[!CDATA[Cassie recounted to the jury an incident in 2007 where Sean “Diddy” Combs became violent towards her during a car ride. She mentioned that after seeing him flirt with someone else at a restaurant, she shrugged her shoulders, which led to Combs physically assaulting her in the car. The altercation took place inside an Escalade SUV with Combs’ security guard and driver present. During another car ride in Los Angeles, Cassie shared that she struck Combs after he called her a derogatory name. This action caused Combs to become aggressive and he proceeded to stomp on her face with his foot. Cassie tried to defend herself as Combs continued to attack her for about 10 minutes. Following the violent incident, Cassie fled down the street, but Combs’ security guard caught up to her. Once back at Combs’ house, Cassie observed her swollen and bruised appearance in the mirror. She also mentioned feeling sick and vomiting in Combs’ presence. After the assault, Combs and his team arranged for Cassie to stay at the London Hotel for a week, restricting visitors except for her stylist. Despite her discomfort and desire to leave, Cassie was instructed by Combs to stay at the hotel and cover her face when in public. In conclusion, Cassie’s testimony shed light on the abusive behavior she experienced at the hands of Sean “Diddy” Combs during their relationship. The incidents she described underscore the importance of recognizing and addressing domestic violence in all its forms.]]
