This is the first time they have seen each other since their break up in 2018. Over 6 years.  And now they’re going to be on opposite sides of the courtroom - she’s going to be up on the stand testifying against him.  Detailing all the things she didn’t want to do. The urination. The inflatable pool in the middle of a hotel room filled to the brim with baby oil. The seedy green “adult activity” club in Las Vegas. Even breaking up with Kid Cudi.  And he will sit there and listen for 2 days straight while she tells the jurors about the injuries he gave her. How he stomped on her face and blackmailed her with explicit videos.  All their private messages, photos, and emails will be shown to the court. This is the testimony of Cassie Ventura against Sean Diddy Combs and the reactions of her, her husband, and Sean Combs in the courtroom.    Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com 

“Mr. Combs came out of the room, and I just saw a liquor bottle fly past her and hit the wall. He grabbed her by her hair, and started dragging her by her hair into her bedroom. And I could hear what sound like him slapping her. She was screaming. Then Mr. Combs was basically saying, b*tch, when I tell you to come here, you come now, not later.”“Did you intervene?”“No, I was terrified.” This is Day 2 of Diddy’s trial.

“The prosecutors already told you about lubricant, and you may know of his love of baby oil. Is that a federal crime? No.""He uses drugs, he is physical... but is that a federal crime? No."“We accept full responsibility for the domestic violence present in this case. However, domestic violence does not equate to sex trafficking.”- Diddy’s Defense Team This is day 1 of Diddy’s trial.

Some attorneys say the case is decided before opening statements in a trial even begin. They believe the trial begins and ends during jury selection.  Picking 12 people to decide what happens to Sean “Diddy” Combs.  Some potential jurors come in - stating they’ve seen the hotel video of Diddy and Cassie. Others mention that they work at HBO - the same company that released a documentary on Diddy’s case. One juror mentions that they work at the very jail that Diddy is currently housed in.  Diddy intently listens to the jurors getting questioned. At times - he shakes his head no, he smiles, he takes notes, and he jokes around with his famous attorneys.  And sometimes…he looks back and stares at the members of the press.  There are no cameras allowed in a federal courtroom. But we were there and we want to tell you what we saw.    Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

There are only a few ways of getting out of it alive. The one rule - no matter how good it feels - DO NOT let sleep whisk you away.The only options are as follows:1. Cover yourself completely in plastic and only stick your head out to breathe when necessarily.2. Crawl into a cardboard box and try your best to stay awake.3. Take the frozen goods and stick them into your clothing. That is how you stay alive if you are trapped inside of a commercial walk in freezer. Or at least that’s what they say but the odds of survival do not look good. The police are concerned that, that is where 5 year old, Ashley, is going to be. Maybe she accidentally locked herself in the freezer with no way out? The officers look through the freezer bins, cardboard boxes filled with packaged meats, and grocery bags… She’s is not there.But that’s the thing about humans - we all have a blind spot.They looked left, right, under the tables of the restaurant… but have they looked up?     Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

The hardest part to understand is - you know that they’re dead but you still expect them to start moving around. That’s what the CSI techs say is the strangest part of their jobs. Well - that and the photographs that they have to take. The evidence log for the case is extensive. There are pictures of the green door that leads into the unit. Unit #1707. Pictures of the thick trail of blood leading from the living room couch, into the hallway, and straight into the bedroom.Pictures of the bloody claw hammer.Pictures of the brain matter scattered all over the carpet. But the two pictures the investigators really are intrigued by are the two letters left behind by the killer. One left for the police. Taunting the police.“Chase me oh - and sorry for the mess.” And another one that reads -“Don’t lose your head. She may yet live (although I doubt it).Hurry Desirae.” Desirae is the 23 year old daughter of the murder victim.Why would they kill Desirae’s mom?Why are they targeting Desirae now?And will the killer get to Desirae before the police can?    Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com 

Where is the first place she goes after being released from prison? The investigators and reports want to know…They start following her - into the mountains? The first place she visits has an unsettling feeling. It’s in the middle of the mountains and there is a giant stone monument at the entrance that reads - “final resting place for souls.” What is that pink building?It’s a square baby pink shade colored building with NO doors. Just two tiny prison style windows. That’s it.Outside the building there are all sorts of “offerings” for the spirits… Whoever built this “temple” built it to feed off the energy of dead spirits. Whoever did this - is using dark magic to their benefit. When reporters look into it - they realize the pink home allegedly belongs to the President of South Korea and the First Lady of the nation. The ones accused of using shaman magic to win the election, change the trajectory of the nation, and ultimately lock down the country to take control.    Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

