Yeah, I'm not sure I've ever seen a case actually where in the opening the defense asks the defendant to stand up and look at the jury. And so you had Sean Combs in a gray sweater with a white top under it, his hair, you know, visibly grayer than we remember him in his, you know, bad boy days, stands up and looks to the jury and
Essentially, what the defense is trying to say is we're not going to shy away from anything that he has done. They admit to domestic violence. They admit to the fact that he was a jealous boyfriend, that he was with many women at once, that he committed infidelity. But what they say, essentially, is that none of that is sex trafficking.
So there were terms and phrases they used often, painting the alleged victims as strong, capable women that had a choice, that this was the choice they made to stay with him. And then when they decided to leave him, that was their choice as well, saying that they're not going to shy away from the fact that there was jealousy in the relationships.
But they say there was no coercion, that it was all consensual. So, again, trying to basically say to the jury he's a flawed man, and that's not a crime. If domestic abuse was what was charged here, that would be one thing. But what he's being charged with is sex trafficking and RICO charges, and they say the evidence just will not prove that.
Yeah, they said, look, we know he's a fan of baby oil, even in a flippant way. And the reason they brought that up is because they said the press has painted this in a completely different light than the reality. So they wanted to kind of in a way, almost make light of what the jurors have heard in the press before.
So, you know, they say, look, it's important to remember that, yeah, he's a fan of baby oil. There's no crime there. Yeah, the way he likes to have these sexual encounters might not be to your taste. It might even make you uncomfortable. But look, there's nothing illegal about that. And yes, these were toxic relationships.
You're going to see and hear voice notes and text messages with him and these women. Again, you might think he's a jerk, they said. You might think he's a mean guy. So again, trying to paint him as a flawed individual, but not someone who should be held criminally accountable.
Yeah, so they're saying essentially that the press hasn't put out the whole story, that this was a toxic, dysfunctional relationship, and almost putting the blame a little bit on Cassie. They're saying what you didn't get out of that video was that when he was running after her, what he was after was his phone.
and that Cassie had stolen his phone from him, and that once he got it, he kind of sat down and put his head in his hands and kind of realized what he had done. And they're saying that, to them, is evidence that this isn't about sex trafficking, that he didn't grab her and try to bring her back to the hotel room because of sex trafficking, that it was about him wanting his phone.
So, again, painting this as a domestic violence incident and saying that all of it was because of the jealousy in the relationships, saying, that him and Cassie that day had a fight about kind of seeing, you know, stuff in the press she didn't like, and it was all about jealousy. And again, that this was a situation where it was a personal dispute between two people.
Prosecutors aren't wasting any time getting to some really impactful witnesses. And this was Daniel Phillip. He worked in the adult industry and said he met Cassie in 2012 when his boss told him that he got a request to have somebody go dance at a bachelorette party. And he couldn't find anybody else, so Daniel agreed.
What Daniel didn't expect when he arrived was that the job would be quite different. He didn't realize he was meeting Cassie at the time. She answered the door at the Gramercy Hotel, where he was instructed to go, in red lingerie, a red wig, big glasses and heels. And she asked him if he would be up for having a little fun with someone she described as her husband.
She said that he wanted to do something special for her, that he wanted to have Daniel rub his wife in baby oil and just see where the night went. He says when he went into the room, he saw the husband. Again, he didn't know at the time it was Sean Combs in a corner with a baseball cap and a bandana kind of covering the lower half of his face.
And he said that within minutes of kind of rubbing baby oil on Cassie, they had sex. And he said that in the corner was this man ejaculating while watching them have sex. He said he left quickly after that. But then he said Cassie got in touch with him, asked him for certain explicit photos, and asked if he would be open to doing it again after handing him a lot of money.
Now, he said after that, he went back. And this happened a few times over the course of several years. He said this went on until about late 2013, early 2014. I should just first note that he's asked when was the first time he knew it was Diddy. And he said, actually, the first time he opened his mouth. He says he was very aware of Diddy from all of his music, all of his kind of press interviews.
And so he was aware. But the time where he could really for sure say it was Diddy was when Cassie told him that actually we're switching locations. Come meet us at this different hotel in half an hour. He says when he arrived, Diddy actually answered the door fully clothed in a suit and a peacoat, no mask. And so that's when he knew it was Diddy.
And he said from that point on, Diddy didn't wear the bandana or try to hide his identity after that.
You know, Diddy would sometimes say, you're not using enough baby oil, use more baby oil, go slower, or tell him... don't come yet, but there were times where he said the requests were slightly odder than even that. He said that one time Cassie was the one who asked him to urinate on her and that Diddy and her instructed him on how to do it. So that was kind of one of the more graphic details.
But then as testimony went on, you also saw the prosecution trying to get into why he stopped engaging with them. And that was quite telling.
Yeah, that's right. He said that once he saw Diddy beat Cassie, he could no longer you know, perform and be engaged. Because before, he said, even if they hadn't paid him, he was excited to be part of their world. He was enjoying that kind of activity with them.
