Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield

Day 5 of Diddy’s trial just blew the roof off. Jurors heard a 2014 audio recording of Cassie Ventura screaming at a man who claimed he saw one of her sex tapes. “I will f--king kill you. I will cut you up and put you in the f--king dirt.” In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the final day in week 1 of Diddy's Federal Trial. He was the king of Bad Boy Records: a billionaire mogul, a Grammy winner, and the face of luxury in hip-hop. Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a slew of federal charges in New York, accused of running a criminal enterprise for over two decades. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Day 16 of the Karen Read trial zeroed in on the one question that could make or break this case: How did John O’Keefe die? The medical expert, Dr. Irini Scordi-Bello, took the stand and walked the jury through the autopsy — from the bruises on his arms… to the injuries on his face… to the gash across his scalp. The only problem? Determining John O'Keefe's manner of death.

It's Day 4 of Diddy's Trial.... and Cassie Ventura’s cross-examination in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex trafficking trial took a sharp turn. The defense came out swinging, armed with a stack of Cassie’s old text messages, emails, and surveillance footage. And one by one, they used her own words against her. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the pivotal moments in the courtroom… how Cassie held up under pressure… and whether Diddy’s legal team managed to plant seeds of doubt in the minds of the jury.

Who leaked sealed information to Dateline NBC? And how did it end up in a nationally televised special? In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by NewsNation’s senior national correspondent Brian Entin, who’s been covering every angle of the Bryan Kohberger case from the very beginning.Guest: Brian EntinX:https://x.com/BrianEntin Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/brianentin/Follow Ashleigh on Social MediaInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/ashleighbanfieldhttps://www.instagram.com/DropDeadSeriousPodcastTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@tvashleighhttps://www.tiktok.com/@DropDeadSeriousPodcastFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/AshleighBanfieldWebsite:https://www.dropdeadserious.com/

A forensic scientist took the stand to explain how glass, a hair, and bloody snow in a red Solo cup pointed to Karen Read’s guilt. But the second the defense got up? Things got messy. Fast. In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield walks you through Day 15 of Karen Read's trial.

Cassie Ventura took the stand for a third day, and what she told the jury left the entire courtroom reeling. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield walks you through every brutal detail of Cassie’s testimony, from surveillance video at the InterContinental Hotel… to the “freak-off” footage shown only to the jury. Cassie even testified that when Diddy found out she was dating rapper Kid Cudi, he said Kid Cudi’s car would be blown up. And that's EXACTLY what happened... Kid Cudi confirmed it to The New York Times.

She’s one of the few family members who has stood by Erik and Lyle Menendez from the very beginning, and she’s never backed down. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield sits down with Anamaria Baralt, the Menendez brothers’ cousin, for an unflinching look at the abuse allegations, the trial that shocked America, and what comes next as the brothers fight for resentencing. Anamaria has spoken out before, but not like this. She opens up about the pressure, the backlash, and the toll it’s taken on her family. And with new legal momentum on the horizon, she’s more determined than ever to make sure the truth is heard.

After 35 years behind bars, the Menendez brothers just got resentenced, and now, parole is officially on the table. In an emotional courtroom moment, Lyle and Erik Menendez admitted everything: the murders, the lies, the mockery of the justice system. In this episode, Ashleigh breaks it all down: the resentencing, the emotional witness stand moments, and what comes next for the infamous brothers who say they’ve changed.

It was day 2 in Diddy's federal trial, and Cassie Ventura took the stand... and what she described was unlike anything we’ve heard in court before. Inflatable baby oil pools. Hotel rooms drenched in wax, oil, and shame. Cassie says this was Sean “Diddy” Combs’ fantasy. In this episode, Ashleigh breaks down the graphic testimony — and what prosecutors say it proves.

Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik returned for a third straight day of testimony in the Karen Read murder trial. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the most revealing moments from Day 14: a new surveillance video that appears to show former Trooper Michael Proctor walking directly toward Karen Read’s damaged taillight before evidence was recovered at the scene, and group texts where Proctor bragged, “No nudes so far,” while rifling through Read’s phone.

Day One of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex trafficking trial opened with disturbing allegations and graphic, gut-wrenching testimony. From the $100,000 bribe in a brown bag… to baby oil, blackmail, and a witness who says he was too scared to go to police, Ashleigh Banfield walks you through the explosive opening statements, the brutal surveillance video, and the male escort who says Diddy watched from the corner, dragged Cassie by the hair, and later asked, “Are y’all ready to continue now?”Follow Ashleigh on Social MediaInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/ashleighbanfieldhttps://www.instagram.com/DropDeadSeriousPodcastTikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@tvashleighhttps://www.tiktok.com/@DropDeadSeriousPodcastFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/AshleighBanfieldWebsite:https://www.dropdeadserious.com/

Day 3 of jury selection in Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial was anything but ordinary. From a potential juror admitting to binge-watching Star Wars instead of completing his questionnaire, to another expressing bias after viewing the infamous Cassie video, the courtroom saw its share of drama. Adding to the spectacle, attorney Mark Geragos faced a stern reprimand from Judge Arun Subramanian for referring to the prosecution team as a "six-pack of white women" on a podcast. As the pool of qualified jurors narrows, the question remains: can a fair and impartial jury be seated amidst the chaos?
