1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,759
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of The

2
00:00:02,799 --> 00:00:05,440
Diddy Diaries. In this episode, we're going to pick up

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,720
where we left off with the Rolling Stone article from

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,400
the previous episode. Pines himself claims that he had an

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,400
encounter with Combs that would haunt him. During one party,

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,879
as attendees began to dwindle, Combs instructed Pines to set

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,480
the vibe up in his room, which Pine says he

8
00:00:21,559 --> 00:00:25,440
understood to be preparation for a wild King Knight. It

9
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,640
felt like this was a normal thing, he says in

10
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:32,280
the series, but that turned very quickly. A wildly intoxicated

11
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,119
Colmbs summoned Pines up to his room and had him

12
00:00:35,119 --> 00:00:38,399
take a shot with the group. Pine's recalls. Then Colmbs

13
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:41,600
called him up a second time, Pine says, encouraging him

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,119
to take another shot. He's out of his mind at

15
00:00:44,119 --> 00:00:46,399
this point. Pine says, in the fall of Ditty, I

16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,200
remember hearing the words prove your loyalty to me, King.

17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,399
He grabbed me by the shoulders, gave me a quick

18
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:54,960
massage like a coach would give a player that's about

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,679
to enter the game, and handed me a condom. Pushed

20
00:00:57,719 --> 00:01:00,000
me to a girl that was on the couch again,

21
00:01:01,439 --> 00:01:04,239
and honestly, it sounds typical for what we've heard previously

22
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,120
about what's going on at these parties right now, as

23
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:12,159
far as mister Pines goes, obviously he was coerced into this.

24
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:16,000
According to him, nothing that he was consenting to. And

25
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,560
in that ground in the middle is where this war

26
00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:21,120
is going to be waged between mister Pines and Didy.

27
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,159
Was it consensual or was it coerced? And that's the

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,040
ongoing theme throughout all of this, right did he is

29
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:30,840
saying that all of this stuff was between consenting adults

30
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:33,120
and the people who were accusing him or saying something

31
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,159
completely different. Pine says that he froze in that moment

32
00:01:36,239 --> 00:01:39,799
but ultimately acquiesced out of fear. Is this fun for him?

33
00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:43,159
Is this a test? He recalls thinking. He says he

34
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,239
made sure that the woman was okay, and he got

35
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:47,760
her consent, then engaged in sex with her for a

36
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,799
short time before abruptly leaving the room. No one knows

37
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,400
what it feels like to be in that situation, Pines

38
00:01:54,439 --> 00:01:57,879
explains in the episode, I heard about previous employees getting

39
00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:00,799
physically assaulted. I saw how angry and upset he could

40
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,840
get from the most simplest thing, and I just thought

41
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,120
to myself, if I don't do this, I don't know

42
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:08,280
what's going to happen. I had a great sense of

43
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:12,319
remorse following that situation right from the jump. Although Pine

44
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,719
says he wanted to tell someone about what happened, he

45
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,319
felt trapped. There was so much at stake. He says

46
00:02:17,319 --> 00:02:20,039
in the special, my job could be in jeopardy. This

47
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,240
was COVID jobs weren't coming across your desk every day.

48
00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:27,319
Planning for the Turks and ca Cow's trip dominated his schedule.

49
00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:31,759
Pines describes having tunnel vision, needing to compartmentalize his feelings

50
00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:34,520
in order to solder on with his job. He has

51
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,840
the ability to make you feel like his world comes first,

52
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,159
Pine tells Rolling Stone, even if it's at your expense,

53
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,719
his needs and his life come before yours. Well, I

54
00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:48,039
think that's pretty typical with anybody in Hollywood, anyone famous.

55
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,120
If you're getting hired on to be an assistant for

56
00:02:50,199 --> 00:02:52,879
one of these dudes, you better be ready. They're gonna

57
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,159
run you ragged, and they're gonna have all kinds of

58
00:02:55,199 --> 00:02:58,879
crazy expectations. Now, nobody should be expected to do what

59
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,319
mister pines Is is alleging he had to do. But

60
00:03:02,439 --> 00:03:05,560
the other stuff, Yeah, you're basically a slave, right, You're

61
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,599
gonna do whatever it is these dudes want you to do.

