The fifth day of Sean "Diddy" Combs’ federal trial took a dark and undeniable turn. After four days of emotional, raw, and disturbing testimony from pop artist Cassie Ventura, prosecutors backed her story with hard evidence and a surprise witness. This video breaks down everything that unfolded on May 17, 2025, in court — and why it may become the most pivotal day of the entire trial. In the first half of the day, Cassie Ventura was pressed by the defense in a relentless cross-examination. They pulled up explicit texts, financial settlements, and the timeline of her accusations. But Cassie didn’t waver. Through tears, she responded with chilling calm, telling the jury: “I’d give that money back if I never had to have freak-offs.” That quote alone left the courtroom in silence. She exited the stand, visibly pregnant, broken yet defiant. Then came Special Agent Yasin Binda of Homeland Security. Her testimony connected Cassie’s claims to physical evidence. From multiple bottles of baby oil and professional lighting rigs to ketamine, ecstasy, and $9,000 in a fanny pack — the room looked less like a luxury suite and more like a stage for control. Notably, pill bottles were found labeled under the alias “Frank Black” — a name previously associated with Combs. The cherry on top? An external hard drive the prosecution has yet to unlock in court. Just when you thought it couldn’t get darker, singer Dawn Richard stepped forward with a 2009 memory: Diddy allegedly attacking Cassie with a skillet, punching her, dragging her by her hair, then warning witnesses, “People who talk go missing.” The judge has yet to decide if her testimony will stay in the record. This isn’t just a celebrity trial. It’s a forensic, psychological, and deeply disturbing story of power and control. Watch now for the full breakdown of what could be the day that changes everything. #DiddyTrial #CassieVentura #TrueCrime #SexTrafficking #DawnRichard #FreakOffs #FederalTrial #JusticeForVictims #Diddy #BreakingNews
“Sex Slave for Diddy” — Cassie Testifies That Trump Hotel Gunman Was Telling the Truth In 2018, a man stormed the Trump National Doral hotel in Miami, draped in a flag, firing shots into the air before being gunned down by police. His name was Jonathan Oddi, and for a brief moment, he was splashed across headlines as a political extremist with a possible mental health crisis. But what Oddi said after the shooting never got the same attention. In police custody, Oddi made a shocking claim: that he had been hired by Sean “Diddy” Combs to perform sex acts on Cassie Ventura, that Diddy watched and directed these encounters, and that he had even recorded one — leading to a $5 million hush money payout. At the time, nobody believed him. He was labeled unstable, delusional. The idea that a Trump hotel gunman was also a whistleblower on one of music’s most powerful men sounded too far-fetched to be taken seriously. Fast-forward to 2025, and suddenly the wild story Oddi told in custody is lining up with sworn testimony in Diddy’s federal sex trafficking trial. Cassie herself has identified Oddi as one of the escorts Diddy hired for what she called “freak-offs.” She confirmed she feared a tape existed. And a leaked non-disclosure agreement from 2014, signed by both Diddy and Oddi, seems to confirm the alleged hush money deal. This isn’t a conspiracy theory anymore. It’s a verified paper trail, courtroom evidence, and sworn testimony. In this episode, we unpack how Oddi went from being dismissed as a dangerous madman to a central, corroborated figure in one of the biggest celebrity sex abuse trials in U.S. history. Sometimes, the truth doesn’t come from the clean-cut hero. Sometimes, it comes from the guy with a gun in a hotel lobby, screaming for someone to finally listen. #TrumpHotelShooter #DiddyTrial #CassieTestimony #JonathanOddi #FreakOffs #DiddyScandal #SexTrafficking #NDALeak #TrueCrimePodcast #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Justin Bieber Breaks Silence: “I Was NOT a Victim of Diddy” In the middle of one of the most explosive celebrity legal cases in recent history — the federal investigation into Sean “Diddy” Combs for sex trafficking, racketeering, and abuse — pop star Justin Bieber has found himself unexpectedly pulled into the chaos. After days of growing speculation online and old videos resurfacing from Bieber’s teenage years, his team has broken their silence, releasing an official public statement denying that Bieber was ever a victim of Combs. In this episode of Hidden Killers, we dig deep into that statement — what it says, why it matters, and how it’s being used to redirect the conversation back toward the real victims in the Diddy case. We’ll examine the context behind those old videos, what insiders close to Bieber have told media outlets, and how this entire internet firestorm gained traction without a single verified accusation ever being made. The denial from Bieber’s camp is clear: “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him. Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.” This wasn’t a social post. It wasn’t cryptic. It was a surgical move to cut through speculation and protect both Bieber’s name and the integrity of the actual legal proceedings surrounding Diddy. As the federal case against Combs heats up, more celebrities may find themselves caught in the orbit of suspicion — fairly or not. In today’s segment, we break down how a few misinterpreted clips and internet theories spiraled out of control, why Bieber’s response is legally and morally significant, and what this means for the broader narrative in the courtroom and online. Stay informed. Stay skeptical. And let’s keep the spotlight where it belongs — on the truth. #JustinBieber #DiddyTrial #HiddenKillersPodcast #SeanCombs #TrueCrime2025 #CelebrityAbuseAllegations #DiddyLawsuit #BieberDenial #FederalTrial #MediaMisinformation Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Top Eight Most Shocking Claims in Cassie’s Testimony Against Diddy What happens when the veil drops on one of hip-hop’s most powerful figures? In this episode, we dive deep into Cassie Ventura’s harrowing courtroom testimony against Sean “Diddy” Combs — a testimony so graphic, so disturbing, that at times the courtroom reportedly fell into total silence. Cassie, the former pop star and longtime partner of Diddy, outlined a pattern of abuse that prosecutors allege amounts to sex trafficking, coercive control, and sexual assault. In her raw and emotional testimony, she described what she called a “machine of control” — fueled by fear, drugs, humiliation, and surveillance. In this episode, we break down the 8 most disturbing allegations from her testimony, including: The 2016 Beverly Hills hotel assault — caught on surveillance footage and played in court. The coerced and drug-fueled “freak-offs” — with Cassie allegedly forced to perform while being filmed. The urination and degradation acts she endured — which she says pushed her into psychological dissociation. A shocking moment where Diddy allegedly obtained her private MRI results, monitoring even her attempts to seek medical help. The explosive claim that Diddy threatened rapper Kid Cudi — and then Cudi’s car exploded. And finally, the most heartbreaking revelation: the 2018 rape allegation that marked her final escape. This is not tabloid gossip. These are federal allegations, with hard evidence backing parts of Ventura’s account — including video, corroborating witnesses, and detailed timelines. If you’ve been following the Diddy trial, this is the episode you need to hear. No fluff. Just the most chilling, courtroom-verified claims from one of the most high-profile abuse cases in music industry history.

