Sean "Diddy" Combs Taken Into Federal Custody In New York

[Sugar Cookie]

Prosecutors in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex-trafficking case want to introduce a slew of evidence of his alleged past sexual assaults — a move Combs said is an unfair bid to put on a “horror show” for jurors at his upcoming trial.

Southern District of New York feds revealed Monday that they plan to include testimony about “sexual abuse of other victims” at Combs’ trial on charges of forcing lovers into drug-fueled, days-long sex marathons dubbed “Freak-Offs,” and running Bad Boy Records as a criminal enterprise, court filings showed.

Jurors should get to hear the new evidence to combat Combs’ claim that the accusers slated to testify against him consented to their encounters, prosecutors argued. His trial is set to begin May 5.

The new proposed testimony “powerfully establishes that the defendant made no mistake when he coerced other victims into unwanted sex,” prosecutors wrote in court papers. “It proves that the defendant intended to take the sexual gratification he wanted, regardless of consent.”

The feds did not disclose any specifics about the prior alleged sexual assaults in the heavily redacted court papers. But a separate legal filing from Combs’ attorneys said that several of the allegations mirror the shocking allegations lodged against the jailed hip-hop impresario in civil lawsuits.

Combs, 55, has been accused in the suits of drugging and raping both men and women over a decades-long period, including an up-and-coming musician in Los Angeles and a 16-year-old New York City babysitter. He has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty in his criminal case.

A business attire-clad Sean “Diddy” Combs admitted he was feeling anxious Monday as his sex-trafficking trial kicked off in Manhattan federal court.

Combs, 55, ditched his drab jail duds for a blue sweater over a white button-down shirt as he sat at the defense table observing the jury selection process.

“I’m sorry your honor, I’m a little nervous today,” the embattled hip-hop icon told Judge Arun Subramanian, asking for a two-minute bathroom break after roughly 90 minutes of juror questioning in the hotly anticipated case.

The Harlem native, his greyish-white hair trimmed neatly into a crew cut, cracked a smile while embracing his lawyers after walking into the courtroom Monday morning.

He then coolly eyeballed and nodded at a panel of 50 prospective jurors as they filed into the room to hear instructions from the judge.

More than a dozen of the possible jurors were then grilled one-by-one, in the first stage of the selection process, about their answers on a questionnaire they filled out last week.

One possible panelist, Juror 20, admitted that she “liked” a video on her Instagram page of a comedian poking fun at the 1,000 bottles of baby oil the feds said they found when raiding Combs’ mansions. She was allowed to stay in the pool of jurors after saying she could judge the case fairly.

Another would-be juror, a chief marketing officer at Simon & Schuster, was excused after revealing that her employer was planning to publish a memoir by the singer “Al B. Sure,” who was once married to Combs’ deceased ex-girlfriend Kim Porter, with whom he shares three kids.

Several celebrities — including Kanye West, actor Mike Myers and “Sinners” star Michael B. Jordan — came up on a long list of names of people who could be mentioned during the expected- two-month trial. No details were given about in what context the names may surface.

Possible panelists will later likely be asked about their views on the hip-hop industry and on “people engaging in sexual relations with multiple sexual partners,” among other topics, before learning if they’ve been selected to judge Combs’ fate.

Twelve jurors and six alternates will ultimately decide whether the famously flashy multimillionaire is guilty of leading his Bad Boy Records company as a depraved “criminal enterprise” for decades.

Jurors at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sensational sex-trafficking trial could hear a slew of celebrity name-drops — including Kanye West, Michael B. Jordan and Mike Myers — when testimony kicks off next week.

During the first day of jury selection Monday in the Manhattan federal sex-crimes case against Combs, 55, a group of potential panelists was read a long list of bold-faced names that might be mentioned, including the controversial rapper West — who goes by “Ye” — and the two famous actors.

Other known names that could surface at trial include rapper Kid Cudi, former “Destiny’s Child” crooner Michelle Williams, singer Dawn Richard, music producer Dallas Austin and rapper Yung Miami , who dated Combs, according to the defense and prosecutors. Some of Combs’ family members also could be mentioned.

The prospective jurors were handed a list of the names and asked if they knew them or anything about the people that could preclude them from being unbiased during the case.

A handful of the potential panelists claimed they didn’t know any of the names of the celebrities.

No context was given on how the names might come up as the trial kicks off, including whether they could be mentioned in testimony or even be called as witnesses.

Jordan — star of the “Creed” hit movie trilogy — briefly dated key prosecution witness Cassie Ventura in 2015.

Austin — who’s written and produced songs for musicians including TLC, Pink, Gwen Stefani and Aretha Franklin — could surface because he once dated late actress Kim Porter, who had several children with Combs.

Richard — a former member of the music group Danity Kane, which was founded by Combs — is one of many women who has sued the defendant alleging sexual assault.

Miami — whose real name is Caresha Brownlee — was in an open relationship with Combs until sometime after the bombshell charges were made against him.

A $30 million lawsuit by one of Combs’ former male employees, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, claimed Miami was one of three women paid a “stipend” in exchange for sex work. She’s denied the allegation.

Ventura is expected to testify about her time dating Combs when he allegedly forced her into so-called “Freak-Off” sex sessions.

She is also likely to tell jurors about an infamous video of Combs allegedly shoving, dragging and kicking her at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Calif., in 2016.

Three other alleged victims are also slated to be witnesses.

Superstar Jennifer Lopez could also potentially be mentioned at trial since she dated Combs from 1999 to 2001. But her name didn’t come up Monday.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie will be one of the first witnesses at his bombshell sex-trafficking federal trial — and could take the stand as soon as Monday, prosecutors said.

The R&B singer, whose full name is Casandra Ventura, will be the feds’ third witness after testimony kicks off in the case in which the embattled hip-hop mogul is charged with orchestrating a decades-long reign of sexual terror, prosecutor Maurene Comey said Friday.

The first two witnesses will include an escort and another person who needs to testify Monday for logistical reasons, the feds said.

The reveal came after Manhattan federal court Judge Arun Subramanian pushed the final stage of the jury selection process until Monday after citing concerns that selected panelists could get “cold feet” about the headline-grabbing case over the weekend.

Sean “Diddy” Combs committed “domestic violence” in his relationship with one of the accusers expected to testify at his sex trafficking trial, the hip-hop mogul’s lead attorney told a federal judge Friday.

In a notable remark during the jury selection process, Combs attorney Marc Agnifilo said the defense team plans to “take the position that there was mutual violence” in the rapper’s relationship with an accuser identified in prosecutors’ indictment as Victim-1.

Agnifilo said his team intends to argue that “there was hitting on both sides, behavior on both sides” that constituted violence. “It is relevant in terms of the coercive aspects, we are admitting domestic violence,” Agnifilo told Judge Arun Subramanian.

The remark adds a new layer to Combs’ defense. He has pleaded not guilty to five criminal counts, including one count of racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion.He has also denied accusations of sexual abuse, with his lawyers arguing that his accusers consented to all sexual activity.

Victim-1 is not identified in the prosecution’s indictment, but her allegations closely mirror those of R&B singer Casandra Ventura, one of Combs’ ex-girlfriends. Ventura, known by the stage name Cassie, accused Combs of rape and repeated physical abuse in a civil lawsuit filed in November 2023.

Sean “Diddy” Combs once made a male escort urinate in then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura’s mouth, prosecutors said during opening statements at his bombshell sex-trafficking trial Monday.

“Cassie will tell you that she felt like she was choking when Combs made an escort urinate in her mouth,” prosecutor Emily Johnson told the jury in Manhattan federal court — previewing testimony from the star prosecution witness.

Johnson described how Ventura, 38, was allegedly forced into the disgusting act as the Bad Boy Records founder began introducing her to his “freak-offs” — or drugged-up, days-long sex marathons with male escorts.

Combs, 55 — who would call himself “the king’’ — looked on and pleasured himself while also recording the sick encounters, the prosecutor said.

He then used the footage against her as collateral, the prosecutor claimed.

The “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper threatened numerous times to release the videos of Ventura partaking in the “freak-offs,” keeping them as “souvenirs of the most humiliating nights of her life,” Johnson alleged.

