Scalable vie for sure nice. It's time, Nice Lou, welcome to the Naughty but Nice Show. I'm your hostel shooter. It's firstly one of my favorite days because idea friend Mark Lupa joins us. Hey, Loopy, Hi.
There, you've been loose here and I love too wrong.
It's a good way to start the day. It puts me in a good mood to giggle for twenty minutes or so fifteen twenty minutes a celebrities. What's going on in the world. It puts me in such a good mood. And seeing you just as well, Mark, and I noticed he You've got a very fresh haircut today, very dapper.
I feel fresh. I took a shower of a week.
It looks good.
Thank you, It looks good.
It looks good. It's good. Okay, let's jump into the show. What time is it, my friends? It is tea time. Big story at the top of the show. So Did his legal team wants those freak off videos to be evidence to prove of that he is innocent. You heard that right, Let me explain So Did. He and his legal team are doubling down on his defense that these free cuffs, which are at a center of the case against him, is actually going to exonerate him. So in our motion that they filed in New York Federal Court, I have it here in front of me. Did his at tourneys claim that the nine videos? Now we know that we did not know that, Mark. We knew there were videos, we didn't know how many. There are nine videos in question. They involve his ex girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. Now he claims that these videos demonstrate private sexual activity between two consenting adults in a long term relationship. They're arguing, Mark, if you review the videos, it's abundantly clear as what they say that mister Combs is innocent. They argue that the footage provided by Cassie, that's interesting too. Mark. For the first time ever, we found out we now know who gave them the sex tapes, the freak off tapes. It was Cassie, is what Diddy is claiming in this new motion. And they say that she is not only consenting to sex in the videos, you can see that she is enjoying herself. There are no secret cameras, they claim, no orgies, no underground tunnels, no miners, just a consenting couple having kinky sex which they claim might be a little naughty, might make you blush a bit, but is totally totally legal. What an interesting strategy.
It is, and I don't think it's one that you know, is unique. I think we've seen this before where I think these lawyers try to negate the bigger picture here, which is that she's made claims of rape, manipulation, corrosion, and for them to point out that she's enjoying herself, that's speculation because she might have been feeling pressure to perform. You might have been you know, the dynamic that exists between them and an abusive relationship. It's very very complex, and so that for us to determine that we wouldn't be able to know from watching a video.
Yeah, I think that if they show these tapes, it's going to be almost impossible to say if it's forced or if it's consensual. Is she drugged? She's claiming, We've got to listen to her. She's claiming that she was raped, that this is not what she wanted. She didn't even know if she was being filmed. Now, the more evidence, obviously, the clearer the case becomes. So having more evidence I think is probably a good thing. But a couple of things here. We find out in this motion that the tapes, all these tapes we've been talking about for weeks, there's nine of them, not one hundreds of them, not one of them, nine of them, and all nine involved Cassie, not other people. So all those claims about did he videoing himself with miners with other people, none of those tapes we have found so far. Maybe they do not exist. That's what his team is claiming. What I thought was fascinating too, is that now we know the cops FBI got their hands on these tapes, not in the rate, not when they raided did his home, but Cassie handed them the tapes. So Cassie had kept these tapes. I'm not saying that makes a innocent or guilty. I'm not. I'm saying it's just another detail that makes the case so much more complex. I predicted from word go I used to work with did he twenty twenty years ago, twenty five years ago, Mark, and I predicted he would not go down without a fight. He's definitely a fighting type of guy, and now he's going to really punch back hard. And I'm not at all surprised that This is the defense that he is pursuing. If you remember, Harvey Weinstein did something very similar. There were no tapes with Harvey, but Harvey claims all the people he abused it was consensual sex, that all these people wanted to be movie stars, they all wanted to sleep with Harvey to help their careers. Well, ultimately that it did not work out for Harvey. Harvey's in jail. Could it work for Diddy?
You know, It's so hard to say because I think they're in a moment they're trying to distract us from the bigger picture. Again, there's been so many other people who have also chimed in and had similar experiences, And we don't know what evidence exists outside of the nine tapes that Cassie has presented, and I would imagine there's a lot of things that they haven't presented yet from that that they found in his home, and you know, things that would point to you know, the possibility of assault or a rape and other things like that. So, you know, I take this with with a pause, knowing that we don't know the full picture here and that you know, there's a lot more to come here.
