What are the allegations against Diddy?

Unidentified 0:01
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.

Who are the hosts of The Trial of Diddy podcast?

Marjorie Hernandez 0:14
Welcome to the Trial of Diddy podcast. I'm Marjorie Hernandez. And I'm Kayla Brantley. We'll be back in a second.
David Patrick Caracos (Promo Speaker) 0:32
If you like this episode, we think you'll love this. I'm David Patrick Caracos, 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.

The biggest secret in the entertainment industry that 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.

What is happening during jury selection for Diddy's trial?

Marjorie Hernandez 1:18
Another woman has now come forward, alleging Combs of sexual assault. Music mogul and rapper Sean Diddy. He claims she was drugged and sexually assaulted by Combs. Oh, this guy is dangerous.
Unidentified 1:30
From freak-offs 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.
Marjorie Hernandez 1:47
This week, we have Kayla in court reporting outside and it's jury selection week in prep for the actual trial, which opening statements will begin on Monday.
Kayla Brantley 1:57
Marjorie, I am currently standing outside the courthouse in lower Manhattan in the rain with my umbrella. So you listeners, you're really getting the real deal over here. And Marjorie, you're in New York this week. Very nice to have you.
Marjorie Hernandez 2:13
So glad to be here for finally, finally the beginning of this trial.
Kayla Brantley 2:18
Yeah, I think there's a few of our guests who betted on this trial not making it to today, not starting today. And Diddy even rejected a plea deal just a few days ago. So this trial is full steam ahead. And both of us were at the courthouse this morning. I was surprised, actually, at... how empty and dead it was. There were a handful of media.

Which celebrities are mentioned in Diddy's trial?

Kayla Brantley 2:40
There was press all lined up, camera crews right outside of the courthouse. But other than that, I thought we would see either fans or maybe ditty protesters. Usually high-profile trials like this really attract a crowd.
Marjorie Hernandez 2:53
I'm wondering if it's because of the rain or more people are planning to possibly go right at the start of trial for opening statements. I think there will be probably more of a crowd of public in general next week.
Kayla Brantley 3:07
Yeah, I think that actually might be the case, too, because, you know, jury selection is typically pretty boring. It's a whole bunch of jurors sitting there getting asked questions. Do you know about this trial? What do you know? Can you be impartial? So really, the drama happens. What everyone really wants to know about starts next week on Monday.
Marjorie Hernandez 3:26
Well, typically it is boring if you're actually sitting waiting in the courtroom, waiting for your number to be called. However, we have reporter Dan Bates actually sitting inside and watching this all unfold. And some actually pretty interesting points came up from the actual potential jurors. So they're given a questionnaire which says, how do you feel about if you hear anything about intimate partner abuse or rape? Do you know these celebrities on this potential witness list? And one of the potential jurors said that, oh, yeah, I actually recognize this name, Mike Myers, who is, as everybody knows, Wayne's World. He's a big actor. Austin Powers. Austin Powers.
Kayla Brantley 4:08
Austin Powers. That's how I know Mike Myers the best.

How do potential conflicts of interest affect jury selection?

Marjorie Hernandez 4:10
So it was interesting. I'm trying to connect Mike Myers and Diddy. So it will be interesting to see who else is on this list. Right now, we do know that, again, Mike Myers and Michael B. Jordan, possibly also on this list, and Kid Cudi.
Kayla Brantley 4:25
Oh, wow. Michael B. Jordan's having a big moment right now. His movie Sinners just came out. That's number one at the box office, in the news. Everyone's so into it. This is a surprise to me to hear that Michael B. Jordan's name is brought up at all. Of course, just because his name is brought up doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean he had anything to do with anything.
