Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield

From “Freak Fest” planning to Chanel bag jealousy to the moment Jane shouted, “I only got trauma!” this was one of the wildest days in court yet. Day 20 of the federal racketeering trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs was an emotional rollercoaster. Diddy’s legal team tried to flip the script… painting Jane’s story as a twisted love affair, not a crime. The jury heard text messages, voice notes, and even audio from a romantic trip to Turks and Caicos — all pointing to a woman who still loved him. He was the king of Bad Boy Records: a billionaire mogul, a Grammy winner, and the face of luxury in hip-hop. Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a slew of federal charges in New York, accused of running a criminal enterprise for over two decades. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence.
