On the latest episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, the team delved into the ongoing federal trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs, where his defense attorneys are attempting to portray Cassie Ventura as a willing participant in the alleged "freak-off" sessions. Cassie, however, provided harrowing testimony, describing these encounters as coercive and abusive, stating they made her feel "worthless" and likening her experience to being a "sex worker."  

In entertainment news, R&B singer Chris Brown was arrested in the UK on May 15, 2025, in connection with a 2023 nightclub assault.
