The jury in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ civil trial was shown a series of explicit images and videos on Wednesday, with 13 people allegedly attending “freak off” parties, according to singer and ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
The images, which were allegedly part of a graphic gallery submitted as evidence, were reviewed in court as part of the ongoing civil suit against the hip-hop mogul.
Cassie, who has publicly accused Combs of years of abuse and coercion, recognized herself in at least one of the photos.
“There is baby oil on me,” she informed the court. “I am standing there during a ‘freak-off’ with a candle and lubricant on the table.”
Throughout the trial, the term “freak off” has been used to describe Combs’ alleged sex parties, which, according to Cassie, included drugs, male escorts, and emotional manipulation.
Cassie testified that she initially participated to please Combs, but later felt compelled to comply.
“I felt pretty horrible about myself,” she told me. “I felt disgusting and humiliated.”
In the gallery, Johnathan Oddi was also identified, who claimed in a 2018 interview to have been Combs’ “sex slave.” The inclusion of his image was not contested at the hearing.
In addition to the visual evidence, text messages sent between Cassie and Combs were read aloud.
Cassie wrote in a 2009 message, “I’m always ready to freak out; it can happen at any time.” Other messages revealed moments of apparent affection, with Cassie describing Combs as “sweet.”
Violent Relationship
Despite these exchanges, Cassie described a toxic, frequently violent relationship. She testified that Combs physically assaulted her after discovering she was planning to attend Drake’s OVO Fest in Toronto.
“Sean came to my house and attempted to attack me. “I was thrown into the bed frame,” she explained.
Cassie also described the physical and emotional consequences of the “freak off” events. “I would take opiates. “I wanted to feel numb,” she admitted. “We would get massages and intravenous fluids. “The chef would cook us something.”
Combs has denied all claims of abuse, coercion, and sexual misconduct. His legal team has yet to state the newly presented evidence.
