1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the Diddy Diaries. 2 00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:05,280 In this episode, we're going to pick up where we 3 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,080 left off with the lawsuit filed by Sarah Rivers against Ditty. 4 00:00:09,759 --> 00:00:12,839 Once plaintiff and the group members complied with Defending Ditty's 5 00:00:12,839 --> 00:00:16,239 continuous outrageous demands, they were finally allowed to move into 6 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,160 the house. Defendant Ditty and You mainly evaluated Plaintiff's body 7 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,519 and appearance, then mocked her about Bolimia in front of 8 00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:28,559 several employees of defendants MTV, BMBB, and the entire world 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,600 watching MTB two, Defendant Ditty made comments directed at plaintiff 10 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,560 about the album and tour process, saying the process would 11 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,520 have people losing weight and getting divorces. Plaintiff believes Defending 12 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,399 Ditty directed these comments at her because he had so 13 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,759 aggressively evaluated her physical appearance previously, and because plaintiff was 14 00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:51,280 the only member of the group who was married. Defendant 15 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,560 BM and MTV subjected plaintiff and other participants to hectic 16 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,039 work conditions and force physical labor, which caused one individual 17 00:00:59,079 --> 00:01:02,719 to be hospitalized in season one, which was televised, and 18 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,799 another individual to be hospitalized in season two.

Defendant Ditty would appear at all hours randomly, 24 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,040 and Plaintiff would be expected to do whatever he requested. 25 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,920 The only time any schedule was provided was by defendant Allison, 26 00:01:34,239 --> 00:01:38,120 but it was for things like workouts with defendant Chris 27 00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:42,959 or appointments at defendant BB's offices. Due to the unpredictability 28 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,680 of the schedule, constant on call nature of working for 29 00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:50,359 Defendant Ditty, and unreasonable working conditions, Plaintiff's body and voice 30 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:56,480 experience significant strain and stress. Defendants BM and MTV always 31 00:01:56,519 --> 00:01:58,719 had the cameras rolling unless Ditty told him not to. 32 00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:02,640 Plaintiff was objected to being filmed twenty four to seven 33 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,920 with no privacy and four no compensation.

In addition to having to film ten to 43 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,120 thirteen episode seasons of MTB two, plaintiff also had to 44 00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:49,199 complete an album with her group, which normally takes one 45 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,080 year to complete. With the one month time of filming. 46 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,159 While already having the clock work against them, Defendant Diddy 47 00:02:56,319 --> 00:02:58,879 would punish the group by shutting down the studio when 48 00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:01,879 group members would fight, giving plaintiff in the group even 49 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,080 less time than already provided. Plaintiff was forced to endure 50 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,400 in humane work conditions like having to participate in as 51 00:03:09,439 --> 00:03:11,960 many as one hundred interviews in a single day to 52 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,120 promote the group's debut album to out for TV. Plaintiff 53 00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:18,840 had no decision in the scheduling of interviews and had 54 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,599 no room to decline.

Despite the variances 59 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,599 in payment for their performances, Defending Ditty only paid Plaintiff 60 00:03:42,719 --> 00:03:45,960 and her group members a flat five thousand per show 61 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,159 per person.

While recording 75 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,519 the group's second album, Plaintiff found it harder than the 76 00:04:42,519 --> 00:04:45,879 first time around, as her group members punished her because 77 00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:49,279 of disagreements the group was having with plaintiff spouse. As 78 00:04:49,319 --> 00:04:52,120 a result of the rift, Plaintiff only recorded a hook 79 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,839 on one song on the group sophomore album that was 80 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,120 never released.

Plaintiff never heard from 92 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:46,240 defendants BM, MTV, or BB after that day, Plaintiff's legitimate 93 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,240 concerns go ignored.

