You do not want... any of that and when your brand is so attached to your livelihood allegations like that against Sean Combs would destroy him and so I think there's a different calculus for someone like him that says I pay the money I make it go away and I try to just move on and cover this up

Yeah. Just to give the full breadth and the full context. New York, along with California, has created these laws that allow for a look-back window, is the best non-legal way to describe it. Because for sexual assault and other sexual cases, from a civil standpoint, there's what's called a statute of limitations.

You cannot bring, typically, allegations of sexual assault, harassment, things of that nature, civilly, if it's more than 10, 15, 20 years. But because of these lawsuits that have a window that closes—I think the window is open only for a year—

Yeah, so we saw, as that window closed, both Cassie's lawsuit and about three or four other lawsuits just before that deadline. And so to some degree, we anticipated it, I think, in the legal community and a little bit for those at ABC who follow this type of stuff. But for the most part, it was like, okay, they're going to get settled. They're going to figure something out.

I don't think this is going to be a thing where Brad and I are sitting down and talking about this at a podcast because they'll just get resolved and the next big thing will catch people's eyes.

But that didn't happen, because in those lawsuits, we saw similar allegations of sex trafficking, forced labor, allegations that they observed what happened to Cassian, and even corroborations of some of her allegations as well. And going to the phrase of where there's smoke, there's fire, I wouldn't say at this point we saw any fire, but we started seeing a lot more smoke.

Rodney Jones, he was one of the people in this litany of civil lawsuits who files a lawsuit. And I think like Cassie's lawsuit, if Cassie's lawsuit is considered the spark to create this all, Rodney Jones's lawsuit is the roadmap because in his lawsuit, he says, I saw this, I saw that, this happened to other people. I was forced to recruit these people. This happened to me. Here are still shots.

Yes. So I am by trade a defense attorney. I do criminal work. Do I do civil work? Yeah, but that's not my bread and butter. Although it does be a lot of bread and butter. When I read Cassie's lawsuit, I'm like, oh, this is your standard civil lawsuit. This is about damages to me, allegations about what this person did to me. Rodney Jones's lawsuit read like a criminal indictment. It read like...

And I'm like backing up a little from the microphone so you don't hear me yelling, hey, SDNY, over here, look at these places because you can't start a criminal case. Like I read that and I think that's when I pitched the podcast to ABC and I said, something's gonna happen.

DHS and the federal government end up raiding Sean Combs' Miami home and his LA home. They went exactly where Rodney Jones said the alleged material would be, and they did it simultaneously. Why does any law enforcement do raids simultaneously? Why do they do raids without people knowing? And from my understanding, Sean Combs is standing on a tarmac in Miami, about to fly off somewhere.
