Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, whose 2023 lawsuit against ex-partner Sean “Diddy” Combs sparked a wave of accusations against the mogul, is on the witness stand again for her second day of testimony in his sex trafficking trial.

On Wednesday, New York prosecutors began by questioning Ventura about her interactions with Combs in the aftermath of the 2016 hotel hallway assault that she said left her with a black eye and swollen lip.

Security video shows Combs chasing Ventura down a hallway, grabbing her by the neck and pushing her to the ground before kicking her repeatedly. After she left the hotel, Ventura said Combs repeatedly texted her to call him, telling her “the cops are here” and “I got six kids.” “You’re going to abandon me all alone?” he allegedly said, according to The New York Times.

She said she was questioned by police at her apartment after a friend there called police. She answered a couple of their questions, but did not want to identify who assaulted her in order to protect him. Ventura said Combs later tried to get into her apartment when the police left, creating “chaos outside the door.”

Ventura said at the time she was focused on a movie premiere she had upcoming, two days after the assault, and texted Combs to “stay far away from me.” The couple went on to attend the premiere for “The Perfect Match” together.

The jury was shown a photo of her at Combs’ house wearing her gown and sunglasses, which she said were to cover her black eye. They were also shown a photo of her and Combs together at the premiere. She pointed to a bruise on her right shin.

“I had bruises on my body that weren’t completely covered by the makeup. I had quite a bit of makeup on my face,” she said, according to CNN.

Combs is on trial for charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He faces a lifetime prison sentence if found guilty.

The questioning at the trial then turned back to the sexual, so-called “freak-offs” that she said she was directed to participate in and help organize for Combs, by reaching out to male escorts and hiring them with his money. Videos of the orgies, which she said she asked him to delete, were later used against her as blackmail, with Combs threatening to release them when he was angry with her, she said.

“One time I dated someone else and that’s what it was all about — ‘I’m going to put out two embarrassing videos of you,’” she said he told her, according to the Times.

Ventura said she did not want to perform in the freak-offs and that she would get high on drugs to numb herself, to the point where she was on-and-off addicted to opioids. The sex sessions also resulted in her experiencing painful urinary tract infections and sores on her tongue, she said.

Day 1 of Ventura’s testimony on Tuesday recalled the nature of her former relationship with Combs, also her former record label head, plus explicit details about his alleged “freak-offs” that she participated in out of fear. She testified about the dayslong, drug-fueled sex sessions with Combs and male escorts that left her feeling “disgusting” and “humiliated.” On the stand, she also spoke about suffering domestic abuse at the hands of Combs, notably the 2016 incident where surveillance footage captured the disgraced mogul physically assaulting her at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles.

According to The New York Times, Ventura, who appeared in court eight and a half months pregnant, choked back tears as she described several traumatic instances during her time dating Combs.

“There were violent arguments that would usually result in some sort of physical abuse,” she claimed on the witness stand.

Ventura talked about being initially “enamored” by Combs when she met him at age 19, only knowing him to be “this exciting, entertaining, fun guy” before he allegedly revealed a darker side of himself, particularly his extreme moods.

“Make the wrong face, and the next thing I knew, I was getting hit in the face,” Ventura claimed.

She also testified about some of Combs’ associates, like personnel who were allegedly around 24 hours a day: “Security protected him, kept an eye on me.” Sometimes, she said, guards or personal assistants would come to find her when Combs didn’t know her whereabouts.

Prosecutors then homed in on Combs’ alleged freak-offs, asking Ventura to describe them in graphic detail, including how long they’d last, where and how often they’d take place, how sex workers were hired for them and what sexual materials were used — condoms, baby oil and Astroglide (a lubricant) were allegedly kept stocked.

Ventura said, “Eventually it became a job for me, pretty much.”

Ventura’s testimony will likely last through the remainder of the week.
