Cassie has detailed what happened inside Diddy’s so-called ‘freak off’ parties and the alleged nickname she was made to call him.

Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, was arrested in New York last September and has been charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion – all of which he has repeatedly denied.

The 55-year-old has been detained inside Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre ever since, in anticipation of the high-profile trial that kicked off on Monday (May 12).

Cassandra Ventura, known more commonly as Cassie, dated the rapper for over a decade, on-and-off between 2007 and 2018, and took to the stand on Tuesday (May 13), telling the court her version of events.

The now 38-year-old musician was just 19 when she met then 37-year-old Combs, and went on to testify that she suffered alleged physical abuse at the hands of her ex-boyfriend.
On the stand, Ventura claimed she and Combs got in arguments that would ‘result in violence’, adding that he would ‘stomp [her] in the head if I was down’.

When asked how often Combs allegedly abused her, she responded: “Too frequently.”

In another part of her testimony, Ventura claimed she was made to call Combs ‘Pop Pop,’ the nickname she had used for her grandfather, which she said she thought was ‘weird’.

“I did it but now I think it was disrespectful,” Ventura added.

The age gap between the couple was 17 years, with Ventura saying that she was ‘in love with him’ and it was her ‘first real adult relationship’.

As for the alleged ‘freak-offs,’ the musician claimed they were ‘sexual encounter[s] called voyeurism’ where Combs would watch her have sex with another man.
I remember my stomach falling to my butt,” she explained to the court. “Just the nervousness and confusion… I had just turned 22.”

She told how she didn’t want to be involved, but ultimately did so because she ‘loved’ Combs and ‘wanted to make him happy’, adding: “The freak offs became a job. There was no time to do anything else but do them then try to recover. The longest was four days, significant periods of time.”

In one horrifying ordeal, she alleged Combs had directed an escort to ‘urinate in her mouth’ which made her feel like she was ‘choking’.

She also told the court that Combs would take away her things to ‘punish’ her, like her car, home, jewellery, laptop and phone.
urors also watched a CCTV video that had been made public and went viral last year which appeared to show Combs attacking her while inside a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.

In 2024, Combs addressed the video, saying that his behavior in the video was ‘inexcusable’ and he was ‘f**ked up’.

The Honey 3 actress’ testimony comes after she filed a civil suit against Combs in 2023 where she accused him of rape and physical abuse, though the matter was settled out of court shortly after.

The trial continues.
Diddy’s ex partner, Cassie Ventura, detailed her relationship with the hip-hop star and what happened during alleged freak-offs in the second day of his trial.

Diddy – whose real name is Sean Combs – was arrested and charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion last year after being detained at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan, New York.

The rapper has denied all allegations made against him.

After the opening remarks by both prosecution and defence were delivered on Monday (May 12), his former girlfriend, Casandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura, took to the stand on Tuesday (May 13) to detail how Combs allegedly would ‘punish’ her during their relationship, which lasted on-and-off from 2007 to 2018.

Her testimony is expected to continue today (May 14), with Combs’ defence lawyers to cross examine her.

Here’s what she said during Tuesday’s court session…
Combs and Ventura met in 2005 when he was 37 and she was 19. Combs signed her to his Bad Boy Records label and they started dating a few years later.

Ventura told the court that Combs would take away her things to ‘punish’ her, claiming that he would ‘would take the car away, the house, jewelry’, as well as her laptop and phone.

She further claimed that his staff or security would be the one to take them ‘if she wasn’t there’.

Ventura continued to allege that he would take things away ‘depending on how he felt’, adding: “It depended on how long I was being punished for.”

When asked if there was anything else he’d take beside her car and apartment, she replied: “My self-confidence.”

A CCTV video that had been made public and went viral last year was shown to jurors, which appeared to show Combs attacking her inside a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.

Cassie reveals ‘freak off’ experience and what allegedly happened at them
Explaining the alleged ‘freak-offs’, Ventura said they were ‘sexual encounter[s] called voyeurism’ where Combs would watch her have sex with another man.

Ventura recalled what happened when she was first introduced to these so-called ‘freak-off’ parties.

“I remember my stomach falling to my butt,” she said. “Just the nervousness and confusion… I had just turned 22.”

Ventura claims it involved hiring an escort and Combs would watch her with another man while directing them, as per the BBC.

She told how she didn’t want to be involved, but ultimately did so because she ‘loved him [Combs] very much’ and ‘wanted to make him happy’.

Ventura added: “The freak offs became a job. There was no time to do anything else but do them then try to recover. The longest was four days, significant periods of time.”

Ventura went on to tell the jury how she was scared to say no to the rapper and that physical violence was often on her mind.

She was also worried of ‘making him angry’ and told the court how Combs allegedly blackmailed her with video of the ‘freak-offs’ to get her to do more.

One horrific act alleged was when Ventura ‘felt like she was choking’ after Combs ‘made an escort urinate into her mouth’.

On the stand, Ventura claimed she and Combs got in arguments that would ‘result in violence, dragging’, adding that he would ‘stomp [her] in the head if I was down’.

When asked how often Combs became violent with her, she responded: “Too frequently.”

She alleged Combs would ‘bash on my head, knock me over, drag me, kick me’.

What Combs’ attorney has said
In response to the news of Combs’ arrest, his attorney Marc Agnifilo told UNILAD at the time: “We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

“Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community. He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal.

“To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

The trial is expected to last around eight weeks. If convicted, Combs faces up to life in prison.
