Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura testified against the Bad Boy Records founder on Tuesday in his sex-racketeering trial.
The ‘Long Way To Go’ singer detailed the long years of psychological and physical abuse she endured while dating Diddy.
She told the court that she was poorly exposed when she met a much older and influential Diddy. She further told the jury that Diddy’s assistants and other employees imposed his will on her.
Cassie named several Diddy staff members she claimed would arrange the Freak Offs and punish her by taking her things away if he was angry with her.
During her testimony on Tuesday, Cassie mentioned several of Diddy’s employees and allies, including his ‘trusted assistants’ Kristina Khoram and Neil Dominic.
Khoram was previously named by others as a ‘fixer’, who allegedly helped Diddy set up the infamous freak offs.
Cassie said: ‘Everything from scheduling to what kind of mood he was in,’ Cassie said when asked what she discussed with Khoram. ‘I talked to [Khoram] about a lot. She knew a lot of my personal things.’
Cassie also claimed Diddy’s security guard, R. Rock ‘used to take away her things as punishment’ on the mogul’s direction. She also said the guard would come find her when she tried to hide from Diddy.
‘[I’d] get my car taken away, get kicked out of an apartment, I’d have jewerly taken away… It was very random depending on how [Diddy] felt.’
She also mentioned other security guards for Diddy, including Roger Bonds, Uncle Paulie, Faheem and Malik.
Before Cassie took the stand, Diddy’s lawyers asked judge to ban Cassie’s husband Alex Fine from courtroom while she testifies because they may want to call him up as a witness later in the trial.
Combs’ defense team have argued that he is guilty of domestic violence, but not of sex-trafficking or racketeering, and that the government is targeting him for his sexual preferences.
