I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everybody.

You know, if you don't lie about that.

Right, Hey, y'all, what's up.

It's Lauren lo Rosa and this is the latest with Laura l Rosa.

This is your DELI dig on all things pop culture, entertainment, news, and all of the conversations that shake the room.

Baby.

All right, y'all, we are gonna get right on into it.

I mean, I guess we do.

We gotta check in behind the scenes of the grind.

For all of my Lowriders that have been here, all of my Lowriders are our listeners, you guys know, behind the scenes of the grind.

The check in is where we really check in and just see how we feeling a little ketchup on like what our days been, like all of the things.

And for all of my new listeners, welcome to the low Rider squad.

You are now family.

Welcome to the community.

So checking in behind the scenes of the grime.

I told y'all I'm gonna count down until Christmas break.

So I am feeling good.

I am you know, get it on through the week.

Today is actually a very eventful day.

I am slated to go and see Candy from Real Housewives of Atlanta on Broadway.

I am just praying that I make it on time, because if you guys don't live in New York or if you've never been to a Broadway show, they don't play.

They start on time.

Okay, do you hear me?

They start on time.

So I'm praying that I make it on time because I want to bring all of the details, all of the details back to you guys.

Y'all see what I did, their te tails back to you guys on just the play and the experience in general and seeing her on Broadway.

I know when Othello was on Broadway, I wanted to go to that play so bad.

And I know she wasn't in the play, but just because she was a part of it.

Of course, Denzel was a part of the play as well.

It was something that I wanted to do so bad but didn't make it.

So I'm excited to go get to see it to be able to talk about it.

So I'll be bringing you guys back that you know, exclusive look into a Broadway night with Candy.

Birds here on the Latest with Laura La Rosa the podcast.

But let's go on into some News because we are some things that are literally breaking today that I want to talk about.

So we are talking about Sean Combs The Reckoning, which is number one on Netflix, and it's reportedly number one on Netflix in forty nine countries.

Okay, So there are a lot of people talking about this documentary and we've been breaking exclusives around it here on the Latest with Laura La Rosa, the podcast, but also on the Latest with Lona Rosa on The Breakfast Club weekday mornings on Power one oh five one here in New York or anywhere you know.

We've syndicated to so many different places, also via the iHeart app.

Now, let's talk about a story that broke today via Rolling Stone.

So Rolling Stone posted a statement and to be honest, this story broke today.

But this is a story that we talked about on The Breakfast Club.

I want to say almost so we could go when the documentary first came out, and I want to say it might have even been the day that they released the trailer of the Netflix documentary.

And the reason why I'm pointing that out is because in this documentary, for those who have not seen it, and for the low riders who have seen it, you guys know, and those who have not seen it do not know.

There is new footage exclusively that fifty cent in his production team obtained, which the documentary's seen centers itself around.

Now.

This new footage is like day to day, almost like vlog style content of Sean Diddy Coombs recording himself the last couple of weeks before he actually was taken into custody.

So you're getting to see everything from private lawyer and attorney phone calls.

You're getting to see, you know, conversations between him and very close friends and family just as things drop, So as Don Richard's lawsuit dropped and he's reaching out to Khaleena Harper to have her make statements on his behalf, him instructing you know, his oldest son justin comes, you know, as he's helping him figure things out, which a lot of people honestly did not take well to seeing.

People felt like it was pretty insane to see him instructing his son to you know, take so much honest and leadership and figuring out Diddy's mess because it wasn't his son's mess to figure out.

But I mean, look that conversation to me, I think is one that you'll never have a fair back and forth about because when it comes to Diddy's children in the role that they should or should not play, because at the end of the day, this is their father, and for some of his kids, he's literally all he has left.

So you know, they're fighting tooth and nail to have their dad, the same way he's fighting tooth and nail to be able to be with his kids and to you know, be able to get back to his life.

But Rolling Stone posted a statement from the videographer who was Diddy's dated day videographer.

Now, a few weeks ago, I told you guys that this videographer in question and it was not on the record statement that there was a videographer and question who was Diddy's day to day like main videographer, that he had proper paperwork and contract, like you know, certain things set up with right.

