Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Ex-Girlfriend Needed Stiches After He Beat Her Up
Cassie Ventura required medical treatment, including stitches, after Sean "Diddy" Combs assaulted her, a celebrity stylist told the Manhattan court on Wednesday.
Deonte Nash, a close friend of Ms Ventura, told the jury that he often saw the hip-hop mogul abusing his former partner.
Mr Nash said that Combs once went to Ms Ventura's Los Angeles home where she was asleep on the sofa. He alleged that the rapper yelled at her, pulled her by her hair and began hitting her. When Mr Nash and Ms Ventura tried to run into a bedroom and close the door, Combs managed to enter, he said, according to BBC.
The stylist alleged that the 55-year-old beat her until she hit her head on the bedframe and started bleeding badly. He added that when he attempted to contact emergency services, Combs said one of his security personnel would take her to a plastic surgeon for treatment.
The following day, Mr Nash claimed to have seen her on a video call with stitches in her eyebrow.
In 2013, Combs threatened to release videos of Ms Ventura engaging in sexual acts with male prostitutes, whom he allegedly forced her to sleep with and claimed that the Last Night singer would often call her names like "sl*t" and "h*e", Mr Nash further told the jury.
Ms Ventura didn't want to be involved in the sex parties, the stylist's friend added.
Last week, Ms Ventura's mother, Regina Ventura, shared a 2011 email in which her daughter detailed the violence she faced. She said Combs would often threaten her daughter to release explicit videos after he learned about her relationship with rapper Kid Cudi.
She alleged that Combs demanded $20,000 to prevent the release of the sex tapes.
The music mogul was arrested in September 2024 and faces racketeering, trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution charges. He has not pleaded guilty.

Sean ‘Diddy' ignored pleas for escorts to use condoms, ex-girlfriend tells court in sex trafficking trial
Sean 'Diddy' Combs twice rebuffed a former girlfriend's requests that male entertainers wear condoms when having sex with her as Combs watched, the woman said on Friday during a testimony at the music mogul's sex trafficking trial. According to a Reuters report, the woman said that Combs would 'guilt trip' her when she asked that the entertainers wear condoms during their frequent and lengthy sexual encounters. The woman is testifying under the pseudonym Jane to protect her privacy, the report said. These sexual interactions resembled what another one of Comb's exes, Casandra Ventura, referred to as 'Freak Offs' during her testimony last month, it added. An audio clip heard by the jurors in the Manhatten federal court trial recorded Combs intervening after Jane asked a male entertainer named Don if he had a condom. As the recording was played, Combs rapidly tapped his fingers against his leg while seated at the defence table, the Reuters report said. "Why didn't you just insist that Don wear a condom?" prosecutor Maurene Comey asked. "Because I just didn't want to disappoint my lover," Jane responded, referring to Combs. Jane said she and Combs dated from 2021 through 2024. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to five felony counts including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Prosecutors say he coerced women over two decades to take part in elaborate, drug-fueled sexual performances during Freak Offs over two decades, the report said. The Bad Boy Records founder's defense lawyers have acknowledged that Combs was occasionally abusive in domestic relationships, but say the women who took part in 'Freak Offs' did so consensually. During the first day of her testimony on Thursday, Jane said she was 'head over heels' for Combs and wanted to have a one-on-one relationship with him, but that starting five months into their relationship most of their time together involved sexual interactions with male escorts in hotels. Jane said that when she told Combs she wanted those encounters to stop, he threatened to stop paying her rent. On Friday, Jane frequently sobbed and dabbed her eyes with a tissue as she told jurors how Combs would encourage her to keep going even after she grew tired during the encounters, which she said often lasted 24 hours or more, the Reuters report added. In one instance, which Jane recounted during the trial, she said she broke down crying after Combs said he had to leave following an encounter with an entertainer, despite having promised Jane a one-on-one date night and that the entertainer would be there for 'just a little bit'. "I hung onto those words, just a little bit," Jane said. "I was feeling terrible that he was going to leave me alone."
