What is daddication?
Ryan
The thing that drives me every day as a dad is Dariona. We call him Dae Date for short. Every day he's hungry for something, whether it's attention, affection, knowledge. And there's this huge responsibility in making sure that when he's no longer under my wing that he's a good person. I want him to be able to sit back one day and go, we worked together. We did a good job.

A look back at the most prolific.

Stories of the week.
Tony Bruski
This is continuing coverage of United States vs Sean Diddy Combs from the Hidden Killers Podcast and True Crime today. This is continuing coverage of United States vs Sean Diddy Combs from the Hidden Killers podcast and true crime today.
Ryan
Oh, indeed it. As we continue to go into the dark world of Mr. Diddler. So picture this, Sean Diddy Combs sitting in a Manhattan federal courthouse, watching your former personal assistant testify about buying cocaine from someone named Baby Girl, while Kanye west randomly shows up in the overflow room wearing all white like he's attending a yacht party.
Riley Herbst
You know, I'm sorry, but your. Your choice of attire I think is important, don't you think?
Ryan
Yeah, the yacht party attire kind of weird when you're not at the yacht party.
Riley Herbst
Yeah. Yeah. I would expect Michael McDonald to pop out at any given moment.
Ryan
You know, maybe that's what he's going for. You know, maybe now that he's not a Nazi anymore. Now he's. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, he's just.
Riley Herbst
Yeah. What happened to that? He was all.
Ryan
I don't know, he wouldn't. Now he's apparently, like, maybe he's doing the smooth vibes and, I don't know. The man's. There's something. We're watching a man that's slowly dying and, like, it's a sideshow. Anyway, the at that. This is all really what passes for a normal week in what might be the most surreal criminal trial of the decade. Talking about June 12th. I'm gonna go back in time and get you caught up a little bit up to today. And honestly, these last five days have packed more drama than the entire season of reality tv. But here's one thing that gets me. While everyone's focused on the celebrity circus, the prosecution is methodically building a case that could put one of hip hop's biggest moguls away for life. The charges aren't just serious. They're the kind that make your stomach drop. Racketeering, conspiracy, and sex trafficking. We're not talking about tax evasion, fraud here. This is human trafficking territory. Let me start with the moment that had everyone in the courtroom holding their breath. A woman testifying under the pseudonym Jane. Because apparently, even in 2025, we're still protecting victims identities in sex trafficking cases. Good. Finishing six days of testimony by doing something absolutely unprecedented. She walks over and hugs both the prosecutor and the defense attorney. Think about that for a second. When was the last time you saw someone hug their cross examiner?
Riley Herbst
I think there's a sense of relief that this is finally getting out into the open, into the light.
Ryan
I think that's probably what you got going on there. But here's what makes the hug very significant. Jane had just spent days describing what prosecutors call Freak offs. Allegedly forced sexual encounters that Combs orchestrated and filmed. She testified that she'd Gladly return over $150,000 in gift and financial support if it meant never participating in what Combs allegedly called hotel nights again. That's not pocket change we're talking about. That's a house down payment, a luxury car, a year of college tuition. And she's saying she'd give it all back to escape what she experienced. The defense tried everything to discredit her. They painted her as financially motivated, pointed out inconsistencies, highlighted her continued relationship with Combs after those alleged incidents. But then came a big moment. Jane glaring directly at Combs before embracing his defense team. You can't fake that kind of emotional complexity. That's someone who's been through hell and somehow found a way to show grace to the people trying to tear her apart. And her testimony. Here's where things get weird. And I mean David lynch weird. Right after this emotionally devastating testimony ends, the prosecution wheels out six firearms seized from Combs Los Angeles mansion. Talking about AR15 rifle parts with defaced serial numbers found near lubricants and drugs allegedly used in those freak off sessions. The juxtaposition is jarring. One minute you're processing human trauma, the next you're staring at assault weapons and were apparently stored like party supplies. The defense tries to normalize