Now, Diddy knew he was going to be arrested because he'd already agreed with his attorneys that he was going to surrender to the authorities. But shockingly, it seems he was still planning on having a freak-off before he was taken into custody.
The next witness the jury heard from was Dawn Richard. She's 42 and from New Orleans. Now, most of our U.S. listeners will probably know that she's a singer in a girl band, but for our listeners in the U.K., we should explain that she's famous for being one of the five members of a group called Danity Kane, which was formed as part of the MTV series Making the Band.
Now, this group made it pretty big. They sold 100,000 records in just one day and as many as 600,000 in a week at the peak of their popularity.
And she also told the jury that during that time, she often witnessed him beating up Cassie. Mitzi Steiner, who is another one of the prosecuting lawyers, asked her about a specific incident that occurred late one night in 2009 when she was recording with Dirty Money in the basement studio at Diddy's LA home. This exchange, which begins with Ms. Steiner, has been voiced by actors.
She told the jury that following this attack, she frequently saw Diddy being violent towards Cassie. She said the attacks could be random or happened when Cassie had an opinion or tried to speak up for herself. She said Diddy's staff and bodyguards also witnessed Cassie being assaulted but did nothing to stop it.
She said that Diddy and Cassie continued arguing on the way home in the car when he grabbed her by the neck and slapped her in the mouth. She said Cassie really wanted to have a career in music and modeling, but Diddy owned her and told her things would happen, quote, on his time.
She said Didi and Harv Pierre, who was the president of Bad Boy Records, warned her that it would get, quote, dark and lonely if she did not listen.
She admitted she'd filed a civil lawsuit against Diddy last year, but claimed she had no idea how much money had been requested to settle it. She said she'd filed it because she'd been forced to work for days on end with no sleep, and she wanted compensation for that. And she ended her direct testimony by insisting that she was giving evidence against him for, quote, justice, not cash.
Westmoreland took her back to the first time she allegedly saw Diddy attack Cassie in 2009. She pointed out that when she was interviewed by prosecutors, Ms. Richard told them Diddy had hit Cassie with the frying pan and later that he threw eggs at her and did not strike her with the pan.
Westmoreland also pointed out that she was interviewed by prosecutors three times, and at no interview had she mentioned that Diddy had made a death threat towards her to stay quiet. Ms. Richard claimed notes of the interviews must be wrong.
Now. Something to note, Karen, is that Diddy appeared a bit frustrated with his lawyer after she was done with the cross-examination. And there was a hot mic moment where he appeared to be asking his lawyer why they did not bring up an interview. It's unclear which interview he was referring to. The next witness to be called was Cassie's former best friend, Carrie Morgan.
She's 39 and from Buffalo, New York. She was questioned by another of the prosecutors, Meredith Foster. Morgan told the jury that she first met Cassie on a modeling gig in 2001 when they were still in high school. She was 16 and Cassie was 15. She said they became best friends but fell out in 2018 and no longer speak. She said this was because Diddy assaulted her and Cassie took his side.
Now, Karen, we know that it was a year later when Cassie was 19 that she started dating Diddy. Morgan said that this was when they started taking drugs. She said he would give them ecstasy and marijuana, which they all took when they went out to nightclubs to party. She said that at first she liked Diddy. She thought he was extremely generous.
They hung out with his entourage and became friends with his staff and bodyguards and had a lot of fun together. But she also said there was a lot of chaos around him and that he was a flawed person. She described him as an intimidating and strong presence. And she said that over time she realized he would get moody. She said she saw him get aggressive and upset instead of having fun.
She said he would talk down to Cassie and criticize her looks, her behavior and who she spoke to.
Another time, she saw Diddy hit Cassie when they were all on vacation in Jamaica in January 2013. She said she, Cassie and Diddy had been drinking when Cassie left to go to the bathroom. She said a few minutes later Diddy went after her because he thought she'd been gone too long and the next thing she knew Cassie was screaming. This exchange, which begins with Foster, has been voiced by actors.
She said she ran inside to get her bag and then saw Diddy and Cassie outside.
She said she and Diddy jumped in a golf cart each to try and find her. Not long after that, Cassie came running out of the woods and she picked her up. She said they hid from him in a ditch for what felt like hours before eventually returning to the house.
Morgan also told the jury about the attack, which led to the end of her friendship with Cassie. She said she'd been staying at her house in Hollywood in 2018 when Diddy arrived and started accusing Cassie of cheating. Now, we know that by this time, Cassie had started dating her personal trainer, Alex Fine, who later went on to become her husband.
So to recap, Cassie is the prosecution's star witness. She says that from the age of just 22, Diddy coerced her into taking part in hundreds of drug-fueled sex parties. She says she did so at first to make him happy and later because she was worried he would turn violent or leak video footage of these sex sessions on the internet if she refused.