The story starts on TikTok. First, with all the things that don’t make sense.  After Gabby goes missing - the only person that knows where she might be is her fiancé Brian Laundrie. But he’s now missing.  He goes missing for a month straight - before his body is found in a local park in Florida… by his parents. The FBI have been searching for over a month, reportedly spending over a million taxpayer dollars - and his parents find his remains within an hour? What about his mom’s “Burn After Reading” letter?She writes that if he needs to bury a body she will bring a shovel.  Or the fact that his remains are completely skeletonized?These are the things that lead people to believe…there is no way Brian Laundrie is actually dead.  The conspiracy being that he faked his death and is now getting away with murdering his fiancee. But how could that even be possible?  Could he really be living in a bunker under his protective parent’s house? How would they be able to pull something like his off? Is there any truth to the conspiracy? What does the Laundrie family know? 

15 days before the murder.  “Hello, I would like to report a dispute. I saw a gentleman slapping the woman.” The police chase after the van life YouTuber couple in their white, sprinter van. By the end of the hour long investigation of questioning both Gabby and Brian - the two police officers step off to the side to figure out what to do next. One officer tells the other -  “Too many times women who are at risk want to go back to their abuser. They don’t want him charged. They don’t want him to go to jail. Then they end up getting worse and worse treatment and then they end up getting killed.”  The officers decide not to press DV charges….against Gabby. They believe she is the primary aggressor.  In 2 weeks Gabby Petito will be murdered. And the only person that might know where she is - goes missing.   Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com 

2 people are rushed into the emergency room. The doctors and nurses don’t ask questions - they have one objective in mind. Save these people.  Both are suffering from stab wounds. Sadly, only 1 of them will make it. 8 year old, Haneul, is deceased from multiple stab wounds to her neck, back, and chest.  The 48 year old woman however, is alive.  The nurses try to piece together what might have happened with the little information they have. The older woman is a teacher. The 8 year old girl was attacked in her elementary school.  Perhaps, a knife wielding madman snuck into the school and attacked the little girl. Perhaps, the teacher tried to protect her student but was stabbed in the process. It will be difficult to tell the teacher that her student that she presumably tried to protect - did not make it.  But when the teacher wakes up - the nurses don’t know how to handle the situation anymore. Because… she is laughing.  She is giggling.  She killed 8 year old Haneul and she is seemingly happy. Content. Giddy with excitement.      Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

“I don’t do naughty things, I’m a really good girl.” That is what Ruby Franke tells her husband Kevin in a recorded jail call. She’s a really good girl - that almost killed 2 of their youngest children.  She kept them locked away in her marriage counselor/“lovers” mansion basement - torturing them for months. Soon, all the evidence will come out - their abuse diaries, the alleged romantic relationship, and the grim detail that they were planning on buying a 500 acre property in the middle of nowhere to carry out more extreme abuse.  But the question on many people’s minds is - how was nobody else involved and how did nobody else know what was happening? Kevin Franke, Ruby’s devoted husband, has become the center of conspiracy theories. With people wondering just how much he knew, just how much he’s covering up now, and if he should be charged. Also, why did he try to sue his oldest daughter after his wife was arrested? What about the mysterious woman - Pam? Two Franke teenage girls were found deep cleaning her home the day of the arrests. How come she doesn’t appear that shocked to find out what Ruby had been doing? Is it because she knew all along? And what will Ruby and Jodi do to each other in prison? Will they turn on each other to save themselves - or do they still believe everyone is working with the devil?   Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

It was the most viewed home on realtor websites for weeks. It’s a curious looking house. As you swipe through the photos of the 15 foot tall ceilings, the grand glass windows, the $5M price tag starts to make sense.  But what is that? There is an entire concrete bunker like structure underneath the house with its very own panic room. A bank vault door - leading to a room with a toilet and sink.  To keep people out - and to keep people in. This is the home that Ruby Franke & Jodi Hildebrandt tortured Ruby’s 2 youngest children in. There are detailed diaries left behind by Ruby Franke describing how she tortured them with cactuses, pouring cayenne pepper and honey into their wounds, and all the unique punishments she came up with.  All the while posting podcast episodes - giving advice to other moms. How to be a perfect mom. Just like her.   Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com 

