Crime Stories with Nancy Grace - DIDDY WAH-WAH: WHINES FEDS LEAK DAMNING INFO, DEMANDS SEX VICTIMS OUTED

Starting point is 00:00:00 This is an iHeart Podcast. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Sean Combs is actually whining that the feds are leaking damning information. This as he is the one demanding that the names of the alleged sex victims be outed. I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. Thank you for being with us. Combs allegedly planned.k.a. Diddy, a.k.a. P. Diddy. I'll see you in court. In court, Mark Agnefillo accuses the prosecution of leaking evidence from grand jury proceedings. Agnefillo claims the feds alerted the media to

Starting point is 00:01:03 the raids on Combs, Miami and L.A. homes and grossly overused force to paint Combs as dangerous. Agnafillo also accuses prosecutors of leaking the video of Combs' hotel attack on Cassie Ventura on a slow news day to stain his reputation. Agnafillo wants the video barred from evidence and for the judge to impose a gag order. Subramaniam agrees to the gag order, asking Agnephilo to draft the document. Okay, let me understand this. Okay, so we've got Diddy, Sean Puffycombs, whining. The feds are leaking damning information. I think they're talking about the Cassie Ventura beating video of him running down.

Starting point is 00:01:43 He's not worried somebody's going to see his towel fall off. Running down a hotel hallway. Beating Cassie Ventura when she tries to leave his room. What do we? Oh, here she goes. Hold on. Let's just drink this in for a moment. We got this from our friends at CNN.

Starting point is 00:02:00 I guess he's accusing CNN of a big conspiracy against him. There he goes. Okay. He's managing to hold on to that towel conspiracy against him. There he goes. Okay. He's managing to hold onto that towel. Okay. Get ready. Ow. Okay.

Starting point is 00:02:09 It's not over. Ah. Ooh. Not over yet. Not over yet. He's grabbing her stuff. Yeah. One more kick.

Starting point is 00:02:17 There you go. And dragging her, literally dragging her back to the room, but it's not over. Not over yet. She's sitting up holding her head and there it picks up on another hallway still dragging her hold on sit down sit down oh i looked up his towel oh bam he had to throw the vase probably really expensive against the wall but he didn't care so that's what i think he's referring to. And I just can't do this enough. He's whining. The feds are leaking information. That's not what happened.

Starting point is 00:02:57 Who is responsible for that video? Sean Combs is responsible for that video because he's the one parading up and down a hotel hotel hallway and nothing but a towel. Of course, the feds called the claim absurd straight out to Eric Faddis. Eric Faddis is a veteran trial lawyer, TV legal analyst, founding partner, Varner Faddis Elite, former felony prosecutor, Eric. So he's the one running down the hall, making me look up his towel, but yet he's blaming the feds. Remember when he, oh, I've got to see the video where he apologizes for being such a monster and how much he regrets it. Can we get that queued up, please? But forget about all the apologies. And I'm sorry.

Starting point is 00:03:48 And I'm a changed man. It's the Fed's fault. And it's CNN's fault. And it's our fault. It's not our fault, Faddis. And it's not the Fed's fault. It's his fault. It's probably the fault of the hotel employee that he tried to bribe, allegedly not to let that out.

Starting point is 00:04:09 So why is he blaming the feds for leaking? I hear you, Nancy. Some alarming conduct in the video, surely. I think what his counsel is arguing is that the grand jury proceedings are supposed to be secret. They're supposed to not disclose any such information to the public that could be overly prejudicial. In addition, you know, he's sort of mounting this campaign that there was this military raid on his properties that was heavy handed. And so I think it's just part of this attempt to control that narrative and push it back onto the government because he has received so much flack, understandably so. You know what? This is what I had to say about the feds as a former fed for three years.

