Singer Dawn Richard Says Sean “Diddy” Combs Threatened Her With Death After She Saw Him Assault Cassie

During her testimony on Monday, Richard said Combs told her and another woman who saw the attack that “we could go missing” if either revealed what they saw.

Richard testified that Combs made the threat the day after she witnessed the Bad Boy Records founder punch and kick Casandra “Cassie” Ventura after taking a swing at her with a skillet. Richard disclosed the alleged threat as she returned to the witness stand to kick off the second week of testimony in Combs’ sex trafficking and racketeering trial in Manhattan federal court. During four days of testifying last week, Cassie said she wanted a loving relationship in her nearly 11 years with Combs but was instead subjected to repeated drug-fueled “freak-offs” with male sex workers that left her too exhausted and damaged to pursue her music career.
