Sean Combs’s Ex Cassie Testifies on Abuse in Sex Trafficking Trial

Casandra Ventura, known as Cassie, provided harrowing testimony in the sex trafficking and racketeering trial against Sean “Diddy” Combs, detailing years of coercion, abuse, and manipulation. She described being forced into drug-fueled, marathon group sex sessions called “freak-offs” where Combs watched and sometimes participated while she was directed to have sex with paid male escorts, often under degrading conditions including being urinated on. Cassie recounted physical abuse, including beatings and being stomped on the head, as well as psychological control over her career and personal life. Despite her trauma, she testified that her love for Combs and desire to make him happy left her feeling trapped and without choice. The defense plans to argue that her drug use was voluntary and that she behaved erratically. Her testimony, given while heavily pregnant, is a central part of the prosecution's case against Combs, who is accused of using violence and blackmail to exploit women over many years.