And because when I saw this exclusive footage, I'm like, how does a man as famous and as business savvy and as business successful as Sean Diddy comb's not paperwork up any videographer, photographer, just anybody in his presence recording such you know, private moments.

And I was told then that he has a main person who follows him around and was following him around because he was in a conversation with the Netflix himself to do his own documentary, but that fell through the conversation with Netflix, and the main videographer who normally records him was out of town for some days, so they sent a third party to record.

Now, at the time, Diddy's legal team did not know if the third party had been properly paid, and you know, there was a lot of things up in the air that they were still trying to figure out.

But they had told me then that you know, this is what happened, and they're still, to be honest with you, trying to figure out where the legal liability lies.

Is it with Netflix?

Because Netflix, you know, when I released the story, gave me a statement saying they obtained everything legally and anything outside of that is just a false narrative that they're not basically, they're not going to feed it to And I'll read you guys a Netflix a statement so that I'm not summing it up that it's exact.

But today the videographer and question put a statement out on the record, on the record, meaning he attached his name and his identity to it.

So he says, for over two years, we have been working on a project profiling Sean Diddy Combs.

The footage in question was not released by me or anyone authorized to handle Sean colmbsterials.

It was by a third party who covered for me for three days while I was out of state.

This incident had nothing to do with any feed dispute or contract issue.

The actions of the parties involved reflect the lack of integrity every storyteller should have hold.

Taking footage intended for our project to advance a narrative that was not our own is both unethical and unacceptable.

Michael, his name is Michael Arberleze or Michael Arbalized, and he gave that statement to Rolling Stone, but and then Diddy's team sent it out wide.

Right again, this is something that I told the world about a week or so ago.

The only difference is that now he's going on the record, which I will say.

The reason why you know, I think this is being disgusted again, even though we've already had this conversation, is because now when you go on record and you put someone else in front of this statement besides Diddy or Diddy's publicist.

It's like, Okay, somebody else is willing to stand in front of the gun and take the bullet, regardless if you feel like he's being pushed to, you know, allegedly by Diddy's team or whatever, if you think this is a PR cleanup or whatever.

It's just different when someone is willing to stand on what is being said.

I will tell you, guys, I did reach back out to Netflix and I said, hey, I know I reached out to you guys some time ago on this statement.

But he's now come out on the record and he's standing on it, and he's doubling down, and I want to read you, guys the statement that Netflix gave me.

So.

Netflix gave me this statement on December third, So they said the claims being made about Sean Combs the reckoning are false.

The project has no ties to any past conversations between Seawan Combs and Netflix.

The footage of Colmes leading up to his indictment and arrests were legally obtained.

This is not a hit piece or an act of retribution.

Curtis Jackson is an executive producer, but does not have creative control.

No one was paid to participate, you know, and moving forward again.

I reached out to Netflix and see if there was anything that they wanted to update and say in response, you know, since this is back out there again and haven't heard anything back yet.

And I called Diddy's team back and I said, you know, I understand that, you know, re releasing a statement and having you know, now this videographer who's willing to put his face and his name out there on it.

I understand that right now you guys are basically attempting to poke holes and the legality of what they obtained because you want to take legal action of your own to ask them.

I said, you know, are you guys planning legal action?

And so what does that look like?

Toma?

I was told that there are conversations about a lawsuit, which we know though because they sent a cease and desist, but to be able to say, because you can send a seat to desist and have some conversations and then back off, right.

But when I saw this statement, I said, oh, conversations behind the scenes between Netflix and Diddy's team must not be going well or they're not happening at all.

So I'm like, are you guys planning a lawsuit?

Still?

At this point, and they said there are conversations about potential lawsuits because at this point Netflix has not responded at all to their seats and desists.

There has been no conversation since the cease and desist was since between Diddy's team and Netflix.

Diddy team, of course, is doubling down on their allegation that the filmmaker did not obtain the footage legally.

So what they're saying is that Netflix can claim that they obtained the footage legally in how they went about it from the filmmaker who had it, but Diddy team is saying that filmmaker didn't have legal right to even license or sell it to Netflix in the first place.

