‘The devil’: Diddy’s chilling comment

Sean Combs made a chilling threat to a friend of his ex, its claimed, and at one point allegedly damaged her off a balcony 17 stories up.

A New York court has heard that Sean “Diddy” Combs called himself “the devil” and “could kill” one of his ex-girlfriends.

Jurors in the Manhattan trial were also told the singer dangled a woman over a balcony potentially threatening her life.

Combs is on trial in New York on federal charges that include sex trafficking and racketeering. Combs has denied all the charges.

On Wednesday, US time, Bryana “Bana” Bongolan took the stand. She is a friend of Combs’ one time girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

She spoke of one incident in 2016 when she alleged Combs dangled her over a balcony at Ms Ventura’s Los Angeles apartment in a tall residential building.

“I was pulled over a 17th story balcony,” she told the court.

She said Combs banged on the door of the apartment where both she and Ms Ventura were asleep. Ms Bongolan asked Combs to leave, she said, and then she proceeded to the balcony and lit a cannabis joint.

“He basically came up from behind me, lifted me up and hung me off the rail,” she claimed.

She said Combs held her by the armpits with her feet dangling above the rail.

Ms Bongolan said the ordeal last around 15 seconds during which Combs screamed: screamed “You know what the f*** you did”.

It was claimed she was then thrown into some garden furniture and suffered bruising, leg and neck pain.

She said she had no idea then and no idea now what she was supposed to have done to have warranted being dangled over a balcony 17 stories up.

Ms Ventura then allegedly came out of her room and said: “Did you just hang her off the balcony?”

Ms Bongolan said she didn’t go the police because he was fearful of Combs.

She added she till had nightmares after the balcony incident and sometimes used to “scream a lot in my sleep”.

‘I’m the devil’

On another occasion, Ms Bongolan said Combs threatened he could kill her.

Again, she was with Ms Ventura when the alleged incident occurred. This time it was in Malibu, near Los Angeles, when a photo shoot was taking place.

“He came up really close to my face and said something along the lines of ‘I’m the devil and I could kill you,” she claimed.

“I was terrified,” she added.

Ms Bongolan told the court she was on cocaine at the time. Indeed, she told the court, much of her time with Ms Ventura involved being high.

“Yeah, we had a problem,” Ms Bongolan said of her and Ms Ventura’s drug use.

She also told the court she had a lawsuit out against Combs and she was seeking $US10 million from him. Combs’ defence team has tried to suggest that many of the witness testifying against Combs have done so in order to get damages from the star.
