The Diddy Trial: Kerry Morgan And David James Give Testimony On Day 6 (5/20/25)

On Day Six of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal trial, Kerry Morgan, former best friend of Cassie Ventura, delivered compelling testimony detailing multiple instances of alleged abuse. Morgan recounted witnessing Combs physically assault Ventura, including a 2016 incident where he reportedly kicked, dragged, and threw an object at her in a hotel lobby, followed by an attempt to break down her apartment door with a hammer. Morgan also testified about a 2018 incident where Combs allegedly choked her and struck her with a wooden hanger, resulting in a concussion. She stated that she received $30,000 from Combs in exchange for signing a non-disclosure agreement, after which her friendship with Ventura ended.


Following Morgan's testimony, David James, Combs' former personal assistant, took the stand to describe the environment within Combs' inner circle. James depicted Combs' world as a "kingdom" where staff were expected to serve him unconditionally. He recounted conversations where Combs referred to Ventura as "young" and "moldable," asserting control over her career and personal life. James also testified that Ventura expressed feelings of entrapment, stating she couldn't leave because Combs controlled her music career, finances, and living arrangements.
