I have strong feelings regarding men beating women ngl
But even if I table that, the physical violence on display was so great, so abhorrent and so frequent, that it seems impossible to suggest otherwise if Cassie (and the other victim) accuse Diddy of coercing or forcing them into FO’s.
Especially when you factor in the age and power dynamic.
Like…how do you acknowledge that he beat the s*** out of her, controlled all her finances, signed her to his record label for 10 f***in albums, beat the s*** out of her bestfriend AND another victim…but in good faith say they were just happy willing participants to FO’s?
and also the mention of "where im from, people disappear" line he said at the BBQ

More context and details:
David James, a former assistant to Sean Diddy, asked, “How long do we have,” when he was asked to describe his role working as an assistant for Diddy.
James said he was with Diddy every day he was working and traveled around the world with him.
James said his job was to make sure Diddy “was able to operate as a chairman of company” and to “get every environment comfortable.”
James said he sometimes worked three weeks straight without a day off.
As Diddy hired more personal staff he could work five-day weeks, James said.
James said he would arrive at Diddy’ house before he woke up and coordinate with the chef to make sure breakfast was getting started.
He would compile documents for Diddy, including business decisions he needed to approve, his daily schedule and news stories about Diddy.
After Diddy woke up and ate breakfast, they would go to the studio and then back to Diddy's house or another destination, James testified.

Yea but guilty on all charges, means you think he's s***trafficking mainly, on some Taken s***. From the way his lawyers frame it, if he's guilty of that, Cassie (who is not currently on trial) is being framed as the #2 organizer of the freak offs.
