait.

35
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:03.800
Vin Her testified yesterday that she never wanted to participate

36
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.039
in the marathon sex sessions, but felt she needed to

37
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.599
keep Diddy happy. It came up that Ditty in Ventura

38
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.560
argued about infidelity. She went on to say it was

39
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:18.400
a little bit scary when he would accuse her of cheating.

40
00:03:18.680 --> 00:03:22.680
Ventura said she had jealousy toward the late kim Porter

41
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.520
when kim Porter was brought up one of Ditty's ex

42
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.599
partners and the mother of three of his kids, and

43
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:33.400
that Ditty was irate about Cassie's brief relationship with rapper

44
00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:38.159
kid Cuddy. Esteveo also attempted yesterday to connect Ditty's drug

45
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:42.280
use to his alleged pattern of violent behavior. Cassie did

46
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.759
say that Shawn Combs was once addicted to opiates and

47
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.560
overdosed in twenty twelve, and that the painkillers were a

48
00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:51.280
part of his mood swing.

49
00:03:51.400 --> 00:03:53.520
She admitted that in open court she.

50
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:57.680
Testified he was dependent on the drugs during the relationship

51
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.000
and that she was too. So that was a little

52
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:04.000
update on what you heard yesterday. And we're gonna get

53
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.560
into today. And Cassie has just entered the courtroom. She's

54
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:12.639
wearing a wide shoulder striped suit jacket and an oversized

55
00:04:12.680 --> 00:04:16.639
button down shirt, very similar to the outfit she wore yesterday.

56
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:20.519
She takes a deep breath as she takes her seat

57
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:24.319
in the witness box, and she appears ready to get going.

58
00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:28.399
I can't say the same thing for the defense Anna Stavello.

59
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.519
If you'll remember from yesterday's episode and check that out,

60
00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.639
I pronounced her name right. I've been mispronouncing her name. Look,

61
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.279
it's not like it's Smith or Jones, but it is

62
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:45.319
pronounced Staveo. I told you yesterday about her and that

63
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:48.759
she was a white collar, absolutely amazing lawyer, but she

64
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.000
didn't have a whole lot of experience in cases like

65
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:57.920
criminal cases of this magnitude. Well, my thought process when

66
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:01.560
I saw that she was handling the cross of Cassie,

67
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:05.240
and it appears that it was pretty correct, was that

68
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:11.199
she may struggle with that. Yesterday, Staveyo appeared very dishoveled

69
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:11.959
during time.

70
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:13.160
She was almost frantic.

71
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.360
During her cross of Ventura. She appeared as though she

72
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.360
didn't know quite how to ask the next question. She

73
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:26.120
did what lawyers call over conferring with other members of

74
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.319
her team at the defense table. And you got to remember,

75
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:33.000
the jury's seeing all this, and when you confer at

76
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.439
almost every question with other members of your defense team,

77
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:40.120
it kind of seems like you're getting answers you don't expect,

78
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.079
And I would imagine that's something you don't want to

79
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.000
relate to the jury. You don't want them to think

80
00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:49.240
that the answers you're getting are not what you expected. Remember,

81
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:53.360
a good attorney always ask questions that they already know

82
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:54.040
the answer to.

83
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.120
So we'll see how she does today.

84
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.759
And in fact, she approaches that witness box and she

85
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.480
picks up where she left off on May fifteenth with Cassie,

86
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:11.000
and that is at that twenty sixteen Intercontinental Hotel incident. Now,

87
00:06:11.079 --> 00:06:16.720
during this round of questioning, Ventura agreed that Combes was intoxicated,

88
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:20.360
but the lawyer reminded her that she had said previously

89
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:25.199
that he blacked out, not just that he was intoxicated,

90
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:30.079
and Ventura responded, everybody's definition of blackout is different.

91
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:32.399
Esteveea then reads.

92
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:36.160
A text message Cassie sent to Combes after he attacked her,

93
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:38.920
and I'm going to quote it. When you get fucked

94
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.759
up the wrong way, you always want to show me

95
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.480
that you have the power and you knock me around.

