Cassie is finally telling her side in court, and it’s disturbing, emotional, and brutally honest.
The singer, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, opened up about why she went along with the infamous “Freak Offs”, hours-long sex parties that she says her former partner Sean “Diddy” Combs forced her into. Despite calling them traumatic and saying she needed drugs to mentally dissociate during those encounters, Cassie explained that she agreed to participate in hopes of getting even a shred of Diddy’s attention.
Cassie has been testifying over multiple days in Diddy’s trial on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting people to engage in prostitution. Her relationship with Combs spanned over a decade, and in court, she didn’t hold back about what that time looked like behind closed doors. She described repeated incidents of psychological abuse, physical violence, and disturbing sexual coercion, all part of what she says was Diddy’s way of controlling her.
In one of the most shocking parts of her testimony, she talked in detail about the “Freak Offs.” According to Cassie, these weren’t just consensual wild parties, Combs allegedly pressured her into having sex with other men, sometimes while being recorded, and even urinated on her during some of these acts. She testified that he kept the videos and once described them as “blackmail material.”
Cassie told the court she only went through with these situations to try and please him. “It was the only way I could spend time with him,” she said. “I had to be on drugs to get through it.”
But during cross-examination, Diddy’s legal team tried to paint a different picture. They read out text exchanges between the two from back in 2009, with one message showing Diddy asking her, “When do you want to do freak off?” and Cassie responding, “I’m always ready to freak off.” The defense tried to use this to question her claims of coercion.
Still, Cassie held firm on her stance. She said those messages didn’t reflect her true feelings and emphasized again that she was trying to make the relationship work in any way she could. She wasn’t in it for the money, she wanted attention and connection. A 2010 email she wrote to Combs and that was read aloud in court said it all: “That’s not being in a relationship with someone that you love and are in love with… I am really hurt by the way you deal with me. I don’t need your money, I need some attention.”
She also made it clear how scared she was of crossing him. The jury saw the viral hotel surveillance footage from 2016 where Combs is seen chasing, beating, and kicking Cassie in a Los Angeles hotel. According to her testimony, that violent outburst happened after she tried to leave one of the “Freak Off” sessions.
Cassie first made her allegations public in 2023 when she sued Combs for $20 million. That lawsuit was quickly settled, but since then, more lawsuits have poured in against Combs, many of them containing similar claims of sexual and physical abuse. One of the most recent lawsuits was even filed during the ongoing trial.
Combs has been photographed in court wearing a tan sweater over a white shirt, silent as his team tries to fight back against the growing mountain of allegations.
Cassie’s testimony adds another chilling layer to the already massive case against Diddy. Her willingness to speak up about the trauma she endured, despite public scrutiny and legal challenges, is a reminder of just how difficult it is for survivors to be heard, especially when powerful men are involved.
