Third Week Turns Into Media Frenzy
The Diddy trial descends into chaos in New York City as week three exposes shocking accusations, celebrity testimony, and courtroom drama that has gripped the world.
Sean โDiddyโ Combs, 55, sits accused of operating a criminal sex ring. But rather than shrinking from the spotlight, heโs flashing heart signs to supporters and chatting up his legal team as jurors hear harrowing stories.
Cassie Ventura, his ex-girlfriend, dropped bombshell testimony. She described years of abuse, emotional torment, and being forced into sex with paid strangers during so-called โfreak offs.โ
Witness Says Diddy Used Blackmail and Fear
Deonte Nash, Cassieโs former stylist, testified that Diddy threatened to send sex tapes to Cassieโs parentsโ workplaces. Nash said he initially brushed it offโuntil Cassie revealed Diddy wasnโt even in the videos. He just filmed her with other men.
โShe didnโt want to do it,โ Nash told the court. โPuff made her.โ
Cassie later told Nash sheโd rather face public humiliation than keep being controlled.
Hotel Manager Reveals Diddyโs Destructive Habits
Frรฉdรฉric Zemmour, manager at LโErmitage Beverly Hills, said Diddyโs guest profile warned staff: expect damage. The mogul left wax-covered furniture, oil-slicked sheets, and demands for $1,000 deposits.
โHe needed deep cleaning after every visit,โ Zemmour said.
Hotel workers also confirmed that candles and baby oil were staples of Diddyโs โfreak offโ rituals.
Chaos Deepens With Family and Celebrities Watching
While Diddyโs mom Janice stood by him in court, celebrities outside weighed in. Ray J, Suge Knight, and Wendy Williams have all speculated on the trialโs outcome.
Inside the courtroom, emotions ran high. Nash told jurors that Cassie once considered jumping off a hotel balcony to escape Diddyโs guards. She only managed to sneak away thanks to friends.
Prosecutors Reveal Racketeering Plan
Prosecutors are painting Diddy not just as an abuserโbut as the leader of a calculated enterprise. They say he used assistants, hotels, and business fronts to hide abuse and traffic victims.
Personal assistant George Kaplan said he cleaned up baby oil and drugs. Another aide, David James, stocked rooms with Viagra, condoms, and lubeโon Diddyโs orders.
Even worse, he said Diddy once carried three loaded guns while looking for music rival Suge Knight.
Diddyโs Defense Tries to Deflect
Diddy denies the charges. His lawyers admit he beat womenโbut say he never trafficked them.
Theyโve tried to discredit witnesses by pointing to past drug use. They also called for a mistrial after prosecutors referenced destroyed fingerprint evidence from Kid Cudiโs bombed car.
Judge denied the mistrial motion. The trial moved forwardโwith more heat than ever.
Stylist Says Diddy Demanded ControlโDown to Hair
Nash described another disturbing moment: Diddy allegedly lifted him off the ground at an Oscar party because he didnโt like Cassieโs hairstyle.
โI had to redo her hair in the bathroom,โ Nash recalled. โThen he said it looked better and calmed down.โ
Diddy later took credit for Cassieโs now-iconic half-shaved haircut. Friends claimed he ordered it after seeing a similar look in a club.
Cassie Says She Was Numbed With Drugs
Cassie testified that she always took drugs before โfreak offs.โ
โI needed them,โ she said. โTo feel nothing. I didnโt want sex with strangers. But I didnโt want to make him angry either.โ
She broke down on the stand, describing the pressure to keep Diddy pleased.
โI felt dirty. Confused. But he was happy, so I had to be okay with it.โ
Dawn Richard Says Diddy Threatened to Make Her Disappear
Former bandmate Dawn Richard added more horror. She claimed Diddy threatened her life after she witnessed him hitting Cassie with a skillet.
โHe said we could go missing,โ she told jurors. โHe would choke, slap, and punch Cassie often.โ
The courtroom gasped as Richard recounted her fear of speaking out. But she refused to stay silent.
Cassieโs Mom TestifiesโReveals Diddy Demanded $20,000
Cassieโs mother, Regina Ventura, said she wired Diddy $20,000 from her home equity after he demanded compensation for Cassieโs career.
โHe said he was owed,โ Ventura testified. โThen days later, the money came back.โ
She added that Cassie was โphysically sickโ over Diddyโs threats to release sex tapes if she didnโt obey.
