4
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.359
The Daily Podcast bringing you every raw, unfiltered detail from
5
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:33.679
the Sean Dittycombs sex trafficking and racketeering trial. I'm Nate Oliver,
6
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:37.759
reporting from outside the Manhattan Federal Courthouse on Wednesday May
7
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:42.240
twenty eighth, day eighteen of this headline grabbing case. After
8
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.240
a four day holiday break, the trial returned with a vengeance,
9
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.000
delivering some of the most harrowing and revealing testimony yet.
10
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:55.359
The star witness Capricorn Clark, Ditty's former executive assistant, longtime confidante,
11
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.280
and a key link between Ditty and Cassie Ventura. Clark's
12
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.240
time on the stand peeled back the curtain on the
13
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.519
inner workings of the Combes Empire and revealed just how
14
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:09.239
far Ditty's jealousy, control and threats allegedly went. Clark began
15
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:13.200
by describing her relationship with both Ditty and Cassie, explaining
16
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:16.239
that she was like a sister to Cassie and had
17
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:19.840
worked for Ditty for years managing everything from his travel
18
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.040
to his private affairs. She told the jury that in
19
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:27.040
December twenty eleven, after Ditty discovered Cassie's relationship with rapper
20
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.480
Kid Cuddy, he showed up at Clark's house in Los Angeles.
21
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.040
Furious and armed. He came to my house with a gun.
22
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.920
Clark testified, her voice trembling. She said Diddy forced her
23
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:41.000
into his car, threatening her and demanding she help him
24
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.200
confront Cutty at his Hollywood Hills home. I was petrified,
25
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.200
she said, I felt like I was being kidnapped. Clark
26
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:53.040
described calling Cassie in a panic, warning her Puff came
27
00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.799
to my house with a gun. She could hear Cuddy
28
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:00.439
in the background, alarmed, asking he's in my house. Clark
29
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:04.519
told Cassie stop him. He's going to get himself killed.
30
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.520
Clark recounted that as they drove to Cuddy's home, Diddy
31
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:12.919
was ranting, screaming, and waving the gun around. He ordered
32
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:16.159
Clark to fetch Cassie, threatening if you don't convince him,
33
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.919
I'm going to kill all you mother efforts. Clark testified
34
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:23.639
that she felt trapped and terrified, forced to act as
35
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:26.879
a go between in a confrontation that could have turned deadly.
36
00:02:27.879 --> 00:02:29.919
He told me to tell Cassie that he has me
37
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:31.560
and he's not going to let me go until I
38
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:35.000
come get her, Clark said. She described the fear and
39
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:38.759
helplessness of being caught in Ditty's rage, knowing that any
40
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.520
wrong move could set him off. The drama didn't end there.
41
00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:45.560
Clark described returning to Ditty's house with Cassie, where she
42
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:48.960
found Ditty in a robe and underwear, still seething. He
43
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:53.360
immediately began kicking Cassie over and over. Clark testified, her
44
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.039
voice breaking as she recalled the violence. It was chaos.
45
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:00.240
He was screaming, cursing, and no one stopped him, not
46
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:04.840
the bodyguard, not anyone. Clark said she was petrified and
47
00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:08.919
felt trapped in Ditty's world, where fear and intimidation ruled.
48
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:12.199
You didn't say no to Puff, You just did what
49
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.919
you were told, she said. Clark also described a separate
50
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:19.400
incident in Miami Beach where Ditty, frustrated after a long night,
51
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.080
charged at her and pushed her through the house and
52
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.520
out the door, yelling, if you hate it here, get
53
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.599
the f out of my house. Clark said she was
54
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.719
pushed roughly twenty five yards before a bodyguard intervened and
55
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:34.039
told her to pack her things. She recounted that Ditty's
56
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:38.199
anger was unpredictable and explosive, and that even his closest
57
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.879
employees lived in fear of being fired or worse, he
58
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.280
could be charming and generous one minute and then turn
59
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:48.159
on you in a heartbeat, Clark said. Throughout her testimony,
60
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.199
Clark painted a picture of a workplace ruled by paranoia
61
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:54.879
and suspicion. She described how Ditty would make employees take
62
00:03:54.919 --> 00:04:00.400
polygraph tests, monitor their communications, and demand absolute life loyalty.
