Ms. Johnson said that, as well as hearing from Cassie, the jury would hear from two other women, Jane, another of Diddy's ex-girlfriends, and a woman called Mia, who worked as his personal assistant. Both of them are anonymous and cannot be named. She said it is alleged that Diddy beat up Jane not even a year ago today. She said she described the attack as the worst day of her life.
Ms. Johnson said later that night, the couple fought again.
She said as well as hearing from Cassie, Jane and Mia would be called to give evidence and their testimony would prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Diddy was guilty.
She said Mia will say he forced himself on her sexually and assaulted her, while other staff members, including his chefs and personal assistants, will describe how they were threatened with guns or ordered to buy him drugs or work punishing hours, at times without any sleep.
Ms. Johnson said the evidence would come in piece by piece, but by the end of the trial, they would understand the full picture. And she summed up the case against Diddy by saying,
She told the jury the story of Sean Combs' life was a fascinating rags to riches tale. She said he was an engaging individual and people wanted to be around him and work for him because they realized that to do so meant they could be part of something special.
She said her witnesses would tell the jury that they were not part of any criminal enterprise and that this case is all about the private and very personal life of her client.
She said he was physical, he used drugs and had a bit of a different sex life. But she insisted jealousy, alcohol or drugs were at the heart of his problems and typically the root cause of the fighting that took place between himself and both Cassie and Jane.
And it's far from over. I want to reiterate that Diddy has denied all charges. Be sure to tune in this Friday to hear word-for-word coverage on Cassie's long-awaited testimony and much more.
And I'm Germania Rodriguez-Poleo.
That's right, Kayla. And today we heard the shocking case against him outlined for the very first time. We're going to hear how the rapper, with the help of his trusted inner circle, was allegedly allowed to commit and get away with a string of serious sex and violent crimes for more than 20 years.
How the women were forced to take drugs and have sex with male prostitutes in secret sex sessions, which he called freak-offs that he filmed for his own sexual gratification.
And when they failed to meet his impossible demands, he allegedly attacked them, sexually assaulted them, and made them take drugs. Welcome to The King on Trial.
At the height of his career, Sean Diddy Combs had it all. Everything Diddy touched turned to gold. Now he faces multiple federal charges in New York, including sex trafficking and allegedly running a criminal enterprise.
And just to set the scene, Diddy arrived in court with a new outfit today. He was wearing a gray suit with a white shirt and glasses. His 85-year-old mother, Janice, was there too. She was wearing a large pair of sunglasses. Six of his seven kids also showed up to court. They all sat a couple of rows behind him in the main courtroom.
Diddy's girlfriend, Dana Tran, also made a surprise appearance at the courthouse, and several of his close friends were also in the overflow court. One of Diddy's representatives, a woman called Holly Baird, told reporters that he was upbeat and ready for his side of the story to be told. The jury selection in this trial has already been a lengthy process.
Over the past week, 150 potential jurors have been whittled down. There was even some debate around potential racial bias in the jury pool as the defense highlighted that seven black prospective jurors were being dismissed. This was quickly resolved. And just after 9.30 a.m. today, the hearing got underway with the final 18 jury members being chosen.
There are 12, eight men and four women on the main jury and another six alternates. At around 10.17 a.m. today, they were each asked to stand in turn and were sworn in to try the case. The judge told them that they had a tremendously important task to do. He said it would be a long road, but they alone could be the sole judges of the facts of the case.
She said, with the help of his trusted inner circle of bodyguards and staff, he committed many serious crimes, including kidnapping, arson, bribery, and crimes involving drugs and sex. And his entourage allegedly helped him to commit and cover up these crimes again and again. She said she wanted the jury to understand that the case is not about Diddy's private sexual preferences.
Rather, his behavior was allegedly coercive and criminal because he forced women to have sex when they did not want to.
