So, Hermania, when we recorded Friday's episode last week, Cassie was still being cross-examined by Diddy's lawyer, Anna Estevo. Her testimony was really emotional, and there were several key features that we thought it was worth bringing to you in case you haven't caught up with everything in the news reports.

But Cassie insisted her messages were just words by that point. She claimed that by that stage, she was only really interested in sex with Diddy, not the male escorts as well. She said the roleplay text was simply her trying to rekindle their romance because they were spending so much time with escorts.

Cassie admitted Diddy overdosed on painkillers at the Playboy Mansion and had to go to the hospital in February 2012, around the same time that Whitney Houston died. She said they were both always trying to come off opiates and they even flew to Cancun together to take a plant medicine band in the U.S. to help them. but they inevitably relapsed soon after returning.

Estable also spent time highlighting to the jury how the couple's relationship was blighted by suspicions of infidelity and jealousy from the beginning. She showed the court an email Cassie sent just a few weeks into their relationship in October 2007.

In it, she said she had fallen hard for him, but also outlined her insecurities and suggested Carey Morgan was, quote, a better fit for him than her. Here's an extract that was read to the court.

Correct. Around this time, the court heard Cassie also discover Diddy was conducting an affair with another woman called Gina Hyun. Although he repeatedly denied dating Gina, she said his infidelity led to arguments and caused them to break up and spend time apart. Estavo asked Cassie about how this infidelity made her feel.

Cassie said his refusal to end it with Gina was the final nail in the coffin for their relationship in August 2018. Here's an extract of a text she sent him saying as much around that time.

Thank you, Hermania. Thanks for having me.

That's right. So we started off with the government picking up with the instances where she said she saw Diddy hitting Cassie. She talked about how she told Cassie that she should leave, but she wouldn't listen. She could see the fear from Cassie. And she said eventually she made the decision for herself not to interfere.

After the government kind of went through asking a few more questions, then we got to the cross-examination from the defense. And I thought this was actually some of the perhaps strongest and toughest cross-examination we've seen so far.
