Diddy Trial AI: Cassie Ventura Gives Shocking Testimony in Rapper’s Trial — Part Three
0:10
thank you your honor miss Ventura before the break we were talking about Craigslist do you remember that testimony yes in what cities did you
0:19
respond to ads on Craigslist in New York I think was the main at whose direction
0:24
did you respond to ads on Craigslist at Sean’s direction when you responded to
0:30
ads on Craigslist whose contact information did you use i used my own
0:35
did you use your own name no what name would you use jackie Star would you use
0:42
your own phone number i would have to use my own phone number yep you also mentioned back page what is back page
0:50
back page is a similar thing to Craigslist ads did you respond to ads on Backpage as well i did at whose
0:57
direction sea also before we broke you testified about a company called Cowboys
1:03
for Angels do you remember that testimony who typically communicated with Cowboys
1:09
for Angels i did i communicated with a gentleman named Garen who if anyone
1:15
directed you to communicate with Garen sean and how did you typically communicate with Garen usually through
1:22
texts occasionally a call when you would reach out to Garen how much notice would
1:27
you give him that you needed an escort it usually wasn’t that much notice it would be like somebody today what else
1:34
if anything would you tell Garen during those communications i’d tell him what city we were in
1:39
because we would basically send escorts based off the city we were in time location all of that who were some of
1:46
the most frequent escorts most frequently used would be Jules Dave
1:52
Johnny i think those were the main ones and we just looked at six photos of escorts are those all the escorts hired
1:59
for freakoffs or just some of them just some of them and we talked about travel
2:05
a little bit with Dave how if you know would travel be arranged for other escorts for other escorts I mean we
2:12
didn’t have a whole lot of them travel but there was one particular trip that we took to Eiza and one of Garn’s guys
2:18
flew out there so I think the travel was probably arranged by them when if ever did you book escort travel
2:26
occasionally like if we absolutely needed to it wasn’t all the time before
2:32
booking any escort travel what if any conversation would you have with Sean about booking travel i mean he would ask
2:38
me like what we were doing if we were flying somebody in who’s available and from there talk about how to get them
2:45
there if they weren’t in the town or they weren’t in the city what would he say about when you say he
2:50
talked about how to get them there what would he say do they need to fly in do they need to travel or are they here
2:57
just basic questions you also mentioned with respect to Dave that Shawn’s travel agent was sometimes involved do you
3:03
remember that what if any rule did you have in communicating with Shawn’s travel agent
3:09
i definitely reached out to his travel agent i believe we just acted as if it was a new employee or somebody that was
3:15
being interviewed or something when you say we acted who are you referring to sean and I and when you say acted as a
3:23
new employee who would you say was the new employee dave for instance if we were going to
3:29
have the travel agent book his travel or you know oh I have a new staff member we
3:35
have somebody new coming to visit for a meeting so that wouldn’t be speculated why was it necessary to tell the travel
3:42
agent that Dave for example was a new employee it was important to Shawn not to have his identity known speculation
3:50
that’s sustained what if any discussions did you have with Shawn about communicating with the travel agent can
3:56
you repeat that sorry it’s okay you were talking about reaching out to the travel
4:02
agent did you discuss the reach out with Shawn yes what did you talk about i mean
4:08
it was by his direction so we would discuss when they would arrive and when we would start you testified earlier
4:15
about using some drugs at freakoffs do you remember that testimony yep and specifically we talked about using
4:21
ecstasy at the first freakoff is that right yes did you use drugs at other
4:27
freakoffs yes how many all kinds let me
4:32
rephrase that question Miss Ventura how many freakoffs did you use drugs at oh
4:37
all of them why did you use drugs at every freak off for me it was
4:43
dissociative and numbing i couldn’t imagine myself doing any of that without having some sort of buffer or just way
4:50
to not feel it for what it really was which was emotionless and sex with a stranger that I didn’t want to be having
4:57
sex with who else besides you used drugs during freakoffs
5:02
shawn did and occasionally the escort but I wasn’t always clear on that were there any freakoffs where you did not
5:09
use drugs no not that I remember no you talked
5:14
