Welcome to the Flow show no Filter. Join us every day at 7:30am Monday through Friday. Or you could catch it anytime you want on Apple, Apple and Spotify. YouTube got a crazy one today, man. Shannon Sharp. Diddy. Mo Diddy and Mo Diddy and Mo. Shannon. This sexual assault lawsuits are getting out of control. I don't know who's to blame, but I just know I don't like it. It's just too much, too many. And you know, you got victims, but in the midst of the victims, you got hidden agendas by different people. So many of my listeners and people who follow me on social media have hit me up with the same kind of like the same vibe of saying, like, at this point, we don't know who to believe, who to, who's bad, who's good, who can we trust? We are just in the crowd watching. And I'm in the crowd with y'all. At this point, I don't really know what to say. Well, you know what? I'm a. One thing I am going to do is tell you what I think and say whatever come from my heart. Oh, man. So Diddy, let's go. Diddy scored a major win today. Oh, well, he scored a major win this week in court with Cassie. We gonna talk a little bit about that. But Shannon Sharp is dominating the media airwaves right now. So, you know, we gotta talk about that. Just sad, y'all. And, and, and the Shannon Sharp situation. I'm gonna tell you, you don't. You don't even have to get into if you think she. She's telling the truth or if it's a. If it's a money grab that's going to be decided in the courts. But what it is is a lesson. You can't. You know, when you play in the mud, my family used to always tell me, if you play in the mud, you're going to get dirty. And disappointing. Disappointing to me to see Shannon in this position because he should know better. He's had previous, previous altercations with women that led to restraining orders and all type of stuff. We're going to get into that. And I'm a place. Shannon's statement and it's just, it's just disappointing. Like I said, I'm a big Shannon Sharpe fan. I, I look, I won't say I look up to him, but I hold him in a high regard. And to think that he is texting and going back and forth and arguing with a 19 or 20 year old when he's almost 60 is just disappointing. And here we are, Diddy, we gonna get into his major win first. Because you know one thing about it, we have been together on this journey of this podcast and of this Diddy trial. So no, I don't care what comes up. That is kind of the first thing we're going to get out the way is the Diddy situation. But the Shannon Sharp is. It's really, really, really sad actually. You know, if, if he, if he really did rape this woman, it's foul. And even if he didn't, his, his indiscretions and his bad decisions led to what's going on right now. So we're gonna get into that today. Welcome to everybody. Great day to you. Monique Kingdom said it's crazy. It definitely is. C Tuck says good morning to everybody in the flow flowing crew. Make sure y'all like the live and everything. So. And also, Flo's Kitchen is open today, but I'm gonna save it for the end. And I gotta say something about this Aries Spears jerk. I'm trying to be light with my words. Aries Spears just came for my city, Cleveland, and I'm gonna save it for the end because we need to get to the real stuff right now. But Aries Spears, please y'all share this to him. Anybody I got, I'm going in on him at the end of this show. He pissed me off. Don't come from my city. Y'all know I love my city, Cleveland. Born and raised. I'm a Cleveland boy at heart. Cleveland. The reason why y'all hear me is because of the Cleveland in me. Because a Cleveland person, we don't stop and we real. We don't care about no glitz and glamour. We don't care about none of that. I'm gonna get into that though. But let's start off with this major win that Diddy had before I get into Aries Spears jerk ass. So what's the major win, y'all? We gotta talk about it. Diddy secure. I'm take this from msn. Diddy secures a early look at Cassie's memoir drafts in federal court battle ahead of May trial. So if you know Diddy was trying to get his. Her bank statements, Cassie's bank statements, because he's. He felt that they would show that he. That he. She was paid off large sums of money from liquor companies to bring Diddy down. And the judge said no to the bank statements, but he said yes to this memoir. And a lot of people thinking there are some things in this memoir that may help Diddy's case. I don't know. I haven't seen the memoir, heard anything from it, but we're going to dig into this article and see what we find, y'all. So the article goes on. Sean Diddy Combs has been granted access to early drafts of a memoir believed to be authored by singer Cassie Ventura. This is following a recent ruling by Judge Subramanian. Now, y'all, in this memoir, many people believe and are speculating that there are some things in the memoir that will prove that this was a shakedown from Cassie or that Cassie was just in it for the money. I don't know. I'm just telling you what Diddy's side is saying. And they also believe it would be damaging to her. Her. Her testimony. Let's continue. The ruling, which was part of Diddy's active, active federal case, orders that the previously submitted unpublished