Deonte Nash, the third witness of the day, is giving colourful responses to prosecutors’ questions, often eliciting laughter from attorneys and the crowd. Shown a photo of himself from when he was a stylist, he says, “I look amazing”.
But Nash’s testimony is serious as well. He spent nearly every day with Ventura, he says.
Asked what names Combs called Ventura, he replies: “Baby girl, CC, Cass, bitch, slut, ho”.
He describes several incidents in which Combs was violent or “irate” with him and Ventura.
