Celebrity stylist Deonte Nash testified as the defense continued cross-examination in the sex trafficking trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs. Nash said Combs physically abused Cassie Ventura, threatening her career and reputation with recordings of their “freakoffs.” Nash described incidents in which Combs hit Cassie, grabbed her by the hair, and bashed her head into a bed frame. He said he intervened multiple times.

Combs’ ex-girlfriend Gina Huynh, who goes by Virginia V, alleged in a 2019 interview that Combs stomped on her stomach and punched her in the head during their five-year relationship.

Theories continue to circulate about why Victim-3 will not testify. She apparently changed her mind and does not want to take the stand. Many refer to the unidentified woman as “Gina.” Combs’ former assistant George Kaplan recently testified that he saw Combs throw apples at Gina at his home in Miami.

Meanwhile, the defense raised concerns about limited access to Combs at the Metropolitan Detention Center. Another key witness, “Mia”—a pseudonym for Combs’ former assistant and alleged victim—is expected to testify through Friday.
