We have been having a lot of weird encounters during the trial of USA v. Sean Combs. Too many people have been persistently asking the same questions and now it’s starting to just feel weird.
There are people outside the courthouse swinging wooden planks at reporters, spitting on news anchors, and threatening to take someone out with a sock filled with pool balls.
These are all the strange encounters we have had during the Diddy trial.
What is really happening here?

“Did Diddy try to kill Kid Cudi?”
In 2012, only a few gossip pages were wondering this question with the vast majority of readers wondering - “who even comes up with these crazy rumors?”
Now, in 2025, it might not just be a rumor.
Kid Cudi takes the witness stand to testify against Sean Combs. The man who allegedly broke into Kid Cudi’s house, lit his car on fire, and according to a former assistant - the man who wanted Kid Cudi dead.
This is Kid Cudi’s full testimony in the USA v. Sean Combs case and the reactions of celebrities turning on him after his story.

Two full days after the start of the “Diddy Trial” - a new lawsuit is filed. A woman is accusing Sean Combs of SA and states that she recalls his private part being an “itty bitty Diddy.”
She includes a photo of a teeny tiny tootsie roll for reference.
This is just one of the many civil lawsuits filed against Sean Combs. Many of the people that have sued him are also showing up to the trial to testify against him. Which begs the question, how many more witnesses will be coming to get justice?
Dawn Richards, a former band mate of Sean Combs, shows up in court seemingly ready to take him down. To finally tell her story.
She says she watched him attack Cassie with a skillet. That the next morning he threatened her and everyone around them to stay silent. Or else…
But once the cross examination by Diddy’s attorneys begin - it feels like her entire story starts unraveling. Or is that just what Diddy’s attorneys want us to think? This is the truth behind her brutal testimony.

This is the first time they have seen each other since their break up in 2018. Over 6 years.
And now they’re going to be on opposite sides of the courtroom - she’s going to be up on the stand testifying against him.
Detailing all the things she didn’t want to do. The urination. The inflatable pool in the middle of a hotel room filled to the brim with baby oil. The seedy green “adult activity” club in Las Vegas. Even breaking up with Kid Cudi.
And he will sit there and listen for 2 days straight while she tells the jurors about the injuries he gave her. How he stomped on her face and blackmailed her with explicit videos.
All their private messages, photos, and emails will be shown to the court. This is the testimony of Cassie Ventura against Sean Diddy Combs and the reactions of her, her husband, and Sean Combs in the courtroom.
-
The energy in the courtroom has shifted. Sean Combs no longer looks like a statuesque wax figurine. He is now much more animated, literally jumping out of his seat to look at the evidence screen, there is almost an air of anticipation.
But why?
For the past 2 days Cassie Ventura, a government witness and victim in this case, has been testifying against Sean Combs. Now, the defense will begin their cross examination.
Sean Combs’s attorneys will attempt to poke holes in Cassie’s story, discredit her, and show the jurors that she “wanted freak offs.”
Everyone seems to be under the impression that the defense has very slim evidence to accomplish this. Then why is Sean Combs so happy? Do they know something we do not?
-
“Mr. Combs came out of the room, and I just saw a liquor bottle fly past her and hit the wall. He grabbed her by her hair, and started dragging her by her hair into her bedroom. And I could hear what sound like him slapping her. She was screaming. Then Mr. Combs was basically saying, b*tch, when I tell you to come here, you come now, not later.”
“Did you intervene?”
“No, I was terrified.”
This is Day 2 of Diddy’s trial.
-
“The prosecutors already told you about lubricant, and you may know of his love of baby oil. Is that a federal crime? No."
"He uses drugs, he is physical... but is that a federal crime? No."
“We accept full responsibility for the domestic violence present in this case. However, domestic violence does not equate to sex trafficking.”
- Diddy’s Defense Team
This is day 1 of Diddy’s trial.
-
Some attorneys say the case is decided before opening statements in a trial even begin. They believe the trial begins and ends during jury selection.
Picking 12 people to decide what happens to Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Some potential jurors come in - stating they’ve seen the hotel video of Diddy and Cassie. Others mention that they work at HBO - the same company that released a documentary on Diddy’s case. One juror mentions that they work at the very jail that Diddy is currently housed in.
Diddy intently listens to the jurors getting questioned. At times - he shakes his head no, he smiles, he takes notes, and he jokes around with his famous attorneys.
And sometimes…he looks back and stares at the members of the press.
There are no cameras allowed in a federal courtroom. But we were there and we want to tell you what we saw.

