Cassie Ventura said guns were used as a 'scare tactic' by Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
"I was handed one. We were going to a club [gig] in downtown L.A.," she recalled. "I just remember we took mushrooms, and I was, like, really high. I was handed the gun just to hold in my bag, but I was freaking out the whole time [that] it was going to go off."
