Diddy Ex-Assistant Capricorn Clark Testifies in Manhattan Sex-Trafficking Trial

Sean “Diddy” Combs faces serious sex trafficking, racketeering, and related charges in a Manhattan federal trial, with testimony revealing a pattern of violence, coercion, and intimidation spanning two decades. Capricorn Clark, Combs' former personal assistant and close confidant to his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, is a pivotal witness expected to testify about incidents including a 2011 break-in at rapper Kid Cudi’s home, allegedly orchestrated by Combs out of jealousy. Clark’s testimony may corroborate multiple allegations of violence against Ventura, including a public assault and numerous threatening acts, as well as Combs forcing her to participate in illegal activities. Other former employees have described Combs as a demanding and intimidating boss who exposed staff to chaotic, violent, and illegal situations, including gun threats and drug procurement. The trial has also highlighted emotional distress caused to Ventura and witnesses, with testimony about threats to release sex tapes and physical harm directed at Ventura and Cudi. Combs denies all wrongdoing and faces a potential life sentence if convicted.
