Singer Cassie Ventura released photos of her bruised body and bloody wounds as evidence of Diddy's repeated abuse.
Two close-up photos of Cassie Ventura's eyebrow were torn in 2013. She said this was from an incident when Diddy assaulted her, and she slammed her face into the corner of the bed. She testified that Diddy became angry because she had overslept and had not packed her suitcase for their trip.
Cassie wore sunglasses to cover a bruise under her eyebrow as she tried on clothes at Diddy's house, preparing for an event. Cassie said the rapper was temperamental and would abuse her when he was unhappy or jealous. During four days of testimony in a Manhattan courthouse last week, Cassie accused Diddy of hitting her numerous times during their 11-year relationship from 2007 to 2018.
In a 2011 photo taken by her mother, Cassie showed bruises on her back.
A photo of the singer's leg injury was also shown to the jury. In addition, Cassie provided a photo of her stashing a knife in her door for self-defense in case Diddy showed up in 2018 - the final stage of their tumultuous 11-year relationship. In court, the ex-girlfriend of the "rap mogul" said that not only was she abused, but she was also forced to participate in hundreds of wild sex parties, where she was forced to have sex with male escorts while the rapper watched, directed, masturbated, and recorded. Cassie kept quiet about what she had to endure for many years and first spoke out in 2023 in a lawsuit against Diddy for violence and rape.
During the trial on May 19, prosecutors also revealed photos of Diddy's room at a New York hotel on September 16, 2024, when police arrested the famous rapper on charges of sex trafficking by force, extortion, and prostitution. Police seized several bottles of baby oil in the room along with lubricant. Cassie said that Diddy always asked sex party participants to rub baby oil all over their bodies for a massage before entering. During a raid on Diddy’s two mansions in March 2024, federal police also found more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil.
Two packets of methamphetamine (a pink powder) were seized at the scene. Prosecutors wrote in the indictment that the drug was often used at Diddy’s wild parties. Cassie confirmed this in court and said she and Diddy had used drugs.
Two bags of cocaine (a pink powder) were seized at the scene. Prosecutors wrote in the indictment that cocaine was often used at Diddy's wild parties. Cassie confirmed this in court and said she and Diddy had used drugs on multiple occasions.
Police also found an iPhone, a Louis Vuitton bag, two bottles of lubricant on the nightstand in the bedroom, and a wallet with $9,000 in cash. Diddy's trial is taking place in a Manhattan courthouse. This week, witnesses including singer Dawn Richard - a member of the band Danity Kane that Diddy used to form - and Kerry Morgan - Cassie's former best friend - all testified that they witnessed the rapper brutally beating Cassie Ventura on multiple occasions. Both also accused Diddy of abusing them.
