When Cassie Ventura approached the 12th hour at the witness kiosk, he told the judges that the endless threats and sexual demands from his ex-girlfriend, Sean “Diddy” and the sex pattern of forced sex with strangers to his strangers into addiction, described it to a series of violence regularly and took him to pondering great-grandfather.
Star witnesses in the case of sex trading and federal competition combs, Ventura spent his second day at the witness’s place in the Manhattan courtroom on Wednesday offered a direct account about how his life was changed by Mogul Rap, when he switched from displaying his music to spending his days planning a sex party for the Combs and then handed it to them. If he did not, he testified, the comb will be suspected of hurting him or fulfilling the threat to release the destructive video that he is worried about to destroy his reputation.
Combs claimed to be innocent and insisted he did not sexually harass or not traded. He once again sat on a stone-faced only a few feet from Ventura-who was eight months pregnant-because he did not do the details and told for the judges of life, he said, made him not want to live anymore.

The jury sees the freak-off picture allegedly used by Combs as ‘extortion’
Ventura told the judges that the strange session he took part in he participated in the photo shoot of personal pornography for the comb, who would use the material as “extortion” if he did not obey him.
With a comb limiting his professional work as a singer, paying his living expenses and controlling his personal life – to daily movements – Ventura testifies that he is afraid of video release will endanger the prospects of his career and embarrass him.
“I am only afraid of my career. I am afraid of my family. It is just embarrassing and disgusting. No one has to do that to anyone,” Ventura said, explaining that Combs told him that the video “can damage everything” who works and makes it look “like a prostitute.”
For the first time, the judges saw some examples of material that were allegedly used by the watering as extortion when the prosecutor entered the evidence of seven images isolated from strange videos. Initially, the prosecutor planned to play videos to the judges but they then refused to introduce any video from strange people to be proof.
Prosecutors do not openly identify reasons for changes in plans.
Ventura accused examples of repeated violence
Ventura testified that the comb became more cruel towards him, besides forceing him to participate in freak-off.
He specifically told me when the Combs was first suspected of “tapping [her] Around. “He said they were in New York City when he” hit me on the side of the head and I fell to the floor. “He testified that they were in the car, and the alleged attack occurred in front of the driver and staff.
The alleged incident he remembered for the jury occurred in August 2013 when Combs entered his apartment angry and threw him on his bed because he was asleep and did not pack for the music festival.
“I have a significant wound on the side of my eyebrows,” Ventura testified, adding that he had permanent scars from the incident. He said he sent an SMS to a photo injury with the message, “So you can remember.”
At one point during his long testimony, prosecutor Emily Johnson asked Ventura how many times the Combs became cruel with him during their almost 11 years of relationship. Ventura sighed and said gently, “Who knows.”

The jury gets a complete picture of the attack in front of the 2016 camera
After seeing the video Combs physically attacked Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel on March 5, 2016, during the first day of testimony, the judges heard accounts directly from Ventura on Wednesday.
Ventura testified that the Combs pulled him to the floor, kicked him and dragged him into the hotel hallway. He said that after he rose again, Combs threw a vase at him, almost missed him. The jury has seen a video of the attack and its consequences.
The jury had heard the testimony earlier this week from Israel Florez, a security guard who responded to the incident and tried to ensure Ventura could leave the hotel.
“He did tell him at one point that – he said you would not leave,” Florez testified, adding that Combs tried to bribe him after the incident. He didn’t take the money.
When Ventura narrated the video showing the attack, her husband Alex Fine, sat in court, fixing his gaze right on the comb.
According to Ventura, Combs sent him a series of text messages as soon as he left the hotel begged him to return. He added that he was bruised from the attack and had to cover the injury for upcoming film events.
“Yo, contact me. I have six children. Please contact me,” Combs wrote in a message. “Call me. Call now,” said another.
“I have the main Monday for the biggest thing I have ever done and I have black eyes and fat lips,” Ventura sent back. “You are sick of thinking it’s okay to do what you have done.”
Ventura testifies about the conclusion of his relationship with the Combs
Ventura testified that his relationship with the comb, which began in romance and pulled towards the excitement that surrounded the comb, ended in violence when he raped him on the floor of his living room after he tried to find closure after their relationship ended.
“I just remember crying and saying no but it was very fast,” he said. “I don’t know if he is watching.”
In the years after the end of the relationship, Ventura said he tried to get professional help to overcome trauma and contemplate suicide. He sobbed in the witness holder when he remembered how the trauma drained his desire to live.
“I spin and I don’t want to live anymore at that time,” he testified, broke down when he described how “I can’t take the pain that I experienced anymore.”
He said he tried to process pain by writing down what happened to him, and he offered to the Combs the right to buy what was a book worth $ 30 million, a random price that he thought would “remind him.” No agreement was made.
When Ventura sued Combs during the decade of violence and harassment in 2023, the case was resolved the next day without a confession of guilty from the comb. He revealed in the pulpit on Wednesday, and for the first time in public, that he received a solution of $ 20 million.
“How many strange people do you have during your relationship?” Prosecutor Emily Johnson asked his last question about 12 hours of direct examination.
“It is impossible to know, but hundreds,” Ventura answered.
