And they kept asking, you know, what offer, if any, was conveyed. There were a lot of objections to that. And essentially she says she declined the offer that was made to her. and that they've never spoken since that moment.
Yeah. So she says that she got a lawsuit a month or two later filed. She insisted it was because she wanted to seek justice for what happened to her. And she was asked, you know, how much her lawyer on her behalf requested. And they requested $10 million. She says it's a figure her lawyer came up with, not from her. And she says, look, I'm not expecting to get any money from the criminal trial.
And yes, I would give the money back if I could take away everything that happened to me.
was a day that the defense were celebrating, probably. I mean, in my notebook, I can't tell you how many I don't remembers I wrote or I can't recall, or can you rephrase the question? So we go back through several different incidents. But if you look at the balcony incident in particular, Nicole Westmoreland, the defense lawyer, really zeroed in on the inconsistencies in their story.
And she suggested under cross-examination that actually Cassie and Bona spoke. They were working together in November of 2023 and December of 2024. Bonna was aware of Cassie's lawsuit and that they were speaking throughout this whole entire time discussing past claims. Well, in cross-examination, Nicole Westmoreland made it seem like the two of them were essentially plotting together in a way.
She said, you know, isn't it true that you discussed the locations of where you said this happened? Cassie said it happened at a hotel. You said it happened at her apartment. Isn't it true that you two were discussing specific dates? She said one, you suggested another. Isn't it true that you were asked who was there? And on and on and on it went.
And it was to kind of give this sense to the jury that, you know, here are two people who are still talking and are colluding to go after Diddy and make money off of him. That's the impression they were trying to leave the jury with.
doing drugs almost every single day. And they said, weren't you competing with the likes of Beyonce and Rihanna? And Bana agrees with the defense that the reason, you know, the company didn't work out was not because Diddy was holding Cassie back in any way, but it was actually because of their own problems in getting the business together. And there was one very pointed question where she says,
Isn't it hard to be productive in business when you're getting high every day? So it was an attempt by the defense to show that Cassie was failing at other ventures and other things at a time when she was also pursuing a music career.
And that Vonna was somebody who wasn't just doing drugs with her, but was acting almost as her supplier, actually getting part of her income on the drugs she was selling to Cassie. And that was a big part of their dynamic and why Cassie wasn't able to be successful.
Yeah, that's right. And this is another point where we heard a lot of these I don't recall or I don't remember from Barna. You know, Nicole Westmoreland was saying, isn't it true that you first told the government that you were at a party, not that you were sleeping? Wouldn't you agree that sleeping and being at a party or two different claims.
Then she said, you know, you never told the government that Diddy came in banging the first time you made the allegation of him banging on the doors in your civil complaint. Also, you said at one point you were smoking weed, another time you were smoking a cigarette or pretending to smoke weed. She says those are three different things.
She also says you told the government that you saw Diddy charging directly at you from across the room. Again, she says, I don't remember. I don't remember. I don't remember when this Nicole Westmoreland kind of tries to hammer her on that. And then she says, you know, didn't you accuse Combs of sexually assaulting you?
putting his hands on your chest and groping you after your demand letters, essentially, when you spoke to the government. And so Nicole Westmoreland telling her, you know, are you lying, trying to bring up any inconsistency in their stories to attack their credibility?
I mean, every answer toward the end was almost, I don't recall, I don't remember. And the defense, at one point, the judge asked them, how much time do you have? And they said, how much time will you give us? They didn't want this to go into the next day. They wanted to finish with her on the stand then and there because clearly they felt they were in a position of strength with this questioning.
Let's not forget that Jane is the second alleged victim that underpins the sex trafficking allegations. Her testimony is going to be so critical to this case alongside Cassie's. And sure, prosecutors would have loved to have started the day fresh with her, but we are going to have more time with Bonna on the stand.
