The "Me & You" singer said she would have to perform even when she was suffering from painful urinary tract infections (UTIs), alleging that Combs threatened to release footage of her from the sexual encounters should she stop participating in them. "I would get sores on my tongue from the freak offs from taking drugs," Ventura, 38, recounted in her testimony, according to NBC News, "from oral sex, also from having my mouth on things where there was oil and Astroglide and lubricants." Ventura ultimately left Combs in 2018 after more than a decade of dating. "It was always in the back of my mind that I would somehow be hurt by him," Ventura testified. "Sean is a really polarizing person. He was very charming, it was hard to decide in that moment when he was telling you what he wanted. I just didn't know what would happen."

Sean Diddy Combs trial: Most shocking bombshells from Cassie Ventura's testimony
Cassie Ventura, who dated Sean 'Diddy' Combs for over a decade until 2018, appeared in court as the star witness during his high-profile sex trafficking trial. The pregnant R&B singer took the stand this week to testify against the disgraced music mogul. Her harrowing testimony revealed graphic details on everything from freak-offs and drug use to the emotional and physical abuse she endured throughout their 11-year relationship. Here's a roundup of the most shocking bombshell moments of Ventura's testimony during trial. How Cassie's relationship with Diddy started The duo met when the Bad Boy Records founder signed then 19-year-old Ventura to record her first album with the label. The business relationship turned romantic on her 21st birthday when Combs kissed her during a trip to Las Vegas. Ventura admitted she cried after the kiss because 'there was a 17-year age difference.' 'I was really confused at the time, you know, new artiste. I was pretty naive,' she said on the stand. She also revealed she wasn't sober the first time they had sex. 'I was drinking wine, then started to take drugs, a blue dolphin ecstasy pill,' she said. 'Sean gave it to me, I had never taken it before. I was just out of it, laughing, didn't know what it was until a little bit later.' Diddy's 'insanely jealous' behavior The Me & You singer spoke about Diddy's 'insanely jealous' and controlling behaviours throughout their relationship. Ventura said Combs would have his security guards keep an eye on her at all times and that he had keys to her apartment. She also told jurors he kept many guns in his homes and would force her to carry one for him as a fear tactic. 'Sean controlled a lot of my life, whether it was career, the way I dressed, everything,' she testified. 'I just didn't have much say in it at the time.' Violence frequently occurred Ventura said Diddy first got violent when she was 21, shortly after they became romantically involved in 2007. 'He hit me in the side of my head and I fell to the floor of the car,' she recalled. The violence only continued from there, according to Ventura. When asked how often Combs physically assaulted her, she replied, 'Too frequently.' She said if she even so much as made the wrong expression, 'the next thing [she] knew, [she] was getting hit in the face.' Ventura detailed another alleged incident in 2009, during which Diddy attacked her for an entire 10-minute car ride. She said she was punched and kicked during another beating in 2015 that left her with'black eyes' and 'golf-ball sized knots' on her forehead. Any attempt to fight back 'just made him more violent,' she claimed. Following the assaults, Combs' team would often set her up in hotels or lock her away at home to hide until her wounds healed, she said. Ventura testified that many people, including Combs' security guards, drivers and assistants, were witness to the brutal attacks and did nothing to stop them. Sean 'Diddy' Combs watches as Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura leaves for a break in her testimony during Combs' sex trafficking trial in New York City, New York, US, May 15, 2025 in this courtroom sketch. Photo: Reuters How Cassie was introduced to freak-offs Ventura said she was 22 when she was first asked to participate in one of Diddy's infamous sex parties known as 'freak-offs.' 'He described it as a fantasy he had where he would want to see me having sexual interactions with another male so he could watch,' she revealed, saying she was afraid to say no out of fear he would react with physical violence. 'I just remember my stomach falling to my butt,' she recalled. 'I was confused, nervous, but I loved him so much.' Ventura said the freak-offs happened almost every week for the subsequent years, sometimes for days at a time, and were often filmed without her consent. She claimed Combs would later threaten to release the recordings when he was angry with her. What the baby oil was used for Authorities allegedly found over 1,000 bottles of baby oil after raiding Diddy's homes in March 2024, according to prosecutors. Ventura said the baby oil was poured on people's bodies during freak-offs. She also described an incident in which Combs requested she get inside an inflatable pool filled with baby oil, and she once again feared what would happen if she refused. 'If Sean wanted it to happen, that was what was going to happen, there was no way around it,' she said. 'We used 10 bottles of baby oil, regular-size.' Drug use during freak-offs According to Ventura, Combs plied her with ecstasy and cocaine to keep her awake while performing sexual acts during freak-offs. 'I was high, so I didn't feel much,' she tearfully said on the stand. 'Did this really happen to me? I didn't know what was going to happen after that, if we were going to do it more frequently. I said yes to more, I didn't want to make him upset or angry.' Ventura said she eventually developed an opiate addiction from the drugs Combs supplied her. Diddy forced a male escort to urinate in Cassie's mouth The 38-year-old spoke of a time when Combs told a male escort to urinate in her mouth during a freak-off. 'There was no conversation. It was a turn-on for him, so it happened,' she said. 'I just felt humiliated. It was disgusting. It was too much. I choked. I didn't want to be doing that. … Sean urinated on me at the same time.' Ventura again described being high and unable to control the situation, particularly with 'two men standing over you.' Cassie was forced to have sex during her period Ventura testified that Combs expected her to perform in the freak-offs even during her menstrual cycle. 'He wanted that and I did not want to do that,' she said on the stand. 'Blood would get on the linens.' She further described suffering numerous UTIs from the frequent orgies. Diddy raped Cassie amid their breakup After Ventura attempted to end the relationship in 2018, Combs allegedly raped her on the floor of her home, she testified on the stand. 'His eyes were black, he wasn't himself, it was like somebody taking something from you,' she said, describing how she was crying and saying 'no' during the attack. Ventura confessed she was consensually intimate with Combs one more time before ending the relationship for good. When asked why she would voluntarily have sex with Combs after being raped, she admitted it was difficult to extricate herself from the relationship after nearly 11 years. Cassie considered suicide after suffering flashbacks Years after leaving Combs, debilitating flashbacks of the abuse led Ventura to consider ending her life. 'I didn't want to be alive anymore at that point,' she said of having suicidal thoughts in 2023. 'I couldn't take the pain I was in.' Ventura tearfully recalled one instance in March of that year when she 'tried to walk out the front door into traffic' – while her two daughters were asleep in the house. Her husband, Alex Fine, who's been supporting her in court, stopped her from walking out the door that night. – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service

