Summary

It’s been bombshell after bombshell in the federal trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs, and now we’re breaking down the most gut-wrenching, jaw-dropping testimony the jury has heard so far. From arson and assault to blackmail and balcony threats, the government says this is more than a celebrity scandal: it’s a CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious Ashleigh Banfield rewinds the most damning moments from the trial that prosecutors say could take down an alleged kingpin.

He was the king of Bad Boy Records: a billionaire mogul, a Grammy winner, and the face of luxury in hip-hop. Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a slew of federal charges in New York, accused of running a criminal enterprise for over two decades. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence.

Hey everyone. I'm Ashley Banfield, and this is Drop Dead Serious. We are knee-deep in the federal

0:09.3

racketeering trial of Sean Diddy Combs. And if you think, you've heard it all, think again,

0:14.9

my friends, because the prosecution has been dropping bombshell after bombshell almost every day.

0:23.1

And if you missed even one day of this,

0:29.0

you could have missed something that changes everything. We have heard from ex-girlfriends,

0:36.3

insiders, former assistants, even Grammy-winning celebrities. The list of witnesses included a rapper whose Porsche was firebombed, a makeup artist who found Cassie bleeding after a party at Prince's house, a woman who says Diddy dangled her from a 17th story balcony railing, and an assistant who says a man named Uncle Pauli once took her to a vacant building, forced her to endure days of polygraph tests,

0:56.6

and threatened that if she failed them, she'd end up in the East River swimming with the fishes.

1:02.6

Talk about a character from the Sopranos. Yeah, so racketeering, folks, maybe it is an appropriate

charge. And that's just some of what we've heard so far.

ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura is heard threatening to kill someone who claimed to have her sex tapes.

1:26.6

So there were no cameras in court, right? We have had to

1:30.1

rely on reporters writing about that tape, writing about everything. But writing about that tape,

1:36.6

it sure did sound like it was menacing and even thuggish, right? I thought she was gangsta.

1:43.2

But you're about to hear the tape for yourself.

1:46.9

And I am really curious about how you're going to feel about it. I'd like you to, I'd like to see if

1:52.6

you think that it is a young woman who is ready to actually kill the man that she's threatening,

1:59.2

you know, bury him six feet under?

2:08.4

Or if she's a young woman who's terrified that he's got a sex tape of her on his laptop and he's not turning it over.

2:10.4

I'm going to kill you.
