00:00One, I was in an economic position where I really needed the money.

00:05Two, Mr. Combs is incredibly powerful, and Ms. Ventura had no problem in her use of that

00:11power, which has actually been revealed now because we've heard recordings of her threatening

00:16people.

00:16We've seen text messages.

00:18There are many different sides to people, and even Cassie is a normal individual.

00:22She has herself.

00:24There is a side that manipulated Sean Combs' power, the side that embraced his power and

00:32his position to do things that she wanted.

00:34So I was always afraid if I stopped coming, then I would start to have problems because

00:39she threatened me several times to come and made me feel uncomfortable that I would come

00:44to see her just to avoid any problem with Sean Combs.

00:47He's incredibly powerful.

00:49He has people that could follow me around, damaging my life for years, and it would cost

00:53nothing to do with it.

00:54So I want to say I continued in the situation, but not as much.

00:59There was many times that I did stall them, flake on them, as the word goes, and not show

01:03up.

01:04But I kept the relationship strong enough that they never thought I was trying to turn on

01:08them or betray their secrets.

01:09I have been trying to file litigation for this matter against Sean Combs and Cassie since,

01:15I want to say, March of 2024, maybe, February.

01:19But I was represented by Tyrone Blackburn.

01:22And Tyrone Blackburn has a substantial amount of litigation against Sean Combs that the conviction

01:27of Sean Combs was dependent on him winning a lot of his civil cases.

01:31My attorney intentionally held the filing back to protect the credibility of Cassie.

01:36Tyrone Blackburn, he intentionally held it back.

01:39I have numerous communications to him where I am directly informing him to file.

01:43He would talk to the prosecutors, and then he would duck me for weeks and not file the

01:49lawsuit.

01:49So this is why it was never filed.

01:51I feel he was working with them.

01:53He had conversations with them without me.

01:56He literally would disobey my direct instruction.

01:59I'm the client.

02:00I'm the one who's supposed to direct my attorney to make decisions.

02:03If I tell you to exercise a statute or a claim as my attorney, you can either quit or you can

02:10do it.

02:10What Tyrone did was duck me into the statute of the Gender Motivated Violence Act that expired

02:15last year, this year, excuse me, in March.

02:18He ducked me until maybe 48 hours before the expiration of the statute, so I wouldn't have

02:23enough time to draft the complaint that I filed myself that you filed me with now.

02:27If the U.S. Attorney's Office knows all of this and investigated her, and instead of

02:31prosecuting her, allowed her to have immunity and didn't prosecute her, me going after her

02:36for criminal charges, kind of makes me, like, vindictive.

02:41And I don't want that.

02:42That's the mission of my lawsuit.

02:43The mission of my lawsuit is to obtain justice for the things that I truthfully know Cassandra

02:48did.

02:48It's not about having her put in prison.

02:50I don't want to destroy her life.

02:52She has three beautiful children.

02:54She seems happily married.

02:55The truth of the matter is, she never created this facade of a lie.

03:00I would never be talking about this.

03:02I would never, no one would ever believe me that I had the relationship I had with Cassie.

03:06Cassie is the one who brought me forward.

03:08She did this to herself.

03:09I told the U.S. Attorney's Office the truth of both parties, that they were co-conspirators.

03:14They were involved.

03:15They verified hotel locations.

03:18I saw text messages between me and Cassie.

03:21The U.S. Attorney's Office knew that Cassie was criminally complicit.

03:24But Sean Combs was more important, so they totally ignored it.

03:28It makes no sense for me to try to get criminal charges.

03:30They don't care about male victims.

03:31They care about empowering Cassie.

03:33And forgive me for saying this with the Me Too movement.