96
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.519
I'm not a rag doll. I'm someone's child. Estevea then

97
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:52.480
reads a text shawan Combe sent Cassie Ventura saying, quote,

98
00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.800
I'm so horny for you, and she responds, you are,

99
00:06:56.240 --> 00:07:00.800
Why what made you feel that way, and he responded,

100
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.439
I felt that way from Friday, and he's referring to

101
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:07.639
their time at that hotel. And then he says, what

102
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.439
are you doing? And she says, not a good vibe.

103
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:14.279
We need a different vibe than Friday. Comes responds with

104
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:17.800
fuck Friday, laugh out loud. I don't even want to

105
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.959
do that again, and Cassie responds, lol.

106
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:21.720
True.

107
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:26.240
Now, on the stand, Ventura did agree with the defense

108
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.800
lawyer that that was a little strange considering what happened

109
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.519
at that hotel. The defense then brought up instances in

110
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:38.800
which Cassie testified that Diddy had taken her phone after

111
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:43.040
he suspected she was talking to other men. To get

112
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:47.680
more specific, Cassie said she was dating someone else. It

113
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:52.279
was apparently an unnamed football player, and she didn't know

114
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:56.800
exactly how Diddy had learned about this. Did he, however,

115
00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:59.720
brought it up? Then he grabbed her phone, and he

116
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:03.240
took off and left with her phone. Her mom actually

117
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:05.600
had to call the cops essentially to get.

118
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:06.240
Her phone back.

119
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:09.360
And did he spoke with someone on her phone while

120
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:11.879
he had taken the phone away from her and had it.

121
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:12.959
In his possession?

122
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.639
Stavello asked Cassie, how many times did he take your

123
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:19.879
phone away from you? And Cassie said, you know, he

124
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:23.600
did do this often. Ventur went on to say that

125
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:26.759
he would take things like her passport or her watch,

126
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:30.040
and this would occur many times over the men that

127
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:34.320
she dated at whatever particular timeframe it is. She said,

128
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:37.759
if I was with anyone else besides him, he would

129
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:41.039
take things from me. Stabo then said, so you were

130
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:43.360
cheating on him, and she said, I don't know if

131
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.200
I would call that cheating. When you're not with somebody,

132
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:49.519
it's not cheating. I feel like it's a technicality in

133
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:51.600
a boyfriend girlfriend relationship.

134
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:52.799
We weren't married.

135
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:56.960
Then Stabo asked Vinur if she remembered Comes taking her

136
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:01.519
phone after he suspected her of dancing with singer Chris Brown,

137
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:04.759
and Ventura said she didn't remember a whole lot about

138
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:09.000
that incident, besides the fact that she wasn't dancing with

139
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:14.240
Chris Brown, and then Estabo transitioned into talking about that

140
00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:18.000
incident I told you about that occurred in Atlantic City

141
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.360
in March of twenty fourteen, where she texted Ditty and said,

142
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:26.039
someone has a copy of one of our freak off videos.

143
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:29.799
Remember that incident I told you about yesterday. So Cassie

144
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:32.480
went and she met with this guy. And remember she

145
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:36.279
brought security with her to discuss this recording, and Diddy

146
00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:39.559
had said make sure you threaten him, et cetera. Well,

147
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.440
apparently this guy was recording that meeting, and in that

148
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.279
recording you can hear Cassie threatening the man multiple times.

149
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.840
She said things like I'm gonna kill you, and then

150
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:56.919
she said things like he's gonna kill you, obviously insinuating Diddy,

151
00:09:57.159 --> 00:09:59.759
I'll put you in a desert, i will cut you,

152
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.639
I'm going to kill you because you're fucking with my life.

153
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:05.240
And Cassie at one point in this audio clip she

154
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.000
did say she'll get someone else to actually do it,

155
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:12.759
that that shit is not cool. Now she's upset. This

156
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:16.399
guy's got a video of her having a freak off.

