The Flo Show, No Filter

Episode: Unpacking the Diddy Court Saga

Host: Flo

Date: September 25, 2025

Overview

This episode of The Flo Show, No Filter dives deep into the ongoing legal turmoil surrounding Sean "Diddy" Combs, focusing on his most recent court hearing and the eruption of a new lawsuit from his former stylist, Deontay Nash. Host Flo delivers an unfiltered, emotionally charged analysis of not only the key developments in Diddy’s legal saga, but also the broader failures of the prosecution’s case, especially their approach to victims and evidence during the trial.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Diddy's Court Appearance and Clothing Requests

(06:00 - 11:00)

• Today's Hearing: Flo sets the stage: the major issue for today’s court appearance is whether Diddy will be acquitted, granted a new trial, or if the judge will “tell him to kick rocks with flip flops with no socks” (06:25).
• Special Clothing Request:
  • Diddy’s legal camp filed a request for him to wear non-prison clothing to court.
  • The judge approved, allowing Diddy two button-down shirts, two pairs of pants, two sweaters, and one pair of shoes without laces for his court and sentencing appearances.
  • This minor victory sparked banter in the chat and a memorable zinger:
    • Tracy (Chat): “Dress him in a tiger costume and he’s still an itty bitty titty.” (08:20)
• Flo’s Perspective: The host doubts that clothing will sway the judge, suggesting “No, I don’t know. No laces. Not allowed to have any laces.” (09:15)

2. The Legal Arguments and Day’s Court Focus

(11:10 - 21:45)

• Court's Main Questions:
  • The issues to be argued include:
    • Whether certain Rule 29 arguments were waived.
    • If Diddy’s interpretation of “prostitution” under the old Mann Act would hold.
    • Whether filming escorts crossing state lines changed the First Amendment analysis.
    • Which Supreme Court/Second Circuit cases best support either side.
• Diddy’s Legal Framing:
  • Diddy claims he was producing "amateur [porn]," not anything criminal, and that the charges don’t reflect the intent of the historic Mann Act.
  • His lawyers argue the definition of prostitution under the Mann Act is outdated (16:10).

3. New Lawsuit from Stylist Deontay Nash

(21:50 - 42:00)

• Breaking Lawsuit: Deontay Nash, former Diddy stylist and trial witness, files a 37-page suit accusing Diddy of sexual battery, human trafficking, false imprisonment, and violence during his employment (21:50).
  • Nash alleges:
    • Sexual, physical, mental, and emotional abuse.
    • Forced tests of loyalty and manipulation, including possible drug use.
    • Threats of harm and death.
    • An incident in 2013/14 where Diddy “threw Nash onto a car and violently strangled him” after Nash dined with Cassie without Diddy’s permission (32:45).
    • Another incident where Diddy and security allegedly broke into Nash’s home, confiscated his keys and phone while searching for Cassie (36:55).
• Host’s Shock:
  • Flo emphasizes this is the first time Nash publicly claims sexual assault by Diddy, as this was not discussed during his trial testimony (28:35):
    • Flo: "Correct me if I’m wrong, Chad [chat], correct me if I’m wrong. I don’t remember Nash talking about sexual assault on him during the case. So, so is this new news?" (29:10)
    • Chat concurs this is new information (30:00).
  • Flo cannot comprehend why such serious allegations were never aired in court despite Nash being a witness:
    • "I don’t understand how this was not brought up in the freaking trial… That don't make no sense.” (34:45)

4. Prosecution's Trial Failures and Flo’s Strong Critique

(42:15 - 01:01:00)

• Lack of Victim Testimony:
  • Flo rages at the fact that Nash testified but his own victimization was never discussed, even as prosecution “wasted a whole third of the case” on another absent victim (Gina).
  • Using comparisons to other high-profile abuse trials (like R. Kelly), Flo argues it’s unprecedented and illogical for direct victims to testify without discussing their own assaults.
    • Flo:
      • “You got a person on the trial, on the stand, who has been assaulted by the defendant and you’re gonna tell me there’s some way that it makes sense that they don’t talk about being assaulted by that defendant… That don’t make no sense.” (44:41)
• Missed Opportunity for Prosecution:
  • Flo insists prosecution’s cherry-picking of evidence and limiting the narrative to “girlfriends” allowed the defense to dilute charges.
  • Highlights that a broader presentation—including men as victims—would have challenged the “just girlfriends” narrative believed by the jury.
  • Calls the prosecution's effort “a shit show” and “poorly ran”—the outcome (Diddy's acquittal on serious charges) is in Flo's view the ultimate proof (52:10).

5. Flo’s Take on Common Sense, Jury Psychology, & Trial Tactics

(53:40 - 01:07:00)

• Emphasizing the Jury’s Role:
  • Flo states that jurors rely on common sense, not legal technicalities:
    • “People go off emotions. People go off common sense. You want to present a case, you want to present it in a way where it makes sense, common sense to a juror in the juror box.” (55:40)
• Systemic Failures and Rushed Prosecution:
  • Flo speculates the prosecution rushed, failed to vet witnesses, and did not sequester the jury, compounding the collapse:
    • “The more we dig into this case, the more I see why they lost, why they didn’t get the bigger charges. They forgot the element of common sense.” (50:10)
    • “If you have somebody who says that this defendant did what he’s accused of… and not mention it at all, that’s part of the reason why you lost.” (56:12)
• Was the Case Rigged?
  • The host suggests the trial was so flawed it seemed "rigged"—with Diddy’s money and influence possibly shaping the outcome (59:20).

6. Sentencing Outlook and Closing Thoughts

(01:07:10 - End)

• Judge’s Next Steps:
  • Flo expects the judge will deny Diddy’s acquittal or new trial request, but is most interested in the tone and approach the judge takes toward Diddy ahead of sentencing (01:09:05).
• Takeaway Message:
  • The bottom line for Flo: prosecution’s strategic omissions and lack of common sense fundamentally doomed the case.
    • Flo: “Whatever they did, shit didn’t work. So one thing about it, when what you did didn’t work, don’t nobody give a fuck what your reason is behind it didn’t work.” (01:10:59)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the absurdity of omitted testimony:
  • “Ain’t no case where you have victims who’ve been victimized by the defendant, but they don’t tell what has been done to them. That don’t make no sense.” (45:20)
