You hear that excuse? You know if you don't lie about that, right? Lauren came in hot. Hey, y'all, what's up?

It's Lauren the Rosa, and this is the latest with Lauren the Rosa. This is your daily dig on all things, pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room. Now, I know we have talked a lot about Diddy in the last couple days because he was sentenced on October 3, 2025 to four years and two months behind bars. But I had a little bonus content for you guys. I recorded a video when I came outside of the courtroom during our lunch break. Now, to set the scene, this video is before Diddy got sentenced.

But it is after a lot of the ping ponging back and forth between the defense, which is Diddy's team and the prosecution or the government and the judge getting in and saying how he felt. I didn't think that Diddy was going to come home after hearing that part, this part of the trial. and this was just on my lunch break but I want you guys to hear it as well sharing it as a bonus episode because I love my little riders thank you guys for tuning in

now take a listen to me outside of the courtroom literally hours before Sean Diddy Combs was sentenced All right y'all so really really quick I just wanted to I wanted to give you guys a little update first of all let me just say people are asking the minute I walked out of court

people were asking me what's the feeling in there like what's the temperament in the court the last I would say in the beginning beginning, of course, so the first few hours, it feels like did he about to get the book thrown at him, if I'm being honest with y'all. Like, I think, you know, there's a lot of things to take into consideration here. I think the fact that the judge says, hey, even though he was acquitted of, you know, all those things that relate to that RICO and everything that he didn't do hit with chargewise that didn't stick, you can consider that when having a conversation about certain things moving forward, you know, as you're talking about sentencing, because the judge's, point was we wouldn't have ended up here at prostitution if it wasn't for certain

things that had to do with some of the charges he was acquitted. Point being, they talked a lot about the force, the coercion, the fear that they, you know, are saying that Diddy, and put into these women and put into Jane and put into Cassie, which made them do things they

did not want to do. The judge specifically mentioned a thing threatening to not pay for Jay's home for her six days. The judge mentioned Diddy texting Cassie and threatening to leak sex tapes, you know, all things that there were hard evidence of even though those charges did not stick, right? So the minute you hear that, because what they're having a conversation about right now is, is like, it's the guidelines,

the sentencing guidelines, and what can you lean on when you went, or what is the court going to lean on? And what is the court allowed to lean on? And they're taking it from both sides. they're looking at here's what the prosecution is asking for for us to consider to think about here's what diddy team is asking us to consider and think about and here's everything that each side is saying we don't want you to consider or think about right but then at the same time right you have you know diddy's team who gets up there and Nicole Westmoreland broke down in tears his attorney Nicole Westmoreland broke down in tears and I don't people are always like why you refer to her as the black woman attorney and here I'm going to do so because I feel like like it's important to do so, right? And I'll explain why. So Nicole S. Moreland is, she's a black woman attorney from Atlanta. She's also, it's also been, you know, a thing and a conversation about the fact that she is a sexual violent or sexual assault survivor, right? She broke down in tears talking about what did he means to this family, to the black community, the strides that he's made as like the first black man to do several different things and just how he's used all of his

all of his fame to help people. He is not a person that has just disregarded people in the way the prosecution wants you to believe. But here's the thing. Before Westmoreland got up there and began to cry, and I think, you know, and the reason why I brought the fact that she's a black woman on a team doing so is because none of the white attorneys could have did that. For me, in my opinion, I understood why she was doing it, but I felt like after the

hours of, you know, it was so clear, in my opinion. that the judge, he doesn't believe that Diddy is as remorseful as he should be. The judge specifically pointed out, because Diddy was asking, you know, for sentencing to be taken easy on him because he has been remorseful to the court. He's asking several different things, but I was one of them, right? I'll get more into that later. But the judge is like, look, you've been remorseful and you've apologized for things. You haven't even, and you've admitted to things, yes.

But you have yet to even admit to what you were actually convicted of, which was the prostitution. charges. Nor have you apologized for that. So no, I'm not going to say, oh my God, he's so remorseable to the court. I want to make sure we take this light. No. I'm Hunter, host of Hunting for Answers on the Black Effect Podcast Network.

Hey, sis, what if I could promise you you never had to listen to a condescending finance bro? Tell you how to manage your money again. Welcome to Brown Ambition. This is the hard part when you pay down those credit cards. If you haven't gotten to the bottom of why you were racking up credit or turning to credit cards, you may just recreate the same problem a year from now. When you do feel like you are bleeding from these high interest rates, I would start

shopping for a debt consolidation loan, starting with your local credit union, shopping around online, looking for some online lenders because they tend to have fewer fees and be more affordable. Listen, I am not here to judge. It is so expensive in these streets. I 100% can see how in just a few months, You can have this much credit card debt when it weighs on you. It's really easy to just, like, stick your head in the sand.

It's nice and dark in the sand. Even if it's scary, it's not going to go away just because you're avoiding it. And in fact, it may get even worse. For more judgment-free money advice, listen to Brown Ambition on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. In early 1988, federal agents raced to track down the gang they suspect of importing millions of dollars worth of heroin into New York. from Asia. We had 30 agents ready to go with shotguns and rifles and you name it. But what they find is not what they expected.

