Place to testimony, in The trial of the Hip-Hop P. Diddy magnate for sexual trafficking. The singer of R&B Cassie – Casandra Ventura – spoke before the New York court on Tuesday, May 13. Key witness to the trial of her ex-companion, she returned to physical violence And psychological of the producer, which she had seen for the first time in years. At the helm, the American singer retraced her meeting with P.Diddy, who quickly turned in Calvary.

Cassie met P.Diddy when she was 19 years old: the rapper and producer made her sign a contract with his label, Bad Boy Records, for ten albums – of which only one will be released. Despite an age difference, Sean Combs kisses him on the day of his 21 years. The young woman then says she has melted in tears and says she « Enfuie ». They still continue to see each other and end up having sex, she tells the jury, under the eyes of the accused, now 55 years old.

« I wanted to be with Sean for the same reasons as everyone at the time »testifies the 38 -year -old singer: « He was just an exciting, entertaining, fun – guy who also had, you know, my career in his hands. » But, when she falls in love with the rapper, Cassie says she was forced to participate in « Freak-offs » : Long sexual marathons that P. Diddy directed, and of which she was the star but also, she assures, the object.

According to the singer’s account, Sean Combs encouraged her to take drugs before having sex, often with prostituted men, while he was watching and masturbating. « I hovered, so I didn’t feel much », She explained to the court. And to add that if she did not respond to the orders of her executioner, he sent her close guard to look for her. If she did not comply with her desires, he struck her: « I was humiliated ». « I couldn’t tell anyone », she underlined. « I felt like I was not good for him for him. »

Questioned by the prosecutors to find out if she had already asked that these marathons stop, Cassie replies that she tried, but in vain. « Sean is really a clearing, but truly charming »she explains. « It is difficult to decide at that time what you need when he tells you what he wants. »

Defense lawyers intend to demonstrate that Cassie was an adult, freely involved in what they describe as unconventional, but consented sexual activity. Cassie, on the contrary depicts sexual performance led by Sean Combs in rooms with room lighting and where we find oils for babies and lubricants. The rapper insists so that she has transparent outfits and heels bought in sex shops for these « freak-offs », which take place in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Atlanta, as well as in Ibiza or in the Turkish and Caica Islands, a British archipelago near the Bahamas.

She explains that drugs helped her to take the « humiliation » of these sexual relations. Her voice begins to tremble when she recounts the violence suffered in 2016 in a hotel in Los Angeles, where Sean Combs has violently relentless on her. Filmed by surveillance cameras, the images without sound of the scene in the halls of the hotel had been revealed by CNN and were broadcast several times to the jurors. They are only one example among others of the physical violence that the singer says she suffered in more than ten years of relationship.