Diddy Trial Day 3 Recap: Defense Turns Aggressive & Cassie’s Own Texts Used Against Her In this episode, we dive into one of the most intense moments yet in the federal sex trafficking trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs. Cassie Ventura, the prosecution’s star witness and former longtime partner of Combs, returned to the stand for a high-stakes cross-examination—and the defense came in swinging. Diddy’s attorneys wasted no time. They launched an aggressive strategy aimed at dismantling Ventura’s credibility using her own text messages—many of them explicit, affectionate, and at times, seemingly enthusiastic about the very acts she now says were rooted in coercion. These weren’t vague references. The defense made her read her own messages out loud in court, including intimate exchanges about the so-called “freak offs,” Combs’ pet name for sex parties involving third parties, often arranged and controlled by him. The defense’s goal? To reframe Ventura not as a manipulated victim, but as an eager, consenting participant. But Ventura didn’t back down. She calmly read the messages, then explained them—describing the emotional pressure she felt to say what Combs wanted to hear in order to avoid conflict or violence. She made clear: these were survival tactics, not enthusiasm. It didn’t stop there. The defense brought up her secret burner phone used to talk to rapper Kid Cudi, hinted at jealousy toward Combs’ ex Kim Porter, and even threw in suspicions about Michael B. Jordan. All of it was meant to raise doubts about Ventura’s truthfulness and motivations. But even under pressure, Ventura didn’t crack. And the jury watched every moment—carefully, quietly, absorbing each detail. This episode unpacks how a few lines of text became the battleground for consent, power, and credibility in one of the most closely watched trials in the country. #DiddyTrial #CassieVentura #SeanCombs #SexTraffickingTrial #TrueCrimePodcast #CourtroomDrama #FreakOffs #FederalTrial #HiddenKillers #CelebrityTrial Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Key Witness Go Missing in the Diddy Case, NOW WHAT!? In this episode, Tony Brueski dives deep into one of the most quietly explosive developments in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex trafficking trial — the sudden disappearance of a key government witness, known only as Victim-3. She was expected to testify publicly, break anonymity, and offer critical details about Combs’ alleged long-term abuse. But just days before the trial began, she vanished. No calls. No court appearance. Nothing. Tony breaks down what her testimony was supposed to add to the case, how her absence alters the prosecution’s entire RICO strategy, and what it means when a voice that’s supposed to be central simply… disappears. This isn’t just a missing person — it’s a missing piece of justice. And it’s changing the shape of one of the most high-profile trials in America right now. No speculation. No spin. Just the hard truth about what we know, what the court can and can’t do about it, and how a silent chair in the courtroom might echo louder than anything else. #DiddyTrial #SeanCombs #Victim3 #FederalTrial #SexTraffickingCase #HiddenKillersPodcast #TonyBrueski #TrueCrimeUpdate #WitnessDisappearance #RICOCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Diddy Trial Day 4 Morning Recap Of Cassie Ventura's Raw Testimony On Cross Day 4 of the Sean "Diddy" Combs federal trial brings us face-to-face with one of the most intense and emotionally charged moments yet: the cross-examination of Cassie Ventura. In this morning recap, Tony Brueski breaks down exactly what happened in court as Diddy’s legal team launched their most aggressive attack on Ventura’s credibility. This wasn’t about denying the events—this was about reinterpreting them. We dive into the key strategy from the defense: using Cassie’s own words—text messages, emails, and alleged financial negotiations—to paint her not as a victim, but as a willing participant in Diddy’s world. But Ventura didn’t back down. She owned her messages. She explained the emotional context behind them. And most powerfully, she rejected the defense's narrative that love or money ever made the abuse acceptable. In this episode, we look at how Cassie handled the pressure, the courtroom atmosphere as she responded with raw clarity, and how her pregnancy adds urgency—and weight—to her every word. This isn’t just about salacious headlines. This is about power dynamics, trauma survival, and how complicated stories don’t always fit into clean boxes. Tony walks you through it all—what was said, what it meant, and what’s likely coming next as Ventura’s cross-examination continues. If you’re following the case and want a no-spin, fact-driven breakdown of what really went down this morning, this is your recap.

