1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of The

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,080
Diddy Diaries. In this episode, we're getting right back to

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:10,160
that Rolling Stone article and picking up where we left off.

4
00:00:11,519 --> 00:00:14,439
The two wouldn't reconnect until Combs was rocked by back

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,519
to back losses in twenty eighteen, thus split with Ventura

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,559
that September and the death of Porter, who Combs has

7
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,879
called his soulmate from low bar pneumonia in November. Passion

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,640
says she too was mourning the loss of a close friend,

9
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,879
so when Colmbs reached out to meet up at the

10
00:00:30,879 --> 00:00:34,640
Hotel bel Air in December of twenty eighteen, she accepted.

11
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,640
Something drew me into wanting to have a drink with them.

12
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:41,640
Pasione says in the documentary, I felt like I saw

13
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:45,880
somewhat of a grieving, vulnerable person. He felt real. The

14
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,600
two bonded and became inseparable throughout twenty nineteen. Passione says

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,799
in the film, it's strikingly similar to how Cassie and

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,679
Puff's relationships started. She explains of her early months with Combs.

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,520
He was interested in her opinions and showered her with compliments.

18
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,359
That's how it works. They got to get you into

19
00:01:03,399 --> 00:01:05,959
that web right, they got to draw you in. Once

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,799
you're drawn in, that's when the abuse starts. Nobody shows

21
00:01:09,879 --> 00:01:11,959
up with all these red flags. At least for the

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,719
most part, everything's great. You're in this whole entire honeymoon phase.

23
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,480
They're treating you fantastic, buying you things, gifts, taking you

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,120
on trips, treating you like a princess. And before you

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,120
know it, the whole last script flips and you're being

26
00:01:28,159 --> 00:01:32,280
abused and taking advantage of. Eventually, the veneer began to crack.

27
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,159
In early twenty nineteen, Combs hosted Passion on a yacht

28
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,560
in the Bahamas and watch some of the documentaries Surviving

29
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,159
R Kelly with her, she says, there's a little bit

30
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,599
of R Kelly and all of us. Combs allegedly said

31
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,159
as he walked away, leaving her dumbfounded. I remember being like,

32
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:52,000
there is not a little bit of R Kelly and

33
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,280
all of us. But I wasn't absorbing the severity of

34
00:01:55,319 --> 00:01:58,400
that statement until later. Imagine actually thinking you had a

35
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,239
little bit of R Kelly in you. Yeah, that's a

36
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,079
solid negative for me. I've never met a woman that

37
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,000
I wanted to molest her abuse, So I don't even

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,479
know what he's talking about. What this clown means is

39
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,639
there's a little bit of R. Kelly in him, and

40
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,560
we see that as this thing continues to progress. Well,

41
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,319
that's a prognostication that seems to be coming true. No,

42
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,439
considering what we're learning now and considering what we're going

43
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:26,199
to learn, I would say that the comparisons to R.

44
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,280
Kelly are pretty on point. Pasion recalls once making a

45
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:34,280
snarky equipped to Combs, who abruptly brought his hand near

46
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:36,319
her throat as if he was going to choke her.

47
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,800
It was just kind of hovering. Pasione says, in the series,

48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,280
we were looking at each other in the eye, and

49
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:46,000
I was like, don't you fucking dare When she stood

50
00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:48,840
her ground, he attempted to laugh off the incident. I'm

51
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,560
trying to do things differently, Combs allegedly told her At

52
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,759
one point in hindsight, Pasione says she believes Colmbs was

53
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,319
referring to his relationship with Ventura. Oh, for sure, that

54
00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:02,960
was a little bit of a backhanded threat, right. Oh,

55
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,960
I could be different. But and the dance goes on

56
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,120
time and time again. From these stories that we're hearing,

57
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,400
it is painting the same picture, and it's this story

58
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:16,919
and these stories like this that are gonna end to

59
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,400
Diddy's bitch ass being in prison for the rest of

60
00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:24,520
his life. Comb's in Pasion's relationship, but picked back up

61
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,680
in twenty twenty one when the two reconnected at colmb's

62
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,039
Malibu house while he was working on twenty twenty threes,

63
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:34,680
the love album. On the last night Passion was there,

64
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,280
Comb says he went dark at one point in the evening,

65
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,319
Pasione says in the series, Colmbs locked himself in the

66
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,360
bathroom with a baggy of tussy powder sometimes called pink

67
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,800
cocaine that's commonly a mixture of ketamine and ecstasy and

68
00:03:49,879 --> 00:03:52,039
all kinds of other shit depending on what your dealer

69
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:56,360
decides to put in it. Hours later, Combs walk Passion up,

70
00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,039
telling me I can't go to sleep. Passion recalls in

71
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,280
the series he's expecting X, Y and Z from me,

72
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:07,439
and he forces himself. She says before stopping herself. I

73
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:09,360
don't want to go too much into it because I'm

74
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,000
not trying to relive that memory. It was just scary,

75
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,480
to be honest. His whole tone everything changed, and this

76
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:18,519
is something again that we've heard time and time again

