What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the Ditty Diaries.

One of the many people who have accused Ditty of abuse and who have filed a lawsuit against

him is Don Richard.

And Don Richard as you recall was somebody who was very close to Ditty at least professionally.

She was involved in multiple projects working with Ditty and she was somebody who was around

him and had intimate knowledge of his behavior and how his well-oiled machine operated.

And now with her coming forward and filing this lawsuit against Ditty, it really launched

things into a different orbit.

And if you recall her lawsuit was filed before the federal indictment hit the docket.

So Ditty's team, they're going to try and say that all these lawsuits were piggybacking

off of the federal indictment, but several of these lawsuits hit the docket before that

indictment was even unsealed.

So that's not a defense that I think is going to go anywhere for them.

And today we're hearing from Don Richard's lawyer, Lisa Bloom, who is discussing her

client's case.

This article was published by Vibe and the headline Don Richard's lawyer addresses Sean

Ditty Combs witness tampering claims.

This article was authored by Demesia Inman.

Lisa Bloom, the attorney representing Don Richard in her civil case, again Sean Ditty

Combs speaks with talk TV about her client's case, the criminal charges, he faces, and

the allegations of witness tampering.

In a clip of the interview shared by the art of dialogue on X, Bloom points out details

where the civil sued and criminal case overlap.

And look, this is something that is as old as the day is long.

Whenever you have some sort of civil proceeding against you, especially if you're somebody

who's famous and there's even a hint of criminal behavior, you better believe the government's

going to be made aware of it.

And remember, we were talking about the Rodney Jones suit when it came out all the way back

in what November and in that lawsuit, he was begging the government basically to initiate

a legal investigation into Ditty.

And then you fast forward all these months to where we are now and you look at some of

these lawsuits that were filed previously and there sure is a whole lot of overlap.

The federal criminal case came after hours, but it was strikingly similar, she explained.

Many of the same allegations that women were victimized, that they were terrorized, that

they weren't even paid properly when they work for them and made music with them.

So if his employees aren't getting treated right, what makes anybody think that sex workers

or anyone that he considers an object of his obsession is going to be treated fairly?

If you don't treat the people around you as far as your employees, your coworkers, the

people you love correctly, what makes anyone think that you're going to treat strangers

in the right way?

She continued to detail, there's the federal criminal case, that's why he's in prison

right now, and I think he's going to be in prison for the rest of his life.

And then there's a large number of civil cases that have been filed.

Those are private lawsuits for money damages, there's my case and there's a number of

other cases with similar allegations, some involving underage people as well as adults

that are victimized by them.

And for those of you who have been rocking with me for quite some time, it won't come

as a surprise to know that I'm not a big fan of Lisa Bloom.

I'm just not a big fan of her or her mom Gloria already, but I'm not going to hold that

against her client.

My beef with Lisa Bloom and her mom is the glory hounding.

Not so much as the way that they defend their clients or whatever, but it feels to me

that they have a lot of main character syndrome and a lot of times they try and make it about

them.

And I saw it with Epstein and I hope we don't see it here because these lawyers need

to realize that this isn't about them.

This is about their clients, it's about the alleged victims and it's about justice.

In our case and in the federal criminal case, we're not just again Sean Combs, but against

a large number of people who are accused of being his enablers.

Because we know from history, people like Jeffrey Epstein, I represented 11 of his victims.

These guys just don't do it by themselves.

They have to have a large number of people who are complicit in order to have an operation

this big and to have this many accusers.

Look, there's no doubt you cannot run an operation like this on your own.

And for those of you who aren't really too familiar with the Epstein situation, well,

we're going to talk a lot more about it as this continues to unfold because obviously

there's a lot of intersection here.

And I think that if you understand what happened with Epstein or at the very least get a taste,

you'll understand a little bit better of what you're seeing here when it comes to Diddy.

At the end of the clip, she explained how Richard's lawsuit could be the reason that

Combs has been denied bail in criminal court, very possible.

But I don't think that Lisa Bloom should be out here talking about this.

You don't think Diddy's lawyers are going to use it or attempt to use it against her and

against Donna Richard.

Now probably won't be successful, but they'll talk about how she's out here looking for publicity,

how she's trying to be a glory hound, you know, the whole thing.

I've always been more of a move in silence kind of person and not let your enemies know

what you're thinking, right?

So if I was a lawyer, I certainly wouldn't be making any public statements about anything

that's going on as far as my client goes or their case.

That's very unusual and here's why and it has to do with my case because the prosecutors

say he was tampering with witnesses before he was sent to jail.

Detail Bloom, after being asked why the bad boy records founder remains behind bars.

