Welp, here we are again in the cursed timeline where resurfaced celebrity photos make headlines—not for the outfits, but for the alleged injuries hidden under them. Cassie, the “Me & U” singer you probably slow-danced to in high school, is back in the spotlight, and not because she dropped a new track. Nope. It’s because she’s spilling more tea (read: scalding lava) during Sean “Diddy” Combs’ absolutely bananas sex trafficking trial.
So, picture this: it’s March 7, 2016. Cassie walks the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of The Perfect Match. She’s smiling, serving looks, and probably thinking, “Wow, I hope nobody can tell I just covered a black eye, a fat lip, and bruises on my legs with half a Sephora store.”
According to her testimony on Day 3 of the trial (which, let’s be honest, is already more dramatic than any episode of Law & Order), the red carpet moment came just TWO days after a hotel attack allegedly at the hands of Diddy—caught on camera, no less. Yes, this footage apparently exists and was leaked in 2024 like some sort of horrifying “throwback Thursday from hell.”
Cassie, now 38 and done with the BS, told the court that she thought Diddy was “sick” for thinking it was even remotely okay to allegedly hurt her and then expect her to show up looking like Hollywood’s Next Top Cover Girl. Sis had to swap outfits last minute just to hide the bruises on her legs. Like, red carpet-ready but make it “trauma couture.”
Also shown in court? A photo of Cassie and Diddy at the event, both smiling like it’s just another glamorous night in Tinseltown—because trauma and Hollywood go together like peanut butter and… gaslighting?
Cassie is still testifying, and honestly, we’re all bracing for more plot twists than a Shonda Rhimes finale.
Stay tuned—because this case is messier than a toddler in a ball pit full of glitter and lies.