63
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.439
Clark said she was often caught in the crossfire of
64
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:07.560
Ditty's volatile relationships, forced to mediate between him and Cassie
65
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:10.680
or other women. She recalled one night when Ditty made
66
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:13.520
Cassie perform humiliating acts in front of a group of women,
67
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.160
then turned to the group and said, did you see that?
68
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:20.040
That's why you don't have a man. Clark said the
69
00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:24.040
emotional toll was immense, and that she often felt powerless
70
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:28.000
to help Cassie or protect herself. Clark's testimony also touched
71
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.680
on the infamous fire bombing of Kid Cuddy's Porsche. She
72
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.639
said she called Cassie to warn her that Ditty was
73
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.959
out of control and that she feared something terrible would happen.
74
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.639
Clark told the jury that after the arson, Cassie was
75
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:46.360
terrified and believed Ditty was capable of anything. The prosecution
76
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:49.839
is using Clark's account to reinforce the narrative that Ditty's
77
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:54.639
jealousy and rage weren't just private matters. They spilled into violence, intimidation,
78
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:59.000
and threats against anyone who crossed him. On cross examination,
79
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:02.759
Ditty's attorney Mark Agnifilo pressed Clark about her motives and
80
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.920
her ongoing relationship with Ditty after leaving his employment. He
81
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:09.480
presented a text message from Clark to Ditty in twenty
82
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:13.199
twenty one in which she wrote, I had the biggest
83
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:17.120
crush on you. Clark said she didn't recall sending the message,
84
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.360
but admitted she once held Ditty in high regard. The
85
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:24.000
defense suggested Clark's testimony was colored by personal feelings in
86
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:28.079
business disputes, but Clark insisted her fear and trauma were real.
87
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.000
I did not want to go and it was not
88
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.360
my choice, sir, she told Agnafilo, and asked why she
89
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.439
accompanied Ditty to confront kid Cutty. Agnafilo also tried to
90
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:41.600
suggest that Clark's testimony was motivated by a desire for
91
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.439
attention or revenge, but Clark stood firm, saying she was
92
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:50.240
testifying because the truth needs to be told. The courtroom
93
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.040
was tense as Clark broke down while discussing the emotional
94
00:05:53.040 --> 00:05:56.040
toll of her years working for Ditty. She described the
95
00:05:56.120 --> 00:05:59.920
job as a business education, but said the abuse, paul
96
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.920
tests and constant suspicion left her petrified. She said she
97
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.360
often felt like she was walking on eggshells, never knowing
98
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:13.120
when Ditty's mood would shift. It was exhausting mentally and physically.
99
00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:18.240
Clark said, you never really relaxed. Clark's testimony was supported
100
00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.839
by text messages, emails, and corroborating accounts from other former
101
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:27.439
employees and insiders. Prosecutors highlighted Clark's unique position as both
102
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.160
a confidant and a victim, arguing that her story was
103
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:34.560
key to understanding the culture of fear and control that
104
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:49.040
permeated Ditty's empire more in a moment. The day's testimony
105
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:52.720
sent shockwaves through the media and hip hop world. Even
106
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:56.439
fifty Cent, Ditty's longtime rival, took to social media to
107
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.000
mock Ditty's tough guy talk. As Clark's allegations of god
108
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.160
threats in violence made headlines. The trial's celebrity web continues
109
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:07.399
to grow, with more insiders and former employees expected to
110
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:10.959
testify in the coming days. Also scheduled for testimony this
111
00:07:11.000 --> 00:07:14.920
week are representatives from the Los Angeles Police and fire departments,
112
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.199
who are expected to provide official records and first hand
113
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.399
accounts of the break in at Kid Cuddy's house and
114
00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:25.040
the arson attack on his Porsche. Their testimony could lend
115
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.439
critical credibility to the stories of violence and threats that
116
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:32.319
have already rocked the courtroom. As the trial barrels forward,
117
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.920
the prosecution is methodically building a case that Ditty orchestrated
118
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:43.480
a criminal enterprise of abuse, intimidation, and sexual exploitation. The defense, meanwhile,
119
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:46.759
continues to argue that Ditty's world was wild but consensual,
120
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.839
and that the government is criminalizing a swinger lifestyle and
121
00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:54.959
using reicho laws in an unprecedented way. That's where we
122
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.959
stand as the trial enters another pivotal day tomorrow. I'll
123
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.040
bring you every new revelation, every legal twist, and every
124

rumor from inside and outside the courthouse. I'm Nate Oliver,
