She said she saw Cassie's black eye after the infamous Intercontinental Hotel attack in March 2016 and also noticed her with other random bruises from time to time. In fact, she said it took a year for her to meet Diddy because she wasn't sure she liked the way he treated her friend.

Yeah, she went on to say that she and Cassie did a lot of drugs together, including marijuana. They took ketamine and cocaine every single week. She said that on at least three or four occasions, Diddy was the one to give them drugs. But this is a good time to mention that before beginning her testimony, Bogolin asked for immunity.

And this has happened pretty often in this case where we've seen several witnesses ask for immunity, which basically stops them from being arrested for anything that they say on the stand. We saw it with Eddie Garcia, the security guard from the Intercontinental, who accepted a $100,000 bribe from Diddy to get rid of the surveillance tapes.

But Bongolin has asked for immunity because her testimony involves a lot of talk of buying and selling and using drugs. She admitted that she bought drugs for herself and Cassie to take. And also one time she bought cocaine for Diddy. But she also admitted that at times she sold drugs to Cassie and to other people.

And during her testimony at this time, she actually started laughing while she described how she and Cassie would try to do other things like cooking together to make them stop taking drugs. But each time they went back to their habits, she said they both, quote, wanted to do better. But it was, quote, hard to get sober if there's a lot of drugs around.

So that was Bongolin's direct questioning. But then it was the turn of Diddy's defense lawyer, Nicole Westmoreland, to cross-examine her. And Diddy's lawyer came in pretty hot. She started by asking her about her drug use and a favorite method she and Cassie used, which is known as Cocoa Puff. And here their words have been voiced by actors.

Yes. Bongolin said that she never took pills with Cassie, but she knew that she took them. And on one occasion, she bought hundreds of them for her friend. She said they were both regular weekly drug users, but she denied doing them every day.

Westmoreland really went for Bongolin's credibility here, and she started asking her about inconsistencies between what she said in the lawsuit, what she later told the government, and what she more recently testified to the jury. Westmoreland said that Bongolin had told the government that the incident where Diddy threatened to kill her was

took place at a party and not on the beach during a photo shoot in Miami as she had testified. But Bongolin said that she didn't recall. The lawyer also claimed Bongolin told government investigators that she'd been smoking a cigarette before the balcony incident and hadn't been asleep when Diddy arrived at Cassie's apartment, in direct contradiction to what she'd said to the jury.
