Dawn Richard Testifies Against Diddy in Abuse Case

Dawn Richard Testifies: Diddy Abused Cassie in Front of Her

Pop singer Dawn Richard, once part of the girl group Danity Kane formed by Sean “Diddy” Combs, gave shocking testimony in his ongoing trial.

Dawn Witnessed Diddy’s Violent Attack on Cassie

Dawn described a terrifying incident from 2009. It happened at Diddy’s mansion in Los Angeles. She said Diddy got angry over his breakfast and attacked his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.

Dawn Richard Testifies Against Diddy in Abuse Case

Here’s what she shared:

Diddy shouted about his food.
He tried to hit Cassie with a skillet.
Then, he dragged her by her hair upstairs—right in front of everyone.

Dawn said she was frozen in fear. She didn’t call the police because she had never seen anything like that before.

Diddy Threatened Dawn and Other Witnesses

The day after the assault, Dawn and the others who saw it were called back to Diddy’s house. Once there, he locked them inside a studio and warned them not to say a word about what they had witnessed.

He told them:

“Where I’m from, people go missing if they talk.”

She said it felt like a direct threat to their safety—and it scared her deeply.

Dawn Richard Also Sued Diddy

Apart from her courtroom testimony, Dawn has also filed a civil lawsuit. She claims Diddy groped, assaulted, and forced her to work in degrading conditions while she was part of his music company.

Why Her Testimony Matters

Dawn’s story supports Cassie Ventura’s earlier testimony. Cassie had already accused Diddy of forcing her into drug-fueled sex parties and long-term abuse. Together, these stories are helping the prosecution build a strong case of control, threats, and violence.
