Cassie reveals disturbing way Diddy would 'punish' her after describing shocking 'freak off' party details at trial

Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie has detailed the disturbing way he would allegedly 'punish' her during her testimony in court on Tuesday (May 13).

Diddy - whose real name Sean Combs - was arrested and charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion last year after being detained at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan, New York.

The rapper has denied all allegations made against him.

Since his arrest, Combs has spent the past months at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center before his trial began on Monday (May 12).

After the opening remarks by both prosecution and defence were delivered yesterday, his ex-girlfriend, Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura, has taken to the stand today to detail how Diddy allegedly would 'punish' her during their relationship, which lasted on-and-off from 2007 to 2018.

Cassie told the court that Combs would take away her things as part of a punishment, claiming that he would 'would take the car away, the house, jewelry', as well as her laptop and phone.

She further claimed that his staff or security would be the one to take them 'if she wasn't there'. Cassie continued to say that he would take things away 'depending on how he felt', adding: "It depended on how long I was being punished for."

When asked if there was anything else he'd take beside her car and apartment, she replied: "My self-confidence."

During her testimony, the singer also spoke about the alleged 'freak-offs', where she claimed they were 'sexual encounter[s] called voyeurism' where Combs would watch her have sex with another man.

She also recalled what happened when she was first introduced to these so-called 'freak-off' parties.

"I remember my stomach falling to my butt," she said. "Just the nervousness and confusion… I had just turned 22."

Cassie claims it involved hiring an escort and Combs would watch her with another man while directing them, as per the BBC.

She explained in court how she didn't want to be involved, but ultimately did so because she 'loved him [Diddy] very much' and 'wanted to make him happy'.

She added: "The freak offs became a job. There was no time to do anything else but do them then try to recover. The longest was four days, significant periods of time."

Cassie also spoke about the alleged nature of their relationship and claimed that Combs had his abusive ways, telling the prosecution how Diddy's moods would vary day to day and that when it ‘swung’ he would show ‘anger’.

Speaking of how it impacted her, she said: “Greatly. The next thing I knew I was getting hit in the face. There was also psychological abuse. He'd tell me to watch my mouth, change my face.”