62
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,280
Go pick this up, Go pick that up. Make sure

63
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,000
I have this, make sure I have that. The whole thing.

64
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:16,039
This has been very difficult for me to put on

65
00:03:16,039 --> 00:03:19,240
full display because of the reaction to it. Referring to

66
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,639
the physical and mental toll to coming forward. As a man,

67
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,159
you're taught to endure a little bit more to maintain

68
00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:28,479
your masculinity, but for me, it's bigger than that, because

69
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,159
mental health is not gender based. And this is the

70
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,479
problem a lot of men run into. Right. They don't

71
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,120
want to come forward and talk about being abused because

72
00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:40,000
of the stigma, so they'll just live with it in silence.

73
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,479
I mean, what dude wants to be out here talking

74
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:45,479
about something like this, right, let's just be real. So

75
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,800
it's difficult for men to come forward, and these predators, well,

76
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:51,599
they know it. Pines Is among at least a dozen

77
00:03:51,639 --> 00:03:54,360
people who have filed lawsuits a legend Combs preyed on

78
00:03:54,439 --> 00:03:57,960
them over the past eight years. It was a period

79
00:03:58,039 --> 00:04:01,319
after the Hotel Hallway assault in colmb's transition to his

80
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,240
Brother Love era, when he was projecting a more family

81
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,560
friendly image. Just like Disneyland, Folks fun for the whole family.

82
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:13,120
Let's go visit Uncle Puffy, said nobody ever. In total,

83
00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:15,719
more than forty lawsuits have been filed against Combs since

84
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:18,600
late twenty twenty three, the vast majority accusing him of

85
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:22,959
sexual misconduct. Colmb's team issued abroad denial of all the claims,

86
00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:27,000
as we have repeatedly said, it's unfortunate that anyone can

87
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,680
file a complaint even without proof. They said, Oh yeah,

88
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,800
I'm sure there's no proof here. That's why you were

89
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,439
just hit with a superseded indictment, zero proof whatsoever that

90
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:39,800
you were out here diddling and molesting people. The new

91
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,920
accusers say that they were lured during this period to hotels,

92
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,600
business meetings, and parties in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami,

93
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,279
where they were allegedly handed spike drinks or forced to

94
00:04:51,319 --> 00:04:54,759
take pills that caused them to lose consciousness. Some say

95
00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:57,360
they met Comb's only one time, during a chance encounter

96
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,079
that would upend their lives. Others say they were with Combs,

97
00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:04,639
while a few detailed relationships that went back years, And

98
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,160
for me, the biggest takeaway is all the people that

99
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,360
have known Ditty for all these years that have come

100
00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:12,319
forward with these allegations. And when people close to you

101
00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:15,240
coming forward and saying this sort of thing, well, I'm

102
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,519
listening to what they have to say. Right, It's not

103
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,000
just like a bunch of people are coming out of

104
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,879
the woodwork. Remember a lot of these people that are

105
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,680
accusing Diddy are doing so with their name behind the accusation,

106
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:28,839
and these are the people that have worked with them

107
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,000
in some capacity throughout the years. For Nicole, who met

108
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,560
Combs in twenty twenty, a four year romantic relationship began,

109
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,160
as many do, with Combs showering her with sentimental gifts.

110
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,639
The couple binge, watched Dayline episodes and attended church together

111
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,560
on Sundays. At first, when news of Ventura's loss, who

112
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,680
Broke and subsequent lawsuits began rolling in, it was hard

113
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,480
for Nicole to digest the version of Combs that was

114
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,319
making headlines. He wasn't this all bad person, she explains.

