Listen to The Moment with Jorge Ramos and Paola Ramos on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Introducing IVF Disrupted, the Kind Body Story, a podcast about a company that promised to revolutionize fertility care. It grew like a tech startup. While Kind Body did help women start families, it also left behind a stream of disillusioned and angry patience. You think you're finally, like, in the right hands. You're just not.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Listen to IvyF Disrupted, the Kind Body Story, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm a homeguard that knows a little bit about everything in everybody. Give me an excuse. You know if you're going to lie about that, right? Lauren came in hot. Hey y'all, what's up? It's Lauren LaRosa, and this is the latest with Lauren LaRosa.
Starting point is 00:02:31 This is your daily dig on all things, pop culture, entertainment news, and all of the conversations that shake the room. Now, you guys know I am so big on bringing you what is happening, but bringing you what is happening in real time is one of my most favorite things. So it is Friday, September 26th, and it is later in the evening. waiting, like literally, we've been on a Diddy trial watch all day. When I say we, I mean, me and the other journalists, but also his attorneys. I've been checking in, you know, with my other journalist friends. We have a group chat that we created, like a lot of the other
Starting point is 00:03:10 journalists that were covering the case from the time that we were in court, you know, where we just like share information and links and updates and, you know, just different things. And a lot of us thought that the judge in Diddy's case would have decided on whether or not not, he was going to acquit ditty of some or all of the charges or give him a retrial. We thought that the decision was going to come down today. So you guys know I was in court in the episode prior to this one. If you do not know that, if you have not heard that episode, please go take a listen. I broke down exactly what happened.
Starting point is 00:03:43 But while in court, one of the things I felt like at the end of the court day, the judge kind of gave himself away. He said things like, I'll see you. you guys next week or almost said it and caught himself like you know small things like that um you know and that's not verbatim uh so you want to state that that's not verbatim but there were small things like that were that he slipped up and caught himself while he was dismissing in a journey the courtroom um that made me feel like his mind is made up he knows what he's going to do and what he's not going to do and you know all of those things but he just has to you know there's a process that he has to go through
Starting point is 00:04:23 legally because he wants to be fair. So I thought by now we would have an answer to all of those questions and all the things that Diddy's team proposed, you know, in this last trial before. And there's one last time we're in court before we go to sentence in. But no, we haven't gotten it yet. So we are still waiting. You know, I've reached out to sources close to the court who say everyone's still on a wait. This, you know, this time is where, you know, the judge is analyzing everything.
Starting point is 00:04:48 He's reading everything. He's requesting things to be to be submitted additional information. all of the things. But next Friday is the sentencing. Unless Diddy is acquitted of all these charges, which I do not predict what happened. Next Friday is that sentencing. So we're going to want to, you know, hear something soon and we're going to need to hear something soon. Now, I do want to say, though, that whenever that drops, and it won't be this weekend. At this point, it's Friday, it is after hours, courts are closed. It won't be this weekend. But whenever that drops, it will be a big indicator on what the sentencing energy will give.
Starting point is 00:05:27 If a judge feels like, you know, Diddy should not be facing two counts of anything and he, you know, lessens a count or lessens anything. We'll know that sentencing is going to rule in Diddy's favor. If a judge sticks with what he has right now, it's kind of one of them, it's a 50-50 coin toss. We walk in and we kind of really don't know where we're going, right? But we'll be able to tell something from this. Now, I did an interview outside of the courthouse where it was, and I actually had learned
Starting point is 00:06:00 to kind of stop doing these. I mean, not stop. I would still do them when we were at court. But what I began to realize was my feelings would change every single day, the information changed that I kind of wanted things to like sit with me. But I would record my immediate reaction and then I would later go and record my later reaction and then I would show you the thought progression because I do believe that that's what the jurors are going through and right
Starting point is 00:06:25 now I believe that that's what the judge is going through. He's analyzing information from so many different ways and so many different people. Things change, thoughts, ideas, feelings change. Facts don't change though. That is the thing. And that's what's going to be tricky here is how do we take all of this into account and stick to the facts? Because a lot of people feel like based on the facts, we shouldn't even still be going back and
Starting point is 00:06:48 forth about this. Did he shouldn't be in jail? He should be home time served. But I did an interview with lawyer for workers on Instagram for those you guys who are not familiar. That is an attorney named Moe who has, you know, become pretty popular for covering these cases in real time. I mean, everything from Megastalian to Megastalian to Relynes to some of the biggest cases, Takashi 6'9 and everything that happened there. I met him in court. And that's been another thing about court. I've met so many other people who do what I do. do that I've been following for some time. But I met him in court and we were just having a conversation dialogue afterward, which is also normal too. We all normally do that. And we decided
Starting point is 00:07:28 to record a video in real time and express our thoughts. So I want you guys to take a listen to this and I want to know how y'all feel. Diddy update? I got a special guest with me. Hey, y'all. Lana Rosa here. So today's hearing defense is challenging the verdict saying that under the law, there just wasn't enough evidence presented for a jury convicted of the Mann Act charge. Now, the headline moment came at the end of the hearing. The judge asked either side, do you have anything else left to say? And Did he's lawyer, Alexandra Shapiro, who's very reserved, muted, speaks in a judicial tone, doesn't just throw around words like that. Well, at that moment, she didn't hold back and she said, this is an embarrassment to the United States of America.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Lauren, what did you think when you heard that? I wasn't for sure in the beginning, but after now, after some thought, I can't disagree with her. What's left in this case, right? There is no sex trafficking. there is no coercion, there is no fraud. The only charge here is that three consulting adults went to a hotel and had a threesome or two of them had sex and one watch. Why are we here is essentially the defense's point?
Starting point is 00:08:32 Lauren, what were your other thoughts coming out of today? I think some of the thoughts coming out of today were the prosecution is going to have to do a really good job of providing other cases that show that because Diddy did not benefit financially, he should be held in the way that he's being held and everything. I think they really have to make this make sense at this point if they want the sentence to stick that they want. Look, the prosecution is continuing to bring out the same stuff. After Shapiro, Alexander Shapiro, Diddy's lawyer gave her statement about this as an
Starting point is 00:09:01 embarrassment, prosecution came back and their point was, but judge, he was hitting, judge, he was kicking, judge, there was drugs. That's not what the man act is about. The man act is about transportation to engage in prostitution. The reason why I think Shapiro was saying it was an embarrassment, the reason why folks around this courtroom are thinking, what are we all doing here? Be consenting adults, go have sex in a hotel. What are we doing here? Get out there in the streets and the tweets.
Starting point is 00:09:27 We outside, we outside, we outside in the tweets. Every other page I go. Let me know how you guys are feeling. We're on an acquittal watch. Did he a quiddle watch? Will those charges be thrown out? What do you think? I'm Lauren La Rosa, L-O-R-E-N-L-O-R-O-S-A everywhere.
Starting point is 00:09:50 I want to hear from y'all. At the end of the day, there's always a lot to talk about. And whenever y'all are right here, whether I got, you know, guest-popping episodes, guest-popping recordings in real time from outside of the courthouse or wherever I am, you guys choose to be right here with me. And I appreciate you guys for that. I will see you in my next episode. The murder of an 18-year-old girl.
