The discourse around this is so bad now
I swear men and ignorant women will look for ANY reason to smear a victim
See so many people calling cassie an accomplice
All the bird brained bbl baddies on my Twitter won’t shut up about Megan either

i don't get how the defense is helping diddy with these kind of questions
this doesn't make him look good

Gene gonna testify?

[Agnifilo shows Kerry Morgan photos then asks]
Combs' Agnifilo: Do you know if Louise Hayes is a self-help author, about self affirmation?
Morgan: Yes
Agnifilo: Why did you send him this, with words of encouragement?
Morgan: I don't remember sending it
Agnfilo: OK
Combs' Agnifilo: I want to show you a few more photos. But first let's talk about the incident when he put his hands on your neck. Were you & Cassie using any d**** at the time?
Kerry Morgan: No
Agnifilo: What did he say?
Morgan: He said, Who is she cheating with?
Diddy’s such a POS but POS’s get off all the time
That won’t be the case here
Week 2 im calling it. Guilty on all charges all counts.

This based on feelings or facts?

They’re trying to paint the picture (which came in the following questions) that Diddy’s violence was tied to Jealousy, I think and that Cassie created the jealous environment by ‘cheating’ and paid Kerry off.
But judging from these updates, it’s a pretty bad attempt
Combs' Agnifilo: You went to an Urgent Care and not the hospital?
Kerry Morgan: Right.
Agnifilo: But you don't the prosecutors it was bloody and you went to the hospital?
Morgan: I don't remember that.
Agnifilo: Look at this [3500 material, not shown to jury]
This based on feelings or facts?
Both
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?
