Kerry Morgan, a former friend of Cassie Ventura, testified in a Manhattan federal court that Sean “Diddy” Combs dragged the singer by her hair during a trip to Jamaica, where they were attended a sound clash organized by Diddy along with Supreme Promotions.
According to live updates from Inner City Press on May 19, Morgan recounted the disturbing incident during cross-examination, stating that Combs dragged Cassie down a 50-yard hallway by her hair when the couple visited Jamaica in January 2013 for an impromptu Sound Clash in Half Way Tree. The confrontation reportedly stemmed from an argument rooted in jealousy.
Images of Cassie in Jamaica at the time saw her wearing an edgy hairstyle featuring a shaved side with the rest of her hair styled into a sleek, high bun at the crown of her head.
While being questioned by the prosecution, Morgan said the incident was not about drugs or infidelity, but that Combs was angry because Cassie “spent too long in the bathroom.” The testimony aligns with a pattern of alleged abuse Cassie has previously described, including in her now-settled civil lawsuit against the Bad Boy mogul.
Courtroom dialogue further revealed that Cassie had been attempting to leave Combs around that time, and that he displayed possessive and aggressive behavior, especially when she was seen speaking with other men—including actor Michael B. Jordan.
The testimony painted a harrowing picture of Cassie’s relationship with Combs, touching on topics of jealousy, control, and emotional volatility. When asked about Combs’ relationships with other women, Morgan referred to one as “a little girl,” implying an inappropriate dynamic. “She acts like that. She’s younger than us,” Morgan said, referencing another woman involved with Combs during the same period.
The federal case continues to develop, with Inner City Press providing real-time updates as more witnesses, including former Bad Boy staff, are called to the stand. The trial marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing legal and public reckoning surrounding Combs’ alleged abusive behavior toward women in his inner circle.