One such issue was group members 102 00:06:23,639 --> 00:06:26,439 were allowed to smoke both weed and cigarettes inside their 103 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,199 residence and recording studio in extreme close proximity to plaintiff. 104 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,920 Group members were allowed to smoke both weed and cigarettes 105 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,439 during working hours on business property, despite plaintiff's constant complaints 106 00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:41,480 about how the smoke affected her health and well being, 107 00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:43,959 and despite the fact that weed was illegal at the time. 108 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,399 All five of the group members smoked either weed or cigarettes, 109 00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:52,279 though plaintiff got no reprieve from the constant smoking while 110 00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:54,560 plaintiff was in the studio with the group, it would 111 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,759 become consumed with so much smoke plaintiff would have to 112 00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:01,240 exit for fresh air.

However, when plaintiff and the group joined 115 00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:12,399 Defendan Ditty for her hosting in DC, Defendan Ditty made 116 00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:15,160 the members of the group who were smoking exited the 117 00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:18,120 tor bus and forced them to ride on another tour bus. 118 00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:21,040 When Defending Ditty did not want to smoke around them, 119 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,480 he addressed the issue immediately. When plaintiff did not want 120 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,560 to smoke around her, she was mocked by Defendant Ditty 121 00:07:27,839 --> 00:07:31,560 and told womp womp.

