I'm going, what the hell? Basically your stay at home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. All you gotta do is receive the package. Don't have to open it, just accept it. She was very upset, crying. Once I saw the gun, I tried to take his hand and I saw.

Listen to just heal with Dr. J from the Black Effect PO Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey there folks. It is Friday, October 3rd. Sean Diddy Combs will be in prison for another three plus years. Welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Ropes. We need some context here. We just got the sentencing for Sean Diddy Combs. He's been sentenced to four. Four years, two months in jail, 50 months total is what we got now he spent 14 in jail already. There's time served and all this stuff for good behavior. But the bottom line folks is that Sean Diddy Combs is going to be in prison for years to come.
- [03:19]
A
That's correct. And in fact there have already been speculation that if he has good behavior, he could possibly get out in two and a half years. But it is certainly not what Sean Combs wanted. That's not what his DEF team wanted. And he seemed, well he didn't seem, he, he seemed disappointed. I guess that's probably the best way to put it when the verdict was read. But I know that many of you who are following along and watching the judges comments as they were coming down through some of those live reports from reporters in the courtroom, many of us present, party included, thought that the judge was going to go even harsher, was going to add even more years. I was actually in a sense relieved because I thought he was going to throw book at him by what he was saying leading up to the actual sentencing.
- [04:07]
B
Yeah. And to a certain degree Sean Diddy Combs and his lawyers might feel like the book has been thrown at them, at him because they were asking for 14 months. He's been in prison for 13 months already during the trial. So it's almost a time served situation. And they are in their minds thinking about him being home maybe immediately or at least in time for the holidays is what we're talking about. Robes. This was a big dramatic moment today when it was revealed that he had speaking engagements lined up, five, six of them at a non profit that works with incarcerated people. So it was still supposed to be something he was giving back to the community. But it was revealed during his sentencing hearing that this man whose life is on the line and going possibly to prison for years is already planning being free. Judge can't feel good about that.
- [05:00]
A
No. And because we had people who were in the courtroom watching, he actually his head snapped up I believe is how they described it when the prosecutors dropped that bomb. And I do Think that was a moment where he thought, oh no, that's not good. And it certainly was not a good look to have someone who was facing up to 11, but maybe even 20 years behind bars already planning or assuming that he could be free in a week. And so that was not a good look. And it spoke to. I even said to you, do you think his lawyers, people close to him, convinced him, made him believe that he was actually going to be free after this hearing? The answer has to be maybe or even probably.
- [05:46]
B
Look, there was, look, some of us, there was a lot of conversation around the possibility of him going home today. And if we thought it, you know, that was best case scenario, maybe thought it was pie in the sky, but there was some part of him who thought that. And you do not make possible plans for next week and the next two weeks in Miami if you think you're going to prison for a long time.
- [06:12]
A
But you were shocked when you heard that. I was shocked when I heard that. I don't think any one of us actually thought that was highly likely. Yes, there was a chance, but it was a chance. So it was very shocking to hear that he actually thought it was significantly more than a chance enough to actually schedule potential speeches outside of prison. As a free man in Miami, starting to go ahead and give back to the community, moving past a prison sentence, that, that was fairly shocking to me, the context there.
- [06:45]
B
Yes, the prosecution kind of dropped that bomb and let everybody know he had these speaking engagements. It comes out that in fact it was a non profit. Then his attorney explained it later by saying, yeah, we want him to have things to do or to look forward to or to have an anticipation for is how they explained it. Fine. Either way, at the end of the day, didn't matter much to this Judge Robes. We sat here, this is how it happened today in court. Look, we didn't know how long this thing was going to go. It was an all day affair.
- [07:12]
A
We did not anticipate that at all.
- [07:14]
B
We didn't think they were gonna have a lunch break and then they took a lunch break and said, oh, we need to get settled in here for a little bit. But a key component, we had an earlier episode where we explained what happened previously in court, but here we just want to go through what did he said and what the judge said. So they requested, I don't know if this happens. But the judge granted it. The defense asked, hey, I know the prosecution has a rebuttal coming. So they were going to get to have a rebuttal to Everything the defense did, they said. But we would like, and we ask that Sean Diddy Combs be allowed to speak after the prosecution rebuttal point there being. The last person the judge got to hear from today before he made his decision was Sean Diddy Combs.
- [07:59]
A
That's right. And he had a 12 minute speech, so to speak, to the court, where he first of all thanked the judge in the court for giving him the opportunity to finally speak. And he talked about how that was one of the most difficult parts about the entire trial was not being able to express, he said, how sorry I am for my actions. I want to thank you for giving me the chance to finally speak up for myself. So he said being quiet, staying quiet was incredibly difficult. And he did start off with an apology, which I did think was the right call. He apologized for any harm or hurt that he caused Cassie Ventura. Find. He also apologized to Jane, saying that that's of course a pseudonym for one of his former girlfriends, that he was sorry that I brought you into my mess. He also apologized to all victims of domestic violence, citing the video that we all saw that was played ad nauseam during trial of him beating Ventura. Cassie ventura, fine in 2016 that we saw last year, but certainly was the, the centerpiece perhaps of the prosecution's case against him when it came to the violence in which he was able to control Cassie and other women.
