Warning: This article contains allegations of sex trafficking, abuse, assault and drug use which some readers may find distressing.

Cassie Ventura has detailed a time she 'woke up in hospital' amid her relationship with Sean 'Diddy' Combs and participating in the alleged 'freak off' parties.

On May 12, the sex trafficking trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs began in Manhattan federal court - the rapper having been indicted by a grand jury and arrested in September last year.

The 55-year-old is charged with racketeering conspiracy, two charges of sex trafficking and two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution - the rapper having denied all charges.

Multiple people have been called to the stand including R&B singer and dancer Cassie - real name Casandra Ventura - a former partner of Combs.

The pair dated for around a decade - Ventura 19 years old at the time they first met and Combs 37.

Ventura has detailed allegations of rape and abuse alongside revealing what happened at Combs' alleged 'freak off' parties.

Yesterday (May 15), Combs' lawyer Anna Estevao cross-examined Ventura, honing in on the alleged drug use within the pair's relationship.

The lawyer questioned whether Combs and Ventura had considered rehab, to which Ventura responded: "Rehab wasn't really a thing during our relationship."

Estevoa asked: "The freak offs were an opportunity for you to take drugs together?"

Ventura confirmed they were.

When asked if she 'tried to get into a rehab' called 'the Golden Door', Ventura added it was 'a spa'.

"There was a time I lost all sense of smell and taste and woke up in a hospital with an IV in my arm - I tried then to get help," she added.

It follows Ventura having spoken out about how she got through the alleged 'freak off' parties.

Ventura said she took ketamine during the alleged gatherings to dissociate from the sex acts she didn't want to be involved in.

She told the court she did several drugs at a time and wouldn't eat or sleep because of these alleged 'freak off' parties.

Ventura went on to state she had gastrointestinal issues, sores in her mouth and frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs) as a result.

And despite having 'painful' infections, Ventura claimed Combs still forced her to take part in the events - sometimes allegedly lasting multiple days, which would lead to her having to seek massages and IV fluids to help recover.

Ventura testified in court that when Combs wanted a 'freak-off', he would push until he got one.
