Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ ex-assistant Capricorn Clark alleged in court that the music mogul threatened to kill her on her first day of work.
According to Fox News, in 2004 Clark arrived for her first day of work as Combs’ assistant, her new boss took her for walk in Central Park, and after he discovered Clark once worked for Death Row Records boss Suge Knight, a rival of Combs’ Bad Boy Records, the rapper told Clark he would kill her if “anything happened.”
Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani described Capricorn’s testimony as “the most explosive” yet in the trial, telling Fox News Digital that, as the third assistant witness to take the stand, their statements had the strongest impact so far.
“When Combs found out that she previously worked for Suge Knight and Death Row, on her first day, Combs said that if anything happened, he would kill her. This was the beginning of criminal threats and other violent activity,” Rahmani said.
Clark further alleged that she was forced to take a five-day lie detector test after jewelry went missing and detailed how Combs allegedly showed up at her residence with a gun to “kill” musician Kid Cudi, who was dating Combs’ on-again-off-again ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
“Combs accused Clark of stealing diamond jewelry,” Rahmani said. “His security locked her in an office and administered a lie detector test. They told her that if she failed, they would throw her in the East River. They took her to the same office and questioned her with a lie detector for five days straight. That’s kidnapping and a racketeering act.”
Rahmani stated that Clark’s allegations of obtaining both illegal and prescription drugs for her former boss, using prescriptions issued in her name, constitute “drug trafficking and another RICO predicate.”
Rahmani noted that the defense “scored some points” when Clark’s wrongful termination came up in court and she admitted she had had a crush on Combs and tried to rejoin his staff last year.
“Clark was represented by Bryan Freedman, Justin Baldoni’s lawyer, and in that meeting, she said that Diddy wouldn’t be in this mess if he had kept her around and that Ventura wasn’t good for Combs,” Rahmani said. “The defense is arguing that Clark is a disgruntled former employee who wants money and revenge, and who is jealous of Ventura.”
