Capricorn Clark

Ms. Steiner on Direct Examination

Ms. Clark graduated from high school and got an internship at Def Jam Records. Both of her parents died shortly after. After college she signed with Death Row Records. Suge Knight is the father of her best friend’s children. 

Ms. Clark met Sean Combs in 2001 or 2002 through a mutual friend. 

Ms. Clark worked as his personal assistant from 2004 to 2006, as the marketing director for Sean John Women’s, 2006 to 2007, and then global brand director from 2007 to 2012. Clark was Ventura’s creative director from 2011 to 2018. 

As a personal assistant Ms. Clark worked from 9am to 4am, daily, with no breaks. Most days she only slept for four hours. Ms. Clark developed alopecia, which is a stress-induced condition, where you get bald patches on your head. 

Salary was $65,000 a year and no overtime. Vashta Dunlap, Head of Human Resources, met with Mr. Combs and Ms. Clark.  Ms. Dunlap calculated Ms. Clark’s overtime per three-month period, and she was owed $80,000 for each period in her assistant era. 

Mr. Combs ripped up the paper and Ms. Clark wasn’t paid the overtime. 

Ms. Clark said she and Sean Combs were “super platonic friends.” Ms. Clark testified that on her very first day working with Mr. Combs, she was taken to Central Park after nine at night. Ms. Clark alleges that Mr. Combs told her that “he didn’t know she had anything to do with Suge Knight. And if anything happened, he would have to kill her.” 

When some high-end jewelry went missing, she was brought to an abandoned building. Paulie, Mr. Combs’ head of security, locked her in a room with a man who gave her a lie detector test for five days straight for hours until Paulie came to bring her home each day. 

The man told her “If you don’t pass the test, they’re going to throw you in the east river.” 

Ms. Clark alleged that Mr. Combs came to her apartment, between 5am and 6am, banging on her door, furious, and he allegedly had a gun. He forced Ms. Clark to come with him to Kid Cudi’s house saying, “Get dressed, we’re going to go kill this n***a,” Clark testified Combs told her.

She corroborated Cassie’s and Kid Cudi’s account about Mr. Combs breaking into Kid Cudi’s house. 

Clark also described traveling with Combs to MTV and in the elevator and overhearing him tell Chris Lighty that he didn’t like nonsense and people, but he did “like guns.” Clark said, claiming Combs “had an issue with 50 Cent.”

Ms. Clark also told the jury she witnessed Cassie being physically assaulted by Mr. Combs more than once. The worst was from the Kid Cudi situation. After she called D-Rock and Paulie trying to get them to help stop Mr. Combs. 

Mr. Combs told her to get out. She called Mrs. Ventura, telling her Mr. Combs was beating the crap out of her daughter, and please help her, to call the police. Ms. Clark told her she was in over her head. She had to walk home.

Ms. Clark also prepared the hotel rooms for freak-offs as the earlier personal assistants did. 

Defense Cross Examination

While Clark was on the stand under cross-examination, Combs’ attorney Marc Agnifilo asked her to confirm that she told defense attorneys at a meeting in April 2024 that Combs “wouldn’t be in this mess if he had kept (her) around” in discussions about her returning to work for him.

Ms. Clark told the jury that Cassie and Mr. Combs were toxic for each other as a couple. Mr. Agnifilo insinuated that Ms. Clark had liked Mr. Combs as more than a friend. She denied that adamantly and was shown text messages. She still didn’t remember.

Ms. Clark agreed that Mr. Combs had started doing more drugs when she started working for him than he was when they were friends in 2001 or 2002.
