More context and details on the people go missing:
Prosecutors and Sean “Diddy” Combs’ defense attorneys are now having a discussion about former Danity Kane singer Dawn Richard’s testimony.
Earlier, Judge Arun Subramanian indicated they would sidebar over a defense objection to Richard’s description of threats Combs made.
Just before the judge dismissed the jury for the day, Richard, who worked for Combs in the mid-2000s, testified that after she and another woman saw Combs attack Cassie Ventura, he encouraged them not to say anything about the assault.
The next day, Combs asked Richard and the other woman, Kalenna Harper, to come to his home.
He brought them into a recording studio, locked the door, and told them that what they witnessed was “passion” and what lovers do, Richard testified.
Combs told them “it was in our best interest if we didn’t say anything” and that “where he comes from people go missing if they talk,” Richard testified.
He then gave them flowers, she said.

Imagine a billionaire telling you 'aye you didn't see what you think you saw' and 'if you say something that's how people come up missing'
I genuinely would be tripping balls bruh
Diddy is a demon. On Epstein level.
What’s crazy is that we are just scraping the surface so far.

He obviously has bodies and I'm not joking.
The J. Cole incident in LA was just so crazy.
Someone who gets that angry and violent, who happens to also be a billionaire is beyond dangerous to society
I also think, to a degree, the callousness of the discussing of the DV in this case has been so bizarre. Like obviously the FO's are the pivot point for this case, but someone that powerful and wealthy who is violent towards his sexual partners (and people in general) could absolutely cross that line and black out and kill.
Judge: About this line of testimony-
AUSA Comey: This shows consciousness of guilt for Count 1. And relevant to Count 1.
Agnifilo: It's not s***trafficking - it's domestic violence.
Judge: Why didn't you bring a motion in limine on this?
Agnifilo: I didn't know
Combs' Agnifilo: We cannot sit here and say Ms. Ventura did anything because of this event, because she didn't talk about this one. So this is rank speculation
Judge: But she was there.
Agnifilo: She doesn't know the effect on Cassie Ventura.
Note:
Prosecutor Maurene Comey said Kerry Morgan, Cassie Ventura’s former best friend, will be the next witness after Dawn Richard finishes testifying.
Ventura’s mom is also among the witnesses expected to to testify early next week, she said.
Statement from Cassie via attorney
In her statement, Cassie says ... "I hope that my testimony has given strength and a voice to other survivors, and can help others who have suffered to speak up and also heal from abuse and fear."
She continues ... "For me, the more I heal, the more I can remember. And the more I can remember, the more I will never forget."
Cassie thanked her family and advocates for their unwavering support and said she was grateful for all the kindness and encouragement she received
She added she's "glad to put this chapter of my life to rest as I turn to focus on the conclusion of my pregnancy."
No way he's walking
He's looking for a pardon from Trump if he's found guilty
“He’s willing to do anything to get out of jail,” a source tells Rolling Stone. “
He’s always been this way. He’s always going to do what he has to do to get out of a situation...He doesn’t even like Donald Trump.

Need Diddy to bring down all the other evil people in the industry with him in order to get out. Bruh just go on a snitching spree
Alex isn’t going anywhere
“They were kind enough to provide help and support to my mama and I’m giving back by running an Ultra Marathon (50 miles) in honor to raise awareness for Domestic Violence Victims. I named the charity run ‘Almost Home’ because it highlights the promise that the women and children are almost home to a loving and safe environment”
And he’s been through a trial before
In a blog post on his website Almost Home the next year, he revealed it was in support of his mother, who was a victim of “domestic abuse and violence,” and his way of processing his “anger” after watching her be forced to “relive the memories” of her trauma amid a three-year trial
That nigga better than me that’s too much for me to stomach no lie
Need Diddy to bring down all the other evil people in the industry with him in order to get out. Bruh just go on a snitching spree
Would he even be credible at this point
honestly, with how quickly it seemed like she went & had a family after diddy, I thought she met someone completely divorced from the industry & just compartmentalized this part of her life away
Estevao: DX 1015 - Mr. Combs' wrote, Want to freak off one last time - what did you write?
Ventura: I don't want it to be the last time, I want freak off for the first time
Estevao: No further questions.
Judge: Re-direct?
Finally got the context for this.
Defense showed this text message from September 2012 of Cassie saying this.
They made it seem like this was one of the last things she said to Diddy.