earlier about using ecstasy at the first freakoff what other drugs if any did you use at freakoffs at freakoffs marijuana
5:22
ketamine GHB sometimes mushrooms just whatever the drug of choice was at that
5:27
point who provided the drugs for freakoffs sean when in relation to the
5:34
session starting would Shawn provide you with the drugs before sometimes an hour before sometimes before we even got
5:40
there somebody would drop drugs off to me where I was when you say somebody would drop drugs off to you who dropped
5:48
drugs off to you a staff member security assistant whoever was available when you
5:53
say staff whose staff dropped off drugs to you sean staff and whose security
5:59
dropped off drugs for you sean security how did you know how far in advance to take the drugs i would ask who would you
6:06
ask sean Miss Gavin can you please pull up government exhibit B244 for
6:11
identification for the court and the parties only if you could pull up page one and page two side by side miss
6:17

10:51

11:24
meet me what is your understanding of what I’m flying means he’s high and when
11:30
you say orange or yellow what does Shawn respond orange at the bottom of the
11:35
message what does Shawn say have a drink too miss Gavin we can take that down
11:41
miss Ventura if you didn’t take drugs before reaching the location of the freakoff at what point would you take
11:47
drugs when you reached the location immediately after or when I actually got with Shawn and relative to when an
11:53
escort would arrive when did you typically take drugs before in addition
11:58
to taking drugs at the beginning of the freakoff how often did you take drugs during the freakoff all the time how did
12:05
you get more drugs if we ran out we would call people friends or drug dealers or whoever at the time backing
12:12
up a little when you said you took drugs all the time throughout the freak off approximately how frequently would that
12:18
be during a freakoff or just Sorry no problem how long would the high lap
12:25
typically last if you took for example ecstasy like 3 to four hours and then would take
12:31
more because the sessions were quite long so if you took ecstasy would you typically need to take more ecstasy
12:38
every few hours when the high would run out yeah and when that would happen how
12:43
would you get more ecstasy to take we either had it or would have it brought to the room and who had the ecstasy in
12:50
the room sean and if more drugs needed to be brought to the room how would you
12:55
get more drugs either he would contact or I would make contact with his contact
13:00
to bring more who would you contact for additional drugs if anyone drug dealers
13:06
friends assistants whoever had at that point and when you say assistance whose assistance would be contacted sea when
13:14
you decided to take more drugs during the freakoff when the high was wearing off why did you take more drugs for me
13:20
to just remain high and not like be present with the experience why did you not want to be present with
13:28
the experience because it was something I hated doing circling back on bringing additional
13:34
drugs if you contacted the individuals you discussed were you present when anyone dropped off additional drugs
13:41
sometimes but it was a really brief thing who brought additional drugs to freakoffs
13:47
again friends whoever had the hookup of the drug of the moment so that could be a drug dealer could be a friend could be
13:54
an assistant anyone at Sea because I didn’t have any of those things you testified earlier that ecstasy is
14:00
typically a pressed pill do you remember that how does ecstasy make you feel it’s a
14:07
euphoric feeling i don’t really know what’s in it the pressed pill you’re
14:12
more sensitive you’re more aroused you even just feel more sexual I would say
14:18
you also mentioned MDMA what does MDMA look like it’s like a crystallized drug
14:24
and you can crush it up and turn it into powder and ingest it how would you take MDMA
14:29
put it in a drink usually how does MDMA make you feel very similar to ecstasy
14:35
just kind of euphoric everything feels light and nice and Yeah when if ever did
14:41
taking drugs make you feel sick often i used to get sick a lot
14:46
my stomach used to not agree well with ecstasy especially but MDMA as well how
14:52
often would you get sick from taking MDMA or ecstasy almost every time like before the actual high hit I would feel
14:59
like vomiting it was usually like a normal thing would you vomit or would you just feel nauseous i would actually
15:05
vomit yeah did Seawn know about the effects that ecstasy and MDMA had on you
15:12
how because he would see me in the bathroom or I would tell him so he would just know what if anything would Sean
15:18
say when you got sick from MDMA or ecstasy he didn’t say much but if we were in the freak off he would be
15:24
