She told jurors that Diddy struck her in the face, causing her to wear large sunglasses “to cover up my eye” at the event. She appeared with Diddy and celebrities like Queen Latifah at the premiere and afterparty, and pictures presented in court showed obvious bruises on her shoulder and shin.
She begged him in advance via text: “I have a premiere for the biggest thing of my life on Monday.”
In March 2016, Cassie and Diddy exchanged text conversations in which they talked about organizing “freak offs,” which Cassie claimed were sex parties where she was forced to sleep with different men while under the influence of narcotics. Later that month, footage of Combs physically assaulting her came to light.
According to Cassie’s testimony, she put up with years of “freak offs” because she was afraid Combs would harm her or release private film. She declared, “I can’t bear the guilt and the shame.” According to Sky News, “I was instructed to treat people as though they were disposable.”
Since his arrest in September 2024, Combs has been charged with a number of offenses, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
According to The Independent, federal authorities claim he oversaw a violent operation that lasted 20 years, abusing, threatening, and pressuring people “to fulfill his sexual desires” between 2004 and 2024. He has refuted every accusation. According to his legal team, every interaction was voluntary.