As she introduced her client to the jury, the gray-haired Combs, dressed in a gray sweater with a white shirt underneath and gray slacks, stood up and looked at the panelists, his hands tightly clasped in front of him.

At one point, he blew a kiss to one of his sons, who was in the second row of the court gallery. At least of his daughters was in court, also, along with a phalanx of other supporters.

“This was a relationship, although toxic at times, like any other relationship,’’ defense lawyer Teny Gerago said of Combs and Ventura.

“You may know of his love of baby oil,” Geragos said of Combs. “Is that a federal crime? No.”

The feds found 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lube that were used during the “freak-offs” at Combs’ homes in Miami and Los Angeles, according to the indictment.

Jurors will also hear from two other women — who will testify anonymously under false names — about alleged abuse by Combs.

“Jane” — who started dating Combs in 2020 — is slated to tell the jury about how she was expected to have sex with escorts without a condom against her wishes, Johnson claimed.

Combs would demand that Jane and Ventura wear “lingerie, tall high heels and white manicured nails,” the prosecutor said.

They spent days in “hotels high on drugs dressed in costumes to perform fantasies,” she said.

Jane will describe a horrific night when Combs “viciously” attacked her, “punched her in the face while she was curled up in a ball on the ground,” and slapped her “so hard she fell over,” Johnson said.

After the depraved attack, Combs forced her to hide her bruises, take ecstasy and then “perform” in a freak-off that same night, the prosecutor claimed.

Another alleged victim, “Mia” — who worked for Combs as his personal assistant for several years — will testify about being forced to perform oral sex on Combs and also being raped by him, Johnson said.

“She is just beginning to grapple with the times he forced himself on her sexually,” the prosecutor said. “She wanted to keep the secret to her grave.”

Combs is accused of roping his employees into a criminal enterprise that operated for over a decade.
During that time, he committed arson, kidnapping, bribery, sex crimes and obstruction — “again and again,” Johnson said.

He is charged with racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. And he faces up to life in prison if convicted on all of the counts.

But in her own openings, Geragos told jurors that Combs’ accusers were all past girlfriends who took part in the “freak-offs” consensually.

“Sean Combs has a bad temper, he sometimes gets angry and jealous,” the lawyer said.

But “he’s not charged with being a jerk. He’s charged with running a racketeering enterprise.

“We take full responsibility that there was domestic violence in this case,” she said. “Domestic vioklence is not sex trafficking. I want to say it again. Domestic violence is not sex trafficking.”

Videos of the sex sessions will actually prove his innocence, Geragos said. Prosecutors said the women were drugged and “directed” in order to make them look like they were enjoying themselves — all for Combs’ sick pleasure.

Diddy made male escort perform this disgusting act on Cassie, prosecutors say as bombshell sex trafficking trial opens

Cassie told jurors that she eventually didn't have enough time to nurture her music career because "the 'freak-offs' became a job."

She said she was constantly recovering from the sex parties she had with Sean "Diddy" Combs.

"That took a big chunk out of my life," Cassie testified. "There was no space to do anything else but to recover and try to feel normal again.”

She said she would stay up for days taking drugs, drinking and having sex with a stranger.

"The longest ever was four days, maybe even more – on and off with the breaks. It was significant.”

Cassie told the jury that Sean "Diddy" Combs would hit her in the face for just looking at him in a way he didn't like.

If Cassie didn't smile "the way he wanted" or if she was simply appearing a way Combs didn't like, "the next thing I knew, I was getting hit in the face," she testified.

"He would let me know I would need to fix my face or watch my mouth," Cassie said, noting the Bad Boy Records founder told her these types of things "quite often."

Cassie says Sean "Diddy" Combs gave her a "blue dolphin" ecstasy pill the first time they were intimate during a trip to Miami.

Cassie said she had been drinking wine and smoking marijuana before she took the party drug and eventually had sex with Combs on a boat.

"Everything happened that weekend," Cassie testified.

She told jurors that after that weekend, she thought she and Combs were together and monogamous, but would learn she was just one of his multiple girlfriends.

Cassie said when she turned 21 in August 2007, Sean "Diddy" Combs — then her music producer — kissed her at her birthday celebration in Las Vegas.

"Did you want to kiss Sean at your 21st birthday?" prosecutor Emily Johnson asked Cassie.

"No," the witness responded.

Cassie said she was "really confused" and wasn't used to an executive being that way with her, so she ran out of the hotel room and told her best friend Kerry Morgan about what happened.

After that party, Diddy — 17 years her senior — invited Cassie to the Trump Hotel in Manhattan, where he introduced her to oral sex by performing it on her.

When she didn't reciprocate the act, Combs "kind of made me feel crazy."

She explained she was new to that kind of sexual relationship and she was romantically involved with someone else at the time.

Cassie said she met Diddy at around 19, when she was modeling in New York City, and soon signed a 10-album record deal with his Bad Boy Records label in 2006.

“I just knew he was a larger-than-life entrepreneur, a musician. I was a fan of his music," she said.

Cassie told jurors videos that Sean "Diddy" Combs recorded of her having sex with male escorts eventually turned into blackmail material that he held over her head.

She said she was scared he would "release them, put them out on the internet."

"He had many resources to do that," Cassie said.

Cassie said even though she didn't want to take part in "freak-offs" anymore, she was scared of then-boyfriend Sean "Diddy" Combs' reaction because he "controlled a lot of my life."

Cassie, who started dating him at 22, said Combs controlled what she wore, what career choices she made -- "everything, everything.

"And I just didn’t feel like I had much say into it at that time, being super-young, naive, a total people-pleaser," Cassie said. "I didn’t know enough if he would be upset to be violent or write me off.”

Cassie described how Diddy’s twisted “freak-off’’ sex sessions began in the first year of their relationship when she was just 22.


“Sean proposed to me this idea, this sexual encounter he called voyeurism, where he would watch me … [have] sexual activity with another person, specifically another man,’’ the singer told the jury at Sean “Diddy’’ Combs’ sex-trafficking trial Tuesday.

“It basically entails the hiring of an escort and setting up this experience so that I could perform for Sean.

“Pretty quickly over time, I knew it wasn’t something I wanted to be doing, especially as regularly as it became. But again I was in love, and I just wanted to make him happy.”

Cassie has been on the stand for mere minutes and she is already testifying about her violent relationship with Sean "Diddy" Combs when he would sometimes "bash" her on the head.

Cassie -- whose full name is Casandra Ventura -- said she was with Combs for over 10 years on-and-off again and during that time they got into "violent arguments. "

"He would bash me on my head, knock me over, drag me, kick me, stomp me on the head if I was down," Ventura said.

"Too frequently," the fights turned physical, Ventura added, saying they left her with "bruises all over my body."

Diddy like Cassie to rub other men's semen on him.

The R&B singer said Combs would at times direct her to have sex with multiple male escorts at the same time.

“Sometimes Sean and the escort would have intercourse with me ... It was just like a lot happening at once," she said.

"At what point would escorts ejaculate?" the prosecutor asked.

“Usually when it was OK for them, per Sean. But usually when they did, usually they did it on me. And then Sean and I would go in the next room and he would want me to put the semen on his body.”

Diddy once had an entire blow-up pool filled with bottles of baby oil for a hotel “freak-off” -- insisting the oil be heated and applied “every 5 minutes’’ so his sex-show participants would be “glistening,’’ Cassie said.

“When we would run out, we would have to call somebody, [Combs’ staff] … or ask the bell desk and give them a tip” to get more, the singer said.

She said the baby oil — stocked in “larger-sized bottles,’’ with about 10 in the pool for her romp with a male escort — was “just as important as everything else.

“We used quite a bit,’’ she said.

“It was always heated’’ -- and applied to all three of their bodies until they were “glistening,’’ she said.

“It was [Diddy's] preference. … If he felt you were too dry, he would let you know.

“You need to be shining.”

Diddy would urinate on Cassie himself -- sometimes at the same time he directed a male prostitute to pee on her during their “freak-offs,’’ she testified Tuesday.

"Sometimes Sean, he himself or the escort, would urinate on me,’’ she said. “Sean urinated at the same time.”

She said that once when an escort peed into her mouth during the “humiliating’’ encounters, “It was overwhelming.

