P Diddy trial live: Sean Combs' ex Cassie gives evidence
Emily Johnson, the assistant US attorney, showed Cassie a still image from surveillance footage captured at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016. Video of the incident in which Combs dragged her by her hair down a hallway was shown to the jury on Monday.
She explained that she and Combs had been engaged in a 'freak off' prior to the altercation and that she was attempting to leave.
Cassie testified that she didn't understand how the 'freak offs' could be sexually arousing for Combs, but felt obliged to participate in them.
She told the jury that video tapes of the sessions were 'blackmail materials' and worried that they would end up on the internet.
Asked to describe a 'freak off', Cassie said it involved hiring

Mom of three sisters 'suffocated by their dad in the woods' breaks silence - as ex-commando remains on the run
A mother whose three daughters were allegedly suffocated to death by their father has broken her silence as her Army veteran ex-husband remains of the run. Whitney Decker believes 'something broke inside' of her ex-husband Travis Decker and that he 'would not have done what he did if he was himself', her attorney revealed in a heartbreaking statement early Thursday morning. 'He clearly had some sort of break and everything that he had been living with, everything that had been bottled up inside of him for so long as far as trauma, just won out,' Whitney's attorney Arianna Cozart told the Seattle Times. Travis is wanted on suspicion of murder of his daughters Paityn, nine, Evelyn, eight, and Olivia, five, in Wenatchee, Washington State. He remains at-large and is considered dangerous, given his extensive military training and propensity for violence.

Sophia Bush claims she suffered 'every kind' of abuse from 'older man' on TV show
Sophia Bush has made serious allegations about suffering 'every kind' of abuse from 'someone old enough to be my father' on the set of a TV series, which had been on her 'bucket list.' Based on the timing, the 42-year-old One Tree Hill alum was most likely referring to her role as Detective Erin Lindsay in NBC procedural Chicago P.D., which she exited in 2017 after four seasons. 'I had a workplace, ongoing trauma revolving around an unending situation with someone old enough to be my father and I was like what is happening?' Sophia recalled on Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky Tuesday. 'When I look back at it, I had the opportunity after two years to go. I did the thing I learned to do and said, "I will not have my integrity diminished by someone else's behavior. I will be unflappable. I will come to work and do my job." And I couldn't.' Bush went on to describe the following two years as 'physical hell' where she would suffer spontaneous illness, hives, hair loss, crippling anxiety, insomnia, and 'really crazy weight fluctuation.' 'As an extrovert who loves people, to be hit with anxiety in such a way that I could barely be out of the house - if people touched me in public, I would jump out of my skin,' the SoCal native explained. 'Because I had to go to work ready for war all the time, I had to learn where to stand to not get elbowed in the ribs or how to block a scene to not be touched. It was just exhausting.' Six months after her character was written off the show, Sophia received a call from an 'executive apologizing for what they'd done and not done' during the height of the #MeToo movement. 'And [they] said, "We're very aware we just made it out of [MeToo] unscathed,"' Bush scoffed. 'And I was like "Glad you did! I'm in so much therapy. I've been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, but I'm thrilled you guys didn't get dragged through the press!"' And while the four male showrunners on Chicago P.D. are all in their 50s, the billionaire creator Dick Wolf - who also masterminded the Law & Order and FBI franchises - happens to be 78 years old. And two of the Work in Progress podcaster's former castmates - Elias Koteas and Jason Beghe - are in their 60s. Sophia reunited with her Grey's Anatomy co-star Chris Carmack for Jeff Fisher's switched-at-birth psychological thriller The Stranger in My Home, which premieres June 24 via VOD. Bush added: 'When I look back at it, I had the opportunity after two years to go. I did the thing I learned to do and said, "I will not have my integrity diminished by someone else's behavior. I will be unflappable. I will come to work and do my job." And I couldn't' Sophia said: 'As an extrovert who loves people, to be hit with anxiety in such a way that I could barely be out of the house - if people touched me in public, I would jump out of my skin. Because I had to go to work ready for war all the time, I had to learn where to stand to not get elbowed in the ribs or how to block a scene to not be touched' On the personal front, Bush might have secretly married her girlfriend Ashlyn Harris as they've both wearing wedding bands on their left ring fingers during the past two weeks. The Freedom Hair actress finalized her divorce from second ex-husband Grant Hughes on December 30 after 13 months of marriage. The 39-year-old retired soccer goalkeeper co-parents two adopted children - daughter Sloane, 4; and son Ocean, 2 - with ex-wife Ali Krieger, and their divorce was finalized December 4 after four years of marriage. Sophia and Ashlyn began dating in October 2023, but they spoke on the same feminist panel during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in June 2023.
