Cassie confirms Trump hotel shooter Jonathan Oddi's 'sex slave' claims at Diddy trial
Cassie Ventura has admitted that she and Sean ' Diddy ' Combs had sexual relations with the gunman who opened fire on Donald Trump 's Doral Miami resort.
Ventura took the stand during Combs' sex trafficking trial Friday for more cross-examination Friday by the defense team.
The R&B singer was questioned about her relationship with Jonathan Oddi, a former porn star who fired shots at Trump's Doral Miami resort in 2018 and claimed during his arrest that he was a 'sex slave' for Combs.
Ventura told the court that she had met Oddi multiple times and even once feared that he had secretly recorded video of one of their 'freak-off' sex parties.
She testified that when she informed Combs about the video that he was concerned about it getting out and vowed to 'take care of it'.
Ventura said she 'didn't trust' Oddi and 'believes' their relationship ended after she caught him allegedly taping the sex session.
Oddi claimed during his arrest in 2018 that 'I had sex with Cassie and Sean' and that Combs had asked him to sign an NDA agreement. His allegations were immediately dismissed as farfetched conspiracy theories.
But Daily Mail exclusively revealed last week that Oddi signed a non-disclosure agreement with Combs in exchange for $5 million.
Ventura admitted on the stand Friday that she believed Oddi had taken a secret video of her, Combs and himself at a freak-off party.
Defense attorney Anna Estevao, probing Ventura about the encounter with Oddi, asked if he 'seemed volatile'.
'I don't know, I didn't trust him,' she told the court, prompting Combs' attorney to ask if Oddi was 'was threatening to release a sex video of you'.
Ventura replied: 'I don't know he actually did that….I don't remember…I was in the room with him and saw the phone up and told Sean.'
She admitted she was concerned that Oddi had been recording and claims that Sean told her 'I'll take care of it'.
Estevao also asked if she ended her relationship with Oddi after learning about the 'secret recording'.
'I believe so,' Ventura answered.
The defense added '(If he did this) you never would have had a Freak Off with him again?', to which Ventura replied: 'No.'
Ventura agreed that Combs spent a large sum of money and a significant amount of time trying to make sure the video went away, but said she 'didn't know the details' of his arrangement with Oddi.
Ventura confirmed during earlier testimony this week that she had slept with Oddi, allegedly under the orders of her controlling rapper boyfriend.
Oddi was arrested in May 2018 after he opened fire in Trump's Doral Miami resort.
He was taken down by police and then interrogated about his motives. It was then that he revealed his links to Combs and Ventura.
'I had sex with Cassie [Ventura] and Sean [Combs],' Oddi said in the police video.
'Basically, he would masturbate and tell me what to do to Cassie. I was like a sex slave. For them, that's what I was.'
At the time, his comments were dismissed as the delusions of a mentally ill maniac.
But documents seen by the Daily Mail last week revealed an NDA was signed by Oddi and Combs in 2014.
Oddi told police in Doral that he signed the document in exchange for $5 million.
'He's scared I will expose him,' he said of the rapper. 'My settlement put me in a box. Basically, I couldn't talk because I was going to be sued. They kept following me.'
Oddi also claimed to have turned over a tape to Diddy's then lawyer, Mark Geragos. The contents of that alleged tape are unknown.
Ventura was back on the witness stand for a second day of cross-examination by Combs' lawyers, after having been forced the day before to read aloud explicit and lurid messages she sent Combs during their tumultuous, nearly 11-year relationship that ended in 2018.
The singer is the prosecution's star witness. Her lawsuit in 2023 accused Combs of physical and sexual abuse, and it set in motion the investigation which culminated in this month's trial. Several other women who accuse him of abuse are set to testify.
Prosecutors allege that Combs used his fame and fortune to orchestrate an empire of exploitation, coercing women into abusive sex parties.
His lawyers argue that all the sexual acts were consensual, and although he could be violent, he never veered into sex trafficking and racketeering.
Combs has pleaded not guilty to federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. His defense says that, although he could be violent, nothing he did amounted to a criminal enterprise. Combs insists all the sex was consensual.

Democrat politician and her husband killed in ‘politically motivated assassination'
A Democratic politician and her husband have been shot and killed during a series of 'politically motivated assassination' attempts in Minnesota. Melissa Hortman, the Democratic speaker in Minnesota's House of Representatives, along with her husband, was shot by a gunman in their home in the early hours of Saturday. John Hoffman, a Democratic state senator, and his spouse were also shot multiple times. Both have received surgery and are expected to survive, officials say. Police have issued a shelter order around the Brooklyn Park area of Minnesota as they hunt for a gunman who may be impersonating a police officer. Officers arriving at Ms Hortman's home arrived to find an SUV police equipped with emergency lights. The suspect was wearing a vest, and armed with a taser and other equipment while pretending to be a police officer, said Mark Bruley, the Brooklyn Park police chief. Officers decided to check Ms Hortman's home as a precaution after Mr Hoffman was shot. '[The] Suspect exploited the trust of our uniforms, what our uniforms are meant to represent', said Bob Johnson, a public safety Commissioner. 'That betrayal is deeply disturbing to those of us who wear the badge with honour and responsibility.' After an exchange of gunfire, the suspect fled on foot out of the back of the house. A manhunt is under way to find the gunman. 'It was not a real police officer. This is somebody that clearly had been impersonating a police officer. Again, using the trust of this badge and this uniform to manipulate their way into the home,' Mr Ruth said. A search of the car found a manifesto which included other political targets, he added. An alert warning residents that officers were looking for a suspected gunman was sent at 5.30am by Brooklyn Park Police. 'Police are looking for a suspect in multiple targeted shootings who is armed and dangerous,' the message read. 'Suspect is white male, brown hair, wearing black body armour over a blue shirt and blue pants and may misrepresent himself as law enforcement.' According to Fox 9, one suspect was already in custody. The gunman or men reportedly fled the scene in a car that 'looked like a police car,' a source told the station. The shelter-in-place order is currently being enforced in the three mile radius of Minnesota's Edinburgh Golf Course. Tim Walz, the Minnesota governor, said the killings appeared to be a 'politically motivated assassination.' 'My good friend and colleague, Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, were shot and killed early this morning in what appears to be a politically motivated assassination,' Mr Walz said. 'Our state lost a great leader, and I lost a dearest of friends. 'She was a formidable public servant, a fixture and a giant in Minnesota. She woke up every day determined to make this state a better place. 'She is irreplaceable, and we've been missed by so many.' Mr Walz said he had activated a state-emergency-operations centre to deal with the incident. 'I've been briefed this morning on an ongoing situation involving targeted shootings in Champlin and Brooklyn Park,' Mr Waltz wrote on X. 'The Minnesota Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement are on the scene. 'We will share more information soon.' Mr Hoffman, a Democrat, was first elected in 2012. He runs Hoffman Strategic Advisors, a consulting firm. He previously served as vice chair of the Anoka Hennepin School Board, which manages the largest school district in Minnesota. Mr Hoffman is married and has one daughter. Ms Hortman is the top House Democratic leader in the state legislature and a former House speaker. She was first elected in 2004. Ms Hortman, a lawyer, is married and has two children. Both represent districts located north of Minneapolis. Dan Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI, said the bureau is 'fully engaged on the ground in Minnesota and is working in collaboration with our local and state partners'. Pam Bondi, the attorney general, said: 'I am closely monitoring developments in Minnesota after what appears to be a targeted attack against state lawmakers. 'The FBI is on the ground investigating this case alongside state and local partners. This horrific violence will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.'
