    Criminal Kingpin Diddy? Every Gut-Punch Testimony That’s Rocked Diddy’s Trial So Far | United States vs. Sean Combs Recap
    Jun 20 2025
    It’s been bombshell after bombshell in the federal trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs, and now we’re breaking down the most gut-wrenching, jaw-dropping testimony the jury has heard so far. From arson and assault to blackmail and balcony threats, the government says this is more than a celebrity scandal: it’s a CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious Ashleigh Banfield rewinds the most damning moments from the trial that prosecutors say could take down an alledged kingpin.

    He was the king of Bad Boy Records: a billionaire mogul, a Grammy winner, and the face of luxury in hip-hop. Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a slew of federal charges in New York, accused of running a criminal enterprise for over two decades. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence.

  • My Deep Dive with Vinnie Politan on the Verdict, Turtleboy, and Possibility of Wrongful Death Suit Against Karen Read?

    My Deep Dive with Vinnie Politan on the Verdict, Turtleboy, and Possibility of Wrongful Death Suit Against Karen Read?
    Jun 19 2025
    Protesters in pink, waving American flags, chanting “Free Karen,” and yes… someone even showed up in a full German shepherd mask with a sign that said, "I bit him, I bit him, I bit him."

    After seven long weeks of explosive testimony… clashing experts… and more sidebars than anyone bargained for… the wait is finally over. On Wednesday, after nearly 16 hours of deliberation, spanning four days, the jurors finally came to an agreement: not guilty on everything except the lesser charge of operating a vehicle under the influence.

    In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield reunites with Court TV’s Vinnie Politan to unpack the surreal scene outside the Karen Read courthouse, where the crowd wasn’t just passionate, they were convinced she was framed. Vinnie shares what made this case unlike anything he’s ever seen, including how quickly the spotlight shifted from Read to Turtleboy, the blogger-turned-defendant facing his own day in court. They dive deep into what’s next for Karen, the real chances of a wrongful death suit, and the family still seeking justice for John O’Keefe. Plus, Ashleigh and Vinnie tackle the Diddy sex trafficking case, RICO charges, and whether Bryan Kohberger’s Idaho murder trial is about to get derailed.

    Jun 19 2025
    It’s Day 26 of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex-trafficking trial, and just as prosecutors prepared to call his alleged drug mule to the stand, the entire day was halted. A sick juror with vertigo forced court to shut down before testimony could begin. But behind the scenes, the legal battle continued over a set of drug-related texts tied to Diddy’s inner circle. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down everything that happened on Day 26.

    He was the king of Bad Boy Records: a billionaire mogul, a Grammy winner, and the face of luxury in hip-hop. Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a slew of federal charges in New York, accused of running a criminal enterprise for over two decades. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and maintains his innocence.