Starting point is 00:04:48 When you taunt and antagonize the feds, you got a tiger by the tail. You can't hold on and you can't let go. He is claiming that federal agents leaked that tape. What about the hotel employees? What about Cassie Ventura? And if she did leak it, why not leak it? It happened. Unless you're trying to tell me it's AI created artificial intelligence. It didn't really happen. So if it didn't really happen, then why did he allegedly bribe, pay off hotel employees to bury the tape if it didn't exist. So claiming federal agents are leaking information, that's a bad idea to taunt the feds at this juncture. Remember,

Starting point is 00:05:37 a prosecution for the murder of Tupac Shakur is hanging in the balance. Do I have to say Biggie? Notorious B-I-G, Biggie Smalls? He's dead too. And remember, another thing, which I'll get into later, Faddis, is that just before, I believe, the eve before Sean Combs' arrest, the feds were liaising, meeting with prosecutors that were handling the Tupac Shakur murder investigation. Wow. Hmm. What does that mean? It means to me, the charges ain't over yet. Uh, you know what else I haven't gotten to? So everybody get ready. Allegations that the baby oil that was found, thousand bottles of baby oil found at Diddy's home was actually laced with GHB, gamma hydroxybutyrate, the date rape drug. You know how you can rub cannabis oil on yourself and it infuses your skin with basically pot?

Starting point is 00:06:44 Is that true for a roofie? I don't know, but that has just hit the headlines. Where did that come from? That said, I want to go to the entire panel on this, but first to Dr. Bethany Marshall. You know what I love, Dr. Bethany Marshall, Dr. Bethany Marshall, a renowned psychoanalyst joining us from Beverly Hills. She's the author of Deal Breakers. You can see her on Peacock and a lot more. Dr. Bethany, I love trying co-defendants together. I love to put them in the same pot, let them stew, because you can always count on this.

Starting point is 00:07:21 He did it. She did it. I didn't do it. That's what's happening here. Diddy is trying to blame the feds for him prancing up and down a hotel hallway and nothing but a towel and beating Cassie Ventura. That's what's happening here. Nancy, that's exactly what's happening. You know, P. Diddy has related to everybody around him on the basis of power and control for so many years that he

Starting point is 00:07:47 thinks he can do it with the feds. What we're going to learn more in this case is about his offending pattern, just like he stalked his victims, just like he attacked them, he raped them, he probably punished them, made them feel like whatever happened to them was their fault. He's in a way assaulting the feds, too. It's always the same offending pattern, Nancy. It just plays out in endless variations. But in this case, he's not attacking or blaming a 16 year old or a 12 year old sex worker. He's blaming a government agency. So he's not going to have the power that he's been used to his entire life. You know, the blame game is going on and on. Let me go to an expert you know well by now.

Starting point is 00:08:35 Lynn Shaw found a director of Lynn's Warriors, a nonprofit that is dedicated to ending sex exploitation of girls and women. Lynn Shaw, in this case, we are going to see the victims being blamed. But before I get to that, it's already started, that whole smear the victims. But before I get to that, what do you make of Sean Combs behind bars blaming the fans for Linky? You think the fans like that? I don't think so. Nancy, you can't ask me that.

Starting point is 00:09:10 This creepy, crazy, criminal, dirty diddy, as I like to call him. If we break it down and just had the Cassie video alone, that is enough with so many different charges. We don't care about his whining and his crying and that lawyer flapping his lips all over everywhere, telling everybody, you know, the feds, the feds, the feds. We've got to focus on the many victims coming forward a lot. Remember, they don't know each other and they're coming together with similar stories.

Starting point is 00:09:41 Remember, where there's smoke, there's fire. We cannot keep blaming. It's always in the justice system. We have to outgrow this in 2024, blaming the victims. Let's hear all of their stories. I don't care about him. He doesn't like his food. He's crying. His family's showing up. Well, right now he's also blaming the feds. And to you, Tom Smith, jumping off what Lynn Shaw just said, Tom Smith, former NYPD detective co-host of the Gold Shields podcast. You can find him at the Gold Shields show dot com. You heard Faddis stating that it's basically what he's saying.

Starting point is 00:10:17 It's also the feds fault because they did a, quote, military raid. His words, not mine. And we're very heavy handed in their search of Sean Combs home. Let's see the video of the mansion search, one of his mansions anyway. Correct me if I'm wrong, Lauren Collin, but Tom Smith, when you enter a structure where you know or believe that people will be armed or have access to weapons. How do you conduct a raid like that? Because now we're hearing this is the Fed's fault, too, because of the, quote, militaristic raid on the mansion. Well, you conduct it as the worst case scenario. If you have information that people may be armed and there's weapons in that structure,

