New evidence emerges in P Diddy’s trial.

Written by on May 20, 2025

Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing serious new allegations in his ongoing sex-trafficking trial in New York. 

A court recently heard that he allegedly attempted to break into his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura’s, apartment using a hammer after a 2016 assault.

Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting individuals for prostitution. If convicted, he could face life in prison.

During Monday’s court proceedings, the jury was shown security footage of the assault that allegedly occurred at the Intercontinental Hotel in 2016. 

Following that incident, Cassie’s former best friend Kerry Morgan testified about the unsettling events that transpired shortly afterwards. 

Morgan described being at Ventura’s Los Angeles apartment when Combs allegedly tried to force his way inside. 

“I watched him banging on the door with a hammer through the peephole,” she said, characterizng the moment as terrifying. She noted that Cassie seemed so emotionally drained at the time that she “didn’t care if he came in and killed her.”

According to reports, police arrived approximately three hours later, but no complaint was filed. Morgan stated that this was not an isolated incident. 

She recounted a trip to Jamaica where Combs allegedly dragged Ventura by her hair down a 50-yard hallway because she was “taking too long in the bathroom.”

Morgan also revealed that she herself had suffered abuse at the hands of Combs. 

In 2018, she testified that he choked her and threw a wooden hanger at her head during a jealous outburst regarding Ventura. As a result, she required urgent medical care for a concussion.

This incident marked the end of Morgan’s 17-year friendship with Ventura. 

She also disclosed that a month later, Ventura met her at a pizza place in West Hollywood and offered her $30,000 to sign a non-disclosure agreement. 

Morgan accepted the offer, and they have not spoken since. “I draw my line at physical abuse,” she told the court.

Following Morgan’s testimony, former personal assistant David James took the stand. 

James recalled working 20-hour days, six to seven days a week for Combs, and shared that a senior staff member once told him, “This is Mr. Combs’ kingdom. We’re all here to serve it.”

James also recounted a disturbing conversation he overheard during a car ride in Manhattan.

When asked about Cassie, Combs allegedly said, “Cassie’s good. I got her right where I want her. She’s young… very moldable.”

The trial is set to resume on Tuesday with further testimony from James.
