Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' horrifying assault on ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura seen in new footage
The unedited recording, filmed during an alleged 'freak-off' at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016, was shown in its entirety to the court at Diddy's trial in Manhattan.
Cassie, 38, opened up about her relationship with Diddy as she took to the stand in his sex trafficking trial for the first time Wednesday.
The disgraced rapper is currently on trial in New York on five charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied all allegations against him.
The Telegraph has reported that the court heard that the rapper 'wielded his power to force women into days-long sex parties' he called freak offs, including Cassie.
It was also reported that those who did not comply were made to take drugs or were sexually assaulted.
The hearings began on Monday and have focused on the 55-year-old's 11-year romance with the Me & U singer, who he dated on-and-off between 2007 and 2018.
Unedited hotel security footage reveals the full scope of Diddy's attack on Cassie Ventura
The footage shows Cassie attempting to make her way to the elevator before Diddy appears, grabs her by the back of the head, and throws her to the ground before kicking her motionless body repeatedly.
Diddy then drags Cassie back to the room by the back of the head before the clip shows a security guard, Israel Florez, appearing.
Florez testified in court Tuesday, saying Diddy said at the time: 'I don't want to lose anything and I can lose it all.' He also claimed Diddy offered him a bribe to attempt to get him to 'take care of' the incident.
He then asked Diddy to return to his room and 'respect the guest [Cassie] and myself.'
What to do if you're experiencing domestic abuse
If you are experiencing domestic abuse, you are not alone. And whether you are currently coping with or have made the decision to leave, you do have options.
If you are thinking about leaving, domestic abuse charity Refuge suggests starting a record of abusive incidents, which might include saving pictures or messages, or making notes of times, dates and details of incidents.
The next step is to make copies of important documents such as court orders, marriage certificates, National Insurance Numbers and your driving licence.
In the meantime, identify the safer areas of your home so that you know where to go if your abuser becomes aggravated. Ideally, this should be a room with a phone and a door or window to the outside.
If you feel ready to leave, start by making a plan for a safe, reliable route out. If you feel safe to do so, pack an emergency bag so that you leave in a hurry if needed.
You can access a local refuge, either with or without children, for as long as you need to stay. The address is confidential. The National Domestic Abuse Helpline (0808 2000 247) is open 24-hours a day and has all the details of refuges in your area.
In an emergency situation, ring 999 and ask for the police. If you aren't able to talk, try the Silent Solution: after dialling 999, listen to the questions from the operator and respond by coughing or tapping your device, if possible. If prompted, press 55 to let the operator know it's an emergency – you'll be put through to the police.
After Diddy allegedly raised his voice at Cassie, 'I then told him that if he didn't respect the guest, then he would be escorted out of the property,' Florez said.
According to The Daily Mail, he also submitted an email showing his report of the incident that includes photos of the hotel room in disarray.
The publication asserts that Diddy slowly shook his head as the footage played in front of the courtroom and jury, who were struck silent by the horrifying violence.
Cassie Ventura describes traumatic 'freak offs' in court testimony
Appearing in the courtroom on Wednesday, Cassie became emotional as she discussed the time she spent with the music mogul.
Unpacking their 11-year, on-off relationship, she said: 'I began to just experience a different side of him,' via BBC, sharing that he wanted to control much of her life, including her appearance and career.
She alleged that things soon became violent, and that Combs would 'bash on my head, knock me over, drag me, kick me', with the alleged assaults occurring 'too frequently.'
According to the publication, Cassie wiped away tears as she recalled details about the freak offs.
In the federal indictment, which was unsealed after the businessman's arrest, it was claimed that he coerced multiple alleged victims into sex acts, known as 'freak offs'.
It was claimed that he organized the 'freak offs', and has been accused of 'directing, masturbating during, and often electronically recording' the 'elaborate and produced sex performances.'
He is also said to have forced, or coerced, women to participate with male sex workers, who were reportedly flown in to take part.
On the stand, the BBC reports that Ventura described it as a 'sexual encounter called voyeurism' in which he would watch her having sex with another man.
When asked how she felt when Combs first proposed a 'freak off', she said via AP: 'I just remember my stomach falling to my butt. Just the nervousness and confusion in that moment.'
The incidents reportedly entailed the Empire actress 'setting up this experience so that I could perform for Sean'.
She claimed that she didn't feel as though she could turn down the request, because she 'didn't know what 'no' could be, or what 'no' could turn into.'
'The freak offs became a job,' she told jurors, reportedly sharing that they could last up to 36 or 48 hours, with the longest one she was involved in taking four days.
