Following seven dramatic weeks of testimony in the sensational s*x trafficking trial of Sean Diddy Combs, the jury was presented with 34 prosecution witnesses, sketching a harrowing portrait of purported abuse, coercion, and control that lasted more than a decade. Sean Diddy Combs, who did not take the stand, watched his defence attorneys bet everything on cross-examinations, calling no witnesses of their own.
What Did The Witnesses Say About Sean Diddy Combs?
At the heart of the trial were former girlfriends Cassie Ventura and a woman who used the name Jane, who both testified to nightmare scenarios with drug-fueled s*xual orgies referred to as freak-offs and abusive and s*xual behavior. Cassie, a former R&B singer signed by Combs, testified for four days, describing situations in which she was coerced into humiliating s*x acts with strangers while Combs observed. She also charged him with rape after attempting to split up. A security guard and video evidence corroborated her accusations, including a 2016 attack at an LA hotel, where Combs reportedly attempted to cover up by paying a 100,000 bribe.
Model Jane, who recently dated Combs, informed jurors she was coerced into non-consensual s*x, frequently bullied through financial need. She described a brutal encounter where Combs choked and slapped her, forcing her to have s*x with other people.

Other witnesses provided damning details. Rapper Kid Cudi accused Combs of breaking into his house in 2011 after learning of his romance with Cassie, his Porsche later spontaneously combusted weeks later. Exotic dancers Daniel Phillip and Sharay Hayes (The Punisher) reported being paid thousands to have s*x with Cassie while Combs watched, sometimes barking orders or escalating into violence.
Mia, one of Combs’ former assistants, accused him of assaulting and raping her between 2009 and 2010. When asked about flirtatious texts she sent him afterwards, she responded, “I was still brainwashed.”
One of the most disturbing testimonies came from Capricorn Clark, a former assistant, who described Combs breaking into her house with a gun, demanding they find Cudi, saying they were going to kill him.
