In the ongoing federal sex trafficking trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura testified about their turbulent relationship, which began when she was in her early 20s and included episodes of violence, sexual coercion, and psychological manipulation. Over four days of testimony, Cassie described being coerced into “freak offs,” prolonged sexual encounters with male escorts under threats of physical harm or blackmail. She recounted instances of Combs violently attacking her, including a notable incident in a hotel hallway captured on security video.
Cassie claimed that Combs forced her into drug use and sexual acts, often monitored by his security team. Her testimony was graphic and emotionally charged, detailing a life in which she felt “trapped” and feared repercussions, including leaking of explicit videos. Despite her apparent affection for Combs at points, such as during cross-examination where messages revealed her willingness to engage in some encounters, the prosecution argues that her interactions were a result of coercion.
Legal experts highlighted the significance of her testimony in establishing a narrative for the prosecution’s charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. With Combs facing serious allegations, including potential prison time if found guilty, the trial also focuses on how the relationship dynamics played into his alleged criminal enterprise involving Bad Boy Records.
Defense attorneys aim to portray the interactions as consensual, framing Venturas’ lawsuit settlement as a possible financial motive. Witnesses are expected to include Cassie’s mother and others from Combs’ circle, with the trial set to extend for several weeks.
