She also claimed that money played a significant role in these relationships because Diddy was paying for the women's homes, their cars, their vacations and trips on private planes. She said Cassie had demanded $30 million when she sued him for physical abuse in 2023. And she said that while the evidence would show a very flawed individual and a complicated man, this was not a complicated case.

Mr. Flores said that it was around 11 a.m. when he received a call from the hotel saying there was a woman in distress on the sixth floor. When he arrived, Cassie was bundled up on the corner looking scared and Diddy, who was dressed only in a towel and socks, was louched in a chair.

He said Cassie told him she wanted to leave, but initially Diddy told her she could not. Mr. Flores said he told the rapper that she could go if she wanted to and Cassie left. But just as he also went to go, Diddy allegedly offered him a stack of money. He said, take care of this and don't tell anybody. He said he took this to be a bribe and refused.