Cassie Testifies Diddy Would Kick Her During 'Freak Offs' and Texted Her Something Abusive After Injuring Her
Opening arguments in Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial began Mon., May 12, at a federal court in Manhattan Combs pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution Prosecutors allege that Combs is the mastermind behind a criminal enterprise that forced women to perform sex acts The degrading acts that Sean 'Diddy' Combs allegedly forced Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura to perform for his pleasure took a toll on her health, she told jurors on Wed., May 14. 'Occasionally I'd get sores on my tongue from doing drugs," the R&B singer testified on day three of Combs' high-profile federal sex crimes trial in Manhattan federal court. "Also (from) having my mouth on different things from oil and lubricants.' When Ventura texted Combs to let him know she had painful sores on her tongue and "another UTI," he responded by saying, "I'm sorry," she testified.

Hotel — and Reveals Why She Didn't Fight Back The former model and "Me & You" singer, who is married to personal trainer Alex Fine and is eight months pregnant with their child, is testifying about the physical and emotional abuse she allegedly endured at the hands of her powerful ex-boyfriend of 11 years. Ventura alleges that Combs forced her to take part in orchestrated sex acts called "Freak Offs" that he filmed, threatening to use the tapes as blackmail to derail her music career. She testified that she took drugs to help her get through these encounters. When Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson asked Ventura why she didn't refuse to take part in the Freak Offs, Ventura said she complied because she loved him and because she allegedly feared his became violent with Ventura when he was angry at her but also during their Freak Offs with male escorts, she told jurors. Related: Cassie Alleges She Would Become Ill During 'Freak Offs' — and Diddy Would Keep 'Encouraging' Her to Have Sex Combs, she alleged, would sometimes 'put his hands on me. He would grab me up, push me down. Hit me in the side of the head. Kick me. You name it.' Ventura recalled one incident n 2013, when Combs attacked her in front of two friends, prompting them to 'jump on his back." When she cut her eyebrow on the bed during the struggle, Combs asked members of his security team to take her to a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon to check it out. When she sent him a photo of the injury, he allegedly responded, 'You. Don't know. When to. Stop. You have pushed IT Too far. And continue to push. Sad.' Related: Cassie Set to Continue Emotional Testimony at Diddy Trial: Day 3 Live Updates 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, May 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 women with promises of romance and help with their careers, 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.
