Would an NDA Prevent Cassie From Testifying Against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs? Legal Expert Says No

Per Syracuse University Law Professor Gregory L. Germain:

>One way around them is for the party to be compelled to testify under oath in a criminal or civil case. A private confidentiality agreement does not prevent being compelled by law to give testimony as part of a legal proceeding. In a criminal case or before a grand jury, the government can compel the testimony through the use of a subpoena. In a civil case, a person with relevant knowledge can be forced to testify by subpoena. A private NDA is not a defense to giving testimony compelled by law.

*Short Answer: No
