Panicked list of celebrities secretly lawyering up in case they're called to testify in Diddy trial: Live updates
Sean ' Diddy ' Combs is facing the third week of his sex-trafficking and racketeering trial in New York City.
The music mogul, 55, has sat by his team of star lawyers as prosecutors accuse him of using his wealth and fame to coerce and threaten women and employees into serving his every need and sexual fantasy.
Stylist Deonte Nash told the jury on Wednesday he saw Diddy berating Cassie to engage in drug-fueled sexual encounters, 'freak offs,' and that Cassie confided to him that she didn't want to but felt obliged.
Diddy's ex-assistant Mia is set to take the stand next, and tell the jury that she was sexually abused by the music executive.
Diddy denies all allegations against him. His lawyers admit he's a woman beater - although he does not face domestic abuse charges - but that he is not guilty of sex trafficking or racketeering.
