Casandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura took the stand Tuesday (May 13) testifying that Diddy made her address him by the same nickname she used for her grandfather.
According to courtroom reporter Matthew Russell Lee, known as Inner City Press, the singer and model described an email exchange between her and the Bad Boy Entertainment founder. While testifying, Ventura revealed that she called Diddy ‘Pop Pop’ after the music mogul asked what name she used for her grandfather. Looking back, Ventura called the demand “disrespectful” even though she did use the nickname for Diddy.
The bombshell was just one of many shocking claims made in court this week, along with Ventura alleging that Diddy would become violent with her, particularly when told “no” about his sexual demands. Besides Diddy allegedly subjecting Ventura to “psychological abuse,” the 38-year-old recalled one incident where Diddy hit her while they were both on ecstasy. Ventura, who was previously signed to Bad Boy, was with Diddy from 2007 to 2018, before marrying fitness trainer Alex Fine the next year.
Also claimed during the trial was that Diddy arranged “freak-offs” with Ventura and brought in sex workers. One escort, Daniel Philip, testified that during a sexual encounter with the former couple, Ventura asked him to perform urolagnia on her.
In a transcript from Monday’s (May 12) proceedings, escort Daniel Philip stated that Ventura asked if he’d ever urinated on a client before, which he said he hadn’t. After allegedly asking him to do it, Philips claimed he did, though Ventura and Diddy supposedly stopped him when he began urinating in a way they didn’t want. Philips was instructed to release “a little at a time” and “leak” on the singer.
Diddy, who has denied all accusations against him in the case, could face life behind bars on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
