Stylist Testifies Sean Combs Threatened Sex Tapes, Abuse Cassie Ventura

During Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, celebrity stylist Deonte Nash testified about witnessing Combs' abusive and controlling behavior toward his ex-girlfriend Casandra "Cassie" Ventura. Nash described Combs physically assaulting Ventura, verbally abusing her with misogynistic slurs, and threatening to release explicit sex tapes of her to her parents' workplaces to intimidate and control her. He also testified that Combs coerced Ventura into degrading sexual performances with male performers and tightly controlled her public image and music career, often threatening to withhold her music releases. Additionally, Nash recounted incidents where Ventura appeared bruised and emotionally distressed due to Combs' violence. The trial also included testimony related to other violent acts allegedly committed by Combs or his associates, such as the arson of rapper Kid Cudi's car after Cudi dated Ventura. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges and faces up to life in prison if convicted.
