Cassie‘s testimony in Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial continued on Wednesday, with her husband Alex Fine in attendance—not only to support her, but also reportedly to glare intensely at the disgraced hip-hop mogul.
According to an Instagram video posted by CBS News national correspondent Jericka Duncan, Fine “glared” at Combs and his family on occasion while Cassie was on the witness stand. The glares were reportedly strong when Cassie identified 13 men whom Diddy allegedly forced her to have sex with.
“I can only imagine how painful it must be to sit there, and listen to that testimony regarding your wife, and the number of people that she says she had sex with because of these ‘freak-offs,'” Duncan, who was sitting behind Fine during Cassie’s testimony, said.
Cassie testified she repeatedly contracted “very” painful urinary tract infections as a result of these “freak-offs,” and suffered from “sores” in her mouth from frequently performing oral sex. The singer claimed she would take opiates to “feel numb.”
Prior to the start of the trial, prosecutors claimed Combs made male escorts urinate in Cassie’s mouth.
After two days of testimony, Cassie explained she took the stand because she wanted to “do the right thing.”
“I can’t carry this anymore,” she said. “I can’t carry the shame, the guilt. I was guided to treat people like they were disposable.”
“What’s right is right, what’s wrong is wrong,” she continued. “I’m here to do the right thing.”