157
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.720
And how many times have you been upset and said

158
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:21.559
I'm going to kill you to somebody and you don't

159
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:25.480
really mean it in a literal way, but obviously the

160
00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:29.799
defense is trying to insinuate that her temper is so

161
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:34.200
bad she would kill someone over certain things. And then

162
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:38.879
they brought up something I find very interesting, and that

163
00:10:39.200 --> 00:10:44.879
is Jonathan ADDI and if you'll remember, back in my

164
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:49.919
exposed series The Diddy Saga, where there's like thirty episodes

165
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:52.480
up of that that you can go back and listen to,

166
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.120
I did an episode on Jonathan Oddie. But for those

167
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:59.080
who have not heard it yet, Jonathan Oddie is a

168
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:03.519
guy who claimed that he was one of the people

169
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:08.080
hired multiple times for freakoffs with Diddy. In Cassie Now,

170
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:12.279
he rose to infamy if you will, because he also

171
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:17.480
went to Trump's golf club in Florida and shot the

172
00:11:17.559 --> 00:11:20.519
place up and he is now in jail for the

173
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.000
rest of his life for doing that. And while they

174
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.679
were questioning him, he started bringing up all this shit

175
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.840
about Diddy and that he was involved in these freakoffs

176
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:33.600
and stuff. Well, apparently Jonathan Oddie is the one who

177
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:38.200
had possession of this secret video. Now according to Cassie,

178
00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:41.840
she said that Jonathan Oddie had taken a secret video

179
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.679
during a freakoff and did he tried to make this

180
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:48.799
video go away? That did he actually spent a significant

181
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.639
amount of money to make sure that video never got released. Now,

182
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:58.279
Cassie admitted they never used Audie again after this incident

183
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.720
went down. She said said she was pretty concerned about it,

184
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:06.480
concerned that he would obviously release the video. And this

185
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:09.399
shocked me because I thought Jonathan Onty was full of shit.

186
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:14.320
I mean, he's crazier than alone, and I put his

187
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:16.720
entire interrogation.

188
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:17.879
In one of the Diddy episodes.

189
00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:19.879
You'll just have to go back and look at the

190
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:24.120
Diddy saga. This dude is indeed crazier than a lame,

191
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:26.039
but he was apparently telling the truth on that.

192
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:27.639
That blew my mind.

193
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:32.159
The Cowboys for Angels was also mentioned again. Of course,

194
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:34.960
that is the escort service that they apparently went to

195
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.919
after this Auty incident, and the Cowboys for Angels had

196
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.559
a very popular showtime series back in the day. That

197
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:47.639
showtime series was actually called Jiglow's and I watched that

198
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:51.679
when it originally came out. It's a pretty crazy series.

199
00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:54.759
I mean, these guys seem like normal guys, but they're

200
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:57.320
male escorts. I don't know if you can still go

201
00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:01.279
back and watch that, but if you're interested, it's called Jigilows.

202
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.759
She did confirm that a lot of the guys on

203
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:09.480
the actual show, on the reality show, were some of

204
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.279
the escorts used in the free calls. Then the testimony

205
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.639
kind of went in another direction, and it went to

206
00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:22.279
when she was an impatient treatment in early twenty twenty

207
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:27.000
three four mental health problems, and Cassie testified that she

208
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:31.000
went to that treatment for forty five days, and she

209
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:34.080
said she began writing her book while she was there.

210
00:13:34.320 --> 00:13:38.240
Festiveo then said the treatment center called Willow House treats

211
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:43.279
patients for sexual compulsion and love addiction, and Ventura said, no,

212
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:47.519
she wasn't there being treated for those conditions. She said

213
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:51.440
she was there being treated for PTSD, and she confirmed

214
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:54.519
that she participated in a bunch of different kinds of

215
00:13:54.639 --> 00:14:00.919
therapy at the facility. She used examples such as eye movement, decisitization,

216
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.080
and reprocessing, which I had never heard of, but she

217
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:09.480
said it helps recount memories and then process them. Ventura

218
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:12.240
described some of the treatments saying, if there was a

219
00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:14.399
time when you were getting beat up in a room

220
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.600
and you couldn't walk out, you would reimagine it in

221
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:21.960
a way where you were actually able to leave that room.

222
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:25.799
She also brought up a treatment called neurow feedback treatment,

223
00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:29.720
which is another therapy. She testified that they quote hook

224
00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:33.000
your brain up to a machine and you watch something

225
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:36.279
and it's just kind of regulating your brain waves. She

226
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:40.120
added that she got the treatment about five or six times.

