June 17, 2025 – Day 25 of testimony in the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial

Cassie Ventura and Sean “Diddy” Combs’s assistant Elie Maroun were on two calls starting around 5:30 p.m. Shortly after that, there were about four calls between Ventura and Combs.

At 5:52 p.m., Kristina Khorram, Combs’ former chief of staff, texted Maroun, “I’m going to ask just to cover damages.”

“He wants to speak to Spanish security guard,” Maroun responded.

“Say they had a fun drunk night to try and get more info,” Khorram texted.

“Lol no shot they aren’t playing nice,” Maroun responded.

Combs and his former security guard, Damion Butler, who goes by D-Roc, each called Ventura several times between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m., with most of the calls being answered.

At 6:55 p.m., Kerry Morgan, a former friend of Ventura, texted Khorram a picture of a business card from LAPD and said, “I don’t think anyone should call her.”

Khorram asked if she could call Morgan in a bit when she was alone.

“She was looking for anyone to say the wrong thing so she can call domestic abuse,” Morgan wrote, later saying, “Cas just asked me to send you that.”

Ventura then answered a call from D-Roc and two calls from Khorram at 7 p.m.

Khorram texted Maroun at 9:55 p.m., “Did you get security #? PD is asking.”

“Wouldn’t give it to me,” Maroun responded.

“What is eddys last name,” Khorram wrote.

Two photos were recovered from Ventura’s device, taken at 7:09 a.m. the next day, March 6, 2016. One of the photos appeared to be a picture of two men, and the other showed someone sitting on a couch.

Combs texted D-Roc, “How is she?” at 9:32 a.m.

“She’s ok she’s eating breakfast. Her face don’t look bad. She good.” D-Roc wrote. He said Ventura was smiling and laughing and suggested Combs call her or call the house.
