The Secret Life of a Music Mogul's Assistant
New York, USAWed May 21 2025
A former employee of a well-known music producer has spilled the beans about what went down behind the scenes. This person worked as a personal assistant from 2007 to 2009. He had a front-row seat to the drama that unfolded in the life of his boss. The assistant witnessed a lot of things that he now feels he needs to share with the world.
The assistant's name is David James. He had a lot to say about the relationships his boss, Sean "Diddy" Combs, had with various women. When James started his job, Kim Porter was the main girlfriend. But there were others, including a singer named Cassie Ventura. James recalled meeting Cassie for the first time. She had come to spend the weekend with Diddy. The group rented a yacht and went out to dinner and partied. James noted that Diddy was really trying hard to make a good impression on Cassie.
James also shared some interesting conversations he had with Cassie. One time, they were sitting on the dock, smoking cigarettes. Cassie commented, "This lifestyle is crazy. "James admitted that he told Cassie to leave Diddy. But Cassie felt stuck because Diddy had so much control over her life. James also overheard a conversation in the car with Diddy and a business associate. The associate asked about Kim Porter and Cassie. Diddy replied, "Cassie is good. . . I've got her right where I want her. . . "
The assistant also witnessed arguments between Cassie and Diddy. These fights were often about Cassie's career aspirations in modeling and acting. James took the stand after Cassie's former friend, Kerry Morgan, testified in the sex-trafficking trial. Morgan claimed that Diddy physically assaulted her in 2018, which led to the end of her friendship with Cassie. Diddy's lawyer questioned why this would break up their friendship. Morgan replied, "I draw my line at physical abuse. "Morgan and Cassie have not spoken in seven years. Morgan cut off contact after Cassie offered her $30K to sign a non-disclosure agreement about Diddy's alleged abuse.
Before Morgan took the stand, the jury heard more testimony from former Danity Kane singer Dawn Richard. Richard confirmed that she believed Diddy ruined her career after disbanding both Danity Kane and Diddy - Dirty Money. Richard also testified that Diddy threatened her for intervening in his relationship with Cassie. Richard claimed she told Cassie to leave Diddy after witnessing his alleged violent behavior. According to Richard, Cassie was torn. The singer testified that Cassie would listen, but she could see the fear in her eyes.
On Friday, Richard testified that she witnessed Diddy attempt to hit Cassie over the head with a frying pan full of eggs. The next day, Diddy allegedly threatened Richard's life, warning her not to tell anyone. The sex-trafficking trial will resume with James' continued testimony.
The information shared by James and others paints a picture of a complex web of relationships and power dynamics. It raises questions about the influence and control that powerful figures can have over others. It also highlights the importance of speaking out against abuse and standing up for what is right. The trial continues to unfold, and more details are expected to come to light. It is a stark reminder that even in the glamorous world of music and entertainment, dark secrets can lurk beneath the surface.