Basically, your stay-at-home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. They go, is this your daughter? I said yes. They go, oh, you may not see her for like 25 years. Caught between a federal investigation and the violent gang who recruited them, the women must decide who they're willing to protect and who they dare to betray. Once I saw the gun, I try to take his hand and I saw the flash of light.

Listen to the Chinatown Sting on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts. And while the judge is talking about what they're able to use and, you know, these attorneys are like, I mean, Ryan's still. his head was in his hands. His face was in his hands, like, in disbelief almost. You had two of Viti's attorneys stand up, Shapiro and Tini Garico stand up and talk about how being able to

use anything he was to put it up, how partially that's going to impact his sentencing. The judge used the word, uh, it would be non-consequential because you can only use it when having conversation around how we arrived to the actual things he was charged with, right? Which honestly, in my opinion, I'm like, there's no way that you can. only use it for certain things. And this is, those things that you're talking about when it comes to force, coercion, the beating of the women, that all speaks the character. It's hard to not consider that when you're making a determination on sentencing.

And Tina Garikos made a good point. She said, I just want to put on record. You said the word non-consequential. Can we please discuss like, yes, it is. And the judge corrected himself. He said, you know, my bad, if that's the word I use. But I want to be specific when I say, you know, here is how I imply for. for us as the court to be able to use anything he was acquitted of in sentencing.

And the way that I am thinking about this and the way that it should be set up based on previous case law is not when it comes to the conversation of sentencing guidelines, but solely to understand how we arrived here. And the reason why I keep saying that is because the judge is arguing and the court is believing that in order for ditty to be convicted of prostitution charges, he had to be able to force the women. He had to be able to put fear of the women. It had to be able to, all of the things, run an enterprise where people protected what he was doing and there's multiple people involved. And it's obvious that they're setting up, you know, did he see him lines for an appeal because Shapiro began to speak to that. But man, when the kids got up there, because now you have Nicole Westmoreland and she's crying. And in the temperature, I'm telling you all, going into this, it's like, oh, they're about to throw the book at him. They're not binding that this man, it was an addict who made mistakes.

They're not buying it. they're not buying the downplan and decision to beat Cassie up and down the hallway as, you know, a dark moment in time that he's now rehabilitated itself from. And it was obvious that the court was not buying it. Nicole Westmore gets up there. She's crying. She's talking about the impact on the black community as a black woman, what it means to her, how she saw Diddy speak in DEC and, you know, how it moved her and all these things. I think she was really trying to make the judge understand how much of a vessel that he is. seems better outside of a jail

than inside was her ending point. Then the kids get up to sleep. I cried, y'all. Like, I was like, oh, my God. And it wasn't because I feel bad for Diddy. I think a lot of the decisions that he's made has ended him up here. I wish him the best, though. But it was more so about

these kids did not choose this. Like, they did not. They did not choose to be in the situation. They did not choose a life that would end them up in this courtroom, crying in front of all these people, all the headlines. One of the twins, one of the clones said please like she was begging the judge sobbing crying begging the judge just please allow us the opportunity to heal as a family and not as a headline christian was was the first hey how you doing

christian was the first of i mean well quincy spoke first then just then then christian but christian was emotional he was emotional first so he talked about you know everybody knows christian and did he's relationship did he has relationship with all of his kids but christian is like the guy's twin you know what i mean And so he talked about, you know, understanding and feeling his dad differently than even potentially some of his siblings and knowing that his dad has changed over time because of conversations. But when the girls begin to speak, man, Diddy's hands dropped into his head. He couldn't even, he was watching them. He had to turn away at some point. Like, it was, it was really tough.

Like, it was, it was hard. I was crying. People said it next to me we were crying. I'm looking in the courtroom on the monitor. You know, Diddy's breaking down. You got people, I saw Lisa Hilton crying. who's Justin Combs' mom. Like, then they play this video that shows all of his, like, family interactions in these

moments. Diddy couldn't even watch the video. And the craziest thing about all of this is from, now, so the day, we were on break for lunch, going into lunch, it ended emotionally heavy. Before that, it was very much, the court is given no remorse to Diddy. And the whole time I kept thinking two things. These kids did not ask for this, and I feel so. bad for them. And another thing I thought of is Diddy's ego and his addiction is what ended

us up here. And I just, I wish and I hope that when he speaks, he readjust whatever he had planning because it is very obvious that the judge is not, you don't feel remorse from Diddy. And I think, I think what would be most impactful to hear from Diddy today before court ends is he was an addict and what that really means. Because I think people are remorse. moving that too because I mean obviously because you saw a woman be beat on camera so you're not going to you don't sympathize with it with a woman abuse it and you shouldn't but I think that there is something to I'm remorseful but not only am I remorseful now I understand exactly what is fucked up to be able to begin to fix it do I think that the judge feels like the amount

of time that he has been locked up is enough time to just let him walk free with supervisory hell no i don't think that i don't think that the judge is at right now as a court is like a little bit after 1 p.m the sentencing of shorn tithones i don't see a judge taking it easy on him whatsoever this is the latest with lorna rosa i'll be back at the end of court to give you guys you know some talk on whatever happened at the end of each episode i tell you guys i am always appreciative for you guys tuning in my low riders who've been rocking out with me born or not.
