American singer, Britney Spears was dragged into Cassie Ventura’s testimony on Thursday, May 15, as she spoke about her 21st birthday party, saying Diddy brought several stars to celebrate her before their platonic relationship turned romantic.
The music mogul reportedly watched on as a pregnant Cassie described being physically and emotionally abused throughout their 10-year relationship.
In humiliating detail, she recounted a turbulent relationship with Combs that she said was consumed by violence and his obsession with a form of voyeurism where ‘he was controlling the whole situation.’
That included directing her encounters with male s3x workers right down to the copious amounts of baby oil she applied to maintain the ‘glistening’ look he desired – as many as 10 large bottles a session.
Combs’ defense says he is guilty of domestic violence, but not of sex trafficking or racketeering, and that the government is targeting him for his sexual preferences.
Cassie told the jury that Diddy brought pop star Britney Spears to her 21st birthday party in Las Vegas.
Diddy also allegedly brought singer-songwriter Dallas Austin to Cassie’s party.
Cassie previously testified that Diddy kissed her during this party, leaving her confused as their relationship had been platonic until then.
When testifying about infidelities and jealousies during her decade-long relationship with Combs, Ventura casually dropped another A-list star’s name.
“Combs suspected you were in a relationship with someone else. Who was that?” asked defense attorney Anne Estevao.
“Michael B. Jordan,” Ventura responded, referring to the “Creed” star.
Ventura also used one singing icon’s death as a way to signpost a near-tragedy suffered by Combs.
“Do you remember when Mr. Combs overdosed in Feb 2012?” Estevao asked.
“Was that around the time Whitney Houston died? I believe so,” Ventura replied.
Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to charges including s3x trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.
He could face life in prison if convicted.
