For sex trade version, singer Cassie Details that were beaten by Sean 'Diddy' Combs in the hotel video

New York-Die R&B singer Cassie returned to the sex trade with ex-boyfriend Sean “Diddy” Combs' sex trade on Wednesday and described a malignant attack by Combs in 2016 in a hotel in Los Angeles in a hotel in Los Angeles.

The notorious video shows how combs beat, kick and try to pull Cassie back into her room. She said it had happened when she left one of the humiliating encounters with male sex workers who fought and called “Freak -offs”. After the film material was leaked last year, Combs apologized.

The public prosecutor has accused combs to take advantage of their status as a powerful music manager to force women to force drugs. Combs is charged with five cases, including sex trade with violence, fraud or compulsion. He denies all allegations.

Combs' lawyers have recognized that Combs could be violent, but claim that the sexual acts were mutually acceptable. They don't say anything he did to affect sex trade or blackmail.

Cassie, whose legal name is Casandra Ventura, was questioned by the public prosecutor. Combs' lawyers were expected to start their cross-interpretation later in the day-the opportunity to question their credibility or to stab holes in their reports.

Jurors on Wednesday showed photos of Cassie's swollen Lippe after the attack. She said that she took the selfies away from the hotel on her overwhelming journey. She said she wore sunglasses because she had a blue eye. Once at home, she said, a friend of her saw her injuries and was “super annoyed” because “she saw me with black eyes and prior lips”.

Cassie said her girlfriend called the police, but she declined to reveal herself who had injured her police after the police so that they went. “At that moment I didn't want to hurt him like that,” she said. “I wasn't ready.”

She also said that Combs continued to write her an SMS after leaving the hotel. She said he claimed that the police were being arrested. And when she refused to accept his calls, Combs told her that if she did not pick up the phone, he would never speak to her again. she said.

Shortly after the hotel attack, jurors were shown pictures by Cassie and Combs at a film premier. Cassie described bruises on her body that were visible in the photos and said that she could not cover up all the damage with make -up. She wore dark sunglasses to cover her blue eye.

During her first testimony on Tuesday, she spent hours to tell grotesque and humiliating details of life with combs, including the many “freak -offs” over a decade until about 2017 or 2018.

She described that she had been put under pressure for several days of sexual encounters with paid sex workers, while Combs observed and gave instructions. She also said that she was struggled several times when she did things that abused him – as if she was wrong.

The “freak-offs” took place in private, often in dark hotel rooms, in contrast to Combs' very public white parties in the Hamptons, which attracted the A-list celebrities.

Cassie accused combs to obtain her submission by threatening to publicly publish videos with male sex workers, and she feared more violence if she rejected his demands.

Cassie met Combs in 2005, when she was 19 years old and just at the beginning of a career as a singer, model and actor. In 2006 she had a hit “Me & U” from an album published by Combs' Bad Boy Records.

Combs, who was 37 when they met, had their career early on and also became her friend for a decade.

Cassie left Combs's record label in 2019 and then sued him in 2023 and accused him of long -term physical and sexual abuse. The lawsuit was enclosed within hours, but dozens of similar legal claims followed, which triggered the criminal investigation against him.

She told the jury during her certificate on Tuesday that there were loving moments in her relationship, but that Combs was always controlling and often violent.

Cassie said she was 22 years old when Combs asked her for the first time to make a “Freak -Off” Suge encounter, with the first in his house in Los Angeles with a male stripper. It made her dirty and confused, but relieved that Combs was happy, she said.

“It was his imagination,” she said. “He checked the entire situation. He led her.”

Combs, 55, has been detained since September. He faces himself in prison for at least 15 years when he is convicted. The attempt is expected to take about two months.
