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.
She said sexual abuse could also stop women leaving an abusive relationship.
Dr. Hughes said that abusers often love bomb their victims with affection or presents and gifts to keep them in a relationship and that it's more difficult for victims to disclose what's going on if their abuser has wealth, access and privilege.
She also told the jury about a phenomenon called a trauma bond, which she said is when somebody loves their partner in spite of the violence and the abuse.
So that's it for today. Thank you for listening and tune in to our next episode every Tuesday and Friday.
Welcome to The Trial of Diddy. I'm Germania Rodriguez-Poleo. And I'm Karen Ruiz, filling in for Kayla Brantley. We'll be back in a second.
Everything Diddy touched turned to gold. Now he faces multiple federal charges in New York, including sex trafficking and allegedly running a criminal enterprise.
Welcome back to The Trial of Diddy. We're now into the second week of testimony in this trial, and it's fair to say that there have been some very interesting revelations over the past few days. Filling in for Kayla today is Karen Rees. Karen is the assistant editor for the Daily Mail U.S. exclusives desk. Welcome to The Trial of Diddy, Karen.
That's right, Karen. It comes from his personal assistant who claimed in court this was the moment he felt in danger as an employee.
We've got the evidence from singer Don Richard, who watched him attack Cassie with a frying pan and later threatened her to keep quiet about what she had seen. And how Cassie negotiated a $30,000 payout to her best friend after she too was allegedly attacked by Diddy. Welcome to the trial of Diddy. People go missing. So Karen, on Friday, we heard a lot from Cassie.
As we know, at eight months pregnant, she spent four days being questioned about her 11-year relationship with Diddy. We're going to bring you some of her final testimony later in this episode. But first of all, we're going to bring you the evidence of some of the other witnesses that we've heard from this week.
James told a jury that Diddy had at least three other girlfriends, as well as Kim Porter and Cassie, when he worked for him. He said he remembered overhearing a conversation when Diddy told a friend that he had Cassie, quote, right where he wanted her and that she was young and very moldable. He said he was often asked to set up hotel rooms for Diddy and would organize clothes and toiletries.
He said they would be paid for by the record label. But when he restocked personal items such as baby oil, lubricant and condoms, he would ask his security to reimburse him and they would give him cash. James said Diddy also traveled with a medicine bag that contained around 30 different pills.
He said the rapper took prescription drugs, including painkillers, water tablets to help him lose weight, and Viagra, as well as ecstasy. He said he remembered one type of ecstasy pill that he took, which was pressed in the shape of Barack Obama's face.
And James also told the jury that he decided to quit after an incident in November 2008 when he was ordered to drive Diddy and his bodyguards to Mel's Diner in LA to confront Suge Knight. As many will know, he's the man who ran Death Row Records, who, as we know, Diddy classed as one of his biggest rivals.
James said he looked into the back of the black Escalade and saw Diddy had three handguns in his lap. He told the jury, quote, I was really shook up by it. It was the first time I realized my life was in danger. We'll be right back after this.
Welcome back to the trial of Diddy. Now, one of the other witnesses to take the stand this week was Homeland Security Special Agent Yasin Binda. She works with the Human Trafficking Department and was one of the officers sent to search Diddy's hotel room, room 2115 at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan on September 16th, which of course was the day Diddy was arrested.