227
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.919
The defense here, I think.

228
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:45.000
And I'm just going to simplify this as they're trying

229
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:50.120
to insinuate that she's crazy, that all these drugs and

230
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.320
all this stuff that she's done has made her crazy.

231
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.600
And look, here's the proof. She was in treatment getting

232
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.480
a machine hooked up to her her to regulate her

233
00:15:01.480 --> 00:15:04.639
brainways because she's so crazy. But to me, that actually

234
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:07.919
speaks just opposite. It speaks to look what this guy

235
00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:10.240
did to her. She was so messed up that she

236
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:13.039
had to get to treatment for these things and do

237
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:16.679
all these different therapies. The jury was then shown a

238
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.799
message from Sean to Cassie in January of twenty sixteen

239
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:25.559
that was brought up previously under direct examination, which referenced

240
00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:28.799
having a freak off without taking ketamine. If you'll remember

241
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:32.279
I told you about that. Vin Tura previously testified that

242
00:15:32.519 --> 00:15:36.879
kay was their text word for ketamine. The message that

243
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.279
was shown was from Combs to Cassie. It said, quote,

244
00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:44.879
I hate kay, so let me know when. Please don't

245
00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:47.720
be mad and think that it's all I want to do.

246
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:51.080
Combs went on to saying that message a successful freak

247
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:54.360
off is when we remember and we don't be fiending

248
00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.600
to do it the right way. The jury also saw

249
00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:01.200
messages from over three days and a April of that year,

250
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:04.639
when they discussed their relationship. Combs at one point said

251
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:07.919
they needed to do some quote soul searching. This time,

252
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.919
in Ventura responded back that she felt she was not loved,

253
00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:15.759
and Comb's responded to that, saying, you don't know what

254
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.919
it is to take care of me. Then more messages

255
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:23.240
April nineteenth of twenty ten, Cassie said, quote, I want

256
00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:24.960
to talk to you about something tomorrow.

257
00:16:24.960 --> 00:16:26.720
Are going to sleep? Love you?

258
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.759
And Combs said is it going to stress me out?

259
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:33.759
What's it about? And Ventura replied back, freak off? It

260
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.279
can wait, it's not a big deal. Comb's responded, Now,

261
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:40.120
you don't want to do it anymore. Oh, I already

262
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:44.759
know you're predictable. Ventura responded back, really okay, since that's

263
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:47.720
definitely what it was, we'll leave it at that. Then,

264
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:53.279
since I'm so predictable, have a good night. Combs responds back, whatever, baby,

265
00:16:53.639 --> 00:16:55.639
I'm not going to play no games with you, and

266
00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:59.759
you ain't gonna keep shutting me down, and Ventura responds

267
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:02.879
by I'm not shutting you down. I never do. If anything,

268
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:05.680
it's always the other way around. I wasn't gonna say

269
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:06.599
I didn't want.

270
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:07.400
To do it anymore.

271
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:12.680
And obviously what's the defense doing there? They're basically trying

272
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:16.000
to show that she was willing to do the freak offs.

273
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:20.680
Estevea then asked Cassie Ventura if she hated Shawn Comb's now.

274
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:24.559
In Ventura said, I don't hate him, and Esteveo said

275
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:27.559
do you still have love for him? And Cassie said,

276
00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:30.279
I have love for the past and what it was.

277
00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:35.079
Estevea then moves into some text messages at Cassie and

278
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:40.599
Shawn Combe's exchanged in September of twenty eighteen about rumors

279
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.680
she had heard about him meaning Shawn Combs dating his

280
00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:49.119
yoga instructor. Ventura texted him, I hear you're dating. I

281
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:52.400
didn't know, and Combs denied it. He said I'm not

282
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:57.279
dating dating who I'm not dating. Inventur responded, maybe you've

283
00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:01.359
been going on dates all along. She later said quote,

284
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:05.839
I actually need to stop even caring, and Combs responded saying,

285
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:07.240
do you want to start dating?

286
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:09.519
If you do. Let's talk about it now.

