Diddy's 'freak offs' became like a job, Cassie tells trial
Sean "Diddy" Combs's former girlfriend Cassie has told his sex-trafficking trial that "freak offs" with male escorts became like a job, as the music mogul allegedly abused and sexually exploited her for years.
The musician and model, whose full name is Casandra Ventura, did not look at Combs as she took to the witness stand in court in Manhattan, New York. Over about six hours, the 38-year-old, who is eight months pregnant with her third child with husband Alex Fine, at times became emotional as she alleged she was degraded by her former partner during their 10-year on-off relationship.
Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial: Day 2 - As it happened Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty and strenuously denied allegations of sexual abuse. His lawyers argue that although he could be violent, he never veered into sex trafficking and racketeering, and that all sexual encounters were consensual.
Ms Ventura, who is the central witness in the prosecutors' case, began by telling the jury how Combs was violent to her over the course of their relationship, giving her black eyes and bruises. The hip-hop star became increasingly controlling, she said, and was allegedly abusive over the smallest perceived slights.
"You make the wrong face, and the next thing I knew I was getting hit in the face," she said. Ms Ventura was 19 when she signed to his label, Bad Boy, she said, and 22 when, during the first year of their relationship, Combs first proposed a "freak off" - a sexual encounter with a third party.
Her "stomach churned.
