MALE STRIPPER TELLS JURY HE SAW COMBS ATTACK VENTURA
A male stripper, Daniel Phillip, testified he had sex with Ventura for money multiple times in 2012 and 2013 while Combs watched and masturbated. He described one episode in which he said Combs threw a liquor bottle in Ventura’s direction, grabbed her by the hair and dragged her screaming into the other room.
Phillip said he heard Combs shouting and slapping Ventura and said she was distraught after he left.
“She literally jumped into my lap and she was shaking, like literally her whole entire body was shaking. She was terrified,” Phillip said.
COMBS ALL SMILES IN COURT
Combs, who has been in prison in Brooklyn since September, wore a beige sweater over a white collared shirt and khakis. He smiled at his mother, who sat in the front row of the courtroom along with six of his children, and blew them a kiss before taking his seat with his lawyers.
Combs left the courtroom for an afternoon lunch break pumping his fist and smiling at his children, one of whom flashed him a heart symbol with her hands.
Outside the courthouse, throngs of Combs supporters and curious onlookers recorded videos on their smartphones as they jockeyed with reporters for a glimpse of Combs’ family.