Diddy Trial Day 3: Cassie Shocks The Courtroom With Vile Stories Of A Demented Diddy On May 14, 2025, the courtroom was gripped by the emotional testimony of Cassie Ventura, the former partner of music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs. In a detailed account, Cassie alleged that in 2018, following a dinner intended for closure, Combs raped her in her own home. This revelation is a pivotal moment in the ongoing trial, shedding light on the darker aspects of their decade-long relationship. Cassie's testimony didn't stop there. She delved into the alleged "freak-offs," drug-fueled sex parties where she claimed she was coerced into participating in degrading acts. These events, according to her, were orchestrated by Combs and often involved threats of violence and blackmail. The courtroom was presented with surveillance footage from 2016, showing Combs allegedly assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway, further substantiating her claims. This video provides an in-depth analysis of Cassie's testimony, exploring the legal implications and the potential impact on Combs' career. We examine the psychological toll such experiences can have on victims and discuss the broader conversation around abuse in the entertainment industry. Stay tuned as we continue to cover this high-profile case, bringing you the latest updates and expert insights.  #DiddyTrial #CassieTestimony #TrueCrime #MusicIndustryScandal #JusticeForCassie #CourtroomDrama #LegalAnalysis #AbuseAllegations #EntertainmentNews #BreakingNews Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Diddy Trial Day 2 Recap: Cassie Breaks Down in Court With Haunting Testimony Of Diddy's Control In this episode, we dive into Chapter Two of Cassie Ventura’s stunning testimony in the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs — and this part of the story is where the emotional weight truly hits. While the previous chapter exposed the alleged logistics of Combs’ so-called “freak off” sex sessions, what Ventura revealed in this testimony goes deeper. It's not just about what happened — it's about what it did to her. Cassie described, in heartbreaking detail, how control was exerted not through threats alone, but through emotional manipulation, psychological isolation, and years of fear. From the moment she met Combs at 19, she said, her life became less her own and more his to manage. The music she made — nine full albums — never saw the light of day. Her voice was literally and metaphorically muted. Her image, her schedule, even her relationships were filtered through his control. And then there was the abuse. Physical. Emotional. Digital. She recounted being stomped, dragged, and recorded during sexual encounters she says were coerced. And even more devastating — she admitted that at times, the only value she felt came in the moments after the abuse, when Combs gave her attention. That emotional admission struck a chord with the jury — and with the public watching. Testifying while visibly pregnant, Ventura didn’t just share her past — she reclaimed it. This isn’t just a story about one woman’s trauma. It’s a chilling account of how coercion works quietly, persistently, and how it leaves scars far deeper than anything visible. #DiddyTrial #CassieVentura #CoerciveControl #EmotionalAbuse #TrueCrime #DiddyFederalTrial #CourtroomDrama #JusticeForSurvivors #CassieTestimony #HiddenKillersPodcast   Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Diddy’s Jury Drama: The 3-Day Courtroom Showdown You Missed The federal criminal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs is finally underway in Manhattan—and the first three days in court have already delivered enough drama to fill a season of courtroom television. In this video, we break down the critical events that took place between May 5 and May 7, 2025, as Diddy’s legal team and federal prosecutors battled over jury selection, controversial commentary, and behind-the-scenes strategy in one of the most high-profile sex trafficking and racketeering trials in recent memory. Judge Arun Subramanian kicked off proceedings with a tense, slow-moving jury selection process, aiming to build a pool of 45 impartial jurors. But the process was anything but routine. One prospective juror had to be dismissed due to their ties to HBO—a network that recently aired a documentary featuring allegations against Combs. Meanwhile, defense advisor Mark Geragos came under fire after making inflammatory public comments about the prosecution team, prompting a rare courtroom rebuke. And perhaps most critically, a key prosecution witness may now be unavailable to testify, raising early questions about the stability of the government's case. As delays mounted and the court struggled to finalize a panel, the judge made the strategic decision to postpone seating the final jury until Friday, to prevent juror attrition and keep the trial on schedule. With an anonymous jury now nearly finalized and opening statements set for Monday, May 12, the stage is set for one of the most explosive courtroom battles of the decade. This is the inside story of what really happened during the first three days of Diddy's federal trial—told with zero speculation, all facts, and the forensic clarity true crime fans demand. #DiddyTrial #SeanCombs #FederalTrial #TrueCrime2025 #JurySelection #SexTraffickingCase #MarkGeragos #LegalDrama #CourtroomUpdates #AnonymousJury Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Diddy On Trial & The Five Most Disturbing Allegations Against Sean Diddy Combs Sean "Diddy" Combs, once a titan of the music and fashion industries, is now at the center of one of the most high-profile federal criminal trials in entertainment history. In this video, we take you deep inside the courtroom as jury selection begins and federal prosecutors prepare to argue that Combs led a decades-long criminal enterprise involving sex trafficking, coercion, and racketeering. The case against Diddy includes five federal charges, including violations of the RICO Act, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation of victims across state lines for unlawful sexual acts. Prosecutors allege Combs used his fame, wealth, and businesses to lure victims into degrading sexual encounters—allegedly known as “freak offs”—that were orchestrated, recorded, and fueled by heavy drug use. Authorities say that what appeared to be a lavish celebrity lifestyle was actually a highly organized system of abuse. Testimony from multiple alleged victims, surveillance video, seized digital evidence, and physical items from FBI raids at Combs’ Los Angeles and Miami homes will all be presented to the jury. Combs' defense team argues that everything was consensual—that this is a case of misunderstood relationships and manufactured outrage. But with a possible life sentence on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher. In this breakdown, we explore what the government is bringing to court, what the defense is likely to argue, and why this trial could reshape how celebrity power is viewed under the law. Whether you’re following for legal insight, true crime intrigue, or cultural impact, this is the video that lays out what to expect in the trial of Sean Combs. #DiddyTrial #SeanCombs #TrueCrime #FreakOffs #RICOCase #SexTraffickingTrial #CelebrityCrime #DiddyArrest #FederalTrial #DiddyCourtCase Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