copies be delivered to his attorneys by April 25, which would be Friday. So they have to Friday to turn over this memoir. Now, this decision is a legal win for Diddy, albeit a small one, but it nevertheless, it is a victory. Diddy's former fling, they call her. In the article, Cassie Ventura is said to be a key witness for the government and is expected to take the stand at trial. The rapper has repeatedly denied any abuse of Ventur and also claims everything was consensual. We beg to differ, but that's neither here nor there. Anna Esteveo, an attorney for Diddy, you know, he has about 3,000 attorneys. This is. This is another attorney for Diddy told the court that discrepancies between Ventura's manuscript and statements given to her could be key to attacking her credibility. So what they're looking to depict in here, guys, is they want to look at things that she's told prosecutors or things that she has put in her, you know, in her written statements and stuff like and so on and so forth. Well, they believe there are discrepancies. They believe that she's saying one thing in the book and a whole nother thing in this case. Are they correct? We shall see. We're getting close to court time. Just breaking it down for y'all now. Prosecutors have lost on this one. The draft manuscript contradicts Ventura's current statements and is crucial to the defense said by Diddy. Diddy's team. Ventura's lawyers and federal prosecutors had previously sought to keep the defense from reviewing the documents. See prosecutors knew that this could muddy the water a bit and also they also trying to protect the victim because they don't want the victim to get dug into and get humiliated on the stand because you know Diddy's defense is going to throw everything and the kitchen sink at Cassie and try to discredit her. That's what defense attorneys do. And so they didn't want this book to come out because now this is just something that they'll be able to dice up and, and, and, and chop up and try to paint narratives. You know, the whole game. Now the prosecutors opinion was that granting Diddy access to look at the drafts would be an invasion of privacy and irrelevant to the criminal proceedings. Just like I said, they know it's going to, the defense is going to twist the words around and try to make Cassie to look out like a money hungry liar. And actually the memoirs don't serve any purpose in this particular case. But at any rate, like I told you before, the defense is going to throw anything and everything at the wall and see what sticks. Actually so far nothing has stuck but they will continue. But despite what the prosecution said, Judge Subramanian found that the defense can access, only, can have access only to the drafts already in the hands of the government. So nothing outside of no, no personal drafts or anything like that. The only drafts they can have access to is, is what was provided to the government. Now the remaining requests for additional material, including Ventura's diaries, emails, financial records and notes were denied. Now the lawsuit itself has unfolded into a full view, into full view of the public. Especially after surveillance camera footage was released showing Diddy punching Ventura in a loss Angeles hotel. The release of the video earlier this year caused nationwide outrage and led Diddy to make a public statement where he took full responsibility for his actions. And we all know now he's not taking full responsibility. His team is saying the, the, the, the, the, the, the footage was sped up which made him look like he was more violent, was more violent than he actually was. They even said he looked fat in it because it was an iPhone 6. They said it was chopped up in the timestamps, didn't show the sequence of events. And to that I say if I punched you first and then I kicked you second but the video shows that I kicked you first and I punched you second, does that mean I'm free? Does that get me off? I'm asking y'all, if I slam you first and then I throw a vase on your head next. But in the video we show me hitting you with the vase first and then I slam you, does that mean those slams and those. That violence didn't happen? Or does it mean it was any less harmful because of the sequence of events? I don't know. That's just my common sense talking and saying, I don't think so. Just another thing that they've thrown against the wall that I don't think has stuck. You be the judge. Now, the other looming issue is whether or not the video will be allowed in as evidence. Judge Subramanian has yet to rule on that. You know, I've been watching that like a fucking hawk, and he hasn't ruled on that yet. But his ruling could also exert considerable influence on this trial. I don't know if he's going to rule on it on Friday. I don't know when he's going to rule on it. But I know at some point he will rule on that video, and that is very damaging for Diddy. Great. Great point, Sherry. Sherry says until till DV is better understood and the grave effects it has on the brain survivors will continue to be abused over and over by the justice system, the politic. I'm sorry, the police. And they're perpetrators. This is a big deal for me. I'm with you, Sherry, on that. The