Diddy's former executive assistant, Capricorn Clark, mentioned both Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey during her testimony in the sex trafficking trial.

Capricorn claimed she thought Cassie was talented but was more of a studio artist.

"Why do you think she just had talent as opposed to being very talented?" Diddy's lawyer asked the ex-assistant.

"Um, talented to me is Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey," Capricorn said. "Very talented is that level of performer, entertainer. Cassie was more of a studio artist."

Capricorn described a studio artist as "a little bit more comfortable in the vocal booth to have a little bit of things equalized for you and, you know, engineered properly. Less of a live performer."

Prior to working with Mike Meyers, "Mia," the alleged victim who worked for Diddy from 2009 until 2017, also worked as a personal assistant for fashion designer Georgina Chapman.

"Who were Georgina's Chapman's clients?" the prosecution asked during direct examination.

Mia answered, "It was all like red-carpet celebrity dressing."

Chapman was previously married to Harvey Weinstein, who is facing a rape retrial in New York, from 2007 until 2021. Chapman filed for divorce in 2017 after multiple women came forward accusing Weinstein of sexual misconduct.

Chapman is the co-founder of the fashion brand Marchesa and has been dating actor Adrien Brody since 2020.

"Earlier that day," she said. "We, he was giving me the run of the, you know, run of show, what the job would be like. And we walked from the east side of the park to the west side of the park, and we ran into Nas and Kelis in the middle of the park."
