Freak Offs & Felonies: A Diddy Trial Deep Dive with Emilie Hagen
Welcome to a new episode of the Prevailing Narrative! Today, Matt delves into the early weeks of the P. Diddy RICO and sex trafficking trial. Joined by independent journalist Emilie Hagen, Matt navigates the sensational details and legal nuances surrounding the case. They explore the nature of sex trafficking charges, the public's misconceptions, and the defense's strategies.
Highlights:
“Sex trafficking isn’t some Epstein-level conspiracy—it’s coercion + a commercial sex act. Diddy’s on tape beating Cassie; that’s enough.”
“The defense is doing a great job at misdirecting. Today, they made a psychologist look like a clout-chasing fraud.”
“People want this trial to be about secret tapes of Leo DiCaprio. It’s really about a guy who pissed on women and bribed security guards.”
“Celebrities are pathetic. Meet Alex Soros for 30 seconds, you’ll realize no one’s smart enough to run these ‘elite’ schemes.”