“I choked,’’ the witness said. “Too much urine in my mouth. … Laid on a position on the floor [in a position] that I couldn’t easily get out of.”

Cassie said she put up her hands to get him to stop but nothing happened, as per Diddy's direction.

Cassie testified Sean "Diddy" Combs tasked her with finding male escorts, which she initially sourced through classified companies Craigslist and Backpage.

She said she answered ads on Craigslist for male sex workers whom Combs preferred to be "a black male with a large penis."

Cassie described how Sean "Diddy" Combs' demeanor would suddenly change and his eyes would "go black" when he became violent toward her.

"His look would just change over," Cassie said. "He would just become a different person. I wouldn’t know what would happen.”

“The best way to describe it is, his eyes just go black," she told jurors. "The version that I was in love with is no longer there.”

Anyone ever tell her that whatever he was doing, it WAS NOT loving her?

 

[Sugar Cookie]

The R&B singer Cassie testified Wednesday that her ex-boyfriend Sean "Diddy" Combs kept her in a cycle of abuse and exploitation by threatening to release videos of her encounters with male sex workers that he orchestrated.

Addressing the Manhattan courtroom for a second day in Combs' federal sex trafficking trial, Cassie said that even though she loathed having drugged-up sex with strangers, she couldn't reject Combs' demands because he would make her "look like a slut."

"I feared for my career. I feared for my family. It's just embarrassing. It's horrible and disgusting. No one should do that to anyone," said Cassie, whose legal name is Casandra Ventura. She sued Combs in 2023, accusing him of years of physical and sexual abuse. The suit was settled within hours but dozens of similar legal claims followed from other women, sparking the criminal investigation against him.

Prosecutors showed the jury five still images from the sex videos, recovered from electronic devices that Cassie provided to investigators. Cassie said the images showed her with male sex workers and at various stages of the encounters, which Combs called “freak-offs,” that sometimes lasted days. One juror's eyes widened, and another shook his head from side to side.

Prosecutors have accused Combs of exploiting his status as a powerful music executive to violently force Cassie and other women to take part in sexual encounters. He is charged with five counts, including sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion.

Singer Cassie revealed the previously unknown figure that she settled with Sean “Diddy” Combs for in her bombshell 2023 lawsuit that spurred criminal charges against the fallen movie mogul.

During testimony Wednesday afternoon in Manhattan federal court the R&B singer and star witness against the Bad Boy Records founder told jurors she ultimately settled with him for $20 million.

“Who paid you $20 million,” prosecutor Emily Johnson asked Cassie just before finishing up her direct examination.

“Sean and his companies,” Cassie answered.

Her civil case laid out similar claims to those she has testified two over the past two days in at his criminal sex-trafficking and racketeering trial.

R&B singer Cassie Ventura described the first time Sean “Diddy” Combs savagely beat her nearly 20 years ago as she testified in the hip-hop mogul’s federal sex-trafficking trial in Manhattan on Wednesday.

Ventura, 38, told jurors in the high-profile case that the violent attack erupted inside an Escalade SUV in 2007 after she shrugged her shoulders at Combs, her then-boyfriend, as he flirted with another woman inside a restaurant.

“When we got in the car, he knocked me around,” said Ventura – who would have been about 21-years-old at the time of the vicious beating, which she said unfolded in front of Combs’ security guard and driver.

“He hit me on the side of the head, he knocked me to the floor of the car.”

Ventura testified that she was “shocked” and confused by Combs’ explosive reaction – later recounting another rage-filled outburst while the pair were driving around Los Angeles, California.

She said Combs’ “eyes went black” after she hit him for calling her a “slut or b—h or something.”

“I had never experienced anything like that, when I was really badly beaten,” said Ventura, who described bottling out of the car and down the street as Combs’ security guard caught up to her and brought her inside the musician’s home, where she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror.

nypost.com

She got far less then I assumed she got. Some people thought she got anywhere from 30 million to 100 million dollars.

She does need to acknowledge that she enjoyed the perks that went along with being on Diddy's payroll.

She cannot be that delusional to think she would have a career like Beyonce and even Rihanna who is that talented either.

I think cross may be very hard for Cassie.

Diddy was also abusive to Misa But he met her before he was famous.

In regards to Kim Porter she was a friend of Misa's and was with singer Al B Sure when she started a relationship with Diddy. There were always rumors that he physically abused her and tossed her aside for J Lo. He also allegedly broke her nose.

I doubt he ever abused J Lo but who knows.

I don't think he loved Cassie - he wanted to humiliate her and any and everyone knew he stole from and took advantage of artists so she probably expected more because she was sleeping with him.

How she tossed Ryan Leslie aside for Diddy was the worst move she ever made.

“Occasionally I’d get sores on my tongue from doing drugs," the R&B singer testified on day three of Combs' high-profile federal sex crimes trial in Manhattan federal court. "Also (from) having my mouth on different things from oil and lubricants.”

When Ventura texted Combs to let him know she had painful sores on her tongue and "another UTI," he responded by saying, "I'm sorry," she testified.

Combs became violent with Ventura when he was angry at her but also during their Freak Offs with male escorts, she told jurors.

grab me up, push me down. Hit me in the side of the head. Kick me. You name it.”

Ventura recalled one incident n 2013, when Combs attacked her in front of two friends, prompting them to “jump on his back."

When she cut her eyebrow on the bed during the struggle, Combs asked members of his security team to take her to a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon to check it out.

When she sent him a photo of the injury, he allegedly responded, “You. Don’t know. When to. Stop. You have pushed IT Too far. And continue to push. Sad.”

I knew he was small

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of raping a woman with his “Tootsie Roll”-sized penis in a bombshell new lawsuit.

The woman, identified as Jane Doe, claims she met the Bad Boys Records founder in May 2001 and hung out with him several times at nightclubs, a restaurant and his NYC recording studio, according to court documents obtained by TMZ Wednesday.

She claims nothing inappropriate occurred until that July when Combs took her back to his apartment after a night at the club and then locked her in his bedroom.

The music mogul allegedly pushed her onto the bed, put his hand around her throat and said, “I’m going to suck the life out of you.”

The woman claims Combs, now 55, then released his grip and unbuckled his pants to reveal his “erect bare-skinned penis which appeared to be the length and girth of a large Tootsie Roll.”

Per TMZ, she says in the lawsuit that she was “relieved” by the alleged size of the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper’s manhood, claiming she knew intercourse would not hurt because he lacked “length and girth” and had “an itty-bitty Diddy.”

She claims in the suit that she shouted for Combs to stop and told him that she did not consent but he overpowered her.

She claims that he ejaculated on her body afterward.

[Sugar Cookie]

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ defense tried to suggest Thursday during their cross-examination of his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura that his depraved “freak-offs” were simply part of a “swingers lifestyle.”

Ventura pushed back against the idea amid an hours-long grilling by Combs’ lawyer Anna Estevao, even as she acknowledged having conversations with the mogul about the lifestyle.

The R&B singer testified she occasionally watched Sean “Diddy” Combs have sex with other women and that it had happened between two and four times.

“It happened, but not often,” Ventura said, noting that Combs had brought up her watching him with other women “frequently enough.”

Ventura said Wednesday from the witness stand that the Bad Boy Records founder convinced her it would be “fun” to go to sex clubs.

She also faced pushback from Combs’ defense for her accusation that he controlled her appearance.


“Would you send [Combs] photos of your clothes and your hair and ask him what he thought?” Estevao asked.

“Yeah,” Ventura said, later acknowledging that Combs ran a fashion brand called Sean John and “had a big impact on fashion over many decades.”

Estevao’s questions seemed to be in response to Ventura’s testimony over the last two days claiming the Bad Boy Records producer controlled every aspect of the way she looked, down to the color she painted her nails.

Before a “freak-off,” Combs asked her if she got her nails done, if she was tan and if she had been waxed, she testified.

As a lunch break approached, Combs’ lawyers also quizzed Ventura about the fallen music producer’s alleged addictions.

“What was he addicted to?” Estevao asked.

“Success,” Ventura said.

“What substances?” Estevao continued.


