Final Words From Cassie Shake the Courtroom
R&B star Cassie Ventura ended her harrowing testimony Friday after three relentless days on the stand in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex-trafficking trial.
Pregnant and visibly emotional, the 38-year-old singer described years of abuse at the hands of the man she once loved.
“I felt like dirt. Like I didn’t matter,” she told the jury through tears.
Disturbing Details and a Mother’s Pain
Cassie recounted how Diddy beat her, blackmailed her, and forced her into humiliating “freak-offs” with male escorts.
One of the most shocking moments came when prosecutor Emily Johnson asked how she felt when an escort urinated on her.
“Worthless,” she said, breaking down again as the defense quickly objected. The judge sustained it, but the emotional damage was already done.
Pushed to Her Limit
Diddy’s lawyers grilled Cassie with hundreds of texts and emails, some affectionate, others graphic.
Defense attorney Anna Estevao suggested Cassie participated willingly. But Cassie pushed back hard.
Asked who she actually wanted to sleep with during her 11-year relationship with Diddy, she said, “Just him.”
“I Had Another Job — A Sex Worker”
Ventura shocked the courtroom by saying she felt like she had a second career — as Diddy’s private sex worker.
“I had a whole other job,” she said. “Basically, a sex worker.”
The judge struck that comment from the record after an objection, but its weight lingered.
Prosecutors followed up, asking if that “other job” included preparing for and participating in “freak-offs.” Cassie answered: “Yes.”
$10 Million Settlement Revealed
Cassie also revealed a likely settlement with the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles, where Diddy was caught on video assaulting her in 2016.
She told jurors both parties had agreed on $10 million. The brutal video resurfaced last year and became a turning point in the public case against Diddy.
Diddy’s Mood Swings Controlled Her Life
Cassie said Diddy’s volatile moods dictated everything — her music, her self-worth, even when she could work.
“If he wanted a freak-off, my career took a back seat,” she testified.
Prosecutors used that moment to drive home their case: Diddy didn’t just control Cassie’s life — he destroyed it piece by piece.
What Comes Next
With Cassie’s testimony over, a new witness — a law enforcement agent — is set to take the stand.
Cassie’s testimony was the heart of the government’s case. And even as the trial continues, her voice has shaken the courtroom and sparked national outrage.
Diddy has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he faces life in prison.
But in just three days, Cassie’s words changed the tone of this trial — and perhaps its outcome.
