Sean Diddy Combss ex-girlfriend and main accuser Cassie Ventura is testifying against him for a second day in Manhattan federal court Wednesday.
The pregnant singer, 38, shared harrowing testimony in the music moguls sex-trafficking and racketeering trial in New York, claiming she was coerced into participating in horrific sex sessions that could last up to four days.
In humiliating detail, she recounted a turbulent 10-year relationship with Combs that she said was consumed by violence and his obsession with a form of voyeurism where he was controlling the whole situation.
That included directing her encounters with male sex workers right down to the copious amounts of baby oil she applied to maintain the glistening look he desired – as many as 10 large bottles a session.
Combs defense says he is guilty of domestic violence, but not of sex-trafficking or racketeering, and that the government is targeting him for his sexual preferences.

20:45Jury hears claims of terrifying violence
A defense complaint that testimony about violence was not specific enough prompted a prosecutor to elicit a history of notable events of violence Cassie said she suffered at the hands of Combs.
The first, she testified, came early in their relationship in 2007. Cassie said she was at a dinner with Sean and friends when she spotted Combs flirting with somebody.
She said she shrugged her shoulders when somebody else who saw it looked at her. But then, she said, Combs attacked her in a car after they left the venue.
He knocked me around and was just hitting me, she said.
Cassie testified that she fell to the floor of the car after Combs hit her on the side of the head. I was just shocked, she said. I didn’t necessarily understand what happened and why he was so angry.
She said she went home and hid out after that.

She said that when she went home for Christmas in 2011 with bruises from an altercation with the hip-hop mogul, she lied and told her mother it was the first time he’d hit her.
I couldn’t hurt her like that, Cassie testified. And it was terrifying. It’s not normal, constantly being bruised up by the person you love — who says they love you.
Jurors saw photos showing a large, dark bruise on Cassie’s lower back and other bruises on her shoulder and thigh that she said she sustained in the altercation.
20:19Diddy ‘threatened Cassie after their break up’
In 2019, Diddy texted Cassie: If I was you, I would get me my money.
He apparently wanted to be reimbursed after Cassie married Alex Fine, a personal trainer Diddy initally hired for her.
YOU WILL NOT BE THREATENING ME, Diddy texted, adding that Cassie had too many iPads full of skeletons.
Cassie replied: Do you want me to tell the truth? It’s way deeper than iPads.
20:16’Hundreds of freak offs’
As the prosecution ended its direct examination on Wednesday, they asked Cassie how many freak offs she participated in.
Impossible to know, she replied. Hundreds.
When asked if she’s been involved in any since ending her relationship with Combs in 2018, the witness said, no.
Cassie was also asked why she chose to take the stand against the music mogul.
I can’t carry this any more. I can’t carry the shame, the guilt, the way we… I was guided to treat people like they were disposable. What’s right is right, what’s wrong is wrong. I’m here to do the right thing.
20:13Diddy settled Cassie’s 2023 lawsuit for $20M

I wanted ot be compensated for the time, the pain, the many, many years of having to fix my life, Cassie told the jury.

She added that [Diddy] mentioned that when we were out of the country that [Cudis]’s car would be blown up.
Cassie said that when she next saw Kid Cudi, he brought up his car to Diddy.

The singer also named several celebrities on Wednesday as she described a 2013 incident.
She said, while she was packing to go to Drake’s music festival in Canada, Combs scuffled with her friends and threw her into a bed frame.
Cassie said she suffered a pretty significant gash above her left eye. Combs’ security personnel brought her to a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills to get the wound stitched up.
Afterward, she texted Combs a photo of her injured face and wrote: So you can remember.
Combs replied: You don’t know when to stop. You pushed it too far. And continued to push. Sad.
Cassie then described a photo of her where she is with rapper French Montana at the festival in Canada.
Jury appears shocked as they view Freak Off images
The jury had somber reactions as they were shown five still images from the Freak Offs which Ventura was involved in.
Jurors were shown the images on their screens which had special privacy sheets put on them to stop the public from seeing them.
A black male juror’s eyebrows went up when he saw the images and a black female juror swallowed hard and appeared to move her head side to side.
A white male juror put his hand by his mouth and another white man appeared to do a double take.
Ventura did not appear to react and spoke in a flat voice while describing the five images.
The explosive evidence that Diddy trial jury will seeDiddy’s marathon sex trafficking trial will include graphic videos of ‘freak off’ orgies, the rapper brutally beating Cassie Ventura, and dozens of witness accounts.
18:12Jurors view Freak Off images

Prosecutor Emily Johnson showed Cassie a still image taken from a video of a Freak Off.
The image showed one of the escorts Cassie and Diddy commonly used.
The images are only being shown to jurors, and not the gallery, because it is evidence that is still under seal.
17:56Witness’ lawyer says she had a breakdown before testimony
Lawyers for witnesses in the trial spoke to the judge to ensure they’d continue to be able to communicate with their clients during breaks in the trial, in part, to calm their nerves.
One lawyer said her client, who will testify as Jane, has had very serious breakdown moments in preparation for this trial.
Another lawyer, Michael Ferrara, said his client, who will testify under the name Mia, will tell about the worst things ever to happen to her. Those things, he said, she otherwise would have taken to her grave. He said she will want emotional support during her testimony.
Candidly, her nerves are through the roof, he said. I don’t know how to support her if we can’t discuss the pain she’s going to experience from having to tell the world about her worst experiences.
U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian is seen on Wednesday.
17:42Cassie describes revolting sex injuries
Cassie said she would try to recover from freak offs by taking IV fluids, getting massages and having a chef cook meals.

Cassie also described being left with sores in her mouth from grueling sex sessions.

16:38’You treat me like you’re Ike Turner’
Prosecutors showed the jury a text exchange where Cassie wrote to Diddy: Nothing good comes out of FOs any more.

I wasn’t supposed to be on those videos. I didn’t want to be in them.
The jury saw a text where Cassie told Diddy: Please delete any video out of your iphone if you have . Too many people have access to your stuf.

Cassie explained ketamine was her preferred drug for the sex sessions because it allowed her to disassociate.

Cassie replied: That is all we do and I’m just getting back on track. I’m sure you can call Kim or something.

She said she texted Diddy saying: I have a premiere for the biggest thing I’ve ever done in my life on Monday. You are sick for thinking it’s OK to do what you’ve done. Please stay away from me.
The rapper reportedly then claimed he was getting arrested.
Cassie said her then-best friend, model Kerry Morgan, became upset when she saw her face and called police.

Cassie, whose legal name is Casandra Ventura, sniffled and dabbed her eyes with a tissue, sighed heavily and paused to compose herself through about five hours of testimony at Combs’ sex trafficking trial.
The singer told jurors that his demands for her to engage in sometimes-revolting sex acts — sometimes as he watched from another room via FaceTime — left her feeling heavily objectified. But, she said, she endured them because she was in love with Combs.
When she did try to leave, she said, Combs punished her — most notably in a 2016 assault captured on a security camera at a Los Angeles hotel. In the video, played in court for a fifth time, Combs is seen hitting, kicking and attempting to drag her back to their room.
