    Cliff Notes – Cassie breaks down in tears during Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial as she tells of ‘personal shame’ and alleged rape

    • Cassie Ventura testified about her “personal shame” and alleged rape by Sean Combs, describing violent incidents and blackmail during their relationship.
    • Combs has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking and racketeering; prosecutors allege he coerced Ventura and others into abusive sexual situations.
    • Ventura’s testimony included traumatic experiences, claiming she participated in numerous “freak off” sessions due to manipulation and fear, while suffering from mental health issues since the relationship ended.

    Cassie breaks down in tears during Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial as she tells of ‘personal shame’ and alleged rape

    Cassie Ventura broke down in tears in court as she described her “personal shame” at taking part in “freak off” sex sessions for Sean Combs – and also accused him of raping her as their relationship came to an end.

    During her second day of testimony, the singer and model told jurors of several alleged violent incidents and said the hip-hop mogul, who was known as Puff Daddy and Diddy throughout his career, blackmailed her with compromising videos.

    The 55-year-old, once one of the most powerful men in the music industry, has pleaded not guilty to charges of sex-trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

    Prosecutors allege he used his fame and fortune to coerce Ms Ventura and other women into abusive sex sessions with escorts. His lawyers have conceded he could be violent, but argue that all sexual encounters were consensual and he never veered into sex trafficking and racketeering.

    Ms Ventura, who is heavily pregnant with her third child, kept calm and composed for most of her evidence on Wednesday, but broke down at the end of the day when asked why she had chosen to testify.

    “I can’t carry this anymore,” she told the court. “I can’t carry the shame, the guilt, the way he treated people like they were disposable. What’s right is right, what’s wrong is wrong. I came here to do the right thing.”

    Early in 2023, she said she started suffering from “flashbacks” and had suicidal thoughts, so went to rehab and trauma therapy.

    It is “impossible to know” how many “freak offs” she participated in, but it was in the hundreds, she told the court. Asked if she has been involved in any since ending the relationship in 2018, she replied: “No.”

    Ms Ventura, 38, alleged that Combs raped her at her home in Los Angeles, after she told him she was ending things.

    “I just remember crying and saying no, but it was very fast,” she said, her voice trailing off.

    She told jurors she did have consensual sex with the rapper on a subsequent occasion. “We’d been together for over 10 years. You just don’t turn feelings off,” she said.

    Ms Ventura sued Combs in November 2023, and settled within 24 hours. She received £20m, the trial was told.

    Combs ‘threatened Cassie and Kid Cudi’

    Ms Ventura’s second day of testimony also included details of how she briefly dated Scott Mescudi, better known as singer and rapper Kid Cudi, during a low point in her relationship with Combs in 2011.

    Combs lunged at her with a corkscrew and kicked her in the back when he found out, jurors heard, and threatened to blow up Mescudi’s car.

    These allegations were also detailed in her lawsuit, which alleged his car did “explode in his driveway” around this time.

    During several hours on the stand, Ms Ventura told how she hid the extent of Comb’s alleged violence from loved ones, and described one incident when she allegedly suffered a “pretty significant gash” above her left eye after he threw her into a bed frame.

    Rather than go to hospital, his security staff took her to a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, she said.
