Cassie Ventura cross-examination to continue
What are “freak offs”?
On Wednesday, Ventura gave explicit details about so-called “freak offs.” She said Combs would direct her and a male escort to perform sex acts.
At one point, a text she sent Combs was displayed. It said, “Nothing good comes out of FO’s anymore. You treat me like you’re Ike Turner.”
Ventura said Combs would hit her and that she developed infections and sores in her mouth.
In addition to ecstasy and cocaine, she said Combs would supply ketamine and GHB.
What happened in court yesterday?
Combs’ defense team started questioning Ventura on Thursday about her off-and-on relationship with Combs that lasted nearly 11 years.
Attorneys showed the jury many messages between the two, including some that were sexually explicit. Others were about Ventura helping Combs coordinate a “freak off.”
They also asked Ventura about her drug use and pointed out how she often took drugs without Combs.
It was Ventura’s third day on the witness stand, but first for cross examination.
Can I watch the Diddy trial?
There is no livestream available for the Sean “Diddy” Combs trial because cameras are not allowed in federal court.
Sketch artists, however, are allowed.

The jury has heard from three witnesses so far:
- Israel Florez, a security guard at the hotel where Combs was caught on video beating Ventura.
- Daniel Phillip, who told jurors he was paid to have sex with Ventura and did while Combs watched.
- Ventura, who has levied allegations of rape and blackmail against Combs, testified about “freak offs,” and detailed more of her relationship with him.
