Stylist tells court Combs allegedly attacked and threatened Cassie Ventura
Former Cassie Ventura stylist Deonte Nash testified that he saw "a lot" of blood during one instance in which he alleged Sean Combs attacked his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.
Nash testified that he, along with Ventura and a Combs employee whom the prosecution identified with the pseudonym "Mia" were in Ventura's apartment helping her pack for a music festival when, Nash alleged, Combs arrived, "pulled her by the hair off the couch and hit her," referring to Ventura.
Nash told the court that an "enraged" Combs said, "Y'all got to stop f------ with me."
According to Nash's testimony, Ventura retreated to her bedroom and Combs allegedly followed and "continued to attack Cassie," hitting and kicking her "until her head hit the edge of the bed frame."
Nash testified that "when he saw the blood he just panicked."
The stylist testified that Combs then allegedly told him and "Mia," "Look what y'all made me do."
Nash told the court that he attempted to call 911 but was told to hang up. Combs instead said that Ventura would be taken by his bodyguard, known as D-Roc, to a plastic surgeon, Nash testified.
Nash further testified that on another occasion, he was with Ventura in her apartment when Combs allegedly came in, saying that he wanted to talk to her.
"He grabbed her as they were walking up. He grabbed her by the hair and said, 'You got to get the f--- out of my house,'" Nash testified.
Nash told the court that he tried to leave but Combs' security guards allegedly blocked him, preventing him from leaving, and told him to "wait for Puff to come down."
Later, when Nash and Ventura were able to leave and had driven off, Combs allegedly called and told him to pull over, Nash told the court.
"He came to the window and began to talk to Cassie," Nash testified, telling the court that Combs told Ventura "that she f----- up. That he was going to put her sex tapes on the internet. He was going to release them on schedule," referring to the video recordings of sexual encounters known as "freak-offs."
"He was going to start by sending them to her parents' jobs and her brother was a b---- and that Puff was the only one that protected her," Nash testified Combs told Ventura.
Nash testified that Ventura was in tears and that he told her to let Combs release the tapes because "he's on them, too." Ventura allegedly responded that the tapes depicted her "having sex with the other guys" and "that she didn't want to" release them, Nash told the court.
Nash testified that Ventura told him that she participated in the "freak-offs" because "Puff wanted her to."