Starting point is 00:11:04 you're going to do it tactfully and you're going to do it quick and you're going to do it by the book to make sure no one on that team is injured. And that's the way it's done. It's done on the lowest level in an apartment complex in the Bronx or in Diddy's house. That's how raids and search warrants are conducted. So again, it's their fault. It's all their fault. And as a matter of fact, Lauren Conlon joining me, co-host Primetime Crime on YouTube. Lauren Conlon, isn't it true? Oh, guys, this video is from our friends at TMZ. Thank you, Harvey Levin. Look at this. Look at this. And weapons were found. Weapons were found in the bedroom. And I would say about $20,000. Oh, there you go. $20,000 worth of tennis shoes. Lauren Conlon, tell me about the weapons found. Am I correct

Starting point is 00:11:59 that weapons were found in that raid? Yes, Nancy, you're correct. And this does not look good. There were three defaced AR-15s. I mean, that is wild. There's only one reason you deface your AR-15s, if you ask me. Guys, again, blaming everybody but himself. Diddy whining behind bars that the feds are leaking. The feds say, no way did that happen. Joining me also, special guest, Dr. Dwayne Hendricks, former associate warden at MDC. That is where Diddy is being held right now in Brooklyn. Former senior warden with the USDOJ, Federal Bureau of Prisons. It goes on and on and on, this resume of his. Dr. Hendricks, thank you for being with us.

Starting point is 00:12:45 You worked at MDC, and now Diddy is whining. Can I do this anymore? Whining about the conditions at MDC. Thoughts? You worked there. Why do you have those conditions? What conditions? What is he talking about?

Starting point is 00:12:59 Well, anyone who's ever been to inside a prison is uncomfortable. But being confined in an institution is not for your comfortability. And I understand his attorney had mentioned the worst conditions that he's suffering thus far is the food. He's having a hard time adjusting to the food at the institution. Again, you know, the Karma food truck is not has not pulled up to serve the meals there. So no one's going to poison his food or anything like that. But I will say, you know, the complaining about the the meals is going on deaf ears. There are 36 million children across this country.

Starting point is 00:13:42 Hold on. I love what you just said. And you put it so nicely. That's like putting perfume on the pig. His complaints about the food is falling on deaf ears. Don't you know that the head of food services or the cafeteria is like, Diddy's complaining about my food? Uh-uh. No, he does not want, he, she does not want to hear that. No. And that, you know, every day the institution duty officer, you know, the person, the supervisory staff member that's there in the evenings, on the weekends, as a representative for the executive staff, they check or they actually taste one meal per day. And by policy is to make sure the food is palatable. So basically, meaning. Now, you've been in the system for 30 years,

Starting point is 00:14:26 but I detect that you are reading. You have to look down to see how many times they get food? No, what I'm saying is I'm just wanting to make sure my notes are right in terms of what the policy requirements are. So what I'm saying is every day someone is checking to make sure the food is

Starting point is 00:14:42 palatable. I'm sorry, edible. But Diddy doesn't have his private chef, so he's whining about it. So, bottom line, Sean Combs is whining about being behind bars. He's blaming the feds. It's their fault the Cassie video was leaked, which it wasn't leaked by the federal agents. I suspect someone on the Cassie Ventura side may know how it got out, but blaming the victims is the single worst thing he's doing. When you find out what his trial strategy is going to be, that's it. The whole thing is, it's the victim's fault. It was all consensual and they were either hookers or hoes.

Starting point is 00:15:29 That's the defense. Mark Agnifilo claims he has interviewed multiple sex workers involved in Diddy's freak offs. And the consensus is nothing ever seemed non-consensual. Agnifilo asserts the witnesses say no one was too drunk or too high to understand what they were doing. However, even in the case that victims did agree to participate, the state may argue Combs' exorbitant wealth and extreme power made victims feel like they had no choice but to comply. They're essentially saying it's a lubricant for an orgy. I guess. I don't know what you need a thousand. One bottle of baby oil goes a long way.

