Cassie Takes the Stand and the Freak Offs Get Graphic Day 2 of the Sean “Diddy” Combs federal sex trafficking trial brought shocking testimony and serious questions about the prosecution’s case. Host Pugs Moran returns to break down the drama, including every disturbing detail shared by the trial’s key witness: Cassie Ventura. The morning began with the cross-examination of male escort Daniel Phillip. Although he was called by the prosecution, his testimony backfired. He admitted he never saw Cassie under the influence during their encounters. In fact, he described a moment when Diddy stopped a “freak off” because Cassie seemed intoxicated. That statement undermines the prosecution’s claim that drugs were used to manipulate or coerce. Later in the day, Cassie took the stand. She is eight months pregnant and visibly emotional, which adds weight to her testimony. She accused Diddy of controlling every aspect of her life, including what she wore, where she went, and who she interacted with. More importantly, she said he orchestrated regular “freak offs”—multi-day sex parties involving male escorts, drugs, and extreme behavior. Her description was graphic. She talked about being forced to take MDMA, being filmed without consent, and being humiliated with degrading acts, including public urination and physical abuse. She claimed the events left her with bruises and emotional trauma. Although she initially agreed to participate, she said it became clear she was no longer in control. Tensions ran high in the courtroom. Cassie’s husband, Alex Fine, was nearly removed after the defense argued he posed a threat to their client. The judge denied the motion but ordered Fine to leave during graphic testimony. Meanwhile, Combs’ mother, Janice, was also in the gallery and witnessed the allegations unfold. The trial is only beginning, but the tone is already set. Cassie’s testimony is powerful, yet the defense is expected to challenge her credibility in the coming days. As the prosecution struggles to prove coercion beyond salacious headlines, the question remains: did he break the law, or is this one massive public takedown? Stay tuned for nightly coverage of Diddy or Didn’t He on Radio Misfits.
