Speaker 1 (00:02):
I'm the homegrowl that knows a little bit about everything
and everybody. You know, if you don't lie about that, right,
Lauren came, Hey, guys, it's Laura La Rosa. This is
the latest with Laura La Rosa, and y'all already know
this is your daily dig on everything pop culture and
the conversations that shake the room. I'm the homegirl that
knows a bit about everything and everybody. And today I'm
(00:23):
taking y'all back the court because you girl love taking
y'all a court. Lot it take y'all a court now.
Today we are talking Cassie and Diddy because this was
Cassie's first day on the stand as one of the
key witnesses in Diddy's rico trial and Diddy's sex trafficking trial. Right,
so there was a lot to unpack here. Let's just
(00:45):
talk about her demeanor first before I get into one
of the main points I want to talk about today.
Cassie breaking down and having conversation and watching in an
open courtroom the video where she was beaten and dragged
by Ditty back in twenty sixteen. Her demeanor. She handled
it so well, y'all. The first half of court, she
was definitely invisibly. You know, she was a little upset,
(01:09):
she was tearing. She didn't completely break down, though, she
held her composure really really well. Second half, even when
she was watching this video, didn't even break right. So
we spent the whole day learning the background of Cassie
and Puff. Like they had been dating for over ten years.
She was super young when she met him. Her twenty
first birthday, she spent with him in Vegas. That was
(01:30):
the first time they kissed. She talked about how she
didn't want that, and you know, she set the scene
early for her being a super green, super young girl
who met this mogul who was going to change her
life through music. And eventually she just leaned all the
way in and now here we are with her sitting
on the stand in front of us, but the prosecutors.
(01:51):
You know, as she was talking about the free calls,
and she broke it down right. She talked about, you know,
the free calls had five steps. Step one was masturbation.
She would have to master bait to the escort and
explain every single detail out loud to Puff. Step two,
they were rubbing baby on each other like crazy, to
the point where like she said, every five minutes, if
puff thought you weren't oiled enough, you would have to
(02:12):
go put more oil. It was so much oil that
like they would have to pay damages in the hotel
rooms because the oil was everywhere. Step three was oral sex,
she said. Cassie told us that she would even skip
to the oral sex sometimes or like rush it because
she just would want to get to the ending. She
woul want to get it over with. She want to
get to having actual sex so it could be over.
(02:33):
Step four she talked about was the actual sex. Now,
when she talked about the actual sex, she made sure
that she mentioned that a lot of times. You know,
she alleged that Diddy wouldn't even be involved. He would
just sit and watching master bait, as we've heard, but
she said there were sometimes where he would get involved
and literally like she would allegedly be having sex with
(02:55):
an escort while giving heads a puff. And she said,
at some points it was so much going on she
just didn't even know, like it was just it was
just so much going on, right, And she said that,
you know, when the escorts would come, Diddy allegedly liked
it when they would come on her. And then she
was supposed to take that come and rub it on
his nipples and on his chest. That was the thing
(03:15):
that I guess he liked. Allegedly, that was all it was, y'all.
It was a lot of It was a lot of
It was a lot. Okay. Her testimony was very but
but she was so calm, and she was so like
just trying to tell the full story in the best
way that she could. She didn't leave out a lot
of the good either. She got to the bad kind
of quick, but she didn't leave out the good. Like
(03:37):
she talked about having a good time with him, everything
she experienced, all the traveling, everything she learned, like just
being so amazed by his life. But baby, when she
got to the bad did she get to it. So
they're talking about the freak offs and the prosecutors are like, yo,
why didn't you ever just like leave? And she was like, well,
there was a time where I tried to leave, she said,
(04:00):
and her direct quote was it was she said, I
was trying to leave in this situation. And that's the
video that we saw that CNN broke of Cassie being
drug dragged down the hall and beaten in the Intercontinental
Hotel in LA in twenty sixteen. So prosecutors when she
brings this up, they bring up text messages first. They
(04:21):
don't play the video first. They bring up text messages first,
and they're like, okay, so that video was March twenty sixteen, right,
let's we're gonna bring up text from around that time
of that video. Actually, I believe that was the same day.
