Nancy Grace: 我认为人力资源部门在此案中扮演了负面角色，他们没有保护受害者，反而成为了权力者欺压弱势群体的工具。我认为人力资源部门等于地狱般的敲诈勒索，他们没有做任何事情，这是一种权力者欺压弱势群体的剧本。 Tisa Tells: 我认为辩方律师试图用童话故事来掩盖现实，但他们的故事并不真实。辩方似乎已经承认失败，或者至少表现出没有根据的自信。辩方没有让任何名人或员工为他作证，这非常能说明问题。我认为检方已经毫无疑问地证明了他们的案件。 Lauren Conlon: 我认为很多人都渴望看到证人名单，并且相信第一个证人将是一位负责人力资源的坏男孩员工。政府多次暗示，坏男孩人力资源部门并不真正存在，他们只是在执行Sean Combs的命令。 Philip Dubé: 我认为人力资源部门是为了保护公司，而不是真正关心员工的利益。 Dr. Bethany Marshall: 我认为人力资源部门总是站在公司一边，当你在人力资源部门遇到麻烦时，其他人也会知道这件事。 Lynn Shaw: 我认为在性交易案件中，人力资源部门在哪里？我认为这个坏男孩全球娱乐制作公司正在对这些受害者做所有这些事情，人力资源部门在哪里站出来说，你不能做这个肮脏的迪迪，因为这会影响业务。我认为这是一个犯罪企业，强大的人欺压弱势的人。我认为坏男孩公司没有人力资源部门，只有一两个人保护着肮脏的迪迪和这个犯罪企业。

Brendan Paul, Diddy's former assistant, testified about Diddy's drug use and his own involvement in obtaining drugs for him. The defense attempted to portray this as a lifestyle choice, but the prosecution highlighted the illegality of Paul's actions. The defense's shortened case timeline is seen as a sign of weakness by some.
  • Brendan Paul's testimony detailed Diddy's use of various drugs.
  • Paul's drug charges were dropped after a pretrial diversion program.
  • The defense's strategy shifted to a shorter presentation, interpreted by some as a sign of defeat.

Shownotes Transcript

Sean "Diddy' Combs federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial resumes after an expected juror illness, Wednesday and Juneteenth Holiday, Thursday. After this two day pause, the government's case winds down as they bring on their last witness, former assistant to Diddy, Brendan Paul and Diddy's alleged "drug mule." 

Paul is arrested in March 2024 right around the same time Combs' homes in Miami and Los Angeles were raided by federal authorities. Paul's arrest consists of coke and weed-related charges at the Miami-Opa Locka Airport that March. The former assistant's charges were ultimately dismissed after he completed a pretrial diversion program. Paul was described as a "mule" for Combs in a 2024 federal lawsuit against the mogul by producer Lil Rod. "He acquires, and distributes, Mr. Combs Drugs, and Guns," the suit reads.

On the stand, Paul tells jurors he was more than just an assistant, he was Diddy’s go-to man for drugs, including cocaine, ketamine, MDMA (aka “tusi”), ecstasy, prescription pills, and high-grade weed. When asked about his relationship with Combs, Paul says " it is complicated." Paul testifies to working between 80 and 100 hours a week and the cocaine found on his person at the time of his 2024 arrest was left over from his cleaning of Diddy’s room. Paul claims he personally witnessed the use of coke, ketamine, ecstasy, weed, and more by his former boss, Diddy.
