Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial updates: Cassie Ventura breaks down as testimony concludes

After a "freak off," Cassie Ventura testified that she and Sean Combs would receive intravenous fluids, massages, food and, often, drugs.

Ventura told the court that she had “an off-and-on addiction” to opiates.

“Opiates made me feel numb, which is why I relied on them so heavily,” Ventura testified. “I didn’t actually want to feel what was going on in my life in real time. It was just an escape for me.”

Ventura also testified that Combs sometimes supplied the opiates she took. Other times, she testified, she got them from a drug dealer or from friends.

Taking drugs left her with “stomach issues and gastrointestinal issues,” Ventura testified. She also told the court that she had “a lot of UTIs,” referring to urinary tract infections.

“If you’ve had one you know how painful it is,” Ventura testified. “When we were having frequent 'freak offs' sometimes they were back-to-back. Sometimes I was doing the 'freak off' with an infection.”

“I actually can’t believe that I dealt with that," Ventura told the court.

“How did it feel to have sex when you had a UTI?” prosecutor Emily Johnson asked.

“Horrible, just the most uncomfortable burning,” Ventura responded.

The jury saw a text exchange between Ventura and Combs in which she told him about a urinary tract infection she had. She also told him how she was rehearsing her singing following a "freak off."

“I have all these sores on my tongue so it’s kind of uncomfortable,” her message said.

In addition to what she said was the physical pain, Ventura testified that the "freak offs" left her emotionally “empty.”

“It just felt like, okay, I did my job and I’m getting on with my life. Just gross,” Ventura testified.

“Did you want to do freak offs?” Johnson asked.

“No,” Ventura replied.

As she did on the stand Tuesday, Cassie Ventura again flipped through a binder containing photographs of escorts that she testified then were hired for "freak offs."

In a matter-of-fact tone she recalled their names: Ash, Brian, Dave, Greg and someone she testified she knew as “Islander.”

Ventura testified that she had sex with all of them, some in multiple cities. She also told the court that it’s possible she and Combs had some of the escorts flown to different places for the purpose of having sex, testimony that federal prosecutors hope will prove one of the charges Combs faces: that of transportation for the purposes of prostitution.

Ventura told the court that she hired the escorts herself: “It was expected of me."

Ventura also testified that Combs turned the "freak offs" into “blackmail,” allegedly threatening to release video recordings of the sex sessions “when he was upset about something.”

Ventura testified that Combs threatened “to embarrass me and put my career in jeopardy,” and that she “absolutely” feared he would release the videos.

“I just feared for my career. I feared for my family. It’s just embarrassing and disgusting. Nobody should do that to anyone,” Ventura testified.

Ventura also said on the stand that Combs allegedly told her that the videos “could ruin everything“ that she had worked for and make her look “like a slut.”

The jury saw a text message from Ventura asking Combs to “please delete any video” from his phone. Combs responded that he had but Ventura testified that there were times when she had seen videos that she thought had been deleted.

Cassie Ventura’s testimony returned to March 5, 2016, at the InterContinental Hotel in Century City, California. She narrated the video depicting Sean Combs throwing a vase full of flowers at her after she said she tried to escape a "freak off" that had turned violent.

“I just remembered it coming towards me. I didn’t get hit. I remember it hitting the wall. He was yelling at me,” Ventura said.

Ventura testified that Combs sent a barrage of text messages to her after she had left the hotel, begging her to get in touch.

The text messages were shown in court. “Yo pls call me. I got six kids. Pls call me,” one message said. “Call me. Call now,” another said.

“I have a premiere Monday for the biggest thing I’ve ever done and I have a black eye and fat lip,” Ventura messaged Combs in response. “You are sick for thinking it’s ok to do what you’ve done.”

Ventura testified that when she arrived home, a friend noticed her injuries and called police.

“I answered a couple of questions but when they wanted me to say who I was talking about I would not, so they left,” Ventura said of the police visit. “Just in that moment I didn’t want to hurt him in that way. Too much going on for me in that moment. I wasn’t ready.”

Ventura testified Combs then showed up at her apartment building. She said Combs’ assistant, known as KK, notified her.

Ventura testified that she heard “chaos outside the door, banging, kicking, yelling” and “just commotion in a very private building.”

Jurors saw photographs of the sparkling gold gown Ventura wore to the premiere she attended. She is also wearing sunglasses in the photos -- “to cover up my eye” since she “got hit in the face," Ventura testified, referring to the attack shown in the video.

Ventura also testified that she “wore quite a bit of makeup” at the premiere to cover “the bruising on my face.”

Ventura also pointed out bruises on her right leg that were visible in a photograph of her with Combs in her blue after-party dress.

Cassie Ventura's Wednesday testimony is expected to include explicit videos of the alleged sex "freak offs" she said she arranged so often for Sean Combs that it “became a job, where there was no space to do anything else.”

Ventura previously testified that the "freak offs" became private pornography shoots with Combs setting up video equipment.

“It was very, like, like porn,” Ventura said. “I was an object being heavily objectified by men in that scenario.”

She told the jury Tuesday that the idea these “humiliating, disgusting” sessions, which she said involved male prostitutes, were recorded left her “feeling insane.”

“I never wanted anyone to ever see me like that,” Ventura testified. “It just was not OK for me.”

Combs is seated at the defense table and is wearing gray pants, a white collared shirt and a cream-colored sweater. There appear to be fewer members of the Combs family in court today than there were Tuesday.

Ventura, who is pregnant, is seated in the witness box and is wearing a long gray dress covered by a long, dark-colored jacket.