system is broken in a lot of different ways. It's broken for my community, is broken for women who have been victim of domestic violence. It definitely needs to be fixed. I don't know exactly how to fix it, but I just know it needs to be fixed. It's kind of like a car. I'm not a fucking mechanic. But when it won't start up, I know it needs to be fixed, but do I know how to fix it? Hell, no. But I ain't a mechanic, so that's the mechanic's job. And that's the government's job to get this shit together. Because I agree wholeheartedly with Sherry. It's. It's a broken system. Let me move on. We have to. But as far as we can't do anything about it. So this. This is going to be a very hard trial for many of y'all to watch and listen to or even to cover. I mean, it's. It's. It's. You already see where we're going and I think Sherry knows it and sees that this will get nasty. And I'm going to tell you it's going to get nasty because for one on one hand, Diddy has already proved he doesn't care and he's fighting for his freedom, which if we just being honest, anybody is going to do anything they can to fight for their freedom. And in doing that, you are going to see victims or alleged victims embarrassed, humiliated. And it's not going to be for the faint of heart. At any rate, like I said, I will definitely continue to keep a close eye on, on the evidence. I'm waiting on a ruling, I'm waiting on the ruling of is the video evidence of Cassie being hit and beat on, is that going to be admitted? As soon as I get word on that, I will not only talk about it on the podcast, but if you follow me on social media, I will immediately do a breaking news video on that. Now, to the other man of the hours, Mr. Shannon Sharp. This is sad. This is, this was avoidable. No matter what actually went on. The courts will decide that. But this could have been easily avoidable. Shannon Sharp went. Shannon Sharp could have avoided this. And, and the sad thing is, y'all know I'm, I get into the backstory. You know, everybody else just talks about what's on the surface and gets clicks and views. Y'all know I take a deep dive and, and I really look into it and I like to see the root or, or the root of a problem or not even just the root of a problem, but I like to see is there any, were there any warning signs to this particular person before. And before I get into Shannon Sharp offered the accuser that's accusing him of sexual assault. To give you a little background, Shannon Sharp, the, the, the ex football player, the big time podcaster, ESPN First Take star. He is being sued for 50 million for rape of a 20 year old. He's in his mid-50s. Some of the updates to that are. It is now found out that he offered her $10 million and she declined, which doesn't look good for him. But not only that, Shannon Sharpe should have learned from a previous incident. Let's take it all the way back to 2010. Shannon Sharp was working for CBS after he retired. He actually replaced Deion Sanders as a sports analyst. Worked hard to get there. Then he started dating a female, or whatever they want to call it, dating whatever arrangement they had. Her name was Michelle Bundy. And as the old saying goes, it was all good until it wasn't Michelle Bundy this new woman that, that. This new woman that Shannon Sharp started dating or seeing or whatever you want to call it, ended up filing for a restraining order against Shannon Sharpe. Now what was this restraining order? What were the basis of this restraining order? Well, this restraining order claimed threats and also force, forced intimacies and things of that nature. Needless to say, Shannon Sharp had to take a leave of absence from CBS and was eventually let go because of this. But the crazy part is J. Just like this one. Well, I'm not going to say just like this one, but the previous one was sketchy. But let's dive into the details before I describe to you how sketchy this previous one was. But the thing is, you put yourself in these positions, you get what you ask for. So let's, let's dive into that. What happened? Well, Shannon Sharpe had to take a leave of absence because of a similar situation that's already happened. This, this is why I say he should have learned his lesson. He was fortunate enough to have this same exact scenario happen before. And so you can't bump your head on the same wall. So let's think. Well, okay, so it says Shannon Sharp, former all pro tight end, has taken a leave of absence from his job as NFL analyst of at CBS after having sexual assault allegations brought against him. Michelle Bundy received a temporary restraining order against Sharp after filing a petition under the family violence category. Sharp is alleged to have threatened Bundy's life and forced her to have sex, according to court documents. And then that was that forced Shannon Sharpe to leave CBS and take a leave of absence. Does this story sound familiar? But that is not where the story ends. You see, not too long after that, friends of Michelle Bundy came out and said she's a flat out liar and she is trying. It's a money grab. This is what her friend said. This is an actual article. So not too long after that, the restraining order was dismissed. And so now let's fast