Summary
David James, Sean Combs' former personal assistant, took the witness stand today, followed by Cassie Ventura's mother, Regina Ventura, and male exotic dancer Sharay Hayes, whose nickname is "The Punisher."
James testified about Combs' dietary preferences, recalling a time in London when Combs "was not happy" because the ketchup did not taste good. James said Combs instructed him to purchase food through Combs' company but to use cash for items such as baby oil, personal lubricant and condoms.
Regina Ventura testified she documented her daughter Cassie's injuries, allegedly caused by Combs, and said Combs once demanded $20,000 in exchange for sex tapes featuring Cassie.