115
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,720
He was very sweet. We talked about real life stuff,

116
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,240
about my childhood and his childhood. But deep down, Nicole

117
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,519
Tell's rolling Stone, she knew shades of the Combs that

118
00:06:06,639 --> 00:06:09,720
others were describing, the man who could turn the monic

119
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,439
on vendors and would test, push, and flat out break

120
00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:16,600
her boundaries. He would always take it to a point

121
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:19,959
that I was fearful for my life, she says. And

122
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,639
this is another ongoing theme, right how many people that

123
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,199
have spent time with Diddy in a romantic way have

124
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:29,439
come forward with the same story. It was all good

125
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,800
at first, but as things progressed, Dude became increasingly unstable

126
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,639
and more violent. The model and entrepreneur alleged us that

127
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,319
Colmbs had a controlling side, telling her that she couldn't

128
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:46,240
post certain things on social media and discouraging her from working. Instead,

129
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,240
Combs insisted on paying her an allowance to keep her

130
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,600
at his beck and call her. Lawsuit claims she was

131
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,319
expected to drop everything if Combs wanted her, and if

132
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,759
she resisted, Combs and his staffers would use coercive and

133
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,000
harassing language to can tell her to comply her pseudal edges.

134
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,600
One time, Nicole says she was adamant she couldn't make

135
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:07,959
a sudden trip to see him, only to receive a

136
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,040
flurry of calls from a Comb staffer imagine being that pedantic.

137
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,120
Oh yeah, she won't come see me, So I'm gonna

138
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,759
have my staffer caller one hundred and fifty five times.

139
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,319
Here's an idea, dude, stop get help. But it comes

140
00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:24,319
back to the same thing time and time again with

141
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,600
people like Diddy, and that is they're not used to

142
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,600
being told no. They get everything they want. Nobody ever

143
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:33,399
stands in their way. So when somebody finally steps up

144
00:07:33,399 --> 00:07:35,959
to them and says, look, that's not gonna happen. I'm

145
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,480
not down with that, then it becomes a big thing.

146
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,000
He has to unleash the hounds. Right, let me send

147
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,439
my people over, my goon squad to go and rougher

148
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,199
up to go in, you know, coercer to come back.

149
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,759
I just ignored the phone call, she said. Then the

150
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,000
next thing, you know, the driver is outside of my door,

151
00:07:51,079 --> 00:07:54,680
ringing my doorbell. I ended up giving in and going

152
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,279
the next day. Gradually, Combs began pressuring her to add

153
00:07:58,319 --> 00:08:02,439
other people to their sexual encounter. Nicole's lawsuit claims it

154
00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:06,480
seemed innocent enough at first. Colmbs allegedly questioned if she'd

155
00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:09,319
be interested in having a threesome with the man. I

156
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,360
thought it was a test of my loyalty to him,

157
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,839
Nicole explains, assuming he wanted her to reject the suggestion,

158
00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:18,399
but Colmbs reassured her that it was okay if she

159
00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:22,399
wanted to be with other men. Despite Nicole's repeated insistence

160
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,160
that she wasn't interested, She says, Colmbs would continually bring

161
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,720
up the subject with her. I feel like maybe he

162
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,600
was grooming me to do things sexually with him, she says.

163
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,159
And that's exactly what that process is, grooming people to

164
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,080
normalize this sort of behavior so they engage in it.

165
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,799
That scumbag trafficker one oh one. Nicole's visits with Combs

166
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:45,679
would almost always include what she described as performing a

167
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,480
show for him. Nicole claims Combs would want to take

168
00:08:48,519 --> 00:08:51,440
ecstasy together before she would have to code herself in

169
00:08:51,519 --> 00:08:55,039
warmed baby oil, similar to what Ventura alleged in her

170
00:08:55,039 --> 00:08:58,879
own lawsuit. Imagine you're here getting, you know, physical with somebody,

171
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,200
and they're like, hold up, let me oil you up

172
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,440
like a Thanksgiving turkey real quick before we continue on

173
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,200
our escapades. Like what what are you even talking about

174
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,120
right now? Take that baby oil and shove at homie.

175
00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:16,799
Although social media ran rampant with jokes, about prosecutors seizing

176
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,039
one thousand bottles of baby oil from combs properties. Nicole

177
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,720
explains Combs was serious about using it during sex. They

178
00:09:23,799 --> 00:09:26,159
could easily go through an entire bottle in less than

179
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,639
five minutes. She says, Yo, how does that even happen?