this by pointing out the guns were properly secured in a locked room managed by professional security staff. Because apparently, when you're Sean Combs, having a private armory is just good business sense. The prosecution's not buying it, though. They're painting a picture of a criminal enterprise where weapons, drugs and sexual coercion all existed under one roof. Enter Jonathan Perez Combs, former personal assistant who gets immunity and proceeds to burn down everything inside. This guy testifies about procuring cocaine, Ketamine, Molly, Adderall and Xanax from dealers with street names that sound like rejected Pokemon characters. Guido and Baby Girl. I'm not making any of this up here. Perez shows text messages proving he sent $700 to Guido for drugs. Because apparently even drug dealers take Venmo now. But here's what's brilliant about the defense strategy. They got Perez to admit that all this drug procurement and party planning represented only 1% of his job duties. 1%. Essentially arguing that running an alleged criminal enterprise was just a side hustle for Combs. Like how some people sell essential oils on Facebook. It's clever. It's a very clever move that could seriously undermine the prosecution's racketeering theory. The really disturbing detail comes when Perez testifies about staff finding a sex tape featuring Jane on a business iPad. The employee who discovered it allegedly freaked out. Which seems like appropriate in response to accidentally stumbling upon your boss's alleged trafficking evidence during a routine work task. It's another piece of the pattern prosecutors are building in this case. The complete integration of alleged criminal activity into everyday business operations. Then we get to the juror drama, which honestly kind of feels like something out of a legal thriller. Judge Aaron Submaranium dismissed juror number six, a 41 year old black corrections officer, for allegedly lying about his residence. The defense went ballistic, arguing this makes the jury less diverse by replacing a middle aged black man with a middle aged white architect from Westchester. Defense attorney.
Tony Bruski
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who?
Ryan
Yeah.
Riley Herbst
Did you just do what I just did?
Ryan
What?
Riley Herbst
Repeat that last line.
Tony Bruski
The.
Riley Herbst
A middle aged white architect from Westchester. Rex.
Ryan
No, it's not Rex.
Riley Herbst
Okay?
Ryan
Rex was not from Westchester. Rex was. And he wasn't in his 40s.
Riley Herbst
Well, middle age.
Ryan
Where was he from? Massapequa Park.
Riley Herbst
Okay, well, I just, you know.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah.
Riley Herbst
Guy might want a job while he's sitting in jail waiting for his trial.
Ryan
You never know. You never know where we're, you know, friends of Diddy may be. Defense attorney Xavier Donaldson isn't subtle about the optics here. He's essentially arguing that removing one of the few black jurors in a case involving involving a prominent black defendant creates appeal worthy issues. The judge isn't having it though. He cites deception and lying that affects the veracity of other answers, including the questions that go to the heat of the case. You have to wonder at a trial where jury composition could determine the outcome, how much scrutiny about this should residents claims really get? The defense is probably already drafting the appeal brief based on this decision alone. And here's another thing that kind of becomes absurd. More than more absurd than satire. Kanye west showed up, not metaphorically, literally. Ye rolled up to federal court in a black Mercedes Maybach dressed in all white. Like he's heading to the Mediterranean for a little retreat with combs son Christian in tow. Spends 40 minutes watching proceedings from the overflow room because he's not on the visitor list for the main courtroom. Then he leaves without talking to anyone. Why?
Riley Herbst
Why are you there? Why was he there?
Ryan
Because he's nuts. West been dealing with his own legal and personal issues as of late. Of course, his career has been in free fall for years. And then he decides to make it a smart move to publicly associate himself with someone on trial for Sex trafficking. See their loyalty taken to an irrational extreme. Or the kind of impulse decision making that explains a whole lot about West's recent trajectory. The judge, meanwhile, is running the tight courtroom when he catches Combs nodding vigorously at the jury during testimony. Some Iranian threatened to remove him entirely. A federal judge essentially telling the defendant to stop making faces or he's gonna be watching his own trial on closed circuit tv.
