Dawn Richard Testifies Diddy Threatened Death Over Abuse Witnessed

During the ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, singer Dawn Richard testified that Combs threatened to kill her and another woman after they witnessed him violently abuse his longtime girlfriend, Cassie. Richard described seeing Combs physically assault Cassie multiple times, including an incident in 2009 where he attempted to hit Cassie with a skillet. She interpreted Combs' threat that "people could go missing" as a warning that they could be killed if they spoke out about the abuse. Cassie also testified that their nearly 11-year relationship involved frequent drug-fueled parties with male sex workers that severely impacted her well-being and career. Combs has pleaded not guilty, and his defense claims that evidence of domestic violence does not prove the federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. The testimonies highlight serious allegations that Combs exploited his entertainment industry power to intimidate and abuse women.
