The Trial of Diddy
“People Go Missing”
No, I made a decision that it would be best for the safety of myself to not interfere because I don't think she was ready to really do anything.
The Trial of Diddy
“People Go Missing”
No, I would agree that I told it to the best of my recollection, and it was as close as I could give it.
The Trial of Diddy
“People Go Missing”
Yeah, I don't care about that. You didn't care? Yeah, whether he signed me.
The Trial of Diddy
“People Go Missing”
He came down the stairs screaming, belligerent, asking where his food was and proceeded to hit her over the head and then kick her and beat her on the ground in front of us. He was saying, where the fuck was his eggs? Excuse my language. And he was telling Cassie that she never gets anything right. Where the fuck is his food?

“People Go Missing”
And he proceeded to come over to her and took the skillet with the eggs in it and tried to hit her over the head with it. And she fell to the ground. So did the skillet hit her? It didn't seem that he hit her fully. It seemed like she was anticipating it by going down.

“People Go Missing”
She went into the fetal position. You could see where she was literally trying to hide her face or her head.
The Trial of Diddy
“People Go Missing”
He proceeded to take his arm around her neck and put his hand in her hair and dragged her upstairs to the first floor.
The Trial of Diddy
“People Go Missing”
I was scared for her and scared to do anything in fear of what that might mean for me too.
The Trial of Diddy
“People Go Missing”
He was punching his girlfriend. He was beating her up in front of us. And I was scared if I intervened or did anything that it might get worse.
The Trial of Diddy
“People Go Missing”
He said that what we saw was passion and what lovers and relationships do. He said that she was okay and that it would be in our best interest if we didn't say anything. He was trying to take us to the top and that where he comes from, people go missing if they say things like that, like if people talk.
The Trial of Diddy
“People Go Missing”
She came into the bathroom crying. He walked off angry and she came in the bathroom and we were with her and it was really quiet. You could see her upset, like she just, she was hurt.
The Trial of Diddy
“People Go Missing”
We were having a private conversation and we were all sitting, eating at the tables together. When I say we, I mean some of our other label and even some other celebrities were in the room. And they were secretly arguing and he punched her in the stomach. Sean Combs punched her in the stomach.

“People Go Missing”
She immediately bent over and then he told her to leave because I could see him point out and she went out and left the room.
The Trial of Diddy
“People Go Missing”
It was very much like when I'm ready for you, you'll do it. And it was always wait, wait, wait for her. Like she had to wait her time.
The Trial of Diddy
“People Go Missing”
Oh, man, stay the fuck out of my relationship. You bitches are here to work, not be a part of my relationship. You motherfuckers don't know real work, man. What, if any, threats would Mr. Combs make to you? That we would pay for it. That was always y'all are going to pay for it or keep doing it. I that kind of thing. It's always, you do this, or else something bad will happen to you.
The Trial of Diddy
“People Go Missing”
It was always that, like, a threat, that if you didn't stay in line, there was consequences.
The Trial of Diddy
“People Go Missing”
I had seen and witnessed brutality in a way that I had to believe that if the person that was supposedly in love with did what he did to her, what would he do to an employee? I imagine it would be worse than that. How did you respond to these threats? My thought was to be as kind as possible. Like, I tried to please. I saw what if you spoke out looked like.
The Trial of Diddy
“People Go Missing”
So I would often approach Mr. Combs like with softness and like, hey, how are you? It was always very much like if I do it this way, I may well have a better chance than what the other way looked like.
