WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT. Cassie Ventura has made allegations about the days-long ‘Freak Offs’ that she claims she was forced to participate in by her former partner, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs
What charges does Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs face?
As the trial of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs continues, the hip-hop mogul’s former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, has testified about the “disgusting” Freak Offs she was allegedly forced to take part in, and the effect this had on her.
Diddy, who was arrested in September 2024, stands accused of various charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution. The 55-year-old, who is currently being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre (MDC), denies all allegations he faces and has had several bail pleas rejected.
Among those giving evidence at the Federal District Courthouse in Lower Manhattan, New York City, was 38-year-old Cassie, who shed tears as she described being “humiliated” during Freak Offs, which she claimed took place in hotels and their homes, in the cities of New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Ibiza.
Facing the 12 jurors, Cassie, who was involved in an 11-year-long on-and-off relationship with Diddy between the years 2007 and 2018, claimed the Freak Offs would leave hotel rooms “trashed”, and said that Diddy was “controlling” and “directing” the sessions.

Baby oil requirement
While giving testimony, Cassie told the court how Diddy’s staff would provide items such as baby oil, lubricant, and condoms. According to Cassie, they would allegedly use “quite a bit” of baby oil as Diddy liked them to be “glistening.” If he believed Cassie hadn’t used enough, Diddy would instruct her to apply more, the court heard.
The model, dancer and singer also alleged that the Freak Off sessions followed a similar pattern, telling the court: “It was established pretty early on in doing the Freak Offs that Sean [Diddy] enjoyed a lot of conversation and describing”. These sessions would allegedly begin with “oil and touching” before participants engaged in oral sex, then sexual intercourse, in what Cassie described as a gradual process.
Cassie alleged that while she had wanted to move on to the next process to speed things along, Diddy was “controlling” the situation. She told the court: “He was directing it.”
Humiliating act
She told the court how Diddy would urinate on her or ask an escort to urinate on her. But Cassie said she didn’t want anybody urinating on her and felt “humiliated”. She added: “It was disgusting. It was too much. It was overwhelming.”
When prosecutors asked her whether there was anything she enjoyed about the Freak Offs, Cassie burst into tears, alleging that “the time spent with him” was the only time she felt she could spend with Diddy. Cassie shared: “I felt disgusting. I was humiliated. I didn’t have the words to put together at the time how horrible I really felt, and I couldn’t talk to anybody about it.”
She then went on to allege that she’d tried to “gently” approach Diddy about not wanting to partake in Freak Offs. She told the court: “I didn’t want to upset him or make him angry with me for even sharing it. But I would just tread it lightly when I brought it up. Sometimes I would email him about it. I didn’t want anything bad to happen.”
Four-day Freak Off
According to Cassie, the longest Freak Off went on for four or more days, with some breaks. She went on to share how she spent “a big chunk of her life” recovering from drug use and dehydration after partaking in the Freak Offs.
The singer recalled: “The ‘Freak Offs’ became a job, where there was no space to do anything else but to recover and just try to feel normal again.” When asked how she was able to stay awake for such long durations, Cassie explained: “The drugs honestly helped.” She then went on to testify how Diddy gave her ecstasy or cocaine, which she then took.
As detailed by Cassie, Diddy was the one who would allegedly decide when it was time for the Freak Offs to end. She told the court how, during one “session”, she believed it would be the last one, sharing how she’d thought that “hopefully that would be the last one.”
Teny Geragos, defending, acknowledged Combs’ violent past, including a 2016 hotel assault on Cassie, which was caught on camera. She told the court: “What Combs did to Cassie on this videotape is indefensible. It is not evidence of sex trafficking. It is evidence of domestic violence.”
Ms Geragos asserted that the musician is “a very flawed individual but still not a racketeer, trafficker or somebody transporting for prostitution”. The trial continues.
