Diddy trial drags Madonna, Judd Apatow, Chadwick Boseman into weekslong battle over rapper's sex-trafficking, racketeering charges
Madonna, director Judd Apatow and late actor Chadwick Boseman are just the latest celebrities to get name-dropped at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' bombshell Manhattan trial. The A-listers came up in rapid succession Monday during the testimony of Combs' ex-assistant Mia — who took the stand under a pseudonym and has accused the disgraced music mogul of sexual assault — as her test messages mentioning the stars were shown to jurors. After leaving Combs' Bad Boy Records in 2017, Mia told the jury that she worked for the 'Queen of Pop' for eight months, in a position where she was in charge of 'a myriad of things.' 'I was hired to lead her film industry. It morphed into multiple roles,' she told jurors in Manhattan federal court, upon questioning by Combs' attorneys. Mia, who began working for Combs in 2009 claimed the powerful record producer tried to blacklist her from the industry after she left his company — but Madonna 'didn't care.' Still, she testified that Combs sought retribution against her by pulling a television show she created and removing her credit from a documentary. Mia texted Combs many times in the years after she stopped working for him, according to her testimony. On March 8, 2019, she told him to watch the Netflix show 'Love,' directed by Apatow. Mia also sent Combs a text on May 14, 2020, about the death of record executive and media mogul Andre Harrell — the man credited with discovering the 'I'll Be Missing You' singer. 'Puff my heart is broken about Dre. I've spent all week crying for you as well,' Mia texted him. Diddy trial live updates: Shocking new details about hotel beating video revealed; security guard says mogul bribed him to bury footage Sean 'Diddy' Combs bribed hotel security guard $100K to hand over Cassie beating video, then called him on Easter: 'God put you in my life for a reason' Sean 'Diddy' Combs fan unleashes profane rant at trial, mogul watches her get dragged from courtroom before day even starts Diddy trial drags Madonna, Judd Apatow, Chadwick Boseman into weekslong battle over rapper's sex-trafficking, racketeering charges Later, she also texted about the sudden August 2020 death of 43-year-old 'Black Panther' star Boseman, who had been battling colon cancer away from the public eye. Combs replied: 'How are you? Yeah, life is crazy,' the court heard. Mia, a former live-in assistant, to Combs has accused him of years of abuse — including rape — over several days on the stand at his racketeering and sex-trafficking trial. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he could face life in prison. The bombshell trial is set to continue on Tuesday with testimony from a security guard who worked at a Los Angeles hotel where Combs was caught on video beating his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

‘Modern Love' Podcast: First Love Mixtape: Side B (Encore)
Hosted by Anna Martin Produced by Reva GoldbergEmily LangDavis LandChristina DjossaAmy PearlSara CurtisHans Buetow and Julia Botero Edited by Jen PoyantLynn Levy and Sara Sarasohn Original music by Dan PowellHans BuetowMarion Lozano and Sonia Herrero Engineered by Elisheba Ittoop and Sonia Herrero 'When I was 14, I wrote the lyrics to 'Ghost' by the Indigo Girls on my Converse high-tops. The song is this whole tortured look back at a love that starts in adolescence, and I wanted so much to be destroyed like that.' In last week's episode, the Modern Love team shared the songs that taught us about love when we were young. But in this week's episode, we hear from you, our listeners, about the songs that helped shape your ideas about love. We heard from present-day teens streaming their anthems on repeat, and we heard from listeners who have been with their partners for over 50 years. There were stories of jazz and rap; adrenaline rushes and loneliness; and many hard-won lessons in matters of the heart. ('Don't let your friends choose your boyfriends,' Amy from St. Louis said.) We share a compilation of some of your songs and stories in the first half of our episode. And we finish our episode with an essay about the end of love. After more than 50 years of marriage, Tina Welling decided that she wanted a divorce — a decision that turned out to be liberating. Thank you to all of the listeners who sent us their teenage anthems. We've compiled them into one glorious Spotify playlist.

Willem Dafoe Shines His Spotlight on Theater's Avant-Garde Past
What happens when an avant-garde becomes history? The question came to mind during the opening weekend of the Venice Theater Biennale, newly under the direction of Willem Dafoe. As a co-founder in 1980 of the New York City-based Wooster Group, Dafoe had a front-row view of the experimental theater of his time. In Venice, he is turning the spotlight back onto it — at the risk of the event turning nostalgic. This year's edition is a 50th anniversary celebration for an important edition of the Theater Biennale, an annual event put together by the same organization as the (much bigger) Art Biennale. In 1975, the Italian director Luca Ronconi convened a long list of revolutionary American and European ensembles for the theater event, including La MaMa, Odin Teatret, the Living Theater and the Théâtre du Soleil. Only one of them, Odin Teatret, is actually back this year, but others are being honored through talks and exhibitions. And the Wooster Group, which has its roots in that era, opened the festival on Saturday. The next morning, that company's longtime director, Elizabeth LeCompte, received the event's Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement award. While the Biennale's lineup also includes younger stars and emerging artists, this year's historical dive is unusual. Theater festivals tend to be singularly focused on the present, always looking for new and emerging voices. Yet there is value in revisiting the work of artists who had a significant impact on 20th-century stages. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
