Hey, I'm Kayla Brantley, reporter at large for the Daily Mail in Manhattan. And I'm Marjorie Hernandez, DailyMail.com's West Coast news editor. And welcome to episode 16 of The Trial of Diddy. So Marjorie, episode 16, I can't believe we've been here for 16 weeks.
What's up? How are you doing? Been quite busy as always. There's something new every day with this case. Always. And cases now that there's even more civil suits to have been filed against Sean Combs. And we'll get into that.
Yeah, so we might as well just get into it now. We have a lot of news to catch up on as well as our guest today.
That's right. We have friend of the pod, Larry Levine, back with us later. Larry's a director and founder of Wall Street Prison Consultants. He spent 10 years in federal custody for narcotics trafficking, securities fraud, racketeering, obstruction of justice, and machine guns. And now he helps prepare people for when they're going into federal prison.
Yeah, so clearly Larry has a lot of inside knowledge on what it's like inside prison, and he also teaches survival skills, and he knows all about life inside. So who better to tell us what Christmas is really going to be like when, like Diddy, you're locked up? That's coming up in a bit, but first, let's catch you up on what's been going on.
At the end of last week, three more men accused Diddy of rape and sexual assault in a string of new lawsuits, which were filed separately in New York Supreme Court on Thursday, December 12th. These events allegedly occurred between 2019 through 22. Now, two of the accusers alleged they went to parties with Diddy, where he, quote, personally offered them alcoholic drinks, which made them unconscious. before they said he raped them. One man says he met Diddy back in 2006 and began working for him. The allegation here is that in February 2020, he met Diddy at a hotel to discuss unpaid wages. And during that meeting, the John Doe alleges Diddy prepared him a drugged drink, which caused him to lose consciousness, only to wake up to find Diddy assaulting him.
Diddy's lawyers immediately dismissed these new lawsuits, suggesting they were, quote, full of lies. And speaking to BBC, Diddy's lawyers went on saying, quote, we will prove them false and seek sanctions against every unethical lawyer who filed fictional claims against him.
There are now over 30 civil cases filed against Diddy, a number of which allege sexual assault dating back over 30 years. The three men have all decided to file their lawsuits anonymously, and they say they're afraid of Diddy's reach and his influence. Diddy is, of course, facing federal criminal charges in sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.
