00:00:00 --> 00:00:00 All
00:00:00 --> 00:00:04 right, guys. So, this is part two, day
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07 two of Dawn Rashard's testimony. I'm
00:00:07 --> 00:00:09 going to go ahead and get right into it.
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11 Make sure you hit that like and share.
00:00:11 --> 00:00:15 So, here we go. So, they're um actually
00:00:15 --> 00:00:20 circling back to uh the testimony that
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24 Don Rashard did on Friday. So, the
00:00:24 --> 00:00:27 defense is arguing that Dawn had some
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29 inconsistencies. So that's the reason
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32 for they're going backwards. So here we
00:00:32 --> 00:00:35 go. Uh defense attorney presses Rashard
00:00:35 --> 00:00:38 about Comb's words after 2009 kitchen
00:00:38 --> 00:00:41 incident. Uh defense attorney Nicole
00:00:41 --> 00:00:43 West Morland is challenging part of Dawn
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46 Rashard's testimony about what Rashard
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47 said
00:00:47 --> 00:00:50 um about the skillet incident in the
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53 kitchen. Rashard testified last week
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55 that the day after the Skila incident,
00:00:55 --> 00:00:58 Combmes brought her and artist Kina
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01 Harper into a studio, locked the door,
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03 and told them it was in their best
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05 interest not to say anything about the
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08 incident and that where he comes from,
00:01:08 --> 00:01:10 people go missing. West Morland
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12 referenced documents from several of
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15 Rashard's meetings with prosecutors that
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17 didn't include Combmes saying that
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20 people go missing. Rashard answered that
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22 she didn't recall not telling
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25 prosecutors that part and maintain that
00:01:25 --> 00:01:28 Combmes actually did say that. The first
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30 time you mentioned and alleged that Mr.
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32 Combmes told you that people go missing
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35 was a week ago on May 10th, 2025, West
00:01:35 --> 00:01:39 Morland asked. No, Richard responded.
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41 West Morland then brought up another
00:01:41 --> 00:01:44 incident that was included in uh
00:01:44 --> 00:01:47 Rashard's civil complaint that alleges
00:01:47 --> 00:01:49 Holmes pulled Ventura out of a car which
00:01:49 --> 00:01:53 later told prosecutors didn't
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56 happen. Uh Rashard testified that was a
00:01:56 --> 00:01:58 misquote from a lawyer and confirmed she
00:01:58 --> 00:02:01 told prosecutors it didn't
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04 happen. Uh let's see. Defense attorney
00:02:04 --> 00:02:06 suggests Rashard's account of kitchen
00:02:06 --> 00:02:09 incident has changed over time. Defense
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11 attorney Nicole West Morland is going
00:02:11 --> 00:02:14 over a portion of Dawn Dawn's testimony
00:02:14 --> 00:02:16 from Friday in which she said she
00:02:16 --> 00:02:19 witnessed Diddy attack Ventur when she
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21 was cooking him eggs in the kitchen of
00:02:21 --> 00:02:25 his California home in 2009. West Moring
00:02:25 --> 00:02:27 has suggested that Rashard's account of
00:02:27 --> 00:02:31 this incident has changed over time. On
00:02:31 --> 00:02:33 Friday, Rashard testified she saw
00:02:33 --> 00:02:35 Combmes attempting to strike Ventur with
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38 the skillet, but Ventur ducked and fell
00:02:38 --> 00:02:41 to the floor in a fetal position. In a
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43 demand letter to Combmes in
00:02:43 --> 00:02:47 2024, Rashard's letter asserted that she
00:02:47 --> 00:02:50 heard the frying pan hit the wall, but
00:02:50 --> 00:02:53 didn't witness the altercation. Rashard
00:02:53 --> 00:02:56 says she wasn't aware of what claims her
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58 lawyers made on her
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01 behalf. In an October 2024 interview,
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03 Rashard told prosecutors Comolmes
00:03:03 --> 00:03:06 actually struck Vento with a frying pan.
00:03:06 --> 00:03:08 West Morland said, citing government
00:03:08 --> 00:03:10 notes from the interview. In another
00:03:10 --> 00:03:13 interview with prosecutors,
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15 uh Rashard said Combmes threw the eggs
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18 at Ventura, not using the pan. On the
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20 stand today, Rashard said she recounted
00:03:20 --> 00:03:22 the incident over time to the best of
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24 her memory.
