Who the F*** Were We Working For?
Wed, 04 Jun 2025
Aubrey shares her thoughts after what she calls another day of damning testimony in the Diddy trial. But was the music mogul always a ‘monster?’ Or did Diddy lose the plot along the way? Aubrey confronts her own complex feelings about the defendant in her most raw reveal to date. Plus, what Aubrey considers the most telling piece of information that proves his guilt, and who she says would seal his fate if they were to take the stand for the prosecution.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Chapter 1: What shocking revelations came out of the Diddy trial?
But what are we talking about potentially? How damaging could it be? This is a guy who knows about all the money.
All the money and where the payments were going. You know, like Cassie established in the beginning, she was an artist that was signed to release 10 albums. There is a paycheck that goes alongside that and they recoup things, obviously, but you get consistent paychecks. She made it very clear early on her full time job became doing these sex parties and these freak offs and recovering.
So she was still getting paid as a bad boy employee, though. As we saw these things going on while Danity Kane was still there, I remember there were a lot of feelings of why do we have a platinum album? At this point, we had one. This was before our second one.
And we would sit there and kind of see a lot of very luxurious things happening and wondering why are we the ones that have the platinum albums and we're still sitting on the floor wearing Forever 21 writing songs like Mad Women and Um, and weren't carrying the bags that Cassie had or arriving in the cars that Cassie was in.
I mean, it was like almost this unfair feeling, but she was so sweet to us. It wasn't necessarily toward her, but there was always questions of like, it was very, it was always, we were always very curious as to where the money is going and where we're seeing it going versus who's actually earning it and keeping the whole place afloat.
But also in regards to Derek, he will probably get into the whole financial structure. I'm sure he was paying allegedly many people off. There's a lot of DNAs going on. I'm sorry. NDAs. There's a lot of NDAs. I haven't had my coffee yet, guys.
No, you were right about the DNAs.
There's a lot of DNAs left behind in hotel rooms and blood and urine and other things.
Yes, it's all over. It's all over. You'll get that one light and turn off to go to the dark. Lord Jesus. But but no, there's there's a lot of NDA talk going on on the stand. And in general, I was even given a NDA when I left and it said certain things. That I could never do if I wanted to be let out of my contract.

Chapter 2: Who is Mia and why is her testimony important?
Yeah.
Testified that Diddy brought in a hundred grand in a paper bag to give him and another security guard to be quiet and to give him that video of him beating Cassie. Is that in line? Did you ever see things like that? Is that something common or I guess just in line with what you knew about Diddy? All for a rhyme.
It was always very common for people to come in and clean up after his messes, yes, absolutely. What's interesting in that piece of testimony, because we know about the video, we've watched it 15 times, they slowed it down, rewind it, chopped and screwed and swerved it, we know what the video is. What's interesting in his testimony that stood out was, we heard that KK name again,
KK came and gave him a visit. KK told him, hey, he was really out of it. He was like super drunk. I forgot exactly the words that she used. Intoxicated were the words that she used. And that he didn't recall it. But what I thought was interesting when he said that is, hmm... When the video first came out, he said my behavior was disgusting.
I went back and watched it to see if there was any type of recalling in his little statement that he made. And then I started looking through the transcripts and realized they came forward and their answer to this video originally was... Cassie stole his phone. It wasn't about a freak off. There was no such sexual situation. He was pissed because she took off with his property.
He shouldn't have behaved that way. But she stole something of his that was suggested and thrown out there as something that could maybe stick. Well, if you recall that she took your cell phone, then certainly you have to be able to recall that.
everything else and so what KK then said to what Eddie Garcia testified to would then be have been allegedly not true and if he was intoxicated and didn't remember any of it then I don't think KK would have been sent over to make sure that everything was handled with the video because he wouldn't have remembered it
Yeah, and his name was saved in her phone as Eddie, my angel, I believe. But I thought some of the details that Garcia testified to were so fascinating.
KK's getting on this stand, y'all. I keep saying it. She about to come on this stand.

Chapter 3: What insights does Derek Ferguson provide about Diddy's financial practices?
Aubrey, I'm curious because. You described the testimony, and I think most people would agree, as horrific. And yet it's so interesting to hear you say before the trial you had periods of sympathy for him. You felt like maybe people were piling on or jumping onto the bandwagon. But now that you've heard some of this incredible testimony,
Are you even shocked even given what you, we started out speaking to you and you have had your experiences, you're doing your exploration and your investigation, but even someone who was around him for as much as you were and thought you knew the good and the bad and the ugly, what has been your level of shock at least?
Or what's been your reaction to what you're hearing versus what you thought you were gonna hear?
You know, I have the same type of feeling that everyone on the stand continues to say, which is there is this good side of him. There is a side that you can love. That side is so palpable that people will still write him after their abuse with loving messages or thoughts or feelings. It doesn't mean that everything that's going on isn't very criminal.
It just means that this is very complex and layered. And to suggest that there is nothing good about this person is... a very bold thing to suggest. And that's kind of what 80 civil suits were giving to on top, top, on top, on top of each other for years, year and a half or so.
And, and then, you know, as it's starting to be put together, there are days that I drive home and call people that also were around during that time, not my band members, but people in the industry. And we just like sit in silence and, pull up to wherever we're going and say, who the fuck were we working for? Who is he? What were we in? How were we put with this person? Like, why?
How could this have gone so unchecked by so many very high-level corporate people that gave him branding deals and TV shows and platforms to take young, impressionable artists and have them be exploited in ways that are just so degrading and humiliating that... I don't know. I just it's just being discussed in so many circles is just being so known to people. Suge Knight has said it a few times.
Everybody knew what Puff was on. Everybody knew this was going on. Even I said everyone knew there was behaviors like everybody knew the sex parties. Everybody knows. I know all kinds of little tea that I could drop it legally. I wouldn't because it turns you into a gossip versus somebody that's reporting on actual
events that are occurring in this trial and I'm not interested in being Wendy Williams even though I do love her but for me I'm just trying I was trying to find if there was a soul in there somewhere if there's something redeemable even in if he serves all the time that he should because I believe that they've hit the threshold on all five charges will he be able to find himself when he if
