Mylah Morales testified about a 2010 incident at the Beverly Hills Hotel during the Grammy Awards weekend. She recounted waking up to the sounds of a heated argument between Combs and Cassie Ventura. After Combs stormed out of the room, Morales found Ventura with visible injuries, including a swollen lip, a black eye, and knots on her head. Concerned for Ventura's safety, Morales took her to her own home and consulted a doctor friend, who advised that Ventura should visit the emergency room. However, Ventura declined to seek medical attention or involve the police. Morales expressed fear for her own safety, stating she was afraid of Combs and feared for her life Frederic Zemmour, manager at the L’Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills, also testified on Day 9. He stated that Combs' customer profile had several notes to staff, including one that warned he "always spills candle wax on everything and uses excessive amounts of oil." These details were presented to illustrate Combs' behavior and its impact on hotel staff and property. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

On Day 9 of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, rapper Kid Cudi (Scott Mescudi) delivered a compelling testimony detailing a series of unsettling events he attributed to Combs' jealousy over Cudi's brief relationship with Casandra "Cassie" Ventura in 2011. Cudi recounted receiving a distressed call from Ventura, warning him that Combs had discovered their relationship and had obtained Cudi's home address. Subsequently, Cudi found his Los Angeles home broken into, with Christmas gifts unwrapped and his dog locked in a bathroom. He reported the incident to the police. Weeks later, in early 2012, Cudi's Porsche was destroyed by a Molotov cocktail in his driveway—a retaliatory act he suspected was orchestrated by Combs. Although Combs later denied involvement during a meeting at a Los Angeles hotel, Cudi testified that he believed the incidents were meant to intimidate him. Cudi's testimony aligns with previous allegations made by Ventura in her 2023 lawsuit, where she claimed Combs threatened violence against both her and Cudi upon learning of their relationship. During his testimony, Cudi described Combs' demeanor during their confrontation as reminiscent of a "Marvel supervillain," noting his calmness and the unsettling nature of the encounter. These accounts contribute to the prosecution's narrative of Combs' alleged pattern of coercive and violent behavior to maintain control over individuals in his personal and professional life. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, and faces the possibility of life imprisonment if convicted. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: May 22, 2025 - Day 9 of testimony in the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial | CNN Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

On Day 9 of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal trial, former personal assistant George Kaplan delivered compelling testimony that shed light on the inner workings of Combs' operations. Kaplan recounted an incident aboard a private jet in 2015, where he witnessed Combs allegedly assaulting singer Cassie Ventura. According to Kaplan, he heard glass shattering and saw Combs standing over Ventura, who was on her back with her legs up, seemingly trying to create space. Ventura reportedly screamed, "Isn't anybody seeing this?" as the altercation unfolded. Kaplan also described another episode where he observed Ventura with bruises under her eye, after which Combs instructed him to purchase over-the-counter remedies to conceal the injuries . Beyond these incidents, Kaplan detailed his responsibilities, which extended beyond typical assistant duties. He testified about preparing hotel rooms for Combs' events, ensuring they were stocked with specific items and later cleaning them to protect Combs' public image. Kaplan also mentioned procuring drugs like MDMA for Combs and maintaining a "medicine bag" containing substances such as ketamine and Wellbutrin. Despite expressing admiration for Combs, Kaplan stated that he ultimately resigned in December 2015 due to discomfort with the physical behavior he witnessed . to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: (5) Live updates on the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial: Kid Cudi on the stand following Cassie Ventura’s testimony | CNN Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

During Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, the prosecution called former executive assistant George Kaplan to testify, aiming to provide an insider's perspective on Combs' alleged operations. Kaplan, who worked for Combs between 2013 and 2015, detailed his responsibilities, which included booking hotel rooms under aliases, procuring drugs like MDMA and ketamine, and preparing rooms with specific items such as candles and baby oil. He also recounted cleaning up after Combs' so-called "freak-off" parties to maintain the mogul's public image. Kaplan's testimony was intended to illustrate the structured and deliberate nature of Combs' alleged activities, supporting the prosecution's claim of a coordinated criminal enterprise. Furthermore, Kaplan described a work environment characterized by intimidation and control, noting that Combs frequently threatened his employment over minor infractions. He also testified about witnessing physical abuse, including an incident where Combs assaulted his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, leading Kaplan to resign. By presenting Kaplan's firsthand accounts, the prosecution aimed to demonstrate a pattern of coercion and abuse, reinforcing their argument that Combs' actions extended beyond personal misconduct to constitute criminal behavior under federal statutes. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ex-employee details setting up hotels for rapper's 'Freak-Offs' Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Sean "Diddy" Combs has filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit against NBCUniversal, Peacock, and production company Ample Entertainment, alleging that their documentary, "Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy," contains false and defamatory statements. The lawsuit claims that the documentary portrays Combs as a "monster" and the "embodiment of Lucifer," falsely accusing him of heinous crimes such as serial murder, rape of minors, and sex trafficking. Specific allegations include insinuations of Combs' involvement in the deaths of his ex-partner Kim Porter and rapper The Notorious B.I.G., as well as unfounded claims of sexual misconduct with minors. Combs' legal team argues that these baseless assertions have caused severe reputational and economic harm, and that the defendants prioritized sensationalism over journalistic integrity. The lawsuit emphasizes that the documentary advances unfounded conspiracy theories, relying on speculative interviews and discredited sources. Combs' attorneys assert that the defendants were aware of the falsehoods yet proceeded with broadcasting the documentary, thereby exploiting public interest for profit. They contend that this reckless dissemination of unverified information not only damages Combs' reputation but also jeopardizes his right to a fair trial, as he is currently awaiting trial on unrelated federal charges. Through this legal action, Combs seeks to hold the defendants accountable for the substantial harm caused by their actions. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: sean-combs-nbcu-complaint.pdf Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Despite the formidable case presented by federal prosecutors against Sean "Diddy" Combs—including allegations of sex trafficking, racketeering, and coercion—his defense team has not conceded defeat. Their strategy involves acknowledging Combs' history of abusive behavior while arguing that these actions, though reprehensible, do not meet the legal definitions of the charges he faces. By admitting to being a "terrible boyfriend," the defense aims to separate personal misconduct from criminal enterprise, suggesting that the prosecution's portrayal conflates morally objectionable behavior with illegal activity. This approach seeks to challenge the prosecution's narrative by emphasizing the distinction between personal failings and criminal conduct. Additionally, the defense is scrutinizing the credibility and consistency of the prosecution's witnesses. For instance, during cross-examination, they highlighted messages from Cassie Ventura that suggest a degree of consent and mutual participation in certain activities, aiming to cast doubt on claims of coercion. By questioning the reliability of testimonies and the interpretation of evidence, the defense hopes to introduce reasonable doubt among jurors. While the path to exoneration is narrow, these tactics underscore that the outcome of the trial remains uncertain, and the defense is actively working to challenge the prosecution's case. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Diddy Trial Going His Way So Far, Legal Analysts Say: 'Acquittal Likely' - Newsweek Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The recent leak of confidential information in the Bryan Kohberger case, featured in an NBC "Dateline" episode, has raised significant concerns about potential penalties for the prosecution. Judge Steven Hippler has ordered both the prosecution and defense to submit lists of individuals who had access to the leaked materials, which included details about Kohberger's internet search history and other sensitive information. The judge has also indicated the possibility of appointing a special prosecutor to investigate the source of the leak, emphasizing the seriousness of the potential violation of the court's gag order If the prosecution is found to be responsible for the leak, they could face several penalties. These may include sanctions for violating the gag order, which could involve fines or other disciplinary actions. Additionally, the defense may argue that the leak has prejudiced the jury pool, potentially leading to a delay in the trial or even a change of venue. Such developments could undermine the prosecution's case and affect the overall proceedings. Furthermore, any misconduct could be grounds for appeals if Kohberger is convicted, potentially jeopardizing the integrity of the trial's outcome . to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Bryan Kohberger attorneys seek Idaho murders trial delay after Dateline special | Fox News Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

