On the witness stand today were David James, previously Sean Combs’ personal assistant, followed by Cassie Ventura’s mother, Regina Ventura, and male exotic dancer Sharay Hayes, known as “The Punisher.”

James spoke about Combs’ eating habits, mentioning an incident in London when Combs was dissatisfied with the ketchup’s taste. James recalled Combs instructing him to buy food via Combs’ business but to pay cash for items like baby oil, personal lubricant, and condoms.

Regina Ventura recounted documenting injuries on her daughter Cassie, allegedly inflicted by Combs, and claimed Combs once requested $20,000 for sex tapes involving Cassie.

Court continues Wednesday.
