Podcast Summary: The Flo Show, No Filter Episode: Diddy's Latest Defense: Redefining Prostitution Host: Flo Date: September 4, 2025
Episode Overview
In this unfiltered "Thirsty Thursday" episode, Flo brings his signature candor and humor to two headline stories dominating social media: Sean “Diddy” Combs’s extraordinary new legal strategy (attempting to redefine prostitution to invalidate his conviction) and the latest bold moves by Epstein victims seeking to create and release their own list of abusers. Throughout, Flo rails against perceived abuses of money and power in the justice system, offering his take on why both stories highlight deeper problems of accountability for the wealthy and well-connected.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Diddy’s ‘Delusional’ New Defense Strategy
- Flo’s Take: Frustration over Diddy’s legal tactics is front and center. Diddy is now arguing, post-conviction, that the federal prosecutors and the court have the “wrong definition of prostitution”—and therefore, his conviction under the Mann Act should be thrown out or he should receive a new trial.
- Flo, incredulous:
"He says he needs his own definition of prostitution...You a nerve, you nerve wrack. Every time you look around, Diddy got something stupid he didn't say. Now we gotta talk about it." (21:25)
- Flo, incredulous:
- Legal Argument Breakdown:
- Diddy’s lawyers argue the word “prostitution” is hopelessly vague and that, by today's definition, Combs’ conduct shouldn’t be criminal.
- They specifically assert that ‘paying someone to have sex with a third party’ isn’t covered by the relevant old statutes, and therefore, Diddy deserves acquittal.
- The defense even appeals to the 1910 (original) definition of “prostitute” (a woman who has sex outside marriage), contrasting it to today’s meaning (“sex for hire”).
- Flo’s Reaction and Satire:
- Flo lampoons the argument, equating it to letting any convicted criminal redefine the crime for which they were convicted.
- Memorable quote:
"Every criminal would love to redefine the definition of whatever they convicted of. ... What if [a murderer] say, you know what that definition of murder is from back in the day...? If I didn’t do it personally but I paid to have someone else do it, technically that’s not murder." (34:11)
- Memorable quote:
- Flo points to the absurdity and desperation behind this last-minute strategy, especially after prosecutors presented evidence that could lead to Diddy serving 10+ years.
-
"If you listen to what Diddy and his counsel are saying: they did nothing wrong. So what Diddy is telling this judge is... once you let me free, I will do all of this again." (1:09:04)

2. Judicial and Public Backlash
- Flo predicts: Diddy's continued legal shenanigans will only anger the judge further and increase the severity of his sentence.
- Flo to the Judge:
"Take this book—cock it all the way back to the back of the courtroom and hurl it towards Diddy’s big ass head with all your might." (42:50)
- Flo to the Judge:
- Accountability and Remorse: Judges typically consider remorse when sentencing—but Flo argues Diddy is broadcasting the exact opposite, almost daring the court to “throw the book at him.”
3. Media, Receipts, and Legal Precedent
- Flo consults both court documents and media reports (labeled "TM Sleazy," a jab at TMZ) to confirm the authenticity and outlandishness of Diddy's legal argument, highlighting the disconnect between public impression and the legal technicalities at play.
-
"His defense says the court should be using the 1910 definition of prostitution, not the 2025 definition. It's hard reading this crap. ... But it ain't easy reading this type of crap." (55:30)

4. Epstein Victims’ Press Conference and Quest for Justice
- Epstein Survivors Announce Action:
- A group of Jeffrey Epstein’s survivors held a press conference, vowing to publicly compile and release their own “list” of individuals involved, since (as Flo emphasizes) the official legal process has failed to bring transparency or accountability.
- Flo hails their courage while warning of real danger—from threats, bribery to potential violence—given the power of those implicated.
- Flo, solemnly:
"They are stepping into dangerous territory... when you go against the machine or you go against the elite, there is no telling how far these bastards will go to keep you silent." (1:30:11)
- Flo, solemnly:
- Public Skepticism and Realities:
- Some social media voices criticize the survivors for not naming names immediately, which Flo finds unfair and naive.
-
"You can't just go rattling off names, y’all... there could be gag orders, legalities—it ain’t just the Wild Wild West." (1:37:10)

- Personal Accounts Highlighted:
- Moving testimony included a woman forced out of high school due to the demands of constant ‘massages’—a glimpse into how deep and damaging the abuse went.
-
"The story of the immigrant woman who never got to finish high school really broke her heart. They had her doing so many back massages to these old men that she couldn't even finish school." (1:45:40)

5. Audience Interaction & Closing Predictions
- Flo runs live polls: on whether the Epstein survivors’ list will see daylight, with the audience split between hope and skepticism.
