Sean “Diddy” Combs Jury Hears Of Cassie Ventura Beating At LA Restaurant Attended By Music Superstars & Execs

After a very brief stint on the stand on May 16 at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex-trafficking trial, Making the Band vet Dawn Richard returned today with more testimony of abuse and assault — both observed and experienced.

“He would punch her, choke her, drag her, slap her in the mouth,” Richard told the jury today of the violence she personally witnessed Combs “frequently” unleash against then girlfriend Cassie Ventura.  “I saw him kick her, punch her in the stomach,” the former Danity Kane singer told the Bad Boy Records founder’s sex-trafficking trial at the start of its second week. Richard was on the stand for about 2.5 hours Monday.
