The prosecution is going to bring more witnesses to try to make their case for a RICO so Cassie's a small piece in the context of a RICO but a major piece since she's an important witness.

This is what the Fed's case on why they're saying it's a RICO and what they're trying to prove:

"From at least 2008 through the present, COMBS led a criminal enterprise that existed to facilitate his abuse and exploitation of women, to protect his reputation, and to conceal his conduct.

As part of that criminal enterprise, COMBS, along with other members and associates of the enterprise, committed crimes including s***trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.

Among other things, COMBS’ sexual abuse of women included causing them to engage in frequent, days-long sexual activity with male commercial s***workers, some of whom were transported over state lines."

Why can’t it be jealousy?

jumping out the car ??? this nigga is a psychopath

They’re not forcing her. She said she’s talking about this bc she can’t carry the pain anymore and that in 2023 she tried to kill herself but her husband stopped her

If they can prove s***trafficking

Then they can prove forced sexual labor, kidnapping, arson, etc

And he couldn’t have gotten away with all of this alone

That is the criminal enterprise piece that allows for Rico

because she wanted to leave him and that’s what promoted the anger

if he wants to act psycho bc she broke up with him thats not jealousy ?

If he suspects she wants to leave because she found someone else that would make sense as to why he looked through her phone, thus jealousy?

Cassie herself called him extremely jealous

That’s his own problem. You’re allowed to break up with someone at any time and that doesn’t give them the right to be violent towards you, to violate your privacy or to threaten you

We are back

2:38 pm
Judge Subramanian: OK, let's get Ms. Ventura back, and the jury
[Jury enters]
Combs' Estevao: Your affair with Mr. Mescudi was only a month long but you got a burner phone for it?
Ventura: Right.
Estevao: Mr. Combs' kicked you in the back?
Ventura: Yes

Combs' Estevao: This came up later in your relationship, that you had cheated on him with Kid Cudi?
Ventura: He brought it up quite a bit.
Estevao: When he cheated, he said, Well you had an affair with Kid Cudi, right?
Ventura: Sometimes.

Combs' Estevao: He suspected you of having an affair with another person in the industry - you were in South Africa filming?
Ventura: Yes, Honey 3 (laughs)
Estevao: While you were there you saw a photo of Mr. Combs with Gina and were irate, right?
Ventura: Angry

You’re going long on this for no reason I don’t disagree with you

I’m just alluding to the fact that he’s went through her phone multiple times and was obviously incredibly jealous. That’s all.

I’m not saying he had a right to be jealous, or possessive. Just that he obv was

Combs' Estevao: You blocked him and focused on the movie, right?
Ventura: I tried my best.
Estevao: Mr. Combs suspected you of a relationship with whom?
Ventura: Michael B. Jordan

Combs' Estevao: You sent a video not only to Mr. Combs but also to staff - who? D-Roc?
Ventura: Yes.
Estevao: You sent it to them because you were angry with all of them?
Ventura: I was hurt. I spent all my time with them.
Estevao: You thought they were in on it

Combs' Estevao: The physical abuse, when did your father learn about it?
Ventura: Same time as my mother.
Estevao: Did Mr. Combs come to Connecticut to speak to your parents?
Ventura: I don't know if it was then.
Estevao: Kerry Morgan knew about the abuse?
Yes.

Combs' Estevao: The eyebrow gash incident, what was it about?
Ventura: Didn't answer the phone and went to sleep, I was supposed to be packing for a trip.
Estevao: He was inebriated?
Ventura: I don't remember that.

Yeah but you’re equating all his violence to jealousy when he beat her to keep her in line

There have been several instances where he beat her to the point of needing urgent medical attention that have nothing do with jealousy

You’re lowkey trying to blame her for his behavior

More context and details:

Cassie testified that in 2015, she broke off her relationship with Combs for a time while she was in South Africa filming a movie.

She said she broke it off with Diddy by sending a video of him with another woman at an event to a text chain with Combs and some of his closest staff. Ventura said she felt betrayed by them for not telling her.

Cassie said she also blocked Combs’ phone number for a time while she was filming.

You are insinuating a lot

All I said was that Diddy was jealous

Humans are complex beings there’s never one singular reason for a human’s behavior.

How do you get me blaming her for his behavior when all I said was that Diddy was jealous?

If anything I’m saying HIS behavior is the issue because a man being jealous is not an excuse for beating your woman.

I’m simply saying like Cassie said, that he was jealous.

Combs' Estevao: Why were you asleep?
Ventura: A drink at the Abbey had something in it, I think
Estevao: Did Mr. Combs ever abuse you while he was inebriated, then say he didn't remember it?
Ventura: Yes.
Estevao: Did you feel he was not taking responsibility?

Ventura: Yes.
Combs' Estevao: For d****, you'd both go to rehab?
Ventura: Rehab wasn't really a thing during our relationship.
Estevoa: The freak offs were an opportunity for you to take d**** together?
Ventura: Yes.
Estevao: You went a lot to Burning Man?
Ventura: Yes.

They’re trying to paint her as a toxic jealous ex and him as a d*** addict not in the right state of mind.

It’s clear he was abusive to her but the RICO stuff and how deep this went is where the verdict will depend on I think

please don’t do that. It’s obvious you’re trying to twist it on to her

you —>

This is kind of insane ngl

Prosecution is basically saying ignore all of her messaging.

Ignore her saying how she loved Sean and wanted kids by him and marriage

ignore me saying how h**** I am and how badly I wanted these freak offs

ignore all of that s***. I was only saying those things because I was afraid.

That's crazy bruh