So Cassie mentioned on the stand that that video that
we saw where she's getting beaten in that hotel was
(04:42):
a weekend. She actually had a huge movie premiere coming
up that Monday. So the text that we're looking at
Cassie is named baby Girl in their text messages, and
Diddy is pop Up right, because it did again, she
had this whole weird thing about calling him pop up
because he wanted to be called with her. Granddad was
called I don't know. But she textedy and was like,
(05:04):
I want to foh so bad, And then the prosecutors
asked her to clarify, like what does that mean, and
she says that it meant that she wanted to have
a free cough so bad, And in text she's like,
I want to foh so bad, but I don't want
to mess myself up, because again she had given us
a whole half of day testimony about how when she
would do these free calls, they would be so high
(05:28):
and so drunk it would take her days to get
herself back together. And she was like, she didn't want
to be hungover and sick because again she got this
huge movie premier coming up, right, so she texted Puff that.
And of course the first question in my mind is like, well, wait,
cause you just said this whole time I didn't want
to like when I if I could have counted the
amount of times that Cassie told us she did not
(05:48):
want to be having sex with other men, but did
it because she loved Puff and she thought she had too,
and she didn't want to do it with nobody else
and she didn't want to be beating Yo. If I
had one hundred dollars for every time I heard that,
I would have had a hundred thousand dollars a day
leaving a courtroom. So to see the text with her
being like the initiator of it, I was like, hold up,
But the prosecutors know what they're doing, right, They bringing
(06:09):
that up first, because if they bring it up first,
they can kind of plant the narrative in our minds
first about why were why that even happen? Right, So
they asked her, why did you say you want to
have a free cough? And Cassie answered she was trying
to damage control. She felt like if she pleased him
that weekend, he would be in a happy, great mood
(06:29):
and she could go to her movie premiere on Monday.
No issues, no bruises, allegedly, no nothing, right, So she
was trying to get ahead of it. Now they're like, okay,
and the freak cough happened. Allegedly, that freak off is
what we were seeing. That's where that video came from,
where she's getting beaten in the hotel. So Cassie then
(06:49):
goes into detail the free cough. Right, So, she allegends
that there was a lot of drinking. There was a
lot of party in that day. She says she thought
it was like a Friday or Saturday. She thinks it
was a Friday. She says at some point within them partying, drinking,
having a good time with an escort. There was an
escort there that she had named a couple times in
her testimony today, So obviously this was the escort that
(07:13):
they were kind of familiar with. She says, at some
point she ended up getting hit in the face by Puff.
She alleged that didd he hit her in her face
right at some point, and she couldn't remember why he
did it, but she just remember being hit, and she
said it instantly gave her a black and purple eye, right,
and y'all will remember, and that's what she's alleging, y'all
(07:34):
will remember the security guard that I told y'all they
kind of blew his spot up. Diddy's team did. He
said that when he came off the elevator, Cassie had
a blue up like a purple eye, right, but it
wasn't in his incident report. That's what Diddy's team pointed out.
But she says she had got basically like a blue
and purple eye, like a black eye. So she was like, Nah,
(07:55):
I gotta get out of here. I can't allow him
he lit right now. I can't allow him to like,
you know me too bad. I got to be somewhere Monday,
and I don't want to miss it. That was the
energy that she says she was given, right, So she
says she got all her stuff as much as she
could the prosecutors acts. Did the male escorts allegedly see
her get hit by Puff? And she said, no, he
(08:16):
was in another room, like they were all. It sounds
like they were in the suite, like they were all
in the same room, but he was in another room, right,
So she's like, no, we were in another room, so
he didn't see it. He was still there though, so
potentially he could have heard some things. And to me,
that stuck out because I'm like, okay, that's a witness.
Then he's a witness. He can come and speak to
some things if he needs to or not right, and
(08:38):
then it works out in somebody's favor or it doesn't.
So she's like, you know, at that point, she just
wanted to grab her stuff and get out of there.
