More incendiary claims have been made about Sean Combs on the seventh day of his sex-trafficking and racketeering trial at a\u00a0New York City<\/a><\/span>\u00a0federal court<\/p>\n

Diddy<\/a><\/span>, 55, was seen shivering with cold in the chilly courtroom Tuesday morning – and the claims made against him likely did little to warm his heart.<\/p>\n

His former assistant David James concluded his testimony, which frequently resulted in laughs from spectators.<\/p>\n

But most explosive were the claims made by Sharay Hayes, a male escort who goes by the professional name ‘The Punisher.’<\/p>\n

He gave details of ‘freak off’ sex parties with Diddy and ex-girlfriend\u00a0Cassie Ventura<\/a><\/span>\u00a0at New York hotels including the Trump International on Central Park West.<\/p>\n

And perhaps most jaw-dropping was Hayes’ claim about the unusual garment that Diddy decided to wear to disguise himself.<\/p>\n

Diddy denies all allegations against him. His lawyers admit he’s a woman beater – although he does not face domestic abuse charges – but that he is not guilty of sex trafficking or racketeering.<\/p>\n

Thank you for following along below for our latest updates from the Manhattan courtroom where Diddy is fighting for his freedom. Court will resume tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Diddy ‘wore Islamic attire during freak off’<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

The veil Diddy wore to disguise himself during a ‘freak off’ with an escort known as ‘The Punisher’ was an Islamic niqab, sometimes known as a burqa his trial was told Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A niqab covers the entire face, only leaving the eyes showing. It is often referred to as a burqua, although that is technically a covering that also has a fabric grille over the eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘I could not see his face,’ male performer Sharay Hayes said of the first time he met Diddy and Cassie, in 2012.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘He had what the Muslim women wear, where their face is completely covered and you could only see his eyes,’ he adde, according to\u00a0The New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘The Punisher’ said he had between eight and 12 total encounters with the couple.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He said he’d also met with them at Essex House, a luxurious hotel on Central Park South, just a stone’s throw from the Trump International Hotel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Hayes added that as Combs became more comfortable in his presence, he switched from wearing a veil to a baseball cap.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Obama is named in bizarre trial moment<\/h2>\n

\n

Former President\u00a0Barack Obama<\/a>\u00a0was bizarrely named in Sean ‘Diddy<\/a>‘ Combs’ ongoing federal trial in shocking testimony about drug-taking at the rapper’s infamous ‘freak off’ parties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The moment came\u00a0as Diddy’s former personal assistant David James testified on Tuesday<\/a>, saying A-listers would pop pills including Percocet and ecstasy at the parties.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Cassie Ventura’s testimony ended with $10M settlement bombshell<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Cassie said she expects to receive a $10 million settlement from the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles, where she was assaulted by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in 2016.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Security camera footage aired last year on CNN shows the hip-hop mogul hitting and kicking Cassie, knocking her to the floor as she attempted to leave a ‘freak off’ sexual encounter at the hotel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cassie revealed the figure during questioning by Combs\u2019 lawyer in a phase of her testimony known as re-cross. She said the figure was an estimate and that the settlement was reached recently. She didn\u2019t disclose the nature of her claim against the hotel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sex worker mentioned in Diddy case killed a woman in 2020<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Ash Armand, a former star on the reality TV show Gigolos, was among the escorts identified by Ventura as having been hired for the freak-offs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Showtime series followed the life of Armand – legal name Akshaya Kubiak – and other escorts who worked for Cowboys4Angels, which was frequently used by Ventura and Diddy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kubiak was sentenced to eight to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter and mayhem over the July 2020 death of Herleen Dulai.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Dulai, 29, was beaten to death after she and Kubiak took psychedelic mushrooms together at his home, according to an arrest warrant obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kubiak claimed he ‘blacked out’ and had no recollection of attacking Dulai, who died of blunt force trauma and strangulation. The coroner ruled her death a homicide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The former Gigolos star initially faced a murder charge, but accepted a plea in September 2021. He was sentenced to prison in December that year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kid Cudi expected to take the stand against Diddy on Wednesday<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

The rapper Kid Cudi is on the witness list for the prosecution for Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cassie previously testified that Diddy threatened to hurt her and Cudi after he learned they were dating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cassie said she began a brief relationship with Kid Cudi ‘during a rough patch’ with Diddy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She claimed Diddy went through her phone and found emails between her and the American rapper and became enraged.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Diddy allegedly placed a manual corkscrew in between his fingers and lunged at her, according to the lawsuit and she ran away to stay with Kid Cudi, according to the suit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cassie later returned and the music executive allegedly hit her several times, and then kicked her in the back as she tried to run out the door, the filing claims.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

