Regina remembered how she felt when reading the letter. “I got physically sick. I didn’t understand it, the sex video blew me away. He wanted to hurt my daughter.”
$ 20,000 – a questionable claim
At about the same time, Regina said, Combs contacted her and asked for around $ 20,000. Regina said that she and her husband had taken up a real estate loan to pay the Mogul.
“That was the only way to get the money,” said Regina. And added that she had complied with the request because she ‘was afraid of my daughter’s security’ and because Combs “asked for it”.
Money was turned back five days later
Regina said she transferred the money to a bad boy account according to the instructions from Combs’ accountant. About five days later, the money was rejected to her account. She had no further contact with Combs regarding the money.
Threats and blackmail by Combs
Regina did not say for more than 40 minutes on Tuesday, with Combs’ defense avoided noticeably taking her into the cross -question. After the public prosecutor’s office ended her survey, Combs welcomed defender Marc Agnifilo Regina. And then said: “I have no questions for you.” (This is the first witness in this case that the defense was not taken into the cross -question.)
Combs’ behavior in the courtroom
While Combs was often active and committed during the process – he exchanged confidential information with his lawyers and turned to the witnesses when they entered the courtroom – he avoided Regina when she passed on him on the way to the witness stand.

Elsewhere in her statement, Regina spoke about photos that she had taken from her daughter in December 2011 after Combs supposedly attacked her. Regina said this was the first time that Cassie told her that Combs had become physically violent. Regina remembered the photos. “She had blue spots. And I wanted to make sure that we hold it out.”

The dispute, according to Regina, broke out in front of Cassie’s apartment after Combs supposedly “stolen” Cassie’s cell phone.
Regina tried to beat Combs
“We fought for the cell phone. I wanted to have it back. And he held it,” said Regina. Regina noticed that one of Combs’ bodyguards stood between them. And she said, “I screamed, roared and tried to beat him, but I was unsuccessful.”
Finally, according to Regina, Combs returned the cell phone, but then drove away with Cassie’s car.
Cassie’s statement on the explosion of Cudis Auto
When Cassie testified on the witness stand last week, Combs not only threatened her to publish the explicit videos of her and “hurt” her and Mescudi. But also to blow up Mescudi’s car and let Mescudi’s friends see the explosion.

An incident that Cassie Ventura described in her own statement in detail.
Combs Commissioned FBI agent for lie detectors tests
“I was really shaken,” said James. “It was the first time as his assistant that I realized that my life was in danger.”
Immunity question at James’ statement
During the crossing, Combs’ defender Marc Agnifilo James asked whether he had objections to drive Combs while he had the three handguns with him. What James replied: “With all respect, sir.
The defense of Combs had previously tried to prevent James’ statement on the grounds that she was not relevant. But the judge finally agreed with the public prosecutor. She argued that she supports her charges for organized crime. For this purpose, Agnifilo James interviewed for a meeting with the government in which he was forbidden to reveal further details about the incident with Knight. James said he was sticking to it. Because he had been told “nothing to say about what could put on him”.
Agreement on protection against law enforcement
Agnifilo later asked James whether he had been granted immunity for his statement. James said he was not sure about the details, but believes that his lawyers had negotiated an agreement that would give him a certain protection against law enforcement. (So far, however, there has been no evidence that a criminal offense has been committed during the restaurant visit.
Statement by Escort Sharay Hayes
Later a day, the court heard the statement by Sharay Hayes, a male escort called “The Punisher”, which had been hired several times for freak-offs by Combs and Ventura. Hayes gave further insights into the handling of these carefully choreographed sexual encounters. And remembered how Combs Ventura gave “subtle instructions” to everything. From lighting to positioning your body.
At the survey by the public prosecutor, Hayes said that he understood these encounters so that Ventura “staged a sexy scene that was fun for her partner”. Ventura has never opposed Combs’ instructions. But Hayes said that he had “sometimes sighed a sigh or twitching that, like frustration about the frequency” of the instructions of Combs.
Defender brings “25 years of experience” into play
In the cross-interpretation, Combs’ defender Xavier Donaldson Hayes asked whether Ventura had ever worked uncomfortably during the “freak-offs”. “I did not see any signs that what was going on was uncomfortable,” replied Hayes. Later he said everything had worked mutually. And when Donaldson asked him whether his assessment of the situation and Ventura’s well -being based on “25 years of experience with dry fusses with hundreds of thousands of women”, Hayes replied: “Right.”