Plaintiff's grievances went ignored, unheard, and at 125 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,800 times she was mocked by defendant Ditty, who told her 126 00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:49,319 she needed to toughen up because she dared to air 127 00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:54,000 such grievances Due to defendants on reasonable demands and expectations. 128 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,120 Plaintiff was forced to be an alcoholic to not draw 129 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,759 the ire and the wrath of defendant Ditty, causing her 130 00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:04,160 sae vere physical and mental harm. Plaintiff attempted to address 131 00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:08,120 other grievances to defend in bm MTV bbe Phil Ditty 132 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,839 and Farnsworth about group members being disrespectful to her spouse 133 00:08:12,199 --> 00:08:14,120 when he called or he came to the house to visit. 134 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,680 These grievances when ignored and unhurt as well, Defending Ditty 135 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,639 prevents plaintiff from having a career in music. Defending Ditty 136 00:08:23,759 --> 00:08:27,759 further interfered with Plaintiff's music career for several years. After 137 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,920 he dismantled Plaintiff's group, the Band, Plaintiff had meetings with 138 00:08:31,959 --> 00:08:35,360 several record labels and producers, which all started off well 139 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,519 but then never materialized. After the initial meeting, Plaintiff had 140 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,600 an offer for a record deal with Capitol Records. Plaintiff 141 00:08:42,639 --> 00:08:46,080 was told Defending Ditty interfered and personally called executives at 142 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,080 the label telling them not to sign plaintiff. Plaintiff had 143 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,799 an opportunity to sign a record deal with Electro Records 144 00:08:53,159 --> 00:08:56,480 the executive who extended the deal told plaintiff that she 145 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,559 needed to make a phone call before formally offering plaintiff 146 00:08:59,639 --> 00:09:02,840 the deal. After that call, Plaintiff was told that Electra 147 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,559 would have to pass on plaintiff. Plaintiff, upon information and belief, 148 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,759 believes it was defendant Ditty who told the executive not 149 00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:14,279 to sign Plaintiff to Electra. Plaintiff had another opportunity with 150 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,440 Empire Records. The initial meeting went great, like all the 151 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,600 other meetings with record labels before. About a week after 152 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,519 the initial meeting, the executive from Empire stated that they 153 00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:27,440 cannot move forward with plaintiff because the label was in 154 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,799 the process of signing Defending Ditty's son, King Colmes, to 155 00:09:30,879 --> 00:09:33,480 a record deal and Defending Ditty did not want his 156 00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:37,960 son on the same label as plaintiff. Defending Ditty's son, 157 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,559 King Coombs, subsequently did sign the deal with Empire Records. 158 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,320 Plaintiff had several meetings with producers and music industry executives 159 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,399 in California, but all of those meetings ended after Defending 160 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,279 Ditty called them and told them to stop working with plaintiff. 161 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,759 Defendant Shawn told plaintiff and the group right before Defending 162 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,440 Ditty dismantled the group that they should get music out 163 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,159 of their assistance because no one would go against Defendan 164 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,879 Ditty for them, and truer words had never been spoken. 165 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:12,080 Defending Ditty sexually harasses, assaults, and falsely imprisoned plaintiff. During 166 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,879 filming of MTB two, Defendan Ditty took the group on 167 00:10:14,919 --> 00:10:18,320 a hosting he had in DC. During this trip, Defending 168 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,039 Ditty made a cocktail for plaintiff, but drank from the 169 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,200 cocktail first before giving it to plaintiff. Plaintiff did not 170 00:10:25,279 --> 00:10:28,279 drink the cocktail. Defending Ditty made drank from the first 171 00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:32,200 and gave her Defendan Ditty proceeded to stare down plaintiff 172 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,120 for several minutes, seemingly observing if she would drink the cocktail. 173 00:10:36,639 --> 00:10:39,720 Plaintiff felt Defendan Ditty was trying to intimidate her into 174 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,559 drinking the drink, so she eventually stopped looking in his direction. 175 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,279 Shortly thereafter, Defendan Ditty leaves the main area of the 176 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,039 tour bus to retreat into his bedroom, where he slams 177 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,159 the door. Plaintiff believes he did this in frustration because 178 00:10:54,159 --> 00:10:56,600 she would not drink from the cocktail he provided to her. 179 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,600 Defendant Ditty would complain that the group members live and 180 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,919 initiative because they did not come to the studio Defendant 181 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,039 Daddy's house to record. Plaintiff, attempting to heed the advice, 182 00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:11,759 went on her own to the studio to record. Plaintiff 183 00:11:11,799 --> 00:11:14,519 went on her own because the group had ostracized her 184 00:11:14,639 --> 00:11:18,080 and refused to work with her. While plaintiff was walking 185 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,039 down the hallway approaching Studio A, a lounge room that 186 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,399 was used in filming MTB two, Defending Diddy burst out 187 00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:27,639 the door near the door to studio as a cubby 188 00:11:27,639 --> 00:11:30,960 hole in a corner near the door, Plaintiff believes, Defending 189 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,440 Ditty start walking through the hallways via security camera, Defending 190 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,480 Diddy backs Plaintiff up against the corner and puts his 191 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,519 right arm up to block plaintiff from moving. Defending Diddy 192 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,559 then comes close enough to Plaintiff's face where he could 193 00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:48,320 kiss her and asks her in a low sensual voice, 194 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,679 how she's doing, if she's okay, and if she needed 195 00:11:51,799 --> 00:11:55,240 anything at all. While asking plaintiff if she needed anything, 196 00:11:55,279 --> 00:11:57,919 Defending Diddy us his left hand to adjust the collar 197 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,519 of her jacket, then ran his left hand across her 198 00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:03,879 breast while repeating the phrase if she needs anything, to 199 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,639 let him know. Plaintiff thought about trying to make a 200 00:12:06,639 --> 00:12:10,360 getaway under defendan Ditty's right arm, but was frozen in 201 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:15,639 confusion and fear. Defending Ditty, realizing plaintiff is uncomfortable and 202 00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:18,720 not consenting to his actions, removes his right arm that 203 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,039 was precluding plaintiff's movement. Defending Diddy then went back inside 204 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,120 studio a. Plaintiff walked as fast as she could away 205 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,279 from defending Didty and out the studio. Plaintiff left so 206 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,279 quickly in shock and disbelief that he assaulted her at 207 00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:38,279 the studio that she never recorded music that day. Plaintiff 208 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,720 was extremely upset that defending Didty assaulted her. Plaintiff has 209 00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:45,159 had to seek extense of therapy to deal with from 210 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,120 the turmoil inflicted from her experiences with defending Ditty and 211 00:12:49,399 --> 00:12:52,440 MTB two.
