Capricorn Clark

Capricorn Clark testified on Day 14 about her work for Sean Combs and Bad Boy, including personal-assistant duties, hotel preparations, security personnel, drugs, and cash. She said that after jewelry went missing, security officer Paul Offert took her to repeated lie-detector sessions and told her she could not leave. Clark also said she had received no compensation beyond a settlement agreement and had no pending civil case against Combs.

Clark described December 2011 events in which she said Combs came to her apartment carrying a gun, took her to Scott Mescudi's home, and later kicked Casandra Ventura outside a Los Angeles residence. She qualified that she probably could have left the car at Mescudi's residence but did not.

Defense counsel questioned Clark about her long relationship and employment history with Combs, her work with Ventura, and later messages seeking renewed contact. Clark maintained her account of the gun and the events at Mescudi's home. On redirect, she testified that she explored possible work with Combs' attorneys because she believed it was safer not to be viewed as a threat, and she said Combs controlled approval of Ventura's appearance, songs, and events. Brief recross addressed her work as a strategy consultant and a prior conversation with Ventura.
