00:00
We promise you, this is not an April Fool's joke what you're about to hear.
00:04
It is an actual lawsuit filed by an attorney in federal court about Diddy,
00:11
and an alleged freak-off that went down in Miami in April 2015.
00:18
So exactly 10 years ago, they say this was a party for Diddy's son King Combs,
00:25
but all the names involved here are huge.
00:28
Huge.
00:29
We're talking Beyonce, Jay-Z, LeBron James.
00:35
Now, all those people are just witnesses, according to this lawsuit.
00:40
And strangely enough, Gloria Estefan.
00:43
Gloria Estefan.
00:43
The rhythm is going to get you, Gloria Estefan.
00:46
Yes.
00:46
And her husband, Emilio.
00:48
Yes.
00:49
And now, again, all witnesses.
00:51
Emilio is actually a defendant in this lawsuit, along with Diddy.
00:54
But here is the story as told by a man named Joseph Manzaro in this lawsuit
01:00
that we obtained this morning.
01:02
He says that he showed up at this party, or woke up at this party,
01:09
and didn't understand how he got there, that he's insinuating clearly that he'd been drugged,
01:15
but woke up and at one point saw Gloria Estefan and Emilio Estefan,
01:23
and Gloria is saying, hey, we need to get him medical help because he's too drugged up.
01:28
Get an ambulance.
01:29
Get him out of here.
01:30
And according to Manzaro, Emilio steps in and says,
01:34
no, we're not doing that, and shoves Gloria out of the way.
01:39
And then they take this guy through a tunnel from Estefan's house to Diddy's home.
01:48
Now, this is on Star Island in Miami.
01:50
They do actually live near each other.
01:54
So that part of it is, you know, that's a fact that anybody can find.
02:00
But what happened once he got into this party at Diddy's house is outrageous.
02:07
And I know we're supposed to take every lawsuit seriously,
02:12
because we don't know, we weren't there.
02:14
I just, the Gloria Estefan part, that's just the start.
02:19
How Beyonce gets involved.
02:21
So listen to this.
02:22
He says that at one point he's being walked around the party,
02:26
and he looks up and sees Beyonce.
02:28
She says, what's this?
02:30
What's this all about?
02:31
Why is this half-naked white man with a blank mask, another word for penis,
02:38
mask standing here in front of me?
02:39
Yeah, apparently they put on him a penis mask on his head.
02:45
So he's wearing almost no clothes, according to his lawsuit.
02:49
And a penis mask.
02:51
And that was a jarring sight for people.
02:54
And LeBron James also saw him at one point and said,
02:58
y'all better do something about that.
03:02
It goes on.
03:04
There's more.
03:06
It is one hell of a story.
03:08
Yeah, look, this is one of the most shocking lawsuits I've read.
03:11
If this had been the first Diddy lawsuit, our jaws would be on the floor.
03:14
But there's a quality to it that sounds like almost a screenplay being written,
03:17
because he says he was lapsing sort of in and out of consciousness,
03:20
and he's hearing voices of celebrities throughout this lawsuit.
03:23
There's obviously the mask that he says he was wearing
03:25
and being degraded and humiliated.
03:27
There's also a bit of a Mad Libs quality of the other defendants.
03:31
There's people who have sued Diddy before.
03:32
A woman named Adria English is a defendant in this lawsuit.
03:35
She's been a plaintiff in another lawsuit against Diddy.
03:38
So it's hard to make heads or tails of this if this is just so late in the game
03:42
that it's someone who is very familiar with the people and the players in Diddy's life
03:46
that they could put together a lawsuit or whether this actually happened.
03:49
Or if it's something that happened and the reason that you recognize the names is
03:53
they are people who were in Diddy's circle.
03:56
It also mentions a guy named Brendan Paul,
03:59
who you'll recall when the raids went down, was arrested by the authorities
04:04
and charged as allegedly being a drug mule for Diddy.
04:09
He is mentioned in this lawsuit as well and is actually one of the defendants.
04:14
I will say one of the good things about a lawsuit like this
04:15
is there's a lot of potential witnesses and they'd have to all be on the same page
04:19
and all lying about the same thing.
04:21
It's harder to do than sort of lawsuits that are built around a private setting
04:25
where it's he said, she said.
04:27
The guy says it happened at a party,
04:28
so there are presumably people who could verify it or say it didn't happen.
04:32
Yeah, and that's one of the problems.
04:34
You're right.
04:35
When you mention all those people, they may all have alibis.
04:39
Well, Jay-Z certainly seems to have one.
04:41
Yeah.
04:42
So Jay-Z has mentioned that he's there with Beyoncé,
04:45
but we know that Jay-Z was in New York.
04:47
Yes.
04:48
The night that it was supposed to be.
04:49
Now...
04:49
The night of King Combs of his birthday, which happens to be April 1st.
04:53
Happy birthday.
04:54
Is it possible that he got on a private jet afterwards in New York and flew down there?
05:00
Possible, but...
05:01
Yeah, I don't know.
05:02
Look, these are all allegations, very wild allegations laid out in this lawsuit.
05:08
As Derek said, there are elements of it that sound like some of the other lawsuits,
05:13
but we have not heard a response back from Diddy at this point.
05:16
Well, no, Diddy's attorneys said that...
05:18
Oh, did they get to a sentence for that?
05:21
...not credible at all.
05:22
This complaint demonstrates the depraved lengths plaintiffs will travel to
05:25
to garner headlines in pursuit of a payday.
05:28
No sane person reading this complaint could credit this story.
05:32
It goes on to say, basically, that he's looking forward to his day in court
05:36
when he's going to get to prove all this wrong,
05:38
which is something that we hear over and over again for all of these lawsuits.
05:41
Because we've seen dozens of them.
05:42
And remember, the federal case is the criminal case is going to go first.
05:46
That starts in May, and then after the outcome of that,
05:52
then all of these lawsuits that we've been telling you about for months and months now,
05:56
then Diddy will start dealing with all of those.
05:58
Presumably, though, if he was found not guilty in the federal case,
06:01
that makes it harder for these other cases in terms of the jurors' minds,
06:06
even if it legally is not supposed to.
06:08
Right.
06:08
Hi, I'm Tiffany from St. Louis.

Currently joining you from San Francisco.
06:13
I think that there might be a few truths thrown in there somewhere
06:19
to some of these allegations,
06:20
but this one almost seems like a fan fiction
06:24
or like there are parts of it that just seem a little fabricated,
06:28
you know, like word salad, all the celebrities thrown in there.
06:32
And usually it comes back that they weren't even anywhere near the area.
06:37
It might be a strategy by his lawyers, but who knows?
06:40
Some of those quotes are hard to believe.
06:41
But by the way, Gloria Estefan comes across great.
06:45
Yes, she was trying to help.
06:46
She's the best person in the whole thing.
06:48
And by the way, we should remind people
06:49
that if you want to learn more about Diddy's defense,
06:52
there's this great TMZ documentary called The Downfall of Diddy,
06:56
his defense, available for free right now on Tubi.
