Diddy’s legal team seemingly wants to dig into Cassie’s personal affairs ahead of his upcoming trial.
Cassie contends that Diddy is engaging in a fishing expedition, alleging he has demanded access to her bank statements and a manuscript she authored about her life and him. She is now requesting judicial intervention to suppress the subpoena.
According to new legal documents obtained by TMZ, Cassie is seeking to have the court invalidate a subpoena she claims was served on March 19th by Diddy’s legal representatives.
The subpoena, Cassie asserts, requires her to produce “all draft memoirs, autobiographies, narratives, diaries, journals or notes…and any communications about plans to publish or threaten to publish such a document.” Additionally, the singer claims Diddy is demanding she submit her financial records.
Earlier in the proceedings, Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, asserted that the 38-year-old informed Diddy she had written a book about their relationship and offered him the opportunity to “catch and kill” the manuscript for $30 million.
Agnifilo stated back in September 2024 that Cassie’s former attorney contacted the music mogul’s legal counsel on a recorded line, indicating that she had written a book and intended to publish it. Agnifilo further claimed Cassie suggested Diddy could purchase the rights to the manuscript for $30 million to prevent its release.
However, according to Agnifilo, the 55-year-old declined. Cassie changed legal representation, and her new attorney allegedly informed Diddy in November 2023 that the book was no longer relevant due to an impending civil sexual assault lawsuit.
Cassie, who ultimately filed that lawsuit and reached a settlement the following day, now argues that the subpoena is overly broad and premature. She has formally asked the court to dismiss it in its entirety.
Diddy is also seeking to have the infamous hotel footage scrapped from the trial. The video shows him violently attacking Cassie and was previously released to the public before his arrest.
