Officials arrested Combs in September. He has pleaded not guilty to all the charges. The courtroom has already heard disturbing stories. The trial is expected to continue for several weeks.
Cassie Ventura Takes the Stand and Describes Painful Relationship
Cassie Ventura, Combs’ ex-girlfriend and singer, testified in court this week. She spoke in great detail about their relationship and what she called “Freak Offs.” Cassie said she met Combs in 2006 when she signed with Bad Boy Records. She was just 19 years old. Their relationship began as a friendship. Things changed quickly. During a trip to Las Vegas for her 21st birthday, Combs kissed her for the first time. Cassie said she felt confused. She saw him as both a fun person and a man who had control over her music career. “He called all the shots,” she told the court. Her words painted a picture of control and fear from the beginning.
Cassie Shares Accounts of Violence and Constant Surveillance
Cassie said the relationship became abusive. She told the jury that arguments often turned violent. Combs would hit her, drag her, and stomp on her head. These weren’t isolated incidents. She said the abuse happened multiple times. She also said Combs showed extreme mood swings. If she didn’t answer his calls, he would blow up her phone. Sometimes, he sent his staff to find her. She felt like she couldn’t escape his control. He kept her under constant watch.
Combs Introduced Voyeurism Early in the Relationship
In the early years, Combs asked Cassie to take part in shocking sexual acts. He introduced something he called “voyeurism.” He asked her to have sex with another man while he watched. Cassie said she didn’t want to do it. But she also felt she couldn’t say no. She said Combs already controlled so much of her life. She didn’t think she had a choice. These experiences marked the beginning of what would become known as “Freak Offs.”
The Start of the “Freak Offs” and Their Disturbing Nature
Cassie said she was around 22 when Combs first requested a “Freak Off.” He wanted her to take part in group sex with escorts and other people. She agreed, but only because she wanted to make him happy. She said she stayed awake for days without rest. Combs decided when these sex events began and ended. He controlled every detail. Cassie said the events followed the same pattern. She felt she had no power to stop them. Her words showed how deep his control went.
Cassie Opens Up About Shame, Trauma, and Drug Use
Cassie became emotional as she described how the “Freak Offs” affected her. She said they were the only way she could spend time with Combs. But these moments filled her with shame and guilt. “I felt disgusting,” she said. “I was humiliated.” She told the court she took drugs to escape the pain and wanted to disassociate from what was happening. She didn’t have the words at the time to describe how bad she felt.
Diddy Controlled Her Appearance and Humiliated Her
Cassie explained how Combs controlled her appearance. He chose her clothes and even the style of her nails. He had very specific instructions. If he didn’t approve of how she looked, his staff took away her things. She said Combs sometimes urinated on her or made escorts do it. She never wanted that and felt deeply humiliated. These acts weren’t just sexual—they were about power and control.
Cassie Describes How They Planned the Sex Events
Cassie gave details about how Combs arranged these encounters. They often used fake names to book hotel rooms or hire dancers. Combs’ staff also helped make the plans. He told Cassie to find escorts and had specific physical demands for them. He also made her check if any of them were undercover police. Sometimes, she booked their travel. Other times, a travel agent handled it. These “Freak Offs” took place in multiple states. The planning, Cassie said, always came from Combs and his team.
2016 Hotel Attack Shown to Jury Matches Her Testimony
Cassie talked about a violent moment in 2016. It happened at the InterContinental Hotel. The jury had already seen the security footage. Cassie said she tried to leave a “Freak Off” early. Combs became angry. He hit her. She ran out of the hotel as fast as she could. Her words matched the video evidence. This incident became one of the strongest parts of her testimony. It showed the jury that her claims were backed by clear proof.
What Comes Next in the Trial Against Sean Combs
Cassie’s testimony will continue this week. Her words so far have shocked the courtroom. They support earlier witness statements. On the first day, jurors heard from a hotel security worker who saw the 2016 beating. They also heard from a man who said Combs paid him to have sex with Cassie. The trial is far from over. But Cassie’s detailed, emotional, and bold testimony could play a major role in the case against Sean Combs.
