Host: Flo
Release Date: April 7, 2025
Introduction
In this riveting episode of The Flo Show, No Filter, host Flo delves deep into the tumultuous weekend developments surrounding Sean "Diddy" Combs and actor Terrence Howard. The episode not only dissects the latest legal indictments against Diddy but also explores broader issues plaguing the podcast industry, particularly the shift towards subscription-based models to preserve independent and unbiased media.
Diddy's Superseding Indictment
Flo opens the discussion by highlighting the explosive news that Diddy has faced a superseding indictment. This latest legal action adds significant weight to previous charges, expanding the number of accusations from three to five. The indictment alleges that Diddy engaged in sex trafficking with multiple women between 2021 and 2024, utilizing force, fraud, or coercion to compel women into commercial sex acts.
“[02:30] ...the indictment accuses Combs of using force, fraud or coercion to compel a woman to engage in commercial sex acts from at least 2021 to 2024.” – Flo
Flo breaks down the specifics of the charges, including the involvement of unidentified victims referred to as "victim one" and "victim two." She speculates that "victim two" is likely Brianna, a former fashion designer connected to Diddy through Cassie. The indictment details horrifying allegations, such as Diddy threatening to leave Brianna hanging over a balcony—a claim that Flo connects to prior lawsuits.
“[15:20] ...victim two was dangled over a balcony. When we look into Diddy's history, unless he's been hanging people over balconies like Suge Knight, we're talking about Brianna now.” – Flo
Terrence Howard's Revelation
Flo shifts focus to Terrence Howard’s recent revelations on The Patrick Bet-David Show, where Howard exposes Diddy's manipulative tactics within the entertainment industry. Howard describes attending what he refers to as "freak off parties," where industry leaders like Diddy psychologically exploit individuals, leading to long-lasting trauma despite their fame and wealth.
“[25:00] Terrence said people go there, they lose their soul, and then, you know, Diddy is the puppet master.” – Flo
Howard recounts a personal encounter with Diddy, where he was ostensibly invited for acting lessons but was instead subjected to unwanted advances. This incident underscores the pattern of behavior that Flo argues is consistent with the broader allegations against Diddy.
“[29:45] ...Diddy said, Terence, I need some acting lessons. I'm trying to do movies... Diddy just staring at him like a piece of meat.” – Flo
Patterns of Diddy's Behavior
Flo meticulously connects the dots between various allegations, illustrating a recurring pattern in Diddy's interactions with aspiring individuals in the industry. Whether promising acting lessons, music deals, or fashion assistance, Flo posits that Diddy leverages these opportunities to exploit and manipulate.
Examples include:
- Terence Howard, who received a misleading invitation under the guise of professional growth.
- Brianna, who was promised support in fashion but instead faced threats and coercion.
- Cassie, introduced by Flo as another victim who sought a record deal but was exploited.
“[35:10] ...if Diddy would try Terence Howard, you don't think he'll try someone working at Walmart with rap dreams?” – Flo
Flo emphasizes that these manipulative tactics are not isolated incidents but part of a systemic issue within the industry, perpetuated by powerful figures like Diddy.
Shift in the Podcast Industry Towards Subscriptions
Transitioning from the Diddy saga, Flo addresses a significant shift within the podcasting landscape: the move towards subscription-based models. She laments that major podcasts are now echoing her long-held belief that subscriptions are essential for maintaining independent and unbiased content.
“[50:22] ...there is a war against independent podcasters and YouTubers because we are winning...” – Flo
Flo cites prominent podcasts like No Jumper and the Joe Button Show, which have been around for nearly a decade, as adopting subscription models to safeguard their content from corporate and social media platform dependencies.
“[58:14] We are really trying to get serious about embracing our members here on YouTube... supporting the business...” – Flo
This shift, Flo argues, validates her early advocacy for subscriptions as a means to ensure the survival of truthful and unfiltered media voices.
Impact on Independent Media and Suppression by Major Outlets
Flo discusses the tension between independent podcasters and larger media outlets, suggesting that mainstream platforms are beginning to suppress or co-opt independent narratives that challenge established power structures.
She observes that when she breaks down stories about Diddy, major outlets like TMZ quickly adopt similar narratives, often aligning with her perspectives.
“[59:00] These ain't coincidences. Like, first of all, TMZ don't even break news like that on no Sunday or at all...” – Flo
Flo portrays this as evidence of a silent war where independent creators are pushing back against dominant media entities, striving to keep content untainted by corporate influence.
30 Days of Diddy Campaign
Highlighting her proactive approach, Flo introduces her 30 Days of Diddy social media campaign. This initiative involves daily storytelling on platforms like TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, dissecting various aspects of Diddy's alleged misconduct leading up to his trial on May 5th.
“[10:15] I'm doing 30 Days of Diddy for all the social media people... two more days left.” – Flo
The campaign aims to build awareness and encourage her audience to support independent journalism by subscribing to podcasts that prioritize truth over sensationalism.
Conclusion
In wrapping up the episode, Flo reemphasizes the critical role of subscriptions in sustaining independent media. She credits her subscribers for enabling her to continue uncovering and presenting hard-hitting truths about industry predators like Diddy.
“[61:30] Nothing means more to this podcast than the subscribers. Without them, we don't have.” – Flo
Flo calls on her listeners to support not just her podcast but also other truth-telling platforms by subscribing, ensuring that unbiased and unfiltered news continues to thrive amidst a challenging media environment.
