1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,120
The Diddy Diaries. In this episode, we're going to pick

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:08,960
up where we left off with that Rolling Stone episode

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:13,720
about Ditty. Rolling Stone has reviewed hundreds of pages of

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:18,239
court documents, transcripts, and multiple lawsuits connected with the Combs case,

6
00:00:18,679 --> 00:00:22,600
in addition to interviewing colmb's former staffers, an ex girlfriend,

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:27,559
and other eyewitnesses. Contrary to colmb's claims, these documents and

8
00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:32,520
accounts pan a picture of a man who remained sexually abusive, volatile,

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:38,000
and wildly manipulative long after the twenty sixteen hotel assault

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,600
that he called his rock bottom and has since deleted

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,039
Instagram apology video. Following Rolling Stone's initial report on Colmbs

12
00:00:45,119 --> 00:00:48,880
that uncovered a pattern of alleged abusive behavior stretching back

13
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,119
to his time in college, more than a dozen new accusers,

14
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,359
several speaking publicly for the first time, have come forward

15
00:00:55,399 --> 00:00:59,159
with claims at Colmbs physically attacked, drugged, and or sexually

16
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,960
assaulted them between twenty sixteen and twenty twenty four. Some

17
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,439
of these interviews appear in the Fall of Ditty, a

18
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,799
two night docuseries made in partnership with Rolling Stone Films.

19
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,879
That premiered this week on ID and MAX. When I

20
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,640
watched that apology video, I knew that he was lying

21
00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:19,319
because I knew what I experienced In twenty twenty one,

22
00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:23,280
five years later, actress and model Kat Passion says in

23
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,439
the documentary. In a harrowing account, passy On alleges Calms

24
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:30,920
had a non consensual sexual encounter with her. I've decided

25
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,000
to speak my truth and take my power back. This

26
00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:36,959
man is sick, she says. And I'm sure that there's

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,480
a lot more people like this, because unfortunately, we're dealing

28
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,079
with a prolific predator here, if all these allegations are true.

29
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,120
And when I say a prolific predator I'm talking about

30
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,760
in the same stratosphere as Epstein. Right, We're talking about

31
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,680
a lot of victims here, and who knows how many

32
00:01:54,719 --> 00:01:58,519
more have not come forward or tragically might have passed away.

33
00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:00,760
You know, a lot can happen over the years, right,

34
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:03,000
But it seems like each and every tale that we

35
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:07,239
get is more horrifying than the next. In response to

36
00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:10,319
Rolling Stones detailed requests for comment on a list of

37
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,680
questions and allegations for this article, Colmbs' legal team sent

38
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,360
over a previously issued statement. No matter how many lawsuits

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,840
are filed, it won't change the fact that mister Colmbs

40
00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:24,039
has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone man or woman,

41
00:02:24,159 --> 00:02:27,960
adult or minor. The statement read, Fortunately, a fair and

42
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,840
impartial judicial process exists to separate fact from fiction, and

43
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,960
mister Colmbs is confident that he will prevail in court. Well, well,

44
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,360
well let's see, because so far it doesn't seem like

45
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,919
he's too confident at all. I mean, all he's doing

46
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,639
is attacking the process, right, So if you're out here

47
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,439
attacking the process, attacking the loopholes and technicalities, shows me

48
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,280
that you don't really have anything else to go on.

49
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,159
If you did, you'd bring it to the table. In

50
00:02:56,199 --> 00:02:59,719
November of twenty twenty, Colmbs needed to change of scenery.

51
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,039
Spent the better part of the year hold up at

52
00:03:02,039 --> 00:03:04,759
home due to the COVID nineteen restrictions, and he was

53
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,039
itching to skip town. He wanted a fifty first birthday

54
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:11,960
party in Paradise. He called up his closest celebrity friends,

55
00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:16,280
including Mary J. Blige and French Montana, loaded up his

56
00:03:16,439 --> 00:03:20,080
private jet and headed to the Turks and Caicos. Guess

57
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,240
we're given tide sweatshirts with Ditty fifty one stamped on

58
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,120
the front, and the same logo was engraved on coconut

59
00:03:26,199 --> 00:03:28,719
drinks that people sipped as they partied on the beach.

