The biggest secret in the entertainment industry that really wasn't a secret at all has finally been revealed to the world. At the height of his career, Sean Diddy Combs had it all. It seemed like everything Diddy touched turned to gold. Now the once untouchable hip-hop mogul is fighting for his life as he faces multiple federal charges in New York, including sex trafficking and allegedly running a criminal enterprise.

Music mogul and rapper Sean Diddy Combs has faced four different lawsuits in recent weeks alleging sexual assault. Combs can be seen grabbing Ventura and throwing her to the ground. Oh, this guy is dangerous. Another woman has now come forward alleging Combs of sexual assault. She claims she was drugged and sexually assaulted by Combs.

I'm David Patrick-Aricos, and on this week's episode of Apocalypse Now, as Donald Trump heads to Doha, we discuss Qatar, a small state at the center of a world increasingly ridden with faction and conflict. Listen to Apocalypse Now wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey, I'm Marjorie Hernandez, DailyMail.com's West Coast news editor, and welcome to episode 19 of The Trial of Diddy. Kayla's off this week, so I've invited in senior U.S. showbiz reporter at DailyMail.com, James Fatuska, to talk about his work breaking stories like the recent Diddy's Jealous of Luigi Mangione piece, and so much more. But before James joins us, it was revealed this week that UK broadcaster Channel 4 have commissioned a new, quote, in-depth show called Diddy in Plain Sight, which they claim will explore all the alleged crimes. This follows hard on the announcement by Netflix that they too are making a Sean Combs documentary, punningly called Diddy Do It? Very good, Netflix. These two will join other shows about Combs, including HBO's The Fall of Diddy, Peacock's The Making of a Bad Boy, TMZ's The Downfall of Diddy, and the BBC's interestingly named podcast, Diddy on Trial. Looks like everyone's getting into the Diddy business, but just remember who was here first, guys. I feel like I should drop a wink emoji right here, but that's quite hard to convey in words.

Anyhow, as of today, January 22nd, Diddy remains incarcerated in Brooklyn, awaiting a proposed May 5th trial. Though, of course, some of our guests notably died. Attorney David Gellman insists that this trial has no chance at all of starting on that date. But Sean Combs was arrested on September 16, 2024, and indicted on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. Combs, who is facing life in prison if he is found guilty of racketeering, has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and both he and his legal team have repeatedly and strongly asserted his innocence. Now let's welcome this week's guest, senior showbiz reporter at dailymail.com, James Vituska. Hi, James.

What is the current status of Diddy's trial?

James Vituska 3:47
Hi, Marjorie. How are you doing?
Marjorie Hernandez 3:49
Good. Thanks so much for joining us today. Well, first of all, introduce yourself and tell our listeners who you are and what you do there at dailymail.com.
James Vituska 3:58
Yeah, my name is James Vituska, and I'm a senior U.S. showbiz reporter at dailymail.com. I focus on everything involving A-list celebrities. Okay. And I've been doing this for 20 years. I've known actually Marjorie at past outlets. I started Entertainment Tonight, and then I worked at Us Weekly, and then I worked at Radar Online, OK Magazine, Star Magazine, National Enquirer, and InTouch, and then I worked at TMZ before coming to Daily Mail.
Marjorie Hernandez 4:25
James has all of the exclusives all time. Yeah. We're so happy that you're taking the time out to speak to us today. Well, actually, we're here to talk about some of the exclusives you've broken here at DailyMail.com. And one of the ones that went absolutely viral was the one titled Jealous Diddy is raging that Luigi Mangione is getting more attention than him in Brooklyn prison.
