BONUS* DAWN RICHARDS SHAKEY TESTIMONY🥴 + CASSIES EX BESTFRIEND FINALLY SPEAKS OUT | Diddy Trial Updates

essentially did the same thing. She remembered the very high level points. She remembers certain things, but because of the time period and how long ago this stuff was, she would say that was so long ago, I don't remember, and the defense didn't lean in on it, Like the defense didn't even acknowledge the fact that she was saying the same thing Dawn was saying about not being able

to remember it. But they did everything that they could do to basically, like when Dorn was on the stand, they dragged baby Girl for not being able to remember certain dates right. But when Carrie Morgan got on the stand and they thought that this was going to prove a lot of the points they wanted to prove, they let her ride. So let's just talk about what happened briefly to break it down for you. First witness up Dormshard and Dawn's testimony was really heavily predicated on her

civil lawsuit that she filed. So Dawn talks a lot about witnessing an incident with Cassie or a couple incidents, but the first one that she went into and that they spent a lot of.

the bathroom doing her makeup, getting ready to go. Cassie comes in and Cassie's like quiet, but she's obviously upset. She's crying and she's trying to fix her makeup. Her face is swelling. She ends up having to wear glasses to the event that they went to. They get to this event, they're there they make it through if they wear glasses. She's asked about, you know, would she ever say anything in any of these instances, and she says,

you know, she would say things. She would go to Cassie and say, allegedly, you need to leave him, But she says that, you know, event charity with her and back up a bit because she knew Cassie wasn't ready to leave him, so she would do things like they would all wear glasses together so that Cassie wouldn'teel embarrassed or you know, like she talked about Cassie still having dreams and wanted to fulfill her music dreams and her modeling dreams and all these different things, and on offer

to like write for her like, so it gave that

she was, you know, trying to silently support her. Dawn also talked about that day after the alleged egg accident incident happened, and she says that after that incident, the day after, y'all recall even in her lawsuit, she says that the day after, Diddy came into a room a recording studio that her and kier Her and her band My Members Harper were allegedly in and told them like that was just passion that y'all saw nobody's hurt and sold them like y'all need to don't say nothing about

what y'all saw, because who people who talk about, you know, these type of things when it comes to me go missing.

is Diddy team. Diddy teams come on and he they just basically go through event event event event that she had named on face value. I'm not even gonna lie on face value it gave. They didn't hold back on

Dawn whatsoever. They cooked her. And the reason why I say that is because at face value, right, like just listening to it, there were so many times where she had recalled things that they would say, Oh, well, that wasn't mentioned in your testimony to the prosecutors, which is a testimony where you know you're supposed to be telling the truth. Right, for instance, whether Darmer shards testimony should

honestly even be admitted. Because Diddy's team was trying to say, look, we can't just pull out all these random acts of violence that people are alleging and throw them on you know, Diddy, because it doesn't prove what we're here to have a conversation about, which is a sex trafficking and you know,

all these other things. The prosecution was like, oh no, it does because when you talk about these acts of alleged domestic violence and you have these witnesses giving these first hand accounts, it shows how fearful they were, especially Dawn, who is alleging that not only does she see him get physical with Cassie, but she was threatened to if

you say something, this is what will happen. And that right there is what the prosecution is trying to That's the biggest thing they're trying to prove, is that Diddy has this nature about him allegedly where it's like.

Don is like yeah, and they're like, you're supposed to be honest in these interviews with prosecutors, right, like it I it is like assumed, and you know that you're supposed to be honest, and she's like, of course. So the defense attorney, who Nicole Westmoreland, who was the attorney that you know a lot of people were kind of waiting to see how she crossed examined. This was her first time actually getting up and going and cross examining with the witness, because we had heard that she was

so good at strategy behind cross examination. She's like, okay, well, you know, you mentioned a couple things in your story here on the stand that don't reflect what you told the prosecutors and your interviews and you met with them a few times, correct and down, you know, didn't didn't argue that she didn't meet with them a few times.

There were like three to four times from the first interview until the until you know now when we are when we're seeing don where Dawn did not mention at all the fact that she was threatened allegedly by Puff and what Miss west Moreland did that I thought was very good was before she brought back up that threat and the fact that it wasn't mentioned, and a lot of the interviews that Dawn had with the prosecutors, she said, I want to make sure that I understand when Shawn

Holmes allegedly threatened you, right, what did you take that threat as? And Dawn said, you know what, I took that threat if I did something. He would allegedly kill me if I did something. She said, okay, so we have it established that you were at fear for your

life and doing It's like yeah. So then she goes on the line of times that Dawn did not mention this to the prosecutors the government and she's like, well, let's be clear, Shawn Holmes was not in the room when you did that interview, and she said no, she said, none of us were in that room, right, None of the lawyers, none of the attorneys were in the room

and did the interview. She said no, and she said, well, I'm very confused as to if you weren't fear for your life, why wouldn't you bring that into the interview. Why wouldn't you tell the government that Wes Moreland then did the same thing, And the fact that Dawn had communication with Diddy. She established the fact that you know, dawnval is a part of Danady Kane and Dandy Kane, you know, and Diddy and Dirty Money were these really big groups and they were platinum and they were successful.

