Diddy’s Former Stylist Reveals Cassie’s Nicknames During Testimony

Diddy‘s sex trafficking trial has focused a lot on his alleged physical abuse of Cassie, beyond the traumatic video shared from their stay at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016. His former stylist revealed that he had several nicknames for her that were degrading as well.

Deonte Nash testified in court this week, claiming that the controversial mogul would call his ex-girlfriend “baby girl, CC, bi**h, slut, h*,” according to People. Nash worked for Puff from 2008-2018, coincidentally the same period that he dated the “Me & U” artist, and specifically stated that “bi**h” was “his fave.” He added, “He would say, ‘She was nothing but a slut anyway.’”

Attorneys asked Nash how Cassie would respond to these harsh monikers, and he claimed that they made the 38-year-old singer “sad” or she would “go into a depression.” Nash additionally shared how the Bad Boy co-founder would manipulate his former partner by threatening to send out her sex tapes or “beat [her] a**,” which “drove her crazy” and made her “super emotional” to the point that “she might stay in the house for days.”

Deonte Nash’s testimony corroborates what Dawn Richard, a former Danity Kane member who is also suing Diddy for sexual assault, said in her testimony. She claimed that he “owned” Cassie and would regularly be violent toward her anytime she defended herself. “He would drag her and kick her and punch her in the mouth,” Richard said.

Cassie herself took the stand and spoke about her traumatic experiences in his “freak-offs,” namely having moments where men would urinate in her mouth to the point she would choke on it. She also claimed that he abused her when they took a trip to Drake’s OVO Fest in Toronto and lunged at her with a wine opener when he learned that she was dating Kid Cudi. Cudi, multiple sex workers, and former assistants also have taken the stand, adding more color to these situations, which all align with initial findings when the former REVOLT chairman’s homes were raided last year.
