Ex-Girlfriend Testifies Against Diddy in Sex Trafficking Trial
Cassie Ventura recounts allegations of control and abuse during testimony against Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
In the ongoing sex trafficking trial against the hip-hop mogul, Cassie Ventura, Diddy’s former girlfriend, took the stand on Tuesday, painting a harrowing picture of their 11-year on-and-off relationship. The 38-year-old, who is currently pregnant, testified about the alleged coercive and abusive control exercised by Mr. Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to a slew of charges including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.
Ms. Ventura met Mr. Combs when she was just 19 and he was 37, later becoming an artist under his record label. She described feeling initially in love with the "larger than life" musician, but disclosed that this love turned into a nightmare. She testified that Diddy paid for her home, vehicles, and phone, using material possessions as tools for controlling her.
The testimony grew increasingly unsettling as Ms. Ventura detailed the so-called "freak-offs"—sex acts involving male escorts that Diddy organized for his entertainment. Under intense questioning by the prosecution, she described feelings of humiliation that accompanied these encounters, which she often participated in to please the rapper. Her accounts shed light on a disturbing pattern of abuse, where she often resorted to drugs to cope with the trauma.
Ms. Ventura alleged that Diddy orchestrated every detail of these encounters, from selecting the outfits she wore to dictating the sexual acts, leaving her feeling powerless. She recounted moments of pleading with him, expressing her discomfort, but often felt silenced by the threat of his anger.
The trial continues, with Ms. Ventura expected to provide further testimony, including facing potential cross-examination as the case against Diddy unfolds.
