Diddy Trial Day 7: Cassie's mom testifies about physical abuse and a $20k sex tape

Welcome to Day 7.

If you’ve made it this far, then you know that we’ve been covering the Diddy case nonstop. I really wanna talk about some subtle changes that we’re seeing here in week 2 of trial compared to week 1. For one, Diddy’s kids are not in court. They missed two days in a row. After showing up every single day last week with the exception of jury selection. Pretty interesting.

Diddy’s lawyers are also really tightening up their strategy, sending back shots during cross-examination like they’re outside on da block. The most notable clapback was sent towards Dawn where they essentially discredited her accusation that Diddy beat her over the head with a skillet.

In other news, we’re gonna be covering the following in today’s recap:

• Diddy’s sex worker The Punisher speaks out

• Cassie’s mom takes the stand

• Diddy’s weird obsession with ketchup  

• The Kid Cudi situationship storyline thickens

• Spinning the block on Suge Knight at the local diner

Enters “The Punisher”

Sharay Hayes was a male exotic dancer hired by Diddy to stage a sex scene with Cassie. Apparently all it took was $800, some baby oil (surprise!) and some explicit instructions from Diddy to rub up on Cassie with some oil like her husband ain’t home. No seriously. 

Hayes, unofficially known as “The Punisher” (pause) said that Diddy requested Hayes to act like Diddy wasn’t there. Even though Diddy was absolutely there the entire time. Cue the invisible cuck kink. He was then expected to grease up Cassie like a little pig and foreplay while Diddy watched.

Cassie’s mom gives her account

If that wasn’t enough, Regina Ventura (Cassie’s mom) took to the stand to recount how she felt when Diddy blackmailed her by threatening to release Cassie’s sextape. Apparently, this was around the same time that Cassie and Kid Cudi started seeing each other, and Diddy was PISSED.

As a result he told Cassie’s mom to cough up $20k or else he would leak the tape.

Regina said:

What spoke volumes to me was the fact that that Diddy’s defense team did not cross examine Regina after her statements. Which is a big deal. Cus Diddy’s team cross examines everything! It makes you wonder if Diddy really did do all of this. FYI, not that it’s super important but apparently Cassie’s mom is just as calm and soft spoken as Cassie.

Which could have really added an element of relatability and sympathy being a mom in such a difficult situation. I mean based on the story, it’s essentially like your mom having to see a naked video of you doing unspeakable things with your ex significant other. How fuckin unhinged.

Speaking of ridiculousness, did you know that Diddy has a weird thing for ketchup. Apparently he needs his Heinz. So much so that when he was in the UK he specifically requested US Heinz because he didn’t like British Heinz. Not enough Red 40 I bet. Nothing like a lightheaded food coma after too many French fries.

Sidebar, apparently Kid Cudi is expected to testify this week. At least that’s the rumor so stay tuned for that. Lastly, Diddy apparently ran home to pick up 3 ARs after he unexpectedly ran into Suge Knight at a local diner. GRAAATATATATATA. 

Diddy allegedly saw Suge, literally demanded him and his entourage go home, picked up his favorite guns, and came back looking for Suge.

That’s right. When he’s not allegedly blackmailing, sexually coercing, or physically abusing others he’s basically warlording his way through your local diner. Just when you think you’ve seen it all.

Question of the day: Is this just the beginning of a bigger story? And do you think well learn more when Kid Cudi testifies?