During Paris Fashion Week, she claims Diddy told her he was going to blow up Kid Cudi’s car and that he wanted to make sure he was home with his friends when it happened.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘Around that time, Kid Cudi\u2019s car exploded in his driveway,’ the lawsuit stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When asked what he found in Diddy’s home last year, agent Gannon said: ‘Parts of AR-15 rifles, sex toys and Astroglide.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The jury then saw images of the magazines which the agent said were loaded with bullets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Gerard Ganon began his testimony Tuesday by saying authorities decided to go into the property after learning that ‘Mr. Combs and his family were flying out of the country.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The agent said there was a pier in Diddy’s Star Island mansion and they had to monitor it while they investigated him to make sure he did not use it to escape the law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Diddy’s former assistant reveals mogul’s demands<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Diddy’s former assistant David James said on Tuesday his job sometimes required him to ensure that hotel rooms where Combs stayed under the name ‘Frank Black’ were stocked with the musician\u2019s comforts, including fresh underwear, an iPod, apple sauce, vodka, baby oil, Viagra and condoms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

There were also surprising moments, James said, like one in 2008 when Combs asked him to bring an iPod from his Miami home to a hotel room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Upon entering, James said he saw Cassie on the bed with a white comforter pulled up to her neck and an unfamiliar naked man running from the room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The judge allowed it though, saying the threats to release sex tapes and harm Cassie made it an instance of ‘potential extortion.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Escort testifies he struggled through ‘freak offs’<\/h2>\n
\n

An escort known as The Punisher said on the stand that sometimes he struggled to perform during sex sessions with Cassie and Diddy – and the experience inspired him to write a book titled ‘In Search of freezer Meat.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At times I experienced anxiety so there were times I struggled getting and maintaining an erection.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When asked why, he replied: ‘a sexual scenario with a woman\u2019s partner present actively giving directions was not the norm for me so it created discomfort that could affect me and my performance.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The male performer saidhe took Viagra and Cialis – ‘anything that I thought could help me perform. It was a lot of pressure.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Diddy’s lawyers say he is a violent jerk and a swinger, but not a sex trafficker<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Defense lawyer Teny Geragos took a novel approach to defending Combs in her opening statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She conceded the hip-hop impresario has a ‘bad temper’ and is prone to violent outbursts that are often fueled by alcohol, jealousy and drugs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But she maintained that while his actions might have warranted domestic violence charges, they aren\u2019t proof he engaged in sex trafficking and racketeering \u2014 the charges he faces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Geragos argued that Combs\u2019 sexual habits were part of a swinger lifestyle involving consenting adults and reminded jurors that \u201ckinky\u201d sexual predilections don\u2019t equate to sex trafficking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘Sean Combs is a complicated man. But this is not a complicated case,’ she said. ‘This case is about love, jealousy, infidelity and money.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Texts between Diddy and Cassie show a complex relationship<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Defense lawyers, during their cross-examination of Cassie last week, sought to cast the musician as an enthusiastic participant in the sex marathons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘I\u2019m always ready to freak off,’ she wrote in one 2009 message read in court.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Later that year, however, Cassie expressed frustration with the state of their relationship and told Combs she needed something more from him than sex.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In a 2017 text message, Cassie told Combs: ‘I love our FOs when we both want it,’ using the initials of freak-off. On the stand, Cassie explained: ‘I would say loving FOs were just words at that point.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

What did Cassie say on the stand?<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Cassie testified Tuesday that the mercurial music mogul \u2014 powerful, abusive and controlling \u2014 beat her mercilessly and ordered her to have \u201cdisgusting\u201d sex with strangers during drug-fueled, multi-day marathons he called ‘freak offs.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cassie, whose legal name is Casandra Ventura, sniffled and dabbed her eyes with a tissue, sighed heavily and paused to compose herself through about five hours of testimony at Combs\u2019 sex trafficking trial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The singer told jurors that his demands for her to engage in sometimes-revolting sex acts \u2014 sometimes as he watched from another room via FaceTime \u2014 left her feeling ‘heavily objectified.’ But, she said, she endured them because she was in love with Combs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When she did try to leave, she said, Combs punished her \u2014 most notably in a 2016 assault captured on a security camera at a Los Angeles hotel. In the video, played in court for a fifth time, Combs is seen hitting, kicking and attempting to drag her back to their room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘Freak off’ videos will NOT be shown in court<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Judge Arun Subramanian provisionally denied a joint application by news outlets for the videos to be played in open court and be described by the media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He agreed with a prosecution argument that playing them would ‘revictimize’ Ventura and one of the unnamed female victims who will testify later iun the trial.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The judge also denied an alternative proposal to allow three pool reporters to stay in court when they were played, and share reports with other outlets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019m not seeing any case that would suggest in any way, shape, or form that images or videos of these types of acts that are alleged to be sexual abuse would be required to be shown in open court when they pose the obvious risk of revictimization,’ he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Robert Balin, the lawyer who argued on behalf of the press, earlier said the First Amendment was ‘at its zenith’ in the case.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He argued it was important ‘people, though the press, be able to see justice is being done’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Balin said the best evidence of whether the sex acts in the ‘freak offs’ were coerced – which underpinned the prosecution’s case – were the videos themselves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The application was only ever to view the videos and describe them, not for the footage to ever become public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Punisher says Diddy wore a veil during his first freak off encounter<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Escort Sharay Hayes described his first encounter with Diddy and Cassie to the court on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘There was an area for me to sit and her to sit and there were little bowls of water and bottles of baby oil,’ he said of the meeting at the Trump International Hotel on Central Park West.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘Ms Ventura got on the sofa opposite me and I followed, mimicked what she did. She got a bottle of baby oil and started pouring it on herself and I did similar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘A few minutes (later) I could see her husband enter the room. The man was nude but I could not see his face, there was a veil I could see he had a bottle of astroglide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At some point the man stood up and left the room, Ms Ventura follow him out.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He said he was paid an additional $1,200 when he was done.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When asked, the witness said he had between eight and 12 total encounters with the couple.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He said he’d also met with them at Essex House, a luxurious hotel on Central Park South, just a stone’s throw from the Trump International Hotel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hayes added that as Combs became more comfortable in his presence, he switched from wearing a veil to a baseball cap.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Cassie named him as one of the escorts she and Diddy hired for sex.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The book, released in September 2022, details anonymous accounts of his encounters with Diddy and Cassie, labeling them as a ‘married wealthy couple.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘I use personal stories, where I try to make light of issues, comical references,’ Hayes said in his testimony.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Diddy’s lawyers will not cross-examine Cassie’s mom<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Diddy’s lawyers told the court they did not have questions for Regina Ventura after the prosecution ended their direct examination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n<\/div>\n

