Capricorn Clark, former assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs, gave powerful testimony Tuesday in Combs’ federal trial for sex trafficking and racketeering. She said Combs kicked singer Cassie Ventura after learning about her past relationship with rapper Kid Cudi.

Clark told the court she was on the phone with Ventura in December 2011 when Combs allegedly broke into Kid Cudi’s home. She said she heard Cudi in the background say, “He’s in my house?” Clark warned Ventura, “Cassie, stop him. He’s going to get himself killed.”

Clark testified that Combs then told her to bring Ventura to him, saying, “He has me and he’s not going to let me go until I come get her.” She and one of Combs’ bodyguards, Ruben, drove to get Ventura. Clark said Combs wanted Ventura to convince Kid Cudi not to go to police about the break-in.

She also testified that Combs threatened her, saying, “If you don’t convince him, I’m going to kill all you m————.”

Clark said when she brought Ventura to Combs’ house, he was in a robe and underwear and immediately began kicking Ventura. She said, “Every time she got kicked, she moved back,” eventually curling into a fetal position all the way to the street.

Clark told the court she didn’t try to stop him because Combs said, “If I jump in, he was going to f— me up, too.”

Breaking down in tears, Clark said she called Ventura’s mother, telling her, “Combs is beating the s— out of your daughter. Please help her. I can’t call the police, but you can.”

The next day, December 23, 2011, Ventura sent Clark and her mother an email about Combs threatening to release two sex tapes, which the jury has already seen.

Clark said she was fired by Combs in 2012, but returned in 2016 to work for Ventura as creative director. She testified that Combs still controlled every detail of Ventura’s work and that she saw an increase in Ventura’s drug use. Clark said she cut ties in 2018 and hasn’t spoken to Ventura since.

Clark’s testimony is part of the ongoing federal trial against Sean Combs, where he faces charges of sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering conspiracy. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The prosecution has ended its questioning of Clark. Cross-examination is expected to begin after a court break.
