The Diddy Trial: Kid Cudi Takes The Stand On Day 9 (5/23/25)

In mid-November 2024, Sean "Diddy" Combs' sons, Christian Combs and Quincy Brown, issued a cease-and-desist letter to Courtney Burgess regarding his book, "Kim Porter Tell It All," which he published under the pseudonym Jamal Millwood. The brothers asserted that, as the rightful heirs to their late mother Kim Porter's intellectual property, any purported diary entries or personal writings belong to them. They demanded that Burgess cease the book's sale, halt interviews promoting it, and surrender any of Porter's possessions he claimed to have.In response, Burgess dismissed the cease-and-desist letter as a "desperate ploy" orchestrated by Diddy, labeling it a "pathetic attempt" reflecting the family's dire financial situation. His attorney, Ariel Mitchell, maintained that Burgess obtained the manuscript through a mutual acquaintance and that Porter had promised to share her memoir with him during a phone call. This exchange has intensified the legal dispute over the rights to Porter's personal writings and the legitimacy of Burgess's claims.(commercial at 7:14)to contact me:[email protected]:Diddy witness Courtney Burgess fires back at his sons amid legal battle over rights to Kim Porter's alleged diary | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Sean "Diddy" Combs has filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against Courtney Burgess, his attorney Ariel Mitchell, and NewsNation's parent company, Nexstar Media Inc. The lawsuit, filed in a New York federal court, stems from allegations made by Burgess that he possessed incriminating videos of Combs involved in sexual assaults, including those of minors. Combs claims these accusations are baseless and have severely damaged his reputation and compromised his right to a fair trial. The suit accuses Burgess and Mitchell of leveraging these claims for personal gain and media attention, particularly after Combs faced federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.The lawsuit specifically targets NewsNation for broadcasting these unverified claims without proper fact-checking or reaching out to Combs' representatives for comment. Combs' attorney, Erica Wolff, stated that the rapper is taking a stand against what she describes as "malicious falsehoods" intended to profit at Combs' expense. The legal documents assert that no such videos exist, and the claims have led to Combs being publicly labeled as a "monster" and a pedophile on social media platforms, which have a vast reach. This defamation suit aims to hold the defendants accountable for what Combs alleges are intentional falsehoods that have significantly impacted his public perception and legal proceedings.to contact me:[email protected]:Sean 'Diddy' Combs sues grand jury witness for $50 million | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the memorandum supporting their consolidated motion to dismiss, the defendants in the case of Dawn Angelique Richard v. Sean Combs et al. argue that the plaintiff's claims are largely time-barred under New York's statutes of limitations. They contend that the state’s shorter limitation periods should apply, rendering many of the plaintiff's causes of action untimely. Specifically, they assert that claims related to assault, battery, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, trafficking, forced labor, and various employment-related allegations fall outside the permissible time frames. The defendants also challenge the applicability of revival statutes, arguing that the Gender-Motivated Violence Law (GMVL) revival provision conflicts with existing laws like the Child Victims Act (CVA) and Adult Survivors Act (ASA), and thus cannot retroactively apply to the defendants.Additionally, the defendants argue that the plaintiff's claims against various entities associated with Sean Combs, such as the "Bad Boy" and "Combs" entities, rely on improper group pleadings without specific allegations against each entity. They assert that the GMVL claim fails because the law did not apply to certain defendants at the relevant times and that the plaintiff does not sufficiently allege a gender-motivated crime of violence. Furthermore, the defendants contend that the plaintiff fails to state valid claims for forced labor, sex trafficking, discrimination under the New York State Human Rights Law, right of publicity, and unjust enrichment. They argue that these claims are either inadequately pled or legally baseless, and in some cases, barred by applicable statutes of limitations.to contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.nysd.628103.154.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In a sealed letter submitted to Judge Subramanian, legal counsel for Jane Doe—referred to as Victim-2 in the Sean Combs federal criminal case—opposed a media request filed on May 12, 2025, by attorneys Robert Balin and Alexandra Perloff-Giles. That request, made on behalf of several news organizations, sought courtroom access to view “sexually explicit and sensitive” audiovisual exhibits that are set to be shown to the jury but not played in open court. Jane Doe’s counsel argued against the release, emphasizing the highly personal and traumatic nature of the content and citing her court-granted right to proceed anonymously. The letter underscores the importance of safeguarding Jane Doe’s dignity and privacy during trial proceedings that already carry significant emotional weight for her.The opposition also stresses the unique harm that could arise from permitting the press to view such sensitive materials, especially given their graphic and intimate nature. Jane Doe’s legal team asserts that allowing the media to access these exhibits, even if only while they are played for the jury, would essentially nullify the court’s protective measures and could lead to secondary dissemination—further traumatizing the victim and potentially undermining the integrity of the trial. The letter frames the issue not as a matter of transparency, but one of protecting victims’ rights, ensuring due process, and upholding the court’s earlier rulings that prioritized the safety and anonymity of individuals involved in the case.to contact me:[email protected]:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.350.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Mylah Morales testified about a 2010 incident at the Beverly Hills Hotel during the Grammy Awards weekend. She recounted waking up to the sounds of a heated argument between Combs and Cassie Ventura. After Combs stormed out of the room, Morales found Ventura with visible injuries, including a swollen lip, a black eye, and knots on her head. Concerned for Ventura's safety, Morales took her to her own home and consulted a doctor friend, who advised that Ventura should visit the emergency room. However, Ventura declined to seek medical attention or involve the police. Morales expressed fear for her own safety, stating she was afraid of Combs and feared for her lifeFrederic Zemmour, manager at the L’Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills, also testified on Day 9.

