From this documentary, you see a lot of people speaking out about the alleged abuse that they experienced. from Diddy, but nowhere in that documentary did you see anyone coming to his defense, anyone on Diddy's side, no one really defending him.

We have so much more coming up, but for now, let's pause for a break.

Welcome back to The Trial of Diddy. Let's get into these brand new rulings from Judge Aaron Sabermanian. On Thursday, the trial judge, Judge Aaron Sabermanian, actually ruled to leave the protective order regarding the sex tapes and therefore denied Diddy's request for access.

If you guys remember, Diddy's lawyers were basically saying that these tapes would absolve him of any wrongdoing and show the world that this was, quote, private sexual activity between himself and Cassie Ventura.

And what was striking in that letter from Diddy's team is that they said, quote, any fair minded viewer of the videos will quickly conclude that the prosecution of Mr. Combs is both sexist and puritanical. And they said it's sexist because the government's theory perpetuates stereotypes of female victimhood and lack of agency. So that was a few weeks ago. Now we have a ruling from the judge.

He's completely denied Diddy's request. And I'll read part of that ruling. So it was a memorandum, a letter motion as to Sean Combs. And I'll just read a little part of it. It says, quote, defendant's motion to amend the protective order is denied without prejudice.

While the government objects to handing the videos over, they provide several options for defendant to consider that would permit the defense to view the videos, access the information they're looking for, and even allow them to manipulate the videos as they see fit. To the extent these options are insufficient, the defense may propose other options to the government.

It doesn't appear that the defense did this before raising the issue with the court. Also, the judge ruled that Diddy and his team can't share the contents of the videos or whatever they have access to with anyone. So these videos, the judge is saying they absolutely cannot be shared. Like, they're sex tapes. They should not be shared with anyone.

Of course, if they're not two consenting adults who want it to be shared, which I highly doubt Cassie Ventura wants these tapes out there. I will read part of the letter from the judge. It says, quote, the party should have these discussions. And then if they really reach an impasse, the defense can come back to the court.

If that happens, they should be prepared to clearly articulate why they need possession of the videos, despite the options furnished by the government. So the judge is giving them options. They're saying, look, if you can't come to an agreement, the defense can come back to the court and they can argue their case, articulate why they need possession of these videos.

But for now, the judge is not having it. So obviously, there's a lot of legal jargon in these memorandums. And I think next week would be great to have one of our legal friends come on and discuss what's going on here. It is pretty straightforward, but, you know, we always love to have one of our friends of the show on and give their legal expertise. So for now, that's it.
