Cassie Ventura Testifies in Diddy's Sex Trafficking Trial

Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex trafficking trial took another turn Thursday with the cross-examination of his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. The defense's questioning focused on their decade-long relationship, exploring Ventura's feelings for Combs and the nature of their interactions. Text messages were presented to the court, allegedly showing Ventura's involvement in arranging "freak offs." Ventura confirmed to the court that the beginning of their relationship was "really fast and scary." When asked what made her fall in love with him, she said that as she got to know him, "what I thought was his real personality came out and I liked who he was." However, she denied a message suggesting that she told Combs she wanted to participate in "freak offs." The defense also brought up prior testimony where Ventura expressed concern about the potential career damage from the release of explicit videos. The defense intends to continue questioning Ventura today and tomorrow. The trial continues to unfold, revealing more details about the complex relationships and events at the heart of the case.