But I would be very surprised if an organization as big dealing with as much media content and licensing as they do, you know, I'm assuming daily as a Netflix, I would be very surprised if they went about this the wrong way legally.

I think Diddy's team is fighting a very uphill battle here.

I mean, it's not impossible, right because you would also think that someone like a Sean Colmes would have, you know, dotted his eyes and crossed his t's when it came to especially knowing what this footage is and how sensitive it is and how sensitive of a time legally in his life this is for him.

But obviously something went wrong somewhere.

So right now we're watching a battle between the two trying to figure out where where the liability lies.

Did Diddy mess up legally and not you know, contract everyone the way because at first we thought that this was a money issue.

The videographer is now saying, no, this is not a money issue.

This is an ethic you know.

And then the legality issue.

Right so Diddy seem is trying to figure out if they do move for what a laws to right now what they're trying to discover, but it's kind of hard for them to get an answer to or to get a It's kind of hard for them to figure it out because they're not having conversations with Netflix, Like Netflix is not responding to them.

It's who legally would they even go after?

Is it the filmmaker who was with Diddy, like his main filmmaker who contracted the third party?

Is it the third party videoographer?

Or is it Netflix?

And I'm like, well, what do you guys do?

Because what if they just never respond to you because you don't have to respond to a cease and desist, and they're you know, they're like, well, then we could just move forward legally, take it to court, and legally they would be demanded to respond and they would have to go from there.

So we'll see how this plays out.

But in the meantime, I don't know if y'all saw, you know, all of the means and the he he ha ha about fifty Cent doing that ABC interview with Robin Roberts to roll out his project because ABC is able to be streamed in the prisons because it's you know, they get that like broadcast.

They can watch certain broadcasts television stations, right, So I asked about that.

I'm like, look, I know, y'all got a lot of other things to deal with, but I've been seeing this and I'm just wondering, what is the validity of this, like because fifty cent just spoke about it.

So fifty cent did an interview where he spoke about it and spoke about you know, the fact that people were calling him petty for doing the interview, was speaking to gold Derby.

It did characterize it as a hit piece in the very beginning.

Is because they didn't get a chance to watch it, you know when they were saying that, and then after they say it, you see everyone's changed their mind and it becomes the number one dog.

But also someone calling it a hip piece was a statement from Diddy's team.

So I mean, what's your response to Diddy seem of course they're going to probably have an opinion, And then what's your opinion on people that just say that you're petty?

Are you petty?

I accept that, I'll take that out wear that I'm fine, you know, like I have antics that I've become comfortable on social media because of the usage of social media.

That's just that, you.

Know what I mean.

Like, but when they look at they'll say, me deciding to go on ABC, it's petty The Morning Shows the biggest show these people they came they came from.

It's a great opportunity to be on that actual platform.

And then but they looked at it it further and said, it's airing in prison.

So this would be why I would like to do that, And it didn't come across as a reason not to.

Of course I was aware that it would be airing.

What do you think about like a possibility of him having some sort of comeback when he gets out of prison.

Do you think that's a possibility.

I'm not a comeback like in music.

Yeah, just I mean, w are people going to just be over this?

Well?

I don't think he'll have a comeback with people aware that he's behind it.

I do think that his passion for music may allow him to go back to make music because he knows that's what he knows, right, And you can do it and again without meeting the record company, like the artists of meeting the audience before they meet the record company now, so you could do those things and develop things of value, and when the company is interested, you end up making the deal.

But they don't know that they did the deal with the public doesn't know they to deal with him, you know what I'm saying.

So he would be able to do that, but I don't see him like publicly people supporting them, and.

Diddy's team says, I can't guarantee that he watched it.

You know, he hasn't mentioned it, but yes, he could have watched it if he wanted to.

But I can't guarantee that he did, and he didn't mention it to us.

But it's just the way that fifty cent is calculated is like insane, Like it's really insane.

But we'll be back with more because obviously this is gonna flush yourself out.

I'm gonna go back and get a Netflix before the night ends, and hopefully i'll get something so I'll keep you guys updated.
