The federal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs opened with a wave of explosive testimony from individuals who had worked closely with him, lived in his inner circle, or claimed to have witnessed patterns of abuse, intimidation, and secrecy.
Early testimony from former assistants like George Kaplan revealed a behind-the-scenes look at Combs’ lifestyle—where hotel rooms were staged with baby oil and Astroglide, where threats over minor mistakes were common, and where staff were expected to pick up drugs and clean up scenes before hotel employees could enter.
Kaplan’s account included setting up luxury stays under fake names, witnessing Cassie’s bruised face after a private jet incident, and eventually quitting after feeling complicit in covering up the behavior.
Celebrity makeup artist Mylah Morales added emotional weight to the case by recalling a 2010 Grammy weekend when she claimed she found Cassie with a swollen face and knots on her head after an altercation with Combs.
Morales testified that she feared for her life, took Cassie to her home, and had a doctor examine her for a concussion.
Hotel executive Frédéric Zemmour corroborated the use of aliases and unusual reservation requests tied to Combs’ stays, including rooms being taken out of service and maintained at high temperatures.
Meanwhile, forensic agents like Special Agent Josh Croft testified to recovering data from Cassie’s older laptops, including backup evidence linked to a profile under the alias “Frank Black.” Perhaps the most headline-grabbing testimony came from artist Scott Mescudi, known as Kid Cudi, who described his relationship with Cassie and a series of disturbing events.
Mescudi testified that after Combs found out about their relationship, Cassie appeared visibly shaken, and his home was broken into.
Later, his Porsche was set on fire using a Molotov cocktail.
He described a confrontation at Soho House where Combs appeared calm, almost villain-like, and later apologized years afterward.
Mescudi claimed Cassie told him about abuse but not and said the overwhelming tension and fear eventually ended their relationship.
Other key testimonies included forensic techs explaining how deleted data was recovered from laptops, security experts detailing surveillance manipulation, and insiders revealing how money flowed through Combs Enterprises with selective oversight.
Across all witnesses, a pattern emerged of loyalty turning into silence, fear, and, in some cases, guilt.
The prosecution has leaned heavily on firsthand accounts to construct a narrative of control and image protection, while the defense continues to paint the accusers as biased, conflicted, or seeking fame.
As the trial progresses, the witness testimonies have painted a consistent yet deeply disturbing portrait of the power dynamics around Sean Combs.
