And welcome back to episode 20-0 of The Trial of Diddy. I cannot believe we are five months into this story and it just does not let up. Just this week, we've seen the release of Investigation Discovery's The Fall of Diddy documentary, and there were some major allegations in there. including actor Kat Passione claiming she had a non-consensual sexual encounter with Combs in 2021.
Diddy 2:24
That's right. And there's also an interview with Thalia Graves, who back in September 2024 filed a lawsuit which alleged that Sean Combs drug bound and violently raped her.

Who are the key witnesses in the Diddy case?

Diddy 2:35
at a bad boy studios back in 1999 she went on to claim did he distributed a video of the attack even quote selling it as pornography marge ever since this came out i know you've been watching it non-stop so as someone who studied this case and talked to so many people connected to it what did you think Yes, Kayla, the documentary was very interesting. And two of the interviews that stood out to me was one with Phil Pines, who was Combs' personal assistant. And he also has sued Diddy for sexual battery, sexual harassment, and he had other claims as well. And the other was model and actress Kat Passione, who had a relationship shortly after Kim Porter's death back in 2018. And she claimed that Diddy also sexually assaulted her.
Diddy 3:22
Now, according to Kat, Diddy forced himself onto her while he was under the influence of what she said was a recreational drug called Tusi, which was actually mentioned in Combs' indictment. Now, Tusi is also known as pink cocaine, which is obviously a type of psychedelic. Kat was very emotional, but she didn't get into specific details of what Diddy allegedly did to her. But she said it was, quote, wasn't consensual. She also claimed that after that incident, weeks later, Diddy threatened her to get deported to Canada, where she's from. And so she also detailed these experiences in her journal and called Diddy, quote, a demon. And the other one that I thought that was interesting was Phil Pines.

What evidence has been presented against Diddy?

Diddy 4:10
In his interview, he also got very emotional and he broke down in tears. Now he was Combs' senior executive assistant from 2019 to 2021. And he actually had a cache of evidence, mostly voice recordings and text messages from Diddy and his former chief of staff, Christina Karam. And in these text messages, Karam and Diddy would tell Pines what Diddy would need for his, quote, wild king knights parties. So that's what he would call those those big parties. But Pines said he didn't know them as freak offs, which is what the federal prosecutors had called them.
Kayla Brantley 4:49
A lot of these allegations, like the two things that you said just really stood out for you. It sounds like everything that we've already heard before. So was there anything in this documentary that while it's new information, was there anything that was shocking that, you know, maybe seemed kind of left field?
