That was the BBC's senior producer in New York, Pratiksha Gildiel, who was at the court hearing with Didi last week. Now it's time for Elsewhere in the Diddyverse. Regular Diddy on Trial listeners will know the name Tony Busby by now, but just in case you don't, he is the Texan trial lawyer with multiple cases against Sean Diddy Combs.

He's now representing an anonymous woman known as Jane Doe, who has accused former NFL star and Hall of Fame inductee Shannon Sharp of rape, sexual assault and sexual battery. Shannon Sharp denies all those allegations. Now, Diddy is not mentioned in this lawsuit, but you might be thinking, how? on earth do I know the name Shannon Sharp? I don't know anything about the NFL.

Well, that's because if we cast our minds back to the beginning of 2024, Shannon Sharp had Cat Williams, the comedian, on his podcast, Club Shay Shay, and Cat was very forthcoming about his views on Diddy, saying, when Diddy wants to party, you have got to tell him no. That episode now has 89 million views. Because P. Diddy be wanting to party, and you gotta tell him no.

Now, Shannon is being sued by the same man that is going after Diddy. But Shannon has not been quiet. He released a statement from his lawyer on his Instagram that said the lawsuit was a blatant criminal attempt to shake down Mr. Sharp for millions. The statement was accompanied by texts of a graphic sexual nature that Shannon claims that Jane Doe sent to him.

One of the alleged texts says, Now, I went to Tony Busby with all of this, and here is what he had to say. Just a warning, though, this does contain language you might find offensive. Number one, those texts were sent before the alleged rape. Number two, Shannon Sharp has been in mediation since February with the Jane Doe.

A settlement amount was reached, which Busby alleges to be $10 million, and the Jane Doe decided to turn that down. Number three, Busby also sent along an audio recording of an alleged interaction between the Jane Doe and Mr Sharp, where it appears Shannon threatens to, quote, choke the shit out of the Jane Doe. She says she doesn't want to be choked, and he later responds, quote, Yes, you do.
