Well, Eddie gets another phone call, and this time it's Christina saying that there's somebody on the line that wants to talk to him. It's Diddy. Eddie said that he immediately recognized his voice. He'd heard his voice through the media over the years and that Diddy sounded nervous. He was talking really fast. He kept saying that he had had too much to drink on that day.

And he said, you know how things happen with women sometimes. And he said that one thing led to another. And he asked if Eddie would provide him the video. And Eddie apologized. And he said, look, I wish I could, but you're going to have to reach out to management. So at this point, it sounds like Eddie is really doing the right thing. He's like, I can't help you.

Eddie sent an email to the general manager and the director of security because it was Diddy. And he wanted them to know what was going on. So the prosecution, they entered this email into evidence. He wrote that he told Diddy that they take everyone's privacy really seriously who stays at the hotel. But that Diddy still wanted to talk to Eddie's bosses.

No. So Eddie keeps getting phone calls on his cell phone. And the calls are always from Christina, even though Eddie actually says he never gave her his cell phone number. So he doesn't even know, you know, how she's tracking him down. And he said that, you know, he was really nervous about getting these phone calls and that she passed the phone over to Diddy.

And he said that Eddie sounded like a good guy, sounded like he wanted to help, and that this video could ruin his life. And Eddie says that Diddy just kept repeating, you know, Eddie, you can really help me by getting this footage.

Well, so Eddie testified that when he reached out to his boss, the director of security at the Intercontinental Hotel, and told him... Okay, listen, like Diddy keeps reaching out and now he's offering to pay for this video. His boss then responds that he would do it for $50,000. And Eddie says that he understood that to mean $50,000.

And so he called back the same number that had continued to call him, and that was Christina's number. And she hands the phone to Diddy, and he goes, look, I talked to my boss, and he's willing to do this for $50,000. And he says that Diddy sounded excited, referred to him as his angel. And said, look, I knew you could help. What happens then? Well, it's like something out of a movie.

His boss goes into this like security hub at the hotel. It's like a server room. Imagine that. And when he comes out of the room, he hands Eddie a black USB drive and says, it's done. So now there's going to be a money handoff? Yeah.

So Eddie says that he drove with that USB stick that had the video on it over to where Diddy was and that this bodyguard came over to him and said to him, look, man, you're doing the right thing. And that then he brought him over to Diddy and that Diddy was smiling and he seemed really excited, calls him an angel again. And Eddie says, look, I was really nervous, man. My voice was cracking.