Starting point is 00:16:04 I don't know what you need a thousand for. I mean, he has a big house he buys in bulk. You know, I think they have Costco's in every place where he has a home. I mean, have you sat in a parking lot of a Costco and see what people walk out of there with? Not a thousand bottles of baby oil. I don't think it was a thousand. I think it was. I think it was. Let's just say it's a lot. OK, how did Harvey Levin keep himself from laughing right there? That clip is from our friends at TMZ. And there's a class that they need to offer at law school. It's called sit down and shut up. Lawyers cannot shut up. They just can't. So why Agnefellow engaged with Levin,

Starting point is 00:16:42 who was also a lawyer? Well, that was just stupid. Okay, there's really not a nice way to say it. But speaking of baby oil, which, by the way, Agnefellow, the allegation it was used as a lube, lubricant at the freak-offs, a euphemistic term according to prosecutors, for rape sessions. All right, let's bring it all home here. We can snicker all we want to at Diddy whining behind bars or Agnefellow sticking his foot in his mouth. But what we're talking about are new and recent charges that Combs and or his staff laced the baby oil with the date rape drug. These are not my words. These are words coming straight out of a legal document and a civil complaint. In the last 48 hours, claiming Combs, quote, particularly fancied, end quote, rehypnol, the date rape drug, gamma hydroxybutyrate, and would then, quote, commit heinous nonconsensual acts of sex, violence, and rape. It claims that Combs would, quote, secretly spike alcoholic

Starting point is 00:18:08 beverages like champagne or lemon drop cocktails with GHB. It goes on and on and on. Now, we've all heard of drinks being laced with GHB, the date rape drug. But have you ever heard of a bodily lubricant or lotion being laced with GHB or hypnol? I want to go straight out to Dr. Bethany Marshall. You know we had a good time making crying sounds or I did. But now I want to talk about what this means. Now, the concept of lacing a body lotion with GHB, that's going to be new to a lot of people. And you say, how does that work? Is that like rubbing a baby aspirin on your arm and expecting your headache to go away? Wait, think about cannabis oil, all right? Oil infused with the main ingredient of pot. And by all accounts, it works. It's even medicinally prescribed.

Starting point is 00:19:26 All those doctors can't be wrong, Dr. Bethany. What do you make of this legal allegation that has emerged in the last 48 hours? It sounds like he was mixing GHB with baby oil and then injecting it into the anal cavities of his victims. And the reason he would have done that is that then the GHB is absorbed into the bloodstream more quickly. Now, remember, there were more men than women. Whoa, whoa, whoa, Dr. Bethany, Dr. Bethany, hold on. You got me drinking out of the fire hydrant here too much, too fast. So it's not that the baby oil was necessarily rubbed onto the body after being laced with the date rape drug.

Starting point is 00:20:13 It was like an enema. Right. That is exactly right. I mean, we think of a date rape drug as, you know, a woman's at a bar and somebody, you know, slips a pill or a roofie into her drink. This is totally different. This is injecting it anally and perhaps either under the guise of, you know, some pretense for why there needed to be baby lube inserted anally, and then it would be absorbed so quickly into the bloodstream, the victim would not know what hit them. And these are not just female victims, Nancy. These are male victims.

Starting point is 00:20:53 These were male-predominated parties, okay? Underage girls were there. Girls of legal age were there. But there were a lot of boys and men too. So there was a lot of same-sex activity going on. So I think if we think of that, really, they were trying to use a pretext of something called chem sex. And that is when you use chemicals to enhance sexual arousal and the duration of the sex act. So it can go on for hours or days. And these poor women, these unsuspecting women were, I mean, they were raped and they were drugged in such an unusual way. Nancy, think about a thousand bottles of baby oil.

Starting point is 00:21:41 Think about 10 victims per bottle. I don't know how big these bottles were. You have 10,000 victims. I mean, that is a prolific, prolific rape machine that we're talking about now. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. GHB takes about 15 minutes to take effect and the effects last for hours, which could corroborate many of the alleged victims' claims that they had a drink. And then the next thing they remember, they wake up with pain in the vagina or the anus. Now in this lawsuit, the one that was filed about 48 hours ago was followed almost immediately by another lawsuit the next day by Ashley Parham claiming that Combs doused her with the baby oil before a gang rape. In that case, she was claiming the rape was payback because she had said he ordered the hit on Tupac Shakur. Okay, let's try to get our facts straight.

