Sean ‘Diddy' Combs trial: Chris Brown mentioned on day five
A New York jury in the Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial has seen a text sent my his then girlfriend Cassie Ventura accusing of him of treating her like a 'ragdoll' by beating her.
Shock audio was also played of Ms Ventura threatening to kill a man she thought might have video of her at one of Combs' infamous 'freak off' sex parties. And a famous singer's name came up in the Manhattan courtroom.
Combs is charged with transportation to engage in prostitution, sex trafficking and racketeering. He could face life in jail for just the racketeering charge. Combs has plead not guilty to all charges.
Ms Ventura has now entered her fifth day of testimony and third day of cross examination by Combs' lawyers.
In court she wore a white shirt covered by a black jacket and held her heavily pregnant belly.
A clip was shown from the infamous CCTV footage from March 2016 of a corridor of the InterContinental hotel in Los Angeles where Combs allegedly beat Ms Ventura after she left a freak off.
A text from her to Combs was the submitted in evidence.
'When you get f***ed up the wrong way you always want to show me that you have the power and you knock me around. I'm not a ragdoll, I'm someone's child,' she said.
Combs' defence then said to Ms Ventura that the singer regularly took her phone of her, to which she agreed.
One of those times, his lawyer said was when he 'suspected you of dancing with Chris Brown.
'I don't remember what happened on that occasion,' she said. 'Apart from not dancing with Chris Brown'.
Later audio was played in court of an acquaintance of Combs, who Ms Ventura suspected of having a video of her having sex at a freak off, taken off her phone.
'You need to tell me what you saw,' she said of the suspected footage he had.
'Who was f***ing me? You have it on your phone.
'It's my fucking life I will cut you up and put you in the fucking dirt and I will kill you and then I will kill you again.
'I have never killed anyone in my life but I will kill you.
'Show me the video, I'm going to f**k you up but it won't be me, if won't be your blood on my hands.
'Tell me what you saw'.
Ms Ventura said both she and Combs were worried about freak off footage becoming public.
She said in any such instances Combs would 'take care of it'.
There's no suggestion anyone was harmed.

US court drops charge against conspiracy theorist Donald Day Jr linked to Wieambilla attack
A US judge has dismissed one of the charges against a conspiracy theorist linked to the deadly Wieambilla terror attack. Donald Day Jr was facing five federal charges in the US — three relating to alleged threats, and two counts of violating firearms laws. US judge the Honourable John J. Tuchi has now dismissed one count of an interstate threat charge, which alleged Mr Day threatened the director of the World Health Organization. Mr Tuchi granted the motion from US government prosecutors for the count to be dropped this week after the government said it was "made in good faith and is not contrary to the public interest". The defendant's counsel did not object to the dismissal of the charge, labelled "count 2" in court documents. It was alleged in February 2023, Mr Day threatened to injure WHO director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, commenting on a BitChute video: "It is time to kill these monsters, and any who serve them. Where are my kind? Where are you? Am I the only one? F**kin' hell!" The video Mr Day commented on was of the WHO director discussing the discovery of a new virus in Equatorial Guinea called Marburg, which he said was similar to Ebola and had no approved vaccines. Mr Day was active on BitChute, under the username "WEAREALLDEADASF**K", and had previously posted on the platform that he was "an x-con, who's armed to the teeth." He also communicated with Gareth and Stacey Train on YouTube under the username "Geronimo's Bones". The Train couple, along with Gareth's brother Nathaniel, fired a hail of bullets at police at their Queensland property in 2022. Constables Rachel McCrow and Matthew Arnold, and a neighbour, Alan Dare, were all killed in the shooting. After the murder of the officers, Gareth and Stacey appeared to address Mr Day in a video posted on YouTube called "Don't Be Afraid". "[T]hey came to kill us, and we killed them. If you don't defend yourself against these devils and demons, you're a coward. We'll see you when we get home," Gareth said. "We'll see you at home, Don. Love you," Stacey added. Mr Day commented on the video soon after, that he wished he could be with the Trains "to do what I do best", according to court documents. "I hate it, that I am unable to. What can I do? I tell you, family, that those b**tards will regret that they ever f**ked with us," he said. Mr Day told officers in a police interview filed to a US court in April, that he was emotional after seeing the video. He said that if he had known what was going to happen, he would have told the Trains not to kill the officers as he wanted them to come to the United States. Mr Day admitted that he felt responsible for what happened to the Trains and for telling them he would have killed the "devils" and "demons" if they had come to his home. "I totally felt responsible for that … because I didn't want to see my friends get killed like that," he told police. The trial is scheduled to take place on September 15.

Christian Bale unrecognisable on the set of his upcoming sports movie Madden
Christian Bale is known for his extreme physical transformations for movie roles – and he's done it again for his upcoming film, Madden. The Oscar winner shaved his head, bleached his eyebrows and put on 9kgs to play former US Vice President Dick Cheney in the 2018 biopic Vice; he dropped a staggering 28kgs to play an emaciated, sleep-deprived operator in 2004 psychological thriller The Machinist; and that same year, he gained about 45kgs to play Batman in the rebooted Batman Begins. Now, the 51-year-old has once again undergone a remarkable transformation on the set of his new sports biopic, Madden, to portray late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis. Bale was spotted in character on set in Atlanta, Georgia, looking slick in a black leather get-up accessorised with three flashy Super Bowl rings. And gone was the actor's usually scruffy hair and beard. Instead he rocked a balding hairline, with the rest of his thin hair brushed back. Bale's skin also looked red and splotchy while in character. It wasn't just Bale who has transformed for his role. Co-star Nicolas Cage is also unrecognisable as titular character John Madden – the Raiders coach and legendary NFL broadcaster who is also the inspiration behind the popular video game Madden NFL. 'The film follows Madden's remarkable journey – from his Super Bowl-winning partnership with Al Davis and the Raiders, to creating Madden NFL, and becoming one of the most iconic voices in football history,' reads a synopsis from Amazon MGM Studios. Earlier this week, 61-year-old Cage was spotted wearing a vintage blue tracksuit and white button-up shirt over a fat suit on the Atlanta set. Like Bale, Cage was also wearing a light brown wig to complete his look. Last month, Amazon MGM Studios also shared a first look at Cage and Bale dressed in '70s gear, with their characters showing off the Super Bowl rings they won in 1977 after leading the Raiders to victory. The biopic also stars John Mulaney as EA founder Trip Hawkins, Kathryn Hahn as Madden's wife Virginia, and Sienna Miller as Al's wife Carol. 'The film follows Madden's remarkable journey — from his Super Bowl-winning partnership with Al Davis and the Raiders, to creating 'Madden NFL,' and becoming one of the most iconic voices in football history,' reads the synopsis from Amazon MGM Studios.
