a little a few minutes about kicking the

down ladies and

that we have to understand that in

Diddy it's about his

02:51

actions and the collateral damage it

02:54

inflicted upon

02:56

others Cassie Ventura specifically

03:00

and those who are not guilty of such

03:05

things but have been associated with him

03:07

in some capacity for years in such a

03:10

manner that would make other people

03:12

raise their eyebrow at those individuals

03:15

because one would assume they must have

03:17

known what was going

03:20

on now that doesn't mean they do or that

03:23

they did what it does mean is that when

03:26

03:29

committing such a vile disgusting

03:33

act the people who are around

03:36

them are going to be called into

03:46

must have

03:47

heard and what effort if any at all did

03:50

they exercise to do something about

03:54

it that's the world we're living

03:57

04:02

that Ryan Clark my colleague at ESPN one

04:05

on his podcast the pivot and called P

04:08

Diddy a [ __ ] I'm quoting that's what he

04:11

04:13

that I watched The Breakfast Club and

04:16

shaag the guard and them shag's like no

04:18

04:21

him a pass he knew what he was

04:25

doing well you know Jessica and and DJ

04:30

Envy were like he needs

04:32

help not that they were giving him a

04:34

pass cuz they certainly

04:36

weren't you got bodyguards being former

04:39

bodyguards or whatever being interviewed

04:41

by Pierce Morgan and they're talking

04:44

about n no no they were incidents with

04:45

place who will remain nameless who will

05:07

constantly seen in the presence of P

05:09

Diddy you can't put a APB out for them

05:11

right now they can't be

05:13

found and people are wondering why about

05:16

them when it's in all likelihood they're

05:18

completely innocent of anything anybody

05:21

might be thinking but because of their

05:23

association with

05:25

him that's what it is and then you have

05:31

folks

05:32

looking at all the things that have

05:36

transpired and what's

05:38

conspicuous what's flagrant in

05:40

everybody's eyes is you hear no one

05:42

speaking up on his

05:45

behalf before the video came

05:49

out so if they didn't speak up on his

05:51

behalf before the video came out you

05:53

know what the next question is why did

05:54

you know what was in a video did you

05:55

know a video exist did you knew what was

05:57

happening that's what people are

05:58

thinking

06:03

I

06:04

believe in second chances I believe we

06:07

all make

06:10

mistakes my biggest

06:15

caveat or I should say my biggest issue

06:18

with Diddy is that what he specifically

06:22

apologized for is what he specifically

06:25

lied about in testimony this past

06:28

December

06:32

claiming that it was her and others

06:35

trying to seek a

06:41

Payday nobody's gonna believe a single

06:43

word he's

06:45

saying and I think it was TMZ or

06:48

somebody that saw him out with somebody

06:50

else going for a walk and he was coming

06:52

back to his spot and he just waved off

06:54

the

06:56

camera you don't want to be seen on

06:58

camera if you P up don't go out in

07:00

public cuz Cameron's going to roll

07:02

everywhere he goes from now

07:04

on he might as well pull a Russell

07:06

Simmons and leave the country

07:09

seriously ain't no peace for him this

07:11

way I'm talking about in this country

07:14

right now is

07:17

bad he might have his money but that

07:19

wasn't what P Diddy was about P didy was

07:21
