See all the shocking photos released from Diddy trial so far as star fights sex trafficking charges
As Sean ' Diddy ' Combs fights his ongoing federal trial in Manhattan, prosecutors have presented a cache of suggestive, racy, and allegedly damning images from his heyday. On Monday, perhaps the most shocking set of images were released as the trial focused on the day Combs was arrested in a New York City hotel room in September 2024. Diddy had already been indicted at the time and was holed up in a hotel room at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan for over a week, waiting for his imminent arrest. But according to prosecutors, the disgraced rap mogul was intent on having one last hurrah 'freak off' before being taken into custody, and when officers breached his room they found a trove of baby oil and drugs awaiting the sexual marathons. The release of the images sparked a frenzy on social media - after the public previously saw shocking text messages where Cassie Ventura said she 'loved' freak offs. Other bombshell images from the trial included injuries Cassie says she sustained in their turbulent relationship, and intimate pictures from the first time the couple had sex on ecstasy after her 21st birthday. Here, reveals the most scandalous and eye-popping images that lift the lid on Diddy's alleged life of debauchery. DIDDY'S HOTEL ROOM ARREST Gasps were reportedly heard inside the Manhattan courtroom when the images from inside Diddy's hotel room arrest were revealed this week. Images taken inside the room show an arrangement of baby oil - a product now intrinsically linked with Diddy's sex trafficking case - near to a mysterious pink powder in small bags. Pills in bottles prescribed to 'Frank Black', a possible pseudonym for Combs, were also in the room, alongside mood lighting and stacks of cash. Prosecutors claimed some drugs found in the room were found to be ketamine and MDMA, and Cassie testified that 'pungent' candles were also a common theme in the freak offs. THE TRIP THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING Cassie told the court that when she first met Combs almost 20 years ago, their relationship was a platonic mentorship to help her music career. But she said everything changed shortly after she turned 21, when they had sex for the first time on a trip to Miami and their tryst escalated. She said they had been day-drinking on a boat party and alleged that Diddy gave her an ecstasy pill shaped like a blue dolphin. 'We were just having a good time,' she recalled. Cassie said everything changed shortly after she turned 21, when they had sex for the first time on a trip to Miami and their tryst escalated BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE FREAK OFFS Cassie offered intimate details of how particular Diddy allegedly was about his 'freak-off' sessions as prosecutors showed behind-the-scenes images from preparations for the events. In one image, Cassie was seen wearing a long thigh-high lace boot, and she said she often wore outfits and wigs during the marathon sexual performances. Cassie also alleged that Diddy would use mood lighting and a 'red room' to set the tone for the hours-long sessions. CASSIE'S BUSTED LIP Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura took the stand for over four days at the start of the high-profile trial, where she claimed she suffered years of abuse and was coerced into the 'freak offs.' At the conclusion of her testimony, prosecutors showed an image of the singer with a busted lip. Cassie said she sustained the injury in a horror episode inside a Los Angeles hotel where Combs was caught on surveillance footage kicking and stomping on her. 'That's me, a selfie of me with a fat lip,' the singer said in court when questioned over the picture. In another injury picture, Cassie was seen with a large cut over her eye that she alleged happened when Diddy threw her into a bed frame in Canada. A-LISTERS AT INFAMOUS 'DIDDY PARTIES' Throughout the weeks-long trial, a number of A-list celebrities and high-profile figures have been named and seen in pictures related to Diddy's notorious parties. Not all celebrities in the images are accused of any wrongdoing, but were seen living it up at the same parties where women were allegedly drugged and coerced. Stars including Leo DiCaprio have been snapped at the bashes, including one where The Revenant actor sipped champagne surrounded by Diddy and other attendees. Other pictures showed Cassie and Diddy lounging on a couch outside as other women joined them, and in another Cassie was seen partying with former best friend Kerry Morgan for her 21st birthday. CASSIE AND DIDDY'S TEXTS While most of the eye-grabbing images have come from prosecutors and civil plaintiffs, Diddy's legal team introduced salacious text messages that offer an insight into his fateful relationship with Cassie. The texts showed Cassie saying she 'loved' the freak offs that she testified were forced upon her. Diddy's lawyer Anna Estevao used the messages in court on Thursday in an effort to paint Cassie, 38, as a willing participant in the drug-fueled sex sessions that could last up to four days. 'I love our FOs when we both want it,' she wrote in one missive, adding: 'I want to Freak Off right now LOL. I want to have fun with you.' Diddy replied: 'Let me know if you want to have a late night. Jules is available. If you're not into that NP. We can just do a thing. Love you.' Cassie simply replies with a 'love you' back. INSIDE DIDDY'S TRASHED MIAMI MANSION Photos exclusively revealed by following a raid on Diddy's mansion in Miami in March 2024 showed the property was turned upside down by feds. The raid took center stage at Diddy's trial this week as agents testified that they found 'parts of AR-15 rifles' in the mansion. They said they also found 'sex toys and Astroglide', and an agent said the serial numbers had been scratched off weapons to make them untraceable.

