Overview

  • Former assistant Capricorn Clark testified that Combs beat his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, threatened to kill rapper Kid Cudi, and once forced Clark at gunpoint to accompany him in a break-in.
  • A second accuser known as “Mia” testified under seal that Combs sexually assaulted and physically abused her on multiple occasions, leaving her with complex PTSD.
  • Celebrity stylist Deonte Nash corroborated Cassie’s claims of coerced sex sessions and informed jurors that Cassie gave birth to her third child days after concluding her testimony.
  • Los Angeles police and arson investigators linked Combs to a 2011 home invasion at Kid Cudi’s residence and a subsequent 2012 firebombing of his car based on vehicle registration and forensic analysis.
  • Prosecutors expect to rest their case by mid-June, and the defense has signaled plans to call additional witnesses, which could extend the trial into July.