Ventura said it varied but that Combs at one point was addicted to opiates, and that she had witnessed him going through withdrawal from those drugs “more than once.”

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ defense tried to suggest Thursday during their cross-examination of his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura that his depraved “freak-offs” were simply par…

“I’m always ready to ‘freak-off’ lol,” Ventura, 38, wrote in a Blackberry message to Combs on Aug. 5, 2009 — roughly two years into their relationship, when she was in her early 20s and he was in his late 40s.

The raunchy texts formed the backbone of defense attorney Anne Estevao’s cross-examination of Ventura, an R&B singer who spent the two past days recounting in harrowing detail the abuse she allegedly suffered during her decade-long relationship with Combs.

Much of Ventura’s testimony while questioned by prosecutors centered around the baby-oil-filled, humiliating and often violent “freak-off” sex sessions coordinated by Combs.

But Estevao tried to cast Venutura as a willing participant by detailing the sexually graphic texts she shared with Combs.

Ventura seemed to express excitement about taking part in the twisted “freak-offs” in many texts shared with jurors.

After one message was read out, Ventura asked for a break and grabbed her eight-month pregnant belly with both hands.

Later, Ventura appeared to grow annoyed as Estevao read from a long string of years-old messages.

“Do you have any questions for me?” Ventura asked.

One text from 2009 appeared to show Ventura starting to push back against the freak-offs — and her fear that Combs was using her for sex.

“I like that. I want it and I want to give you the same. I just think that I have to trust you beyond it just being sexual. Do you know what I mean?” Ventura wrote.

nypost.com

Sean "Diddy" Combs once texted Cassie Ventura to "have fun, impress me" when she was on her way to a sex shop to get supplies for a "freak-off."

The jury saw messages between the couple sent on May 26, 2017 -- near the end of their relationship -- about her run to a sex shop called the Pleasure Chest.


Ventura testified that when she went to the X-rated store, she "would get different sexual supplies. Lubricants, outfits."

Another message showed the pair appearing to try to avoid getting pregnant after Combs suggested having "one of our nights."


Ventura responded that she was ovulating and Combs responded that they would "be extra careful."

Ventura also said to Combs in one 2017 message "I'm too excited" about one of their upcoming "freak-offs." She also messaged Combs that she forgot the iPad -- which Ventura testified they used to record the sex marathons.

A peeved Judge Arun Subramanian warned defense attorneys they would only get a day-and-a-half total to question Ventura.

"This is not the kind of witness who is fighting you," the judge said.

Combs lawyer Marc Agnifilo said he was surprised to hear there was a hard deadline: "This is a critical witness in a case that involves a life sentence."

Subramanian didn't budge, noting everyone agreed ahead of time that Ventura's testimony would be completed by the end of the week.

He told the defense team they would need to finish up with her by Friday morning, but he said he might give them a little more time after lunch.

Diddy trial live updates: Cassie Ventura faces grilling by the defense

Follow The Post’s live updates from the Diddy trial in Manhattan, as his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura — the feds’ star witness — is grilled by his defense attorneys.

nypost.com

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former chief of staff was “in love” with him, and allegedly wielded her power to manipulate his staff, a source who previously worked for the pair exclusively told The Post.

Kristina Khorram — Combs Enterprises’ chief of staff, whom Diddy once called his “right hand” — was one of several former assistants and bodyguards whom Casandra “Cassie” Ventura, 38, named Tuesday in Manhattan court while testifying regarding alleged sexual abuse against her and others by the hip-hop mogul.

“He had several assistants. He had three at all times plus a house manager. KK [Kristina Khorram] was his number one. KK was in love with Sean,” a source who previously worked as a chef for Combs told The Post.

Khorram, 38, was previously named in a lawsuit against Diddy filed by rapper “Lil Rod” Jones in February 2024, in which he compared her to Ghislaine Maxwell, notorious dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s right-hand woman. That lawsuit is ongoing.

Diddy has faced more than 70 lawsuits in total since November 2023, and his legal reps have denied the claims in all of them.

Just after she took the stand Friday morning, a text message sent by Cassie Ventura to Sean “Diddy” Combs on March 10, 2016, was read aloud in the courtroom, in which she accused Combs of treating her like a “rag doll.”

“When you get f–ked up the wrong way you always want to show me that you have the power and you knock me around. I’m not a rag doll, I’m someone’s child.”

The text was sent just days after the InterContinental altercation in March 2016.

The pair exchanged several texts over days — including one sent by Combs proclaiming how “horny” he was for Ventura.

“I’m so horny for you!!!,” Combs texted Ventura on March 9, 2016, to which Ventura responded: “You are? Why? What made you feel that way?”

Feds found baby oil, lube, ecstasy inside Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ hotel room​

A federal agent testified Friday about how disgraced hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs had baby oil, lubricant, drugs and cash stashed all over the New York City hotel room where he stayed to negotiate his surrender last year.

The agents raided room 2115 at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan on Sept. 16, 2024 after Combs’ arrest that day, finding bags of Astroglide lubricant and baby oil inside the entryway closet of the room, said Department of Homeland Security Special Agent Yasin Binda.

The feds also found more lube in the bathtub and in the nightstand of the room, according to testimony from Binda and photos shown to the jury.

A pill bottle of Klonopin written for “Frank Black,” an apparently fake name, was also found inside a Louis Vuitton bag on the nightstand along with apparent “mood lighting,” Binda testified in Manhattan Federal Court.

Inside the nightstand drawer, were pink-colored drugs, which were ketamine and MDMA, Binda said.

Attorney brings up Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ bipolar diagnosis as possible link to alleged 2018 rape​

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ attorney insinuated Friday that the mogul’s previously undisclosed bipolar disorder could be linked to his alleged 2018 sexual assault of Cassie Ventura.

The diagnosis came up when defense attorney Anna Estevao asked Ventura in Manhattan federal court about what she had told investigators regarding Combs’ mood the night of the alleged rape.

Ventura testified that she said Combs was acting “strangely” earlier that night at dinner — “nice, but strangely” — and that he “wasn’t in his right mind” because when she pleaded with him to stop, he didn’t.

Combs’ attorney then asked Ventura to confirm whether she told prosecutors that “his behavior [that night] could be attributed to his bipolar disorder.”

Ventura muttered, “I guess so.”

Dawn Richard testifies she saw Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs get violent with Cassie Ventura ‘often’​

Singer Dawn Richard saw Sean “Diddy” Combs beat his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura “often” — including once coming at her with a skillet, knocking her to the ground, a Manhattan court heard Friday.

Richard — a former singer in the Combs-founded girl group Danity Kane — told jurors she first witnessed the music mogul attack Ventura in 2009, apparently in a rage over his breakfast.

“He came downstairs angry and was saying ‘where the f–k was his eggs,'” Richard recalled at Combs’ federal sex-trafficking trial.

The singer and the other Danity Kane members were recording in the studio of Combs’ Los Angeles mansion, when they witnessed the incident — in which he was “screaming, belligerent, asking where his food was.”

The Bad Boy Records founder then took a skillet with eggs inside and tried to hit Ventura over the head with the pan, Richard recounted.

Ventura managed to partially deflect the blow from the pan by balling up into the fetal position on the floor — but Combs continued his vicious beating, Richard said.

The next day, Combs allegedly summoned her and the other artists back to his home, where he locked them in the recording studio and threatened them, Richard said.

“He said what we saw was passion and what lovers in passionate relationships do,” Richard recalled. “He said [Ventura] was OK and it would be in our best interests if we didn’t say anything.”

Combs told them he was trying to take them to the top of the industry before menacingly saying, “where he was from, people go missing if they talk,” Richard testified.

Then Combs gave them flowers, Richard said.

She said she understood he was threatening “death.”

She is an opportunist who was able to get a whole new face because of her association with Diddy.

In a statement afterward, Ventura called her grueling four days on the stand “extremely challenging” but also “remarkably empowering and healing for me.”

“I hope that my testimony has given strength and a voice to other survivors, and can help others who have suffered to speak up and also heal from the abuse and fear,” Ventura said.

“I’m glad to put this chapter of my life to rest. As I turn to focus on the conclusion of my pregnancy, I ask for privacy for me and for my growing family.”

