Cassie Ventura's second day on the witness stand in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial found the R&B singer recalling the physical abuse she suffered at his hands, saying at one point, she texted Combs comparing him to Ike Turner, who infamously abused wife and rock music icon, Tina Turner, for years.
During her Wednesday (May 14) testimony, NBC News reports Cassie read a text message she sent to Combs after an abusive episode aloud, saying, 'You treat me like Ike Turner.' She went on to say on the stand, 'He was abusive and controlling, he was physically abusive, he put me down a lot as much as I would be built up, the sheer embarrassment, how he treated me in front of other people.'
She also testified to being injured during 'freak-offs' due to Diddy becoming violent if things didn't go exactly as he wanted.
'Sean would put his hands on me, he would push me down … kick me,' she told the courtroom. 'There were other times, if we were having a bad time or if I was scared of him, uncomfortable, typically I would leave and go out the back of the hotel.' When asked by prosecutors how often Combs would injure her during the 'freak-offs,' she replied, 'Too often.'
She also says the frequency of the freak-offs led to urinary tract infections, mouth sores and gastrointestinal issues. 'When we were having frequent 'freak offs' — they were back to back — and sometimes I would do a 'freak off' with the infection,' she said. 'I tried to flush it out with water. I got to the point where CIPRO (an antibiotic) didn't work anymore. It was a mess.' She added that the mouth sores were a result of constantly performing oral sex with lubricant.
The 'Long Way 2 Go' artist also recalled fighting Combs off at one point and gashing her face in the process, testifying, 'Sean came in. I was asleep. He was trying to attack me. We went into the master bedroom. My friends were jumping on his back trying to stop him. I cut my eyebrow on the corner of the bed. Sean threw me onto the bed frame. I had a significant gash. I didn't go to the ER; it was a Sunday. Sean had security take me to a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills.'
After the incident, she texted Combs a photo of her injury captioned, 'so you can remember.' The Bad Boy founder then responded, 'You dont know when to stop, you have pushed it too far.'
'Just say sorry,' she replied. 'I dont know why i deserve that, you could care less if i was ok.'
