Federal authorities are currently in the process of contacting more individuals identified in footage recovered from Diddy’s mansions. This comes as Diddy’s accusers, including Cassie, have been informed they might have to testify in front of a grand jury in New York.

Cassie and Diddy had been together for nearly eight years, and in a lawsuit filed last month, Cassie detailed the abuse she claims Diddy committed, including physical assault.

Tiffany Red, who worked with Cassie, witnessed verbal abuse on several occasions, one notably during Cassie’s 29th birthday in 2015. Diddy allegedly cornered Cassie at a karaoke event, verbally assaulting her in front of friends. Later that night, Red, who was staying at Cassie’s home, heard screaming and found Diddy in an agitated state with Cassie appearing sedated.

It was only recently that Cassie confided in Red about Diddy’s coercion into participating in what he called “freak offs,” where he hired sex workers and forced Cassie to engage against her will.

In her lawsuit, Cassie described being physically abused by Diddy, including an instance where she was confined to a hotel room for days to heal. Red recounted Cassie telling her about a black eye she concealed under makeup during the premiere of her 2016 film “The Perfect Match.”

Cassie’s lawsuit was quickly settled, with both parties stating they had resolved the matter amicably, but without any admission of wrongdoing from Diddy.

Diddy, whose career spans three decades, has faced multiple allegations. Since November, he has been named in eight civil lawsuits, seven of which directly accuse him of sexual assault. Federal investigators are intensifying their probe, with many of Diddy’s accusers cooperating and providing evidence.

Authorities are also reaching out to individuals appearing in footage seized from Diddy’s residences during March raids, including a male sex worker.

A spokesperson for Homeland Security confirmed that the investigation is ongoing, with a potential grand jury hearing in New York City.

Federal raids on Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami yielded significant evidence, including video footage. Investigators are now examining broader allegations beyond sex trafficking, encompassing money laundering and illegal drug activities.

The investigation is expansive, looking into various claims put forth in the civil lawsuits. Despite no public investigation by the NYPD, the district attorney of Manhattan may be conducting inquiries behind the scenes. The federal probe into Diddy’s activities marks a significant escalation in the case, especially with the potential involvement of a grand jury.

Tiffany Red, now an activist advocating for equal pay and fair rights for artists and writers, has turned her experience into a mission to help others. She emphasizes that her speaking out has been part of her healing process, standing in solidarity with Cassie and validating her lawsuit claims.

CNN has confirmed that federal authorities have been busy interviewing several accusers who filed civil lawsuits against Diddy. Moreover, individuals seen in footage seized from Diddy’s homes are also being questioned. The investigation has broadened to include various illegal activities, and federal authorities are still in the process of gathering information and evidence.

One eyewitness account from Ari Styles, who was present at Diddy’s house during a raid, described the chaotic scene. Styles recounted being asked to bring more girls to the house and witnessing a tense environment before leaving early in the morning. Hours later, he saw news of the raid and arrests, reflecting on how close he and his friends were to being caught up in the situation.

The unfolding investigation into Diddy’s alleged crimes continues to gather momentum, with authorities delving deeper into the various allegations against him. As more witnesses come forward and evidence is examined, the full scope of the case remains to be seen.