There are only a few ways of getting out of it alive. The one rule - no matter how good it feels - DO NOT let sleep whisk you away.
The only options are as follows:1. Cover yourself completely in plastic and only stick your head out to breathe when necessarily.
2. Crawl into a cardboard box and try your best to stay awake.
3. Take the frozen goods and stick them into your clothing.
That is how you stay alive if you are trapped inside of a commercial walk in freezer. Or at least that’s what they say but the odds of survival do not look good.
The police are concerned that, that is where 5 year old, Ashley, is going to be. Maybe she accidentally locked herself in the freezer with no way out?
The officers look through the freezer bins, cardboard boxes filled with packaged meats, and grocery bags…
She’s is not there.
But that’s the thing about humans - we all have a blind spot.
They looked left, right, under the tables of the restaurant… but have they looked up?

The hardest part to understand is - you know that they’re dead but you still expect them to start moving around. That’s what the CSI techs say is the strangest part of their jobs. Well - that and the photographs that they have to take.
The evidence log for the case is extensive. There are pictures of the green door that leads into the unit. Unit #1707.
Pictures of the thick trail of blood leading from the living room couch, into the hallway, and straight into the bedroom.
Pictures of the bloody claw hammer.
Pictures of the brain matter scattered all over the carpet.
But the two pictures the investigators really are intrigued by are the two letters left behind by the killer.
One left for the police. Taunting the police.
“Chase me oh - and sorry for the mess.”
And another one that reads -
“Don’t lose your head. She may yet live (although I doubt it).
Hurry Desirae.”
Desirae is the 23 year old daughter of the murder victim.
Why would they kill Desirae’s mom?
Why are they targeting Desirae now?
And will the killer get to Desirae before the police can?

Where is the first place she goes after being released from prison? The investigators and reports want to know…
They start following her - into the mountains?
The first place she visits has an unsettling feeling. It’s in the middle of the mountains and there is a giant stone monument at the entrance that reads - “final resting place for souls.”
What is that pink building?
It’s a square baby pink shade colored building with NO doors. Just two tiny prison style windows. That’s it.
Outside the building there are all sorts of “offerings” for the spirits…
Whoever built this “temple” built it to feed off the energy of dead spirits. Whoever did this - is using dark magic to their benefit.
When reporters look into it - they realize the pink home allegedly belongs to the President of South Korea and the First Lady of the nation.
The ones accused of using shaman magic to win the election, change the trajectory of the nation, and ultimately lock down the country to take control.

The story starts on TikTok. First, with all the things that don’t make sense.
After Gabby goes missing - the only person that knows where she might be is her fiancé Brian Laundrie. But he’s now missing.
He goes missing for a month straight - before his body is found in a local park in Florida… by his parents. The FBI have been searching for over a month, reportedly spending over a million taxpayer dollars - and his parents find his remains within an hour?
What about his mom’s “Burn After Reading” letter?
She writes that if he needs to bury a body she will bring a shovel.
Or the fact that his remains are completely skeletonized?
These are the things that lead people to believe…there is no way Brian Laundrie is actually dead.
The conspiracy being that he faked his death and is now getting away with murdering his fiancee. But how could that even be possible?
Could he really be living in a bunker under his protective parent’s house? How would they be able to pull something like his off? Is there any truth to the conspiracy? What does the Laundrie family know?

15 days before the murder.
“Hello, I would like to report a dispute. I saw a gentleman slapping the woman.”
The police chase after the van life YouTuber couple in their white, sprinter van. By the end of the hour long investigation of questioning both Gabby and Brian - the two police officers step off to the side to figure out what to do next. One officer tells the other -
“Too many times women who are at risk want to go back to their abuser. They don’t want him charged. They don’t want him to go to jail. Then they end up getting worse and worse treatment and then they end up getting killed.”
The officers decide not to press DV charges….against Gabby. They believe she is the primary aggressor.
In 2 weeks Gabby Petito will be murdered.
And the only person that might know where she is - goes missing.

2 people are rushed into the emergency room. The doctors and nurses don’t ask questions - they have one objective in mind. Save these people.
Both are suffering from stab wounds. Sadly, only 1 of them will make it. 8 year old, Haneul, is deceased from multiple stab wounds to her neck, back, and chest.
The 48 year old woman however, is alive.
The nurses try to piece together what might have happened with the little information they have. The older woman is a teacher. The 8 year old girl was attacked in her elementary school.
Perhaps, a knife wielding madman snuck into the school and attacked the little girl. Perhaps, the teacher tried to protect her student but was stabbed in the process. It will be difficult to tell the teacher that her student that she presumably tried to protect - did not make it.
But when the teacher wakes up - the nurses don’t know how to handle the situation anymore. Because… she is laughing.
She is giggling.
She killed 8 year old Haneul and she is seemingly happy. Content. Giddy with excitement.