In my case, there's a woman, only one, who came out publicly after we filed our complaint

and basically attacked my client and said she was a liar.

Well it turns out the prosecutors say that there were over 100 phone calls, phone messages,

between Sean Combs and this witness right after the filing of our complaint until a couple

of days later, once she came out with her statement, calling my client a liar.

And then those calls stopped.

So what she's saying here is that there was tampering did he and his people got to the

other witness and after talking to that witness, coursing them or whatever got the witness

to sing a tune that was more favorable to diddy.

And that's what the prosecutors alleged in those transcripts.

And that played a part obviously in the judge making the decision to keep diddy behind

bars.

And Lisa Bloom saying that that had to do with the situation with her client, Dawn Richard

and tracking it, it certainly seems like it's something that has some legs, especially

considering that the allegations that were made in these documents again were made before

the indictment was filed or at least filed publicly.

So that adds a lot of credence to what Lisa Bloom is saying here, she continued to elaborate.

So the implication is very clear that he was reaching out to her.

I don't know if he offered her something or if he's scarier or what happened, but that

he's tampering with witnesses and the judge essentially said he needs to be behind bars

because we can't have witnesses tampered with.

And there's no doubt about it.

That's exactly what the judge is saying.

You can't be out here tampering with witnesses.

And if there's even any hint that that might occur, you're not going to get bail.

It's the same thing you see with Mafioso, it's the same thing you see with anybody who's

running an alleged criminal enterprise.

Last month Richard came forward to take legal action against Combs, claiming she was verbally

abused while participating in making the band, alleged sexual assault, received death threats,

and detailed witnessing physical assaults on Cassie Ventura.

Mr. Combs is shocked and disappointed by this lawsuit, detailed his attorney Erika Wolf

in a statement at the time, can you imagine the scene at Erika Wolf's office as these

lawsuits continue to come in?

This lady's going to need an army of paralegals.

In an attempt to rewrite history, Don Richards has now manufactured a series of false claims

all in the hopes of trying to get a paid day, conveniently timed to coincide with her

album release and press tour.

The memo continued, it's unfortunate that Ms. Richard has cast their 20-year friendship

aside to try and get money from him, but Mr. Combs is confidently standing on truth

and looks forward to approving that in court.

Oh, I'm sure that he's just over the moon, that there's what, 200, 250 lawsuits that

have been filed against him?

Yeah, that's very exciting stuff, said nobody ever.

The whole entire, oh, I'm excited to exonerate myself, I'm excited to defend myself from

these charges, save that shit.

Nobody knows you're not excited about any of this.

Now you might have been excited about the baby oil and, you know, dominating people, but

your bitch ass isn't excited about sitting in that jail cell, I can tell you that much.

Aligning with the statement made by Bloom, the day Richard's lawsuit became public news,

Combs allegedly called or texted Collina Harper 58 times in four days, according to NBC

news.

Harper subsequently made a statement on social media, denying claims made by Richard's

filing.

This incident is just one way of making clear that this defendant has the ongoing ability

to keep witnesses, even witnesses who might have been around for the very distant in time

abuse in his pocket and at his disposal, explained one of the prosecutors, assistant US attorney

Emily Johnson.

Combs was arrested in New York City amid the mounting civil lawsuits on criminal allegations

of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation

to engage in prostitution.

He has pleaded not guilty to the aforementioned charges.

As Mr. Combs legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in

what has become a reckless media circus.

Wolf shared an statement earlier this month after more lawsuits were filed against her client

that said Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and the famitory any claim

that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.

He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court if and when

the claims are filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence,

not on speculation.

Cool, let's get to that evidence part, huh?

Let's get to the whole entire discovery phase, let's get to the depositions and let's see

what's what.

Unfortunately, most of these civil cases keep in mind they're going to be paused and that's

because the criminal aspect of all of this is the most important component as far as the

state's concerned.

So the civil cases, they're going to be paused, they're going to be backshelved and we're

going to get on with the criminal case first.

Now again, that doesn't mean that these cases aren't going to get filed, there's just

not going to be any conclusion, there's not going to be a trial or anything like that

until the criminal portion gets wrapped up.

But these civil cases that have been filed that continue to be filed are a treasure trove

for the investigators and there's no doubt looking at the indictment that the investigators

are taking a good hard look at these civil cases and they're using them to help build

the case against Diddy.

And I expect that to continue as this case continues to be built and as new accusers

continue to come forward.

And as far as Don Richard goes, I think that she's going to end up being a witness when

it comes time for trial.

Now that's just my speculation, but I think that her statements and what she has to say

about Diddy is going to be used as testimony.

And my guess is, Don Richard isn't going to be the only one.

Alright folks, that's going to do it for this one.
