STAR-STUDDED SCANDAL: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ ties to some of entertainment’s most wealthy and powerful figures came to light during explosive rounds of testimony in the disgraced music mogul’s trial, which capped off its third week. Several victims exposed how wor…See More

The third week of testimony in Sean “Diddy” Combs’s sex-trafficking and racketeering case will bring more prosecution witnesses to the stand, including Combs’s former assistant Capricorn Clark. In testimony last week, Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi alleged that Clark called him to say that her boss had broken into Mescudi’s home.

Other former assistants have testified saying they procured drugs and other supplies for Combs, as well as witnessed his physical abuse of his former longtime girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura.

The star witness in the trial, Ventura, alleges she was coerced by Combs and his associates into participating in the alleged “freak-offs” — sex parties with male sex workers and copious drugs that took place in hotel rooms in major U.S. cities, as well as overseas. Ventura, 38, also alleged that the 55-year-old Combs orchestrated the events and used videos of the parties to blackmail her.

Combs has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. His defense team has argued that Ventura was a willing participant in the parties and has attempted to show that the pair’s volatile relationship was fueled by mutual jealousy, drug use and violence.

Ex-employee’s testimony reveals conflicting feelings about Combs

It was “complicated.”

That’s how Capricorn Clark described her tumultuous life working on-and-off for Sean “Diddy” Combs — a job she still misses intensely. (Just last year, after his homes were raided by federal agents, Clark and a lawyer discussed a possible new job with him.)

While Clark told the jury her job was to keep Combs and his operation “professional,” she described a profoundly unethical web of operations at Bad Boy Records and other Combs companies. Clark also sobbed uncontrollably saying that she wanted Combs’s approval because she “wanted her life back.”

That’s the same witness who said Combs abused, threatened and tormented her.

Clark testified that she saw Combs viciously kick Ventura in 2011 as punishment for her secret side relationship with rapper Kid Cudi. The witness — a hip-hop industry figure with A-list friends and associates like Rihanna and Ciara — also said Combs brandished a gun while confronting her about Ventura and Kid Cudi.

It took longer than expected to wrap up Capricorn Clark’s testimony on Tuesday, and Judge Arun Subramanian excused the jury nearly 30 minutes past the usual 3 p.m. time.

Once jurors left, the government said tomorrow it planned on calling a Los Angeles Police Department officer and an Los Angeles fire department arson investigator to the stand, as well as stylist Deonte Nash. The government said it would also like to call alleged victim Mia to the stand Wednesday. Mia is a pseudonym for one of Combs’s former employees.

For his last question to Capricorn Clark, defense attorney Marc Agnifilo asked about a comment she made during an April 2024 meeting at which he was present between Clark and Sean Combs’s lawyers.

Clark recounted a conversation she had with Cassie Ventura years ago, in which Clark allegedly told Ventura she should end her romantic relationship with Combs.

Ventura’s response, Clark paraphrased to Combs’s lawyers: “Jay-Z was taken, who would she date?” Agnifilo brought up the comment and asked Clark to confirm if it was true. Clark said it was.
