- 0:29Emily Johnson uh describing Diddy
- 0:33Combmes inner circle, telling the jury
- 0:35how those those that are close to Diddy
- 0:37helped commit crime after crime. She
- 0:41says, "Together, the group worked to
- 0:42promote the defendant's power. They
- 0:45carefully cultivated and guarded his
- 0:47reputation. He called himself the king
- 0:49and expected to be treated like one. He
- 0:52expected his inner circle to cater to
- 0:54his every desire, including his sexual
- 0:57desire, and his inner circle made sure
- 1:00he got everything that he wanted. And
- 1:03Johnson, that's the lawyer, said
- 1:05resources from his businesses were used
- 1:07to smeually exploit multiple women,
- 1:10including by forcing them to have smecks
- 1:12with male escorts while he watched. Much
- 1:15of the prosecution's case will focus on
- 1:17two women, Cassie and another victim
- 1:20they call Jane, that will be you used
- 1:22during the trial. The defendants use
- 1:25lies, drugs, threats, and violence to
- 1:27force and coers first Cassie and then
- 1:30later Jane to have SMMEX with him in
- 1:33front of male escorts. The defendant
- 1:36insisted that smecks occur in a very
- 1:39specific, highly orchestrated way. These
- 1:42sexual performances lasted multiple days
- 1:45and they involved multiple escorts. The
- 1:49defendant called these encounters
- 1:51different things over the years,
- 1:52including freakoffs, wild uh wild king
- 1:55nights, and hotel nights. Cassie met
- 1:59Combmes in 2006 when she was 19. And
- 2:03then uh Cassie Ventur was 19 year old.
- 2:06She was a 19-year-old model, aspiring
- 2:08singer, and had a hit song when she met
- 2:11uh Diddy in 2006. He was 17 years old,
- 2:15older than her when they met. Within a
- 2:18year of signing Cassie with his label,
- 2:21they were dating. They dated off and on
- 2:24until
- 2:252018. The defendant starting abusing
- 2:28Cassie early on. Initially, Cassie
- 2:31fought back. Um, in
- 2:352009, Diddy threw her to the floor in a
- 2:38SUV and stomped repeatedly repeatedly on
- 2:42her face. To hide her injuries, Combmes
- 2:45forced Cassie to stay in a hotel for the
- 2:47next week. She goes on to say that the
- 2:50defense will portray the that Diddy's
- 2:53relationship with Cassie Ventura um as
- 2:56complicated. She says that the defense
- 2:58will portray that Diddy's relationship
- 3:00as being just complicated. and
- 3:03mischaracterized by the
- 3:05prosecution. Johnson told the jurors
- 3:07that they will hear that they were both
- 3:10unfaithful, jealous, and at times angry,
- 3:13but only one of them had power. Only one
- 3:16of them had control, the lawyer says,
- 3:19and that was the defendant. And with
- 3:22that power, and with that control, he
- 3:24made Cassie do his bidding in those dark
- 3:26hotel rooms. She goes on to say, "Biddy
- 3:30introduced Cassie Ventur to these
- 3:32freakoffs early in their relationship.
- 3:35Half of every week, Cassie was in a dark
- 3:38hotel room high and awake for days
- 3:41performing smacks acts she did not want
- 3:44to do on male escorts." In another
- 3:47freakoff, Cassie still had an open wound
- 3:50on her face from the defendant's most
- 3:52recent assault. Um, the lawyer goes on
- 3:55to say that Diddy beat Vento to show who
- 3:58was in charge. She says he beat her when
- 4:01she didn't answer the phone. He beat her
- 4:04when she left the freak off without her
- 4:06um without permission. He beat her when
- 4:09he thought she took too long from the
- 4:10bathroom. When Ventur tried to run away,
- 4:14Diddy always found her, often with the
- 4:16help of his so-called inner circle.
- 4:20She goes on to say, um, Diddy recorded
- 4:23the freak offs and used them as
- 4:25blackmail against Cassie. He told her he
- 4:28could destroy her career by releasing
- 4:29the videos of performing smeck smecks
- 4:33acts on dozens and dozens of male
- 4:36escorts. The um lawyer goes on to say
- 4:39that
- 4:39Diddy all uh he also smeually abused one
- 4:44of his employees. And as I was
- 4:46listening, guys, they kept calling this
- 4:47girl uh Mia, um his ex employee. She
- 4:53says Combmes forced her to perform or
- 4:57oral smecks and snuck into her bed to
- 5:01penetrate her against her will. The
- 5:04people in Diddy Combmes inner circle
- 5:06worked with him to cover up his crimes,
- 5:09including by keeping Cassie in hiding
- 5:12for days and contacting witnesses. She
- 5:15mentioned the video from the LA hotel
- 5:18showing Combmes assaulting Ventura. She
- 5:21says you'll hear just how far the
- 5:23defendant, his bodyguards, and his
- 5:25chiefs of staff went to get what they
- 5:28thought was the only copy of that video.
- 5:31Uh she said, adding that they offered a
- 5:34brown paper bag with $100,000 in cash in
- 5:37attempt to cover it up.
- 5:40Um, she also said that the racketeering
- 5:42conspiracy charge against Diddy Combmes
- 5:45covers his alleged plans carried out
- 5:48with his highlevel employees and
- 5:50bodyguards. She says together they
- 5:52agreed to commit different crimes,
- 5:54kidnapping, arson, distribute uh
- 5:57distributing drugs to other people,
- 5:59exploiting employees for labor. Cassie
- 6:02Ventora and Jane will tell you how they
- 6:05how the defendant tried to control their
- 6:07lives from their homes to their careers.
- 6:10How the defendant used his control over
- 6:13them, his lies, his drugs, his threats,
- 6:15and his violence to threat and coerc
- 6:18them into having smecks with male
- 6:21escorts. Um Johnson added that the jury
- 6:25will hear from Com's personal assistant
- 6:27who he smeurally assaulted.
- 6:30Uh Johnson goes on to tell the jurors
- 6:32they also hear from some of Diddy
- 6:35Combmes other employees including an
- 6:38employee Combmes allegedly forced into
- 6:40the SUV with a gun as well as one of the

- 6:47acknowledges that some victims and
- 6:49witnesses have received financial
- 6:51settlements or still have active laws l