77
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,240
from these women. And when you're dealing with a prolific

78
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,879
serial abuser, this is how they groom you. They bring

79
00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:28,959
you in, they get you comfortable, they normalize the abuse

80
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,160
by all the other people around them being okay with it,

81
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,639
and then before you know it, you're caught up in

82
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,759
the web. In journal entries shown in the docuseries dated

83
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,079
June fourteenth, twenty twenty one, Passione wrote that the two

84
00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:42,879
s made him a monster. She added, he didn't listen

85
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,920
to mine. No, I want to never speak about that night,

86
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,240
and to be honest, wish I could erase him from

87
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,680
my life completely. He finally showed me his true self,

88
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,600
exposing his darkness. I feel disgusted, I feel violated. I

89
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:01,079
feel so insignificant and low. Use to talk to colms

90
00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:04,839
after that, well, I would think not like imagine trying

91
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,720
to talk to somebody after you did that to them.

92
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,600
And the crazy part is a lot of these abusers

93
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,079
they'll continue on trying to talk to you, trying to

94
00:05:12,079 --> 00:05:15,000
get these girls to come back. They don't think they

95
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,399
did anything wrong. They think all these girls wanted it right. Oh,

96
00:05:18,399 --> 00:05:22,560
it's all consensual according to you, Diddy, Because from where

97
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,920
I'm sitting here in the peanut gallery. I'm hearing a

98
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,720
whole last different story. Meanwhile, Comb's team was arranging the

99
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,319
Vanity Fair profile. In the midst of the activity, Passione

100
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,639
says she received a call from a member of Colm's

101
00:05:34,639 --> 00:05:37,120
staff who said Combs wanted it to speak to her.

102
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,639
He was furious she was cutting them off. Passione says.

103
00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:44,879
He's full throttle pissed off. Passione says, alleging that Combs

104
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,639
threatened to contact the embassy and have her deported back

105
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,879
to Canada. You don't know who you're fucking with. You

106
00:05:50,879 --> 00:05:53,120
don't know what I can do to you, Passione says.

107
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,160
Colms yelled at her. I said you're a demon, and

108
00:05:56,199 --> 00:05:59,480
he hung up. She recalls in the film Predator playbook

109
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,079
one oh one intimidation. Oh, I'm gonna get you deported.

110
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,279
I'm gonna get you fired. You can't get a job

111
00:06:05,319 --> 00:06:08,240
anymore in the industry, et cetera, et cetera. And while

112
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,639
it's obvious what they do, it's also obvious that this

113
00:06:11,759 --> 00:06:15,480
strategy that they use works very well for them. They're

114
00:06:15,519 --> 00:06:17,439
able to do it for years and years and years,

115
00:06:17,439 --> 00:06:20,079
most of the time, before anybody ever comes out and

116
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,079
outs them for the monsters that they allegedly are. The

117
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,120
Vanity Fair cover story was published on August third, twenty

118
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,680
twenty one, with Sean Lovecolmbs held as the original influencer.

119
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,120
In the accompanying photos, he's seen raising his fist to

120
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,560
the sky and posing like royalty with his teen daughters.

121
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,879
The story touted Combs knew good guy vibes frequency for pasion.

122
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,360
It proved he could weaponize his fame in a flash.

123
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,279
You feel so small and insignificant because this person has

124
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,600
so much power and resources and all these people. Passion

125
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:57,120
explains in the documentary, it's just very intimidating. And I

126
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,680
find it interesting that Diddy went to Vanity Fair to

127
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,480
get this piece done on him. If you recall, that's

128
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,959
the same outlet that Epstein used to try and help

129
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,240
rebuild his image. So what the hell's going on over

130
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,240
their Advanity Fair comb summer schedule in twenty twenty four

131
00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:17,279
looked vastly different from previous years. Normally, the highlight of

132
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:20,120
the season was his annual European trip, where he'd bring

133
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,720
his children, family members, and romantic interests along for a

134
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,959
week long stint in Italy and other international locations last year.

135
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,360
He was unable to leave the country after his lawyers

136
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,879
took possession of his passport in April, but if Combs

137
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
was worried, he didn't show it. Instead, he went on

138
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,720
a road trip to Arizona with his family and jetted

139
00:07:40,759 --> 00:07:43,399
off to Jackson Hall, Wyoming in July, where he was

140
00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:47,800
pictured whitewater rafting with a rumored romantic partner and a

141
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,560
personal photographer. Meanwhile, a grand jerry of sixteen to twenty

142
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,879
three men and women were secretly convening in Lower Manhattan

143
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,879
for weeks listening to witness after witness testify about Combs.

144
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,000
Although the seating was supposed to be kept under wraps,

145
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,600
Colmbs allegedly was fully aware it was happening. He had

146
00:08:05,639 --> 00:08:08,040
been texting and calling one grand jury witness in the

147
00:08:08,199 --> 00:08:11,920
run up and the aftermath of the man's testimony. Prosecutors

148
00:08:11,959 --> 00:08:15,839
alleged claiming it followed a long pattern of alleged obstruction,

149
00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:19,040
and this is something that's been a problem, according to prosecutors,

150
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,959
the whole entire time, and not only while he was out.