forward up to the. To what's going on. Now. See, this is why I say I'm not even here to argue about if he did, if he raped, if he didn't, I'm gonna let the courts and I'm gonna let more stuff come out to even get into that. But it's so much to unpack before we even get to that part. Anyway, this is why I say, whether he did it or not, he is at fault. And it's very disappointing. I've even heard people say, or people in my comments, only men in my comments say, well, she was legal. I don't see what the big deal is. Actually, one woman said that she said she's legal. So I'm confused. But my only reply to them, and nobody has yet to respond to my reply, I said, your daughter at 19 brings home a 56 year old man. You're not going to say anything. Are you going to be content with the she's legal? I haven't had one person tell me they would be fine with that. But see, one thing that a lot of us have a problem with and we don't and we don't do, and what I'm good at, which helps me do my job, is you got to put yourself in different people's shoes before you talk shit. My uncle Marv used to call it flipping it and he taught me that. He said if you want to look at, if you want to totally look at the total picture of a problem or issue or a story or anything, go from your take, take this, take your version or your perspective and then flip it and put yourself directly in that scenario. Then you will get an honest answer. So let me take a little further. It ain't your daughter, it ain't your sister, it ain't your nothing. So it's easy to sit back and don't even think of, don't even put too much thought in and say, hey, she's legal. I don't know what the big idea, what the big deal is, but the moment you put yourself in her father's shoes or her mother's shoes, or her brother's shoes, and you say your sister, your daughter comes home, she's 19, she's one year removed from high school, and she brings home a 56 year old man. What person in this world is not going to say something about that? Speak loud and see the reason why nobody answered that question when I asked them that. They just kind of floated off into the universe. Because if you follow me on social media, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm good at going in them comments and giving you some truth. And most of the time they run because I put you in a corner. Now you have to say, oh yeah, I would be good with that. But nobody wants to say that out loud. So kill the she's legal. Because we're not talking about legal, illegal age limits right here. We're talking about bad decisions, horrible decisions. And so here we are. And I'm gonna be flat honest, I'm not feeling Tony Busby. I wish victims going forward would find somebody else. Tony Busby. Has a whole mess he needs to clean up. It's been proven. And you know, I was, I actually was impressed early on when he did the desean Watson thing with Buzz because he made a believer out of me. But it's. Ever since then, the courts. I'm not talking about Jay Z. I'm not talking about. This is not my opinion. This is nobody's opinion. This is the courts. The courts have said he has been rushing to judgment. He has not vetted his clients. Good. He, he is operating in cases that he was not licensed for. This is all the court. This is not opinion. And so I'm hoping that going forward, victims or alleged victims will find another attorney. Because whether she is being honest or not, the fact that Tony Busby is handling it is damaging her case. That is the one saving grace that Shannon Sharp has right now. People are not taking anything Tony Busby brings serious right, seriously right now. But that even, that's not even the point. The point is even with Shannon. And I'm giving Shannon Sharp some tough love and some straightforward talk because he's good at doing it on his show. He's good at telling everybody what the fuck to do and not to do and how you shouldn't handle this and how you should handle that and all that shit. He's good at that. So sometimes now you got to sit your ass down, Shannon Sharp, and open up your fucking ears so you can learn something. Because I don't even like Shannon Sharp's response to these allegations. He's responding like a man who still hasn't learned his lesson and still doesn't realize what role you played in there. You talk. He, he. And I'm gonna play the clip. He, he called it a shakedown. But their shakedown doesn't re. It exists if you do what a 56 year old successful man should be doing. And if you're not doing it, you should at least be acknowledging the fact that, hey, I need to be somebody's husband. Riding off into the sunsp sunset and staying out of 20 year old worlds, Arguing with them and, and, and, and sexting and threatening and then now we got to decipher. Did you, did you say when you said you were gonna. I'm gonna get into it. Let me play the clips before I get too far ahead of myself. Let me play the clips and then we will take, and we'll take it from there. This is just, it's just crazy. But yeah, let me play these clips guys and then we'll, we'll get, we'll get to the meat of this. Like, I don't know, anything I say, you're just gonna like, get mad at and you're just gonna hang up on me. So I feel like I'm not gonna.