Starting point is 00:22:55 Lauren Conlin is with me, investigative reporter at Primetime Crime on YouTube. Lauren Conlin, now in the first lawsuit, it suggests that the baby oil infused with the date rape drug was rubbed on the skin. Dr. Bethany is bringing up the specter of anal infusion. Now, I feel like I've seen it all, but this may be a shock to the system for a jury. Lauren Conlon, what can you tell me? Yes, Nancy, I want to add to that because it was John Doe from New Jersey who filed a lawsuit in 2008 that essentially corroborates everything that Dr. Bethany just said. He actually said that after the horrific act, that he felt something leak out of him and he felt so sick over this because he assumed it was semen but it wasn't

Starting point is 00:23:47 said that this added to his trauma immensely let me introduce you to my mom called ma duce she's getting a drip with me she's hydrated what's up ma she come with me to strip club i don't care real she could touch the floor with her palms you know flat flat whatever i'm not the church lady uh i'm a trial lawyer speaking of the mother who claims that the the case the federal case and the civil lawsuits against her son sean combs is a quote public lynching i've got a funny feeling the alleged victims don't feel that way. But that said, the mother appears in court at the last hearing in flamboyant manner. Take a listen. Sean Diddy Combs appears in front of new judge Arun Subramanian wearing tan jail clothes and a huge grin.

Starting point is 00:25:03 The mogul seems to be in good spirits at his latest status hearing with his family there to support him. Mom Janice Combs wearing a tiger print coat and sparkly sunglasses accompanies six of Combs' seven children into the courtroom to the screams of hecklers. Combs reportedly blows kisses to his family and gestures to show them he's praying, getting a few moments to speak with them in the courtroom. Now, that rarely happens where a defendant charged with serious crimes and is looking at life behind bars gets additional time with family in court. That never happens. But it did happen.

Starting point is 00:25:39 Lauren Conlon joining us, co-host Primetime Crime on YouTube. Lauren, again, thank you for being with us. Tell me what happened in court in addition to the mom showing up. And I would expect her to be there. I don't believe, well, I can think of a few, but very, very few cases where a defendant's mother did not show up in court to support the child. Go ahead. What happened? Yes, it was crazy outside of the courtroom, especially when his family walked in. And I have to say, she looked like she was ready to walk down a red carpet.

Starting point is 00:26:08 It was it was a little a little over the top, I guess. But Diddy that day, apparently he was told that he could face some additional charges. And they also set an official trial date of May 5th. So a lot happened that day. And when I was outside, I saw the MDC bus and Nancy, it just, it gave me chills to see that dirty old bus. It looked a little brown and I'm just like, man, how far did he fall? He's getting back on that bus and going to MDC after this. And then I was very disappointed because his lawyers didn't really say much of anything after. We were all waiting for them to give this big speech.

Starting point is 00:26:51 And yeah, nothing was really said. So what do you believe is going to happen regarding a third try at bail, Lauren Conlon? Of course, they're going to try. And I have some questions because what they want to agree to, they said something like 24-7 surveillance on Diddy. They will do if he is granted bail. Nancy, how do they do that? How do they get you in the bathroom? How do they get you when you're doing these private things to ensure that you're not doing anything salacious?

Starting point is 00:27:19 During the status hearing to which Lauren Cullen is referring, a lot happened. Listen. During the status hearing, Judge Subramanian says he is open to hearing bail arguments, but attorney Mark Agnifilo declines, commenting that we're making a go of MDC as staff have been very accommodating. This, while attorneys Alexandra Shapiro and Jason Driscoll file another bail argument in appeals court claiming Judge Andrew Carter made his ruling based on speculation, not hard evidence. The status hearing focuses instead on scheduling and a gag order request from the defense. OK, straight out to Eric Faddis, our legal expert joining us, partner at Varner Faddis Elite Legal. Eric, thank you for being with us. So the defense is claiming that Bond was denied because the judge that denied Bond originally and secondarily, there were two judges,

Starting point is 00:28:15 relied on speculative information. What would that be? Did he is a billionaire and did he can flee the country? I don't think that's speculative. So what are they talking about? Are they saying when the prosecution said he could intimidate witnesses, you've got witnesses lined up claiming he threatened them physically, pulled guns on them and threatened to ruin their careers by releasing porn tapes of them. So what's the speculation? All that is solid. Yeah, Nancy, I think what defense might be arguing is that the judge relied on like representations from the prosecution saying, hey, this is the evidence we have, and we'll be able to show it. But they only submitted one video, the prosecution with their

Starting point is 00:28:59 response to the motion for bail. And perhaps the defense is saying, hey, we need to see the hard evidence before the court. And that court needs to base its ruling on that hard evidence, not just statements from the prosecutor. Okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Eric Faddis, why do you expect the state to put on probative evidence that they're going to use at trial in a bond hearing? All you have to show at a bond hearing is one, one of several items. They're a flight risk. They're a danger to the community or to themselves. They would try to tamper with or intimidate a witness. Those are three. I can show all three of those just like that at the drop of the hat. So I don't need hard evidence. We already have the video, the Cassie Ventura video, which shows he will