And she, you know, was like, well, you you went on to do things by yourself after that, and it just wasn't as successful. So you kind of see where she's gone when she starts implying these things and saying these things, and she's like, you know, in twenty eleven, you say you got away, you decided to leave, never say anything about anything you saw because you were instructed to do so. And Dawn is like, you agree, like, yes,

I left in twenty eleven. I was told by you know, allegedly Puff and a guy named Harf Pierre that was like, you know, an executive that worked with Puff not to say anything about anything. So she says she listened again because she was in fear for her life from that one incident that she had directly when she had that threat thrown directly at her allegedly, and then everything else

that she had saw over time. So Wes Moreland, who was the defense attorney, is like, well, you say that you left in twenty eleven, but there was communications with Shawan after that, And at first Dawn is kind of like like she uh, and then she brings up the communications. She's like, Okay, She's like, well, here's a text conversation.

Because before that, the way that Dawn was mentioning in the conversations they were having was is if Diddy would reach out to her whenever she would have these high moments in her career, and she would make sure that, you know, she her temperament was right like calling him bro, just trying to make sure she didn't make him upset and you know, making sure that the situation was diffused because she had dealt with him, you know, dealt with all this before, so she knew how to, you know,

just not put flames to the situation. But Miss west Moreland came on and she's like, look, you left in twenty eleven. You were away, you had no ties, you had no reason to be in contact with them. Then they start bringing up these these communications. So one of the communications that they brought up was from a year where Dawn had reached out to allegedly work with Puff. Now here's the thing. The defense didn't clarify what those communications were. All the defense said was, well, you reached

out to him. Y'all had conversations despite you saying he was only reaching out to you. And she's like, correct now, And at the same time, every single time there's a hole that Wes Moreland grabs out, she mentions, Okay.

is Dawn is Laurian Gibson. So she said, you know, I had conversations and I was told I needed to reach out to Diddy to make sure that it was okay that I did this. So she said, that's one time that she reached out and he didn't reach out to her. She said the second time was because she was trying to do something for a friend, do something for ms Kleena Harper, who was the other band member of Diddy Dirty Money. But neither side ever clarified what

she was trying to do. But she just kept saying, I was just trying to help a friend.

drugged by her hair through grass. Diddy's legal team brought that up because again they're trying to just deflate her credibility, and they're like, do you remember telling prosecutors that that didn't happen that way? And she's like doing it, she's she was very honest about it. She was like, yes, I told the prosecutors that that was a misquote for my attorney, and they just left it at that. Like they did everything they could to poke poles in and

we's Moore was really good at poking the holes. But again when the prosecutors came in and doubled back behind it, they did everything they could to be like, Okay, that hole was there, but here's why. And then they brought Carrie Morgan on a stand who was friends, very close friends with Cassie for a very very long time, who

the prosecution. You know, they let her go. They let her tell her different stories and recount different things, and you know, she really I don't even think we needed it, to be honest, because Cassie had already done her due diligence at telling her story about all the abuse that she suffered and things that that nature. And they had photos to a company. We've seen the video from the

Intercontinental hotel. So I don't think that the jury needed to be sold on domestic violence when it comes to Diddy, right. But one thing that I thought was interesting with Cary Morgan and it was certain things that they both remembered that were key, right because like Cary Morgan remembered the.

the same thing. There were small ways where they were trying to trip he up, but they couldn't really get her because she was honest about what she didn't know. She didn't second guess it what she did know. She stuck straight to that. And if you asks her five different ways, she was you know what I mean, she was saying the same thing. So it really made today like it made me feel indifferent about today in both testimonies, but at high level that I was a breakdown of today.

Let me know how y'all are feeling, because I'm feeling like neither of those testimonies changed what I already knew. I already knew because I saw the videos and I saw photos and I heard cast is testimony that Diddy was extremely physically violent to her. One thing I did want to point out with Carrie Mooregon and the defense trying to use Carrie Morgan as a way to angle Cassie into like jealousy and anger and.

don't understand. And they instantly said, well, when Cassie came to you and she, you know, was trying to pay you for these things, you know that we're alleging that happened, the things she did to you, carry Morgan stopped and she says, she did to me. She didn't do those things to me. Did he did those Sean Colmbs did those things to me? Cassie was the middle person. Cassie just came to me and said, hey, here's how much

he's willing to pay you. And they fell out because Cassie was downplaying the abuse, which again it's like, of course she was downplaying the abuse. She was a woman that was being abused, as we saw, there's no you can't question that anymore. So of course she's downplaying it because she stayed there for all those years, right, But that's why they stopped speaking. But I think I thought that that was such an interesting point when she made that clear, like no, no, No, let's keep the main thing.

her business. But it was very clear that from what Kary we're gonna say, and Cassie made it very clear that money was coming from Diddy for the things that he had done previous to that. Cary Morgan also testified that when he walked into Cassie's apartment that day, or Cassie's home that day, and that hanger incident when he allegedly hit her with a hanger that they keep going back to happen, he came in and said, who's she

cheating on me? With the defense trying to make it seem like that incident happened because Diddy was trying to protect Cassie from Carrie Morgan and another woman because of the drugs that they were allegedly doing together, which Kry Morgan didn't deny. She said that they were doing drugs together, but she said not that day in that house. There were no drugs even there. According to what she said, I'm Laura of the Rose that this is the latest.