Diddy Turns Down Plea Deal With Only Day's Before Trial Starts Sean “Diddy” Combs is heading into one of the most high-profile federal trials in recent history, facing charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and obstruction of justice. In this video, we break down the major developments in the case — including why Diddy rejected a federal plea deal, the judge's decision to admit the explosive hotel video allegedly showing him assaulting Cassie Ventura, and the defense’s controversial claim that substance abuse left him unable to form criminal intent. We’ll also explore how prosecutors are preparing to show a pattern of coercion and abuse, why Cassie’s testimony is expected to be critical, and how the Department of Justice and Homeland Security Investigations built the case. With jury selection beginning May 5, 2025, the trial could last for months — and if convicted, Diddy could spend decades behind bars. This is everything you need to know about the case that’s shaking the music industry and the justice system. #SeanCombs #DiddyTrial #CassieVentura #TrueCrime #SexTraffickingCase #RICOCharges #DOJ #FederalTrial #CriminalDefense #YouTubeTrueCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

New Diddy Developments & Diddy’s Legal Defense Strategy: Delay, Deny, and Discredit?  In this episode, we dive deep into the explosive federal and civil legal battles surrounding music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. With a superseding federal indictment now spanning two decades, prosecutors allege Diddy ran his business empire like a criminal operation—complete with sex trafficking, coercion, and blackmail. We break down the charges, the RICO implications, and what prosecutors say was a pattern of abuse that operated behind the scenes of fame and fortune. You’ll hear how Diddy’s legal team is scrambling to hold back a wave of civil lawsuits while defending against the U.S. government’s sweeping criminal case. From their strategy to delay the May trial, to aggressive efforts to discredit accusers and remove high-profile names like Beyoncé and Jay-Z from civil complaints, we unpack the courtroom chess match happening on multiple fronts. This isn't just about legal filings—it's about media narratives, public image, and how both sides are leveraging power in and out of court. Whether you’ve been following the Diddy case from the beginning or are just catching up, this episode gives you a clear, factual, and in-depth look at one of the most shocking celebrity criminal cases in recent history.

Whenever these episodes are done by Ai, they're terrible.

The choice to switch from fake Ai "host voices" who couldn't read hip hop names correctly the first few weeks of this podcast, to the refreshing Tony Brueski, was an excellent decision. Seems like a classic, great radio personality - a dying breed. Thumbs up... finally.

Ugh, I HATE this Ai voice. It's so obvious. Tony Brueski saved this podcast by being a real person instead of how this pod started out with those two Ai voices (this is the same female voice) who couldn't pronounce anything. Suge Knight was pronounced "Sooj" instead of "Shoog" because Ai can't differentiate less common words or names.

Now *THIS* was a great episode! I feel like I've waited awhile for this podcast to rise above their mispronunciations and say something worthwhile and significant. This was it.

I just can't anymore. ARE YOU SERIOUS?????!!! How do you NOT know how to pronounce RICO?! It literally doesn't get any easier, it's the most common charge for sex traffickers. Just freaking sound it out, as if you actually speak a Latin-based language (such as English). Hint: it's NOT "RY-ko".

1:41 Annals of history is pronounced "Ah-nahlz", not "Ay-nahlz". 🤦🏼‍♀️ Boy, I thought you guys just needed help pronouncing hip hop names (Suge = Shoog not Sooj; Keefe D = Kee-fee Dee, not Keef Dee), but it seems you need help with English overall.

F*CK!! Can't someone tell the female host to learn the names of the most famous people in this genre?! AGAIN, she's STILL pronouncing Suge Knight as "Sooj" at 4:29. IT'S "SHOOG". 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm actually second hand embarrassed for this horrible host.

I keep waiting for this podcast to realize that they sound ridiculous and ignorant. 4:14 - Nas is pronounced "Nahz", not "Nase". Argh...

2:45 - Suge is pronounced "Shoog," NOT "Shooj"!!! Jesus, to whomever owns this podcast: where do you get these people?! Get a host who actually knows about hip hop! So inauthentic.

Sweet Jesus, these phonies again?! Seriously, get rid of these hosts; I have second-hand embarrassment for them trying to sound knowledgeable & using/mispronouncing totally cringy urban slang. Please hire some Bipoc hosts who are not completely ignorant about hip hop, & can actually ad lib/riff off each other instead of reading a script. At the very least, they should read the script in advance, & learn proper pronunciation of hip hop names & rhetoric before air time.

Finally! Hosts that actually sound relatively normal and naturally conversational! I hope those prior hosts never return to media unless it's to read copy for radio ad spots. They sound like they both belonged in a sorority/fraternity, likely get tipsy playing beer pong, loudly sing karaoke, or blast Taylor Swift from their Toyota Priuses. Thank you for putting the (ridiculous amount of) ads at the beginning and end instead of the middle, so they're easy to skip.

Absolute WORST choice in hosts for this podcast. These people are lily white & the script this girl is reading with its occasional urban slang makes her sound completely pseudo. They know nil about this genre. They sound like they should be hosting a pod about Nickelback, tennis, Pottery Barn, cornhole, self-help books or baking. At 5:37 it's clear they're idiots when she says "Al B" and he says "Sure", on their scripts. Dumbasses: the man's name is 'Al B. Sure!' Every time his name comes up.

These clowns. Couldn't whoever's idea this podcast is have hired people who actually know about hip hop? I mean, "Sooj" Knight?!!!! (3:21). It's pronounced "Shoog". C'mon! He's only one of the biggest names in gangsta rap. It's SO easy to tell that these hosts are reading a script. There's no off-the-cuff banter, interesting tidbits... just vague sweeping generalizations & urban slang so foreign to these hosts. The guy sounds somewhat conversational; girl is just a straight up horrendous choice.
