Cassie Ventura abuse claims took center stage on Day 6 of the Sean “Diddy” Combs trial, as two key witnesses offered powerful testimony supporting the allegations of long-term physical violence. Both Don Rashard and Carrie Morgan testified that they personally witnessed the music mogul assault Cassie during their relationship, adding new layers of credibility and emotional weight to the prosecution’s case.

Carrie Morgan Details Violent Incidents

Carrie Morgan, Cassie Ventura’s former best friend, gave chilling testimony about two separate occasions where she allegedly saw Diddy physically assault Cassie:

• Hollywood Hills Attack: Morgan testified, “I saw him push her… I’m pretty sure he hit her,” referring to an incident at a house Diddy was renting in the Hollywood Hills.
• Jamaica Bar Incident: She described hearing “guttural, terrifying screams” from Cassie while in Jamaica, later discovering they came from Diddy allegedly attacking Cassie in a bar area of the property.

Morgan also recalled the aftermath of the infamous 2016 Intercontinental Hotel “freakoff,” during which Cassie returned home bruised and sporting a black eye. Shortly afterward, Diddy appeared at her apartment door—banging and shouting while holding a hammer. Although the police were called, Cassie declined to press charges, leading to no legal consequences at the time.

In a surprising revelation, Morgan testified that her friendship with Cassie ended in 2018 after Diddy allegedly assaulted her as well—grabbing her by the neck and hurling a wooden hanger at her. Cassie allegedly paid Morgan $30,000 to stay silent, a moment Morgan says ultimately ended their friendship. Despite having cut ties years ago, Morgan insisted she testified out of moral obligation, not personal loyalty.

Don Rashard Testifies Despite Defense Challenges

Earlier in the day, singer Don Rashard, a former member of Danity Kane and Diddy Dirty Money, finished her testimony. Rashard claimed to have seen Diddy strike Cassie on several occasions, including once before a Central Park performance. She stated Cassie hid her injuries with makeup and sunglasses, while Rashard and fellow performer Kalenna Harper wore sunglasses in solidarity.

However, Rashard’s testimony was aggressively challenged by the defense, who pointed out inconsistencies in her prior statements—reportedly altered up to four times over the years. They also suggested that Rashard’s motives were suspect, referencing a past civil suit she filed against Diddy, hinting at possible financial incentives.

Hotel Photos Introduced as Evidence

Visual evidence presented in court backed many aspects of Cassie’s allegations. Photos from the 2016 hotel incident included:

• Baby oil, ketamine, and various prescription drugs.
• A large amount of cash in a fanny pack.
• A strobe light system consistent with Cassie’s prior descriptions of forced participation in so-called “freakoff” parties.

Prosecutors argue that these details reinforce their case that Diddy used drugs and fear to manipulate and control Cassie over an extended period.

Diddy’s Reaction in Court

Throughout the intense testimony, Diddy remained visibly alert in the courtroom—frequently shaking his head, writing notes, and conferring with his legal team. The defense continued to argue that while the relationship may have been turbulent, it was mutually consensual and loving at times.

They leaned into the emotional complexity of Cassie and Diddy’s history to counter the prosecution’s portrayal of a purely abusive dynamic. However, Carrie Morgan’s emotionally detached but consistent account added authenticity that seemed to reinforce Cassie Ventura’s abuse claims.

Conclusion

Day 6 of the Diddy trial was marked by two emotionally charged testimonies that significantly reinforced the narrative of Cassie Ventura abuse claims. Carrie Morgan’s account, especially due to her estranged relationship with Cassie, stood out as a strong corroborative voice. Combined with damning physical evidence, the prosecution’s argument that violence and fear were central to Cassie’s relationship with Diddy appears to be gaining momentum.