I like that we should take this with a pause. I'm going to steal that expression market. It's a really good expression. Take it with a pause. There's a lots more evidence to come forward. There's lots more witnesses, people to speak out to give their first hand account of what it's like to be alone with Diddy, and so that's going to be devastating. I spoke to a law enforcement source of mine who I've worked with for about ten years now, and they're really, really good at this. They said that the cops know the difference between a kinky sex tape between a husband and wife or a couple and something that is not. They know when someone's drugged, they know when it crosses a line. Some people are very much into bondage and they have their own, their own specific kinks. And I'm not judging that market. It's not for me, but I'm not judging that. But I'm told that law enforcement experts, not cops that do different things, but they have a special unit that just investigates sex crimes, and they can tell by the video. They can tell, and so there must have been enough evidence here for them to be at least suspicious, at least uncomfortable or as my sources say they saw it very well, and if did he think this is going to help, He's wrong. I know somebody who has seen not the whole tape and not all of them, but a partial, partial moment from one of these tapes, and they said it is clear that this is something that is really, really off and the power dynamic is something that can't be ignored. So did he? I guess it's the only card you can play at this point. It's the only Hail Mary pass you can throw. But it's going to be a really controversial one, which brings us to our whole question of the day. Did his legal team are saying the freak off videos prove his innocence amid the explosive allegations? Our question is quite simple. Will they release the tapes? Will we ever get to see these tapes? I'm not sure I even want to. Hey, go vote on our Twitter Naughty Nice rob Our facebook page is Naughty Gone Zip and be sure to check back tomorrow to hear your results. Hey, Loopy Lou, what are you working on?
Yes, so we're taking a left turn here, but some more drama for Ben Affleck, which we love. This time it's involving the FBI cops and heated words.
Oh Ben, all.
Right, let me explain what's going on here. So Ben Affleck was caught and the heated roadside showdown with police, just days after an unexpected visit from the FBI. It was luxurious Brentwood home. The fifteen year old star was snapped leaving out of his BMW gesturing at two police officers. Park nearby. Paparazzi caught every fiery moment as Affleck pointed towards the exit. His frustration was clearly visible.
You can see it, you can really see it.
And now sources are telling page six that neighbors had brought in private security, disrupting the residents' access to their own homes and afflic was clearly unimpressed and voiced his concerns to the officers, eventually securing permission to return to his property.
He's so angry, Mark, He's just a ball of mat show elf and male agriness. If you want to see, if you want a visual, if you look up in a dictionary toxic masculinity, it's a picture of Ben Affleck. It's just he's this guy, Mark. He's got millions of dollars. He's handsome, he's successful, he lives in a twenty million dollar has he flies on private planes, and he's so angry. Mark. I don't know if there is a solution to Ben's anger. I've met him a few times when I worked with j Lo, and I've got to emit. He has demons. You can tell it just by talking with him. He thinks he is wildly intelligent, which I think he is. But he believes he's the smartest person in the room, which he might be too. But just don't think that. There's no there's no humility with Ben Affleck. He thinks he is just fabulous, and I've got to say he is, like so, I sort of get it. But when you walk around thinking that you are so superior, all you end up doing is having a miserable life. He's just a miserable, miserable devil. I don't know what it is. Mark. I'd love him to find happiness. I'd love him to go to therapy. I'd love him to sit down and figure out what's the problem. I know, sometimes when we have friends or people and we just want to shake them, don't We're like, what's the problem. We have a great life, but they've got to find it themselves. There's nothing you me j Lo Jennifer Gana anybody can do here. Ben's got to find happiness.
It does because every picture I see of him, he's always has this horrible expression. He's smoking a cigarette, he looks annoyed, he's selling a door like. I don't get it either, but his face and something about his expression just shows that he just is suffering. Something is just suffering, really making him unhappy, and it makes me sad to see it, because he really does have one too.
I do too. We know people like that, don't we in our lives who are just suffering so much. I have so much pain that we have a real empathy for them until they annoy us so much. Like I have this dilemma book. I have one friend who is so annoyant, clearly in pain. She's clearly in pain. I try so hard to be there for her, and every time I try to help, she bites me, like she's just a rather unpleasant person. But I know why she's unpleasant. But at some point, you've got to take personal responsibility. Jennifer Lopez. Run Run, run your dodged a bullets. Okay, moving along, Hugh Jackman's wife. We spotted her out at the Australian Open, that's the tennis down Under, with her daughter Ava, who we very rarely see. People forget that Hugh Jackman and deb have two children together. So this comes amid the new photographs of Hugh kissing his girlfriend Sutton fus Star. So Debb is keeping things classy on and off the court. The sixty nine year old actress and producer was startled at the twenty twenty five Australian Open with her daughter Ava, just days after her husband went public with his new girlfriend, Sutton Foster. My sources suspect that those pictures with Sutton were staged, like they both they both look a little too perfect. They both like they didn't have to kiss outside the car. They're standing there and they made you and the photographers got their shot, like after they've been together, probably about six months a month. We've never seen them for six months now that it's out now. Certainly photographs in an out burger, when did you chap with those absolute needs? Not eating in that burg? And so I think deb is probably devastated. She saw on the pictures, Well, Deb thought, where will I go? Where there's a lot of cameras the open, the tennis match and who will I bring my daughter Ava? So I'm told the kids are very much on Deb's part. They were married for twenty seven years. Deb's back home in Australia with the kids. The kids are not with you. Oh it's messy, isn't it. You forget because I think we we love celebrity drama, particularly on this show and other TV shows. We love it, but you forget there's a family involved. This isn't just dead Hugh Jackman and Sutton. There's two kids involved, and I think Sutton has a baby too, and then there's ex partners and ah, little messy, Mark messy.