“I don’t do naughty things, I’m a really good girl.”
That is what Ruby Franke tells her husband Kevin in a recorded jail call. She’s a really good girl - that almost killed 2 of their youngest children.
She kept them locked away in her marriage counselor/“lovers” mansion basement - torturing them for months. Soon, all the evidence will come out - their abuse diaries, the alleged romantic relationship, and the grim detail that they were planning on buying a 500 acre property in the middle of nowhere to carry out more extreme abuse.
But the question on many people’s minds is - how was nobody else involved and how did nobody else know what was happening?
Kevin Franke, Ruby’s devoted husband, has become the center of conspiracy theories. With people wondering just how much he knew, just how much he’s covering up now, and if he should be charged. Also, why did he try to sue his oldest daughter after his wife was arrested?
What about the mysterious woman - Pam? Two Franke teenage girls were found deep cleaning her home the day of the arrests. How come she doesn’t appear that shocked to find out what Ruby had been doing? Is it because she knew all along?
And what will Ruby and Jodi do to each other in prison? Will they turn on each other to save themselves - or do they still believe everyone is working with the devil?

It was the most viewed home on realtor websites for weeks. It’s a curious looking house. As you swipe through the photos of the 15 foot tall ceilings, the grand glass windows, the $5M price tag starts to make sense.
But what is that? There is an entire concrete bunker like structure underneath the house with its very own panic room. A bank vault door - leading to a room with a toilet and sink.
To keep people out - and to keep people in.
This is the home that Ruby Franke & Jodi Hildebrandt tortured Ruby’s 2 youngest children in. There are detailed diaries left behind by Ruby Franke describing how she tortured them with cactuses, pouring cayenne pepper and honey into their wounds, and all the unique punishments she came up with.
All the while posting podcast episodes - giving advice to other moms.
How to be a perfect mom.
Just like her.

Jodi is one of the most recommended marriage therapists in the area but there’s something about her that feels - wrong.
“Every relationship needs to die in order to be reborn.”
Her pattern is simple yet effective.
Find the husband’s addiction. Each husband has one. It’s usually watching too many explicit videos, staring too long at his female coworkers, or just having too many inappropriate thoughts.
Find the addiction. And stomp. It. Out.
Shame the husband for how he’s ruining the family and give the wife strength and power to run away from him… straight into Jodi’s arms.
It almost seems like that is her intention.
And it seems to work like a charm - every single time.
And just maybe - if Jodi really tries… maybe the men will even end up in prison. Then the wife will have nobody but Jodi.
Youtuber / family blogger, Ruby Franke, should be very familiar with this. Because now all she has - is Jodi.

It’s the middle of the desert and the pavement is scorching hot. If you dare to step barefoot on it, it’s the equivalent of sticking your foot on a cast iron pan on high heat. Enough to cause instant blisters.
But the 12 year old boy has no choice. He has once more chance to escape and he needs to make it to a neighbors house for safety. He crawls out the window and starts pacing. If nobody is home - that could be the end. There are only 3 homes in this part of the desert.
The 1 he’s been locked up and tortured in.
The 1 where nobody would answer the door.
And 1 last chance.
If he can make it there before they catch him. Or if the duct tape around his ankles don’t melt into him.
August 30, 2023 - this little boys escape will kick start an investigation into one of the biggest family vloggers on YouTube.
This is the case of Ruby Franke - the woman who has been vlogging herself abusing her 6 kids for years, and has locked away the two youngest in a windowless safe room - to be tortured.

Police find 10 year old Victoria’s body completely dismembered. Her arms, legs, and organs were severed off and the rest of her body was lit on fire.
When they bring in Victoria’s mother, Michelle, the pieces of the puzzle start coming together.
Michelle states that her boyfriend, Fabian, had been sexually assaulting Victoria.
Michelle states that she liked to watch. But that night in particular it got a bit too wild. Fabian accidentally chokes and kills Victoria during the assault.
Michelle states she sat there and watched Fabian and his cousin dismember Victoria.
Then she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner and soon after had sex with Fabian. This thing is normal for her. She had been going online to find predators to come assault her kid so this is what she wanted.
That’s what Michelle tells the authorities but two years later - she takes it all back. She says it was a false confession.
But that doesn’t explain - what happened to Victoria?
Is there any truth at all to this false confession?
And who is the unknown male DNA they found on Victoria?

A woman walks into the Pavena Foundation.
“You have to help me!! Please!”
She frantically tells the nonprofit that she has just escaped from the country of Georgia. She had been held hostage by an organized crime group that forced her to do unspeakable things. Not only that - there are 100 more girls trapped there.
“What did they make you do?”
They wanted her eggs. Her human eggs. She says the 100 girls were forced to take hormone injections, forcibly go through the IVF process, so the traffickers could take and harvest their eggs.
This is the case - of the human egg farm.
The conspiracies and questions of - who are they selling the eggs to? Where are they getting the victims? Is there a larger industry that we don’t know about? Is this the only organization doing this?
And… is this is the start of the real life “Handmaid’s Tale?”
