[!CDATA[Star witness Cassie Ventura, known as Cassie, emotionally testified in court during Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking trial. Ventura, a former R artist who dated Combs and was signed to his record label, Bad Boy, shared details of alleged physical abuse, psychological control, and sexual degradation she experienced while in a relationship with Combs. Combs faces charges of sex trafficking, transportation for prostitution, and racketeering conspiracy, which he denies. Ventura recounted drug-fueled sex sessions with male prostitutes that left her feeling disgusted and described the intense nature of these encounters, which she referred to as "freak-offs." She testified about Combs' control over these sessions, including specific instructions like reapplying baby oil every five minutes. Ventura also spoke about the physical, psychological, and emotional abuse she endured during her relationship with Combs. The witness shared a disturbing incident captured on surveillance footage in a Los Angeles hotel where Combs threw her to the ground during a freak-off. Ventura described the abuse she suffered, including being kicked, punched, and left with a black eye. She expressed her realization that she needed to leave the relationship after this violent incident. Ventura revealed that she was introduced to freak-offs by Combs when she was just 22 years old and felt confused and nervous but wanted to make him happy. Despite not enjoying these encounters, she participated to please Combs. She also discussed the impact of Combs' control over her music career, where many of her recorded songs were not released, and she felt like she was performing for his sexual satisfaction. As Ventura continues her testimony, the trial sheds light on the alleged abuse and manipulation she endured during her relationship with Combs. The emotional revelations from the witness provide insight into the dynamics of their relationship and the control exerted by Combs over various aspects of Ventura's life.]]
