Cassie has taken the stand in Diddy’s sex trafficking and racketeering trial.
According to reports, Cassie, who is eight months pregnant, talked about the alleged abuse she suffered at the hands of the Bad Boy Records founder. Live updates were recorded by Inner City Press via X/Twitter. The account first recorded that the singer was asked to confirm her age and occupation for the court and the amount of time she was in a relationship with Diddy, which was 10 years.
While on the stand, she recalled having arguments with Diddy and how it would lead to abuse involving her being hit and dragged. As she continued with her testimony, the surveillance footage of Diddy physically assaulting Cassie was shown in court, although Diddy’s legal team tried to have the video barred from court weeks prior to the trial.
She also said that Diddy would become angry if she told him “no” to his demands. “I didn’t know what ‘no’ could turn into,” she said. Cassie then detailed the moments she would take ecstasy with Diddy and revealed how he would experience mood swings. “The next thing I knew, I was getting hit in the face,” she recalled. “There was also psychological abuse.”
Cassie testified that in the beginning of their relationship, they would have a good time but also said that Diddy’s lifestyle was “facilitated by a roster of assistants who operated at his beck and call and could do anything he asked.”
She said that their relationship was non-monogamous with each of them dating other people on the side. Earlier this week, prosecutors argued that Diddy paid a male escort, Daniel Phillip, to urinate in Cassie’s mouth. Phillip also took the stand and spoke about the graphic events that took place during Diddy’s “freak-offs.”
Diddy has denied all allegations against him in the case. His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, has also denied all allegations against his client and previously said that Diddy is looking forward to his day in court when it will become clear that he has never forced anyone to engage in sexual acts against their will,” Agnifilo said in March. “Many former employees stand by his side, prepared to attest to the dedication, hard work, and inspiration they experienced while helping build groundbreaking, award-winning businesses.”
