Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of The
Diddy Diaries. In this episode, we're going to dive right
back into the Sarah Rivers lawsuit that was filed against
Ditty unjustin Richmond of defendants by breach of contract and
or copyright infringement. As a member of the band, Plaintiff
has composed and performed on over eight songs on the
album Too Out for TV and two songs used as
theme songs for season two and season three of MTB two.
Despite being the original composer on these works, Plaintiff has
no knowledge nor has ever received any composition rights or
credits to those works. Defendant Diddy Bbe, Janis, JCP and
JCPAH have failed to account to or pay Plaintiff for
her compositions and her performances, have breach contracts and infringed
on her copyrights, all of which has unjustly enriched defendants.
As a member of the band, Plaintiff has composed performed
one song on the bad Boy Too soundtrack. Despite being
the original composer on the works, Plaintiff has no knowledge
nor has received any composition rights or credits to those works.
Defendants Diddy Bbe Janets, JCP and JCPH have failed to
account to or pay Plaintiff for her compositions and performance
on the soundtrack, have breach contracts and infringed on her copyrights,
all of which has unjustly enriched defendants. Plaintiff believes that
she was fraudulently induced to sign over her copyright ownership
to defendant Janis, JCP and JCPH so that Defendant Ditty
could control its assignment to others, including himself. As a
result of the acts and conduct complained of herein, Plaintiff
has suffered and will continue to suffer the loss of income, wages, benefits, royalties,
pro emotional fees, touring fees, and other compensation. Plaintiff has
also suffered, among other things, future losses, emotional pain, suffering inconvenience,
loss of enjoyment of life, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety disorder, insomnia,
panic atte acts and other losses entitling her to an
award of compensatory and punitive damages, injunctive and declaratory relief,
attorney fees and costs, and other remedies as this Court
may deem appropriate first cause of action conduct and participate
in a reco enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity,
a violation of Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act codified
at US Code eighteen, Section nineteen sixty two A C
and D against all defendants. Plaintiff incorporates by reference all
preceding paragraphs and realegism as if set forth fully herein,
Defendants Rico Orchestrators are one hundred percent liable for the
actions of Defendant Ditty. Defendants financially benefited through their partnership
with Defendant Ditty. The Rico Orchestrators provided Defendant Ditty with
unfedered access to resources and failed to adequately investigate, supervise,
or monitor how those resources were being used, who was
using those resources, and the purpose of use of those resources.
The support provided by the Reco Orchestrators to defending Ditty
was a lifeline that spearheaded and maintained the defendant Ditty's
depraved actions. Upon information and belief, the establishment of a
business relationship with prominent businesses including Paramount, Viacom, MTV, UMGBM, King,
and Does allowed for a distribution platform for all Defendant
Ditty's business endeavors to disguise his true intentions with overly
broad and vague in nature description of his activities. Defendants
knew or should have known that defendant Ditty had no
intention to utilize the resources he received for business related purposes,
and they did not put any mechanism in place to
ensure that their resources, specifically their network, platform and publication,
were not being used for any illegal activity. Defendant's wilful
blindness resulted in plaintiffs suffering the harm detailed here in
Individuals and entities within the meaning of person as defined
in US Code eighteen, section nineteen sixty one three, because
each is capable of holding and does hold, a legal
and beneficial interest in the property. The Rico Orchestrators' Association
was composed of defendants Diddy, Bbe, Harvey, Tracy Allison, Chris, Divine, Norma, Fonnsworth,
do Fat, Mickey, D Dot, Jason, Phil Sean, Daddy's House,
umg UMG Distribution, Janis, JCP, jcph SJC, Paramount, VIACOM, MTV, Jackie, Lou,
BM King, and Dose. In the relevant part. US Code

B Any Act, which is indictable under any of the

from a pattern of racketeering activity, or through a collection
of an unlawful debt in which such person has participated,
as a principle within the meaning of section two Title
eighteen US Code, to use or invest directly or indirectly
any part of such income, or through the proceeds of
such income, in the acquisition of any interest in, or
the establishment or operation of any enterprise which is engaged
in or the activities of which affect interstate or foreign commerce.
