Sabrina tearfully admitted that she had dated Christian long before he achieved national fame, but his management agency forced him to hide her away to protect his heartthrob image.

“Were you fully aware that Christian was planning a violent act to stop Genevieve from attending the wedding?” the lead prosecutor asked her directly.