In a lawsuit filed in October 2024, a month after his arrest, images from the filing offered a behind-the-scenes look at the events. Combs is seen dancing with young women in a Las Vegas hotel room party, and in another picture he sat at a table surrounded by bottles of Diddy's own vodka brand Ciroc. He appeared to catch the person photographing him in the act, and in the next image Diddy was seen glaring at them across the table. The images were filed by a woman who alleged that she was drugged with the date-rape drug GHB, with another picture showing a small plastic container she alleged was used.

New Diddy photos show how rapper prepared for hotel 'Freak Off' despite knowing feds were on their way
Images shown in Sean ' Diddy ' Combs' trial reveal the disgraced rap mogul was preparing for a hotel 'Freak Off' despite knowing he was about to be arrested, prosecutors say. The shocking pictures were shown to jurors as Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie testified at his federal trial on Monday - after she previously alleged how she was coerced into a life of manipulatio n and abuse. They were taken by law enforcement when Diddy was arrested at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan in September 2024. The rapper had already agreed with his attorneys to surrender to authorities, but in his hotel room Diddy was assembling bottles of baby oil and mood lighting when teams were descending on the hotel to take him into custody. Other images show a mysterious pink powder in small bags, pills in pill bottles, a blue light heater and stacks of cash. Prosecutors claimed some drugs found in the room were found to be ketamine and MDMA. Cassie testified from the stand that Diddy was meticulous about how he would want a Freak Off room to be set up. This included wanting strongly scented candles to be lit at all times, which Cassie said were 'super pungent and were mixed with oil and all of the other scents.' She also claimed that Combs wanted her to heat up the baby oil before they would use it in the Freak Offs. Diddy has pleaded not guilty in his ongoing sex trafficking and racketeering trial, with his attorneys claiming the pictures were from consensual parties as he denies any wrongdoing. It comes after prosecutors claimed last week that Diddy was caught preparing for one last hurrah of a Freak Off before he was arrested. One of the special agents who raided Diddy's hotel room, Yasin Binda, testified on Friday that federal authorities found a cache of suggestive and damning evidence in the room. Binda - who works for Homeland Security Investigations' human trafficking division - said baby oil was found alongside bags of Astroglide lubricant inside a closet. 'This is one zip lock bag filled with Johnson's baby oil and you see another zip lock bag filled with Astroglide that was in the hallway closet,' she said of what she found in Diddy's room at the Park Hyatt hotel on the night of the arrest. She also told the court that police found 'mood lighting' as well as drugs including ketamine and MDMA in his room. There were also pouches of pink powder in a bottle of medication in the drawer which may have been pink cocaine, and a prescription for Klonopin found, written for the name 'Frank Black' which could be a pseudonym for Combs. Baby oil: Diddy had been in New York for 11 days before his arrest and prosecutors said he was 'waiting potentially for his arrest' 'This is one zip lock bag filled with Johnson's baby oil and you see another zip lock bag filled with Astroglide that was in the hallway closet,' she said of what she found in Diddy's room at the Park Hyatt hotel on September 16, 2024. Diddy had been in New York for 11 days before his arrest and prosecutors said he was 'waiting potentially for his arrest.' The mogul looked stressed as agent Binda spoke and put his hand on the back of his head. The bombshell images were shown in court shortly after Cassie was seen in separate pictures with a large bruise on her upper lip during her relationship with Combs. Cassie said she sustained the injury in a horror episode inside a Los Angeles hotel where Combs was caught on surveillance footage kicking and stomping on her. 'That's me, a selfie of me with a fat lip,' the singer said in court when questioned over the picture. She said she took the selfie inside an Uber shortly after, and claimed she texted Diddy saying: 'I have a premiere for the biggest thing I've ever done in my life on Monday. You are sick for thinking it's OK to do what you've done. Please stay away from me.' The rapper reportedly then claimed he was getting arrested. Cassie said her then-best friend, model Kerry Morgan, became upset when she saw her face and called the cops. But Cassie said she chose to not report who had assaulted her when police showed up because she wanted to protect Diddy, adding: 'In in that moment I didn't want to hurt him that way. Just too much going on. A lot for me in that moment. I wasn't ready.' Cassie also testified about the start of her relationship with Diddy, saying it was initially a platonic mentorship before it became romantic during a trip to Miami when she celebrated her 21st birthday. In another picture shown in court, Cassie was seen with a large cut over her left eye, which she claimed she sustained in Canada when Diddy threw her into a bed frame. Cassie said she suffered a 'pretty significant gash' above her left eye. Diddy's security personnel brought her to a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills to get the wound stitched up. Afterward, she texted Diddy a photo of her injured face and wrote: 'So you can remember.' Diddy replied: 'You don't know when to stop. You pushed it too far. And continued to push. Sad.'
