80.56 - 85.484 Unknown Speaker

The biggest secret in the entertainment industry that really wasn't a secret at all.

86.204 - 89.587 Unknown Speaker

At the height of his career, Sean Diddy Combs had it all.

90.107 - 99.114 Germania Rodriguez-Poleo

Everything Diddy touched turned to gold. Now he faces multiple federal charges in New York, including sex trafficking and allegedly running a criminal enterprise.

100.376 - 103.717 Mitzi Steiner

Another woman has now come forward, alleging Combs of sexual assault.

Chapter 2: Who is Dawn Richard and what did she witness?

1089.909 - 1105.776 Germania Rodriguez-Poleo

Westmoreland took her back to the first time she allegedly saw Diddy attack Cassie in 2009. She pointed out that when she was interviewed by prosecutors, Ms. Richard told them Diddy had hit Cassie with the frying pan and later that he threw eggs at her and did not strike her with the pan.

1106.377 - 1126.713 Kerry Morgan

But Richard claimed she'd simply, quote, done her best to remember. She said she tried to, quote, erase the memories from back then because it was a bad time for her. She said the environment was volatile and hard to work in, but she denied that she told multiple different stories about what happened. Here's the spiky exchange between the two, which starts with Westmoreland.

1127.234 - 1137.002 Nicole Westmoreland

Would you agree with me that it's been hard for you to keep your story the same in reference to this egg incident? No, I wouldn't agree with that. You would agree that you told multiple different stories, though?

0

1137.422 - 1141.746 Dawn Richard

No, I would agree that I told it to the best of my recollection, and it was as close as I could give it.

0

1142.315 - 1148.959 Nicole Westmoreland

To the best of your recollection, you have about four different recollections on what may have happened that day. No, I don't.

1149.78 - 1162.068 Germania Rodriguez-Poleo

Westmoreland also pointed out that she was interviewed by prosecutors three times, and at no interview had she mentioned that Diddy had made a death threat towards her to stay quiet. Ms. Richard claimed notes of the interviews must be wrong.

1162.588 - 1166.271 Nicole Westmoreland

You didn't tell the federal government that Mr. Combs told you people go missing?

1166.69 - 1169.131 Dawn Richard

I told them exactly what my recollection of that event was.

1169.831 - 1177.352 Nicole Westmoreland

So your recollection that day was that Mr. Combs didn't threaten you by telling you that people go missing? He threatened me and said people go missing.

Chapter 3: What did Cassie's mother testify about Diddy?

1834.846 - 1837.028 Unknown Speaker

1838.369 - 1840.411 Unknown Speaker

1845.435 - 1845.815 Unknown Speaker

Yes.

1846.556 - 1853.277 Unknown Speaker

And still attending board meetings, right? To my knowledge, yes. And still traveling all over the country and the world, right?