60
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,199
And if you wonder why people kept quiet, it's because

61
00:03:32,199 --> 00:03:34,280
it was beneficial to them. And when I say people,

62
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,599
I mean the enablers. They were going to these parties,

63
00:03:37,639 --> 00:03:40,400
they were going to these events. Everything was all good, right,

64
00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:44,319
everything was butter. But the reality is these people were

65
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:47,879
looking the other way and avoiding the truth because they

66
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,840
knew they were going to be benefited by hanging out

67
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,439
with Diddy. So what does it matter if some random

68
00:03:52,479 --> 00:03:55,840
girls abused. That's how they feel, and it's sick and

69
00:03:55,879 --> 00:04:00,680
disgusting and it's endemic when it comes to enablers. Off camera,

70
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:03,879
in the background to many videos documenting the trip's festivities

71
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:06,840
was a gaunt and stressed Pines, thirty nine, who is

72
00:04:06,879 --> 00:04:09,719
still reeling from an experience he just had with Combs

73
00:04:10,639 --> 00:04:14,280
a few days prior. According to Pines, a belligerent Combs

74
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,360
at coercedom into sex with a female guest, leaving him

75
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:21,439
stunned and distraught. And we've talked about mister Pines several

76
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:24,560
times here on the podcast already, including yesterday, and there's

77
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:27,439
zero doubt that his story tracks with everything else we've heard.

78
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,560
Since twenty seventeen, Pines had been in colmb's orbit, working

79
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,439
with one of colmb's ancillary businesses before becoming his personal

80
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,199
assistant in December of twenty nineteen. He wanted to be

81
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,199
a music supervisor and jumped at the opportunity to learn

82
00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:46,439
from a man he considered a hero, But after two

83
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,759
years of working closely with Combs, Pines now winces when

84
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,959
he hears his former boss voice on a recording played

85
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,199
for him. He's a predator in all shapes and fashions.

86
00:04:57,319 --> 00:04:59,439
Pine says in the final of The Fall of Ditty,

87
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,040
his first interview since filing a December lawsuit against COLMS

88
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:08,480
citing sexual battery, harassment, and several workplace violations after resigning

89
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,279
in December of twenty twenty one. And I mean that

90
00:05:11,319 --> 00:05:13,600
in a sexually charged way. I mean that in a

91
00:05:13,639 --> 00:05:17,279
manipulation way. He's just out for people. It's always about him.

92
00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:22,199
Representatives for COLMS did not specifically address any of Pine's claims,

93
00:05:22,319 --> 00:05:27,120
referring instead to a previously issued generalized denial regarding Pine's lawsuit,

94
00:05:28,439 --> 00:05:31,560
Pines discovered right from the beginning that working for Colmbs

95
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,920
was all consuming. He needed to be on call twenty

96
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:37,319
four to seven as Combs and senior members of his

97
00:05:37,399 --> 00:05:41,519
team would send them constant directives. Some days it might

98
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,800
be work connected with a product launch, others it was

99
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,959
about a guest coming to one of colms many residences.

100
00:05:48,319 --> 00:05:51,160
A month or so in, Pines says in the documentary,

101
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,959
Colmbs gave him startling a new task, pro Cura's specific

102
00:05:55,199 --> 00:05:58,040
and lengthy list of items for what Colmbs would call

103
00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:02,759
Wild King Knights. Remember, the Wild king Knights were allegedly

104
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,399
even crazier than the White Parties and freak coughs. Organizing

105
00:06:07,439 --> 00:06:11,120
these events would become a weekly and sometimes daily responsibility.