Jodi is one of the most recommended marriage therapists in the area but there’s something about her that feels - wrong.  “Every relationship needs to die in order to be reborn.” Her pattern is simple yet effective. Find the husband’s addiction. Each husband has one. It’s usually watching too many explicit videos, staring too long at his female coworkers, or just having too many inappropriate thoughts.  Find the addiction. And stomp. It. Out. Shame the husband for how he’s ruining the family and give the wife strength and power to run away from him… straight into Jodi’s arms.  It almost seems like that is her intention. And it seems to work like a charm - every single time. And just maybe - if Jodi really tries… maybe the men will even end up in prison. Then the wife will have nobody but Jodi.  Youtuber / family blogger, Ruby Franke, should be very familiar with this. Because now all she has - is Jodi.    Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

It’s the middle of the desert and the pavement is scorching hot. If you dare to step barefoot on it, it’s the equivalent of sticking your foot on a cast iron pan on high heat. Enough to cause instant blisters. But the 12 year old boy has no choice. He has once more chance to escape and he needs to make it to a neighbors house for safety. He crawls out the window and starts pacing. If nobody is home - that could be the end. There are only 3 homes in this part of the desert. The 1 he’s been locked up and tortured in.The 1 where nobody would answer the door.And 1 last chance. If he can make it there before they catch him. Or if the duct tape around his ankles don’t melt into him. August 30, 2023 - this little boys escape will kick start an investigation into one of the biggest family vloggers on YouTube. This is the case of Ruby Franke - the woman who has been vlogging herself abusing her 6 kids for years, and has locked away the two youngest in a windowless safe room - to be tortured.   Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

Police find 10 year old Victoria’s body completely dismembered. Her arms, legs, and organs were severed off and the rest of her body was lit on fire. When they bring in Victoria’s mother, Michelle, the pieces of the puzzle start coming together. Michelle states that her boyfriend, Fabian, had been sexually assaulting Victoria. Michelle states that she liked to watch. But that night in particular it got a bit too wild. Fabian accidentally chokes and kills Victoria during the assault. Michelle states she sat there and watched Fabian and his cousin dismember Victoria. Then she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner and soon after had sex with Fabian. This thing is normal for her. She had been going online to find predators to come assault her kid so this is what she wanted. That’s what Michelle tells the authorities but two years later - she takes it all back. She says it was a false confession. But that doesn’t explain - what happened to Victoria?Is there any truth at all to this false confession? And who is the unknown male DNA they found on Victoria?   Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

A woman walks into the Pavena Foundation. “You have to help me!! Please!” She frantically tells the nonprofit that she has just escaped from the country of Georgia. She had been held hostage by an organized crime group that forced her to do unspeakable things. Not only that - there are 100 more girls trapped there. “What did they make you do?” They wanted her eggs. Her human eggs. She says the 100 girls were forced to take hormone injections, forcibly go through the IVF process, so the traffickers could take and harvest their eggs. This is the case - of the human egg farm. The conspiracies and questions of - who are they selling the eggs to? Where are they getting the victims? Is there a larger industry that we don’t know about? Is this the only organization doing this? And… is this is the start of the real life “Handmaid’s Tale?”   Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com 

The man is walking alone in the rain. He’s not pacing, or trying to cover his face with his arm, he is just slowly walking in the rain. He looks like he’s in the middle of a k-drama scene. To his left there is a whole wall of reporters just silently recording him. Waiting to see what he’s going to do next. He gives them what they want. He collapses onto the ground and cries out to the skies. “My wife!” This is not just a random man having a mental breakdown. This is billionaire Fei. One of the “Young Masters of Beijing.” A group of billionaire boys who are known to be party playboys. His ex wife, Barbie, has just passed away. But why is he crying in the rain? Wasn’t he the one that cheated on her? The one that was accused of being violent towards her? And why won’t his billionaire mom stop trash talking Barbie on her livestreams - even after her death?   Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

