Diddy's Daughters Reveal How He's Changed Behind Bars

**Branson Quirk** (0:08)
Hey, welcome to The TMZ Podcast, I'm Branson Quirk.

**Courtney** (0:11)
Oh, I don't know why I thought that Quirk was gonna be Courtney.

**Branson Quirk** (0:14)
Oh, no.

**Courtney** (0:14)
I'm Courtney.

**Branson Quirk** (0:15)
No, it sounds similar.

**Courtney** (0:16)
Yes, Deven always intros me, so I'm never used to saying my own name.

**Branson Quirk** (0:20)
I know, I should have done it in the Deven fashion.

**Courtney** (0:22)
Yes.

**Branson Quirk** (0:22)
Hey guys, welcome to The TMZ Podcast, I'm Deven. I don't know, I forgot what he says.

**Courtney** (0:26)
Who knows?

**SPEAKER_3** (0:26)
Charlie Cotton used to say a whole thing.

**Branson Quirk** (0:28)
He used to do a whole intro.

**Courtney** (0:30)
He's a talker. He's a big talker.

**Branson Quirk** (0:33)
They loved him, though.

**Courtney** (0:34)
I know. Did you see his Vanity Fair, him and Jacob? Yes. I can't believe that those two are on Vanity Fair.

**Branson Quirk** (0:40)
If you guys missed it, our two guys from TMZ DC, Charlie, have a Vanity Fair article that was just published yesterday evening.

**Courtney** (0:46)
The fact that it's those two is wild.

**Branson Quirk** (0:49)
You'd never have expected that.

**Courtney** (0:51)
No.

**Branson Quirk** (0:51)
No, I'm not saying they can't do it, but it is-

**Courtney** (0:54)
We all know what you mean and we get it.

**Branson Quirk** (0:55)
We know that.

**Courtney** (0:57)
All right.

**Branson Quirk** (0:58)
Well, off the top, before we get into the stories, I was a little bit shocked this morning. Brenda Fricker, I want to make sure I say that correctly, she passed away.

**Courtney** (1:07)
I know.
From Home Alone 2? Yes. She was like shows a staple in everyone's childhood.

**Branson Quirk** (1:13)
She was an Academy Award winner too.

**Courtney** (1:15)
For what?

**Branson Quirk** (1:15)
Best supporting actress in, let's see, it was Doodoo Doo. She was-

**Courtney** (1:22)
I only know her from Home Alone 2

**Branson Quirk** (1:24)
My Left Foot.

**Courtney** (1:25)
Never saw it.

**Branson Quirk** (1:26)
1990

**Courtney** (1:27)
Oh, wow.

**Branson Quirk** (1:28)
Well before My Time.

**Courtney** (1:29)
Yeah. I never saw that movie. She was great. It's sad. There's been a lot of passing this week.

**Branson Quirk** (1:33)
I know Sam Neill, Brian Cricker. Who else?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:37)
Who else just passed away?

**Courtney** (1:38)
MJ, the Kardashians' grandma. That one was actually very sad.

**Branson Quirk** (1:41)
Yeah. We talked about it yesterday in the afternoon. Kim had posted a tribute to her.

**Courtney** (1:47)
She got a little bit of backlash though about that because she posted a carousel of her out with friends before over the holidays, but it was a schedule.

**Branson Quirk** (1:55)
She explained it. Yeah.

**Courtney** (1:56)
All these people have- It's a business account. She loved her grandma. No backlash needed.

**Branson Quirk** (2:01)
There is no doubt that Kim loved her grandma. Prayers to everyone's families who have lost anybody this week.

**Courtney** (2:07)
But what are the topics today?

**Branson Quirk** (2:08)
Diddy.

**Courtney** (2:09)
Great transition. Yes.

**Branson Quirk** (2:11)
He was very much alive and well.

**Courtney** (2:14)
Is he well?

**Branson Quirk** (2:16)
I think. We saw him walking around the prison for two hours straight. What prisoner is allowed to walk around for two hours outside with music in their ears? That sounds like a great time.

**Courtney** (2:24)
I guess you're still behind bars walking around a prison.

**Branson Quirk** (2:28)
But he's changing for the better allegedly. So Diddy's twin daughters, I love to hear your reaction on that. Diddy's twin daughters, Jesse and Delilah Combs are publicly defending their father, calling him a quote amazing dad despite his ongoing issues that we've heard about. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the twins said that Diddy is a quote amazing father. They speak with him often while he's incarcerated, and he is quote focused on becoming a better man for his family.
Their comments, yeah, they come while Diddy's behind bars. And Diddy had apparently apologized to them after the release of that 2016 surveillance video in which he was shown assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie. That was one of those things where it's like, if you're a son, daughter of whoever, and you watch a video of your father, mother doing this...

**Courtney** (3:17)
That'd be jarring and scary and be like, oh, who is that person?

**Branson Quirk** (3:20)
How do you even come back from that?

**Courtney** (3:22)
I mean, it sounds like he did it that they still love him, so that's good that he still has a relationship with his kids if they're standing by his side. I mean, it is their dad, so that is good that they're there, but a lot of people might not talk to their parents. I'm happy that they are there for him. I feel like it's important that he has people here at this time that he needs them. And you know what? It's their dad. They love him, and that he's an amazing father, that's amazing to hear. Because I have bad thoughts about Diddy, but it's nice to hear this part.