So that's what she did. When she felt like Puff
wasn't beying attention or whatever the case it'd be. She
grabbed the stuff. She got out of there. She's chucking
it like she's get She's to the elevator, she's trying
to get out of there, and then boom. That's where
the video picks up. It was interesting to hear kind
(09:01):
of like what her backstory was because Puffs team is
painting this as this alleged like toxic relationship that was
just so bad on both ends that it boiled over
into things like what we saw like him dragging her
down the hallway, right, But they basically are saying, but
(09:22):
she's not without fault either, right now in the video
did he does have a phone that he goes and
grabs back from Cassie in that video? Right? But Puffs
Team also alleged that because Cassie said, I was just
trying to go home. I was just trying to get
out of there. Puffs Team said, no, Diddy was trying
to get her out of there. The prosecutors today did
(09:46):
something very interesting, And I'm gonna ended with this because
we have so much more that we're going to be
talking about this week, and I want you to follow
me on socials. I'm Lauren la Rose that I do
additional breakdowns there as well too, especially on the Breakfast
Club as well. But I'm gonna leave it with this
because this is going to lead into where I believe
we are going to pick up tomorrow, because the prosecution
has to come back in tomorrow and I think that
(10:08):
this is where Diddy's team will probably they're gonna try
to pick it apart. They rewind this video back right,
and they're planning for Cassie a couple times and again, Yo,
she never breaks down the whole time. She getting through it. Okay.
Her brother and her husband are sitting in front of
me as they're replanning and rewatching this video the part
where she actually gets dragged. I'm paying attention to them.
(10:31):
I'm like, I don't know if I could sit through that.
I'm assuming this isn't their first time seeing the video there, right,
but still, it's like all these people in court. It's
the image of her sitting on the stin and she's pregnant,
and she's tearing up, and she's having to rewatch this
multiple times in front of all these people. And I'd
already been told she didn't even want to be there.
It would have hit me. It's hardy to hit me
(10:53):
a little bit. I'm like, Yo, my damn, I like
choking up, like cause I in that moment, it wasn't
about Cassie or Diddy. I felt for a woman who
was beat the way that Cassie was beating that video.
Having to relive that moment and be embarrassed in front
of all of these people and having to be judged
(11:13):
about that moment, in the fact that she stayed with
him after that moment in front of all of these people.
But her husband, he didn't really like he was a
little antsy at first, like he was moving around a lot,
moving around a lot her brother. It's not like he
broke down her crowd or anything, but I wouldn't say
he was like, Okay, Alex shot a couple looks at
Diddy during this video. Alex Fine is a Cassie's husband.
(11:38):
But basically getting to my last point, the prosecutors rewinded
the video back and they played this one point where
in one frame they showed Ditty and he has Cassie's
bags in her hand, and they asked her what is
that in his hand, and she says, those are my bags.
He had ken he grabbed my bags out my hand
(11:59):
and went back to the room. So then they grab
another frame of Puff walking back out of the room,
back out to the elevator lobby area where Cassie was right,
and they're like, what's in his hand now, And she's
looking and she's like, I don't know. Then she looks
again and she's like, I don't think there's anything in
his hand. And they're like, okay, we'll rest today, you're honor.
(12:21):
We'll pick this back up tomorrow. I said, Oh, the
prosecutors are way more subtle at how they do it
Diddy's team. I mean, they're on a defense, so they
you know, they got to be a little bit more,
you know, but subtly. They made such a loud statement
with those two frames, because the whole premise of Diddy's
team's argument is that Diddy maybe a man who has
(12:47):
committed domestic violence, who has committed assault, who has been
a jerk to his girlfriends, who has said things he
shouldn't have said, treated people at work the way he
shouldn't have treated them. This overall been an asshole, and
he'll own up to that, right, but that's not what
he's on trial for in this situation. The way Diddy's
legal team is setting it up is he was in
(13:07):
a toxic relationship that was very tumultuous, that was you know, jealousy, inflaming,
and golf. They used a witness to get this out
into the jury. When you saw that video, at that point,
Puff was just trying to get her home, get her away,
because this toxic thing had builed over and boom, they
just wanted to end. After that, prosecutors already showed the
(13:30):
video of him dragging her back to the hotel, right
back to the hotel room. Right now. They show that
he doesn't have the bags in his hands. You don't
want her to go home. You're not allowing her to
go home, in my opinion, if you're taking her bags
out of her hand and then you're dragging her by
her hair. And a lot of people are like, well,
(13:51):
where does the sex trafficking come into all of this?
Where does all of that come into all of this?
But when you're talking about you know, any of that
right being able to bring people across state lines for
sex and these things, and you know, threatening them with
you know, allegedly threatening them with videos and with your
(14:12):
power and all of that. The best thing that the
prosecution did today was they made Cassie human because a
lot of us had heard about this so much, had
seen you know, her civil suit, and then had heard
that she was a part of this criminal suit. But
I don't think we humanized even after that video. I
think a lot of people did, but I think still
(14:34):
people were like I don't really know. I don't really know.
