Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs allegedly hosted ‘freak off’ parties, where he supplied drugs and got women to perform sex acts on male escorts, prosecutors claimed at the start of the rapper’s trial
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs kept his girlfriend drugged for ‘half of every week’, getting her to perform sex acts on male escorts during ‘freaks off’ he filmed, a court has heard.
As the hip-hop mogul’s explosive criminal trial got underway today (Monday May 12), jurors were told how he would then use the tapes to blackmail he. Assistant US Attorney Emily Johnson described the disturbing cycle of abuse that his ex, Cassie Ventura, and others allegedly endured for years. They added there are videos of these, which will be used later in the trial.
In one encounter, they claim, Diddy allegedly forced an escort to pee in her mouth.
“Half of every week, Cassie was in a dark hotel room, high and awake for days performing sex acts she did not want to do on male escorts,” she told jurors in the New York court.
“These sexual performances lasted multiple days, and they involved multiple escorts.”
Johnson said Combs used “lies, drugs, threats, and violence” to control both Ventura and another woman referred to as Jane. “The defendant insisted that the sex occur in a very specific, highly orchestrated way,” she added.
Johnson said the I’ll Be Missing You hitmaker recorded the encounters and used the footage as blackmail. “He told her he could destroy her career by releasing the videos of her performing sex acts on dozens and dozens of male escorts,” Johnson said.
“They were souvenirs of the most humiliating nights of her life.”
In one incident, Ventura was allegedly forced to participate in a freak off while she still had “an open wound on her face from the defendant’s most recent assault,” Johnson said.
Combs sat at the defence table as the prosecution began her opening statement with a brutal account of one such night.
“Let’s start now with one night. The defendant was on the hunt for his girlfriend,” Johnson told the jury. She said Combs, 55, was enraged after learning she had been seeing another man.
Armed with a gun and accompanied by his bodyguard, he stormed off to find her.
“He took his gun and his bodyguard, and yelled that he’d killed the man,” Johnson said. When Combs found Ventura, “he beat her, brutally kicking her in the back and flinging her around like a rag doll.”
“This is Sean Combs,” Johnson said, pointing to the defendant. “To the public, he was Puff Daddy or Diddy, a cultural icon, a businessman, larger than life. But there was another side to him. A side that ran a criminal enterprise.
Among the alleged offences are kidnapping, arson, drug trafficking, sex crimes, bribery, and obstruction of justice. He has pleaded not guilty.
Diddy’s court proceedings will take place over eight weeks.
