Diddy’s ex-assistant, Capricorn Clark testifies that he kidnapped her and threatened to k!ll rapper Kid Cudi

The s£x trafficking trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs continued on Tuesday, May 27, in Manhattan federal court, with his former assistant Capricorn Clark testifying that he repeatedly threatened her life, subjected her to lie detector tests, and forced her at gunpoint to join him in an apparent plot to k!ll rapper Kid Cudi.

Clark was the 17th witness called by the government to testify in its case against Combs, who has been charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in pr0st!tution.

Federal prosecutors say that for decades, Combs abused, threatened, and coerced women to participate in marathon s£xual encounters called “freak offs” and used his business empire, along with guns, kidnapping, and arson, to conceal his crimes.

Combs has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, the 55-year-old hip-hop mogul could face life in prison.

Capricorn Clark testified that in 2004, on her first day on the job at Combs’s Bad Boy Entertainment, he threatened her when he found out she had previously worked at Death Row Records, a label founded by Combs’s rival Marion “Suge” Knight. She said Combs and a member of his security staff took her at 9 p.m. to Central Park.Nearby concert tickets

“He told me that he didn’t know that I had anything to do with Suge Knight and if anything happened, he would have to k!ll me,” Clark testified.

At another point during her employment, Clark was accused by Combs of stealing jewelry and was administered a lie detector test by members of Combs’s security team in a vacant office building. If she failed, Clark said, she was told they “would throw me in the East River.”

“I was petrified,” Clark said.

She said she was given lie detector tests for five straight days before she was allowed to return to work.

Clark also testified that she typically worked 20-hour days for Combs, starting work at 7 a.m. and ending around 4 a.m. She barely slept, she said, and the stress of the job led her to develop alopecia.

Clark said that part of her job involved setting up hotel rooms reserved for Combs using the aliases Frank Black or Frank White ahead of his arrival. She would unpack his belongings, including baby oil, lubricant, drugs and cameras, as well as IV drips, she told the court. And she would sweep the hotel rooms after he left.

Two other former assistants who previously testified about working for Combs, David James, and George Kaplan,  described similar job responsibilities, including stocking hotel rooms with what prosecutors say were supplies for his “freak offs.”

Clark testified that Combs occasionally asked her to get him drugs, including ecstasy and prescription medication in her name. She told the court that Combs once asked her to get him coc@ine while they were in the south of France in 2006.

Clark broke down in tears as she recalled an instance in 2006 in his Miami home, where she said an enraged Combs shoved her after telling her she could not leave the house while working for him.

“See, your problem is you want a life, and you can’t have that here,” Combs told Clark, she testified.

She said she told Combs’s chef that “I hate it here,” and the message was relayed to Combs.

“If you hate it here, get the f*** out of my house,” Combs told Clark as he pushed her around the house, she recalled to the jury.

“That was crossing my boundary,” Clark said in court.

Last week, Scott Mescudi, better known as the rapper Kid Cudi, testified about his relationship with Combs’s ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

In her testimony Tuesday, Clark said that after Combs found out that Ventura was dating Kid Cudi, he showed up at Clark’s house on Dec. 22, 2011, with a gun in his hand.

“He just said, ‘Get dressed, we’re going to go kill [him],’” Clark testified.

When she said she did not want to go, Combs said, “I don’t give a f*** what you want to do, go get dressed,” Clark told the court.
