Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura testifies 'Freak Offs' became her job
- Cassie Ventura, Sean Combs' ex-girlfriend, testified in May 2024 during his federal sex trafficking trial in Manhattan, recounting abuse and orchestrated sex parties called 'freak offs'.
- The trial began that week amid accusations Combs controlled and violently abused Cassie over years, pressuring her into degrading encounters and sex parties stemming from his voyeuristic interests.
- Cassie described 'freak offs' lasting from 36 hours to four days, involving drug use and recovery, and said she feared saying no to Combs amid repeated assaults including being hit and dragged.
- In May 2024, CNN published surveillance footage from 2016 depicting Combs assaulting Cassie, an act he acknowledged and apologized for; this footage is now a crucial element in his trial, where he could receive a sentence of 15 years or more if found guilty.
- Cassie's testimony and the video highlight the prosecution’s claims that Combs abused his power to run a racketeering operation forcing women into drugged sex parties, while Combs’ lawyers assert the acts were consensual.