- [09:16]
B
That was, it's. We, we mentioned that again. And I said to you a moment ago, I mean, he's gotten. People are going to talk about this. Yes, he was sentenced to four years and two months officially for transportation, to participate in prostitution. And I said to you, a lot of people had an issue with him doing a lot of time for crimes that he wasn't convicted of. And even in the hearing today, the judge said, I am going to allow conduct that you weren't convicted of to be a factor in my sentencing for you. I said to you about that, that video, man, if you. Everybody was speculating, he's probably gonna get five years, six. Everybody, whoever. If you're listening right now, you've had a conversation with somebody saying, yeah, what do you think he's gonna get? Four years, two months. That video alone. If you told me you want to give him four years, two months, five years, six years just for the video of what we saw happening with Cassie Ventura, I don't know how you could make a, an argument against that.
- [10:17]
A
I think most people would be okay with that. And especially in the context of that was just one moment. That was Just one day that there were countless incidents that were similar to that, that we didn't see, that we would never see, that only she could describe, that only she lived through. So. But to actually have that physical proof that we could actually witness with our own eyes, you can't unsee it. And, and seeing how brutal it was, how vicious it was, I do believe that the sentence that was handed down today, I, I agree with you. By just looking at that video, I don't think many people could argue that that wasn't a just sentence. Even if it were just for that particular singular moment.
- [11:03]
B
Just as a human being, you're not. That is just awful. That's going to stick with all of us. But just that, again, a lot of the legalese we don't understand and what's right, the man act and all this back and forth. What we understand is not all the racketeering and all. Now, what we understand is that this man we see beating a woman, this man we hear in court, day in, day out, a lot of this was not disputed. Harassing, abusing, assaulting, threatening women.
- [11:34]
A
Yes.
- [11:35]
B
And people. Right.
- [11:36]
A
Kicking someone while they're down, I mean, that is kind of one of the lowest things you can do to someone. And that is actually what we witnessed.
- [11:43]
B
And again, I know his family is hurting, but on a human level, and even if you don't understand all the legal back and forth, you don't have a problem saying this is unjust, like, he got too much. You're not going to say that. You can make an argument he didn't get enough, but it's difficult to make an argument. Right, Robes that, yes, he got too much time or the judge was too harsh on him.
- [12:08]
A
I think that that is a very fair way to look at it. I mean, everyone's going to have their individual opinion. But I do think that. And again, I think the judge was building it up. We were actually at the edge of our seats looking and refreshing to get the courtroom reporters, like, minute by minute, blow by blowing, what's happening in court. And when you were hearing what the judge was saying, it seemed as though he was going to be much harsher.
- [12:35]
B
Oh, we were sure.
- [12:37]
A
I was like, oh, my God, he might actually get 10 years, he might get seven years. We were really thinking that. So then when he ended up saying 50 months, it actually felt like a little bit of a relief, like, okay, it's not going to be that much. And then when we really processed it, it actually felt pretty fair.
- [12:53]
B
And you say a relief, not that we Wanted him to get what I'm saying, what you were saying, and I know what you're saying, that we, for a moment while the judge was speaking, said, holy hell, he's going to give him more than the 11.
- [13:06]
A
Yes.
- [13:06]
B
Like he was sounding that harsh. Yes to where we thought Diddy was going away for a long decade.
- [13:12]
A
He could have been sent away for 20 years, period. That absolutely could have happened. And that was within the judge's discretion to do that. So it was possible.
- [13:24]
B
So did he, in making his, what was it, 12 minutes? They said it was 12 minutes. Spoke to the judge. He said, I ask your honor for the chance to be a father again. I ask your honor for the chance to be a son again. I ask your honor for the chance to be a leader in my community again. I asked for a chance to get the help that I desperately need to become a better person. Because I don't want to let God down. I don't want to let my family down. I would have robes. I can't imagine what this was like to hear him speak in that courtroom.
- [13:54]
A
He actually used the word beg. He begged the judge for mercy. That was a very humble moment. I do appreciate what he said as well when he said, I can't change the past, but can change the future. And that's when he said, I ask your honor for mercy, I beg your honor for mercy to be a father again, a son again, and be a leader in my community again and get the help I desperately need. So that, that, I thought that was a heartfelt moment when he, you know, I mentioned in the, in the episode earlier, like some of the, some of his pleas for mercy with some of the highly produced video that he sent and some of the things he said in his letter, I was a little bit turned off by. But I do think he did humble himself in front of the court. Not that it meant that he should have gotten off or away or let out immediately, but I do think that it did feel heartfelt. It did feel authentic.
- [15:02]
B
The judge, though, as we mentioned, he certainly built this thing up and there was anticipation and you could tell, really almost robes from the moment the hearing started this morning at 10 o', clock, things were not going to go Sean Diddy Combs way. And then once we did start hearing from the judge, right before he was going to announce the 50 month sentence, you would have been convinced that this judge was about to throw the book. Isn't that the phrase? Yes, throw the book at Diddy. We'll tell you. Stay here after the break. What the judge said that had us thinking Diddy was going to go away for 11, 12, 15 years, even stay here.