In Brazil, this specific prison is known as the “real dungeons.” Because once you get in - you feel like you’re trapped in hell until they let you out. That is - if you can even get out alive. BBC reporters are there to interview one of the most high profile prisoners. Every single prisoner in there has been deemed a dangerous criminal - this one even more so. She walks out. Thin frame. Short blonde hair. She used to be a model in NYC and was reported to have dated Leonardo DiCaprio. What is she doing in here? “Why are you in here?” - they ask her. “They say I can control people minds. Change their brains.” - she responds. “Can you?” “What do you think? Can I? I hope so… when I get out you will see the power that I have and if it is real or not.” “Is that a threat” Did the prisoner just threaten the BBC reporters? This is the case of Kat Torres - the Brazilian Instagram “influencer” with over 1 million followers that has been charged with human trafficking and slavery charges.   Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com 

It’s not the most captivating livestream. Ash Trevino is on the phone with her boyfriend and we, the viewers, are forced to just listen to their seemingly mundane conversations. Out of nowhere, the 36 year old mom of two starts getting angry. She starts screaming - “He’s innocent. I don’t care what y’all say. He is innocent and y’all are going to see that. My comments are saying RIP to those who lost their lives...” Ash Trevino starts cackling. What is so funny? Is she laughing at the 2 teenage girls her new boyfriend killed? Or is she laughing at all the other victims her other boyfriends in prison have killed? Welcome to the world of Ash Trevino. Dubbed the “inmate hopper” and the “worst mom on TikTok.” The internet is collectively trying to get her accounts closed and are mass reporting her to Child Protective Services.   Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

16 year old Manohara is walking up towards the private plane. Her mother and sister are grabbing their bags from the black car behind her. She’s walking up the private jet steps… when she feels something. It’s a wave of panic? A sixth sense? Something in her body is telling her this is not where she should be right now. She turns around and starts heading back down the steps when she hears footsteps behind her. 5 burly men come up behind her and grab her by the arms, dragging her onto the plane. They slam her down onto her seat and refuse to let her leave. They refuse to let her family get on board. The instructions were allegedly very clear. Kidnap 16 year old Manohara and make sure she is returned to her rightful place in the palace. To her husband. The Prince of Malaysia.    Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com. 

“New Parent Decision Coin.” It’s a great gag gift for new parents. On one side it reads - “daddy’s turn” and on the other it reads “mommy’s turn.” When the baby starts getting fussy, you flip the coin, and whoever’s side it lands on gets to take care of the new baby. 13 year old Maddie sends the link to the coin with the text - “We need this - can you get this for us?” She sends the text message to her mom’s 37 year old boyfriend, Stephan Sterns.

The plot of a famous thriller goes viral. It goes something like this. A wife is called into the police station to talk about her husband. There are pictures of her husband with another girl. Graphic photos and now that girl is missing. Does the wife know what her husband did to the missing girl? Will the wife support her husband or leave him immediately? Jennifer Soto is at the police station and unfortunately for her - this is not a book plot. “Do you recognize your boyfriend’s penis?”“Yes. That’s him.” She is shown graphic photos of her boyfriend and the girl that has now gone missing but Jennifer isn’t convinced her boyfriend did anything wrong. She says - “I believe the sex stuff but I don’t think he did anything evil.”The investigators pause.

There’s been a crime in the workplace. Tim, the man in charge, is tasked with figuring out what exactly happened. He calls in the informants and sits them down at his desk. “What did you hear?” They lean forward - “I heard that they meet after hours in her car and they’re having a very inappropriate relationship. She might even be pregnant.” Tim takes notes. He interviews each of the people that could know exactly what happened… before concluding. These are all just workplace rumors. There is nothing more he should do about it. There’s just no way that Teacher Of The Year - Brittany Zamora is SAing her 13 year old student in a classroom full of kids. There’s no way. What would her poor husband say about this? A lot. He has a lot to say. All words of support for his wife.   Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com 

Dina and Tim know that the footage is going to be bad. They had already seen glimpses… but they weren’t prepared. The baby camera footage shows a 56 year old woman standing at the edge of the bed. She’s emotionless yet she's holding a newborn baby in her arms... She takes a moment before calmly - using all her force - to chuck the baby across the room onto the bed. Ever so calmly she walks over and stuffs blankets into the baby’s mouth and slams her down. This is the case of the worst nanny in San Francisco. And strangely, how a TikTok executive and Snapchat executive get involved in this viral case.    Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

