What are the allegations against Sean 'P.Diddy' Combs?
Seriously popular. The following episode explores a number of allegations regarding the artist Diddy. He denies all charges and has pled not guilty to sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Welcome to The Trial of Diddy. I'm Kayla Brantley.
And I'm Germania Rodriguez-Poleo.
What happened during the first day of the trial?
We'll be back in a second. So, Hermania, the day is finally here. We've been waiting nine months for this trial to start, and I feel like it's not an exaggeration to say that it's really one of the most anticipated entertainment cases in recent history. That's right.
That's right, Kayla. And today we heard the shocking case against him outlined for the very first time. We're going to hear how the rapper, with the help of his trusted inner circle, was allegedly allowed to commit and get away with a string of serious sex and violent crimes for more than 20 years.
We'll hear how it's claimed he physically assaulted and sexually exploited multiple women, including his girlfriend Cassie Ventura and another woman known only as Jane.
How the women were forced to take drugs and have sex with male prostitutes in secret sex sessions, which he called freak-offs that he filmed for his own sexual gratification.
How he allegedly called himself the king and expected his staff to cater to his every desire.
And when they failed to meet his impossible demands, he allegedly attacked them, sexually assaulted them, and made them take drugs. Welcome to The King on Trial.
The biggest secret in the entertainment industry... It really wasn't a secret at all.
At the height of his career, Sean Diddy Combs had it all. Everything Diddy touched turned to gold. Now he faces multiple federal charges in New York, including sex trafficking and allegedly running a criminal enterprise.
Another woman has now come forward, alleging Combs of sexual assault. Music mogul and rapper Sean D. She claims she was drugged and sexually assaulted by Combs. Oh, this guy is dangerous.
From free golfs to the mysterious list, the shocking case that has gripped the world is finally here. And we'll be bringing you every detail as it happens. Welcome to the Trial of Diddy. So as we said before, this day has been very much anticipated. And thanks to everyone, thanks to all our listeners who've been following this podcast up to this point, because at times there were doubts that this trial would even take place. But today, it finally all began. And people started lining up outside the Manhattan federal court in New York, where the trial is being held as early as yesterday afternoon. And by this morning, there was a huge crowd, around 150 members of the public, waiting outside for a chance to get a front row seat at the most important show of Diddy's career. Our reporter Marjorie Hernandez has been there all day for us. So let's hear for her on the vibe down at the courthouse.
Hi guys, this is Marjorie Hernandez, West Coast News Editor from BaylorNail.com. I'm standing here in front of the Manhattan State Hall Court Building where Diddy's trial is about to begin. As you can see, there's tons of excitement outside, scores of media, and also just curious onlookers who actually, and some of them actually do want to go inside the courtroom and actually get a glimpse or a chance to see Diddy himself. Now, Diddy is facing some very serious charges. And you can see today his family members actually came in full force. His mom, Janice, was there.
Who attended the trial at the Manhattan federal court?
His sons, Justin, King, and Quincy were there as well as his three daughters. And all of them were in full force. We're expecting to hear from Cassie this whole week. Hopefully she will come up and be one of the first few witnesses, take the stand. But again, just the general atmosphere here in court, there's a lot of excitement. Also, people are wondering who will be called today on the stand and if there will be some A-list celebrities who will be called to testify. So we shall see as this week progresses who they actually will call.
And I just want to remind all of our listeners that Diddy is charged with five serious federal charges. It's two counts of sex trafficking, two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution, and one count of racketeering, all of which he denies. If Diddy is found guilty, he will go to prison for the rest of his life.
