Until a local housewife, a journalist, and a handful of girls, came forward with a story. America, y'all better work the hell up. Bad things happens to good people in small towns.

I'm the homeguard that knows a little bit about everything and everybody. You know if you don't lie about that, right?

Lauren came in hot. All right, y'all, so I just got out of court. You guys know by now that Diddy was sentenced to 50 months, which is four years in prison. The last video I made, I said to y'all that I thought the judge was going to throw the book at Diddy. And I meant that I thought Diddy was going to be looking at anywhere from like seven to ten years. And I was thinking more so like maybe eight with the year, you know, time served or whatever. or seven yeah seven or eight years um and then we went in court and it completely changed yo like i mean did he speaking for himself like it was i mean you had you had a lot of factors right i

think definitely did he speaking for himself i want to read to you the words that did he said because did he speaking for himself today and he said it's been so hard for him to be quiet because i mean you're talking about his fate his future his life here he said it's been so hard for him to be quiet i had to think about it too when he said that i'm like diddy has has been you welcome diddy has been a boss he has been in charge of his own life and career i'll put it right here has been in charge of his own life and career for as long as we've known him like sean diddy cones has been the driver he's been the man the go-to calling on the shots for as long as we've known him and he said it was so hard for him to sit quiet and listen to people talk

about him and talk about things he did or he didn't do but i'm gonna tell you all something i'm glad that he didn't talk. I'm glad that the first time we saw Diddy and heard did he speak in full length was today at the time that he spoke because it saved him. I think when Diddy spoke and took accountability for some things, the judge not only saw because when you're sentencing, you're looking at the totality of the person. It's not just, you know, what does the prosecution thing? What does the government thing? What does the sentencing guideline think? It's like, who is this person in the world? And it's like really a thing of are they better in or better out? And the judge said, look, you need to stay in because I don't believe you and I don't believe that, you know, what you're, I don't believe

that what you're telling me right now is true, but I do believe one day it will be. And if it is, I don't crash. I love you. Thank you. Love you too. I am Kimu Gomez. Kendo Gomez. Okay, drive safe. Um, um, um, yeah, so the judge is like, listen. As much as I believe You're this motivational man, this man that has accomplished so much, despite the fact that you lost your father at a young age, and they're trying to figure it out and whatever, you need to sit down. You need to sit down. You need to take some time.

But I think where this worked out well for Diddy was, the judge is, first of all, I think it being 2025 and people having to consider things like mental health and, you know, like what rehabilitation really looks like a lot differently than we've always known the jails and the prisons to do, really worked in his favor as well because this judge said you need to sit down and really get some time with yourself and really just feel the consequence of what you did but then we also need to think about what your mental health looks like your drug addiction how do we help you with that as well too so did he stood up and he said first of all they asked for a comfort break when we came back in we literally took a break for you know for us to come back in brian so to speak we took a break

after brian still spoke who did he one of ditty's attorney um and then they said can we have a comfort break, 10 minutes. So the judge is like, yes, they wanted that comfort break before Diddy got up into school. Diddy wanted to get us up together. We come back, did he's about to speak. He asked for another five more minutes. I'm like, oh, he is nervous, right? So I keep moving, Patrick Head. Because I'm trying to get the, I want you all to see everything that's happening in the background with the courthouse and all the cars and the people and the cameras and just the movement. So Diddy finally speaks, right? And he says, thanks judge for allowing me to speak up for myself. It's been hard not to be able to speak up for myself and talk about how sorry I am. He then starts to

apologize and he says I apologize to Cassie. He says, you know, and I don't take that apology lightly. I apologize to her family. I apologize to Jane. I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry I brought you into my mess. I apologize to all domestic violence victims because I know that that video on CNN triggered so many people around the world. He says it was disgusting. It was shameful it was sick uh he says did he admits he was sick uh he says that you know he was out of control he needed help and he failed he didn't go get help he failed he says he can't make any excuses because he knew better he says i knew better i was raised to do better and i was like when he said that i knew better i was raised to do better i'm like that's already going on with the judge

because the judge has made a point to say this is not this isn't new this has been happening for over a decade. You're 50-some years old when a lot of these things had happened. So he says, I can't make any excuses because I knew better. I was raised and knew better. My mother raised me better. My faith raised me better. He says, you know, he got lost in his journey. He says, I'm just a man. I'm just a man. I'm not this larger than life person. At the core, at my core, I'm just the man. And I got lost in my journey. This eight, too. He said I got lost in my ego. And the reason why I say that eight, not because it may be like, oh my God, diddy, diddy, diddy. I'm like, this is what the judge was speaking to, literally was speaking to before we went to lunch.

When I told y'all, I think it's a rat for him. And I told y'all, if he's smart, he better readjust his mental, what he's going to say. And you need to speak to exactly what the judge says he does not see or feel from you. And that is exactly what he did. He took some cues and did exactly what he was supposed to. And I do believe it was genuine as well, too. He says, you know, I lost everything. I lost my career.

