Another day has wrapped here in New York City which means court will resume tomorrow. Today saw Casandra Ventura once again take the stand against Diddy among other key notable moments.
The Lowdown
In yet another day of shocking testimony against Diddy, Cassandra Ventura revealed on the stand today details about her relationship and situationship with none other than Kid Cudi.
In regards to that situation, Ventura Fine testified that she had to buy a burner phone for Cudi after Diddy ‘s actions and discovery of her ‘cheating’ on him came to light. Cudi whose real name is Scott Mescudi was reportedly involved with Cassie for some time beginning in 2011 after being introduced to Cassie through Combs. Cudi met Cassie under the pretense of a musical collaboration as Diddy evidently thought that would have been good for her career.
Though throughout this whole period, Cassie testified today that she was broken up with Combs.
Shocking text messages took centre stage today.
Beginning in 2013, Cassie sent a series of text messages that revealed she felt more like a side piece rather than a partner. This was during the time that Diddy’s late wife Kim Porter was in the picture, Porter also was the mother of at least four of Diddy ‘s children. The texts at least according to the defense reveal a Cassie that was ‘jealous’ of the fact she was never invited on family vacations or too their many get-togethers.
At one point during the day, the defense asked Cassie ‘You didn’t just want to be a part of someone’s sexual fantasy?” to which Cassie responded, “no.”
Most of the day was actually played by defense, who, spent most of the day attempting to paint Cassie as someone was more often than not jealous. She eventually testified that the reason she did not disclose this to Diddy herself was because that ‘was a dangerous idea’ and because Diddy was known to have a temper.
The infamous freak-offs heavily chronicled in yesterday’s testimony also once again took centre stage. According to Cassie’s testimony, she testified that the freak-offs continued even when the two were on a break from their romantic relationship.
Signing to Bad Boy records
Elsewhere in the testimony, Cassie told the court today that when she signed to Bad Boy she initially had a strictly platonic relationship with Diddy. It was a less than stellar performance on 106th & Park at the time that led to Diddy ‘extending his support.’
But fast forward to an e-mail sent in 2007, Ventura Fine then said Combs was ‘constantly weary of her.’ In the same e-mail she used words like spoiled brat to describe herself.
Further freak off details.
According to text messages dated December 2009, Ventura Fine told Combs at the time that she basically needed to feel like ‘this is my husband and and the only one who will see this side of me.’ She was referencing what they do in and out of the bed and what she was being asked to do in terms of being open minded.
She also testified that the freak offs became basically ‘a very integral part’ of the former couple’s relationship early on, but she was more interested in developing the relationship further. The defense during cross examination attempted to use this part as means to argue that Cassie was a key and willing player in the planning and productionns of the freak-off parties.
The day ultimately revealed what appears to be at least in part the strategy on display by Combs defense team. That while shocking and uncommon Combs is/was a ‘swinger’ and not a sexual abuser.