180
00:09:29,919 --> 00:09:31,519
How do you need to use a whole ass bottle

181
00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:35,559
of baby oil in five minutes? Like? What exactly is

182
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,519
it that you're doing? The sexual activity could go on

183
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,679
for hours, and Combs would apply her with alcohol and

184
00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:47,399
substances until she passed out. Her lawsuit claims, upon waking up,

185
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,559
Nicole would find herself covered in bruises with little memory

186
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,519
of the night before. She claims that after one meeting

187
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,960
in spring of twenty twenty two, she woke up to

188
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,399
find a bite mark on her heel and her feet

189
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,039
a purplish color, a bite mark on her foot. What

190
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,360
sort of feral ass behavior is going on? That somebody's

191
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,159
biting your foot? She says that she knew better than

192
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,559
to push back against certain sexual requests. I feel like

193
00:10:12,639 --> 00:10:14,840
the devil that would come out of him was during

194
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,519
these turn up times, Nicole explains, alluding to Colmbs alleged

195
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,279
to every drinking and drug use. It would be like

196
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:24,200
a switch. We would be having so much fun, and

197
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,240
then there's like a time when he's just taken it

198
00:10:26,279 --> 00:10:29,919
too far drug wise, that he wants exactly what he wants.

199
00:10:30,799 --> 00:10:33,159
He's never put his hands on me, Nicole says, denying

200
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,360
any violence like what Ventura described, but I knew that

201
00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:39,559
he was capable of it. There were other moments when

202
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:43,480
Colmbs allegedly violated her boundaries. She claims in her lawsuit

203
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,159
that in April twenty twenty two, while she was staying

204
00:10:46,159 --> 00:10:48,840
with Combs at his Los Angeles mansion, he had sex

205
00:10:48,919 --> 00:10:52,080
with her without her consent. A few months later, in July,

206
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,120
Combs allegedly forced her to take a drug that she

207
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,600
now believes was ketamine. Throughout the ensuing night, Nicole says

208
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,799
she lost consciousness intermittently before she blacked out, Well, yeah,

209
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,840
if you're taking K, you could hit something called a

210
00:11:05,919 --> 00:11:09,679
K hole and forget it. You're still kind of luciden

211
00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:11,879
with it, but you really can't move your body. So

212
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,559
it's the perfect drug for people like Diddy to use. Later,

213
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,639
Nicole says she learned she was pregnant but ended up miscarrying,

214
00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:22,440
leading her to take a month's long break from her relationship.

215
00:11:23,159 --> 00:11:26,639
Colmb's representatives declined to respond on the record when sent

216
00:11:26,759 --> 00:11:31,200
a detailed list of questions regarding Nicole's allegations. Colmbs lured

217
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,840
her back into dating again by late twenty twenty two,

218
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,080
but Nicole says she was growing increasingly wary. She says

219
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,960
the final time she saw Colmbs was the July twenty

220
00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:45,519
twenty four incident involving the two alleged force pills. Once again,

221
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,679
she claims, Colmbs allegedly asked her about inviting over a man.

222
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,080
He was in a state of desperation, Nichole says, both

223
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,000
begging and insisting that the next time they were together

224
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,480
she would find a man to bring into the bedroom.

225
00:11:57,879 --> 00:12:00,000
I was in and out of consciousness that night, she said,

226
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,720
but I do remember. I was just like, I'm just

227
00:12:02,799 --> 00:12:05,000
gonna say yes, so he leaves me alone and I'm

228
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,799
never coming back. I Am never coming back after this.

229
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,919
She awoke the next morning feeling sick and having limited

230
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,519
memory of what had happened, noting the bedroom was in

231
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,639
a complete state of disarray. It was the final straw.

232
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,639
She bided her time until she felt she could leave safely,

233
00:12:19,919 --> 00:12:23,399
avoiding colmbs calls in the following weeks, when Colms began

234
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,360
messaging her again from New York, Nicole says she had

235
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,519
a sinking feeling that Colmes was going to try to

236
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,360
make her deliver on the agreement she made under duress.

237
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,240
I feel like he was trying to get me to

238
00:12:34,279 --> 00:12:38,120
facilitate it, because then now I'm not a victim, she says,

239
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,360
I'm the doer. All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up

240
00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:43,519
right here, and in the next episode, we're gonna pick

241
00:12:43,639 --> 00:12:46,120
up where we left off. All of the information that

242
00:12:46,159 --> 00:12:49,519
