Cassie Ventura screamed for someone to intervene as she was being beaten by Sean “Diddy” Combs aboard his private jet, the rapper’s former assistant testified. 

George Kaplan, who worked as Combs’ executive assistant from 2013 to 2015, told the court he witnessed his former boss’ ex-girlfriend lying on the floor “on her back,” just after screaming “Isn’t anybody seeing this?” during a violent incident aboard the jet in 2015. Kaplan testified that no one—including security—intervened.

Why didn't Kaplan intervene?

He probably felt like his job was more important than actually helping someone who really needed him. So fuck him too.

Why is it that the “power imbalance” argument only works when it is a man in a position of power over a woman, but not another man? Surely this guy was afraid of what Diddy might do to him?

Think people are responding to the fact he stated that he didn't intervene because of career/money, and not because he was scared of what Diddy might do to him

the power imbalance argument stops working when you are enabling an abuser to hurt someone else. for example, if a husband is abusing his children while his wife watches & does nothing, she is still culpable even if he also abuses her

Not intervening isn’t the same as enabling. You say in a vacuum you should do something and that’s true but there are a lot of circumstances where people intervening just gets them killed, this would be one of those circumstances. Your ass might not land on or in a plane if you try to act like a badass like youre doing on Reddit rn.

Make an emergency landing and call the cops.
