For decades, Sean 'Diddy' Combs seemed untouchable—a figure who rose from the streets to become a titan of the music, fashion, and entertainment industries. His Bad Boy Entertainment label defined a generation of hip-hop, and his entrepreneurial spirit made him a household name. But beneath the surface of this glittering success lay darker currents—currents that have now surged into the spotlight as the empire he built threatens to crumble beneath the weight of scandal and serious criminal allegations. This podcast dives deep into the allegations that have sent shockwaves through the entertainment world. At the center of it all are the accusers—those who have come forward with shocking claims of misconduct, manipulation, and abuse. These aren’t just sensational headlines—they are stories that expose a side of Sean Combs the public never saw. The Diddy Diaries explores how these accusations began to surface, what drove his accusers to finally speak out, and how the legal system has responded. But this isn’t just about Diddy’s public image taking a hi…","last_synced_at":"2026-08-01T20:22:03.254845+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-diddy-diaries-6672935"},"episode":{"title":"Lesley Groff And The Transcript From Her Epstein Related Trip to Congress (Part 12) (7/18/26)","slug":"lesley-groff-and-the-transcript-from-her-epstein-related-trip-to-congress-part-12-7-18-26","published_at":"2026-07-18T16:20:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-diddy-diaries-6672935/lesley-groff-and-the-transcript-from-her-epstein-related-trip-to-congress-part-12-7-18-26","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-diddy-diaries-6672935","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/lesley-groff-and-the-transcript-from-her-epstein-related-trip-to-congress-part-12-7-18-26--73045149","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/73045149/grofftranscript12.mp3","summary":"Lesley Groff told the House Oversight Committee that she worked for Jeffrey Epstein from February 2001 until July 2019 as his secretary/administrative assistant, handling scheduling, calls, travel coordination, calendars, and staff logistics. Her central position was that Epstein kept her separated from his criminal life, that she never witnessed abuse, never had a victim disclose abuse to her, and did not knowingly help Epstein or Maxwell commit crimes. She described Epstein as a “master manipulator” who lied to her and kept his “legitimate” world apart from his abuse, while acknowledging that she scheduled massage appointments when Epstein provided names and numbers, sometimes circulated calendars that included those appointments early on, and understood the massages as routine at the time. She said she did not personally meet the massage providers, did not know they were minors or young women, and assumed they were masseuses, even though members pressed her on why an extremely wealthy man would use rotating names and phone numbers instead of a professional massage service. The questioning also focused heavily on Epstein’s network and whether Groff had knowledge of powerful men being provided access to girls or young women through Epstein or Maxwell. Groff repeatedly answered no when asked whether she had arranged massages for prominent figures, knew of sexual activity involving minors or young women, or knew of anyone who knowingly facilitated Epstein’s crimes.
