And once again, Donaldson was trying to chip away at that narrative a bit, you know, pointing out that Combs, he ended up picking out one hairstyle for Cassie that made her, quote, iconic, known for that hairstyle so that it wasn't just about him controlling her, but it was because he had good judgment and good taste.

Yeah, he wanted them to be done with Nash by the end of the day. And that's why we all stayed longer. And then he got angry at Donaldson saying, did you know this already when we were discussing the timeline? And Donaldson claimed that, no, he's just realizing that it was going to take a long time to finish it.

There's been a lot of starting and stopping today. So it began this morning. They were supposed to start yesterday, but they decided in the end to push it to today.

establishing actually the the love in their relationship and the passion that was there they were trying to show that other side of things we've heard a lot about the abuse but today was kind of at least at the beginning was more focused on why they were together and why she fell in love with him and when they said to cassie things like you were in love with him right you were in love with him for 11 years how did she respond to those kind of questions she did not deny loving him there were these

positive things about a relationship. I stayed with him for, they were on and off for 11 years, but we got back together several times. There were times she pushed back, like the attorney said, you kept coming back to him. And she said, no, I wouldn't frame it like that. It wasn't coming back, but that they kept getting back together.