I lost my reputation. I lost my ability to raise my kids and help my mom. I lost myself respect. I lost my businesses. They talked a lot about him not having money anymore. He said, right now, I hate myself. He says, I've been stripped down to nothing. I really am sorry, no matter what they say.

And when he says they, he's talking about the prosecution. He turns to his kids at this point. He apologizes to them. He says, I felt you all as a dad. And he begins to break down in tears. He apologized to his mom. And he says, you know, I felt you as a son. He says, I'm sorry, mom.

You taught me better. To who much is expected, much is given. I'm sorry, to who much is given, much is expected, that he says. And he says, I felt my community. I just wanted to be an example of what we could do if we were able to solve our own problems, have our own things. I just got lost. I'm not this bad person.

For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her. We know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve,

this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find. I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn or any of that other stuff, They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her. They made me say that I poured gas on her.

I'm Jonathan Goldstein and on the new season of heavyweight, I help a centenarian mend a broken heart. Can a 101-year-old woman fall in love again? And I help a man atone for an armed robbery he committed at 14 years old. And so I pointed the gun at him and said, this isn't a joke.

He says, Your Honor, if given a second chance, you can show people, and I can show people that I've changed.

Sometimes events happen in your life that just change you. Now, these are not excuses that I'm making. I've been changed. I beg for your mercy, Your Honor. He then talks about, you know, asking and begging for a second chance to not only just change, to show change, but to also be a father, to be a son, to be a leader again. He says, Your Honor, I'm asking you to get, I'm asking you for this chance to get the help I really need. I don't want to let my family down. They need me.

I'm scared. They're scared. I'm all that they had. go away they have nobody and i blame myself for that i'm willing to i'm willing to comply with any conditions that the court puts upon me um he talks about you know he wants to go around to share his story but he doesn't want to go around to share her story because he wants to be puff daddy the man the you know all the things it's not about that he says this is traumatic this is a what he is doing with right now is horrific and if he can share this story maybe he can say this is all the people

even from court, all of the outlets, all of the, like, everybody. He says, maybe he can save one person. So even at Miami booking that the prosecution just threw out there as this plan booking in Miami, that was a whole revitalized plan that his team had put up with, come up with. They had talked to the, you know, the prison system already, the sheriff's departments down there, the Department of Corrections, probation offices, and everybody was in agreement that this program will be amazing. They need this program.

It's more effective when people get out of jail and they're putting programs, they don't, they don't return back to jail. So this would be amazing. They turned that whole narrative upside down and did his favor as well, too. He says, I don't care about no fame, no money. I don't care if I ever make another record again or perform again. If I get a chance to share my traumatic story, I can save someone's life. Thank you to the jury, Your Honor. You gave me, Your Honor, confidence to trust the jury.

Thank you to them for the not guilty. I don't take lightly my man act charges and I'm dealing with the consequences. I thought that was another point where I'm like he listened and he's really listening. He's setting everything aside whether he thinks he should have been proven guilty or not. He's setting all that aside and saying regardless of what I think here's what happened and as much as I don't want to be here, I accept it. And I'm going to deal with the consequences because the judge made it clear he did not feel like did he at any point even acknowledge those charges because he didn't think he should. be based with him, nor should he be convicted of him. He says, I thank them for

the not guilty. I don't take my man at church slightly. He says, the prosecution wants you to make an example out of me. I want you to make an example that things can happen if someone's giving a second chance. And then the sentencing came down. And when the sentencing came down, the judge opened up with, you know, telling

the court that as much as he's realized that Diddy is his self-made artist, this businessman who has inspired many people and done all these things, a devoted family man, He says, and he says, the judge said, I consider the collateral damage to your family and to your kids. So it was very effective having a children feed man. There was not a dry eye in the building when those kids spoke.

He says, the court knows that addiction is real and that you've been able to get clean from incarceration. But you've got to consider all of your history. And a lot of your history includes the violence that you've, the power, the misuse of power, not having respect for the law and for the, you know, in everything. evidence is massive. He says, I sat here and I listened to Cassie testified, Jane testified. I saw text messages, emails, all the photos of abuse. And then he talked about the sentencing of 50 months to four years. I'm trying to tell y'all, I don't think anybody rejoices for joy, you know, rejoices when they're headed to jail. But diddy is so lucky right now. I, I, I, the judge's tone before we led back into the second half of the day was not anything of giving, there was no mercy on the court in my opinion. The judge wasn't mean about it. He wasn't rude about it, but I did not think that there was going to be mercy in the court. But I do think that Diddy speaking and taking accountability in front of the court in front of his children in front of his family.

Because the judge definitely understood how much his family means to him. Him doing that and showing that, I think it changed things for him for the better. So he'll do the time and we'll see what happens from here. If I'm Diddy's team, I wouldn't even appeal. I wouldn't. I understand why they would want to because they feel like there are certain things that shouldn't have been factored in. like, you know, them being able to look at things that were acquitted. But I think for what Diddy was facing and what he's going to actually do,

he made out the best way he could have made out in this. This is the latest with Lauren Rosa. I'm heading on over to NBC4, New York, to talk to them about the same thing. Make sure you guys tune in.