151
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,639
Remember their claiming that he's trying to obstruct from behind bars.

152
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,399
Prosecutors described the unidentified man as a mal sex worker

153
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,120
who allegedly had participated in numerous freak offs. While his

154
00:08:35,159 --> 00:08:38,960
association with Combs had since cooled, the man sporadically reached

155
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,200
out to Colmbs between the end of twenty twenty two

156
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,240
and January of twenty twenty four. Colmbs never responded. That

157
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,799
changed when Combs initiated contact with the man in twenty

158
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,320
twenty four, allegedly attempting to obscure his communication by calling

159
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,039
the man's wife and speaking with him over a VoIP service.

160
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,759
Prosecutors claim up until August, Colmbs was allegedly in semi

161
00:09:02,799 --> 00:09:06,320
frequent contact with the man. Colmbs allegedly checked in with

162
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,600
the man following his testimony, asking how he was doing,

163
00:09:09,879 --> 00:09:12,840
despite his lawyers ceasing communication with the man due to

164
00:09:12,919 --> 00:09:16,600
his grand jury appearance. Colmbs would later be accused of

165
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,000
deleting messages from his phone. Well, yeah, this is just

166
00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:22,960
a common practice for someone like Colmes. I can do

167
00:09:23,039 --> 00:09:25,080
what I want when I want to do it, and

168
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,720
the so called laws are for other people, not me.

169
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:31,159
Colmb's lawyers admitted to the court last November that Combs

170
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,480
communicated with the man, but argued it's certainly nothing that

171
00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:37,679
would rise to the level of obstruction. It's nothing that

172
00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:41,200
is corrupting in any way the grand jury process. No,

173
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,600
it's all good. Just contact all the witnesses you want,

174
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,919
obstruct all the justice you want. No big deal. At

175
00:09:46,919 --> 00:09:50,519
Colembs's first court hearing on September seventeenth, prosecutors called the

176
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,320
masserial obstructor. They said the deluge of fifty eight calls

177
00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:57,279
in text he allegedly unleashed the week before his arrest

178
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:01,440
was directed at a potential witness easily identified as bad

179
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,639
boy artist Colleena Harper. Harper and Colmbs were in a

180
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,639
band together called Diddy Dirty Money, and their other bandmate,

181
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,279
Don Richard, had just filed a lawsuit against Colmbs, claiming

182
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,240
he once physically abused Ventura, with both Harper and Richard

183
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,360
president amid one hundred and twenty eight total phone contacts

184
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,279
with Combs. That week, Harper released a public statement defending Colmbs.

185
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,320
Prosecutors said the intense wave of communications was evidence of

186
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:32,000
Colm's ongoing ability to keep witnesses, even witnesses who might

187
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,799
have been around for very distant in time, abuse, in

188
00:10:34,879 --> 00:10:38,879
his pocket and at his disposal. Harper did not respond

189
00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:42,320
to Rolling Stones multiple requests for comment instead of Richard

190
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,000
in an interview last October, that's not tampering because that

191
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,919
bitch is lying through an attorney. Richard declined to comment

192
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,440
for this article, So this isn't anywhere near completed, Meaning

193
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,480
what's going on with Kleeena Harper? And I really wonder

194
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,399
what's going on behind the scenes as far as the

195
00:10:59,399 --> 00:11:03,879
government going after or maybe for obstructing justice, for accepting

196
00:11:03,879 --> 00:11:07,200
a bribe. Who knows, And if they're not gonna do

197
00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:09,720
that as far as Charger, they might attempt to use

198
00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:12,240
that as leverage to get her to talk and spill

199
00:11:12,279 --> 00:11:15,360
the beans on Ditty, because that, at the end of

200
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,399
the day, is their goal. The target here, keep in

201
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,440
mind is Diddy, and if any of these people can

202
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,960
help them on their way to getting this dude convicted,

203
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,120
they're gonna jump into bed with them. You better believe that,

204
00:11:27,639 --> 00:11:31,000
just like it's my opinion that Brendan Paul, Christina Korum,

205
00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:33,919
and some of the other people have already turned and

206
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,120
they're working with the government. If not, they would have

207
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,919
been arrested by now. Right now, we see Brendan Paul

208
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,679
got arrested, but the charges got dropped. So all of

209
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,720
that leads me to believe that they're playing ball. And

210
00:11:44,759 --> 00:11:46,639
when you play ball with the government and you're in

211
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,519
a situation like this, it's the only way out. And

212
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,320
we all know that none of these people are built

213
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,559
for this life. I mean mobsters and cartel members. They

214
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,720
were out on their friends. You really think these people

215
00:11:56,759 --> 00:11:58,320
are going to go down with the ship for Diddy?

216
00:11:58,879 --> 00:12:02,120
Zero chance. All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up this

217
00:12:02,159 --> 00:12:05,000
episode right here and in the next episode pick up

218
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,960
where we left off. All of the information that goes

219
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,279
with this episode can be found in the description box.
