Diddy hit the door of Cassie Ventura with hammer, the court said

Sean “Diddy” Combs is said to have used a hammer to try to break into the apartment of his ex-girlfriend after the now notorious attack in an intercontinental hotel in 2016, a court in New York heard.

Security video of Mr Combs attack on his then girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura has been shown to the jury several times in his process of sex trade.

Mrs. Ventura’s former best friend Kerry Morgan told on Monday how Mr Combs reportedly tried to put his way in the apartment of Ventura in the aftermath and described the incident as frightening.

Mr. Combs, 55, has not guilty of racketeering, sex trade and transport to enter into prostitution. He could face life in prison if he is convicted.

Mrs. Morgan told the court that after the hotel incident she was in the apartment in Los Angeles in Los Angeles in Mrs. Ventura and looked through the viewing hole while Mr Combs “hit the door with a hammer”.

Mrs. Morgan told the court that while it unfolded, she did not think that Mrs. Ventura gave it when Mr. Combs “came in and killed her”.

Mr. Combs did not enter the apartment and police officers arrived about three hours later, said Mrs. Morgan. No complaint has been filed.

The court heard more accusations of violent eruptions by the hip -hop mogul. Mrs. Morgan said that during a vacation in Jamaica she saw him drag Mrs. Ventura a corridor of 50 meters through her hair because she “wore in the bathroom for too long”.

The witness told the court that she had also experienced violence by Mr. Combs, claiming that he choked her and threw a wooden pendant at her head in 2018 while demanding to know with whom Mrs Ventura cheated on him.

The court heard that Mrs. Morgan had a concussion and had to go to urgent care.

The two women were 17 years old best friends, but after that their friendship was over, said Mrs. Morgan.

She told the court that Mrs. Ventura met her about a West Hollywood Pizza place about a month later and offered her $ 30,000 (£ 22,450) to sign a non-public agreement. They agreed and have not mentioned in the seven years since.

“I draw my line to physical abuse,” said Mrs. Morgan.

After Mrs. Morgan resigned from the witness sofa, David James, the former personal assistant of Mr. Combs, testified.

Mr James, who told the court that he often worked 20 hours a day for six to seven days a week, once got a photo of Mr. Combs on his bath boy entertainment office and a high -ranking employee told him: “This is the kingdom of Mr. Combs. We are all there to serve.”

The former assistant also told a conversation that he heard in Manhattan, when he was in an Escalade SUV with Kamme and part of his entourage.

When a friend asked what Mrs. Ventura was, Mr Combs said: “Cassie is good. I got her exactly where I want her, she is young”.

“He said she was very annoying,” Mr James remembers his boss.

The process will continue on Tuesday with Mr James on the witness bank.
