Diddy’s defense team is suggesting that Cassie may have thought his alleged rape in 2018 was linked to bipolar disorder. The topic arose during court proceedings when Cassie was questioned about her statements to investigators regarding the incident that occurred after a breakup discussion with Diddy during dinner.
According to Cassie, Diddy’s behavior that evening was described as both polite and peculiar, with her perceiving him as not being in the right state of mind when she requested him to stop the assault and he did not respond. When asked by Diddy’s attorney if she had implied to authorities that his actions that night could be associated with his bipolar disorder, Cassie responded affirmatively.
This marks the first instance of Diddy’s defense bringing up bipolar disorder, prompting speculation about their motive. Diddy has previously mentioned his experiences with bipolar disorder, mentioning in an interview with Playboy how he sought therapy after his breakup with Jennifer Lopez, clarifying that while he has intense mood swings, he does not consider himself bipolar.
