Capricorn Clark again testifies that Combs had gun during alleged break-in; court adjourns for the day On redirect examination, federal prosecutors suggested that Capricorn Clark returned to work for Bad Boy Records because Combs allegedly stymied her attempts to work elsewhere in the music industry. “He held all the power as it related to me,” Clark testified through sobs. Prosecutor Mitzi Steiner also sought to reaffirm Clark’s earlier testimony about Combs allegedly carrying a gun from the time he showed up at her apartment to the time they drove to Scott Mescudi’s house.
Capricorn Clark, who worked for Sean “Diddy” Combs for many years, testified at his sex-trafficking trial Tuesday that she was threatened and kidnapped during her tenure with the mogul. The ex-Bad Boy employee shared on the stand that, prior to working for Combs, she worked for Suge Knight at Death Row Records. (Knight and his protégé Tupac Shakur were involved in a years-long feud with Combs and his artist, the Notorious B.I.G., which led to the deaths of both rap icons). “He told me that he didn’t know that I had anything to do with Suge Knight and that if anything happened, he would have to kill me,” Clark claimed in her testimony, adding that she thought he was “very serious.” “I felt like there was some gravitas that he had some issues with Suge,” the ex-assistant said.
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former assistant detailed her chilling experiences working for the music mogul in court Tuesday — including how one of his goons once told her she could wind up getting thrown into the East River. In a scene that could have been straight out of “The Sopranos,” a Combs bodyguard nicknamed “Uncle Paulie” allegedly forced ex-assistant Capricorn Clark to an abandoned Manhattan skyscraper to have her take a lie detector test for five days straight. “He told me that he didn’t know that I had anything to do with Suge Knight and that if anything happened he would have to kill me,” Clark told the jury.
