In court, the singer detailed the abuse she endured while in an on-off relationship with Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
As OK! reported, the "Me & U" crooner revealed during the trial that she felt she had to participate in Combs' s-- parties, known as "freak offs," in order to please him and avoid him retaliating. Since Ventura didn't actually want to have sexual relationships with other people, she would take drugs during the gatherings, eventually leading her to become addicted.
"Opiates made me feel numb, which is why I relied on them so heavily," she explained in court.
Ventura also commented on the physical attacks she suffered from the rapper, which happened "a lot."
Combs would "grab me up. Push me down. Hit me in the side of the head. Kick me. You name it," she claimed.
One violent instance from 2016 was captured on hotel surveillance footage.
