Diddy insists on obtaining a draft memoir that he believes will contradict abuse allegations against him before his criminal trial starts on May 5. The memoir, supposedly written by a woman expected to testify against him, is sought by Diddy to challenge her claims. However, the woman's legal team, supported by federal prosecutors, is trying to block the subpoena, arguing that the material should remain private. Diddy's defense asserts that the draft memoir contains information that contradicts the woman's current statements to the government, which could be crucial evidence in his favor. The woman has reportedly been interviewed by federal investigators multiple times and has turned over electronic devices, but Diddy's legal team believes she is withholding exculpatory information. This legal dispute over the memoir comes after Diddy settled a civil lawsuit with his former partner, Ventura, where she accused him of various offenses. The settlement followed the release of surveillance footage showing Diddy assaulting Ventura, which led to public outcry and a controversial apology video from Diddy. Diddy's criminal trial, which includes charges of sex trafficking and RICO violations, is set to begin on May 5.