On Day 8 of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, former executive assistant George Kaplan provided detailed testimony about his tenure with Combs from 2013 to 2015. Kaplan described working extensive hours, often between 80 to 100 per week, and performing tasks that extended beyond typical assistant duties. He was responsible for booking hotel rooms under the alias "Frank Black," a nod to the late rapper Notorious B.I.G., and preparing them with specific items such as candles, baby oil, Astroglide, and liquor. Kaplan also testified that he procured drugs like MDMA and ketamine for Combs, sometimes using a corporate card, and maintained a kit containing various pills, including Advil and ketamine. He emphasized that these preparations were aimed at protecting Combs' public image, as hotels might sell compromising photos or videos of celebrities. Kaplan further recounted instances where he cleaned up hotel rooms after Combs' alleged "freak-off" sex parties, disposing of items like empty alcohol bottles, baby oil, and drugs, and tidying pillows to make it appear as if nothing had occurred. He mentioned encountering a brown crystallized powder in a bathroom during one cleanup. Kaplan testified that Combs frequently threatened his job, sometimes over minor issues, such as purchasing the wrong type of water bottles. He also stated that he left his position after witnessing Combs physically abuse his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Kaplan's testimony provides insight into the alleged operations within Combs' inner circle and supports the prosecution's narrative of a pattern of coercion and abuse. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: May 21, 2025 - Day 8 of testimony in the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial | CNN Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

On Day 7 of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, two pivotal witnesses provided testimonies that shed light on the alleged dynamics of control and coercion within Combs' personal relationships. Regina Ventura, mother of singer Cassie Ventura, testified that in December 2011, she received an email from her daughter revealing that Combs had threatened to release explicit videos of her and harm both her and her then-boyfriend, rapper Kid Cudi. Fearing for her daughter's safety, Regina stated that she and her husband took out a home equity loan to pay Combs $20,000, a sum he demanded to "recoup money he had spent" on Cassie. She also presented photographs of bruises on Cassie's body, which she had taken during a visit home that same month. Notably, the money was returned several days later, and Cassie resumed her relationship with Combs. Following Regina Ventura's testimony, Sharay Hayes, an exotic dancer known as "The Punisher," took the stand to discuss his involvement in orchestrated sexual encounters, referred to as "freak-offs," with Combs and Cassie between 2012 and 2015. Hayes recounted his first experience at a Trump Tower suite, where he was instructed not to make eye contact with Combs, who observed the scene while wearing a veil. Over time, Hayes participated in approximately eight to twelve such sessions, during which Combs would direct the activities, often involving baby oil and specific positioning instructions. Hayes noted that while he never witnessed drug use during these encounters, he felt pressure and discomfort, sometimes resorting to medication for performance anxiety. He also observed signs of frustration from Cassie during these events, suggesting a lack of enthusiasm or consent to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

​In the case of Jane Doe v. Sean Combs, the plaintiff, Jane Doe, filed a lawsuit against Sean Combs and associated entities, alleging that Combs sexually assaulted her at a charity event he co-sponsored in 1991. The plaintiff sought to proceed anonymously, citing the sensitive nature of the allegations and potential harm if her identity were disclosed. Initially, the court granted a temporary order allowing her to proceed under a pseudonym, pending further review. Upon subsequent evaluation, the court applied the ten-factor balancing test from Sealed Plaintiff v. Sealed Defendant to determine whether the plaintiff could continue anonymously. The court found that while the case involved sensitive personal matters, other factors—such as the significant public interest in the proceedings, potential prejudice to the defendants, and the plaintiff's ability to present her case without anonymity—outweighed the arguments for anonymity. Consequently, the court denied the plaintiff's motion to proceed under a pseudonym, emphasizing the importance of transparency and public access in judicial proceedings. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: gov.uscourts.nysd.633975.44.0.pdf Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
