The courtroom fell silent as Cassie described what was shown in images from \u2018freak offs.’<\/p>\n

Full name\u00a0Casandra Ventura<\/a>, the singer has been\u00a0giving evidence in court<\/a>\u00a0as Sean \u2018Diddy<\/a>\u2019 Combs faces charges of racketeering,\u00a0sex<\/a>\u00a0trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied all of this and pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n

Cassie\u2019s second day of testimony yesterday (14 May) revealed further details of alleged abuse, with the pair in a relationship from 2007 to 2018. Diddy\u2019s trial has\u00a0exposed more<\/a>\u00a0about the drug-fuelled \u2018freak offs<\/a>\u2019 he allegedly held that could \u2018last up to four days.’<\/p>\n

It is claimed the rapper orchestrated these alleged encounters with male sex workers and would record them, later threatening to release a video of Cassie engaging whilst under the influence of drugs.<\/p>\n

Jurors were shown videos of these so-called \u2018freak offs\u2019, which the now 38-year-old said she \u2018hated doing\u2019 but continued to do under coercion because it \u2018felt like I did my job.’<\/p>\n

The judge ordered that this evidence should not be shown to the public.<\/p>\n

One of the images showed \u2018Mia\u2019 (a pseudonym for another women who has accused Combs of abuse) as another two showed an escort. One of these included Cassie, as a still from a longer clip.<\/p>\n

It is said the courtroom fell silent as the jurors viewed the images on their own screens.<\/p>\n

With the singer pictured with other men at these \u2018freak offs\u2019, she said of one image: \u201cThere is baby oil on me and I am standing there during a freak off with a candle and lubricant on a table.\u201d<\/p>\n

CNN’s live court\u00a0report<\/a>\u00a0stated that one ‘female juror let out a deep breath and rested her hand on her chest as an image was placed on the monitor before her.’<\/p>\n

It was also said that a ‘male juror looked at the screen at one of the images and his eyes appeared to move away quickly\u2019 with another writing something on his notepad.<\/p>\n

Cassie also claimed that Diddy would use the recordings of these ‘freak offs’ to ‘blackmail’ her and she feared he would ‘make me look like a slut.’ She testified that he once played a video on a commercial flight back to the US following an argument they had in Cannes in 2013.<\/p>\n

“He was showing them with other people around,” Cassie told the court. “I said, ‘You are embarrassing me.’ I was scared, I felt trapped, how do you get out of this situation? I felt trapped.”<\/p>\n

She added that they then had another ‘freak off’ within hours of landing ‘so he wouldn’t be angry or hurt me.’<\/p>\n

The trial continues later today and Cassie will face cross-examination.<\/p>\n
