Diddy Claims Videos Show Consensual Encounters

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is defending himself against serious allegations of sexual assault and trafficking, asserting that videos of his so-called 'freak-off' parties depict consensual sexual activity. His legal team claims that the footage shows his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura enjoying herself and being in control, contradicting prosecutors’ assertions of coercion and abuse. They argue that the videos reveal no evidence of violence, drug use, or trafficking, and emphasize that Cassie had control of the recordings before turning them over to authorities. Diddy's lawyers describe the government's portrayal of the events as sensationalistic and reflective of outdated stereotypes about female victimhood. The rapper, who is awaiting trial, maintains his innocence, stating that the tapes will ultimately exonerate him. He has faced renewed scrutiny following a civil lawsuit filed by Cassie that accused him of abuse, which was settled shortly after it was filed.
