Cassie Testifies Diddy Forced Her into Sex During Her Period — and Described an Especially 'Humiliating' Act
Casandra "Cassie" Ventura told jurors in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial that he forced her to have sex while she had her period,
The "Me & You" singer, who is married to personal trainer Alex Fine and eight months pregnant with their child, told jurors on Tuesday, May 13 how the hip-hop mogul forced her to take part in sex encounters called "Freak Offs" that Combs often filmed.
Ventura told the jury how she did whatever Combs allegedly asked of her, mostly out of fear.

'I was expected to have freak offs on my period," she testified. "Sean would expect it. I don't think anyone wants to do that.'
Combs, she continued, or one of the male escorts hired to have sex with her, sometimes "would urinate on me" during these Freak Offs.

When Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson asked Ventura if she wanted an escort to urinate on her, Ventura replied firmly, "No. But there was no conversation. It was a turn-on for (Combs), so it happened."
Ventura testified she was 'choking' because there was 'too much urine in my mouth,' sometimes from both Combs and the escort urinating in it at the same time.
"I don't want anyone to urinate on me," she testified. "Sean would urinate in my mouth — not super often but often enough.'Johnson asked Ventura why she didn't say no to this. 'I was squeamish, high and in the moment with this man, so that's what happened," Ventura replied. "There is not a whole lot of control you have with two men standing over you peeing. I thought it was obvious I didn't want to do it."
After a Freak Off was finished, Ventura says she was left to clean up the hotel room they were in, which was usually covered in blood and urine.
Arrested in September 2024, Combs pleaded not guilty to five counts of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.
On the first day of the trial on Monday, Mon. 12, in Manhattan federal court, jurors saw surveillance video of the hip-hop mogul beating and kicking Ventura in the elevator bank of a hotel lobby in 2016.
Johnson told jurors in her opening statement that Combs is the mastermind behind a vast criminal enterprise he used to allegedly lure in women, drug them and force them to have sex.
In her opening statement, Combs' defense attorney Teny Geragos said that any sex between her client and Ventura was consensual, as was the fact that she stayed with him for more than a decade.
Combs could face up to life in prison if he is convicted on all counts. Since his 2024 arrest, he has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Complex in Brooklyn.

Eric Dane vows ALS won't be 'the end' for him
Eric Dane doesn't feel his ALS diagnosis means "the end". The 52-year-old actor announced in April that he is battling the incurable degenerative condition - which is formally known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and impacts the nervous system and causes muscle paralysis - but he is trying to be optimistic, even though there is no escaping the reality of his health issues. In a teaser clip for an interview with Diane Sawyer which will air on Good Morning America on Monday (16.06.25), he said: 'I wake up every day and I'm immediately reminded that this is happening. It's not a dream.' At another point in the brief footage, he added: 'I don't think this is the end of my story. I don't feel like this is the end of me." At the end of the trailer, Diane asked Eric who his first call was after he received his diagnosis, causing him to grow tearful and bow his head, with the clip stopping before his answer. The former Grey's Anatomy star - who has Billie, 15, and Georgia, 13, with wife Rebecca Gayheart - has continued to work on Euphoria since his diagnosis. Announcing the news in April, Eric told People magazine: "I have been diagnosed with ALS. I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter. "I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of 'Euphoria' next week. I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time." ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease - after the baseball player of the same name who was diagnosed with the condition in 1939 - and is the most common form of motor neurone disease. The average survival time after diagnosis is three years, but some ALS patients with a slow-progressing form of the disease can live much longer. Physicist Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with the condition at the age of 21 and he lived until he was 76. Eric and Rebecca married in Las Vegas in 2005 but the 53-year-old actress filed for divorce back in 2018. However, she filed paperwork in March to have the petition dismissed. Shortly before Eric went public with his health crisis, Rebecca insisted they are closer than ever. Speaking to E! News, she explained: "We are best of friends. We are really close. "We are great co-parents. I think it's important to not look at a relationship that ends as a failure. It's just a season. It wasn't a failure. It was a huge success. "We were married for, I mean, we are still married, but together for 15 years, and we had two beautiful kids so I think that's a successful relationship, and that's how we look at it."
