Male
Escort
Says
He
Could
Hear
Sean “Diddy”
Combs
Assaulting
Cassie

When Ventura
didn’t
join
Combs
right
when
he
called
for
her
on
one
occasion,
Phillip
testified
May
12
that
Combs
threw
a
liquor
bottle
in
her
direction,
then
grabbed
her
by
her
hair
and
dragged
her
into
the
bedroom.
“She
was
screaming,”
Phillip
said,
and,
from
the
next
room,
”what
I
heard
sounded
like
him
slapping
her.”
Phillip
said
he
heard
Combs
say,
“’I
tell
you
to
come
here,
you
come
here
now,
not
later.’”

Phillip
said
he
was
“terrified”
and
did
not
intervene.

He
further
testified
that
he
overheard
what
sounded
like
Combs
assaulting
Ventura
on
a
separate
occasion
at
the
Essex
House
hotel
in
New
York.
“I
heard
her
yelling, ‘I’m
sorry,
I’m
sorry,’
someone
was
being
slapped
around
and
slammed
around
the
room,”
Phillip
said. “And
I
looked
around
the
corner
and
I
saw
Mr.
Combs
walk
out
of
the
hotel
altogether
without
clothes,
he
might
have
had
a
towel
on.”

Ventura
came
out
of
the
room
and
jumped
into
Phillip’s
lap,
he
testified.
“She
basically
tried
to
convince
me
that ‘it’s
OK’
and ‘I’ll
be
OK,’”
Phillip
continued.
“And
I
said, ‘It
is
not
OK
and
you
need
to
get
help.’”

“I
tried
to
explain
to
her
that
she
was
in
real
danger
if
she
stayed
with
him,”
Phillip
said.

Asked
by
prosecutor

Maureen
Comey
why
he
didn’t
call
the
police,
Phillip
testified
that
he
thought
of
Combs
as
“someone
with
unlimited
power,
and
chances
are,
even
if
I
did
go
to
the
police,
that
I
might
still
end
up
losing
my
life.”
