What’s going on in the world? It feels like Media Takeout is really trying to help Diddy change the narrative and clean up his image. Why does it seem like they’re working hand in hand with Diddy’s defense team, practically doing everything they can to get him a mistrial? Everyone’s talking about the prosecution reading his notes and all the drama, but then Media Takeout posts this: “Media Takeout Exclusive: Diddy Trial of the Century – Footage from the Court.”
This was written by Media Takeout staff, and honestly, I can see why—it’s kind of wild. First off, let me tell you why this is a problem. The Southern District of New York has a rule that forbids filming inside the courtroom. The only thing you’re allowed to do is be in the courtroom and live-tweet. That’s it.
It’s even more serious than that—Inner City Press, who’s been covering the trial in an unbiased way, had their book blocked on Amazon. It seems like Diddy’s team might have played a part in that, trying to mess with the book’s success. Meanwhile, I’ve been live-tweeting everything, and nothing’s been stopped. If you haven’t yet, go follow Inner City Press on Blue Sky and Twitter. Their book is called Did Diddy Do It? and it’s worth checking out.
But here’s the thing: filming in court is illegal. It’s a violation of federal law and considered obstruction of justice. You can even be charged with contempt of court, which can bring serious consequences. And the press isn’t exempt from these laws. If that were the case, CNN, MSNBC, and other major outlets would be sneaking footage out of the courtroom too.
So, it got me thinking: why would Media Takeout do this? And I’ll be honest with you, I’ve been an avid reader of Media Takeout for a long time, a big fan of theirs. But listen to what they’ve just posted. Media Takeout did a month-long investigation into the charges against Sean “Diddy” Combs, and they’ve uncovered some huge information. Now, I’m not saying Media Takeout is officially taking Diddy’s side, but if you look at their recent coverage—especially their Diddy-related articles—you can’t help but notice some interesting things. Here’s a quick rundown:
Diddy claims the feds are spying on him and blocking his laptop.
Footage from Diddy’s high-profile trial.
Cassie tried to settle her lawsuit with Diddy privately.
LeBron James is being tied to Diddy.
I’m not sure if Media Takeout is getting paid by Diddy or what, but I’m genuinely curious as to why they’re doing this. Diddy’s legal team is pushing for a dismissal, and this could be one of the sources they use. I’ll go live later to talk about it more, but this is serious. So why exactly is Media Takeout sharing all of this?
Look, I’m not arguing with Media Takeout—they can cover whatever they want. But I do want to point out that if you post or share these updates, you could find yourself involved in the trial for contempt of court or obstruction of justice. There are real legal risks here. The biggest risk is that Diddy could use this as evidence that he can’t get a fair trial because of media leaks. If that happens, they could push to have the courtroom sealed, which would mean no more public access to the trial. No more testimony, no information about what’s really going on behind the scenes.
That’s what I think they’re trying to do: get the courtroom sealed. If that happens, all the details about the case could be hidden from the public. The prosecution’s evidence, the testimony—everything would be kept out of the media, and people would be left in the dark. It could easily be spun as a PR move.
Then, Media Takeout claims that they’ve spent hundreds of hours speaking to insiders and digging into the Diddy trial, saying they know more about the case than anyone else. I like Media Takeout, but that’s up for debate. They’ve uncovered a lot, and now they’re doing a whole series about Diddy’s trial, possible incarceration, and everything happening behind the scenes. I’m definitely going to keep an eye on their coverage to see what direction they take, but honestly, it sounds like they’re doing exactly what Diddy has been asking influencers to do—not to claim his innocence, but to look deeper into the evidence and show a different side of the story.
This is the first part of our deep dive into the Diddy trial, and we’ve got exclusive footage from his arraignment that you won’t see anywhere else. The prosecution is trying to close the court to the public, but I’m determined to be there and bring you the truth. The video starts by showing the six prosecutors—five women, all white—who are handling the case against the former billionaire. It’s worth noting, though, that the U.S. attorney leading the charges is Black.
The charges are read out by the judge, and they include a bombshell allegation: Diddy is accused of coercing victim one—believed to be Cassie—into engaging in commercial blank acts, a charge typically used against pimps who traffic blank workers. After the charges are presented, Diddy stands up and firmly says, “Not guilty.” Then we get to the exclusive footage, but I’m not playing it for you—and you probably shouldn’t either.
But wait, there’s more. We also obtained footage of the judge’s ruling, where she denies Diddy bail, citing his history of drug abuse, violence, and potential witness tampering. Was the judge right? You can be the judge of that.
Until now, you’ve only heard from media talking heads and social media experts. But Media Takeout is giving you a chance to make up your own mind. Tomorrow, we’ll release the full arguments from both the prosecution and defense, so you can listen for yourself and form your own opinion. This is shaping up to be the trial of the century.
Now, just to be clear, Media Takeout hasn’t actually posted that footage yet. They likely got a cease-and-desist or some kind of legal threat, and honestly, it’s a bit wild that they’re even considering releasing it. I’m not sure what their agenda is, but I have a feeling they might be for sale. They’ve lost the plot.
Also, if you see anyone reposting this footage, know that Media Takeout didn’t release it. It seems like the government stepped in, and sharing that footage could land you in legal trouble. Diddy’s team is probably gunning for a mistrial, or at least pushing for a sealed courtroom.
Let me know what you think in the comments. Talk to you soon. Bye.