encouraging me to get up and continue on with it in that condition when you say continue on with it what are you
15:30
referring to continue the freak off continue the intercourse even though I felt like vomiting or that I was did you
15:38
want to continue intercourse when you felt like vomiting no besides ecstasy at MDMA what if any
15:46
other drugs were used at freakoffs i said cocaine GHB ketamine marijuana
15:52
mushrooms how does ketamine make you feel ketamine for me is dissociative
15:59
like you can be there but not mentally be there at all and how does GHB make you feel i would say that GHB makes you
16:07
feel kind of drunk a little bit tipsy how about cocaine how does cocaine make
16:12
you feel cocaine makes my heart race i was never a huge fan you also mentioned
16:18
mushrooms how do mushrooms make you feel they are psychedelics so you can see things i feel like the walls come alive
16:25
what does that mean the walls come alive everything has life to it when you’re taking those kind of drugs like
16:31
psychedelics have you ever used the phrase the turnup
16:36
yes what have you used that to refer to to drugs to party and of the drugs we’ve
16:43
discussed what are drugs that you would take to party ecstasy and MDMA would be
16:48
the main ones and how if at all did taking the drugs we just discussed
16:53
assist in sexual arousal they always did would it be okay to take a quick break
16:59
your honor is that okay of course it’s 4:00 let’s come back at 410 thank you
17:05
all rise for the jury
17:11
miss Ventura before we broke we were talking about using drugs at freakoffs do you remember that testimony yes and
17:18
you testified about sometimes contacting people if you ran out of drugs at freakoffs do you remember that yes when
17:25
you reached out to a contact for more drugs how did you know who to reach out to sean would tell me who to reach out
17:32
to exactly okay earlier you described the term session referring to all of the
17:38
sex acts with the escort do you remember that yes did the sessions follow a
17:43
similar pattern at most freakoffs yes and how did you know what the pattern
17:49
was it was established pretty early on in doing a freakoffs that Shawn enjoyed a lot of conversation or describing
17:57
usually started with oil and touching and went to oral sex and then eventually turned into intercourse it was like a
18:04
gradual process and is that the same pattern that was typically followed in the session
18:11
who decided what that pattern was sean did i I often would try to speed it up
18:18
um if anyone wasn’t really paying attention approximately how many sessions would you have with one escort
18:24
during a freakoff i would say at least two to three um but a freakoff could be
18:30
three to four different men and how was it determined how many sessions would be had with anyone escort it was based off
18:38
the high and just how things were moving did you ever want to have additional sessions with an escort no who if anyone
18:47
would ask you to have would tell you to have additional sessions with an escort objection form i can rephrase your honor
18:55
you may i’m sorry you may thank you judge miss Ventura you just testified
19:01
you did not want to have additional sessions with an escort i hated it did
19:06
you have any additional sessions with escorts during freakoffs sometimes yes why because
19:14
Shawn would want to do more go longer finish up strong as he would say you
19:20
also testified that there were sometimes three to four escorts at a freakoff do
19:25
you recall that yes were there any occasions where there was more than one escort present for one session yes
19:33
approximately how many times was that that I don’t know the exact number but
19:38
definitely more than once did you want more than one escort to be present at a session no it was already enough
19:45
managing one additional person and when more than one escort was present how did the sex acts proceed just it was very
19:54
like like porn what do you mean by that um it was just I was an object um being
20:02
heavily objectified by men in that scenario you talked about managing an additional escort what did you mean by
20:09
managing um just having to be the only female in the room like with the sexual
20:14
stuff it just having to entertain one more person
20:19
make sure one more person is satisfied um yeah during these sessions where was
20:25
Shawn physically relative to you in the escort if he wasn’t involved he would be like just outside the room kind of
20:32
covered up not seen you could just hear his voice or in the corner um it yeah he
20:40
was involved though he would be right next to us and when you say involved is that what are you referencing he would
20:47
be a part of this sex as you discussed earlier yeah with me if Shawn was in the
20:52
corner of the room what was he generally doing there he was generally masturbating and just talking what kind
20:59