Kerry Morgan said after Diddy choked her and beat her up with a hanger, she lawyered up and planned to sue — but she didn't end up bringing a civil claim against Combs because he paid her $30,000.

Ventura met with Morgan at a pizza place in Hollywood and accused her bestie of "over-exaggerating."

Ventura had Morgan sign a non-disclosure agreement, and that was the last time they ever spoke to each other, ending a 17-year friendship, Morgan told the jury.

Sean "Diddy" Combs beat then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura's best friend to find out whom she was cheating on him with, according to testimony.

Kerry Morgan, Ventura's ex-best friend, said that once in 2018, Combs came to Ventura's apartment in Hollywood Hills and attacked her "from behind."

Combs "choked me," Morgan testified. "When I got up, he boomeranged a hanger at my head."

Morgan said Combs left "finger marks on my neck" and hit her behind the ear with the wooden coat hanger.

The Bad Boy Records producer wanted to know "Who Cassie was cheating on him with. I had no idea," Morgan said.

Afterward, Morgan went to an urgent care facility and was told she had a concussion from the assault. She was dizzy and even threw up a few times from the beating, she claimed.

Sean "Diddy" Combs tried to bust down the front door at the home of his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura with a hammer following his infamous caught-on-video hotel beating of her, according to testimony.

Ventura's former best friend Kerry Morgan was at Ventura's home when her friend arrived with a black eye -- before Combs showed up 30 minutes later.

"He was hitting the door with a hammer to try to open it," Morgan recalled.

Morgan said she was "terrified" when she saw Combs, through the peephole, using the tool to try to break in.

But Ventura looked "numb," Morgan said.

"I was freaking out. I don’t think [Ventura] cared if [Combs] came in and killed her," Morgan said.

The scene unfolded after Combs was caught on hotel surveillance film viciously attacking Ventura in the hallway of the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles in March 2016.

The first time, Morgan said, she saw Combs "push" Ventura and she thought she also saw him hit her while they were in the primary bedroom of the Bad Boy Records founder's Los Angeles home and she was standing in the entryway.

Afterward, Morgan left the house with Ventura and the pair hid out on the front steps of a neighbor's house for 30 minutes.

The second alleged assault happened around January 2013, when a group of friends including Combs, Ventura and Morgan were all on a trip in Jamaica.

The fallen music mogul got incensed when Ventura took too long in the bathroom.

"Two minutes later, I heard screaming," Morgan recalled, adding it was "terrifying."

Morgan said she saw Combs drag Ventura 10 feet along the floor before Morgan grabbed her purse in case she had to run.

When she came back, Combs was outside with Ventura.

"I saw him push her on the ground and she hit her head on a brick," Morgan recounted. "She didn't move."

Morgan said Ventura was lying in a "loose fetal position" and her eyes were closed.

"I thought she was knocked out," she testified, noting Ventura appeared to be out for 20 or 30 seconds.

The two women bolted and crouched in a ditch for what felt like hours, as they hid from Combs.

Sharay “The Punisher” Hayes testified that he recently published "In Search of Freezer Meat," a men's self-help book about erectile dysfunction by way of a penis implant that he said features Sean "Diddy" Combs and Cassie Ventura.

Hayes told prosecutors that sexual encounters Combs and Ventura are editorialized in the book in "six-and-a-half" pages where he called them a "married wealthy couple."

He said he "sensationalize[d]" describing Ventura in the book.

It’s real genuine medical advice but it’s framed as me telling personal stories," Hayes told the jury.

"When I was going through the issue, it was hard for me to find a relatable source to help me with the problem, so I decided to write a book." I use personal stories where I try to make light of the issues and comical references that could possibly be relatable"

Hayes said earlier that he had experience sexual performance issues when he was around Combs and Ventura, specifically experiencing anxiety and maintaining an erection.

He testified that he used Cialias, Viagra and even a "corner-store pill" to fight the issue — but ultimately said he had performance issues due to Combs directing him during sex.

"Me, personally, a sexual scenario with a woman's partner present actively giving directions was not the norm for me, so it created some discomfort that could affect my performance," Hayes testified.

"I like this s--t," Combs once told the pair after chucking cash on a bed while the escort and Ventura were having sex, Sharay "The Punisher" Hayes testified.

The exotic dancer was hired between eight and 12 times for the twisted sex sessions. On his last encounter with the celebrity duo, Hayes said, Combs at one point threw condoms on the couch and told him in an "assertive," "aggressive" tone that he was "ready" to see him have sex with Ventura.

Hayes testified he understood he was there "to create a scene" and Combs was sort of like a movie director during the sex marathons while he and Ventura were like actors in the scenarios.

He also said it could be stressful having Combs direct things and that on that last encounter, he wasn't able to perform sexually for that reason.

Exotic dancer Sharay "The Punisher" Hayes says the first time he was hired to enact a sexy scene for Cassie Ventura and Sean "Diddy" Combs, he didn't recognize the music mogul because he was naked but wearing a Muslim face covering.

Hayes, 51, says he was hired in the fall of 2012 by someone who called themselves Janet and was told to come to Trump Tower for what he thought was going to be a striptease for a group of women.

But when he arrived, only Ventura greeted him at the door and explained they were going to be creating a "sexy scene" with baby oil and that he shouldn't look at her husband when he came out to watch.

"She handed me a stack of money," Hayes said, adding it was $800.

Hayes and Ventura started putting baby oil on themselves when a naked man came into the dimly lit room.

"I could not see his face," Hayes said. "He had what the Muslim women wear, where their face is completely covered and you could only see his eyes." Hayes didn't specify further about what the head garb was.

Hayes said the man was carrying a bottle of Astroglide personal lubricant and he masturbated and then left the room.

Ventura also left the room after handing Hayes another $1,200, he testified.

Hayes said he was hired by the pair another eight to 12 times and he eventually discovered the man was Combs when he went to meet them at the Essex House Hotel in Manhattan that had a sign welcoming "Mr. Sean Combs."

A violently jealous Sean “Diddy” Combs’ vowed to “kill” Kid Cudi after he discovered the rapper was dating Cassie Ventura, the mogul’s ex-assistant testified Tuesday.

Former assistant Capricorn Clark recounted to jurors in Combs’ racketeering and sex-trafficking trial that the Bad Boy Records founder came to her apartment gun-in-hand and “livid” over the relationship.

Combs told Clark to “get dressed, we’re going to kill this n—a” — referring to Kid Cudi — whose real name is Scott Mescudi, she testified.

“I had never seen anything like this before,” Clark told jurors. “He had never come to my house the entire time I’d known him. I had never seen him with a weapon.”

The dramatic tale from Clark in Manhattan federal court provided additional details — and some potential contradictions — to Mescudi’s show-stopping testimony last week over his baffling one-sided feud with Combs.

Mescudi told jurors that Combs broke into his house in 2011 and bizarrely opened his holiday presents.

Clark, for her part, provided an inside look into Combs’ alleged jealous rage during the incident — and the potential danger facing Mescudi.

She said Combs had asked why she didn’t tell him that Ventura, his long-time on-and-off girlfriend, had been seeing Mescudi.

The tension amped up as Clark got into a black Escalade with Combs and sat on his lap while he still had the gun, she recounted.

Once they arrived at Mescudi’s house, Combs — “Puff came and got me with a gun and took me to Cudi’s house to kill him,” Clark said she told Ventura by phone while the mogul was inside.

Clark also testified that Mescudi — who had told jurors he drove to his home, furious over Combs’ break-in — soon rolled up in his car next to the Escalade.


She said Mescudi then sped off as Combs jumped into the SUV, prompting a surreal car chase that quickly fizzled as police sirens could be heard.

Mescudi’s testimony did not detail this alleged car chase.

The ordeal didn’t end there for Ventura, Clark testified.

Combs, while wearing underwear and a robe in his Los Angeles mansion, kicked Ventura in the thigh and leg with “100% full force” later that day, she told jurors.

“She didn’t do anything,” Clark said about Ventura. “She was just crying silently.”

But during the mediation sessions she never raised the fact that she was sexually assaulted by Combs, she testified.

Sean "Diddy" Combs once raged at his assistant during a yacht trip in St. Barts because she was taking too long to count over $100,000 in cash.

