Freaks are not worth $20 million settlement

Watch: BBC's Nada Tawfik's text on how Diddy's lawyer uses freaks against Cassie

Cassie Ventura ended four days of explosive testimony in the criminal trial of her ex-boyfriend Sean Diddy's comb.

The singer told a New York court Tuesday that she would be called a "freak" if it means never attending his "humiliation" drug-crazy sex party.

Mrs. Ventura, the government’s star witness, faces intense inquiries from her decade of dating with the comb.

The combs face charges of blackmail, sex trafficking and transportation and can face prisons. He pleaded not guilty and denied the charges.

Mrs. Ventura's testimony reveals graphic details about her sexual life with the rapper, the physical violence she allegedly suffered and what she said was Posse that helped cover up his crimes.

She also talked about the fact that he gave her $20 million in settlement after the lawsuit was filed in November 2023, which included many charges.

The settlement only began the day after the lawsuit was filed, which is public knowledge, but the number was previously unknown. The defense appears to have tried to hover Mrs. Ventura's allegations back to the financial incentives when she testified, which took place all day Thursday and Friday.

Combs' attorney Anna Estevao appears to suggest that Mrs. Ventura was tied up with cash before filing the lawsuit. For example, the singer has just moved to her parents' home with her husband and children.

Mrs. Ventura delayed opposing this trait and later shared that she would swap everything for a life without a "freak discount", which she said would cause physical harm, sometimes lasting for days and kill her career as a singer.

“I will have agency and autonomy,” she said.

Combs' legal team also showed dozens of information to the jury between each stage between couples, believing that their dynamics are sometimes toxic but not criminal.

The defense also offered the last bombshell before Mrs. Ventura will leave the stance on Friday: The singer arranged another legal settlement in connection with her claim against the rap tycoon, for $10 million in damages.

Mrs. Ventura told the court she expected to receive about $10 million from the InterContinental Hotel.

The settlement is linked to the 2016 Intercontinental incident in Los Angeles, with virus security video showing a comb hitting, kicking and dragging Mrs. Ventura in the corridor. The footage was played in detail in court this week and is one of the most important evidence at the trial.

Although the day was almost over, the prosecutors squeezed the court among two more witnesses. One of them is Dawn Richard, a singer in the band Danity Kane - founded by Diddy on the MTV production band's show - has filed a lawsuit last year accusing him of physical abuse and retaining his income.

Ms. Richard testified in 2009 that she said she saw a comb attacking Mrs. Ventura at her mansion in Los Angeles.

“She fell,” Ms Richard told the court. "She is in the fetal position."

After the incident, she said the comb put her aside and told her that what she saw was "passion" and where he came from, "people would go missing" if they spoke.

U.S. Homeland Security Agent Yasin Binda also made a stand, introducing the court to the cash, drugs and baby oil seized from the rapper's hotel room when he was arrested in New York.

More testimony will be available to witnesses convened by prosecutors next week. Since the trial began, the Lower Manhattan Court has been a media circus, with audiences gathering among the little guys and camping overnight, glimpsing music tycoons, his family and celebrities testifying.