287
00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:13.640
At that point in twenty eighteen, Ventur was already dating

288
00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:17.359
her now husband, and the defense asked her about that,

289
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:20.160
and of course she confirmed she had been dating her

290
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:24.720
now husband, Alex Fine. And then they broke for lunch

291
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:28.119
and I want to mention something about Alex Fine quickly.

292
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:30.039
He did have to step out of.

293
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:35.160
The courtroom during those moments because the defense claimed that

294
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:38.359
they might call him as an impeachment witness, and they

295
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:42.240
didn't want him in the courtroom when anything regarding twenty

296
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:46.039
eighteen came up, because he was dating her at that

297
00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:48.519
particular point in time, so he was not in the

298
00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:50.839
courtroom and I doubt he would have wanted to hear

299
00:18:50.920 --> 00:18:54.279
that anyway. So they get back from lunch, the jury

300
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:58.480
hears further messages. This was from September of twenty eighteen,

301
00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:01.519
in which Sean Combs to Cassie, I want you to

302
00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:04.680
love me. I need you to love me. She responds

303
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:07.279
back with I do love you. I would just prefer

304
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.240
not to be one of your girlfriends anymore. And in

305
00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:13.599
those messages, they both also said they can't wait to

306
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:17.799
see each other now. The next day, after those particular

307
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:21.359
texts were sent was when they saw each other and

308
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:25.640
had sex. Cassie's now husband had actually called her on FaceTime,

309
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:29.279
and she confirmed that that was while she was with

310
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:30.880
Sean Combs.

311
00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.880
Hey everyone, let me tell you about my good friend Kelly.

312
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:39.440
She's a proud Louisiana high school teacher from right here

313
00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:42.279
in the Bayou State, and in twenty twenty two, she

314
00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:46.920
launched Unspeakable, a true crime podcast by Kelly Jennings. Armed

315
00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:50.240
with a master's degree in criminal justice, her vast experience

316
00:19:50.279 --> 00:19:54.519
in law enforcement, and her sassy, fiery attitude, Unspeakable has

317
00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:58.640
risen to one of the top true crime podcasts globally,

318
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:00.720
and I am proud to say she is one of

319
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.400
my dear friends. Kelly, sum up your podcast for me.

320
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:06.200
On Unspeakable, I focus on the victims of the crimes

321
00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:09.599
and not the perpetrator. I want to be the victim's voice.

322
00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:12.440
That's why Victims First is not just a slogan for me.

323
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:15.000
It's much more than that, and it's why I launched

324
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.440
the podcast. In every case I cover centers around that

325
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.039
belief the victims matter. I draw from nearly two decades

326
00:20:22.039 --> 00:20:25.039
of experience in law enforcement to tell these stories. They

327
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.160
are real Crimes with the Real Victims.

328
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:31.400
Unspeakable, a true crime podcast by Kelly Jennings, can be

329
00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:35.599
found wherever you listen to podcasts or by visiting Unspeakable.

330
00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:41.400
The podcast dot com. Unspeakable is an Envision Podcast Studios production.

331
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:48.480
And it was at that point that Estaveo suggested that

332
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:52.640
she told her husband she had been raped because he

333
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:55.680
had called during that time and she kind of knew

334
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.759
she was busted and was saying I got raped so

335
00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:02.400
she wouldn't get in trouble to paraphrase it, and Cassie

336
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:05.920
shot back, that wasn't the evening when I was raped.

337
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:07.200
That was a different time.

338
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.240
Cassie then confirmed to the defense that she and her

339
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:13.319
husband and their kids moved into her parents' home in

340
00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:17.559
Connecticut in October of twenty twenty three, and Stevello asked

341
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:21.079
if they did that for financial reasons, but Ventura said

342
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:24.160
they just decided to move out of LA and they

343
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:25.200
were transitioning.

344
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:26.960
They wanted to live on the East coast.

345
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:29.920
She said at that time she was actually preparing for

346
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:35.000
her tour, and Stavello mentioned that civil law suit again

347
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:38.720
that she filed against Shawan Combes in twenty twenty three,

348
00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:41.480
and the settlement. She said, when you saw you were

349
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.519
going to get twenty million, you canceled that tour. However,

350
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:48.759
Cassie responded to that by saying that was not the

351
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:52.680
reason why she canceled the tour. She canceled the tour

352
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.799
because she had babies and she didn't want to leave them.

