became blurred quickly, and she frequently visited Ditty at a
hotel in New York and explained that she wanted to
be around Diddy because he was powerful, magnetic, and very
much in control of her career. Cassie recalled her first

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, every I mean the prosecution and
the defense.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Yeah, talk to her, yeah, because they're trying to paint
a picture that you know, it was consensual because she
stayed in the relationship for so long, but the psychological abuse,
the physical little, the drug.

her shoes on at the door. Yeah, this dude putting
a towel around his neck, run and chase. We saw
him stomp this.

what else.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
The defense team said that Cassie made a choice every
day for ten years to stay and fight for Diddy,
and when she finally made the choice to leave, she
ran into the arms of another man, Alex Fine, who
was her husband. So you know, as so, yeah, it
really is we got to run to someone, Yeah, get
(02:52):
to get out of there. She just wanted to leave.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
She said.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
He knew her whereabouts every single minute of the day,
so there was no know where really for her to
run at that time. You know, he would always go
back and get her.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Yeah, yeah, that's exactly right. And the more you hear
this type of stuff, the more you understand about the
mental abuse of abusive relationships, that you can mentally be
controlled mentally. It's not just physical, because you know, there's
reports that he threatened if you do this, I'm gonna
(03:25):
hurt your family, you know, And you get the feeling
like you this man has the power to control every
aspect of my life. He can hurt my family. Let
me just go along with just because I don't want
nothing to have no mamas. You know, now, all these
people with these other comments, y'all make me sick because
seeing if it were you or your child, your daughter,
(03:49):
your sister, you know where where where's your heart for
the victim? Here? See, I don't like people who don't.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I don't see how.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I know you don't see how because it ain't happened
to you. That seemed to me like she could have.
I got what you say, and it seemed like she
could have. But hear what happened though, Yeah, excuse me,
roll tape.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
See you talk. I'm telling you right, I'm on trial.
It ain't him trials.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, that's what so many men have said. Tell me,
so many men have said that, you know, and you
could televise it with their daughter, with their daughter you.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Want to do.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
It ain't nothing you can say to me. This is
not a probably a good example. But you know the
story that you've been watching about that black dude who
police officers killed his son, shotting and then he went
out the next day and killed a police officer, and
he went to court the next day and looked at
(04:55):
all the policemen. Yeah it was a different police officer,
which I didn't. That wasn't the way. I don't but
but but but now here's and that was horrible for
this innocent man. That was horrible. But what he was
saying was, oh, y'all gonna do this to me. I'm
(05:16):
gonna do this to y'all. Now that's not, like I said,
the best example. But for men who are watching this
who have daughters, no brother, Noah, brother Puffy, listen to me.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Man and his own daughters are in court too.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
You know they leave during certain parts of the testimony,
but they are as well.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I heard his mama took him out. They were talking
about your nation and all that. But I don't think
the daughters need to just go and stay to the
house because you finish discover some stuff that's really that
you don't. First of all, you don't need to be
exposed to now. And I know you can't keep from
your kids no more because of the Internet.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
And they got to go to school. Yeah that's the thing.
That's the thing.
Speaker 4 (06:00):

to prom and things like that, so towards the end
of high school.
Speaker 2 (06:08):

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Seventeen or eighteen years old around that age, the darts,
the twins.

just horrible. It really is. I mean it's horrific. What
