Cassie Ventura is currently testifying in Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex-trafficking trial, where his defense is trying to depict her as a willing participant in their past relationship. The trial involves severe allegations, including threats to Kid Cudi and drug-induced encounters labeled as "Freak Offs." Throughout her testimony, Cassie has detailed a decade of abuse, culminating in a 2018 rape allegation following their split. Diddy's defense continues to challenge the narrative, emphasizing disputes as personal rather than indicative of a broader criminal scheme.
On Thursday, defense attorney Anna Estevao showed jurors numerous written exchanges between Diddy and Cassie to undermine the singer's claims that he forced her into Freak Offs, indicating the defense's strategy was to paint the relationship as consensual.
Prosecutors have argued that "Freak Offs," drug-fueled encounters with male escorts that Diddy directed, were the point of his alleged racketeering scheme, showing the serious implications of the trial.
Cassieâs testimony highlights the emotional and psychological abuse she endured for a decade, culminating in allegations of rape in 2018 after their breakup.
Diddyâs defense contends that the accusations surrounding the threats to Kid Cudi were misplaced, arguing instead that they stemmed from a personal dispute and not a systemic criminal enterprise.
