Allegations from federal prosecutors claim that Combs exploited his position as a prominent music executive and businessperson to coercively involve Cassie and other women in these encounters with sex workers, referred to as “freak-offs.”
In 2023, Cassie took legal action against Combs, alleging years of physical and sexual mistreatment. The lawsuit was rapidly settled for $US20 million ($31.2 million) — a sum Cassie divulged for the first time on Wednesday — but numerous comparable legal complaints emerged from other women.
Estevao inquired whether it was “reasonable to assume” that Combs’ reputation suffered irreparable damage after she filed a lawsuit, unveiling the notion of “freak-offs.” Cassie replied, “I can see how that might be the case.”
Combs, 55, has been jailed since September. He faces at least 15 years in prison if convicted.
