“I Can’t Carry the Shame”

So this was what the defense say was just a flavor of what the messages say. And what the defense claim these messages show is not what was happening during the freak offs, but rather what Cassie was anticipating or wanting to happen. This was an email sent by Cassie to Diddy, which Estevo made Cassie read out loud to the court.

She asked Cassie if it's, quote, fair to say that Diddy's career was ruined after she sued him in November of 2023. And of course, when that happened, it made the whole concept of freak-offs public for the first time. Estevo also repeated Cassie's claim that she was afraid Diddy would release tapes of the freak-offs. Cassie said that this was part of why she felt she couldn't say no to the star.

Yeah, Hermione, we know that Cassie was just 19 when she signed a 10-album deal with Diddy's record label, Bad Boy Records, and that was in January of 2006. She said at first their relationship was platonic, but around 18 months later, in August of 2007, Diddy kissed her for the first time.

“I Can’t Carry the Shame”

She said that was during a trip to the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas, where she'd gone on to celebrate her 21st birthday. She said Diddy threw her a party, and then she name-dropped Britney Spears and said that Britney was there. Emily Johnson, who's the lead prosecutor on the case, asked her about this, and their words have been voiced by actors.

Cassie broke down in tears as she told the court how Diddy introduced her to freak-offs when she was just 22 years old. She said she was nervous and confused when he asked her to take part, but she said she was in love with him and she was young. And remember, he was 39 at the time when all this was happening.