https://twitter.com/conlin_lauren/status/1923493744910672059I think the point of the defense of this was to show that even as early as 2012 she had, and displayed agency over her decision to leave / stay.
Pretty weak at doing so though, IMO.
Note:
Judge Arun Subramanian has heeded concerns from the prosecution about disclosing the order of their witnesses too far in advance, saying he will not compel the attorneys to release their full lineup for next week.
Prosecutor Maurene Comey had told Subramanian the prosecution is concerned about potential witness tampering or obstruction.
The defense had argued they could better prepare exhibits for cross-examination if they knew the witness order ahead of time, but Subramanian ultimately sided with the prosecution’s concerns.
Would he even be credible at this point
As much evidence he kept on Cassie, he prolly got evidence, verifiable knowledge on stuff going on that could be easily proven/disproven
May 16 Summary:
The defense continued cross examining Cassie.
Then there was a short redirect from the prosecution that emphasized Diddy's control and coercion.
Dawn Richard (a former member of Danity Kane and Dirty Money) and a special agent was called to the stand.
Jury heard a recording of Cassie threatening a man in March 2014 after he said he’d seen a sexually explicit video of her. Ventura feared it had been secretly recorded during a “Freak Off.”
In messages from March and May 2019 after they broke up,
Combs texted Ventura in part “sending you love” and told her she was going to “make a beautiful mother.”
In later messages, Combs told her that things had “definitely been rough without your friendship” and he has “nothing but love for you always.”
The defense asked if she canceled her tour around that time because she found out she was going to get the $20 million civil suit settlement. “That wasn’t the reason why,” Cassie responded.
the defense mentioned Cassie reaching $10 million settlement from hotel where Diddy beat her.
A special agent was who handled logistics for Combs' 2024 arrest testified she found cash, ketamine, MDA, baby oil and signs of a woman (indicating a possible freakoff) after he was arrested.
Dawn Richard testified she saw Diddy beat Cassie after she failed to give him food and had her in a fetal position.
Dawn Richard said she was scared after seeing Cassie's beating and was afraid so she didn't say anything.
Dawn Richards said Diddy told ther “it was in our best interest if we didn’t say anything” and that “where he comes from people go missing if they talk,”.
Statement from her husband via attorney
Alex says ... "The world has gotten to witness the strength and bravery of my wife, freeing herself of her past. There has been speculation online surrounding how it must feel for me to sit there and listen to my wife's testimony."
He continues ... "I have felt so many things sitting there. I have felt tremendous pride and overwhelming love for Cass. I have felt profound anger that she has been subjected to sitting in front of a person who tried to break her."
Alex had a message for Diddy ... "So, to him and all of those who helped him along the way, please know this: You did not. You did not break her spirit nor her smile that lights up every room. You did not break the soul of a mother who gives the best hugs and plays the silliest games with our little girls. You did not break the woman who has made me a better man."
He adds ... "I did not save Cassie, as some have said. To say that is an insult to the years of painful work my wife has done to save herself. Cassie saved Cassie. She alone broke free from abuse, coercion, violence and threats. She did the work of fighting the demons that only a demon himself could have done to her. All I have done is love her as she has loved me."
Alex concludes ... "Her life is now surrounded by love, laughter and our family. This horrific chapter is forever put behind us, and we will not be making additional statements. We appreciate all of the love and support we have received, and we ask that you respect our privacy as we welcome our son into a world that is now safer because of his mom."
damn. good man
Diddy is a demon. On Epstein level.
What’s crazy is that we are just scraping the surface so far.
I mean yeah he’s a demon but he’s nothing close to Epstein lmao do you even know what all that dude was on
I mean yeah he’s a demon but he’s nothing close to Epstein lmao do you even know what all that dude was on
“He’s a demon but his behaviour is not as bad as Epstein”
Bro was out here making people disappear, setting cars on fire, acting above the law, forcing his girlfriend to engage in freak offs, raping and blackmailing women, rubbing semen on his nipples, engaging in physical abuse and making the evidence go away.
And this is what we know just after 2 days in court. Now imagine if this s*** drags on for weeks and months.
If Diddy was that h****, why not just enter the industry?