I after Diddy's defense team came in, I was like,
I don't really know, y'all. And I'm still kind of
like I don't know. I need to see some more.
But after today, the way I empathized with Cassie being
this girl who just found herself in all of this
(14:56):
mess and and the optics of that video were like,
it's like she narrated that video today and it's like,
now we saw it, we saw. We didn't see Cassie
who was like this woman who kept going back to
this man who was abusing her, and who was using
(15:17):
drugs with this man allegedly, and who you know, may
or may not been involved all these things. We didn't
see that. What we saw was twenty one year old
Cassie who felt like this situation because she said it
when she started off her testimony with this, and ironically
(15:39):
it ended up back here if you really called what
they were doing, it ended up back here. She found
herself in a situation that was so much bigger than her,
where the control was so much bigger than her. All
she could do was just be there and be in it.
And that's what she did in the video and they
said to her, why did you just lay their lifeless?
She said it felt like the safest place, and I
(16:01):
was like, baby, this is about to get good. This
is about to get good. Okay, So we're gonna get
into some more. This is the latest with Lauren and Rosa. Again.
I'm at the case. I'm there. Send me y' all questions.
I want to talk about it. Y'all been supporting the content.
I appreciate you, guys. I'm gonna end it here and
(16:22):
I'm just gonna send out, you know, a note of
like thank you for all that support. I posted a
video that I did in addition to the podcast the
other day from the case, and we're almost at a
million views. No collabse on nothing, So I appreciate y'all
so much for supporting this content. And let me know
y'all are in the comments. Engagement. Keep on doing it.
(16:42):

the sweet sweet me. Let me know what's going on.
This is the latest with Laura Rosa. I'm a homegrowl
that knows a bit about everything and everybody. I will
see you guys in my next episode.
I'm the homegrowl that knows a little bit about everything

Lauren came, Hey, guys, it's Laura La Rosa. This is

this is your daily dig on everything pop culture and

(00:23):
taking y'all back the court because you girl love taking
y'all a court. Lot it take y'all a court now.
Today we are talking Cassie and Diddy because this was
Cassie's first day on the stand as one of the

(06:49):
goes into detail the free cough. Right, So, she allegends

Then he's a witness. He can come and speak to
some things if he needs to or not right, and
(08:38):
then it works out in somebody's favor or it doesn't.
So she's like, you know, at that point, she just
wanted to grab her stuff and get out of there.
So that's what she did. When she felt like Puff
wasn't beying attention or whatever the case it'd be. She
grabbed the stuff. She got out of there. She's chucking
it like she's get She's to the elevator, she's trying
to get out of there, and then boom. That's where
the video picks up. It was interesting to hear kind
(09:01):
of like what her backstory was because Puffs team is
painting this as this alleged like toxic relationship that was
just so bad on both ends that it boiled over
into things like what we saw like him dragging her
down the hallway, right, But they basically are saying, but
(09:22):
she's not without fault either, right now in the video
did he does have a phone that he goes and
grabs back from Cassie in that video? Right? But Puffs
Team also alleged that because Cassie said, I was just
trying to go home. I was just trying to get
out of there. Puffs Team said, no, Diddy was trying
to get her out of there. The prosecutors today did
(09:46):
something very interesting, And I'm gonna ended with this because
we have so much more that we're going to be
talking about this week, and I want you to follow
me on socials. I'm Lauren la Rose that I do
additional breakdowns there as well too, especially on the Breakfast
Club as well. But I'm gonna leave it with this
because this is going to lead into where I believe
we are going to pick up tomorrow, because the prosecution
has to come back in tomorrow and I think that
(10:08):
this is where Diddy's team will probably they're gonna try
to pick it apart. They rewind this video back right,
and they're planning for Cassie a couple times and again, Yo,
she never breaks down the whole time. She getting through it. Okay.
Her brother and her husband are sitting in front of
me as they're replanning and rewatching this video the part
where she actually gets dragged. I'm paying attention to them.
(10:31):
I'm like, I don't know if I could sit through that.
I'm assuming this isn't their first time seeing the video there, right,
but still, it's like all these people in court. It's
the image of her sitting on the stin and she's pregnant,
and she's tearing up, and she's having to rewatch this
multiple times in front of all these people. And I'd
already been told she didn't even want to be there.
