Chloe Melas

You can tell he's stressed, and this is very different than the Sean Combs that we've seen at all the pretrial hearings where he's smiling, and he's even yesterday blowing a kiss to his family. He looks stressed. Maybe that's because this is the first time that he's seen Cassie since they broke up several years ago. And also, I mean, because let's be honest, he faces up to life in prison.

Oh, absolutely. There will be other witnesses. There are other alleged victims. But Cassie is the star witness.

So Cassie is an artist, right, who had... a couple of hits very early on in her career. And she described being introduced to Combs because she was hoping to sign with Bad Boy Records. And she ultimately did land this 10-album deal with his company. And she said she knew him as this serial entrepreneur. He was a kingmaker.

and you know she was just excited to be in his presence and in the beginning of their relationship he was really looking out for her she had a couple of bad performances and she said that he always had her back but then she says that it was her 21st birthday and she celebrated it in las vegas and that is the night that combs kissed her for the first time and she actually said in her testimony today that she

ran out crying because she was so taken aback by the fact that he was showing interest in her. He's essentially her boss. And she was really confused. And she described herself as just being just really naive when it came to relationships. But then she said shortly thereafter, their situation became romantic and that she started to fall in love with him. And that's when they became intimate.

And then they ended up staying together on and off for 11 years.

And what's also really interesting is that she said she thought that they were in this monogamous relationship, but it turned out that Combs had, quote, many girlfriends in his life, right? And she said on the stand today that she was jealous. And so that is something that we heard in Combs' defense's opening statement yesterday, that this, all of this rage was fueled by jealousy on both sides.

Cassie said that early on in the relationship, he introduced the idea of having threesomes. And ultimately, they had a threesome with an escort. And she said that she didn't want to do it, but that she didn't really vocalize it because she wanted to make Sean happy. And she said that once they did it, it just kept going. And that at one point, these freak-offs were happening weekly.

And some of these freak-offs would last days. At a certain point, she said Sean was essentially controlling most of her life. I mean, she said that, look, I mean, he was the head of Bad Boy. He controlled her career. He told her what to wear, allegedly. She said that she was the one that was instructed by Combs to go and hire these escorts. Sometimes she would book the hotels.

She would pay the escorts. And that she would even bring candles and baby oil and help really arrange the hotel room before these freak-offs happened. Cassie got emotional at times, Chloe? Yeah, so pretty early on in her testimony, you saw her holding a Kleenex, and she was wiping her nose and kind of wiping her eyes.