Riley Herbst
See, I would have such a problem. Everything is on my face. Like, I don't have a poker face. I can't play poker.
Ryan
Well, you can react, but you. But you can't be like looking at the jurors, glaring at them, reacting.
Riley Herbst
I would. I would totally do that.
Ryan
You would look at the jurors?
Riley Herbst
Yeah, I'd be like, I would. I know you can't see this if you're just listening to audio, but I'd be like, you know.
Ryan
Yeah, you'd get kicked out.
Riley Herbst
I know I would. I'd be in shackles. I'd be worse than Lori Valo. There's no way I could keep my. My expressions and my eye rolling and eyebrows up. Yeah, that's who I am. I can't change that.
Ryan
Well, the week wrapped up. Last week, prosecutors announced that they're not calling Krista Corum Combs, longtime chief of staff who's been portrayed as a central figure in the alleged enterprise. Instead, they're moving towards their final witness summary. Experts, former assistant Brendan Paul in additional law enforcement translation. They think they've proven their case and they're wrapping up before the defense can muddy the waters further. We're watching what happens next. It's going to be interesting as the defense takes their place at the stage their strategy is pretty clear. Point this as consensual adult behavior gone wrong. Highlight potential financial motivations of accusers and separate Combs personal indiscretions from criminal enterprise activ. That's what they're going to try and do. They need to convince just one juror that what happened was morally questionable but not criminally prosecutable. So what happens next? That's the. That's the big question. But that's where things are sitting as of right now.
Riley Herbst
Wow. It's a lot. It's a lot. I personally. Okay. I think he's going to be guilty of something.
Ryan
Yeah.
Riley Herbst
Don't you?
Ryan
Yeah.
Riley Herbst
There's so much evidence here. I mean, we could sit and rehash this over and over again, but I just.
Ryan
Yeah. The CASSIE charges.
Riley Herbst
Evidence.
Ryan
Yeah. The CASSIE charges he's going down with for sure.
Riley Herbst
Yes, yes, yes. The rest of it might just be gravy at this point.
Ryan
Yeah. I mean, yeah, that's the fact that they're not calling other witnesses. I mean, that's okay. I mean, nothing's a sure deal, but that's okay.
Riley Herbst
Feels like it.
Ryan
You're sure?
Riley Herbst
They must feel that this is a tightly locked up case, that what they're presenting is enough.
Ryan
Well, you got another defense is going to go next, and then you'll get the rebuttal if they want to. So I suppose if they do need it, they could. Maybe they'll keep that chief of staff as an ace in the pocket if they need it. After the defense goes. I can't imagine. I really wonder how much of a defense is going to be put up here. Or is less going to be more at this point? Because if you start to really argue some of this completely indefensible behavior too much, I think that'll piss jurors off even more.
Riley Herbst
Mm. Well, you know, and again, something that we talked about with the Karen Reed trial. This is a long time out of somebody's life, especially during the summer. Who knows who these people are? This might be their free time. This might be time with their kids. This. Oh, yeah, this is valuable time. So don't piss off your jurors.
Ryan
Yeah.
Riley Herbst
You know, these are human beings with families. This is valuable time. You're not making a shit ton of money off of this.
Ryan
But they're given that much of their time to. To deal with this and subject themselves to this.
Riley Herbst
That's the other thing. There's some trauma that, you know, some people are probably experiencing after hearing these stories.
Ryan
Well, that. And I just. I don't know. I would be really concerned about harassment. I mean, from crazy people. It sounds like there's a huge movement that's on the side of Diddy here, but, you know, there's some crazies out there that, you know, may be very, very dedicated to, you know, targeting people that could take down their Diddy. Just. Just be. I wouldn't like that. I mean, it's not obviously such a high profile trial you want. You're putting yourself at risk.
Riley Herbst
Yeah.
Ryan
By taking it on and, you know, very much so. It's good that there's people who are willing to do that, so.
