Sean “Diddy” Combs wanted a freak-off days before Cassie Ventura’s first movie premiere, but she hesitated because she didn’t want to ruin her body before the big night, Cassie testified Tuesday.
Cassie felt as though she had to follow through with Diddy’s request or else he would have “made it miserable for me.” She testified that if she complied with his wishes, her movie premiere would go smoothly.
There was a lot of drinking during the freak-off which included an escort named Jules. In the middle of the session, Cassie testified that Diddy hit her, which caused a black eye. She attempted to leave and escaped to the hallway elevators, but the next thing she knew, she was on the ground.
She said Diddy dragged her by the back of her neck, and threw her down. After being thrown to the ground, Cassie said she covered her face and stayed there.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson asked Cassie if she hit Diddy back, to which she said, “No.”Jury dismissed for the day in Diddy đâŻđ crimes trial

Judge Arun Subramanian dismissed the jury in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal đâŻđ crimes trial just after 5 p.m. Tuesday.
He instructed the jury not to talk to anyone, and to disable alerts on their phones, especially from news organizations.
Diddy’s defense team said they planned to submit a letter about sealed exhibits.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office said “Victim 2” objected to the press being able to view any explicit videos or pictures because they were “humiliating to the victim.”
The judge noted he’s not suggesting the videos would be required to be shown in court if it meant revictimizing a person.
Cassie Ventura was on the stand today and detailed her experiences with freak-offs. She testified to using drugs, including ketamine and cocaine, during the freak-offs as a way to disassociate.
She testified that she would almost always get sick from the drugs, and often vomited. Diddy was allegedly aware that she was sick while engaged in a freak-off.
The pregnant model testified Tuesday that he requested escorts, and while she never reached out for escorts independently, Diddy wanted to make sure the person was “safe” and not a cop.
Cassie found the escorts through âCowboys for Angelsâ or Craigslist. Cassie testified that she did not post ads, but would respond to them. She explained communication always occurred via text and noted she often didnât give much notice when an escort was needed.
Cassie recalled one instance when there was a blow up pool they filled with oil. She explained she got in because âyou couldnât say no.â Cassie was concerned about Combsâ temper if she didnât get in, the singer-songwriter told the prosecutor.
“It was humiliating … just too much,” but it was “a position I just couldn’t easily get out of,” Cassie said of the freak-offs.Diddy ‘freak-offs’ were recorded and watched after sessions

Sean “Diddy” Combs recorded the freak-offs with Cassie Ventura on video cameras in the beginning before using iPads, phones or computers, Cassie testified.
Cassie told Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson that she did not want to be recorded during the đâŻđual encounters. Following a freak-off, Diddy and Cassie would watch the videos.
Freak-offs could often include two-three sessions, Cassie testified. A freak-off could include two-three different men.
She testified that she never wanted to have additional sessions with an escort, but would follow through because “Sean would want to do more.”
On more than one occasion, freak-offs included more than one escort, Cassie said. She told the court she “didn’t want this,” and “it was more than enough.”
She felt as though the sessions were like porn and she was an object being objectified by men.Cassie testifies ‘freak-offs’ followed a pattern
Sean “Diddy” Combs enjoyed the process of a freak-off, and had a particular pattern he would follow, Cassie Ventura testified.
The “All About the Benjamins” rapper decided the pattern, and took pleasure in watching the đđđđŚ oil be poured, touching, oral đâŻđ and then đâŻđual intercourse.
Diddy instructed Cassie and the escort to look at each other when they were engaged in the freak-off. She would describe what was going on in detail, as “that is what turned Sean on.”
Cassie testified that the experience of describing a man’s genitalia to another man was “awkward.”
After the description process, Cassie had to ask Diddy if it was OK to move on from the touching portion with the escort to oral đâŻđ and beyond. She had to ask for permission because Diddy’s fantasy was about having “control.”
Cassie would go through the motions just to “get to the room” with Diddy alone.Cassie would often get sick from drugs used during ‘freak-offs’

Cassie Ventura used ketamine and other drugs before freak-offs with Sean “Diddy” Combs.
During testimony in Diddy’s federal đâŻđ crimes trial, Cassie admitted she would take drugs before arriving at a hotel, and would consistently use during a freak-off as the high was wearing off.
“I needed to remain high to stay present with the experience,” she told Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson. She did this “because it was something I didn’t like doing.”
Cassie admitted that ecstasy made her feel euphoric and aroused, while ketamine would make her dissociative. Cocaine made her heart race, and mushrooms made her see things. GHB, also known as the date-rape drug, made her feel drunk.
She testified that she would almost always get sick from the drugs, and often vomited. Diddy was aware that she was sick while engaged in a freak-off.Cassie says it was important to Diddy ‘not to have his identity known’ when booking escorts’ travel

Cassie Ventura testified that Sean “Diddy” Combs did not want his âidentity known.â
The rapperâs ex claimed Diddy would ask if the escorts needed to travel for the âfreak offs.” Cassie explained she once reached out to Diddyâs travel agent and referred to an escort as a new employee in order to book the needed travel.
âIt was important to Sean not to have his identity known,â she told the jury.
The jury has heard testimony about Diddy’s alleged âfreak offs,â which sometimes happened at hotels or often at Diddyâs own homes, for the past two days. The âfreak offsâ would sometimes last for days at a time and became a job for Cassie, she testified.
“The freak-offs became a job. There was no space for anything else but to recover,” she said on the stand during Diddy’s federal đâŻđ crimes trial.
Most “freak offs” would allegedly last between 24-72 hours. She claimed the longest freak off was four days. When she wasn’t participating, she was recovering from “the drugs, dehydration, staying awake.”