of things did he say um he would just ask me like how how it felt like what it
21:06
looked like how it made me feel this is so awkward
21:12
you also mentioned sometimes Shawn would be outside the room mhm is that right
21:18
how frequently did that happen um I mean it varied no real number when Shawn was
21:24
outside the room during a freakoff what if any conversations did you have with Shawn before it started about where he
21:30
would be um we didn’t really um I guess on occasions he there was like a couple
21:38
of occasions where he said he wanted to watch from a different room or he would set up like my phone and his phone on a
21:44
FaceTime so that he could watch while he wasn’t like present in the actual room
21:49
so I was still expected to do the same thing even though he wasn’t there so on the occasion when Shawn was out of the
21:55
room what did you and the escort typically do um if he could see me if
22:01
Shawn could see me on the FaceTime I was still doing the same thing so talking and having this sexual encounter with
22:07
the escort but if he was just out of the room and not paying attention I would stop how would you know if Shawn was out
22:14
of the room and not paying attention i would just know that you can’t hear him or he didn’t call he’s not paying
22:20
attention during freakoffs what difficulty if any did escorts have in getting or maintaining
22:27
erections it was actually pretty frequent with people that we didn’t know well um yeah they they would express it
22:34
like it’s every time Shawn would talk it would throw them off or if he moved a candle or you know just was distracting
22:40
I guess and what did Shawn do when Escorts were having trouble with erections um he he would give them a pep
22:48
talk i don’t at the end they definitely didn’t get paid the normal amount i know
22:53
that how do you know that because he would tell me and he would tell them as well it wasn’t really a secret when you
23:00
say he who is he shawn were there any occasions when Shawn
23:05
offered the escorts drugs like Viagra yeah and who else besides escorts did
23:11
Shawn offer Viagra to he offered it to me before and what did he say about you
23:16
taking Viagra that it has the same effect on women just sensitivity did you take the Viagra
23:23
that he offered you i did and how did you feel
23:28
sensitive and engorged did you want to take the Viagra no I thought No I didn’t
23:36
when escorts were having trouble getting erect what if anything did you observe affected their inability to get erecked
23:43
like I said before just a distraction is seeing Shawn move around maybe just hearing his voice it’s quite
23:50
recognizable any distractions though really some of the men would actually just say that like having someone else
23:56
in the room was just disturbing for them it made them uncomfortable were there any distractions that you observed other
24:02
than Shawn’s voice um your honor I’m going to object at this point cumulative
24:08
and it’s straining relevance i’m sorry the last part of it I missed relevance
24:14
okay I’ll sustain the objection and you can maybe rephrase the question sure after the end of the session what
24:22
would you and Sean do next the end of an entire session or just one session
24:28
within a freakoff we would hang out and take more drugs with each other after a
24:33
session would you ever have sex with Shawn and where would you have sex with Shawn
24:39
after the session in the room outside of where the session was separate room you
24:44
mentioned earlier today that freakoffs were video recorded do you recall that testimony yep how were they recorded
24:54
um in the beginning they were on video cameras like the ones with the small tapes then eventually phones iPads
25:01
computers whose devices were used to record freakoffs um his devices and my
25:08
own sean’s and my own approximately when did freakoffs start being recorded
25:13
pretty early on within the first year who if anyone proposed recording freakoffs i wouldn’t say there was a
25:20
proposal just started happening how did it start happening sean brought out a
25:25
camera and set it up and that’s what happened did you want to be recorded no
25:31
i remember feeling insane at first and then um he explained to me that it’s for
25:36
him for afterwards so yeah did you ever watch the videos again yes
25:44
when would you watch the videos again um I would watch them with Sean afterwards when we usually when we were having
25:50
intercourse but I also if I saw them and I was on my own I was deleting them you
25:57
mentioned that some of these videos were recorded on some of your devices mhm do
26:02
you remember that yep why were your devices used because they were there no
26:08
real reason did you want these videos to be on your devices no if you saw videos
26:14
on your devices what did you do delete them who set up the recording equipment
26:19