Riley Herbst
Oh, it's. It's. It's a very good thing. It's. I just. I can't imagine the aftermath for some of these jurors.
Ryan
No.
Riley Herbst
I just can't. They're. The stories that they're listening to, the things that they're seeing, you know, we, as the public, we aren't seeing it because none of this is. Is publicized. No televised, I should say. That's a lot for some. They're witnessing somebody else's trauma. That's hard. It's really hard.
Tony Bruski
Yeah.
Ryan
The emotional impact that it's making on them as human beings. I mean, and that's the thing. I mean, you're trying to render a verdict by the letter of the law, not your emotions. But people are people, and it will.
Riley Herbst
Play in, you know, they've got daughters. Yeah, just. This is gross.
Ryan
Did you see his. His kids put out a lovely Father's Day message on the Facebooks or I think it was Twitter, actually. Just heartfelt, just, you know, love you, Pops, no matter what. And it's like, guys, run. Start getting therapy and just. Just run.
Riley Herbst
Well, it's all they know. That's their day.
Ryan
I know. I know. That is all they know.
Riley Herbst
Sad and tragic.
Ryan
I mean, and even some of them have their own charges that have been brought against them. I believe civilly. I would not be surprised if they end up in prison, you know, not too long after Pops.
Riley Herbst
Well, then they can celebrate Father's Day together.
Ryan
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure that they could. They could probably do that. So there you go. That's how it will all. You know, honestly, within five years, that's probably how this is going to end. Everybody together for the holidays. A very ditty Christmas. It'll be a. It'll be a special on Hallmark. On Hallmark, yes. Live from the pen. It's a very diddy Christmas. Him and his kids, they'll perform on the stage. Love. Special guests, you know, with a special.
Riley Herbst
Baby oil ornaments on the tree.
Ryan
Special appearance from Alec Murdaugh.
Riley Herbst
And there you go.
Ryan
And other all star true crime all stars. The true crime all star cast of A Very ditty Christmas. Damn. You know what? I want to make this on AI and make a commercial for it.
Tony Bruski
You should.
Riley Herbst
You absolutely should.
Ryan
This would be a really fun one to do. A very ditty Christmas.
Riley Herbst
I think you're onto something here.
Ryan
Oh, that's what I'm going to be doing shortly. I. Yeah, there you go. No verdict in the Karen Reed trial as of yet. They went home for a day and they had all weekend, came back, nothing Monday. That doesn't bode well for Karen Reed because if it was not guilty, they'd probably already be there.
Riley Herbst
Yeah, I suppose after, you know, seven hours of deliberation, they would totally throw in the towel and go, okay, we're out.
Ryan
And you have five options of how to sentence her. And I know they don't like that at all because it guarantees. Like I said, it guarantees the drunk driving one. Then it's again, how far up the lane are you gonna go? I believe. If you believe that she struck him. If you believe that she struck him, it is murder. It's second degree murder. Because of the drunkenness. Because the reckless is the other half. So the drunkenness. And there's. The other part would be flooring it at that type of a speed on a residential street. That would also be considered extremely reckless behavior. And she knew that he just got out of the car. So it just automatically makes it second degree murder.
Riley Herbst
Technically, it really does.
Ryan
Technically, it does. It's not a. Let's debate it. It's just that is second degree murder.
Riley Herbst
Do you. I forgot. Are we talking about, like, life in prison kind of a thing?
Ryan
No, I don't know the exact possibilities, but we're probably talking like 15, 25 years. You know, at a minimum, if it's second degree.
Riley Herbst
Okay.
Ryan
I could be. I could be wrong, but yeah. So we'll see. We're a day in how long?
Riley Herbst
Well, I have written down Thursday for you. You estimated Thursday. And I said Wednesday.
Ryan
Okay.
Riley Herbst
It's on my little sticky note from last week.
Ryan
But I said that's when they would go to the jury. So I was. Damn it.
Riley Herbst
You remembered that? Because as I said that out loud, I'm like, wait a minute. That's when we thought this would wrap up. So do we need to redo this?
