Diddy's personal assistant tells jury about guns, drugs and lie detector tests
Briefly

David James, a former personal assistant to Sean 'Diddy' Combs, testified in a sex trafficking trial revealing disturbing aspects of Combs' management style. He described a work environment filled with threats, violence, and substance abuse. His experience, from 2007 to 2009, highlighted incidents where Combs exhibited dangerous behavior, including brandishing firearms. James shared shocking anecdotes, such as witnessing Combs with an unknown man and Cassie in a compromised situation. As the trial unfolds, prosecutors aim to prove that Combs misused his influence to exploit and control those around him, including women, while Combs maintains his innocence to the charges including racketeering and sexual abuse.
James testified about a job that seemed to come with increasing perils until he realized his life was in danger and quit, with notice, after he was forced to drive a car in which an angry Combs sat in the back seat with three handguns on his lap.
He said his job sometimes required him to ensure that hotel rooms where Combs stayed under the name "Frank Black" were stocked with what he needed for comfort, including fresh underwear, an iPod, apple sauce, vodka, baby oil, Viagra and condoms.