\n

Regina told the court about various incidents where she saw Diddy turn aggressive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She said she once called police after Diddy took Cassie’s phone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She also said one time in 2012 Diddy became enraged out of nowhere after one of his employees, Mia, laughed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We were standing around talking casually, laughing and [Mia] was laughing and all of a sudden he didn’t\u2019 want her too and he asked her what she was laughing at.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

At one point he appeared frustrated as he tried to make a point to his attorneys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The judge eventually adressed the tempetaure in the room – ‘we\u2019re going to try to get the temperature turned up a few degrees. I\u2019ve been told it\u2019s complicated. I\u2019m freezing in here with you.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Regina Ventura testified that Diddy demanded that Cassie pay him $20,000 after he learned she was dating rapper Kid Cudi.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She said she and her husband tok out a home equity loan because ‘that\u2019s the only way we could get the money’ and they were scared for Cassie’s safety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘[Diddy] was angry he\u2019d spent money on her and she\u2019d been with another person.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘His bookkeeper emailed me the wire information. I went to the (bank) and wired the money to the account.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Cassie’s mom Regina takes the stand against Diddy<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Regina Ventura took the stand for the prosecution on Tuesday, saying she met Diddy after her daughter Cassie signed to his label in 2006.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prosecutors showed the jury a text exchange from December 23, 2011, from Cassie.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The text read: ‘[Diddy] is going to release two explicit sex tapes of me, one on Christmas Day, maybe before or right after and another one some time after…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He will be having someone hurt me and (Kid Cudi) physically.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Regina Ventura said: ‘I was physically sick. I did not understand a lot of it. The sex tapes threw me. I didn\u2019t know the other person but I knew he was trying to hurt my daughter.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

During cross-examination, Diddy’s former assistant David James told the court that the mogul demanded he had ketchup for all of his meals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘Ketchup was a big item he always needed for his food. It was to create a consistent environment which held,’ David said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘Ketchup in the UK is not similar to the Ketchup in America,’ David told the court.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘[Diddy] would be not happy.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n

Witness David James told the court that he quit as Diddy’s assistant after an incident involving the mogul’s rival Suge Knight in 2008.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Diddy then allegedly grabbed three guns and instructed James to drive back to the diner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘This was the first time as his assistant that I realized my life was in danger. I told them I want to leave but give six months notice so I could train the next assistant,’ James told the jury on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Diddy’s former assistant David James said he once took ecstasy and went to a Diddy New Year’s Eve party.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘I was also drinking Ciroc that night,’ he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘Normally I\u2019m very straight edged, don\u2019t have much emotion. I was dancing, Diddy bopping all around the party… I was just vibing, enjoying myself.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A few days later, Diddy confronted him with a video of him dancing at the party, James claimed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘[Diddy] said I\u2019m going to keep this footage in case I need it. It was so out of character for me it would be embarrassing if he released that footage to the public.’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Suge Knight incident comes up again during Diddy trial<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Diddy’s former assistant is being questioned about an incident Cassie Ventura mentioned during her time on the stand involving Suge Knight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Cassie claimed Diddy one left her during a freak off at his Los Angeles home to confront rival record executive Suge Knight at Mel\u2019s Drive-In, a landmark diner nearby.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘R-Rock came in and said Suge was down at a diner. Sean drove over there…. I cried, said don’t do something stupid,’ Cassie said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘It was like I wasn\u2019t even there. They put on a bunch of black clothes, went in the safe, grabbed guns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

‘Next thing I knew they were in the SUV just whipping down there. I saw them get dressed and leave the house.’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Knight, 59, was the CEO of Death Row Records while Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, 54, was the CEO of rival company Bad Boy Entertainment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
