In a Manhattan federal courtroom, singer Cassie Ventura delivered emotional testimony against Sean “Diddy” Combs, detailing a decade-long relationship marked by alleged abuse, control, and coerced sexual encounters. Ventura described being forced into drug-fueled sex parties, referred to as “freak-offs,” which Combs allegedly orchestrated and filmed. These events, often lasting several days, involved male escorts and left Ventura physically and emotionally traumatized.
Ventura recounted instances of physical abuse, including a 2016 assault captured on hotel surveillance footage, where Combs was seen dragging her by the hair. She also testified about being subjected to humiliating acts, such as being urinated on during these parties. The prosecution presented evidence of Combs’ control over Ventura’s personal and professional life, including threats to release explicit videos to manipulate her.
Combs, 55, faces charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The trial is expected to continue for several weeks, with Ventura’s testimony serving as a central component of the prosecution’s case.