Those participating in the marathon sex sessions would routinely require recovery from drug use, dehydration, and fatigue, it was alleged.
Combs would allegedly blackmail Ventura with videos of the 'freak offs' to get her to do more, she claimed.
Diddy's unseen celebrity photos he posted then deleted after wild night in Ibiza
Ten-year-old photos Diddy took at a birthday celebration in Ibiza, Spain with Cassie Ventura have also reemerged as the trial has unfolded.
The rapper posted pictures of the August 1, 2014, party to social media but deleted them shortly after, creating speculation at the time.
The celebration was for fashion designer Riccardo Tisci on his 40th birthday, and the pictures have reemerged online in recent days.
According to the photos, the party was attended by Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, 20-year-old Justin Bieber, supermodel Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, and Kendall Jenner; actors Zac Efron and Jared Leto; and reality stars Kris Jenner and Paris Hilton.

Over 100 women's rights groups warn linking sex abuse to migration is 'racist diversion'
In a letter to Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper, organisations including Rape Crisis England and Wales, the End Violence Against Women Coalition and Refuge called on ministers to stand up to the 'dangerous narrative' More than 100 women's rights groups have warned "racist" attempts to link sexual violence with immigration are putting victims at increased risk. Rape Crisis England and Wales, the End Violence Against Women Coalition and Refuge are among the organisations warning anti-migrant groups and politicans are "hijacking" survivors' trauma. They have signed a letter to Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Yvette Coooper warning that sexual abuse must not be used for political gain - and those who spread misinformation must be held to account. They pointed to demonstrations outside asylum hotels and comments by senior Reform and Tory figures, including Nigel Farage and Robert Jenrick. In a joint statement the groups wrote: "We have been alarmed in recent weeks by an increase in unfounded claims made by people in power, and repeated in the media, that hold particular groups as primarily responsible for sexual violence. This not only undermines genuine concerns about women's safety but also reinforces the damaging myth that the greatest risk of gender-based violence comes from strangers." They warn that hijacking the issue "ultimately impedes" efforts to tackle the root causes, and told the PM: "We write as organisations on the frontlines of combatting VAWG to urge the Government to address this dangerous narrative." In their statement, co-ordinated by End Violence Against Women Coalition, Women for Refugee Women, Hibiscus and Southall Black Sisters, the groups said linking sex offences with migration is a "racist diversion". They said violence against women and girls must be tackled with investment in prevention services and support for survivors, but state: " Instead, the issue is being hijacked by people seeking to use women and girls' pain and trauma - and the threat of it - for political gain. "Over recent weeks, people claiming to care about the 'safety of women and children' have left families, women and children living in temporary asylum accommodation afraid to leave their front door. "They follow in the footsteps of the rioters who used the appalling murder of three young girls as an excuse to bring violence to our streets; with targeted attacks against migrant, minoritised and Muslim communities." Last month it emerged that over 40% of 899 people arrested over last summer's riots had previously been reported to police for domestic abuse. The statement said: "That two out of five of those arrested for that disorder themselves had police histories of domestic abuse illustrates not only the pervasiveness of gender-based violence but the disingenuous nature of many of those who claim to have the interests of women and children at heart. "Meanwhile, members of Parliament freely share false statistics about the nationality of perpretators . Government ministers have even endorsed some of this summer's demonstrators as having 'legitimate' concerns , which risks normalising and enabling the spreading of racist narratives by the far-right.." Last month Mr Farage claimed there was an "alarming parallel" between reported rates and "wholly irresponsible immigration and asylum policies". And Tory Mr Jenrick was criticised after saying 40% of all sex offences were committed by foreign nationals - with experts saying the numbers used to calculate the figure are not robust. The women's rights groups said: "Not only do these falsehoods fail to keep women safe, they serve as a racist distraction that actively impedes the urgent work of addressing gender-based violence." Their statement said "myths and misconceptions" about sexual violence allow perpetrators to "hide behind racial stereotypes and scapegoating". And they also warn marginalised survivors are put at even greater risk. They said: "We urge the Government to show leadership in responding to the weaponisation of VAWG, including changing its framing of migration, promoting an accurate picture of violence against women and girls, and holding those who spread misinformation to account." The groups point out that a women is killed by a partner or ex-partner every four day on average, and more than 90% of rape and sex assault are known to their victims. One in two rapes are committed by a partner or former partner, and one in three adult rape survivors are attacked in their own homes. Women and girls who do not qualify for public funds are three times more likely to experience violence. Andrea Simon, director of the End Violence Against Women Coalition (EVAW), said: "The far-right has long exploited the cause of ending violence against women and girls to promote a racist, white supremacist agenda. "These attacks against migrant and racialised communities are appalling and do nothing to improve women and girls' autonomy, rights and freedoms. What's more, they ignore the reality that most violence against women and girls is perpetrated by someone known to them." And Dr Baljit Banga, chief executive of feminist support organisation Hibiscus, said: 'The far right's weaponisation of VAWG undermines efforts to safeguard victims and survivors. "Moreover, targeting Black, minoritised, and migrant communities by distorting public debate and misinterpreting data only serves to exacerbate racial and social inequalities, to the detriment of women experiencing VAWG." And she added: "We refuse to let women's safety be turned into hate speech." A Reform spokesman responded: "Latest polling shows Reform has gained 14% among women, while Labour have lost 12%."