"You better learn how to walk on water like Jesus bitch. Get the f--k k out of here," ex-assistant Mia recalled Combs yelling at her during a New Year's Eve trip in 2010 and 2011.

Mia testified it was normally the job of Combs' security to count his money.

She said the incident made her want to "run and hide" from Combs, and she eventually hitched a ride to land only to come back to the boat at the Bad Boy Records founder's request.

Diddy 'terrified' ex-assistant, harassed her with 48 calls — and said he'd either fire or kill her when she didn't pick up: testimony​

ean "Diddy" Combs' former assistant, Mia, has begun testifying again this morning and is telling jurors about how the hip-hop mogul threatened to kill her for not picking up his calls.

Mia — who is testifying anonymously for a second day — claimed the Bad Boy Records founder threatened to fire her and even kill her when she was on a trip with Combs' girlfriend Cassie Ventura in South Africa.

Ventura found out that Combs cheated on her with a woman named Gina, and the "I'll Be Missing You" rapper was furiously trying to speak with his girlfriend.

In one call with Mia, Combs, "was threatening my job and then threatening to kill me," she testified.

On other calls, Combs demanded Mia get on a plane and come to see him or he'd fire or kill her, she told the jury.

At another point, while Mia was asleep in the country on a different time zone, she woke up to 48 missed calls and assured Combs and staff that she wasn't ignoring them.

Mia said the threats made her "desperate to make it right, terrified and really, really sad."

Raving mad Diddy threw spaghetti at assistant — and got high at Chelsea Handler’s TV show, sex abuse accuser says in wild testimony​

Sean “Diddy” Combs once threw a bowl of spaghetti at his live-in assistant, she recalled in wild testimony Thursday — that also revealed the music mogul’s “inappropriate” drug-taking habits, including getting high for an interview on Chelsea Handler’s show.

The now-former assistant “Mia” — who testified anonymously as an alleged sexual assault victim of Combs — told jurors in Manhattan federal court that the frightening pasta tossing incident unfolded at 3 a.m. in his Los Angeles home.

The Bad Boy Records founder manically told her to “go get everybody,” but first she started heading to her bedroom in the mansion where she also lived — which made Combs upset.

“He went on a really humiliating rant in front of everybody,” she recalled. “There was blood dripping down my leg and I said, ‘I’m on my period. I just need to change my tampon.’

“He immediately had a bowl of spaghetti in his hand and he threw it at me and started aggressively cursing me out, like I had to get the hell out of his house.”

The bowl of spaghetti missed Mia by only a couple arms lengths, and Combs chased his long-suffering assistant up stairs until she hid in a bush, she testified.

The absurd string of events is just one disturbing anecdote that Mia, who worked for Combs from 2009 to 2017, offered about her former boss during her first day on the witness stand in at his sex trafficking and racketeering trial.

Mia testified Combs separately threw other things at her — including a computer and turkey meat.

After the spaghetti throwing incident, Mia was told by Combs’ human resources director that she was suspended without pay — and not for the first time because she displeased her mercurial boss, she said.

Combs also sometimes got high at “inappropriate” times such as during a board meeting and once during “The Chelsea Handler Show,” Mia recalled.

Ex-assistant sobs while recalling alleged rape by Diddy: ‘It happened so fast​

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former live-in assistant “Mia” sobbed on the stand Thursday as she recalled silently suffering the sick music mogul’s sexual assaults – and a litany of other indignities and abuse from her powerful boss.

The excruciating testimony by Mia – who testified anonymously as a victim of alleged sexual abuse by the Bad Boy Records founder – captivated the Manhattan federal courtroom as she detailed the tortuous eight years she spent working for the volatile Combs.

Mia’s voice cracked as she recalled Combs’ alleged “sporadic” sexual assaults, which unfolded without rhyme or reason — and even within her bedroom inside the hip-hop star’s mansion.

Combs had creepily prohibited Mia from locking her door, she testified, before recounting waking to feel the “weight” of her boss in her bed.

“I remember it was sort of like him telling me shhh,” Mia recounted. “It happened so fast, using one hand to get his, I guess his pants or whatever off.”

She said she “froze and felt, “terrified and confused and ashamed and… scared.”

When prosecutor Madison Smyser asked Mia if she wanted to have sex with Combs, she sobbed and responded, “No.”

Combs at one point during the party called his freshly hired assistant into the kitchen, clearing everyone else out, Mia recalled.

The Sean John clothing creator began telling her what a great job she was doing working for him, before pouring them both two shots of vodka to toast his birthday, she recounted.

Mia testified the shots affected her much more than normal. She said the next thing she knew Combs was kissing her and putting his hands up her dress.

“He put his arm next against my head against the wall and leaned in to kiss me and put his other hand up the side of my dress,” she testified, noting she didn’t want him to kiss or grope her.

The next thing Mia recalled is that she woke up mysteriously sitting in the chair in a meeting room of the penthouse with no recollection of how she ended up there.

At another point, Mia recalled that Combs abruptly forced her to give him oral sex as she sat on the floor of his closet to help him pack for a trip.

Mia said she felt “like trash. Scared and ashamed like an idiot,” after the incident.

“I knew his power and I knew his control over me. I didn’t want to lose everything that I worked so hard for in this world that was the only thing I had anymore,” Mia told jurors.

Prosecutor Maureen Comey accused Sean “Diddy” Combs’ defense attorney Brian Steel of harassing the hip-hop mogul’s former assistant and sex assault accuser Mia.

When the jury was out of the room, Comey claimed Steel has forced Mia to endure “humiliating cross-examination” in which the defense attorney was “sarcastic” and insulted her.

“We are crossing the threshold into prejudice and into harassing the witness,” Comey claimed.

“Our concern is if this victim is not protected from further harassment, it will deter other victims in other cases from testifying and telling the truth,” the prosecutor said.

Judge Arun Subramanian appeared to be unpersuaded by Comey’s arguments, saying he didn’t think the questions were inappropriate.

Diddy's sobbing ex stuns court with gruesome details of porn star 'freak-offs' — and infections after rapper warned 'You better not ask for a f--king condom'

A woman Sean “Diddy” Combs dated until he was arrested on sex-trafficking and other charges in September 2024 returns to the witness stand Friday as this bombshell trial wraps its fourth week.

The “Jane Doe” — who says he brutally beat her and forced her to have unprotected sex with strangers — told the jury Thursday that 90% of their three-year relationship was spent in the drugged-up “freak-offs” Diddy orchestrated, filmed and pleasured himself to, which are at the center of this case.

Diddy is still paying $10K rent of influencer ex: testimony​

Sean "Diddy" Combs is still paying $10,000-monthly rent for the posh house that his influencer ex-girlfriend lives in, she testified as a key prosecution witness against the rapper.

"Jane" -- who is testifying anonymously under the pseudonym -- said she and the Bad Boy Records founder struck up a two-year "love contract" starting in April 2023 in which he paid her $10,000 a month.

Jane told the jury that she uses all of the money to pay rent on her "really big" house.

When Jane wasn't apparently enthusiastic enough in text messages about an upcoming "freak-off" sex session, the "I'll Be Missing You" rapper went off on her.

"Well, get over it please," Combs texted her back. "Look at the roof over your head and that pretty smile."

Jane earlier told jurors that the hip-hop mogul also previously paid for her to get veneer

Jane texted Combs that she wanted to stop having 'freak-offs': 'Get off the hamster wheel'​

Sean "Diddy" Combs' influencer ex-girlfriend revealed in tearful testimony Friday that she texted him that she wanted to "get off the hamster wheel" and stop having marathon sex sessions with male escorts.

“I’d like to get off the hamster wheel and do something different with you, I deserve it," the woman testifying under the alias "Jane" texted the mogul in February 2023.

Jane sent the text soon after what she described as a nightmarish birthday event in which Combs forced her to have six with three male escorts back-to-back while he watched.


The normally soft spoken accuser loudly wailed Friday when explaining the texts to jurors.

"He knew that after three guys I was tired," she testified.

Jane also mused in her phone about wanting to stop letting the rap mogul use her to satisfy his "freaky wild desires in hotel rooms."


