Sean Combs: The Reckoning — the new Netflix documentary executive-produced by 50 Cent — delivers one of its most jarring testimonies through the voice of sex worker Clayton Howard, who recounts what he describes as repeated violence and emotional manipulation between Sean “Diddy” Combs and then-girlfriend Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura.
Howard claims to have been an eight-year go-to sex worker for the couple. His account unfolds across luxury suites in New York and Miami, where he says privately controlled chaos stands in sharp contrast to the mogul’s public image.
Howard says he first encountered the couple at the London Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. Cassie makes him a drink, he recalls, prompting Combs to snap, “Don’t give him no drink.”
When she handed it to him anyway, Howard says Combs “gets violent,” yelling, “What bitch?!” before grabbing her. “I heard the glass shatter all over the floor,” he recounts.
Seconds later, he heard “the door open and slam shut.” Combs then allegedly returned to him, saying, “Oh shit, she just ran out of the room. We gotta go find her.”

According to Howard, the cycle became routine. “Every time she got assaulted, she would run out, she would always come back,” he says.
After disappearing into the master suite for “30 minutes, 45 minutes,” Howard recalls Cassie returning “like absolutely nothing happened.”
Another moment he describes unfolded during a sudden argument. “They started arguing, and he punched her dead in the chest,” Howard says. “She flew across the room. I said, ‘Holy shit.’”
Howard’s most disturbing recollection occurs in Miami, during a sexual encounter he says he was hired to participate in. “I was having sex with her,” he explains, when Combs “gets jealous.”
According to him, Combs “runs and jumps on top of her and starts going.” When Combs noticed Cassie “smirking” at Howard, he allegedly exploded:
“Bitch, what the fuck you laughing at? What, his dick bigger than mine?” Howard says Combs then “kick the shit outta her.”
Shocked, Howard says he stood up on instinct — “Yo, what the fuck you do that for?” — only for Combs to step back and tell him, “You’re not going to do nothing.”
Sean Combs: The Reckoning, available now on Netflix, frames Howard’s testimony within the longstanding allegations that continue to shadow the Bad Boy founder’s legacy. Diddy is currently serving a 50-month sentence on prostitution charges at Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution in New Jersey.