353
00:21:55.839 --> 00:21:58.440
And I'll go on to further say I believe her

354
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:02.079
with that. I thought that any mother doesn't want to

355
00:22:02.160 --> 00:22:05.279
leave their babies. And had she not had that twenty

356
00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:07.839
million dollars, yes, she probably would have went on the

357
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:10.880
tour because she would have had to to maintain her lifestyle.

358
00:22:11.000 --> 00:22:13.319
But when you get twenty million bucks, you don't have

359
00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:16.279
to do that. There's nothing necessarily wrong with that. But

360
00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:19.160
the defense was jumping on it, trying to make it

361
00:22:19.200 --> 00:22:21.960
look like she was just money hunger. And then the

362
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:27.640
defense ended the cross quite dramatically and short. It was

363
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:30.640
expected to be much longer, but the defense did end

364
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.680
that cross when shaw Combe's lawyer shows an exchange of

365
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:39.759
messages between Cassie and Shawn Combs. This was from twoenty twelve,

366
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:42.200
in which Shawn Combs asked her if she wanted to

367
00:22:42.200 --> 00:22:45.200
have a freak off for quote the last time and

368
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:49.480
Ventura responded, no, she wanted to have a freak off

369
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:54.599
for the first time quote for the rest of our lives.

370
00:22:55.839 --> 00:22:58.880
And they kind of might dropped it at that. I

371
00:22:58.920 --> 00:23:01.519
don't know what that meant. That was their kind of

372
00:23:01.599 --> 00:23:06.160
got you moment. In other words, they're saying, Sean was

373
00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:08.279
giving you an opportunity to get out of the freak

374
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:09.759
golfs or.

375
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:11.200
Do one more and that's it.

376
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:14.039
And your response to that was you don't want to stop, so,

377
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:17.000
Assistant US Attorney Emily Johnson.

378
00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:19.200
She then gets back.

379
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:23.279
Up and she does some redirect examination for the prosecution.

380
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.920
Now she shows some messages from early October of twenty

381
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.440
eighteen where Sean Combs tells Cassie he was going to

382
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:34.279
quote fall back and to call him when she needed him,

383
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.799
and Ventur responded with that she wasn't sure how to

384
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:42.359
handle things and set in part quote, I'm lost without you.

385
00:23:42.680 --> 00:23:45.799
The jury has then shown some messages between Shawn Comes

386
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:49.200
and Cassie from different points in twenty nineteen and twenty twenty,

387
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:52.759
and in messages from March in May of twenty nineteen,

388
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:56.960
Comes text Ventor in part quote sending you love. He

389
00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:01.759
also says congratulations cass I's truly happy for you. You're gonna

390
00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:05.400
make a beautiful mother. God bless and Ventura said that

391
00:24:05.559 --> 00:24:09.279
was in reference to her being pregnant for the first time,

392
00:24:09.559 --> 00:24:12.880
and she responded back to Combs and she said, thank you.

393
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:13.480
God bless.

394
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:16.880
In March of twenty twenty, Comes texted her in part

395
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:20.279
quote miss my best friend. Hope you're well, and Ventura

396
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:23.000
responded back that she hoped he was taking care of

397
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:27.000
himself and hoped his family was well. Comes then responds

398
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:30.279
with thank you so much for responding. It really means

399
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.200
a lot more than you know, sending you nothing but

400
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:36.240
love and light always. Please know him here for you

401
00:24:36.440 --> 00:24:39.799
if you need me, and in later messages, Comes told

402
00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:43.519
her that things had definitely been rough without your friendship,

403
00:24:43.680 --> 00:24:46.480
referring to Cassie, and that he had nothing.

404
00:24:46.119 --> 00:24:47.640
But love for her always.

405
00:24:48.200 --> 00:24:51.960
Ventura responded that she never hated him and that she

406
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:55.359
wouldn't be at this beautiful point in her life without him,

407
00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:59.559
and then Comes responds in another lengthy response, saying, in

408
00:24:59.640 --> 00:25:03.039
part tears of joy, I don't even know what to say.

