New York (AP) -Sean “Diddy” combing human trafficking during sex on Monday, when singer Dawn Richard testified that hip-hop magnate threatened to kill her if she says she sees her to overcome her long-time girl.
Richard said the jury of the Manhattan Federal Court that the Combsse was threatened the day after she was the founder of Bad Boy Records, trying to hit Casandra Cassie Ventura with a pan and then overcome it. She said he and another woman who saw the attack said “we could disappear” if he had revealed what he saw.
Mitzi Steiner, an assistant to the US, asked Richard what she had accepted “We can disappear.”
“The fact that we can die,” Richard replied, saying that it was shocked, because it all happened only when she started recording “Diddy – dirty money”, the musical trio she made with the Combs and another R&B singer.
The 55 -year -old Combs in New York is being tried for trading sex and reactions allegations, claiming that he has exploited his status as a broker of entertainment authority to abuse women, including Cassie, through threats and violence. He acknowledged it innocent, and his lawyers said prosecutors had evidence of domestic violence, but not federal crimes.
Last week, within four days, Cassie, a witness booth, testified that she wanted a loving relationship with coms for almost 11 years together, and instead made a weekly drug “freak” with male sex service providers, which made her too exhausted and damaged to pursue her musical career.
Shortly after Cassie’s on Friday, Richard began his bench on the bench saying she had been attacked several times in Cassie Cassie, including a visit to the Combs Home Recording Studio in 2009, when Richard said she and another woman saw Cassie Cassie on her head and beat her on the ground.
She said the Combsseed tried to strike Cassie’s head with a pan, but Cassie was able to direct her.
On Monday, Steiner asked Richard how often she saw how Combs broke his girlfriend.
“Often,” said Richard. “He struck her, suffocated, dragged her, stuck in his mouth. I saw him kicking her, putting her in the stomach.”
Richard said in other cases, she saw the Combs Punch Cassie in the face with a closed fist, and that she saw how he struck her in the restaurant through an argument in the restaurant.
Cassie used makeup, clothes and sunglasses to cover injuries, including bruising on the face, eyes, lips, hands and knees, Richard said.
Richard testified that the beats sometimes occurred when Cassie spoke out for herself, “If she had her own opinion of something.”
Other times she said, “It may be accidental. We don’t even know where it came from.”
Richard, who also performed in the band Danity Kane, said that Combs, including his bodyguards, was also a witness to violence.
“They didn’t respond. They wouldn’t do anything,” Richard testified.
Richard supported Cassie’s testimony that the Combsse had stifled Cassie’s changing singing career, saying she heard Comsie says Cassie, that he “belongs to her” and that any success she had in its conditions.
“It will come when he says it will come,” Richard said.
Bad Boy Records has signed Cassie on the 10 album agreement in 2006, but released Cassie, which released only one year. Cassie and Combs began to meet in 2007 and in 2018. Divorced for good.
Cassie testified last week that while she continued to go to the recording studio and composed songs, Combs refused to release them.
Richard said the Combsse would get angry – sometimes with violence – when she and other artists offered to help Cassie write songs.
“Mr. Combs did not like when we talked to Cassie and we would often pay for it,” Richard testified, adding: “If you did not stop in line, there were consequences.”
She recalled that the Combsse had cursed and told her not to stay away from her relationship.
