During the second day of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial in New York City, Cassie Ventura, his former partner, delivered detailed and emotional testimony. She described a decade-long relationship marked by coercion, abuse, and manipulation.

Ventura testified that Combs exerted control over nearly every aspect of her life, including her music career, personal appearance, and daily activities. She recounted being coerced into participating in drug-fueled sexual encounters, referred to as "freak-offs," which Combs orchestrated and sometimes recorded. These sessions often involved escorts and left her feeling degraded and powerless.

Cassie Ventura reveals Diddy gave her a loaded gun while high on mushrooms and blocked her music career under a 10-album deal

One particularly harrowing incident Ventura described involved Combs handing her a loaded gun while she was under the influence of mushrooms, an experience she found terrifying. She also detailed instances of physical abuse, including being beaten and dragged by her hair, and noted the presence of firearms in Combs' residences, which she believed were used as intimidation tools.

Ventura's testimony also highlighted how her music career was stifled under Combs' control. Despite signing a 10-album deal with Bad Boy Records, only her debut album was released, and she was not compensated for the remainder of her contract. She expressed that her professional aspirations were sidelined in favor of fulfilling Combs' personal demands.

The courtroom also reviewed surveillance footage from a 2016 incident where Combs was seen assaulting Ventura in a hotel hallway, an event she described as a turning point that made her realize the need to escape the relationship. Her husband, Alex Fine, was present in court to support her during her testimony.

Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and related offenses. If convicted, he could face life imprisonment. The trial is expected to continue over the coming weeks, with Ventura's testimony serving as a central component of the prosecution's case.