It's so sloppy. And I will also point out that they're not officially divorced. So this is going to make everything way more complicated in the way of he has a two hundred plus million dollar fortune that will have to be spoiled up, and so I don't think him flaunting Sutton faster around town is going to help his situation when it comes down to is she going to be okay with splitting the fortune in a certain way? And so I don't know, I don't see this being a happy, friendly divorce. I really don't.
Yeah, this is gonna get ugly. She's gonna have to pay. Okay, quickly before we get a break. Taylor Swift is expanding her seventeen seven million dollar Rude Island mansion. So she has this massive mansion. It's eleven thousand square feet not big enough for miss Taylor Swift. So she's adding a wing, adding one point seven million in an extension. I say good for her, Mark. I read today that she has a portfolio of property, about one hundred million dollars in just property that she owns. She's passionate about it. She's got the money you want to put in a new bathroom. Although one point seven million, I guess it's more than new tiles in the kitchens. It sounds like, I mean, this is not just new carpets or curtains. Mark good Foot, Taylor Swift. Ooh, should we start a roomor maybe she's even adding a nurser yom wow wow. Okay, We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. Welcome back to the Naughty but Nice Sham, your host of Shuder with our dear friend Mark Lupo. Hey, LUPI. Let's get to the poles. Last year we talked about Kate Middleton revealing that she is thankfully in remission after her cancer battle. Should Kate make her diagnosis public? We still don't know what sort of cancer Kate has. She's not saying a word. We have suspicions, but nobody out there has been able to confirm it. Should she make it public? Let's have a look. Seventy percent said no, it's her story. Mark. If she doesn't want to do it, don't do it. I think I agree with you, and I'm a very nosy person. Hey, don't forget to vote under day's pole. Go to our tweeter page I'd Naughty Nice rob or a Facebook page which is Nordy Gossip and be sure to check back to Marau to hear your results. And now it's time for a Nicest of the day.
Now, wow, it's Prince William, our nicest of the day. So Prince William is making power moves as he's prepares for the throne. With the site said I'm giving two lesser than royals a shot at the spotlight. Oh, the forty two year old Prince of Wales is step being up to ease the burden others cancer stricken father, King Trials by taking charge of the royal families long term future, and among his plans, he's persuading possibly Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie of Edinburgh's children, Leady Louise and James Earl of Wessex, to reconsider being working royals.
Yeah, that's interesting. Louise and James they were offered royal titles, or their parents were when they were born. They weren't offered anything because they couldn't walk or speak, but the parents were given the option, do you want your kids to be r H, which means He's or her Royal Highness. They declined them at birth because the parents wanted them to have a more normal upbringing. So normally Princess Anne did this too. Her kids are not hr H. They're not they're not. They don't have those royal titles. However, the family has suddenly got a lot smaller. Harry and Meghan and Kate and William were meant to carry the banner of the royal family. They're down fifty percent. Harut Meghan's out, so they need some more help. There's lots of events that royals are expected to turn up to hospital life opening's charity events, so they need more royals. So William's looking around and these two are lovely individuals. She's at university at the moment. He's about eighteen, he's about to go to university. And he's reached out to them saying, do you want to become members of the working team here? There's a job opening. I guess you put it like that and you match the criteria. Would you like to be part of this? And I'm told they're really really thinking about it. They're a lovely couple, young, beautiful, smart, so I think it's a good idea. William's really really thinking this through. Okay, let's do and not. Is the day naughty, naughty, and notice the day of those naughty devils inside the palace who came up with a brutal nickname for Prince Andrew and Prince Harry. They call them they're both dukes. They call them the Dukes of Hazzard because they are both a nightmare. So within the palace, these two, Andrew and Harry are known for their chaotic personalities and thus they are known as the Dukes of Hazzard. I do think it's unfair to put Andrew and Harry in the same category. Where Andrew did disgrace. Andrew with Jeffrey Epstein's scandal is very different from Harry writing a tell old book and leaving the family. However, I think too, Mark, and you know this. I hate nicknames. I don't like it. I don't like us when we call people nicknames. I don't think it's funny. I don't think it's cute. I don't do it. I try so hard not to do it. Don't do it. Nothing good comes from mocking other people. It's a put down. That's what it is. It's a put down. You might have a nickname that people use about you and you just don't like it. And so if you don't give yourself the nickname loopy Lou, if you don't give yourself a nickname, don't let other people do it for you. And notice the day. Let's let's hold off with the nicknames. Let's end with a moment of rab. You gonna rub. I'm not here to be perfect. I'm not here to be anything but my best. We waste a lot of time trying to be perfect. Let's be honest, We're never gonna be perfect. I've worked with some of the biggest stars in the world. I've got a secret. They're not perfect too. What you see on Instagram on the cover of magazines is not exactly how they look. They look like that, just not quite as perfect. So enjoy your floors, be who you are, look your best, be your best, But don't try to be perfect, because it's a goal that you are chasing that you will never accomplish, So why chase it. Don't worry about being perfect. You are perfect. Hey, that is it for today. Thank you so much for listening to the Naughty but Nice with Rob and Mark show, a production of iHeart Radio.