"I'm sorry, I don’t want to do drugs for days and days and have you use me to fulfill your freaky wild desires in hotel rooms," she wrote in a Nov. 26, 2023 message on her iPhone notes app.

But Jane testified that she was too scared to send that message as a text to Combs.

“I didn’t have the courage to send it to him” she testified.

Jurors hear audio recording of Diddy screaming at influencer ex : 'You're f--king nuts!'​

Jurors heard an audio recording that Sean "Diddy" Combs sent to his one-time influencer girlfriend of him screaming, "You're f--king nuts!"

The Bad Boy Records founder sent "Jane" a voice note in which he was irate at her for raising concerns about their frequent "freak-offs."

"You're f--king nuts!" he could be heard yelling at Jane. "So be sad, go crazy, do whatever the f--k you wanna do."

His tirade came after Jane sent him a message telling him she needed a "breather and a break from you. This doesn't feel good at all. Your intentions with me are within plain sight."

After, Jane told the jury that Combs regularly called her "f--king crazy."

Diddy's influencer ex describes the physical toll the days-long 'freak-offs' had on her​

Sean "Diddy" Combs' one-time influencer girlfriend told jurors about the physical toll that constantly participating in drugged-up, days-long "freak-offs" took on her.

"Jane" said she had relentless back and shoulder pain from being forced to hold uncomfortable positions for long stretches during the sex marathons.

"I would be at the edge of a seat or at the edge of a bed in the position he liked me doing," she said, adding she would hold those poses for "many hours."

And she said she had infections "every other week" including yeast and urinary tract infections -- for which she sometimes had to take medications.

And it took her between a week and a half and two weeks to recover from the grueling sex sessions, she said.

Jane choked up again as she testified about feeling sore in her genitals "100%" of the time she had sex with male escorts.

Diddy's influencer ex testifies she responded 'on command' to rapper's directions during 'freak-offs'​

Sean "Diddy" Combs' one-time influencer girlfriend told jurors that when the rapper gave her directions during "freak-offs" with male escorts, she responded "on command."

"Jane" testified that the Bad Boy Records founder gave instructions to her and the male prostitutes about how to act during the drugged-up sex marathons.


Even though Jane said she didn't like having sex with other men, she said she pretended to enjoy herself.

"I wanted to put on a good show," she testified.

Diddy's ex weeps loudly, says he forced her to have unprotected sex with escort on her birthday: 'You better not ask for a f--king condom'​

Sean "Diddy" Combs' influencer ex-girlfriend loudly sobbed as she told jurors she had sex with a male escort without using a condom during a "freak-off" on her birthday because she didn't want the rapper "to be unhappy with me."

"Jane" said she went to Miami in 2023 on her birthday to celebrate with the Bad Boy Records founder and he pressured her to have sex with a male prostitute without using protection and she went along with it.

Jane testified in fits and starts as she choked up and wept loudly, recounting the night when Combs gave her a "dirty" look and snapped, "You better not ask for a f--king condom."

"I just didn't want my partner to be unhappy with me," she said, sobbing.

She testified she was able to use a condom for the encounter but Combs "hated it" and "it just made me feel really, really bad and I just wanted it to be over."

Diddy enlisted his personal trainer to take part in 'freak-offs'​

Sean "Diddy" Combs enlisted his personal trainer, Paul, to participate in "freak-offs" with his one-time influencer girlfriend "Jane," according to testimony.

‘Diddy’ chillingly asked ex-girlfriend ‘is this coercion?’ after hours-long assault – and then forced her into ‘freak off,’ she tearfully testifies​

Sean “Diddy” Combs chillingly asked his influencer ex-girlfriend “Is this coercion?” as he forced her to perform in a “freak-off” sex session after brutally beating her, she testified in tears at his bombshell Manhattan trial Monday.

The ex – who is testifying anonymously as “Jane ” in Combs’ federal sex-trafficking trial – tearfully recounted an alleged vicious, hours-long abusive onslaught inflicted by the Bad Boy Records founder.

Combs choked, kicked and punched Jane during the June 18, 2024 nightmare and then expected her to have sex with a male escort, she told jurors.

“Take this f–king pill, you’re not gonna ruin my f–king night,” he allegedly told her before the forced sex-session, pressuring her to take an ecstasy pill and then instructing her to have sex with the prostitute — despite her objections.

“Is this coercion?” Combs said, standing really close to Jane’s face, she recalled on the stand as she cried.

The harrowing testimony came as prosecutors wrapped up their three days of questioning Jane, who dated Combs for three years until his arrest by the feds in September 2024.

Jane told jurors that a planned romantic night at her home June 18, 2024, descended into a dark and violent nightmare.

She admitted she called Combs names, pushed his head onto a marble countertop and threw candles and glass at him before he launched a brutal, hours-long counterattack.

After losing it on Combs, Jane testified she started to lock herself in various rooms, only to have the engaged hip-hop star kick in the doors each time she hid.

When Jane ran for the front door, she testified that, “Sean kicked me from the back of my thigh and I fell down on my butt and then he picked me up in a chokehold and choked me.”

After squirming free, Jane ran barefoot from the house for six blocks and hid for two hours, she said.

Combs allegedly resumed the beating when Jane returned, punching and kicking her while she was on the ground.

He then dragged her by her hair into the house and later smacked her as she stood naked in the shower, causing her to fall to the floor, she testified.

After, the mogul demanded Jane put on lingerie and high heels for a “freak-off,” brazenly telling her to cover up her injuries — a black eye and two “golf ball-sized” welts on her forehead, she testified.

"He was my baby": Jane says she resents introduction to "this lifestyle," but still loves Combs​

“Jane” testified under cross-examination that she resents “the way that (Sean “Diddy” Combs) went about introducing me to this lifestyle that was built under a lot of emotional manipulation and pressure.”
But she also said she still loves him.

Defense attorney Teny Geragos took Jane through the routine after a “hotel night” that Jane previously described on direct examination. A “hotel night,” Jane has previously described, were sexual encounters that generally included a male “entertainer.”

Jane said she’s very naturally nurturing and loved to take care of Combs after a “hotel night.”

“Yes, he was my baby,” Jane said. She said she’d give him foot massages, feed him and bathe him. She’d put on his favorite show, “Dateline,” and they’d watch it until he fell asleep.

Jane testified that she endured the “hotel nights” to have that time together afterwards.

​

Jane was OK with "hotel night" video recordings, she says in cross-examination​

Jane confirmed that she was OK with the “hotel nights” being filmed, and that Sean “Diddy” Combs told her the videos were just for the two of them.

“You put on a good show for him in these videos because you knew he would watch them back?” defense attorney Teny Geragos asked.

“Yes,” Jane responded.

Geragos suggested that Jane liked watching the videos back with Combs, but Jane said she just accepted that.

“I did not like that part, but it was just a part of the relationship,” Jane said.

Jane says Combs was more affectionate than usual during "hotel nights"​

Defense attorney Teny Geragos suggested that Jane told prosecutors that she enjoyed “just about every minute” with Combs during “hotel nights.”

“During ‘hotel nights,’ the portion of me and him, yes, I loved that part,” Jane responded.

She testified that they would have some alone time for about 30 minutes to an hour before the “entertainer” came and after they left, and that she enjoyed when the two of them would make love.

Jane confirmed that Combs gave her the attention and affection she wanted during “hotel nights.”

“He’s the most affectionate during these nights,” she testified, adding that he wasn’t generally that affectionate.

Jane confirmed that red lights and baby oil were not exclusively used for “hotel nights.” Combs used them in his private residence for their other sexual encounters as well, she said.

​

Combs wasn't taking care of himself, Jane says as defense suggests she knew of addiction early​

On their first trip to Turks and Caicos, Jane suggested Sean “Diddy” Combs go to a rehabilitation center in Thailand when she realized how the drugs he was taking affected him, she testified.

On the flight to Turks and Caicos, she noticed his shaky hands, eyes, teeth and coloring seemed off, she said.

“I could tell he wasn’t taking very good care of himself,” Jane said.

Defense attorney Teny Geragos suggested that Jane knew he was a drug addict from early on.

“In the beginning I didn’t really know how to label it,” she said. “I encountered somebody that was overdoing the partying.”

