For weeks now, the trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs has been unfolding in a federal courtroom in New York. The charges are serious: sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transporting individuals to engage in prostitution.
Below is a detailed list of the key witnesses who’ve taken the stand so far—and what they’ve revealed.
🔍 Witness Testimonies (as of May 29, 2025):
Cassie Ventura
Former partner of Combs
🗣️ Testified over four days
📌 Allegations: A decade of abuse, coercion into “freak-offs” (group sex events), physical violence, and threats involving explicit videos.
Deonte Nash
Cassie’s close friend and stylist
🗣️ Testified to seeing Combs attack Cassie, including an incident requiring stitches.
📌 Also said Combs threatened to release sex tapes of her.
“Mia” (Pseudonym)
Former personal assistant to Combs
🗣️ Testified that she was sexually assaulted multiple times.
📌 Described toxic, controlling working conditions including isolation and extreme hours.
Capricorn Clark
Another former assistant
🗣️ Alleged Combs abducted her and forced her to take lie detector tests.
📌 Said he threatened to kill Kid Cudi for allegedly dating Cassie.
Kid Cudi (Scott Mescudi)
Rapper
🗣️ Testified his Porsche was firebombed in 2012.
📌 Believes Combs ordered it due to jealousy over Cassie.
Dawn Richard
Former Danity Kane singer
🗣️ Described Combs trying to hit Cassie with a frying pan.
📌 Said she witnessed multiple incidents of violence.

🗣️ Testified about breaking up a physical fight between Combs and Cassie at the InterContinental in 2016.
Agent Gerard Gannon (Homeland Security)

LAPD Officer & Fire Department Investigator
🗣️ Confirmed the use of a Molotov cocktail in Kid Cudi’s 2012 car fire.
📌 Tied it to ongoing intimidation tactics by Combs.
📅 What’s Next in the Trial?
The prosecution is expected to continue presenting its case into early June, with defense testimony following. The trial is projected to conclude around the 4th of July. Legal experts say it’s unlikely Diddy will testify himself, as it could open him up to serious risk during cross-examination.
Where I Stand
I’ve been watching this unfold closely. And while the court must determine legal guilt, I believe the evidence so far proves his guilt. The consistency, the corroboration, the number of women brave enough to stand up despite the power behind the man they’re accusing—it paints a clear picture.
And I’ll be honest—this trial triggers my inner feminist. It lights up that fire in me that remembers every time a woman was told to be quiet, to stop making waves, to “be careful” around powerful men. It’s not just about Diddy. It’s about the entire system that allows this kind of abuse to stay hidden behind platinum albums and red carpets.
This isn’t just a trial. It’s a reckoning. And for women who grew up in a culture that protected powerful men and silenced victims, it’s about damn time.