Starting point is 00:29:46 beat a victim. No question about that. We already know that he is loaded, that he can run right over to Teterboro, the private airstrip, and leave if he wants to. He's got the means to do that. And he's a danger. I mean, when you don't know a horse faddist, look at his track record. How many people has he allegedly sex assaulted? When you got a track record like that, why am I going to, why do I think you're going to turn into a choir boy if you get bond? So right there, I got him nailed on three bond requirements. Yeah, I feel you, Nancy. And when I was a prosecutor, rarely did I ever submit like actual exhibits with a bond argument, you know? Yeah, I feel you, Nancy. And when I was a prosecutor, rarely did I ever submit like actual exhibits with a bond argument, you know? Yeah, no, I hear you. What I'm saying is it's not

Starting point is 00:30:32 a full-blown trial at a bond hearing. The defendant doesn't have the same rights. They don't have the right to confrontation. They don't have the right to cross-examine witnesses. It's much more informal than that. And so the prosecution really handled this in a customary fashion. I think defense's argument on appeal regarding Vaughn is going to fail. Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. The first big-name celebrity to be officially accused of misconduct at a Diddy party is Kanye West. West's former assistant, Lauren Pichota, claims that at a joint party with Diddy, her boss forced her to have at least one drink. Lauren says she woke up the next morning with no memory of the night before, thinking someone had laced her drink. Years later, Yee brought up the time they hooked up.

Starting point is 00:31:22 It was then Lauren realized West had sexually assaulted her. In the last hours, a Kanye West sex harassment claim, claiming that Kanye drugged her at a Sean Combs Diddy studio session and assaulted her. We've heard all along that names are going to be named and that no one is safe. I take a listen specifically from a plaintiff's lawyer, the one with the 800 number call, did he, if he molested you, that a particular drug was being used and drinks that was causing people to be coerced and taken advantage of. And you were there in the room or you participated or you watched it happen and didn't say anything or you helped cover it up. In my view, you have a problem. over at TMZ. You got Busby claiming he is going to out anybody that was at the party that enabled Combs to attack women or his colleagues. But who is he talking about? Apparently, he doesn't have a problem with naming celebs. So let me understand. What is the claim,

Starting point is 00:33:00 Lauren Conlon, against Kanye? Oh, yeah. he's not a sex ambitionist. Have you seen him leading around his wife with, she's basically naked. He's always fully dressed, like completely head to wrist to toe, and she's wearing like a band-aid. So whatever, don't care. I only care about these claims against these victims. So how does Kanye, how is he part of this? Kanye allegedly threw this party with Diddy. And I just want to point out that this lawsuit from his assistant, it was initially filed in June of 2024. And it was sexual harassment and wrongful termination because he let her go. And then she just recently added

Starting point is 00:33:47 this, the sexual assault charge, because she saw what was happening. She felt safe and she felt like this was important. Okay. To Tom Smith joining me, former NYPD detective. He's seen it all. Tom Smith, I know you're busy right now creating your Gold Shields podcast, which is a big hit, but can you think back in a time warp to when you were working the street as an NYPD? Every time there's a rape case, the first thing the defendant says is, I don't know her. Next thing they say is, oh, her. Yeah,

Starting point is 00:34:27 I know her. I saw her at a bar. Next thing they say is, it was consensual. She asked for it. And finally, when bruises and torn clothes emerge, then they plead guilty. Okay. So right here, we're seeing they're all hookers and hoes. That's the defense. He's claiming that Cassie Ventura is a money-seeking, jealous cheater. Oh, she's the bad one? You saw the video, right, Tom? Yeah, I mean, they're setting the defense up. They're disparaging any future jurors. They're disparaging any future witnesses that are going to come forward of,

Starting point is 00:34:59 look what we're going to do to you if you come forward and talk about what happened there. We're going to do to you if you come forward and talk about what happened there. We're going to ruin your life. We're going to, you know, delve deep into your background and we're going to make your life hell. And that's what they're setting up. And they're intimidating witnesses that are maybe set to come forward or thinking about coming forward. You know, Dr. King called it the law of unintended consequences. So sometimes the more you push a person down, the stronger they get. Okay. Did I just hear a Combs attorney, Anthony Rico, compare Sean Combs to MLK Jr.? Did he actually just do that? Because I think he did. He actually compared Sean Combs to the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Starting point is 00:35:47 Okay. FYI, Agnefellow, don't do that at trial. It's not going to work. By the way, we got that from our friends at India Today. He actually compared, okay, he compared Sean Combs to MLK Jr. Let's get back on track. Let's get out of the weeds and back on the road. Sean Combs insisting that he be allowed to name the alleged rape victims.