106
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:14,800
Pine says he'd have to make last minute dashes to

107
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:18,399
convenience stores to stock up on baby oil, lube, the

108
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,360
contraceptive Plan B, and mel Libido pills, as well as

109
00:06:22,399 --> 00:06:27,279
obtained candles, alcohol, marijuana, psychedelic mushrooms, and the legal drugs

110
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:31,079
he claims. Pine says he was in charge of managing

111
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,480
Comb's sex toys, including a device known as a power

112
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:37,839
Banger sex machine. What in the ever Living hell A

113
00:06:37,959 --> 00:06:40,959
power Banger sounds like some shit you'd find on the

114
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,519
set of one of these porn movies. Supplies in hand,

115
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:48,240
Pine says he's set up a hotel suite or colmb's

116
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,439
bedroom with the requested items, as well as red lights

117
00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:54,600
and ice buckets. Then he'd wait until the next part

118
00:06:54,639 --> 00:06:59,839
of his job, cleaning up the wreckage. Oh boy, So basically, spoogeboy,

119
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,879
come in with a little mop, little hat and clean

120
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,199
up the mess, the biological mess that's left behind from

121
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:10,199
one of Diddy's wild night parties. Listen to me very clearly, Okay,

122
00:07:10,519 --> 00:07:13,600
there is not enough money in the world to ever

123
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,079
get your boy involved in anything like this. I'd rather

124
00:07:17,279 --> 00:07:20,240
wash dishes at a restaurant, work at McDonald's, you name it.

125
00:07:20,519 --> 00:07:22,519
But there's people out there that, you know, they really

126
00:07:22,519 --> 00:07:25,160
have these dreams of being in the business, in the industry,

127
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,959
and they're willing to go the extra mile because they

128
00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:30,680
believe that that's what they have to do. And that's

129
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,839
because it's normalized around them. So when everybody else is

130
00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:37,120
engaging in that behavior, you think it's normal too, until

131
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,920
it's not right, until it's your turn to be abused.

132
00:07:41,279 --> 00:07:44,160
Pine struggles to describe dealing with the aftermath of what

133
00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:47,839
he refers to in his lawsuits as Day's long sexual escapades.

134
00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:51,519
Not only was the duty in itself demoralizing, he says,

135
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,920
but the rooms he'd walk into were scenes of complete

136
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,279
disgusting squalor. There'd be shattered glass, bodily fluid and bloodstains,

137
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:03,720
use condoms, half eaten food, and drugs out in the open.

138
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:07,120
Pine says you could slip because there was baby oil

139
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,319
all over the floor. He explains in the documentary when

140
00:08:10,319 --> 00:08:13,000
I would go into these rooms, it's like no one

141
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,680
had any consciousness of what took place, meaning that everything

142
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,240
was everywhere. Well, when you're on a drug fueled sex binge,

143
00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:24,120
I'm guessing that shit goes crazy, some stirrups on the ceiling,

144
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:27,279
you know, dancing around like a wild Indian chief, whatever

145
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:30,439
it might be. But I'm sure that Diddy was engaging

146
00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:33,639
in all of it. Pines believes that it was a

147
00:08:33,759 --> 00:08:36,440
test to loyalty. Could he do what he was being

148
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,480
asked of him and not at an eye Its manipulation

149
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:45,080
at its finest, it's grooming, Pines tells Rolling Stone. Over time,

150
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,840
Pine says that he was entrusted to handle more Coomb's

151
00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:52,720
personal indiscretions, including deleting videos of sexual encounters that Colm's

152
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,519
allegedly filmed that would pop up on his electronics. So

153
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,279
if all of this is true, then you have to

154
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:00,000
think that mister Pine's is going to be a witness

155
00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:03,399
for the government. And if it's true, you would have

156
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,799
to think that the Grand Jerry has already heard from him, right,

157
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,039
that would be my guess. Nothing else would make sense.

158
00:09:09,639 --> 00:09:11,559
He has all this stuff to say he was actually

159
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,399
deleting videos and shit, yeah, somebody I'd want to talk

160
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,519
to as a prosecutor. There's been much scrutiny around colmb's

161
00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:20,840
famous White Parties and the other star studed events, but

162
00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:24,679
Pines explains Wild King Knights were much more intimate and private.

