Dawn Richard left court on Friday afternoon after testifying that she saw Diddy physically abuse then-girlfriend Cassie. Richard, who appeared on 'Making the Band 3' with Diddy, told the jury that in one incident, Combs was “screaming, belligerent, asking where his food was and proceeded to hit [Ventura] over the head and beat her."

Richard will return to the stand on Monday.

The first week of testimony at Sean "Diddy" Combs' bombshell sex-trafficking trial has just wrapped.

We'll be back in Manhattan federal court on Monday, when singer Dawn Richard will be back on the stand.

“Over the past five days, the world has gotten to witness the strength and bravery of my wife freeing herself of her past," Cassie Ventura's husband said in a statement, read by attorney Douglas Wigdor.

“I have felt so many things sitting there. I have felt tremendous pride and overwhelming love for Cass. I have felt profound anger that she has been subjected to sitting in front of a person who tried to break her. So to him and all of those who helped him along the way, please know this: You did not. You did not break her spirit, nor her smile, that lights up every room. You did not break the souls of a mother who gives the best hugs and plays the silliest games with our little girls. You did not break the woman who has made me a better man," the statement said.

“Cassie saved Cassie," he added. "She alone broke free from abuse, coercion, violence and threats. She did the work of fighting the demons that only a demon himself could have done to her.”

Dawn Richard testified about how once in 2009 she saw a "belligerent" Sean "Diddy" Combs attack Cassie Ventura.

Richard said Combs was "screaming, belligerent, asking where his food was and proceeded to hit [Ventura] over the head and beat her on the ground in front of us."

Richard said she saw the Bad Boy Records founder get violent with Ventura "often."

Richard — a singer in a band founded by Combs, Danity Kane — described how Combs screamed "where the f--k was his eggs" and then took a skillet with the eggs inside and tried to hit Ventura over the head with the pan.

Ventura managed to partially deflect the pan by balling up into the fetal position on the floor, Richard said.

But then Combs continued the vicious beating by punching and kicking Ventura before putting his arm around her neck, grabbing her hair and dragging her upstairs, Richard testified.

She said she was so shocked and scared that she didn't intervene or go to the police over what she saw, and the next day Combs locked Richard and another person in the recording studio in his house and threatened them.

"He said what we saw was passion and what lovers in passionate relationships do," Richard recalled. "He said [Ventura] was OK and it would be in our best interests if we didn't say anything."

Combs told them he was trying to take them to the top of the industry before menacingly saying, "where he was from, people go missing if they talk," the witness said.

Then he gave them flowers, Richard said.

She said she understood Combs was threatening "death."

Dawn Richard, a sex assault accuser of Sean "Diddy" Combs, has taken the witness stand.

Richard, a singer in the group Danity Kane, founded by Combs, filed suit against him in September, claiming he once broke into her dressing room and groped her breasts and butt. She also allegedly saw Combs once beat up Cassie Ventura.

A man was arrested Friday outside the Diddy trial on Friday, for a second day in a row.

On both days, he was seen screaming and swinging what looks like a rope with a rock tied to the end of it.

Special Agent Yasin Binda testified about how the feds found baby oil, lubricant, drugs and cash stashed all over the hotel room where Sean "Diddy" Combs was staying in New York City to negotiate his surrender in a federal criminal case.

The agents raided room 2115 at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan on Sept. 16, 2024 after Combs' arrest that day, finding bags of Astroglide lubricant and baby oil inside the entryway closet of the room.

They also found more lube in the bath tub and in the nightstand of the room, according to testimony from Binda -- with the Department of Homeland Security -- and photos shown to the jury.

Also a pill bottle of Klonopin written for "Frank Black," an apparently fake name, was found inside a Louis Vuitton bag on the nightstand.

Inside the nightstand drawer, were pink-colored drugs, which were ketamine and MDMA, Binda said.

Jurors were given the bag of pink drugs to look at and pass around.

The feds also found $9,000 cash in the room

During this testimony, Combs put his hand on his forehead and patted his head, while he spoke to his lawyers.

Cassie Ventura called her grueling four days on the stand this week "extremely challenging" but also "remarkably empowering and healing for me," in a statement released by her attorneys following her testimony,

"I hope that my testimony has given strength and a voice to other survivors, and can help others who have suffered to speak up and also heal from the abuse and fear," Ventura, who is eight months pregnant, said.

"For me, the more I heal, the more I can remember. And the more I can remember, the more I will never forget. I want to thank my family and my advocates for their unwavering support, and I’m grateful for all the kindness and encouragement that I have received," the statement added.

"I’m glad to put this chapter of my life to rest. As I turn to focus on the conclusion of my pregnancy, I ask for privacy for me and for my growing family.”

A new witness is set to take the stand after Cassie Ventura's marathon testimony wrapped up after four days.

A law enforcement agent is expected to take the witness stand next.

Cassie Ventura revealed she is likely to receive a settlement of $10 million from the hotel where she was infamously beaten by Sean "Diddy" Combs in a caught-on-video incident.

Ventura told jurors she is in talks with the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles, and both sides had agreed to a settlement of $10 million.

The Bad Boy Records founder was seen in a 2016 video viciously beating Ventura and the video was published by CNN last year.

Cassie Ventura broke into tears on the witness stand Friday when asked about the depraved sex acts Sean "Diddy" Combs allegedly forced her into -- and beatings he inflicted during his twisted "freak-offs."

Prosecutor Emily Johnson asked Ventura about the defense's suggestion that she had "cherished" the highly-choreographed sex sessions where she was allegedly forced to sleep with male escorts as Combs watched.

"How would you describe an escort urinating in your mouth while you were on the floor?" Johnson asked -- drawing a quick objection from the defense, which was sustained, and prompting Ventura to begin crying.

Ventura continued answering questions through tears as Johnson asked her how many times Combs pressured her to participate in a "freak-off" while she had a urinary tract infection.

"Frequently," she responded.

When asked how she felt getting beaten by Combs during the sex marathons, Ventura responded: "Worthless. Um, just like dirt. Like I didn’t matter to him. Like I was nothing. Absolutely nothing."

Sean "Diddy" Combs' volatile moods affected every aspect of his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura's life.

"They affected my whole life, my career, how I felt about myself, my self worth," the R&B singer said.

Ventura, while being questioned by prosecutors after a marathon two-day grilling by defense, also recounted how Combs' desire to hold depraved "freak-off" sex parties consumed their lives.

"If he was in the mood to have a freak off, my work would take the back seat," she said.

Prosecutor Emily Johnson also quizzed Ventura on whether she was actually a willing participant in the "freak-offs," as Combs' defense attorneys tried to imply.

"Throughout 11 years in relationship with Sean, who did you want to have sex with?" Johnson asked.

"Just him," Ventura replied.

"Anyone else?" the prosecutor continued.

"Not at the time," Ventura said.