Coronation Street fans left open-mouthed by 'gross' sex scene as two iconic stars strip completely naked and romp on kitchen table - before being caught by horrified relative
Coronation Street fans were left open-mouthed by a sex scene which saw Steve and Cassie get down and dirty on a kitchen table. The eye-popping romp in the Dobbs household was witnessed by none other than Tyrone, who accidentally walked in on the tryst. Horrified at what he is witnessing, he blurts out: 'What are you playing at? There are rooms upstairs!' An embarrassed Steve then quickly covered his manhood with a teddy bear. He then tried - and failed - to change the subject by telling Tyrone he has got him some beer. The awkward encounter comes after Steve and Cassie's relationship has heated up in recent months. Corrie fans were quick to take to social media to comment on the X-rated scene, with many expressing their disgust. They wrote: 'Did not want to see that with Steve & Cassie #Corrie'; 'Cassie and Steve being naked was not something I wanted to see'; 'Oh Jesus Steve and Cassie my tea's just come back up thanks to you!'; 'Steve and Cassie are getting kind of gross now. They should book a room at Debbie's Hotel if they want to get busy.' Another simply joked about Steve's attempt to cover up: 'That poor teddy bear.' But not everyone who witnessed the sex scene was disgusted and others simply found it hilarious, writing: 'Great to see comedy in Corrie again.'; 'These two are so funny.' Corrie fans were quick to take to social media to comment on the X-rated scene, with many expressing their disgust The romp comes after it was revealed earlier this year that the long-running soap is pulling in record viewers in 2025. Alongside more hard-hitting (and in this case eye-popping) storylines, Corrie is now available to view on ITVX from 7am on the day of broadcast. This meant that soap fans could either choose to tune in early or watch their favourite soaps at a time that better suits them. The decision to make the change came after BBC soap EastEnders made a similar switch to iPlayer a few years ago. Following the change, which was also applied to Emmerdale, both shows have enjoyed a record 124 million streams in 2025's first quarter.

Coronation Street viewers left feeling ‘sick' at X-rated sex scene as characters strip naked
CORONATION Street viewers have admitted they feel "sick" after the soap aired some racy naked sex scenes. Viewers of the ITV soap opera did not know where to look as two characters ditched their clothes to get down to it. 4 The rather intimate scenes were mixed in with Corrie's classic humour as Tyrone Dobbs walked in on his own mother romping with Steve at the family kitchen table. Steve and Cassie have been romancing one another for some months now on the Street but their latest display of affection had an unwanted visitor. Getting playful and passionate, Steve and Cassie ended up getting down to business in the Dobbs household's front room. However, when Tyrone came home early, he was left open-mouthed when he walked in to see the pair at it. Realising her son was stood behind her staring at her naked, Cassie leaped onto the sofa and pulled a blanket over her to cover her modesty. Meanwhile, Steve was not as shy, letting his naked body be seen by Tyrone apart from a strategically placed cuddly toy to protect his private parts. Reacting furiously and in shock, Tyrone first said: "What are you playing at? "There are rooms upstairs!" However, the X-rated moment left some fans with their stomach's turning as one complained about the over-the-top display. One penned: "Many people found this funny but I think it was sick!! These two are OTT at the moment!! Who writes these scripts?" Coronation Street proposal goes badly wrong as Carla Connor forced to call it off As another added: "Steve and Cassie are getting kind of gross now. They should book a room at Debbie's Hotel if they want to get busy." As a third simply added: "That poor teddy bear." However, others found the scene hilarious and praised Corrie for bringing some humour back into the soap having been criticised for months over it's lacklustre storylines. They declared: "Great to see comedy in Corrie again." As a second echoed: "These two are so funny."
