On May 13, singer Cassie Ventura testified in Sean “Diddy” Combs’s federal trial on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. She described years of alleged control, emotional abuse, and coerced participation in “freak-off” parties—private sexual gatherings Diddy reportedly organized and observed.
Cassie said Combs punished her by taking away personal belongings like her car, phone, and apartment access, leaving her isolated. She also recounted physical abuse and manipulation, saying she often felt trapped and psychologically broken down.
The prosecution argues her testimony supports a pattern of coercion and trafficking tied to Diddy’s businesses. The defense insists events were consensual and challenges her credibility. The trial continues, with wider implications for power, consent, and accountability in the entertainment industry.
