A hotel manager has claimed they found some things in Diddy's room after an alleged 'freak off' and revealed some of the requests he made.

It's the second week into Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial, during which some of his former assistants, ex-girlfriends, associates, and escorts have dropped some bombshells in their testimonies.

Combs, who was arrested from a New York hotel in September last year, stands accused of exploiting his celebrity status to create a sex crime ring involving drug-fueled sex parties dubbed 'freak offs' through the use of force, threats and violence, all of which he denies.

The trial kicked off earlier this month with a heartbreaking testimony from his former long-term girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, who dated Diddy between 2007 and 2018.

She took to the stand and alleged that the rapper was physically abusive, addicted to drugs and coerced her participation into the so-called 'freak offs' which involved her having sex with male escorts.

Jurors were also shown photographs taken by law enforcement from the night of Combs' arrest, which included baby oil, lubricant, medication, and drugs (MDMA and ketamine).

Meanwhile, George Kaplan, a former assistant to the star, claimed he was asked to set up 'freak off' hotel rooms with a specific set of supplies.

Now, a manager in a swanky Los Angeles hotel has come as the next to testify in Combs' trial.

Frédéric Zemmour, the general manager of L’Ermitage in Beverly Hills, allegedly read out notes about the VIP hotel guest from records, one of which stated: "ALWAYS spills candle wax on everything and uses excessive amounts of oil.

“Likes the room HOT! Please set thermostat to 75 degrees.”

Cassie also similarly testified that Combs would want a 'freak off' room to be set up with scented candles mixed with oil and that she would be required to heat up the oil.

The manager further alleged that Combs would book rooms under different names, like 'Ryan Lopez' or 'Frank Black,' the latter of which was also found written on a pill bottle when cops raided his hotel room.

However, staff allegedly knew the music mogul's identity and would ensure he was in certain rooms.

Zemmour also claimed there were instructions for hotel staff to mark the room 'out of order' after the guests left 'for deep cleaning'.

At one point, Combs reportedly got a fine of $500 for 'large deposits of candle wax' on the furniture.

The hotel manager did not face cross-examination from Combs' defense.

The trial continues.
