Reporting from court
“Mia” takes us through one instance of Combs’s alleged violence that we heard from Ventura and her former stylist Deonte Nash.
The three were at Ventura’s house in Los Angeles when Combs showed up and started “banging” on the door, “Mia” says.
All of a sudden, Combs started attacking Ventura, “Mia” says.
She says the two jumped in immediately and tried to get him to stop.
She jumped onto his back and he threw her against the wall.
“I realised we were in real danger”, she says.
She starts to cry as she tells the court she couldn’t get there “fast enough” to stop Combs from slamming Ventura in the “strongest, sharpest corner” of her wooden bed frame.
“He’s actually going to kill her,” “Mia” recalls thinking through tears.
Combs then told “Mia” to arrange for Ventura to see the plastic surgeon, she says.
Following that, the court takes its lunch break.
