Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ trial for sex-trafficking and racketeering is on its seventh day in a New York City federal court, drawing intense public scrutiny over potential violations tied to domestic abuse, mental health deterioration, and possible criminal liability involving wellness negligence and trauma-related disorders.
The 55-year-old music mogul has remained composed and deeply engaged with his legal team, as his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and former protégé Dawn Richard delivered.
Powerful testimony — touching on issues often addressed in trauma therapy, domestic violence wellness programs, and emergency diagnostic evaluations.
Allegations of Abuse, Threats, and Injury: Legal and Medical Implications
Richard testified that Combs made a disturbing threat the day after she witnessed the Bad Boy Records founder allegedly punch and kick Cassie, even swinging a skillet at her — incidents that.
Carry implications for medical malpractice investigations, especially around the failure to report visible injuries, and for domestic abuse legal claims potentially involving mental health insurance coverage or hospital emergency services.
Richard said he told her and another woman who witnessed the alleged attack that “we could go missing” if they didn’t remain silent.
