BREAKING NEWSCassie Ventura 'Relied on' Opiates to 'Feel Numb' After Sean 'Diddy' Combs' 'Freak Off' Parties, Singer Testifies
Cassie Ventura sued Sean 'Diddy' Combs for rape, trafficking and abuse in November 2023.
Cassie Ventura felt she needed drugs to survive Sean Diddy Combs' alleged abuse.
The "Long Way 2 Go" singer testified in Lower Manhattan's federal district court on Wednesday, May 14, about an "ongoing, off-and-on addiction to opiates" she developed while dating the music mogul — who is currently being tried for s-- trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution charges.
Cassie Ventura's 'Freak Off'-Fueled Drug Addiction
The singer is testifying in her ex Sean 'Diddy' Combs' trafficking trial.
Ventura alleged she would purposefully take opiates to "come down" from whatever drugs she had taken during Combs' "freak off" parties. She mentioned under oath that the disgraced rapper would also have them recover with IV fluids, massages and a meal prepared by a chef.
"Opiates made me feel numb, which is why I relied on them so heavily," she confessed, admitting to taking the pills in an effort to escape the reality of her life at the time.
How 'Freak Offs' Affected Cassie Ventura's Health
Cassie Ventura dated Sean 'Diddy' Combs on and off from 2007-2018.
While on the stand, Ventura was additionally asked whether she experienced any health problems as a result of the frequent sexual escapades Combs would make her "perform."
The dancer said she developed a lot of stomach issues due to the constant drug use and consistently had urinary tract infections.
At times, Combs would still make her participate in "freak offs" even while suffering from a UTI.
Proving how often she’d get the infection, Ventura claimed the common antibiotic treatment for UTIs Ciprofloxacin, or "Cipro," stopped being effective on her body.
Ventura alleged she would get "stinging and uncomfortable" sores on her tongue from "the friction in my mouth" during "freak offs" and from substance overuse.
The days-long s-- parties left her feeling "empty," she recalled in court.

Cassie Ventura Found a Friend in Escort Jules

While she despised going to the intimate clubs, Ventura developed a sort of friendship with Jules and considered him a "safe place," admitting she preferred having intercourse with him than with strangers.
"I was just uncomfortable," she testified. "I’m not into the person I’m in love with being with someone else. That’s not my thing."
