According to sources close to the family, the daughters were present during this testimony but abruptly left the room when the details became too graphic.
“It was completely overwhelming for them,” an onlooker said. “They’re still young and these are horrific things being said about their father.”
Later in court, Comb’s ex Cassie Ventura testified, revealing the degrading and controlling behavior she says she endured during her 11-year relationship with the rapper, which began when she was 19 and he was 37.
She said she was forced to participate in what Combs infamously dubbed ‘Freak offs’ – group sex scenarios involving escorts and strangers.
“I wanted to make him happy,” she told the jury. “I didn’t know what ‘No’ could turn into. Make the wrong face, and the next thing I knew, I would get hit in the face.”
The courtroom grew even more tense when previously unseen CCTV footage was played, showing Combs violently assaulting Ventura outside a hotel room in 2016.
While the rest of the courtroom looked on in silence, Combs’ daughters reportedly kept their heads bowed throughout.
“They were clearly shaken but stayed seated during the video,” a court reporter said. “They looked like they were doing everything they could not to fall apart.”
