I've been in the courtroom for the Diddy trial throughout the week.
00:03
Here are the big takeaways from week one.
00:04
Federal prosecutors are accusing Diddy of sex trafficking and racketeering.
00:08
Inside the courtroom, it's pretty somber.
00:10
I think the real gravity of the charges, the nature of the allegations have been sinking in.
00:14
So one of the big moments in the trial is when we saw the famous hallway video
00:19
where Diddy drags Cassie down the hallway, kicks her, beats her.
00:22
And we did hear testimony from a security guard at the hotel who intervened after that moment
00:28
and who was watching what was happening on the security monitor.
00:31
A big moment in the trial came when Cassie was being cross-examined by Diddy's lawyer
00:36
about her relationship with Kid Cudi.
00:38
She says that this relationship was brief.
00:40
It started when she and Diddy wanted a break in their relationship.
00:42
And she said that when Diddy found out, he was furious.
00:45
He beat her.
00:46
He threatened to blow up Kid Cudi's car.
00:48
And later in 2012, Kid Cudi's car did blow up.
00:51
I think that Cassie's testimony is one of the things that,
00:54
unless you're really there looking at her like the jury is and like I am,
00:57
it's hard to really understand the impact of it.
00:59
She is eight months pregnant.
01:01
She, very clearly from her demeanor, would rather be anywhere else
01:04
than testifying in front of this group of strangers about these awful moments in her life.
01:08
Cassie talked about her long relationship with Diddy.
01:11
It started when she was a young up-and-coming artist and signed with his record label.
01:15
And then about six months into their relationship,
01:17
he introduced her to this idea of freak-offs,
01:20
which is when she would have sex with another man and he would watch.
01:23
We'll end a lot more detail about what happened during these freak-offs,
01:26
but the details are so graphic that I'm not so comfortable talking about them.
01:29
Safe to say that they lasted days on end and she did not want to be there.
01:33
The whole argument from Diddy is that they were in this mutually abusive relationship,
01:37
they both cheated on each other,
01:39
and so it's to make her look like this is complicated and, you know, she had her flaws also.
01:44
We did learn at the trial how much Diddy paid Cassie to settle her civil lawsuit against him,
01:49
and it's 20 million dollars.
01:51
Of course, he still has criminal charges and he is on trial for them.
01:54
If he is convicted on all charges, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.
01:58