Jane added, “As our relationship continued I noticed a very strong pattern, and I still didn’t really even label it as a drug addict. I think now I would say that, but then I just would say that he was a really big party guy.”

Toward the end of their relationship, Jane learned Combs was taking antidepressants, she said. She confirmed she wanted to get him off of drugs and back to his “natural form.” She testified that Combs had once told her he was interested in getting ketamine therapy.

Jury hears loving audio messages between Combs and Jane sent after Turks and Caicos trip​

Defense attorney Teny Geragos showed the jury text messages and audio messages between Jane and Sean “Diddy” Combs from March 2023 right after the Turks and Caicos trip. She previously testified that during that trip, Combs sprung an “entertainer” and a “hotel night” on her, prompting an argument that threw things off between them for days.

The two traded loving text messages and voice messages about how much fun they had. In Combs’ voice note, he said he loved her.

Combs also mentioned Jane’s “contract” on the audio recording, which Jane testified was a reference to the “love contract” they just brokered, which led to Combs renting a $10,000 per month home for her.

The jury heard an upbeat recorded response Jane sent Combs telling him that she had so much fun on the trip, and loved him and felt closer to him.

She said on the recording, “Everything just feels good, and I’m so happy.”

Jane testified that she did have fun with Combs and was expressing that she loved the time with him, excluding the time they spent with “entertainers.”

Defense further explains mistrial motion, accusing witness of perjury​

Defense attorney Alexander Shapiro has put further argument on the record about the defense mistrial motion, which Judge Arun Subramanian denied this morning. You’ll recall the motion was based on last week’s testimony of Bryana Bongolan, which defense attorneys said was “demonstrably” false.
Shapiro accused Bongolan, a friend of Cassie Ventura’s, of perjury and said the government knew or should’ve known that the alleged balcony altercation with Combs couldn’t have occurred when Bongolan claims because Sean “Diddy” Combs and Ventura were not in Los Angeles at the time. Bongolan had testified that Combs held her over a 17-story balcony and threw her onto the balcony furniture at Ventura’s apartment in Los Angeles in September 2016.

Assistant US Attorney Madison Smyser said Bongolan could’ve misremembered when she took the photos of her purported injuries and that Bongolan testified that she didn’t remember all the details of the incident.

Subramanian ruled that the defense was not prejudiced by the testimony in part because the defense was able to conduct a vigorous cross examination of Bongolan about the timing of the incident. The judge likened Nicole Westmoreland’s cross-examination of Bongolan to a “Perry Mason moment” that he thought the defense would be celebrating.

“How much does my body cost?” Jane asks in tense exchange with attorney​

The jury heard voice messages that Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jane exchanged on November 22, 2021, when they were discussing seeing each other.


Combs said she could set something up, and said “the last vision we had” involved two of the “entertainers” they frequently used, Don and Sly.


Jane sent back a voice message saying she thought he wanted to save that situation as a “grand finale” once he finished his album. She testified that she was “trying to make excuses to get out of this thing that he’s encouraging for me to set up.”


Jane testified that after these audio messages, she saw on social media that Combs was spending time with another woman. That led into a text conversation prosecutors brought up on direct testimony previously.


“I thought on a quick one to two-day trip you just wanted to see me, but wanted a Don and Sly moment within that time, hotel vibes,” Jane sent in one of the later messages.


The jury saw text messages that had been shown on direct examination — messages in which Jane expresses frustration that Combs is pressuring her for a “hotel night” but is with another woman who’s posting their quality time on her social media. In one text, Jane references that Combs bought the other woman a Chanel bag.

In what became a tense exchange with defense attorney Teny Geragos, Jane said she didn’t garner much from the relationship. It bothered her that other women got nice gifts and excursions from Combs, who she said didn’t give her that same treatment even when she gave in to sex with strangers.

Geragos reminded Jane at this point that Combs gifted her a Van Cleef necklace and a Bottega Veneta bag. Jane confirmed he did, and then quipped at Geragos, “I’m sure you have one.” Geragos said she didn’t.

Geragos then asked, “How much do Bottega bags run?”

Jane shot back: “How much does my body cost?”

The judge cautioned Jane to answer the questions as asked.

When Geragos asked again how much a Bottega Veneta bag costs, Jane said they range from $1,500 to $5,000. When asked, Jane said she didn’t know how much a Chanel bag costs.

Jane says she agreed to sexual encounters with other men because she thought it was the only way to see Combs​

Defense attorney Teny Geragos showed the jury more texts, these from November 2021, between Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jane planning to see each other.

In the messages, Combs told Jane to “be explicit,” prompting her to send explicit messages about sex acts with Combs and an “entertainer.”

Geragos and Jane read some of the messages aloud in the courtroom. Jane testified that she spoke in graphic sexual language knowing that’s what Combs wanted.

After exchanging a series of “fantasy” messages about the “entertainers,” Combs asked what Jane wanted to do.

She wrote that she wanted to “spend time with [her] favorite person,” meaning Combs. Combs then asked Jane if she wanted him to stop by with an “entertainer.”

Jane testified she said yes to the sexual encounter with the “entertainer” at her home because it was the only way to see Combs.

The jury saw more messages between Combs and Jane, in which Combs asked her, “You can’t handle no more?”


Jane testified that Combs was trying to encourage her to have sex with someone else.


“The undertone of that is I can’t handle anymore, kind of teasing or taunting me to have one of these nights,” she said.


Jane confirmed she and Combs had a “hotel night” after these messages.

Jane’s earlier testimony is "critical" to the sex trafficking allegations, legal analyst says​

“Jane,” one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ accusers testifying under a pseudonym, is undergoing cross-examination this morning. Her earlier testimony during direct questioning has been “critical” to the government’s case, according to CNN legal analyst Joey Jackson.

“She is critical with regard to the sex trafficking allegations because we’re talking about whether or not this was consensual,” Jackson told CNN. “With respect to the actual things that she says (during testimony), I think she furthers that narrative.”

Jackson said Jane’s testimony about telling Combs she no longer wanted to participate in the “hotel nights” or be what she described as the “side chick” in her own relationship, as well as telling Combs she felt like she was “reading my own sexual trauma” in Cassie Ventura’s civil lawsuit, speaks to the broader sex trafficking charge.

“This goes to the broader issues not only of proving the charges but to the issue of pattern, the issue of physical abuse, the issue of psychological abuse, the issue, from the prosecution’s perspective, that this is his MO and that’s critical,” Jackson added.

Jackson says the defense will likely focus on the “voluntary participation” angle, given Jane and Combs’ years-long relationship, as cross-examination continues.

“These are the narratives, coercion or voluntary participation,” Jackson said.

Jane describes her difficult relationship with Combs' chief of staff​

Defense attorney Teny Geragos read messages between Jane and Kristina Khorram, who was Sean “Diddy” Combs’ chief of staff, around the times Combs asked Jane to bring drugs to Miami for him.

Jane previously testified that she spoke with Khorram on the phone, and Khorram told her it was fine and instructed Jane to put the drugs in her checked luggage.

The messages read aloud did not include Khorram saying that, but Jane maintained that she spoke on the phone with Khorram about it.

Geragos asked if Khorram would fly on Combs’ private plane when she traveled with him. Jane said she assumed so but said she wasn’t sure.

Jane testified that she and Khorram were not close, and she said that Khorram didn’t like her.

Jane said that her dynamic with Khorram was hard on her relationship with Combs because the employee was always with Combs.

“I believe that she had very strong opinions about me, which influenced a great deal of how Sean also treated me,” Jane said.

Defense asks about Combs' reactions to Jane crying after two "hotel nights"​

Defense attorney Teny Geragos revisited two occasions in which Jane had testified that she cried after a “hotel night.”

On one occasion at the beginning of her relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs, Jane cried when Combs was going to leave her soon after a “hotel night,” she testified.


When asked, Jane confirmed that when she asked Combs to stay with her to comfort her, he rearranged his plans so he could.

On another occasion toward the middle of their relationship, Jane recalled, she cried in the shower with Combs after a “hotel night.”

Geragos asked Jane to confirm that Combs was high on ecstasy at the time.

Jane confirmed Combs said he was “too high” to see her cry and said, “you’re gonna ruin my high.”
