Diddy trial live updates: Cassie Ventura testifies about ‘freak offs’ in Sean Combs’ sex trafficking case

Court has resumed, and prosecutors have handed Cassie Ventura a black binder.

What’s inside the binder is unclear, as the evidence they’re discussing is sealed from the public.

However, the prosecutor’s questions and Ventura’s answers indicate the evidence relates to a woman identified as “Mia.” Ventura said she worked for Combs.

A new courtroom sketch shows Cassie Ventura testifying as the 2016 InterContinental Hotel footage played for the court.

The footage showed Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly assaulting Ventura in the Los Angeles hotel. It was released publicly last year.

Cassie Ventura wore a black blazer and long gray dress that hugged her baby bump as she testified in court today.

She spoke quietly but deliberately and flicked her hair nervously off her shoulder. Ventura has repeatedly told the court that she didn’t want to be a part of the “freak offs.”

Ventura also detailed the physical impacts of the “freak offs”, saying she was addicted to opiates to feel “numb,” suffered from UTIs often, and even had sores in her mouth from “friction” caused by drugs and oral sex. She felt tired and dehydrated after these encounters.

Emotionally, she left “freak offs” feeling “gross and empty” — especially if she didn’t see much of Sean “Diddy” Combs after.

She also repeatedly testified about Combs’s violent tendencies. When asked how many times before a June 2013 text he had been violent with her, Cassie said “who knows,” suggesting it was “always a concern” that Combs could turn violent if she disagreed with him.

Day three of Sean “Diddy” Combs’s trial has paused for a lunch break.

Court will resume in one hour at 1:30 p.m.

Cassie Ventura says Sean “Diddy” Combs watched videos of their “freak offs” while on a commercial flight.

She felt “trapped” as he viewed the videos on his laptop.

“He pulled up ‘freak off’ videos on his laptop that I thought were deleted,” Ventura said. “He was showing them with other people around.

“I said, ‘You are embarrassing me,’” she added. “I was scared, I felt trapped, how do you get out of this situation? I felt trapped.”

Cassie Ventura testified about an alleged violent assault in 2013 when Sean “Diddy” Combs entered her apartment and began yelling at her because he felt like she wasn’t being productive enough in preparing for an upcoming music festival trip.

Ventura said Combs moved toward her to attack. In response, her friends “jumped on his back.”

Combs eventually threw Ventura down near the corner of her bed, she testified. Ventura says she sustained a gash on her eyebrow as a result.

Combs then had his security team bring her to a plastic surgeon’s office to sew the gash, she testified.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’s alleged “freak offs” often became violent, Cassie Ventura said in court.

“Sean would put his hands on me, he would push me down,” she testified.

“There were other times, if we were having a bad time or if I was scared of him, uncomfortable, typically I would leave and go out the back of the hotel,” she added.

Cassie Ventura is testifying now that the frequent “freak offs” directed by Sean “Diddy” Combs left her various with illnesses and injuries.

Ventura often got UTIs which eventually became antibiotic-resistant, she testified. As a result, she would take opioids to deal with the pain. She would also get sores on her tongue from performing oral sex.

Ventura said she vomited nearly every time they did a freak off because her stomach did not agree with MDMA, which she always took beforehand. Ventura said she always informed Combs of this.

Sean “Diddy” Combs accused Cassie Ventura of abandoning him in 2016 shortly after he allegedly assaulted her in a Los Angeles hotel.

The alleged assault was caught on tape and broadcast by CNN last year.

“You’re going to abandon me all alone,” Combs told Ventura, according to text messages shown in court. “Call me now.”

“I got six kids. Pls call me,” he added. “I’m getting arrested.”

“Please stay far away from me,” Cassie responded.

Footage of Sean “Diddy” Combs’s alleged “freak offs” with Cassie Ventura won’t be shown to the media, Judge Arun Subramanian ruled.

Reporters in the courtroom won’t see or hear the videos, but they may be able to watch the jury for reactions, according to The Washington Post.

This comes after lawyers for several news agencies wrote to Subramanian, arguing the footage should be released to reporters. Both the prosecution and defense wanted the videos to remain sealed from the public.
