On her fourth day of testimony last Friday, Cassie faced intense cross-examination by Diddy’s legal team.

During her time on the stand, Cassie shared that she had once engaged in an affair with an NFL player. She emphasized that, despite the tumultuous nature of her relationship with Diddy, she held no bitter feelings towards him. Instead, she reflected on their shared memories with a sense of nostalgia.
Furthermore, the defense for Diddy suggested the possibility of him dealing with bipolar disorder. They presented text conversations showcasing a more amicable relationship between Cassie and Diddy, including texts sent during her current marriage to Alex Fine.
Cassie also revealed her ongoing need for therapy, citing PTSD and distressing memories that lingered. Following her cross-examination, she opened up about being threatened by Diddy, who allegedly claimed he would leak a sex tape if she did not adhere to his demands.
In a striking declaration, Cassie mentioned her expectations of a $10 million settlement from the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, attributed to an alleged assault captured on video by Diddy.
