A girlfriend of Sean Combs, but now we are hearing allegations that she was, in fact, a victim of Sean Combs. This was, I think, like a 35-page complaint where Cassie did two things that I think were very interesting from a legal and also storytelling standpoint. Mm-hmm.

She looked at her relationship with Sean Combs and was able to highlight things that we saw in the public eye, things that we saw her at the VMAs. And she said, you might not have seen it, but I was covering up bruises because I was assaulted two days before that. Right.

You may have seen me where I had this record deal for, for 10 albums, which was massive because when she came out with me and you, we were all over that. And that was a song that was not produced by Sean Cohen, but in fact, draw his attention to Cassie. And we thought she was going to blow up. But there was never that blow up. There were no further albums that came out.

There were no further albums that came out.

And she alleged in that complaint that it was almost as if that deal was held over her head. That she had to commit to these sexual acts. She had to have sex with male sex workers in order to please Sean Combs. That she would be assaulted and transported to different states at his whim. And there was always this... You have to prove yourself.

And again, the juxtaposition of us seeing it in interviews where she had talked to radio stations of saying, my album's coming out. I just have to prove myself to bad boy. And at the time you thought about it as like, yeah, you got to prove yourself to like show how great you are as an artist. And that's how you really make it in this industry. But now we're like, your boyfriend was Sean Combs.

Like, what do you have to prove to him? You had an absolute banger in me and you. We know that you kind of flopped to some degree in the 106 and Park live performance. But what's the missing piece? And I think for many people, Cassie's lawsuit provided that missing piece in the context of this is why this all happened. And here are the allegations she put forward.

Like really quickly by any standards, literally here today, gone tomorrow, because it was filed, I think on a Thursday or Friday. And this is in 2023. In 2023, I think in November of 2023. And then the very next day it was settled. And for people who don't follow a lot of civil lawsuits, we often as a community or a public don't hear the details of the lawsuits.

who had admitted to what, what the dollar amount was, what was negotiated, what was argued, what agreements go on going forward. And so all we heard was from Sean Combs' legal team, we have settled this amicably and there's no admission of guilt. And that was it.

the answer is we don't know no one's ever going to know in large part because likely a part of that negotiated settlement is that the parties do not discuss but as a defense attorney and someone who also does a little bit of civil work i can speculate and this is absolute speculation you don't want to go through the process of litigating this type of case

You don't want to have to sit down for depositions and potential evidence where Cassie is... Because it's one thing to read a 34-page complaint. It's another thing for Cassie to sit down for hours on end and be deposed. It's a very other thing for Sean Combs to be compelled to sit down and be deposed.
