Takeaways from Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial: Cassie Ventura’s mom and exotic dancer testify
- Regina Ventura, mother of Cassie Ventura, testified at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial on Tuesday about threats and demands made in 2011 in New London, Connecticut.
- The testimony followed Combs' anger over Cassie dating Kid Cudi, leading him to demand $20,000 from Ventura and threaten to release explicit videos of Cassie.
- Ventura testified that she secured a home equity loan to provide funds to Combs out of concern for her daughter's safety, while Cassie and others recounted Combs' coercive, drug-driven sexual gatherings referred to as "freak-offs."
- Supporters detailed Combs' drug use, threats, and violent behavior, including forcing assistants to drive him with handguns on his lap and orchestrating intimidation tactics.
- Combs, 55, has entered a not guilty plea, but if found guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking, he may be sentenced to a prison term ranging from 15 years to life, while his defense argues that the relationship was consensual.
