Cassie Ventura reveals the ‘painful' medical issues she suffered from brutal ‘Freak-Offs' with Sean ‘Diddy' Combs

Yahoo15-05-2025

Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura revealed during day two of her incredibly raw testimony at her ex Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex-trafficking trial the toll 'Freak-Offs' took on her body throughout their relationship.
Assistant United States Attorney Emily Johnson first asked the 'Me & U' singer, who was on the witness stand in Manhattan federal court Wednesday, what 'medical issues' she experienced.
'I had a lot of stomach issues and gastrointestinal issues from taking drugs,' Ventura, 38, explained.
During the first day of her testimony, the 'Long Way 2 Go' singer — who is eight months pregnant with her and husband Alex Fine's third child — said she would take ecstasy, marijuana, ketamine, GHB (also known as the 'date rape drug') or mushrooms during her romps with Combs and an escort.
'I couldn't imagine myself doing any of that without having some sort of buffer or a way to not feel the way it really was, which was emotionless and sex with a stranger who I didn't want to have sex with,' she said.
Ventura further testified Wednesday that the 'Freak-Offs' would give her 'frequent' urinary tract infections because the sex sessions were 'back to back.'
'I was doing a 'Freak-Off' with an infection,' she added before noting that even cranberry juices, pills or other remedies for UTIs did not work on her any longer, calling it 'just a mess.'
'[It was] really painful for a long time. I actually can't believe I dealt with that,' the soon-to-be mom of three reflected on the stand.
Ventura described having sex while suffering from a UTI as 'horrible' and 'the most uncomfortable, burning' sensation.
'I would not advise it,' she said in a rare lighthearted moment.
The 'King of Hearts' singer said she also had 'sores' on her tongue from the 'Freak-Offs' because of all the substances she would come in contact with, including oil and lubricants.
On Tuesday, Ventura testified that Combs, 55, once had a blow-up pool filled with oil and lube inside of a hotel room during one of their 'Freak-Offs' to give them 'glistening' bodies, which the rap mogul liked.
The songstress said Wednesday that Combs was aware of her health struggles. The court was showed a text in which the Bad Boy Records founder told her, 'I need you to go to the doc.'
'I took the blame for things. I just didn't understand why he was saying sorry about something that happened many times,' she said on the stand.
On Day 1, Ventura went into great detail about the 'Freak-Offs,' which she said Combs introduced her to when she was just 22. She said the 'Bad Boy for Life' rapper — who is 17 years her senior — viewed the acts as 'voyeurism,' which is when a person gets turned on by seeing others engage in sexual behaviors.
The 'Love a Loser' singer claimed one of the longest 'Freak-Offs' lasted four days or 'maybe even more,' and she sometimes had to do them while on her period. They occurred 'weekly' on a consistent basis throughout the course of their decade-long relationship.
She also recalled how Combs would ask her to call him an incestuous nickname and spoke about the time an escort and her then-boyfriend urinated in her mouth, causing her to 'choke.'
Ventura testified that she would need additional time to recover from the 'Freak-Offs,' particularly because of the dehydration and drug use.
Her emotional testimony, which at times brought her to tears, comes more than a year after she sued Combs for rape and settled with him shortly after.
Ventura is considered a key witness in the federal government's case against the 'Last Night' rapper, in which he faces charges for sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
A shocking surveillance video — which was just released in full — of Combs beating his former girlfriend in a hotel in 2016 has been entered as evidence of their years-long battle with domestic abuse.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' 'Eerie' Favorite TV Show Revealed in Trial

Earlier Tuesday, June 10, Sean "Diddy" Combs suffered another loss in court when a judge denied his legal team's attempt to declare a mistrial. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian rejected arguments from Combs' defense that focused on testimony from Bryana 'Bana' Bongolan, a close friend of Combs' ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura Fine. It was Combs' team's second attempt to declare a mistrial in the sex crimes case. Later in the trial on Tuesday, Combs' ex-girlfriend "Jane," testifying under a pseudonym, revealed under cross-examination that she "endured" nights in hotels with escorts because she wanted to spend time with Combs revealing nightly duties included bathing him, rubbing his feet, cuddling with him and watching his favorite TV show. "I felt loved by him because we experienced these things together," she said, via USA Today. In her testimony "Jane" revealed his favorite TV show true-crime franchise Dateline, which USA Today claimed as "eerie." The series features main host Lester Holt, who previously told USA Today that the show's stories are "relatable" because "you realize that people that do bad things could be across the street from you, their kids could go to school with yours." "A lot of the people in these stories were good people, up until the moment they weren't, or they were living normal lives like ours and then one day they became a victim of something really horrible," Holt said Combs faces five criminal counts: one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in 'Diddy' Combs' 'Eerie' Favorite TV Show Revealed in Trial first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 10, 2025

Combs' ex accuses him of abuse but says she loves him

An ex-girlfriend of Sean "Diddy" Combs who accuses him of kicking, punching and dragging her has testified at his sex trafficking trial that she still loves the hip-hop mogul. "He was my baby," said the woman, who is testifying under the pseudonym Jane to protect her privacy. Asked under cross-examination by defence lawyer Teny Geragos if she still loves Combs, Jane said, "I do". The woman said she enjoyed taking care of Combs, bathing him and falling asleep with him while watching television after "hotel nights", their phrase for drug-fuelled encounters in which she would have sex with male entertainers while Combs watched. The questioning was part of Combs' strategy to portray Jane as a willing participant in the sexual encounters with him, not a victim of sex trafficking as prosecutors allege. She said she agreed to these "hotel nights" while "under a lot of emotional pressure" - and already hooked on love and a desire to stay in a relationship with Combs. Jane testified that she partook in the encounters, sometimes grudgingly, because they pleased Combs and she enjoyed spending time alone with him afterward. Combs, 55, and the founder of Bad Boy Records, has pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors say Combs used force and threats of cutting off financial support to coerce women into taking part in the encounters, sometimes known as "Freak Offs". Over three days under questioning by prosecutors in Manhattan federal court, Jane said that she agreed to have sex with a male escort in front of Combs early in their relationship but that he later dismissed her requests to stop and threatened to stop paying her rent. On Monday, Jane said Combs kicked, punched and dragged her during an altercation at her Los Angeles home last June. Later that night, he told her to perform oral sex on a male entertainer even though she said she did not want to, Jane said. Under questioning on Tuesday, Jane said she researched the terms "cuck" and "cuckold" during her relationship with Combs to try to understand his desires. The words refer to men who enjoy watching female partners with other men, Jane said. "I just wanted to know why my partner wanted so many of these nights and what was driving him," Jane said. Combs' defence lawyers are expected to cross-examine Jane until Thursday. Testimony is in its fifth week. Combs could face life in prison if convicted on all counts. Also known throughout his career as Puff Daddy and P Diddy, Combs turned artists like Notorious B.I.G. and Usher into stars, elevating hip-hop in American culture and becoming a billionaire in the process. with AP