00:03:24 --> 00:03:27 So, it it goes on, guys, um to start
00:03:27 --> 00:03:30 talking about
00:03:30 --> 00:03:35 um Dawn's career and how she
00:03:35 --> 00:03:37 [Music]
00:03:37 --> 00:03:41 um let's see, and how she wasn't getting
00:03:41 --> 00:03:43 paid. So, I'm going to skip down a
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45 little bit because it kind of gets into
00:03:45 --> 00:03:48 a little stuff that is not really
00:03:48 --> 00:03:50 necessary to talk
00:03:50 --> 00:03:54 about because they kind of went into a
00:03:54 --> 00:03:57 sidebar. And so, what they're really
00:03:57 --> 00:03:59 doing now is they're basically trying to
00:03:59 --> 00:04:04 to jam Dawn up by saying um you know,
00:04:04 --> 00:04:07 after the Dirty Money group had
00:04:07 --> 00:04:11 dismantled Sean uh Dawn went solo. So,
00:04:11 --> 00:04:13 what they're saying is they're asking
00:04:13 --> 00:04:16 her how was her solo career and saying
00:04:16 --> 00:04:18 that it wasn't as successful as her
00:04:18 --> 00:04:21 career with Danny Kane or Dirty Money.
00:04:21 --> 00:04:23 And they're say they're, you know,
00:04:23 --> 00:04:27 making her basically agree to this and
00:04:27 --> 00:04:30 just saying that this you're what you're
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32 doing this for a money grab. And she's
00:04:32 --> 00:04:35 basically saying, "No, you know, yeah, I
00:04:35 --> 00:04:36 want more money, but it's not
00:04:36 --> 00:04:38 necessarily a money grab." She's I think
00:04:38 --> 00:04:41 she was actually only suing for like in
00:04:41 --> 00:04:44 her lawsuit in December. No, no,
00:04:44 --> 00:04:47 December of last year. Her lawsuit was
00:04:47 --> 00:04:49 what she said she was owed in
00:04:49 --> 00:04:53 compensation because of her long hours
00:04:53 --> 00:04:55 and I think she wrote on some things and
00:04:55 --> 00:04:58 she never got paid for it. And y'all
00:04:58 --> 00:05:00 know Diddy, come on, we got to be honest
00:05:00 --> 00:05:03 with it. Diddy don't like to pay nobody.
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05 So she said she's not suing for other
00:05:05 --> 00:05:07 stuff. basically she just wants, you
00:05:07 --> 00:05:11 know, what what he was owed. So, you
00:05:11 --> 00:05:13 know, if she wrote on some stuff and
00:05:13 --> 00:05:14 this and that, yeah, I say go ahead and
00:05:14 --> 00:05:17 pay her, you know. So, but they're
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18 trying to make it sound like this whole
00:05:18 --> 00:05:21 thing is about the money. So,
00:05:21 --> 00:05:24 um that's what she that's what she said.
00:05:24 --> 00:05:26 And they they went ahead and, you know,
00:05:26 --> 00:05:29 asked her, you know, why are you doing
00:05:29 --> 00:05:31 this? and she said basically it's for
00:05:31 --> 00:05:35 justice and it was justice for her uh
00:05:35 --> 00:05:36 justice for
00:05:37 --> 00:05:40 Cassie and you know that kind of thing.
00:05:41 --> 00:05:45 Um I think they also cross-examined
00:05:45 --> 00:05:48 her and they saw some inconsistencies
00:05:48 --> 00:05:50 about the powpow
00:05:50 --> 00:05:53 uh situation.
00:05:53 --> 00:05:56 Um, first she said she she she did see
00:05:56 --> 00:06:04 him with a pow pow and then let me
00:06:04 --> 00:06:06 see. Then she said he never pulled it
00:06:06 --> 00:06:09 out. That kind of thing. So they did
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11 kind of jam her up a little bit with
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13 that kind of stuff.
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15 [Music]
00:06:15 --> 00:06:17 Um, and it there was some
00:06:17 --> 00:06:20 inconsistencies, but you know, I I don't
00:06:20 --> 00:06:23 know if this
00:06:23 --> 00:06:27 actually helped the case
00:06:27 --> 00:06:31 or did any, you know, or or or hindered
00:06:31 --> 00:06:34 it. I I'll put that or hindered the case
00:06:34 --> 00:06:38 at all. So, we'll see. I'm gonna be
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40 honest. I thought that they were going
00:06:40 --> 00:06:43 to talk more about um things that were
00:06:43 --> 00:06:46 in her suit because she did mention in
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48 her suit that at some of these parties
00:06:48 --> 00:06:52 that Puffy had some minors there. So, I
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54 don't know if they thought it wasn't
00:06:54 --> 00:06:58 best to bring this up um because she had
00:06:58 --> 00:07:00 some inconsistencies in her stories. I I
00:07:00 --> 00:07:03 don't know. But if they didn't bring it
00:07:03 --> 00:07:05 up now, they're probably going to bring
00:07:05 --> 00:07:07 it up later with somebody else's stuff
00:07:07 --> 00:07:11 because I believe that he is supposedly
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13 uh going to be charged with that. So,
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14 they're going to have to bring it up at
00:07:14 --> 00:07:16 some point. But that's pretty much it,
00:07:16 --> 00:07:19 guys. Um I'll update you later. Don't
00:07:19 --> 00:07:21 forget to watch my other videos. Make
00:07:21 --> 00:07:23 sure you like and share. Talk to you
00:07:23 --> 00:07:26 later. Bye-bye.
