Sean Diddy Combs' trial has officially begun and the first hearing has already taken place.
The Telegraph reports that the 55-year-old “used his power to force girls into sex parties that lasted for days” and told them to call him “king.” Those who refused were forced to be drugged or sexually abused.
Sean "Diddy" Combs threatened his ex-girlfriend with releasing her sex tapes, kidnapped an employee, set someone's car on fire, and threw someone off a balcony.
His ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, was brutally raped and used to have sex with other men while he watched. One night, when he discovered she was seeing someone else, he “went on a rampage” and said “I was going to kill” the other person. He then “brutally” beat Ventura, “kicking her in the back and throwing her around like a rag doll.”
Combs called himself "the king" and expected to be treated as such. "He and his inner circle made sure he got everything he asked for," said prosecutor Emily Johnson.
According to her, he forced Cassie to attend his infamous parties known as “freak offs.” “He called them ‘freak-offs,’ crazy king nights, or hotel nights. His staff would arrange flights, cars, and hotels. Under his instructions, the staff would set up the room with lube and lighting. The staff would come in with cash to pay the escorts and drugs.” Combs ordered the escorts not to use condoms at his parties.
The prosecution highlighted a statement from Cassie that said she "felt like she was drowning when Diddy forced an escort to urinate in her mouth" during a wild party.
In addition to Ventura, his ex-girlfriend, known as Jane, says she was forced to attend these parties. "Once she wanted to, he told her to hurry up and go back to the room where an escort was waiting." After the girl told him she wanted a relationship and not to attend these parties, he didn't listen. Then he began to control her financially and threatened to publish the videos.
The famous video of him beating Cassie in a hotel room fetched a high price. Combs offered a security guard “a brown paper bag full of $100,000,” the prosecutor said, “trying to get what he thought was the only copy.” The video is expected to play a key role in the trial and was released by CNN in May 2024.
Prosecutors said he hired a male escort to have sex with his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, while Diddy watched from a distance. Daniel Phillip, who was the second witness, said the sessions lasted up to 10 hours.
He said he was paid $5,000 to $7,000 to have sex with Ventura. According to him, she told him that “it was her birthday and her husband wanted to do something nice for her so she asked if I would mind rubbing her with baby oil and giving her a massage.” He said he had sex with Cassie while Combs performed acts of masturbation with a mask on his face.
He says he saw Combs rape Cassie just because she was late to the hotel room, but he himself was threatened after the rapper took a picture of his ID card.
