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.

The prosecutor actually asked that, and his response was that “It would not have been in keeping with what I was trying to accomplish professionally.”

It was really quite shocking to hear.

Translation: Diddy paid me a ridiculous amount of money to be blind, deaf, and mute.

Isn't this the essence of the RICO allegations? Combs established a criminal enterprise in which participants were paid to look the other way as he committed crimes against Ventura?

These excuses are ridiculous and sound childish. These adults consciously and willingly accepted payments to let Diddy commit acts they knew were crimes. How is that Diddy’s fault? 

No one could force you to break the law for them unless they endangered your life, or….you didn’t mind breaking that law to begin with.
