But the defense left binders of printed out Instagram posts on the jurors' chairs. In most of them "Mia" praised her boss and showed off a party-heavy, globe-trotting lifestyle. Combs's attorney Brian Steel also pushed back on her claims that Combs sexually assaulted her.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy

Capricorn Clark testified Sean “Diddy” Combs kidnapped her at gunpoint to confront rapper Kid Cudi. She also detailed Cassie Ventura's brutal beating and escalating threats from the rap mogul. #STSNation, Welcome to Surviving the Survivor, the podcast that brings you the very #BestGuests in all of #TrueCrime. Day 10 of the Sean “Diddy” Combs federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial brought some of the most damning testimony to date. Former assistant Capricorn Clark took the stand and stunned jurors, claiming that in 2011, Combs showed up at her home with a gun, kidnapped her, and forced her into an Escalade to help him confront — and possibly kill — rapper Kid Cudi.

Clark also detailed years of workplace abuse, threats of violence, forced lie detector tests, and a disturbing pattern of coercive control by Combs that aligns with prior testimony from Cassie and other witnesses. She described being blacklisted from the industry after her firing, pleading with Combs for forgiveness, and being lured back in years later — all while the shadow of fear never lifted.

Diddy's Alleged Death Threats and Kidnapping Scheme Detailed by Ex-Staffer In a jaw-dropping moment during the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, former assistant Capricorn Clark took the stand and laid out one of the most disturbing nights in recent celebrity crime history. Clark testified that in December 2011, Combs stormed into her apartment at 5:30 AM with a gun, enraged that Cassie Ventura had been romantically involved with rapper Kid Cudi. What followed, according to Clark, was a terrifying ride to Kid Cudi's home, with Combs allegedly declaring, “We're going to go kill him.” This true crime video breaks down Clark's full testimony, the burner phone call she made to Cassie, the car chase that followed, and the alleged threat from Combs that still echoes in courtroom walls: “Convince him I wasn't there — or I'll kill all of you.” This isn't a tabloid rumor. It's sworn testimony in a federal racketeering trial with decades of abuse, coercion, and power manipulation under scrutiny. If you're following the Diddy trial, this is a must-watch breakdown of the night prosecutors say began to reveal the real empire behind the fame. #diddytrial #kidcudi #cassieventura #truecrime #federaltrial #racketeering #capricornclark #celebritycrime #assaultallegations #diddyontrial Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Laura Richards and co-host Lisa Bilyeu are joined by former CIA spy and intelligence expert Andrew Bustamante to unpack the complex web of evidence, abuse, and control unfolding in the Sean “Diddy” trial. Laura, Lisa and Andrew explore the charges against Combs including that Combs abused, threatened, and coerced women and others, and led a racketeering conspiracy that engaged in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice, in comparison with particular testimonies including Regina Ventura, Cassie's mother, Dawn Richard, Kerry Morgan, "The Punisher” and Kid Cudi. Laura highlights how abusers weaponise fear and power to maintain control, and how those in their orbit enable the abuse—whether through silence or active participation. Andrew brings a spy's lens to the case, analyzing Diddy's tactics through the eyes of a trained operative—making powerful connections between psychological warfare and public manipulation.

Federal prosecutors called a slew of witnesses this week to bolster their racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking case against Sean “Diddy” Combs. Many of them corroborated incidents that Combs's ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura described in her testimony last week – but others added details that pushed against her narrative that he was controlling and coerced her into sex acts. And musician Kid Cudi took the stand to talk about the molotov cocktail he said was thrown into his Porsche. Style reporter Anne Branigin breaks down the key testimony from this week and how the trial is going for each side so far.Today's show was produced by Sabby Robinson.

Did Someone Silence Victim-#Three in the Diddy Trial? Legal Fallout Explained With Attorney Eric Faddis In this episode, former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis joins us to dissect one of the most unsettling developments in the federal trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs — the mysterious disappearance of “Victim-3.” As federal investigators push forward in a sweeping case involving allegations of sex trafficking, coercion, and decades-long abuse, a key witness has reportedly gone missing just as their testimony could have sealed major parts of the prosecution's case. We explore the legal implications of a missing victim in a high-profile federal case — what it means for the prosecution, how it might affect the defense strategy, and whether this could open the door for obstruction charges. Could this be witness intimidation? A calculated disappearance? Or is something even more nefarious in play? Eric Faddis helps us unpack what's actually happening in the courtroom and behind the scenes. What tools does the DOJ have when a cooperating witness suddenly vanishes? What precedent exists for trying a case when critical voices go silent? And how will the court protect remaining witnesses moving forward? We also talk about how this disappearance plays into public narratives around powerful defendants like Combs, and whether this incident signals a bigger unraveling in the case—or a desperate attempt to hold it together. If you've been following the Diddy case and want to know what this means for its future, you won't want to miss this legal deep dive.

What really happened between Sean “Diddy” Combs and Kid Cudi? In this powerful episode, we unpack Kid Cudi's federal court testimony in the ongoing trial against Combs, which includes disturbing allegations of retaliation, intimidation, and psychological warfare. According to Cudi, his brief relationship with Cassie Ventura became a trigger for a series of disturbing events—starting with an alleged break-in at his home and ending with his Porsche torched in his driveway, all allegedly orchestrated to send a message. Using forensic testimony and real-time courtroom reporting, we break down Cudi's account of the firebombing, the eerie warning Cassie gave him beforehand, and the psychological tension during his face-to-face encounter with Combs afterward. Was the apology years later genuine—or part of a larger manipulation strategy? Former FBI profiler Robin Dreeke weighs in with expert behavioral analysis, revealing how symbolic violence, emotional isolation, and strategic silence often function in high-control individuals. This isn't just about celebrity drama—it's about power, fear, and the way they intersect behind the scenes. If you're following the Diddy trial, this is essential viewing for understanding one of the most chilling witness accounts to date. #diddytrial #kidcuditestimony #firebombing #federalcourt #cassieventura #robindreeke #behavioralanalysis #celebritycrime #coercivecontrol #truecrimepodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A Shocking Look Inside Diddy's Closet of Secrets... & Baby Oil In today's explosive developments from the federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, we break down everything revealed inside his Miami mansion—straight from the courtroom. Federal Agent Gerard Gannon took the stand and physically presented the evidence seized in the 2024 raid: loaded firearms with defaced serial numbers, cocaine and MDMA tucked into designer bags, stacks of baby oil and lubricants, and cell phones hidden inside Balenciaga boots. Prosecutors argue that this wasn't just bizarre—this was infrastructure for a larger pattern of coercion and sex trafficking. We'll walk you through exactly what was found, where it was found, and why prosecutors believe it paints a picture of calculated control. From sex paraphernalia to drug paraphernalia, this wasn't just a party—it was allegedly a power mechanism. Then we examine the counterpunch from the defense, which focused not on denying the existence of these items, but on criticizing the raid itself—its SWAT-like tactics, its militarized optics, and the absence of weapons on Combs's staff. Whether you're following the case as a legal junkie, a fan of forensic psychology, or just want to understand the shocking level of detail involved in this investigation, this is a breakdown you don't want to miss. #truecrime #SeanCombs #DiddyTrial #federaltrial #forensicevidence #cassieventura #georgekaplan #diddyevidence #traumabonding #celebrityjustice Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