Ryan
Yeah, I think we. It's a new one now. Because you would have won that one because you were closer to it. Starting the deliberation.
Riley Herbst
Okay, so what do you think? What's the day? Oh, you're really thinking about this.
Ryan
I think it's tomorrow or Wednesday.
Riley Herbst
Oh, my.
Ryan
Or Tuesday or Wednesday is what I.
Riley Herbst
Okay, so Tuesday or Wednesday. All right, well, I think Thursday.
Ryan
Okay. I don't think I'm allowed to pick two days, but I. I'll let you have two days. I'm kind of leaning more towards to Tuesday. So if you're watching this in the morning today. Because again, I think they want to get out of there. I mean, unless there's somebody in there that's holding this up and it'll be. Yeah. And there could be. There very well could be. Then we get to do it all over again.
Riley Herbst
Oh.
Ryan
I don't know that I would. I don't know that I would. I mean, I think I'd cover it, but I don't know that I could. You know, I don't know. This has just been exhausting.
Riley Herbst
It has been. And we're not even part of it. You know, can you imagine? Not that I want to have any sympathy, but I can't imagine being Karen Reed. I get anxious when I'm waiting for my cat's lab results. Like, I can't sleep and my heart's racing. I can't imagine what she went through this weekend. And I understand there is a gentleman who's dead. I get that. But I'm saying she is a living creature. And I'm just thinking of what it's like for her this entire weekend. Like, you wake up Saturday morning and think, I'm gonna go make some coffee. Oh, shit, there's. There's a group of people who are going to decide my fate. It's a lot to think about.
Ryan
I don't think that she's operating that way. I think it's more like there's a group of people with pink shirts on. Oh, adore me. Give me an ego bath. I think that far overwhelms any sense of remorse or even her brain, allowing her to think of those things as a possibility anymore. And maybe she's made peace with it, too. I would imagine by this point she's probably made peace with it of like, well, if it happens, it happens. But who knows? Who knows? It could be an absolute shocker to her because I think she likes to drink her own Kool Aid, so.
Riley Herbst
Could be.
Ryan
I don't know. I don't know.
Riley Herbst
I would be lying in bed in the fetal position all weekend. Like popping down a drill to keep myself asleep.
Ryan
Yeah, I'm highly doubting that's how she spent the weekend. I'm going to guess there was probably a couple bottles of vodka involved and I think so. Which for most people would then put you in the fetal position. I don't know that that affects her the same way. Yeah. So there you go. All right, That's. That's the latest. We will talk again real soon.

Summary of "Diddy's $150K Gifts to Trafficking Victim - Why She'd Return Every Dollar - WEEK IN REVIEW"
Podcast: The Downfall Of Diddy | The Case Against Sean 'Puffy P Diddy' Combs
Host: Tony Brueski, True Crime Today
Release Date: June 22, 2025
In this gripping episode of "The Downfall Of Diddy," Tony Brueski delves deep into the ongoing legal battle against Sean "P Diddy" Combs. The episode, titled "Diddy's $150K Gifts to Trafficking Victim - Why She'd Return Every Dollar - WEEK IN REVIEW," offers a comprehensive analysis of the court proceedings, testimonies, and courtroom dynamics that have captivated the public and true crime enthusiasts alike.
The episode provides an overview of the serious charges facing Diddy, including racketeering, conspiracy, and sex trafficking. Unlike minor financial crimes, these allegations paint a picture of a vast and disturbing criminal enterprise intertwined with one of hip-hop's most influential figures.
Notable Quote:
"The charges aren't just serious. They're the kind that make your stomach drop. Racketeering, conspiracy, and sex trafficking." ([02:54])
A pivotal moment in the trial was the testimony of a woman referred to as "Jane," who testified under a pseudonym to protect her identity. Jane described harrowing experiences of being coerced into sexual encounters orchestrated and filmed by Combs. Despite the trauma, she expressed a willingness to return over $150,000 in gifts and financial support to escape the situation.