When I looked in the mirror, I expected to see weight loss from my GLP1. Not unwanted hollowing in my face, sagging skin and wrinkles, my face looking older. That was never part of my plan. So I did something about it. I restored my skin's glow and refreshed my look. Learn how you can take back your youthful appearance@faceafterweightloss.com that's faceafterweightloss.com in early 1988, federal agents raced to track down the gang they suspect of importing millions of dollars worth of heroin into New York from Asia.

But what they find is not what they expected.

B
Basically, your stay at home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. They go, is this your daughter? I said, yes. They go, oh, you may not see her for like 25 years.

A
Caught between a federal investigation and the violent gang who recruited them, the women must decide who. Who they're willing to protect and who they dare to betray.

Once I saw the gun, I tried to take his hand and I saw the flash of light.

I was rooting for you.

We were all rooting for you. How dare you learn something from this? But looking back 20 years later, that iconic show so many of us love is horrifying.

Robyn, first of all, is too old to be starting model.

She's huge. I talked to cast, crew and producers who were there for some of the show's most shocking moments.

B
All right, folks, we continue now. Sean Diddy Combs, 50 months in prison. That is his sentence. That equates to four years and two months. Do the math. With the 13 almost coming up on 14 months he's already done. That would mean about another three years in prison for Sean Diddy Combs. I don't know the math, good behavior, but you've been looking into this. He, he could potentially get out two.
- [20:43]
A
And a half years is what a lot of folks think. He'll be in prison for another 30 months or so, give or take.
- [20:50]
B
All right, so that is what we know now of this whole ordeal. Yes, Sean Combs is going to this media mogul, the guy who has, who literally was a part of changing the game in music. Changing what? Hip hop. Taking hip hop around the world. This guy is an icon in the industry and one of the biggest self made entrepreneurs we have ever seen in hip hop. Is going to prison for three years. Excuse me. 40. 50 months.
- [21:18]
A
50 months. 50 months. But. So it'll be a total of four. Yes.
- [21:21]
B
Just want to make sure I continue to stay clear. Now, the judge, when he started. So Diddy got to speak. He was the last person to speak before the judge got to speak. And robes. When the judge started, our eyebrows started like, wait, whoa, wait. And then every update we got was worse than the last one, correct? Or did he at least.
- [21:38]
A
Yes. Because he said yes. I'm considering the fact that you're a self made artist. I'm considering the fact that you've inspired and lifted up your community. He noted his philanthropic work, his devotion to his family, his work battling his own drug addiction. But this is when you get the. But, however, the court has to consider all of your history here. And he said a hit. This is. This was an important phrase. And we went, oh, no. A history of good works can't wash away the record in this case, which shows that you abused the power and control over the lives of women who you professed to love.
- [22:14]
B
We. We heard that. Whoa, oh, this is. This is not going his way.
- [22:19]
A
And then when he said this was subjugation and it drove both Ms. Ventura and Jane to thoughts of ending their lives, that was significant. I thought, my goodness, he's actually almost accusing him of attempted murder in a way. That was what he's like, you are responsible for their feelings of suicide. And so then he went on to say, the court is not assured that if released, these crimes will not be committed again. That one was a doozy.
- [22:50]
B
You said it earlier, and it's weird to say this about this particular judge on Brand. This dude has been consistent. Isn't that all you really want to be treated? You want to be treated fairly, but you want a guy to be consistent. And he has been consistent because they have been asking and asking and asking since this trial started in beforehand. Please let Diddy go home. We'll do anything you want, give any money you want, any ankle monitoring, any security, just let him go home. And every turn the judge said, nope, nope, I am not convinced. This dude ain't a threat.
- [23:20]
A
He also, this was really powerful when the judge rejected the idea and that Diddy was a casual consumer of prostitution services. You know, they were trying to say that he was a John or an amateur porn producer, whatever they were trying to say. But the judge said this. You were no John. You were more than that. Even if your currency was satisfying your sexual desires instead of money, that hit, because that was the big argument with the defense. He didn't profit from this. He didn't earn money from pros, from putting his girlfriends out or having some sort of prostitute. There was no. There was no financial gain from him for him. And so the judge said, your currency was satisfying your sexual desires. And honestly, that did ring true.
- [24:12]
B
And this is All Star starting to pile up. We were sitting and watching. We just. We had. And we want to say thank you to cbs, to cnn, to New York Times, New York Times at the NBC News, we had all five of yalls live feeds up, and we were depending on those reporters to give us info. So we want to say thank you to you all, and we're passing this stuff along. But as we were keeping up robes, the. The judge, like, our. We were like, holy hell, he is about to really throw the book at this guy. But then he took moments in what he was saying to acknowledge that Diddy is influential, that he is iconic, that he has been good to the community. So this is where it turned. And we thought, oh, maybe he's balancing this thing out. Maybe it won't be so bad.
