Cassie Testifies About Hotel Hallway Beating at Diddy Trial

The day's testimony began with Sean Combs' longtime ex-girlfriend detailing the bruises and black eye she says she was left with after a vicious beating from Combs that was caught on surveillance video at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.

The R&B singer Cassie testified Wednesday that her ex-boyfriend Sean “ Diddy ” Combs kept her in a cycle of abuse and exploitation by threatening to release videos of her encounters with male sex workers that he orchestrated. They were photographed in 2016 attending the premiere of the film “The Perfect Match,” only two days after Combs beat and kicked Cassie at a Los Angeles hotel after a freak-off — an attack captured on security camera footage played on TV and in court. Also Wednesday, prosecutors showed Cassie a binder of photos and she identified 13 as male sex workers she said she recruited at Combs’ behest for encounters in Las Vegas, Miami and Los Angeles.
