Text messages between Diddy and Cassie Ventura shared in court have detailed the 'disturbing' impact these alleged 'freak off' parties had on her body.
Diddy, real name Sean Combs, is currently on trial after being charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion in 2024.
Ever since Combs was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan, New York last September, he has maintained his innocence.

Once the opening remarks were heard on Monday (May 12), the rappers ex-girlfriend took to the stand to be questioned by the prosecution, including being asked about 'freak off' parties.
Explaining 'freak-offs', Cassie said they were 'sexual encounter[s] called voyeurism' where Combs would watch her have sex with other men.
And in court on Wednesday (May 14), Cassie explained the alleged physical toll these 'freak off' parties had on her.

Cassie said she took ketamine during these alleged gatherings as it allowed her 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.
Cassie went on to state she had gastrointestinal issues, sores in her mouth and frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs) during her time with Diddy.
Despite having 'painful' infections, Cassie claims Combs still forced her to take part in the 'freak-offs'. Cassie even said she would be involved in multi-day 'freak-offs', which would lead to her having to seek massages and IV fluids to help recover.

The 38-year-old testified in court that when Combs wanted a 'freak-off', he would push until he got one.
On Cassie's 29th birthday, for example, she wanted to go out with friends to celebrate - she was instead forced to take part in a 'freak-off', the singer claimed in court.
Earlier on in proceedings, Cassie 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."
Ventura claims it involved hiring an escort and Combs would watch her with another man while directing them, as per the BBC.
She told how she didn't want to be involved, but ultimately did so because she 'loved him [Combs] very much' and 'wanted to make him happy'.
Ventura 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."

This comes after CCTV video footage that had been made public last year was shown to jurors, which appeared to show Combs attacking Cassie inside a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.
She claimed that after the incident, she was sent a series of texts from Combs in which he repeatedly demanded that she call him.