- [24:59]
A
He acknowledged that it was impressive what he had been able to accomplish given the fact that his father had died an early violent death and the trauma that must have been left. So he was acknowledging what Diddy had been through as a child. But then he said his sentence was going to send a message to abusers and victims alike that exploitation and violence against women is met with real accountability. We were up and down like, he's gonna. He's gonna go, no, he's gonna go hard. Well, maybe he's gonna give him a break. Oh, my God. No, he's gonna throw the. We were back and forth because the judge really did cover so many different bases when he was leading up to the sentencing.
- [25:37]
B
I think a lot of people might have applauded that sentence you're making or that sentence and that sentiment. Like, I actually do need to send a message, legally speaking. Is that a part? I mean, the judge had discretion in what he could do. He knew the guidelines. But he, for whatever reason, thought it was important to say that. I know he acknowledged that everybody's watching this and think that these victims have not been heard, that haven't been respected. And he. He added that line, I think, to cover a lot of bases.
- [26:09]
A
He did. So, yes, he sentenced sean combs to 50 months. He imposed a fine of half a million dollars. But then I actually really loved what this judge did next. First, he addressed Cassie Ventura, and he says, and the other brave Survivors that came forward, I want to say first we heard you. I thought that was pretty cool. He said, I am proud of you for coming to the court and to tell the world what really happened. You weren't just speaking to the 12 folks in the jury box. You were speaking to the millions of women out there who have been victims, but who feel invisible and powerless and have had to suffer in silence. You gave them a voice. You stood up to power. It's not easy. You told those women in the world that violence behind closed doors doesn't have to stay hidden forever. The number of people who you reached is incalculable. There are millions of survivors out there. Most of those people will never speak up about their abuse. The consequences are often tragic, as they were in this case. I know you still bear the trauma of what happened to you. You likely always will. But what you've taught us here by coming forward is that even if you were a victim, you don't always have to be. That gave me chills.
- [27:23]
B
He didn't have to say that.
- [27:24]
A
That was powerful.
- [27:26]
B
He, he gets it. He didn't have to say that. He chose to say that, to say those words and not just to the women in this case. He sent that message to the women of this country.
- [27:36]
A
And as kind as he was to them and as reassuring he was to the people out there who are victims, he also then softened his tone towards Diddy next. And I thought that was also pretty cool for him to be able to strike that balance between both the victims and then Diddy himself. And he told Diddy, there is light at the end of this tunnel. You and your family will get through this. I thought that was a cool thing to say as well. Knowing and noting that Diddy was visibly disappointed and visibly upset about what had happened.
- [28:13]
B
Tough day for that family. And just an awful, I mean, awful couple of decades of experiences around Sean Diddy Combs, someone who, yes, I have looked up to since I was in high school and to be sitting here reporting about this, I think none of us expected anything like this, but it is a tragedy all around. Yeah, it's a tragedy. We talk about this with the story, with. They're raising money for the family of the shooter and. Right. There are victims all around, including a two year old baby whose daddy is going to. Who has been. Who's going to end up in prison more than she's been alive.
- [28:54]
A
Correct.
- [28:55]
B
By the time he gets out. Right. So there are victims all around. This is just a sad, awful story for everybody. Who do you feel Sorry for. You're not supposed to have sympathy for him. But this isn't. This is another. I'm thinking about all these stories and downfalls of powerful people. We've learned so much, and I. I don't know what we're going to get from this later, but, Robes, I have had some conversations here on the podcast with you about this story. I've had very. I've had private conversations with you about this, but they are. They are important conversations. And I don't know what we're going to do and what people are going to do with this because it was all jokes about baby oil and whatnot. This is such an important story and experience that we have all. All just done. We've witnessed. I mean, Cassie, the victims we went through. Who is really a victim? Like, what do we learn now that we can now apply to the next story and the next victim and the next person who speaks out? What can the next powerful man learn about this type of thing? You shouldn't have to learn from this. You shouldn't do this type of behavior. But I'm saying this is just. I'm kind of glad it's over, but I am hopeful but also nervous about the lessons that we're going to learn from it.
- [30:12]
A
It's funny you just said that, because I loved the judge's last line because it was hopeful and it was about lessons. He said directly to Diddy, you will have a chance to show your children and the world what real accountability, change and healing can look like. Court is adjourned.
- [30:34]
B
Man, it just doesn't have to start today with you being home.
- [30:40]

