Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present · The Diddy Trial: Third Week of Testimony Resumes · 28 May 2025 podcast

Can you please help her?

That's a tough one.

That is just devastating to me. And to think about the picture they're painting of Diddy, you know, when you talk about kicking someone when they're not fighting back, when they're clearly in a position of protection, that you just keep going after them, that just, I can't even get my head around that. That reminds me of people who hurt animals.

When you start hurting the helpless, that's when it goes to a whole other level of cruelty.

That's what they say, right? You shouldn't kick a man when he's down. I just, just that visual and that description that she gave. And this, I don't know what, look, we talked about this plenty here. There's so many things in here for us to examine from the music industry, from the young people who are in it, to fame, to wealth, to power, to sex, to race. There's so much to examine in here.

But this is one, and I hope something we continue to learn about domestic violence and victims of domestic violence being a friend and a family member of folks who might be going through this stuff because these are two women who I believe loved this girl that really cared for Cassie. One is looking at her being kicked repeatedly and won't call police.

She calls the girl's mother, who no one I would argue on the planet loves Cassie more than her mom. And her mom didn't do anything. What in God's name are we doing? And I do not envy, I'm not criticizing the women for the position that they were in or they were put in. But what are we doing when that is happening?

yeah i think this could be hopefully a wake-up call for a deeper understanding of what actually goes on those dynamics the power of them and what compels people to freeze or fight you know it's it's or you know it's like they say when you're in certain situations that are stressful you have the flight or fight but there's a freeze as well and i see you see that happening a lot

When Capricorn was being cross-examined, there was one, and I think it was the final question, that Diddy's attorneys asked Capricorn, and this was fairly devastating. We talked about how much she bolstered Cassie's testimony and corroborated her testimony. This last question did the opposite. It certainly...

If anything, it could have planted a seed of doubt in terms of Cassie's willingness or unwillingness to be a part of everything.

Yeah, and I think, what, she was up there for three days, Cassie and her testimony, and they cross-examined her and their questions about where was she on that fence, right? How much of it was she... uh, there as a victim, how much of it was she an accomplice? Um, how much was she there willingly doing this stuff? And I think that they were trying to make a point here.

And I think they made a point to do this question last, but Cassie was asked, uh, excuse me, Capricorn was asked about a conversation she'd had with Cassie. And she had told, according to Capricorn, was trying to plead with Cassie, get out of this relationship with Diddy. Stop dating him, is the advice she was trying to give. And this, Robes, is what she said Cassie's response to that was.

Jay-Z is taken. Who would I date? That's hard to hear.

And that's the end of the... After all day, she's testified. That is the last thing that the jury heard. And I, when I saw it, I was rattled by it. And you start to consider or rethink or give a second thought to... Other things you thought maybe you already put to bed about this case. Like, oh, I thought one thing, but wait a minute.

Wow. Did she stay because... And she endured whatever she did willingly because she liked the fame. She liked the power. She liked the money. She liked the access. She liked that life. And so she put up with obvious abuse that we've heard... testified by so many people. I don't think that is in question whatsoever, but was she complicit because she liked the end result?

Even if the means by which she had to get those results were horrific and heinous, she chose to be in that world and to be in that position because she liked the way she was living.

That is what the jury now is considering. And they now only need one juror to buy into that enough. And the next thing you know, this is not the guilty verdict that the prosecution is after. And again, because this has been said in jest, well, she's just making a little joke. But it didn't seem to come off that way. And it certainly is not why they asked the question at the end of her testimony.

That testimony is going to continue. She's done, but she was the only one on the stand yesterday. Actually went a little past their usual three o'clock break time in the afternoon. But today, four more witnesses are expected. And I guess, what is it, two of them might have some more personal stories about it.

Right. So one, we'll hear from a Los Angeles Police Department officer and a Los Angeles Fire Department arson investigator. But the ones that I think we were just referencing that will be perhaps the most interesting will be Diddy's stylist, Deontay Nash. We're going to hear from... The stylist. And then this might be a big one.

The government did say it wanted to call another alleged victim of Diddy's. This one will be anonymous. They're giving her the moniker Mia as she takes the stand. Mia is a pseudonym. All we know is that she's one of Combs' former employees and that she wants and wishes to remain anonymous. We were told some of these women would be coming forward. but they would not be revealing their identities.
