Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial updates: Court is adjourned until Tuesday

The general manager of the L’Ermitage Beverly Hills hotel showed the jury a reservations log with entries that indicated Sean Combs had stayed at the hotel several times.

The log included several of the aliases that previous witnesses have testified Combs used, including Frank Black and Frank White.

The general hotel manager, Frederic Zemmour, said guest profiles include notes. Combs’ guest profile note, which was shown to the jury, included the following: “Always spills candle wax on everything and uses excessive amounts of oil, place room out of order upon departure for deep cleaning.”

The note also instructed reservation takers to authorize an extra $1,000 to cover room damages when Combs stayed at the hotel.

Housekeeping was instructed to put fruit and chocolate in Combs’ room and keep the thermostat at 75 degrees, according to Zemmour's testimony, and to spray air freshener outside any room in which Combs stayed.

Makeup artist Mylah Morales testified that it was Grammy weekend 2010 when she returned to the Beverly Hills Hotel after a night out with Cassie Ventura.

According to her testimony, Morales fell asleep on the couch but “woke up to a little bit of commotion.” Morales told the court that Ventura walked in and headed into the bedroom and Sean Combs entered a moment later.

“Where the f--- is she?” Morales testified an angry Combs asked.

Morales told the court that Combs walked into the bedroom and shut the door. Morales testified that she then heard “yelling and screaming” before Combs allegedly opened the bedroom door and stormed out of the suite.

“I was just frantic and I didn’t know what to do,” Morales testified. “She had a swollen eye and busted lip and knots on her head,” referring to Ventura.

Morales, who testified that she first met Ventura when she was 16 years old, told the court that she took Ventura to her house, where she stayed a few days to recover.

“My friend, who’s a doctor, a medical doctor, I asked him to come the next day to make sure she didn’t have a concussion,” Morales testified. Morales told the court that the doctor suggested Ventura be taken to the emergency room but “it was her wishes not to go to the ER.”

Asked why Morales did not insist that Ventura go, Morales replied, “We were very afraid.” She testified they were “afraid of Sean."

“I feared for my life,” Morales told the court.

Morales and Ventura never again spoke about the alleged incident at the Beverly Hills Hotel, according to Morales' testimony

On cross-examination, Scott Mescudi testified that Cassie Ventura told him about alleged physical abuse she said she suffered at the hands of Sean Combs but that she did not mention sexual abuse.

Defense attorney Brian Steel said both Mescudi and Combs were “played” by the same woman.

“The person who played you, the person who played Sean was Ms. Ventura. True?” Steel asked.

“Yeah,” Mescudi replied.

At the conclusion of cross-examination, Steel thanked Mescudi, who responded, “Yeah, no problem.”

On re-direct examination, Mescudi testified that Ventura told him that Combs “would hit her, sometimes kick her.”

Mescudi told the court that he and Ventura broke up because “things were getting out of hand” and that he felt concerned for his safety and her safety.

“I knew Sean Combs was violent,” Mescudi testified, prompting an objection and a sidebar.

During the SoHo House social club meeting in 2012, when, according to Mescudi's earlier testimony, Combs claimed not to know what Mescudi was talking about regarding the firebombing of his car, Mescudi told the jury that he thought Combs “was lying.”

Kid Cudi’s testimony has concluded. The court is in lunch break.

A couple of days after his Porsche was firebombed, Scott Mescudi, aka rapper Kid Cudi, testified that he called Sean Combs.

“I reached out to Sean Combs after my car had caught fire and finally told him we needed to meet up and talk,” Mescudi told the court. “He had been wanting to talk to me. After the fire I said, 'this is getting out of hand.'”

When prosecutor Emily Johnson asked why Mescudi called Combs regarding the firebombing of his car, he replied, “I knew he had something to do with it.” The defense objected and the judge instructed the jury to disregard the response.

Mescudi testified that he and Combs arranged to meet at the SoHo House social club in Los Angeles, where Mescudi testified that he saw Sean Combs “standing there staring out the window with his hands behind his back, like a Marvel supervillain.” The remark earned a chuckle in the courtroom.

“We discussed the whole story about how me and Cassie first started to date to what it was to how it ended. His whole point was, you know, we were homies. She was my girl. I let him know that she told me they were broken up,” Mescudi testified.

Mescudi told the court that Combs’ demeanor during their meeting was “very calm,” which Mescudi found “off-putting”: “It was weird that he was so calm,” Mescudi testified.

Mescudi testified that when the meeting ended, “We stood up, shook hands and as I was shaking his hand I said, ‘What are we going to do about my car?’”

“He looked right back at me, very cold stare, and said ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about,’’ Mescudi told the court.

Mescudi testified that he withdrew his hand, whereupon Combs asked, “I thought we were cool. Do we have a problem?” Mescudi testified that he confirmed that Combs was giving his word that he didn’t burn his car.

Mescudi told the court that a couple of years later, he saw Combs again at the SoHo House in Los Angeles.

“He was with his daughter and he pulled me to the side and basically apologized for everything. He said ‘Man I just want to apologize for everything, all that b-------,’” Mescudi testified.

“After I got the apology I found peace with it. That was the last thing I was suspecting to get from him,” Mescudi testified.
