Sean Combs: Capricorn Clark testifies.

NBC NEWS
About this episode

Diddy's longtime employee took the stand with her version of a story previously relayed by Cassie Ventura and Kid Cudi. She says she was kidnapped from her home by a gun-toting Combs, who told her they were going to kill Kid Cudi, and she watched as Combs "gained access" to the pop star's house. Plus, she says, years before that she was subjected to five days of lie detector tests conducted by a man who said, "If you fail these tests, they're going to throw you in the East River." But the defense showed Clark proof she asked for Combs's forgiveness -- and another job. Combs's team denies all her allegations and disputes even use of the words "kidnapping" or "break in."
