Dawn Richard Testifies Diddy Hit Cassie Ventura With Skillet of Eggs | E! News

    Singer Don Richard testifies that Shaun Diddy Combmes hit Cassie Ventura with a skillet full of eggs. Danny Kane alum Don Richard, who began working with Shawn Diddy Combmes while competing on his show Making the Band in 2004, took the stand after Cassie wrapped her testimony May 16th. Richard joined Combmes group Diddy Dirty Money after Danny Kane disbanded. While on the stand, she told jurors that she saw Combmes hit Ventura with a skillet full of eggs at his Los Angeles home in 2009. Richard testified per NBC News. He came downstairs asking where his phone was, and he threw her to the ground. He attempted to kick her. She fell to the ground and went into the fetal position, literally trying to hide her head. In addition to striking Ventura with the skillet, Richard said Combmes put his arm around the singer’s neck and took her upstairs before she heard glass breaking. Richard added, “I was scared for her. I was scared to do anything.” Richard’s testimony in Comb’s ongoing trial comes 8 months after she accused the rapper in a lawsuit of subjecting her to years of inhumane working conditions which included groping, assault, and false imprisonment. The lawsuit filed in September obtained by E-News stated, “Mr. Combmes frequently held meetings with Ms. Richard wearing only his underwear despite Ms. Richard’s protests and repeated requests for him to put on clothing.” In her filing, the 41-year-old also alleged that Combmes ordered her to strip down to her underwear, made demeaning remarks about her body, and entered her dressing room unannounced while she was unclothed and touched her without her permission under the guise of showing the stylist what to do. Richard accused Combmes of sexual harassment, gender discrimination, and a hostile work environment by being exposed to sex trafficking and sex acts. She also alleged that she was a victim of false imprisonment. In her suit, Richard stated she was seeking compensatory and punitive damages, as well as other costs for post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and emotional suffering, and financial losses she suffered as a result of Comb’s alleged behavior. Combmes has denied her allegations. His lawyer told E-News in September, “Mr. Combmes is shocked and disappointed by this lawsuit. In an attempt to rewrite history, Don Richard has now manufactured a series of false claims, all in the hopes of trying to get a payday, conveniently timed to coincide with her album release and press tour. The rapper’s attorney added, “It’s unfortunate that Ms. Richard has cast their 20-year friendship aside to try to get money from him, but Mr. Combmes is confidently standing on truth and looks forward to proving that in court.

    1. This man’s legacy is how he destroyed lives. It’s interesting how none of his artists financially gain or was able to stay in the business, he was the only one who financially profit from his dealing. He stole so much talent and made money

    2. Were the dire wolves at the court too? If not, there's not enough evidence! Satan would solve this case in seven days! My daddy, eternal father, knows the truth! Praise me! 😊

    3. another lie she did for Cassie to get her under table pay off from hitting the stand with more lies…she did this to get 20M as Cassie got. Cassies lawyers had this all planned for this women to hit stand with more lies, stages framing up this man on so much…WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU LYING BLACK RACE ON THIS ONE MAN!!!

    4. SHE TESTIFIED HE TRIED WHY DID YALL REMOVE THE WORD TRIED YALL NEED TO FOLLOW INNER CITY PRESS BECAUSE CLEARLY SHE SAID TRIED WOW SMFH SPIN THE NARRATIVE YALL BIAS ASF PUT THE WORD TRIED TO GIVE PEOPLE THE PROPER CONTEXT

    5. Yes, he is an evil abuser. Diddy have only date 1 black woman in last 30 years Kim Porter whom he has 3 children. Everyone else is Latina, it's obvious Diddy never had an interested in Dawn Richards she is hoping to get money. Dawn desperate for money, she's broke.

    6. Dawn need to really cut it out, wasnt she the one mad when Aubrey was saying stuff abt the buisness end?She dispelled all those things until Cassie got a settlement.If she was uncomfortable iafter Danity kane she didnt have to work with him, but got in another group with him and was still writing for him up until the time the accusations came out….Cant nobody make you take your clothes off and not threaten you and you just do it, at some point ppl have to take accountability for themselves…..I hope her case gets thrown out

    7. Dawn always had a subtle beauty to her when she was working with Diddy a "there's something about her" beauty which always lead me to believe he was really attracted & drawn to her beauty which is understated but comparable to Cassie, Kim, JLo, Sarah & the others yet it isn't predicated by her fair skin tone & hair texture or color.

      In her grown woman we all see it & it confirms for me that he was abusive to her because she did not want to play his games. If you look at all his Dirty Money pics, he is always draped over, hugged up on, touching or standing closer to Kalenna while a few steps away from or barely touching Dawn in a way that suggests deliberate alieniation, separation & isolation for dramatic purposes as a unspoken statement.

      It's almost as if he delibrately tried to isolate & make her feel bad about not wanting to be with him regardless of his fame, wealth & promises re: her future & identifying that his Azz was Mad & disgusting & only wanting to deal with him for business purposes. Kalenna has the look of an abused or victimized person. I am certain she was trafficked now.

    8. Respect,backlash over my comment n she chose to stay,her husband knew,didn’t say anything about abuse he seen 🤔 n there’s definitely more and 911 works 24/7/ample opportunity to relocate but all watched,stayed doing things along with sean and now all Against sean n media needs to solve shanquella/robert case and guess justice doesn’t matter for them

    9. Grown men aren't stopping Diddy, but they want the tiniest women to be heroes. Those same men will attack them, too, before helping them (the women and some teen boys/men.
