Capricorn Clark, Sean” Diddy” Combs ‘ former assistant, testified to a , Manhattan  jury on Tuesday that the armed rap mogul kidnapped her late one night in 2011 to help him “kill ( Kid ) Cudi.”
As the 17th see, Clark backed up evidence from Combs ‘ father, Casandra” Cassie” Ventura, and Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi, about a disturbing incident in soon 2011 that saw Mescudi’s home in Hollywood Hills burglarized by Combs after discovering he’d been dating Ventura.
Clark, Combs ‘ assistant from 2004 to 2012, testified in , Manhattan , federal court. “( Combs ) came to my house with a gun and told me I had to go with him to kill Cudi,” Clark said.
A security guard and Combs called Ventura while he was in to warn her that the  co-founder of Bad Boy Records, Eddie Combs, was out for blood, and Clark claimed she was driven to Mescudi’s residence by them against her does.
Last year, Mescudi told the jury that Ventura had brought her to the Sunset Marquis resort to be healthy before calling Combs, who informed him that he had only wanted to talk. Combs was not present when Mescudi arrived home, but he discovered that his house had been burglarized, his dog had been locked in the bath, and his property had been torn clear.
According to Assistant , U.S.  , Attorney , Mitzi Steiner, Clark was interrogated on Tuesday when she reported that she picked up Ventura from the Sunset Marquis and took her to Combs ‘ sprawling , Los Angeles  castle, where the mogul began brutally beating Ventura upon their arrival.
According to Clark,” Puff was standing there in a coat and his underwear, and he instantly began kicking Cassie.” ” In her arms to begin with, one-hundred percent total force.”
When asked to explain the beating more in depth, Clark responded,” He kept kicking her. He always held his hands.
As she described the gruesome scene, Clark said she was too afraid to call the police because” the mission of the day was to get ( Kid ) Cudi not to call the police.”
He said,” He would f-k me up too, if I jumped in.”
Clark claimed she called Combs ‘ security team and eventually Regina Ventura’s mother, Regina Ventura, to tell her,” He’s beating the s–t out of your daughter,” when she realized Combs had not stopped. I’m in a funk, and I didn’t call the police, but you can.
Jurors have now learned how, in an ostensible Molotov cocktail attack, Mescudi’s Porsche was blown up in his street after the crime. Clark claimed she had contacted her and that she had informed Combs that the specialists were looking into the fire.
Prior to her evidence, the former aide, who first started out working for Def Jam Records, Def Jam Records, and Death Row Records, described how Combs violently disciplined her when she expressed dissatisfaction with her work. After leaving Combs, which she claimed required tough and unsustainable hours, Clark made a second career as the marketing manager for his clothing line, Sean John, in 2006. Clark claimed she was fired in 2012 because of alleged conflicts involving vacation time, and that she would work for him until 2018 as Ventura’s innovative director.
She claimed that the mogul conducted five times of lie detector tests on the fifth floor of an abandoned building close to , Times Square, when his jewellery went missing. An unknown companion chain-smoking smokes threatened her when she arrived there.
He claimed that if you didn’t pass this test, you’d be thrown in the East River . She would succeed on the check.
After the Mescudi’s crime, Clark reported that Combs ‘ hazards to her just increased; he estimated that he had threatened her between December 2011 and the next summer, typically in the presence of his long-awaited security guard, D-Roc, and Ventura.
If found guilty in the case, Combs, 55, may spend the rest of his life behind bars. He has entered a not-guilty plea in a five-count accusation, which includes those relating to transportation, racketeering, and sexual trafficking.
The music innovator, whose net value is estimated to be close to a billion dollars, has been coerced into degrading sexual acts with female escorts for years with the help of a network of senior employees, similar to those in a mob family who resorted to sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice to accompanies his desires, according to the Manhattan , Combs ‘ violent and uncertain temper has been extensively documented by the prosecution.
In the first week of evidence, a strongly female Ventura described in horrifying information being ensnared in a period of aggressive abuse, recovery, and humiliation during their 11-year relationship. The then 39-year-old singer claimed that she was frequently beaten terrible and coerced into hundreds of insulting sexual acts with other men, which Combs dubbed “freak-offs,” which the tycoon used against her as coercion.
