In this episode of Zone 7, Crime Scene Investigator, Sheryl McCollum, is joined by pop culture journalist Lauren Conlin, who has been reporting live from the courtroom in the federal investigation into Sean “Diddy” Combs. Lauren brings the latest from the court room as of May 30th, 2025. Sheryl and Lauren unpack incredible testimonies from Cassie Ventura, Kid Cudi, and other key witnesses, painting a disturbing picture of alleged abuse, control, and intimidation. They cover how star power and fear create a fortress of silence around high-profile abusers, and how that wall is slowly being dismantled in court. She walks listeners through the RICO foundation the prosecution is building, the alleged car bombing of Kid Cudi, the grooming and abuse of Cassie, and what’s to come the week of June 1st-5th.
Lauren Conlin is a New York City-based reporter, podcaster, and host specializing in pop culture and true crime. She is a writer-reporter for Pop Style TV, Nicki Swift Celebrity, and Grunge.com, and the host of two popular podcasts: Lauren Interviews, featuring celebrity and reality TV personalities, and Corruption: What Happened to Grant Solomon, an investigative deep dive into a suspicious teen death. Lauren’s true crime reporting has gained national attention, including viral interviews tied to the Madeleine McCann case, exclusive coverage of Brittany Murphy’s death, and appearances on VICE TV, Fox News, and Law & Crime. Her work has been featured by outlets like People, EW, Page Six, Elle, and The Today Show.
Listeners can connect with Lauren on Prime Time Crime Live Wednesdays at 8pm EST, on X @lauren_conlin and on IG @laurenemilyconlin