US Code eighteen, Section nineteen sixty two A. Section nineteen
sixty two C makes it unlawful for any person employed by,
or associated with an enterprise engaged in or the activities
of which effect interstate or foreign commerce, to conduct or
participate directly or indirectly in the conduct of such enterprise
affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity. US Code eighteen,
Section nineteen sixty two C. Section nineteen sixty two D
makes it unlawful for any person to conspire to violate
Section nineteen sixty two A and C, among other provisions
US Code eighteen, section nineteen sixty two. D. Defendants mentioned
here in are associated with each other as an enterprise
with a meaning of enterprise is defined in US Code eighteen,
section nineteen sixty one. Four. Plaintiff, in its pleading, has
detailed acts by defendants which are prohibited under US Code eighteen,
section nineteen sixty two. Defendants have unlawfully increased their profits
by luring and deceiving individuals such as plaintiff, under false
pretenses for defendants personal desires, deviances, and gain the reco
enterprise activities affected. Interstate commerce is comprised of an association
of persons, including each defendant and other unnamed co conspirators.
Here in. The association was structured by various agreements, deals, contracts,
and non contractual relationships between the defendants, by which defendants
assume different roles and knowingly and directly or indirectly participating
in the acts necessary to carry out the directives of
the enterprise as detailed here in. Plaintiff was a contestant
on the television program M two B two. Defendant MTV
and BM created the show with defendant lou Plaintiff participated
as a contestant and group member for three seasons of
MTB two from two thousand and two to two thousand
and four, Plaintiff was signed as a music artist to
defendant BBE and Bad Boy Records. While a music artist
on defendant BBE, Plaintiff made one studio album and appeared
on a Blockbuster movie soundtrack. While a music artist on
defendant BBE, Plaintiff was required to sign over her publishing
to defendants Janis, JCP and JCPH. While an employee for
defending MTV, BMBBE, n UMG, Plaintiff was forced to work
in extreme and hostile conditions. While an employee for defendant didty, MTV, BMBB,
and UMG, Plaintiff was forced to sign contracts without the
opportunity to review them or have them reviewed by a professional.
While an employee for defendant Ditty, MTV, BMBB, and UMG,
Plaintiff was forced to endure harassment and sexual harassment from
defendant Ditty. While an employee for defendant didty, MTV, BMBB,
n UMG, Plaintiff was not provided adequate accounting for the
television show MTB two and the album sales for the
albums Too Hot for TV and The Bad Boys two soundtrack.
Plaintiff was induced to compete for a position in a
group founded by defendant Ditty to be aired on defendant
MTV's network for the purpose of furthering the defendant's reco enterprise.
Defendants all share a common purpose to use deception, coercion, force,
and the threat of violence to enrich themselves at the
expense of individuals like plaintiff, as set forth here in.
Although all defendants may not have directly threatened, cours forced,
or violently threatened Plaintiff, they financially benefited from the scheme.
It's reasonable to believe defendants would not have engaged in
these acts of threats but for the existence of the
Rico's scheme and their understanding that they would have unfedered
access to engage in their illegal and corrupt enterprise without question.
As evidenced in, Plaintiffs can plaint here in, Defendants all orchestrated, participated, managed,
and executed the RICO enterprise. Defendants BM and MTV transported victims,
including plaintiff, on commercial airlines to New York City to
be participants in the television show MTB two with defendant Ditty.
The Rico Enterprise is functioned as a continuing unit and
maintains an ascertainable structure separate and distinct from the pattern
of racketeering activity. This jurisdiction has criminally accused defendant Ditty
of engaging in racketeering, and both cases have similar fact
patterns and descriptions of racketeering activities. Defendants disseminated their concealed
schemes to plaintiff in Michigan and other globally though defendant
MTV Television Network. Defendants disseminated their concealed scheme to plaintiff
in Michigan and others globally through defendant King's publication. Defendants
bb MTV and BM provided a venue in which to
carry out activities to further the Rico Enterprise. The true
nature of defendants enterprise was left undisclosed, was omitted, and
or affirmatively misrepresented, all to fraudulently increased defendant profits, at
least some of which were used to expand the enterprise,
causing the further injury to plaintiff and possibly many others.
All Right, we're going to wrap up this episode right here,
and in the next episode we're going to pick up
with upon information and belief, defendants profited from the enterprise.