Notable Quote:
"She testified that she'd gladly return over $150,000 in gift and financial support if it meant never participating in what Combs allegedly called hotel nights again." ([04:58])
Her unexpected gesture of hugging both the prosecutor and the defense attorney left a significant impact, showcasing her complex emotional state and strength in the face of adversity.
Notable Quote:
"Jane glaring directly at Combs before embracing his defense team. You can't fake that kind of emotional complexity." ([07:00])
Jonathan Perez, a former personal assistant to Combs, testified after receiving immunity. He detailed the procurement of various drugs, including cocaine, Ketamine, Molly, Adderall, and Xanax, from street dealers with colorful aliases like "Guido" and "Baby Girl." He even exhibited text messages proving a $700 transaction to "Guido" for drugs.
Notable Quote:
"Perez shows text messages proving he sent $700 to Guido for drugs. Because apparently even drug dealers take Venmo now." ([07:08])
The defense team, led by attorney Xavier Donaldson, employed a strategic approach to undermine the prosecution's case. They attempted to portray Jane as financially motivated, highlighting inconsistencies in her testimony and her continued relationship with Combs post-allegations. Furthermore, they argued that the drug procurement activities represented only 1% of Perez's job duties, suggesting that any criminal activities were minor and not indicative of a larger enterprise.
Notable Quote:
"They're moving towards their final witness summary. They think they've proven their case and they're wrapping up before the defense can muddy the waters further." ([12:13])
The trial has been anything but ordinary, marked by surreal moments and intense courtroom drama:
Kanye West's Appearance: Kanye West made an unexpected appearance in the courthouse, dressed in all white and spending 40 minutes observing the proceedings from the overflow room without engaging.
Notable Quote:
"Ye rolled up to federal court in a black Mercedes Maybach dressed in all white like he's attending a yacht party." ([09:00])
Juror Dismissal: Judge Aaron Submaranium dismissed Juror Number Six, a 41-year-old black corrections officer, for allegedly lying about his residence. This decision sparked controversy as the defense argued it compromised jury diversity, especially important in a case involving a prominent black defendant.
Notable Quote:
"Defense attorney Xavier Donaldson isn't subtle about the optics here. He's essentially arguing that removing one of the few black jurors... creates appeal-worthy issues." ([09:09])
Diddy's Demeanor: During testimonies, Diddy was observed nodding vigorously and making faces at the jury, prompting the judge to warn him against such behavior or risk having his trial monitored via closed-circuit television.
Notable Quote:
"The judge isn't having it though. He cites deception and lying that affects the veracity of other answers." ([10:51])
The episode highlights the emotional toll on those involved in the trial, particularly jurors who are exposed to harrowing testimonies about human trafficking and abuse. The hosts express concern over the potential harassment and psychological effects jurors might face due to the high-profile nature of the case.
Notable Quote:
"The stories that they're listening to, the things that they're seeing, you know, we as the public, we aren't seeing it because none of this is publicized... They're witnessing somebody else's trauma. That's hard. It's really hard." ([16:52])
As the week concludes, the prosecution has moved towards concluding their witness presentations without calling key figures like Krista Corum Combs, the chief of staff depicted as central to the alleged criminal activities. The defense is poised to argue that the accusations stem from consensual adult behavior gone awry, aiming to sow reasonable doubt among jurors.
The hosts speculate on the impending verdict, expressing skepticism about the defense's ability to sway the jury given the mounting evidence. They also touch upon the broader implications of the trial for those connected to Combs, including his children who publicly support him despite the allegations.
Notable Quote:
"The CASSIE charges... he's going down with for sure. Yes, yes, yes. The rest of it might just be gravy at this point." ([13:35])

Through expert analysis, firsthand testimonies, and a critical look at courtroom strategies, the episode provides listeners with a comprehensive understanding of the complexities surrounding Sean "P Diddy" Combs' legal woes.