409
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:06.880
I hope you can forgive me where honestly lucky to

410
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:12.319
be alive. God was watching over us. And we went hard. Now,

411
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:16.440
Come said he was happy Ventura found someone to love

412
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:20.079
and respect her the way she deserved. He asked to

413
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:23.079
set up time for them to meet, adding I send

414
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:27.200
this message with all the respect for your marriage. However,

415
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:31.480
the two never met after this conversation, and probably a

416
00:25:31.559 --> 00:25:35.000
good thing they didn't. At that point, the prosecution then

417
00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:38.839
underscored the events of March fifth, twenty sixteen, again when

418
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:43.240
Shawn Comes assaulted Cassie in that Los Angeles hotel, and

419
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:46.160
they pulled up that video and they played the part

420
00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:49.279
where he was dragging her back to a freak off

421
00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:53.079
hotel room. Remember he pulled her down and he was

422
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:55.200
just yanking her down that hallway.

423
00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:57.720
And they asked her what he was trying to do

424
00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:00.200
at that point, and she said, quote.

425
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:02.799
He followed me into the hallway, and then he tried

426
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:06.319
to bring me back to the room she's trying to leave.

427
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:09.680
He's trying to bring her back. The prosecution's point there,

428
00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:13.000
that's coercial forcing her to do something she did not

429
00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:17.559
want to do. Cassie Ventura testified she canceled a music

430
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:19.880
tour after she settled that lawsuit.

431
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:22.359
Remember, the defense.

432
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:27.079
Had just brought that up minutes prior, but she reaffirmed

433
00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:30.200
that it had nothing to do with that twenty million

434
00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:32.960
dollar settlement. She just wanted to see her kids and

435
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:35.799
didn't want to be away from them. And she also

436
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:38.799
confirmed on the witness stands she did make a legal

437
00:26:38.839 --> 00:26:42.920
demand to the owner of the Intercontinental Hotel where all

438
00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:46.640
that shit went down in twenty sixteen. She confirmed she

439
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:49.200
anticipated receiving a settlement.

440
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:50.160
She said it would be.

441
00:26:50.119 --> 00:26:53.799
Around ten million dollars and she said she reached the

442
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:58.119
settlement over the past month. Emily then asked her, do

443
00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:02.720
you have any financial stake in the outcome of this trial?

444
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:07.640
And Ventur responded absolutely not, And at that point her

445
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:12.160
testimony was over. The judge said, Cassie, have a great weekend.

446
00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:16.880
Ventura stood up and walked out of the witness box. Now,

447
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:20.319
the next witness that was called was a special agent

448
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:26.240
who handled logistics for Combs after his twenty twenty four arrest,

449
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:29.519
and the direct testimony for this witness would be handled

450
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:35.519
by Prosecutor Madison Smiser. His name is Yasin Benda. He

451
00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:39.920
is a Homeland Security Investigation special agent who works in

452
00:27:39.960 --> 00:27:44.960
the Human Trafficking division at that department, and Binda confirmed

453
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:49.559
that she handled the logistics for Sean Diddycombe's arrest on

454
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:52.880
September sixteenth of twenty twenty four, and she said she

455
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:58.119
searched the room at the Park Hyatt Hotel where Combs

456
00:27:58.720 --> 00:28:03.279
was staying. Now, I'm not gonna get into this testimony

457
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:07.000
with this episode drop. I'm gonna do that with the

458
00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:08.039
next episode.

459
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:08.440
Drop.

460
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:12.839
It is Friday, and y'all, my son is graduating college

461
00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:17.599
in the morning, so it's late Friday night. I gotta

462
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:20.319
get out of here, get out of the studio, and

463
00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:23.680
go spend some time with family. But I want to

464
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:26.960
thank all of you for listening on this Homeland Security

465
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:30.880
agent's testimony. Thank you so much for listening, and until

466
00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:36.720
next time for exposed scandalous files of the elite. I'm

467
00:28:36.759 --> 00:29:00.519
your host, Jim Chapman. Much love, S

468
00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:56.279
The S
