Five of Sean Combs’s 6 children were in court on Monday to hear extremely graphic testimony about their father’s extracurricular activities with his ex-girlfriend Casandra “Cassie” Ventura and male escorts.
Combs’s children, Justin, Christian, Chance, and twins D’Lila and Jessie were in court. Kim Porter’s son Quincy Brown (by Al B. Sure!) was also in court to support the man who helped raise him.
Contrary to popular belief, Sean Combs never adopted Quincy Brown. Quincy’s father, Al B. Sure! never terminated his parental rights.
Combs’s youngest daughter, Love Combs, was not in court.
Before attending their father’s trial in Manhattan, the twins and Chance attended Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
Also in court to support Combs were his mother, Janice Combs, Justin’s mother, Misa Hylton, and Chance’s mother, Sarah Chapman.

Combs’ sex-trafficking and racketeering trial kicked off on Monday, May 5, with jury selection. The jury selection was completed on Monday, May 12, and opening arguments began.
The first to testify for the prosecution was a male escort named Daniel Phillip who gave graphic testimony about Combs’ alleged activities with Cassie.
According to Variety, the testimony was so disturbing that Combs’s three daughters got up and walked out of the courtroom twice.
The jury of eight men and four women leaned forward in their seats as Phillip testified.
Phillip told the court that he had multiple sexual encounters with Cassie between 2012 to 2014. He said he was paid between $700 and $6,000 to have sex with Cassie, under her direction, as Combs watched and masturbated.
Phillip said Cassie, 38, assured him that Combs, 55, was just an observer and he was “not gay.”
He described his first encounter with Combs and Cassie at the Gramercy Park Hotel in Manhattan in 2012. The manager of a male revue show asked him to go to the hotel. He believed he was there to strip tease for a group of women. But Cassie opened the suite door and handed him several thousand dollars.
She asked if he was okay having sex with just her. He didn’t recognize Combs who wore a bandana over his nose and mouth.
At one point, Phillip recognized Combs’ voice when he spoke. Combs asked him to rub baby oil on Cassie before engaging in intercourse. Afterwards, Cassie handed Phillip several more thousand dollars and he left.
A few minutes after he left the hotel, Phillip received a text message from Cassie asking him to text her a picture of his genitals, and to come back up to the room. He returned to the room, and for another few hours they rubbed baby oil on each other and had sex as Combs masturbated in a chair in a corner.
Phillip also recalled incidents when Combs roughed up Cassie for not moving fast enough when he called her.
He said Combs dragged Cassie by her hair into another room. “She was screaming, and he pulled her into the bedroom,” Phillip said. “I could hear what sounded like him slapping her. She was screaming, ‘I’m sorry! I’m sorry!'” Phillip said Combs said to Cassie, “B-tch, when I tell you to come, you come now. Not later.”
Phillip said he never intervened because it was a domestic situation and Cassie was never seriously injured.
“I was shocked. It came out of nowhere. I was terrified. I didn’t know what to do,” Phillip said. “In my mind … if I tried to do something I might lose my life.”
At one point, when Phillip had difficulty maintaining an erection, he said Combs gave him a Cialis pill for erectile dysfunction. He said on the occasions when he couldn’t perform, he didn’t get paid.
Following another abusive incident between Combs and Cassie, Combs left the hotel, and Cassie jumped into Phillip’s lap and began crying and kissing him.
The two of them began having sex, and Phillip did not have trouble staying erect. While they had intercourse, they noticed Combs sneaking back into the room to watch.