What a story. What life, what an experience, what an extraordinary individual. What a downfall. We say now, Rose, but the story isn't over. Is there a contribution Sean Diddy Combs can make to the community moving forward? The answer is yes. It actually is.
- [31:05]
A
Yeah.
- [31:06]
B
Whatever he decides to do. But in the interim, in the short term, one of the most iconic individuals to ever participate in hip hop is gone. It's over. It's done. That part of his life is over. What's the next part? Is it going to be a contribution?
- [31:25]
A
It could be a beautiful second half of his life.
- [31:27]
B
It could be.

A
He's 55. He'll be out when he's 57, 58. He has potentially another four decades to do good in the world and to be the man that he says he wants to be, that he's becoming through all of this. And we're rooting for him.
- [31:49]
B
Yeah. And probably people hear that and go, wait a minute. No, this is a human story. Cassie moved her family out of New York for fear of this guy. You got Jane, you got Mia. We've heard these horrific stories. Where do their lives go now? Do they feel a sense of relief? Or are they freaking out and circling the calendar of when he's going to get out? Because they're still worried. Lives were forever changed by this look, our lives. I could not believe we're sitting here, we. Our whole day has been this.
- [32:20]
A
Yes, but I have. I feel like I've been on a roller coaster. I know you have too, but I do feel like these are the moments where we can make a decision to learn from all of this, to learn from others mistakes, to reflect within, to think about the things we've done that we're not proud of and just choose to do better and be better. We're going to fall down. But I do think that I believe in redemption. I do believe in rehabilitation. I don't think anyone is a lost cause. Very few people, there are some, of course, But I do choose to believe that there could be good that comes out of this.

Well, folks, it has been a hell of a ride, but there you are. Sean Diddy Combs has been sentenced to 50 months in prison. That's four years and two months. He has served about 13, 14 months already. So he'll get credit for that time served. So that means about 33 years. He is expected to still be in prison. This has been a. At times, robes, those day in, day outs of the listening to the trial was hard to stomach.
- [33:24]
A
It was, it was. But we got through it. And I do think we're all the wiser for it. And I do think that those women, those very strong women, that is not easy to do what Cassie did, to do what Jane did, to do what the other victims did and under that kind of scrutiny, with that kind of pressure with the world watching about a man that a lot of people love, admire, respect and don't want to believe the worst of. Like that is a very tough position to be in. And I applaud them. And I hope that it doesn't deter anyone else who's the victim of abuse to come forward. Because I do feel like today's verdict was a victory in believing people when they talk about what they've been through and they have the courage to speak up and to speak out. And so I do think that we did gain a lot throughout this, even though it was a very difficult road to travel. So with that. Thank you for listening to us everyone. I'm Amy Robach alongside TJ Holmes. We'll talk to you soon.
