As outlined in their opening statements this morning, what the defence says at this point is that Combs did in fact hit his girlfriends, as jurors went on to see in that hotel video - but the defence also says that's not what this trial is about, and that domestic abuse is not the same as sex trafficking.

Casandra Ventura, Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend, took the stand on Tuesday in his sex trafficking trial in New York.

In May of last year, surveillance footage surfaced of Combs grabbing, shoving, dragging and kicking Ventura inside a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.
