It's so interesting seeing those photos of the baby oil because that was one thing that really, when these raids happened, that was what everyone was talking about, the amounts of baby oil. And now you see it corroborated with the testimony that these witnesses have given. And another thing that was striking to me was the writing on the mirror. Can you talk a little bit more about that?
Well, Dan, thank you so much for joining us. I know you have to run back into court. So we will be following along on the live blog. Thank you so much.
We'll be back right after this.
Next witness on the stand was Sharae Hayes. He's 51, and he's been working as an exotic dancer and a stripper in New York for 30 years. He goes by the stage name The Punisher. He said he was given this nickname as a teenager when he used to play basketball.
The Punisher said he advertises his services online, and his job was to attend bachelorette parties and perform stripteases at house parties for birthdays and any other celebrations.
but he said that when he got to the hotel, there were no guests and what he was asked to do was very different than his typical work.
Yeah, and then he went on to tell the jury that he was contacted a second time by the couple and it was only during this encounter when he turned on the television in the hotel room and saw a welcome message for Sean Combs that he realized exactly who he'd been hired to work for.
He said he went on to perform for the couple up to 12 times, usually always early in the hours of the morning and always at hotels in New York. He said the encounters took place over a period of just under three years and each could last for up to eight hours at a time. He said he was paid either $1,200 or $2,000 a time.
The Punisher said that he didn't really do drugs or anything like that, but he was offered alcohol and marijuana. And then he pretended to inhale the smoke because, again, he's not a drug user. So he was never actually under the influence. And he also said that he never saw Diddy or Cassie take drugs and that they never really appeared intoxicated.
He did admit that he just didn't have much experience with narcotics, but he said he took Viagra because sometimes the pressure of having to have sex in front of Diddy made him nervous and really struggled to perform.
That is quite the title there. And naturally, there was lots of laughter in the courtroom, Hermania. And then laughter came again when Donaldson questioned him about it. This exchange begins with Donaldson.
Hayes said that Cassie and Diddy were not named in the book, but he said he had referred to his encounters with them over six of its 182 pages. He accepted that certain details were not entirely accurate and admitted that he had sensationalized Cassie's enjoyment in his writing, quote, for entertainment.
Now, we also had another former member of Diddy's staff give evidence this week. That was his former personal assistant, George Kaplan. He told jurors that he, quote, desperately did not want to come to court and that he was forced to testify because federal prosecutors had subpoenaed him. Initially, he said he would refuse to answer any questions and he wanted to invoke his Fifth Amendment right.
But the government granted him immunity, so effectively he was left with no choice to take the stand and testify.
But like we said, he was given no option and prosecutor Maureen Comey began by asking him about his role. He said he worked for him for two years from December 2013 until December 2015 and earned $125,000 during that time. But the hours were tough.
He worked up to 100 hours a week, he said, organizing Diddy's life, his business affairs, and his belongings at his home, his office, and his recording studio. He said he never worked harder in his life than when he worked for Diddy.
And while he was working for Diddy, he said it was basically common for Diddy to threaten his job and that he once got in his face for bringing him the wrong brand of water. Here's Maureen Comey asking the questions. Their exchange has been voiced by actors.
Kaplan said that twice he agreed to meet a drug dealer and pick up narcotics for Diddy. Once in Miami when ecstasy pills were delivered to Diddy's home and another time in L.A. He also said he was occasionally asked to carry cash and one time looked after $50,000 on Diddy's private jet. And then he said it was in the bedroom of that jet during a flight in L.A.
in 2011 that he once saw Diddy physically attack Cassie. He recalled how he was sitting with his back to the bedroom door and he heard a glass smash and a, quote, tremendous commotion. He said that when he looked behind him, Diddy was standing over Cassie and she had her legs up as if to try and push some distance between them. He said that she screamed, quote, isn't anybody seeing this?
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.
