Cassie informed Diddy that he treats her “like a hooker,” as revealed by court text messages
The prosecution also reviewed purported texts sent between the ex-couple after the attack at the hotel in 2016.
As the trial for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking case draws to a close, prosecutors are still trying to demonstrate the jury the alleged pattern of control the Bad Boy founder possessed over others. Today (June 20), prosecutors read purported text exchanges between Diddy and his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, in which the latter accused Diddy of treating her like a prostitute.
To tell the truth, you treat me like a hooker. Even though you have one, you always want to call one. For ten years, this hooker has been here,” the post said. Diddy reportedly said, “Wow.”
They also incriminated a May 2, 2017, discussion in which Cassie reportedly alluded to the infamous 2016 hotel assault and the beatings she endured from him during their relationship, according to NBC. To him, Ventura wrote, “That is possession, not love.” “You pull me down the hall by my hair as soon as you lose it.”
In response, Diddy allegedly said, “Everyone else sees you acting like a b**ch,” and “if I did that for another girl she would’ve been so nice and happy.” In addition, he expressed his wish that “I saved my time and effort” on her.
Cassie texted Diddy, saying, “I love our FO’s, when we both want it,” according to a text that the defense presented. The news organization claims that the defense has “taken every opportunity to show some element of dual consent when it comes to Combs going to bed with his girlfriends.”
Brendan Paul, Diddy’s former aide, explained his time working for the tycoon in his testimony today. Kid Cudi, Cassie, her mother, Dawn Richard, a former member of Danity Kane, Diddy’s former assistant David James, Israel Florez, a hotel security guard, several sex workers who worked for Diddy, special agent Gerard Gannon, clinical psychologist Dawn Hughes, and others have also testified in the trial thus far.
In addition to two charges of sex trafficking by force, deception, or coercion, the father of seven is also facing two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and one count of racketeering conspiracy. He was detained without bail at MDC Brooklyn after being apprehended in New York City on September 16, 2024. In July, the trial is anticipated to continue.
