Here’s What Diddy Reportedly Texted Cassie After The 2016 Assault
Inner City Press reporter Matthew Russell Lee was reportedly present in the courtroom during Diddy’s recent appeal hearing for bail. According to tweets shared by Lee, the hearing kicked off with U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson apparently making a case for why the 54-year-old should remain in police custody. Additionally, John began by sharing findings about Diddy’s “elaborate” freak offs.
Johnson reportedly explained that footage of the sexual encounters was used to blackmail victims. Additionally, the attorney reiterated that “six guns” were seized from Diddy’s residence, and the music mogul’s head of security has reportedly been served with a subpoena for his “role in the offense conduct.”
As the hearing continued, Johnson directed the court’s attention to Diddy’s 2016 assault on Cassie. The assault reportedly took place in March of that year in a hallway at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles, California.

According to Johnson, Diddy was engaged in a freak off before the assault. Cassie was reportedly present along with a “commercial sex worker.”
As seen in the surveillance footage, Johnson noted that Cassie left the room and Diddy “stormed out” in a towel as his assault on her unfolded.
Per Lee’s tweet, Johnson explained that afterward, Cassie informed Diddy she had “crazy bruising.”
AUSA: We have a message from the Victim, I still have crazy bruising. He claims he wanted to get his clothes back. But that's not what happened her. She tried to escape a room with the defendant and a commercial sex worker – she fled without shoes

In response, Diddy texted Cassie: “Call me, the cops are here. I got six kids. Yo, please call, I am surrounded. You gonna abandon me all alone.”
As the hearing continued, Johnson reportedly explained that Diddy only admitted his abuse toward Cassie after footage surfaced of the assault.
“Yesterday it was claimed that his clothes were taken – but that’s not what happened. Why drag the victim back down the hall to the room?” Johnson reportedly added.
Ultimately, Johnson reportedly alleged that Diddy could not be taken “at his word.” The attorney reportedly reiterated that the investigation into the 54-year-old remains ongoing and “half a dozen escorts is just the tip of the iceberg of the number of escorts who have participated in these freak-offs…”
AUSA: Our investigation is ongoing. Half a dozen escorts is just the tip of the iceberg of the number of escorts who have participated in these freak-offs. This case is charged a sex trafficking by force, fraud and coercion. The acts were not consensual.

Per Lee, in response, Diddy’s lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, reportedly alleged that Cassie and Diddy willingly and mutually “invited” third parties into their sexual relations. Additionally, the attorney alleged that workers participated if they felt like it rather than for payment.
Ultimately, Agnifilo alleged that Diddy should have the court’s trust to be released on bond. However, the judge asserted the 54-year-old to be a danger to the public.
Judge: I've heard from the parties, I find that the government have proven the defendant is a danger. Regarding the bail package, it is insufficient even on risk of flight.
