Yeah, but Cassie wasn't the only woman that he said he saw Diddy get violent with. He said that he saw Diddy get violent toward Gina Hewn while they were staying at his mansion in Miami. He said Diddy was angry and he was actually throwing apples, which were part of an ornament in the hallway. He said that he saw him throw them very hard at her and that the tension in the air was very scary.

And then later in the middle of the night, he said he heard Gina's voice and screaming and a commotion outside of the property. But again, he said he did nothing because he wanted a successful career and he just thought Diddy's behavior was normal for the entertainment industry.

Yeah, and at this point, Diddy could be seen nodding in the courtroom as Kaplan told the jury that working for the rapper had been, quote, an incredible thing and a, quote, once in a lifetime opportunity. He said he considered Diddy to be a god among men and an inspirational business mogul who taught him to have a work ethic and lessons that he still uses today.

He said Diddy had an extremely infectious vibration and people couldn't help but feel excited when they were around him. He said his friends told him he was crazy to quit because, quote, this was my Harvard and I was blowing it.

So not only did the jury hear from witnesses, but they also heard from an expert this week. That was Dr. Dawn Hughes. She's a clinical and forensic psychologist who specializes in trauma and traumatic stress. And we should say here that this isn't the first big case she's been involved in. She also testified in the very famous Amber Heard and Johnny Depp trial back in 2022.
