Full Episode
BBC Sounds, music, radio, podcasts. Hello and welcome back to Diddy on Trial from BBC Sounds with me, Anushka Matandadauti. Every week, we're here keeping you up to date on the latest developments in the upcoming Diddy trial. Reminder, Diddy has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering with conspiracy and transportation for prostitution. He denies all the charges.
He's entered a not guilty plea and says he never sexually assaulted anyone, man or woman, adult or minor. In today's episode, the woman known as Diddy's right-hand woman, Christina Coram, or KK, has responded to the multiple allegations against her. She says, I've never condoned or aided and abetted the sexual assault of anyone, nor have I ever drugged anyone.
And Tony Busby, the Texan lawyer who claimed to have over 150 cases against Diddy, withdraws from 15 cases in the Southern District of New York. Helping me unpack this all today is our resident criminal defense attorney, Sean Kent. Hi, Sean. Hey, guys. How are y'all doing? And Rolling Stone's senior investigative reporter, Cheyenne Roundtree. Hi, Cheyenne. Hi. Good morning.
So first of all, this is the first time we've spoken about Christina Coram on the podcast. If you're deep in the Diddy world, you've probably seen her name crop up a few times. If you were following him on social media beforehand, you would have seen that he's posted about her before. She was his chief of staff. Cheyenne, what does that actually mean? Because it's sounding very presidential.
I mean, it kind of was, you know, Diddy has multiple businesses and she kind of oversaw the inner workings of his personal life and his business life. So she was, when we say number two at the company of, you know, Diddy, that was KK. And he's spoken about her before. He's called her his soul sister. Yeah, they were really, really close. I mean, she's worked with him for since 2013.
And she says now that she's left, she says former boss in her statement. But they were very, very close. They spent a lot of time together.
And we've got posts from him on Facebook in 2021 saying she's been, she as in Christina Coram, has been my right hand for the past eight years. Don't know how I'd function without her. So they're close personally. And then on the business side of things as well. What do we know about her since these allegations have come out? You mentioned that she's referred to him as her former boss.
What else do we know?
Yeah. So since KK has been kind of roped into this because she was Diddy's right hand woman, she's kind of not been really seen too much. I mean, there was pictures of Diddy the day that he after he settled Cassie's lawsuit. The pictures of him are outside his Miami house. He's looking really stressed. And there's a woman there in a robe next to him. That's KK.