On Day 9 of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, rapper Kid Cudi (Scott Mescudi) delivered a compelling testimony detailing a series of unsettling events he attributed to Combs' jealousy over Cudi's brief relationship with Casandra "Cassie" Ventura in 2011. Cudi recounted receiving a distressed call from Ventura, warning him that Combs had discovered their relationship and had obtained Cudi's home address. Subsequently, Cudi found his Los Angeles home broken into, with Christmas gifts unwrapped and his dog locked in a bathroom. He reported the incident to the police. Weeks later, in early 2012, Cudi's Porsche was destroyed by a Molotov cocktail in his driveway—a retaliatory act he suspected was orchestrated by Combs. Although Combs later denied involvement during a meeting at a Los Angeles hotel, Cudi testified that he believed the incidents were meant to intimidate him.Cudi's testimony aligns with previous allegations made by Ventura in her 2023 lawsuit, where she claimed Combs threatened violence against both her and Cudi upon learning of their relationship. During his testimony, Cudi described Combs' demeanor during their confrontation as reminiscent of a "Marvel supervillain," noting his calmness and the unsettling nature of the encounter. These accounts contribute to the prosecution's narrative of Combs' alleged pattern of coercive and violent behavior to maintain control over individuals in his personal and professional life. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, and faces the possibility of life imprisonment if convicted.to contact me:[email protected]:May 22, 2025 - Day 9 of testimony in the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial | CNNBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Kaplan recounted an incident aboard a private jet in 2015, where he witnessed Combs allegedly assaulting singer Cassie Ventura. According to Kaplan, he heard glass shattering and saw Combs standing over Ventura, who was on her back with her legs up, seemingly trying to create space. Ventura reportedly screamed, "Isn't anybody seeing this?" as the altercation unfolded. Kaplan also described another episode where he observed Ventura with bruises under her eye, after which Combs instructed him to purchase over-the-counter remedies to conceal the injuries .Beyond these incidents, Kaplan detailed his responsibilities, which extended beyond typical assistant duties. He testified about preparing hotel rooms for Combs' events, ensuring they were stocked with specific items and later cleaning them to protect Combs' public image. Kaplan also mentioned procuring drugs like MDMA for Combs and maintaining a "medicine bag" containing substances such as ketamine and Wellbutrin. Despite expressing admiration for Combs, Kaplan stated that he ultimately resigned in December 2015 due to discomfort with the physical behavior he witnessed .to contact me:[email protected]:(5) Live updates on the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial: Kid Cudi on the stand following Cassie Ventura’s testimony | CNNBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

During Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, the prosecution called former executive assistant George Kaplan to testify, aiming to provide an insider's perspective on Combs' alleged operations. Kaplan, who worked for Combs between 2013 and 2015, detailed his responsibilities, which included booking hotel rooms under aliases, procuring drugs like MDMA and ketamine, and preparing rooms with specific items such as candles and baby oil. He also recounted cleaning up after Combs' so-called "freak-off" parties to maintain the mogul's public image. Kaplan's testimony was intended to illustrate the structured and deliberate nature of Combs' alleged activities, supporting the prosecution's claim of a coordinated criminal enterprise.Furthermore, Kaplan described a work environment characterized by intimidation and control, noting that Combs frequently threatened his employment over minor infractions. He also testified about witnessing physical abuse, including an incident where Combs assaulted his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, leading Kaplan to resign. By presenting Kaplan's firsthand accounts, the prosecution aimed to demonstrate a pattern of coercion and abuse, reinforcing their argument that Combs' actions extended beyond personal misconduct to constitute criminal behavior under federal statutes.to contact me:[email protected]:Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ex-employee details setting up hotels for rapper's 'Freak-Offs'Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Sean "Diddy" Combs has filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against NBCUniversal, Peacock, and production company Ample Entertainment, alleging that their documentary, "Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy," contains false and defamatory statements. The lawsuit claims that the documentary portrays Combs as a "monster" and the "embodiment of Lucifer," falsely accusing him of heinous crimes such as serial murder, rape of minors, and sex trafficking. Specific allegations include insinuations of Combs' involvement in the deaths of his ex-partner Kim Porter and rapper The Notorious B.I.G., as well as unfounded claims of sexual misconduct with minors. Combs' legal team argues that these baseless assertions have caused severe reputational and economic harm, and that the defendants prioritized sensationalism over journalistic integrity.The lawsuit emphasizes that the documentary advances unfounded conspiracy theories, relying on speculative interviews and discredited sources. Combs' attorneys assert that the defendants were aware of the falsehoods yet proceeded with broadcasting the documentary, thereby exploiting public interest for profit. They contend that this reckless dissemination of unverified information not only damages Combs' reputation but also jeopardizes his right to a fair trial, as he is currently awaiting trial on unrelated federal charges. Through this legal action, Combs seeks to hold the defendants accountable for the substantial harm caused by their actions.to contact me:[email protected]:sean-combs-nbcu-complaint.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

It also provides more specific details regarding her claims of sexual misconduct and abuse, including additional dates, locations, and alleged witnesses. Richard further alleges that Combs engaged in intimidation tactics, using threats and coercion to silence her.In response, Combs' legal team denied all allegations, calling them baseless and an attempt to damage his reputation.
