The trial has been marked by shocking testimonies, including those from male escorts who described disturbing interactions involving Combs, suggesting elements of coercion and drug use. However, the defense is leveraging Cassie’s own words against her, asserting that these messages indicate her willing participation in a lifestyle that included “swinging” and group 𝑠e𝑥ual encounters. In court, Cassie admitted to being in a tumultuous relationship with Combs, characterized by both affection and control, but the defense’s strategy hinges on portraying her as an active participant in their 𝑠e𝑥ual arrangement rather than a victim of exploitation.
