Reporting from court
I caught up with Diddy’s spokeswoman, Holly Baird, before heading inside the courthouse for the defence’s cross examination of Cassie.
She tells me the defence plans to spend at least two days on cross and will look to fill in some gaps and questions they feel jurors and others might have.
She says they’ll question Cassie on why she stayed with him, and if there was love in the relationship.
They’ll also try to put the text messages between the two of them in context, she says, in order to show his point of view and what he says was going on in real time.
Remember, the defence has admitted that there was domestic violence, but Diddy denies the racketeering and sex-trafficking charges against him.
Baird also shared that the trial and the entire situation has been difficult for the Combs family.
I asked if Diddy’s kids’ confidence in him has been shaken at all by Cassie’s distressing testimony.
She insisted that they are still sticking together and want to protect their dad.
