RICO and Sex Trafficking - Part 3 - Sean Combs aka P. Diddy
from Gavel and Gossip · host Leslie and Kristan
Welcome back to Gavel and Gossip for our final episode of our deep dive into the civil complaints against Sean "P. Diddy" Combs. This time, we're focusing on the lawsuit brought by former model Crystal McKinney. McKinney claims Diddy's actions in 2003, when she was 22, led to her being "blackballed" in the industry, resulting in a downward spiral of depression, anxiety, and even a suicide attempt in 2004. We'll discuss the disturbing similarities to previous Diddy allegations, including being plied with alcohol and a laced joint, and then sexually assaulted in a studio bathroom.But that's not all—we also explore the fascinating connection to Harvey Weinstein, as McKinney has filed a strikingly similar lawsuit against him, alleging a separate, horrific assault involving her roommate. Listen in as we dissect the judge's astonishing order in the Weinstein case, denying McKinney's request to proceed anonymously. This judge's commentary in the order regarding McKinney will leave you speechless, especially the judge's statement that "the person who is responsible for any damage to Jane Doe is Plaintiff herself".This episode tackles the nuances of the New York City Victims of Gender Motivated Violence Protection Act, including its "revival window" that allowed McKinney to bring her 2003 claims over two decades later. We'll discuss concepts like preemption and controlling precedent, and how legal battles regarding "preemption" are playing out in the appeals courts. You won't want to miss our discussion on these intertwining, high-profile cases and the powerful legal arguments being made.