“I thought trash day was just a few days ago?” Diane hears her neighbors bringing out their trash bins to the street. How is it already trash day? Diane is a young, single mom, and sometimes things slip her mind. She shrugs and grabs the trash bins. As she’s walking out of her backyard - a man and a young woman appear in front of her. They smash her on the head with a metal pipe. They grab a bottle and pour hot, burning, liquid acid all down her face and back. Diane knows exactly who did this to her. Her ex-bf. The YouTuber known for eating raw squirrels and pig heads on the streets of London. He just tried killing her. And he’s going to try again. All whilst making videos for YouTube. 

December 12th is the night that everyone has been waiting for. The invitation is cryptic - it takes some guests weeks to figure out what it reads. “Sdaeh tsilaer & sesserd gnol eit kcalb?” The secret is this - you have to reflect it into the mirror to figure out what it says. “Black tie, long dresses & surrealist heads.” Welcome to the Rothschild's (one of the wealthiest and most powerful families) newest secret party. Everyone walks in donning a giant bejeweled mask of animals that you would normally hunt. Stags. Deer. Birds in cages. The staff in the massive mansion are dressed as cats, perched on the stairs, meowing at the passing guests. There’s no way they’re not hunting people afterwards right? That’s always been the conspiracy. Rich people hunting the poor for sport. But what if it is true? What if it happened in South Korea and became the inspiration of the Netflix show - Squid Game?

It’s the biggest church in South Korea but nobody knows it exists. The church itself can fit at least 4,000 church goers all at once. But that’s not the intriguing part of the church… they just do things differently. There are a row of people standing in front of the pastor. They are asking him for forgiveness but they’re all wearing the same thing. A red sack with big ugly painted letters on there that read “I am a sinner who has gone against God’s word.” Pastor Lim prays over them - one by one. Before he turns around and pulls out a set of red boxing gloves. He slowly, calmly puts them on and starts beating the people down. He doesn’t stop till the entire row of red sack wearing people are bloody on the floor. Then he calmly fixes his clothes and heads back to the podium to continue preaching to the church goers. This is not a cult story. This is Brother’s Home.A government funded camp to cleanse the humans of South Korea ahead of the Olympics. The true story behind the Squid Game show. 

They’re all wearing the same blue tracksuit. Thousands of them standing out in the middle of the woods wearing the same thing. What is this place? They’re out in the middle of the woods - in what appears to be a small secretive city? A military base? How did they get 60+ buildings out here in the middle of the forest? And that giant wall… it’s 30 feet tall. Tall enough to keep people out. Or keep them in.  The guards are watching each of the track suit wearing people with precision. One wrong move and you get beat. That’s when they hear it…  The man starts running up onto the roof of one of the buildings - and there he goes. He flies off the top and lands in front of everyone. On his head.  Someone standing right there says - “honestly, I didn’t know the sound of someone’s head exploding could make such a loud splitting sound. I saw his skull explode open.” A guard member walks out and sweeps up his brains and bones as if nothing happened. Sounds familiar doesn’t it? It kind of sounds like the plot of one of the most famous series on Netflix, Squid Game. But it’s not.  This is the real life case of the Brother’s Home in South Korea. The true story behind Squid Game. Full source note: rottenmangopodcast.com

Sang’s mom is haunted. Everyone has their own explanations for it but it’s that simple.  Every time she sets the dinner table - she stares at the empty seat. Sometimes smiling, sometimes pouting, but always as if someone is sitting there.  Sang would ask -  “Mom, is everything alright?” “Just make sure to save some of the meat for Niuniu - you know that’s her favorite.” Sang’s mom would motion at the empty chair and smile.  The haunting started when Niuniu, Sang’s little sister, went missing. Nobody knew what happened to her other than the fact that she received a creepy doll with moving eyes shortly before she went missing.  26 years later Niuniu would come back to tell everyone the truth. She was kidnapped, trafficked, and sold. After 26 years she was coming back to kill her trafficker. Get her revenge.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