163
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,840
It's a small batch of people, he says. He declined

164
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,360
to say who else participated, but said it wasn't people

165
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:34,759
he would consider celebrities. So did he probably had a

166
00:09:34,759 --> 00:09:39,440
whole different group, right, the real nighttime folks, the real

167
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:41,799
people who did He is going to do whatever he's

168
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,639
going to do to So I'm guessing that these wild

169
00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:51,039
Night parties were exactly that Wild Nights. Pine says that

170
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,440
Colmbs had a constant rotation of women and just was

171
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,480
never alone. Pines came to view the steady stream of

172
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:00,240
overnight guests as a sign of his boss. He did

173
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,639
perpetual confirmation that he was the macho, alpha male he

174
00:10:03,759 --> 00:10:07,080
projected in public. My observation was that a woman made

175
00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:09,840
him feel like a man, and always having somebody around

176
00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:11,960
made him feel like that. That was kind of his

177
00:10:12,039 --> 00:10:16,000
insecurity in my experience. Pine's recalls in the series, I

178
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,799
never saw him sleep alone in two years. I think

179
00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:20,639
it was maybe seven to eight times out of you

180
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,080
sleep by himself, And I started to kind of put

181
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,039
it together that there was something wrong, like he needed

182
00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:29,480
somebody with him to make him feel comfortable, and it

183
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,720
was always a guest. Calm's attorney Agnafilo previously argued that

184
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:37,360
while many might consider his client sex life unusual, nothing

185
00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:40,399
about it was illegal. We are not better off if

186
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,799
the federal government comes into our bedrooms, he said. They're

187
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,159
coming into this man's bedroom and they're making not just judgments,

188
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,279
they're charging him with statutes that, as they said, could

189
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,039
put him in jail for the rest of his life. Well,

190
00:10:53,159 --> 00:10:55,919
let's not act like somebody just barged into Diddy's room

191
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,039
caught him in the act and said you're going to jail.

192
00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:01,720
People have come forward and said he abused them. You

193
00:11:01,799 --> 00:11:06,960
forgot that part, Agnifilo. Responding to Agnefilo, Pine says he's

194
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,919
not so sure. Anybody who's interacted with Combs in that setting,

195
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,919
in those relationships needs to be talked to to see

196
00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:17,200
how they truly felt. Pine suggests, I imagine there'll be

197
00:11:17,279 --> 00:11:20,399
tons of people who will respond to that not in

198
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,960
favor of the defense. Pines recalls to incidents in particular

199
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,120
that weighed on him when it came to Colm's treatment

200
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,759
of women, and one Combs allegedly kicked a woman to

201
00:11:30,799 --> 00:11:33,879
the ground outside his Miami home in January of twenty

202
00:11:33,919 --> 00:11:37,320
twenty one. I told you I was crazy, Combs allegedly

203
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,720
told the woman, kicking her in the stomach and demanding

204
00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:44,279
his sweatshirt back. The woman complied, ending up topless. Pine

205
00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:46,639
says he removed his own jacket so the woman could

206
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:50,000
cover herself for her departing uber ride. The woman did

207
00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:53,720
not respond to her request for comment. Another time, Pine

208
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,639
said he drove a woman back to her hotel following

209
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,799
the wild night king with Combs. The woman looks, he says,

210
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,799
I don't know what took place, Pine says in the episode.

211
00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:06,039
All I can say is that when I brought her

212
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,600
down to the car, she was shaking. She was obviously exhausted.

213
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,320
She said something to the effect of, I've never done

214
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,080
anything like this before. All right, we're gonna wrap up

215
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,759
episode two right here, and in the next episode we're

216
00:12:17,759 --> 00:12:20,799
gonna pick up with Pine's himself claims he had an

217
00:12:20,879 --> 00:12:24,120
encounter with Colmbs that would haunt him. All of the
