13 Explosive Moments from Capricorn Clark’s Testimony in P. Diddy’s Sex Trafficking and Racketeering Trial

Capricorn Clark, the former assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs, delivered a bombshell day of testimony in federal court, painting a picture of intimidation, violence, and a toxic workplace under the hip-hop mogul. Her account, which included allegations of kidnapping, threats, and witnessing assaults, has become a pivotal part of the government’s racketeering and sex trafficking case against Combs. Here are 13 of the most explosive moments from her time on the stand:

1. A Mafia-Style Threat on Day One

Clark testified that on her very first day working for Combs in 2004, she was taken to Central Park at night by Combs and his security guard “Uncle Paulie.” There, Combs questioned her about her previous work for his rival, Suge Knight, and told her, “If anything happens, I’d have to kill you.” Clark said she took the threat seriously due to Combs’ ongoing feud with Knight.

2. Accused of Stealing Jewelry

Clark recalled being accused of stealing three pieces of expensive jewelry on loan from Jacob the Jeweler. Although she denied the theft, she was subjected to a series of lie detector tests and threatened with being thrown into the East River if she failed.

3. Five Days of Lie Detector Tests

For five consecutive days, Clark was taken to an unfinished floor of a building—later Bad Boy Worldwide’s headquarters—where she was repeatedly hooked up to a lie detector and grilled about the missing jewelry. She described the experience as terrifying and said she was never told if the jewelry was recovered.

4. Grueling Work Conditions

Clark described working from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 a.m., with little sleep and no breaks. She recounted that she was paid $65,000 a year but was denied overtime pay, even after HR calculated she was owed $80,000—an amount Combs allegedly tore up in front of her.

5. Packing Drugs and Surveillance Gear

Clark testified that she routinely packed Combs’ travel bags with drugs (including ecstasy), baby oil, and a small camera. She also booked hotel rooms for Combs and his then-girlfriend Kim Porter, where these items were used.

6. Drug Purchases in Her Name

Clark admitted to purchasing prescription drugs for Combs under her own name in Miami, as well as arranging for security to buy cocaine for him in France.

7. Violence Over Turkey Bacon

In 2006, Clark said Combs became violent with her, charging and pushing her after she complained about working conditions. This incident led her to briefly leave her job.

8. Managing Cassie Ventura

When Clark returned to the fold in 2011, she was managing Cassie Ventura, but Combs maintained strict control over every aspect of Cassie’s life, from her schedule to her hair and makeup.

9. Kidnapping and Armed Threats

Clark described being awakened in December 2011 by Combs banging on her door with a gun, ordering her to get dressed and accompany him to Kid Cudi’s house. She testified that she felt she had no choice and that Combs was “livid” and armed.

10. Kidnapping Cassie and Assault

Clark recounted how, after arriving at Kid Cudi’s house, Combs demanded she bring Cassie to him. When Cassie arrived, Clark witnessed Combs kick her to the ground and continue kicking her down the street.

11. Threats to Release Sex Tapes

Clark testified about an email from Cassie, in which Cassie said Combs was threatening to release sex tapes of her and to harm Kid Cudi.

12. Blacklisted from the Music Industry

After her firing from Bad Boy while on vacation, Clark claimed she was blacklisted in the industry by Combs, and that music executive Jimmy Iovine warned her to “leave Puff alone or it wouldn’t end well.”

13. Cross-Examination: Motives and Biases

On cross-examination, Combs’ defense highlighted Clark’s complicated relationship with her former boss. She admitted to having once had a crush on Combs, wanting to return to work for him, and believing Cassie was “toxic” for Combs. The defense also pointed to her civil lawsuits, suggesting she might have an “axe to grind.”

Analysis and Impact

Clark’s testimony was described by legal experts as “mind-blowing” and “the most colorful” among Combs’ former executive assistants. She corroborated key events described by other witnesses, including Kid Cudi and Cassie Ventura, and outlined a pattern of threats, violence, and control that prosecutors argue is at the heart of their racketeering case.

While the defense scored some points by highlighting Clark’s possible biases and motivations, her narrative provides a chilling look inside Combs’ inner circle. Her account—alongside testimony from other assistants and alleged victims—could prove crucial as prosecutors seek to establish a pattern of criminal conduct under the RICO Act.

The trial continues, with more witnesses expected as the government builds its case against one of the music industry’s most powerful figures.
