Former Danity Kane member and Cassie Ventura’s close friend, Dawn Richards, gave powerful testimony about Diddy’s alleged violent behavior.
She described a 2010 incident at a celebrity dinner with Usher, Ne-Yo, and Jimmy Iovine. After a private argument, Diddy allegedly “punched Cassie in the stomach.” Richards claimed Cassie “immediately bent over,” and no one intervened.
Richards also testified that Diddy’s abuse went on for years. “He would punch her, choke her, drag her, slap her in the mouth,” she said. In one instance, he reportedly beat Cassie with a skillet of eggs in 2009.
In a chilling detail, Richards said Diddy threatened Cassie after an attack: “He said you could go missing, that we could die.”
Despite the mounting accusations, Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