Starting point is 00:36:16 Listen. Agnafillo has also asked that the prosecution be made to name all of Diddy's accusers that may testify against him. Agnifillo argues that droves of anonymous lawsuits are creating a hysterical media storm that will irreparably deprive Mr. Combs of a fair trial. Specifically, Agnifillo references Houston attorney Tony Busby's press conference claiming to represent over 100 anonymous victims, calling it a publicity stunt. Agnefilo says the only way Combs can prepare an adequate defense is eliminating any surprises by naming his accusers. Eliminating surprises, that's why we have a bill of indictment with all of the witnesses' names, addresses, and phone numbers on it. That's handed over to the defense. This is not trial by

Starting point is 00:37:05 ambush. They have all of the witnesses. What Combs wants is to publicly name the alleged rape victims. Lynn Shaw is just another tactic. First of all, all the alleged victims are hookers and hoes. That's the first claim, which is, I feel like I'm eating a dirt sandwich even repeating it. But that said, the next thing, let's shame them. You have dealt with the rape victims, as have I. The last thing they want is to be confronted about what happened. And the civil, many of the civil complainants have already made themselves known. What is the strategy, Lynn? Well, the strategy is for them just to be so disruptive and loud and say these outrageous things, shaming women in particular. We have to remember there's a lot of men. We have to go there

Starting point is 00:37:58 too. But, you know, what they're saying is just to put fear in everybody. We see this on a daily basis. This is why people do not come forward with these rape cases. And you know what their strategy is from what we heard is going to be these women came here of their own free will. And you know what? They may have done that. But I want to just go back a little bit. I think we need to be focusing on the males that were there and the minors that were there. And we're not talking enough about that. But you know what? This is a lot of noise.

Starting point is 00:38:34 I think the public is smart and I think he is safer in the Manhattan detention center than out on bail, because who knows what might happen to him with all these people circling around. To Dr. Dwayne Hendricks, former associate warden MDC in Brooklyn, former senior warden with USDOJ, 30 years. The man knows what he's talking about. I've been asked this question from everywhere to Sunday school to Walmart. Dr. Hendricks, do you believe there is a chance that Sean Combs is going to be attacked and or beaten behind bars at MDC? No, no, not at all, especially if he's being housed in a special unit while he's going through this process. However, I will say if he is convicted of some of the crimes that he's alleged to have committed, it will be very, very difficult for him to what we call walk on a compound and engage in the prison culture with other inmates. So he would

Starting point is 00:39:42 definitely need to be housed at a facility with individuals with crimes that were committed and convicted of for him to be in a safe environment. So yes, I would say it's going to be very hard for him to integrate himself into a general population unit if he is convicted of these alleged crimes. Dr. Dwayne Hendricks, I want the employees and the staff at MDC to stay awake and not be online shopping like they were when Epstein was killed, which gives me great pause regarding the safety of Sean Combs. And don't get me wrong, I don't want anybody to touch a hair on his head because when he comes in front of that jury, I want him to be looking good

Starting point is 00:40:25 because you know what? I believe that is the mask of a predator. I don't want him coming in court all beat up and roughed up and looking like he's the underdog and he's endured all this hardship. No, I want the jury to see him the way these ladies saw him before they were allegedly raped. You understand? I fully understand. And like I said, there's two things that you don't want to be when you're in prison, in a prison setting. That's one, an informant, and two, a sex offender, especially

Starting point is 00:40:59 offenses that are to minors and children. Because if he is convicted of these crimes, it's going to be a problem. They need to quit whining about the food and let's get it on and get it ready for trial. Whining about food and trying to shame the victims, that's getting them nowhere. And FYI, word to the wise, stop sparring with Harvey Levin, especially on video. Nancy Grace signing off. Goodbye, friend. This is an iHeart Podcast.