“To Catch A Predator” steps: Hire an adult decoy to lurk on websites advertising themselves as 13 year olds looking for a middle aged companion.  Invite the adult predator to a house that has been wired for audio and video recording.  Have the host of the famous TV show pop out to ask the predator questions and arrest them on the way out.  That is the premise to the show “To Catch A Predator” that has now been cancelled for its moral dilemmas.  But now influencers are recreating the show themselves on their platforms. Luring in predators, confronting them, and then calling the police.  That’s what 17 year old Gavon tells the cops was his plan… He met up with a middle aged man on Grindr for the purpose of robbing him because he deserves it. Why else would he talk to a minor? But for the police to believe his side of the story they have to go through his phone… and that’s where they find a folder titled - “Dark.”  The password? “Murder.”  Suddenly a simple robbery case turns into a murder investigation because in it… are videos and photos of 17 year old Gavon Ramsay killing and SAing a 98 year old woman in her own home. Gavon Ramsay is the predator.  Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you trust a random stranger to give you life-altering advice? A TikToker is standing on the sidewalk with a giant pasteboard - “ASK ME FOR FREE ADVICE.”  A middle aged man on a bike stops and asks “Do I go to Uzbekistan or stay here?” The whole exchange is bizarre. She asks him why would he move? He tells her for a woman. She asks him why doesn’t he just date an American woman? He tells her that he’s already married with kids… All of this is made more confusing by the fact that the entire time the man appears calm. He’s pleasant and keeps smiling…  That TikTok is filmed in June. In August, just 2 months later, a man goes missing in one of the deepest lakes in the state. He’s presumed dead.  But why does he look identical to the man in the TikTok video? Did this man actually drown?  Or did he fake his death, abandon his wife and kids, to be with a new woman?

“I woke up alone in a hospital. There is nobody here. I can’t find a single person. Humanity is extinct. The date is February 2027.” That is from a viral TikToker, Javier, who claims he is from the future to warn us about humanity. But there’s no way he’s actually from the future, right? Meanwhile, in Miami - an IG model is telling the police - “the aliens are coming. They’re coming. They’re coming. They’re coming. They’re coming. They’re coming.” The authorities are confused. She tells them - “I’m from the future. I’m a crystal ball. You can live off me.” The police ask her if she remembers what happened.  “Yes, I remember. I died.” Puzzling. Because she’s not dead. She is very much alive but just one block down there are two people that are dead and they’re not coming back.  Full Source Note: www.rottenmangopodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

When you walk into an Abercrombie & Fitch store - just know, that they’re watching you. They know that most likely you will take a right upon entering.

It’s the middle of the day in South Korea. Koreans are at work, grabbing lunch, picking up their kids from school, minding their own business.  Amongst them is an American man named Ramsey- who clearly does not look like he’s up to any good.  He’s live-streaming on his phone while glancing from side to side.  When he feels the coast is clear he takes out his portable speaker… and starts playing… Diddy’s song “Last Night.” He runs in front of the camera, takes off his shirt, and starts pouring baby oil down his torso.  He starts dancing on the female figure in front of him. Sexually rubbing his body on her frame.  This video will go viral in South Korea. And a new game will start - hunting Ramsey.  Objective of the game? Hunt Ramsey.  Find Ramsey.  Punch Ramsey. Because the female figure he tried smothering in baby oil is not any random statue. It is the statue representing the hundreds of thousands of young girls who were taken, enslaved, and SA’d dozens of times per day for years during the war.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

A mysterious new book starts making its way to the top of the Best Sellers category on Amazon books. It just doesn’t make sense though. The book isn’t authored by a well known author… on top of that, it’s quite a pricey book.  59 pages.  $22. Reviewers say it’s riddled with typos and factual inaccuracies. Why is it suddenly on the best sellers list? The title is: “Kim’s Lost Words: A Journey For Justice From The Other Side” It claims to be a memoir written by Kim Porter, Diddy’s ex gf, and the mother of his 4 children.  Part of the introduction reads: “He was so charming - a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A devil and I fell for it. This story must be told despite the fact that it will hurt my children. I cannot hide it any longer. Sean Combs must be stopped....” But there’s no way Kim Porter published it herself - because she passed away in 2018.  So who wrote it? The author claims he received a flash drive from close sources. But is he trustworthy?  But more importantly - why are netizens calling for Kim Porter’s death to be re-investigated?
