"He requested that I give him a nickname," Ventura said in court. "I told him I called my grandfather Pop Pop when he asked what I called him."
During the May 13 trial, the pop star clarified that she found the request from the founder of Bad Boy Records to be "weird at the time." She added that now she realises it’s just disrespectful, as per a report by Page Six.
Ventura testified while expecting baby No. 3. She described the horrifying abuse Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs allegedly inflicted on her in other parts of her gruelling testimony.
She testified on the witness stand, saying, "If I was down, he would kick me, stomp me on the head, knock me over, drag me, and bash me on my head."
According to Ventura, if she made the "wrong" facial expression, Combs would hit her. As she recalled how "violent" the music mogul would get during their relationship, Ventura started crying.
Ventura claimed that during the first six months of their relationship, Diddy confided in her about his voyeurism fantasy. She didn't want him to think she thought poorly of him, so she didn't object to the idea of freak offs, as per a report by Blast.
She frequently required a recuperation period because of her drug use and dehydration, and the longest "Freak-Off" lasted four days.
According to Ventura's testimony, Combs had complete control over her life, influencing her hairstyles and forcing her to get implants.
Cassie Ventura, who dated Diddy for ten years until 2018, explained how Diddy would perform with a third party, typically an escort, during "freak offs.”
The 38-year-old Cassie acknowledged feeling "horrible" about herself during the purported freak offs, which she said were caused by alcohol and illegal drugs, as per a report by the Blast.
She claimed that taking part in the purported freak-offs turned into her job and that she had no time for other activities.
Cassie also brought up the use of baby oil during the alleged orgies, saying that Diddy wanted everyone "glistening" and that's why they used oil every five minutes.
When authorities raided Diddy's house in March 2024, they found a significant amount of baby oil and lubricant, according to The Blast.
Cassie claimed that at Diddy's request, she would enter "a pool filled with baby oil" that the alleged freak offs owned. She described the incident in detail while on the witness stand, describing it as "too much."
She clarified that although she felt she had no control over her body, she was unable to say no in the moment.
Cassie stated on the stand that although she was anxious and perplexed, she also loved him and wanted to make him happy.
Her testimony is crucial in this case, as it could be one of the determining factors of Diddy's fate.

Less than twenty-four hours later, Combs settled the case with Ventura and refuted her allegations.
