  "I don't have anything negative to say about Sean Combs because my experience was not what the world has seen and how he's been, you know, misrepresented." (26:18)

• Flo's Reaction: Outrage at Usher for disregarding victims. Flo argues Usher’s stance suggests that if abuse didn’t happen to him personally, it isn’t worth denouncing.
  • Flo: "So basically, it's just all you give a about is yourself. You don't care if he raped and killed a thousand people, but because he ain't great or murder you or yours, you don't got nothing negative to say. How do that sound, Sita?" (28:15)