during freakoffs sean if you wanted me to move it I would move it how would you know that he
26:26
wanted you to move it he would tell me whose idea was it to use your devices it
26:32
was Sean’s idea were you always successful why why did you delete the videos that you found on your devices
26:38
humiliating disgusting i never wanted anyone ever see me like that it was just
26:45
not okay for me and I felt like it was just tossed around like the idea of it was tossed around like it was nothing
26:52
like Yeah the idea of what was tossed around like nothing objectifying me and
26:58
putting me in these really compromising gross positions with strangers that I
27:04
just Yeah you also testified that Sean’s devices were sometimes used to record
27:09
Freakos do you remember that yes and what if anything did you ask Shawn to do
27:14
with the videos i would frequently ask him to delete videos because he had his assistants and staff members would have
27:21
access to his computers and phones to your knowledge did Shawn delete the videos that were on his devices i don’t
27:28
know were there times when you saw videos even after Shawn said he deleted them yes and I would delete them how
27:37
often did that happen on occasion it wasn’t all the time but enough missura
27:44
when if ever did you leave a freak off before it was over um when I was
27:49
literally just trying to go home what do you mean by that um there was an instance in Los Angeles where it got
27:56
violent and I chose to leave where were you in Los Angeles i was at the Sentry
28:02
City or sorry sorry Intercontinental Sentry City and what happened when you
28:07
chose to leave when I chose to leave I grabbed what I could and I got out and Sean followed me
28:14
into the hallway before the elevators and grabbed me up threw me on the ground kicked me tried to drag me back to the
28:22

top please how do you respond Miss Ventura i say “Baby I want to fo so bad
30:44
but I don’t want to myself up what am I to do?” What does FO stand for freak off
30:50
when you say “Baby I want to fo so bad but I don’t want to myself up.” What did
30:56
you mean by that i there’s a lot in that little line but I definitely didn’t want
31:02
to mess myself up my body up for my premiere by partying but I was telling
31:08
him that I wanted to have an FO with him and why did you tell him you wanted to have an FO even if you didn’t want to
31:15
mess up your body by partying honestly it was like a little bit of damage control ahead i I personally felt like
31:22
if I am sort of initiates or go along with creating this night that my
31:27
premiere wouldn’t be ruined i don’t know why what were you worried would happen at your premiere if you didn’t have a
31:34
freak off with Shawn before the premiere you would have just made it miserable for me um I never really had like the
31:42
chance to or the opportunity to enjoy the things that I had worked really hard on so it just felt like I was just
31:50
trying to play a balancing act a bit i think you mentioned damage control what
31:55
did you mean by damage control if I pleased him with a freakoff then my
32:00
premiere would run smoothly that’s how I looked at it and Miss Gavin can you pull that down miss Ventura directing your
32:07
attention to the text message on the bottom in green mhm can you blow it up
32:12
Miss Gavin miss Ventura what does this message say it says “I’m going to Boa
32:20
quickly to see Aaron because I didn’t get to see her.” And we can ask “Son I
32:25
don’t want you thinking I don’t want to.” When you say “I don’t want you thinking I don’t want to,” what are you
32:31
referring to to the freak off and why did you say that because I didn’t want
32:36
him thinking I didn’t want to that would be a problem why would that be a problem
32:43
because I knew that he wanted and you know I just I knew the nuanced conversation i understood it differently
32:50
so turning to the hotel I believe you testified earlier that this was at the Intercontinental in Sentry City yes okay
32:58
inside the hotel room at a high level can you describe to the jury what happened um inside the hotel room we
33:05
were having a freakoff and is it okay to say who was there yes jules was one of
33:11
the escorts and in the middle of it there was a lot of drinking there was a lot of partying but in the middle of it
33:18
I’m not sure what happened but I got hit by Shawn and I had a black eye and at that point all I could think about was
33:25
getting out of there safely i had my premiere and I didn’t want to mess it up so I locked at what point in a freakoff
33:31
did Shawn hit you it was like in between sessions so we weren’t in the room with
33:36
the escort was Jules still present in the overall hotel suite yes he was when
33:42
Shawn hit you yes after that happened after Shawn hit you what happened next
33:48
after he hit me um and I saw the result of it I just I knew I had to get out so
33:54

34:00