It would have hit me. It's hardy to hit me
(10:53):
a little bit. I'm like, Yo, my damn, I like
choking up, like cause I in that moment, it wasn't
about Cassie or Diddy. I felt for a woman who
was beat the way that Cassie was beating that video.
Having to relive that moment and be embarrassed in front
of all of these people and having to be judged
(11:13):
about that moment, in the fact that she stayed with
him after that moment in front of all of these people.
But her husband, he didn't really like he was a
little antsy at first, like he was moving around a lot,
moving around a lot her brother. It's not like he
broke down her crowd or anything, but I wouldn't say
he was like, Okay, Alex shot a couple looks at
Diddy during this video. Alex Fine is a Cassie's husband.
(11:38):
But basically getting to my last point, the prosecutors rewinded
the video back and they played this one point where
in one frame they showed Ditty and he has Cassie's
bags in her hand, and they asked her what is
that in his hand, and she says, those are my bags.
He had ken he grabbed my bags out my hand
(11:59):
and went back to the room. So then they grab
another frame of Puff walking back out of the room,
back out to the elevator lobby area where Cassie was right,
and they're like, what's in his hand now, And she's
looking and she's like, I don't know. Then she looks
again and she's like, I don't think there's anything in
his hand. And they're like, okay, we'll rest today, you're honor.
(12:21):
We'll pick this back up tomorrow. I said, Oh, the
prosecutors are way more subtle at how they do it
Diddy's team. I mean, they're on a defense, so they
you know, they got to be a little bit more,
you know, but subtly. They made such a loud statement
with those two frames, because the whole premise of Diddy's
team's argument is that Diddy maybe a man who has
(12:47):
committed domestic violence, who has committed assault, who has been
a jerk to his girlfriends, who has said things he
shouldn't have said, treated people at work the way he
shouldn't have treated them. This overall been an asshole, and
he'll own up to that, right, but that's not what
he's on trial for in this situation. The way Diddy's
legal team is setting it up is he was in
(13:07):
a toxic relationship that was very tumultuous, that was you know, jealousy, inflaming,
and golf. They used a witness to get this out
into the jury. When you saw that video, at that point,
Puff was just trying to get her home, get her away,
because this toxic thing had builed over and boom, they
just wanted to end. After that, prosecutors already showed the
(13:30):
video of him dragging her back to the hotel, right
back to the hotel room. Right now. They show that
he doesn't have the bags in his hands. You don't
want her to go home. You're not allowing her to
go home, in my opinion, if you're taking her bags
out of her hand and then you're dragging her by
her hair. And a lot of people are like, well,
(13:51):
where does the sex trafficking come into all of this?
Where does all of that come into all of this?
But when you're talking about you know, any of that
right being able to bring people across state lines for
sex and these things, and you know, threatening them with
you know, allegedly threatening them with videos and with your
(14:12):
power and all of that. The best thing that the
prosecution did today was they made Cassie human because a
lot of us had heard about this so much, had
seen you know, her civil suit, and then had heard
that she was a part of this criminal suit. But
I don't think we humanized even after that video. I
think a lot of people did, but I think still
(14:34):
people were like I don't really know. I don't really know.
I after Diddy's defense team came in, I was like,
I don't really know, y'all. And I'm still kind of
like I don't know. I need to see some more.
But after today, the way I empathized with Cassie being
this girl who just found herself in all of this
(14:56):
mess and and the optics of that video were like,
it's like she narrated that video today and it's like,
now we saw it, we saw. We didn't see Cassie
who was like this woman who kept going back to
this man who was abusing her, and who was using
(15:17):
drugs with this man allegedly, and who you know, may
or may not been involved all these things. We didn't
see that. What we saw was twenty one year old
Cassie who felt like this situation because she said it
when she started off her testimony with this, and ironically
(15:39):
it ended up back here if you really called what
they were doing, it ended up back here. She found
herself in a situation that was so much bigger than her,
where the control was so much bigger than her. All
she could do was just be there and be in it.
And that's what she did in the video and they
said to her, why did you just lay their lifeless?
She said it felt like the safest place, and I
(16:01):
was like, baby, this is about to get good. This
is about to get good. Okay, So we're gonna get
into some more. This is the latest with Lauren and Rosa. Again.
