Music mogul Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs is facing explosive accusations in a federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial, with his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura emerging as a key witness. In powerful courtroom testimony, Cassie gave a disturbing look into her relationship with Combs, alleging years of abuse, coercion, and degrading sexual experiences she says she endured while under his control.
Cassie Breaks Her Silence in Court
Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, testified that Combs controlled nearly every part of her life. From her hairstyle to her career choices, she claimed Diddy dictated it all. “Control was everything,” she said, adding that he would punish her if she didn’t meet his expectations — even taking her belongings or kicking her out of homes he paid for.
Physical Abuse Behind Closed Doors
Cassie described a toxic and violent relationship. “You make the wrong face and the next thing I knew, I was getting hit,” she said. She alleged Combs physically assaulted her multiple times — dragging her, kicking her, and leaving her with injuries like busted lips, bruises, and knots on her forehead.
The Disturbing ‘Freak Off’ Parties
One of the most shocking parts of her testimony was about the so-called “Freak Offs.” Cassie described these as sex parties where she was forced to have sex with other men while Combs watched and pleasured himself. These sessions, she said, would sometimes last hours and happen weekly for years.
She testified that the parties involved multiple men and sometimes included filming the encounters. Cassie claimed Combs kept the videos and used them as blackmail. “I felt disgusting… humiliated,” she said.
Period Blood, Urination, and No Boundaries
Cassie shared deeply disturbing details, including being forced to participate in sex acts while on her period, saying blood would get on the linens. She also revealed an incident where a male escort was made to urinate in her mouth — a moment prosecutors highlighted in their opening statement. “It was disgusting. It was too much,” Cassie said tearfully in court.
Drugs, Escorts, and a Hotel Assault
Cassie also testified that she regularly used drugs — supplied by Combs or his team — to numb herself during the freak-offs. She claimed Combs directed her to hire escorts, approving them before they were flown in and paid between $1,500 to $6,000 in cash.
In one chilling moment, Cassie recounted how Combs beat her in a hotel hallway in 2016 after she tried to leave one of the sex parties. Surveillance footage of that incident is now being used as evidence in the trial.
The Case Against Diddy
Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to multiple felony charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting individuals for prostitution. Prosecutors say he used his music empire as a cover for years of abuse and exploitation. If convicted, he could face a minimum of 15 years in prison and up to life.
The trial, which began this week in a Manhattan federal court, is expected to continue for two months with more witness testimonies and detailed evidence coming to light.
