FULL SHOW | Diddy’s Defense Try and Prove Cassie Was a Willing Participant; Chris Brown Arrested in the UK; Comedian TK Kirkland Joins the RSMS Crew; and MORE

On the latest episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, the team delved into the ongoing federal trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs, where his defense attorneys are attempting to portray Cassie Ventura as a willing participant in the alleged "freak-off" sessions. Cassie, however, provided harrowing testimony, describing these encounters as coercive and abusive, stating they made her feel "worthless" and likening her experience to being a "sex worker."   In entertainment news, R&B singer Chris Brown was arrested in the UK on May 15, 2025, in connection with a 2023 nightclub assault. He is accused of attacking music producer Abe Diaw with a bottle at London's Tape club, causing serious injuries. Brown was denied bail and is set to appear in court on June 13. Additionally, the RSMS crew discussed the recent drama involving Tamar Braxton, who, during a conversation with NeNe Leakes, made comments perceived as disrespectful towards Loni Love, sparking discussions about professionalism and respect among celebrities. Comedian TK Kirkland also joined the RSMS crew, sharing his insights on current events and providing his unique comedic perspective on the week's headlines.  Website: https://www.urban1podcasts.com/rickey-smiley-morning-show  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
