Diddy Abuse Trial: Ex-Girlfriend Cassie Ventura's Friends Testify

Testimony from Cassie Ventura's Inner Circle

• 🎤 Kerry Morgan, a former close friend of Cassie Ventura, testified about witnessing alleged abuse by Sean "Diddy" Combs.
• ⚠️ Morgan described an alleged 2018 incident where Combs "grabbed her by the throat from behind" and threw a wooden hanger at her head.
• 💰 She stated that she considered filing a lawsuit but accepted $30,000, reportedly paid by Combs through Ventura, in exchange for signing an NDA and not going to the police.
• 🇯🇲 Morgan also recounted an incident in Jamaica where she and others hid in a ditch due to fear.
• 🚨 She confirmed that police were aware of Ventura's "black eyes" after a 2016 hallway attack, even though Ventura was uncooperative with authorities.

Dawn Richard's Testimony and Cross-Examination

• 🎶 Dawn Richard, a member of Diddy's girl group Danity Kane, testified, appearing to corroborate Cassie Ventura's accounts of violent incidents.
• ⚖️ However, during cross-examination, defense attorneys highlighted inconsistencies in Richard's recollections, which seemed to fluster her.
• 🧐 The defense appeared to gain ground during Richard's cross-examination, with Diddy reportedly engaged and leaning forward.
• 🚫 Notably, Richard did not testify about allegations of sexual battery, assault, and coercion for commercial sex acts that are part of her own ongoing lawsuit against Combs.
• 💼 Her testimony focused on a hostile work environment and career hampering, but not the more severe accusations from her personal legal case.
