Diddy Accuser Crystal Mckinney Hits Harvey Weinstein With A Lawsuit (6/2/25)

On the morning of June 4, 2025, the federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs resumed with testimony from forensic video expert Frank Piazza. Piazza presented a 12-minute compilation of surveillance footage from the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, depicting a 2016 incident where Combs allegedly assaulted his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. The footage, assembled from multiple camera angles, showed Combs kicking and dragging Ventura in a hotel hallway. Piazza testified that, despite some pixelation and time jumps, the video had "no anomalies" and was authentic. The defense attempted to challenge the video's credibility, suggesting potential alterations, but Piazza maintained its integrity. The jury was required to watch the disturbing footage multiple times during this session.Following Piazza's testimony, Bryana "Bana" Bongolan, a close friend of Cassie Ventura, took the stand. Bongolan recounted a harrowing 2016 incident where Combs allegedly held her over a 17-story balcony and later threw her onto patio furniture, resulting in bruises and ongoing psychological trauma, including night terrors. She also testified about witnessing violent altercations between Combs and Ventura, including an episode where Combs threw a knife at Ventura, who then threw it back. Additionally, Bongolan described instances of Combs' controlling behavior, such as knowing her and Ventura's whereabouts without being informed, and threatening her by saying, "I am the devil and I could kill you." Her testimony aimed to corroborate Ventura's earlier accounts of abuse and control.to contact me:[email protected]:(5) Live updates: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial; Bryana Bongolan and forensic video expert Frank Piazza to testify | CNNBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial against Sean "Diddy" Combs, prosecutors have strategically utilized testimonies from his former assistants and employees to substantiate their case. These individuals have provided detailed accounts of alleged abuse, coercion, and forced labor, painting a picture of a workplace environment that prosecutors argue was integral to Combs' purported criminal enterprise. For instance, a former assistant, testifying under the pseudonym "Mia," described enduring years of sexual assault and psychological manipulation, asserting that she was "brainwashed" during her tenure with Combs. Another former employee, Capricorn Clark, recounted being kidnapped and coerced into participating in violent acts at Combs' behest. These testimonies aim to demonstrate a pattern of behavior consistent with the charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.The prosecution contends that these accounts reveal a systematic effort by Combs to exploit his employees and associates, using intimidation and abuse to maintain control and further his alleged criminal activities. By presenting these narratives, prosecutors seek to establish that Combs' actions were not isolated incidents but part of a broader scheme to manipulate and dominate those within his sphere of influence. This strategy is designed to reinforce the RICO charges by illustrating how Combs allegedly operated his business ventures as fronts for illicit conduct, thereby fulfilling the criteria for a racketeering enterprise under federal law.to contact me:[email protected]:Diddy Inc.: Sean Combs’ aides unravel his jet set empire in courtBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The government believes that Eddy Garcia's testimony is pivotal in strengthening their RICO case against Sean "Diddy" Combs. Garcia, a former security supervisor at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, testified that in 2016, Combs paid him $100,000 in cash to obtain and suppress surveillance footage showing Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Garcia detailed how Combs, appearing nervous, personally negotiated the payment, provided a nondisclosure agreement with a $1 million breach penalty, and emphasized the need for discretion. This alleged attempt to conceal evidence is presented by prosecutors as an act of obstruction of justice and bribery, which are predicate offenses under the RICO statute. By demonstrating that Combs engaged in such activities to protect his reputation and conceal alleged criminal conduct, the prosecution aims to establish a pattern of behavior consistent with operating a criminal enterprise.Furthermore, the suppressed video is central to the prosecution's argument that Combs used violence and coercion to control and exploit women, supporting the sex trafficking charges. Cassie Ventura testified that the assault occurred after she attempted to leave a "freak off," a term used to describe orchestrated sexual encounters involving third parties. The video allegedly shows Combs, wearing only a towel, attacking Ventura in the hotel hallway. Prosecutors argue that this incident exemplifies the use of force to maintain control over victims, a key element in proving sex trafficking under federal law. By linking the assault and subsequent cover-up to a broader pattern of coercion and abuse, the government seeks to demonstrate that Combs' actions were part of an ongoing criminal enterprise, thereby satisfying the requirements for a RICO conviction.to contact me:[email protected]:Diddy hotel video: Guard was paid $100K for Cassie assault tapeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

On the afternoon of June 3, 2025, during Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, former Bad Boy Entertainment CFO Derek Ferguson took the stand. Ferguson, who worked closely with Combs for nearly two decades, provided insights into the financial operations of Combs' enterprises. He detailed how company funds were managed, including the use of corporate cards for expenses. Under cross-examination, Ferguson testified that he never witnessed Combs or his associates engaging in criminal activities or using threats to enhance the company's reputation. He emphasized his commitment to preventing financial impropriety during his tenureAdditionally, prosecutors presented bank statements to corroborate earlier testimony from Cassie Ventura's mother, Regina Ventura. The documents showed a series of transactions in December 2011, where $20,000 was transferred from Combs to Cassie Ventura, followed by a repayment from Cassie's father, and then a return of funds to him. Regina Ventura had previously testified that Combs demanded the payment after discovering Cassie's relationship with rapper Kid Cudi, threatening to release explicit videos if the money wasn't paid . The afternoon session concluded with these revelations, and the court adjourned for the day.to contact me:[email protected]:June 3, 2025 - Day 15 of testimony in the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial | CNNBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the case of Parham v. Combs (Case No. 3:24-cv-07191-RFL), the plaintiffs—Ashley Parham, Jane Doe, and John Doe—filed an opposition to Defendant Drew Desbordes' motion for sanctions under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11. The plaintiffs argue that their claims are grounded in factual evidence and legal precedent, asserting that Desbordes' motion is an attempt to intimidate and silence them rather than a legitimate challenge to the lawsuit's validity. They maintain that their allegations are made in good faith and are supported by substantial evidence, thereby rendering the motion for sanctions unwarranted.Furthermore, the plaintiffs contend that Desbordes' motion misrepresents the nature of their claims and overlooks the seriousness of the alleged misconduct. They emphasize that the motion lacks merit and should be denied to uphold the integrity of the judicial process and protect the rights of individuals seeking redress for alleged wrongdoings.to contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.cand.437874.41.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this filing, the government submits its proposed jury instructions, also known as “requests to charge,” ahead of Sean Combs’ upcoming trial. These instructions lay out how the jury should interpret the law as it applies to the charges in the Third Superseding Indictment, including conspiracy, racketeering (RICO), drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and related offenses. The government requests standard instructions on presumption of innocence, burden of proof, credibility of witnesses (including cooperating witnesses and law enforcement), and the meaning of reasonable doubt. Critically, it also asks the court to include specific legal definitions tied to each alleged crime—for example, the elements of a RICO enterprise and the requirements for proving participation in a drug distribution conspiracy.Furthermore, the government includes instructions regarding the consideration of co-conspirator statements, evidence of prior bad acts, and accomplice testimony, reflecting the sensitive and complex nature of the allegations against Combs. The proposed charges emphasize that the jury must evaluate the case based solely on the evidence presented, without speculation or bias, and that guilt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. These instructions, if accepted by the judge, will guide the jury through the legal standards necessary to determine whether Combs is guilty on any or all of the multiple felony counts he faces. The submission underscores the government's intent to secure clear, legally sound guidance for the jury in what is expected to be a high-profile and multifaceted trial.to contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.275.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
