Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura, the singer and former girlfriend of Sean “Diddy” Combs, has provided chilling testimony in the ongoing sex trafficking trial of the music mogul. During her testimony on May 13, Ventura detailed the abuse and coercion she allegedly endured throughout their relationship, which lasted from 2006 to 2018.
The 28-year-old, now married to personal trainer Alex Fine and expecting their first child, described how Combs forced her to engage in disturbing sex acts during their time together. One of the most harrowing aspects of her testimony included allegations that Combs coerced her into participating in what he referred to as “Freak Offs,” acts that were filmed and involved male escorts.
Freak Offs and Forced Acts
Ventura testified that she was expected to participate in these encounters, even when she was menstruating. “I was expected to have Freak Offs on my period. Sean would expect it. I don’t think anyone wants to do that,” she told the jury. She explained that the coercion was so intense that she complied out of fear and a desire to please Combs.
The disturbing nature of the “Freak Offs” was further compounded by allegations that Combs or the hired male escorts would urinate on her. Ventura expressed the trauma she experienced, explaining that the act was done without her consent and that Combs enjoyed it as a form of control. “There was no conversation. It was a turn-on for him, so it happened,” Ventura recalled.
Physical and Emotional Abuse
Throughout her testimony, Ventura described the emotional and physical abuse she allegedly suffered at Combs’ hands. She recounted instances when she was physically assaulted, including one incident in 2016 where surveillance footage captured Combs beating and kicking her in a hotel lobby.
Despite the years of abuse, Ventura explained that she felt powerless to resist, as Combs held significant power over her life and career. “There is not a whole lot of control you have with two men standing over you,” Ventura said, referring to moments where she was forced to endure acts against her will.
Combs’ Criminal Enterprise
Combs is facing federal charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Prosecutors allege that he orchestrated a criminal operation to lure women, drug them, and coerce them into sex. Ventura’s testimony plays a key role in the case, as she is expected to be a star witness against Combs.
Defense attorneys for Combs have argued that Ventura’s actions were consensual and pointed out that she remained in the relationship for over a decade. Combs himself has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
The Impact of Ventura’s Testimony
Ventura’s testimony sheds light on the abusive dynamics that allegedly occurred behind closed doors and has resonated with many who have followed the trial. The trial, which began in May 2025, is expected to reveal more disturbing details of the allegations as it continues.
For now, Combs remains incarcerated at the Metropolitan Detention Complex in Brooklyn as he awaits his day in court. If convicted, Combs could face up to life in prison.
This trial has sparked widespread attention and raised serious questions about abuse and exploitation within the entertainment industry. As the legal proceedings continue, Ventura’s courageous testimony may serve as a pivotal moment in the fight against sexual abuse and trafficking.
