Diddy has scored himself a rare legal win as he has been allowed to access to draft copies of Cassie‘s as-yet unreleased memoir.
The Bad Boy Records founder had served his former girlfriend with a subpoena ordering that she turn over “all draft memoirs, autobiographies, narratives, diaries, journals or notes … and any communications about plans to publish or threaten to publish such a document.”
While Cassie attempted to block Diddy from obtaining access, Judge Arun Subramanian has ruled that early versions of the book’s manuscript be handed over to the mogul’s legal team ahead of his trial for sex trafficking.
Diddy’s team have claimed that the book drafts could feature discrepancies that could contradict statements made by Cassie about the nature of her relationship with the record executive.
Cassie and her attorneys claimed that the documents were irrelevant to the case but the judge has allowed Diddy and his lawyers to view versions of the memoir that are already in possession of prosecutors.
The judge denied Diddy’s request for access to Cassie’s diaries, notes and emails as well as her bank records.
Neither Diddy nor Cassie have commented on the ruling.
According to Diddy’s legal team, Cassie previously told the mogul that she had written a book about their relationship and that he could purchase it for $30 million to prevent it from being published.
