Good morning.
It’s Tuesday, and in today’s courtroom, the heat just won’t die down.
We’re diving into the latest updates from Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trial, and trust me, the details are chilling. From shocking witness testimonies to disturbing threats, the courtroom has turned into a scene no Hollywood script could match.
Whether you’ve been loosely following the headlines or have no clue what’s going on, don’t worry.
Let’s get into it…
📌 Faces of Diddy’s sex workers revealed
As Week 2 kicks off, prosecutors dropped a bombshell. They shared a cache of documents and photos revealing the identities of several male sex workers allegedly hired by the music mogul for his infamous "freak-offs."
But, what's a freak-off?
According to prosecutors, it's a sex session involving Diddy, his girlfriend (often Cassie), and another man, usually recorded and, allegedly, non-consensual.
The court was shown images of these sex workers during Cassie’s testimony, with some identified by name, others only recognized by face.
Among the named:
Jules, reportedly present during the 2016 InterContinental Hotel incident; Jonathan Oddi, described as a “sex slave” involved in multiple encounters; Jake from L.A.; Craig from Miami; Brian, found via Craigslist in New York; and Skylar, linked to the escort service Cowboys 4 Angels.
The feds allege Diddy coerced his partners into these acts, raising serious questions about consent and abuse of power in celebrity circles.
📌 Cassie showed her injuries
New photos released Monday show Cassie Ventura, the “Me & U” singer, with brutal injuries allegedly inflicted by her ex-boyfriend Diddy.
We're talking black eyes, swollen lips, purple bruises across her back and legs, evidence that had been hidden in plain sight for years. Some images show her trying to mask the wounds with oversized sunglasses, makeup, or clever hairstyling, anything to conceal the pain.
These disturbing photos were shown to jurors in Diddy’s ongoing federal sex-trafficking and racketeering trial.
Ventura, now pregnant with her third child, testified in heartbreaking detail about a decade of abuse, including beatings, surveillance, and being forced into degrading sexual encounters, all allegedly orchestrated by Combs.
📌 A secret audio recording that was played during Diddy's trial surfaces
A YouTube video uploaded on May 18, 2025, by the ‘WhatIsMyStarWorth’ channel claimed just that, alleging that Prince named names and exposed what he saw at Diddy's infamous parties.
The video, styled like a Dateline episode, even quoted Prince supposedly saying, "I'm making this recording because I don't know who I can trust anymore."
But… it's fake.
This rumor exploded after the video claimed the audio was introduced in court, but the Inner City Press, which is actively covering the trial, cleared things up.
When someone asked if the audio was real, they replied bluntly: "No, there was no Prince audio played in the U.S. v. Sean Combs trial last week."
For context, Prince and Diddy did cross paths back in 2017 when Diddy revealed Prince refused to work with Biggie, as he wasn't fond of hip-hop at the time. Still, Diddy said, "He wound up not chasing me for [the samples]... I think he was proud of us."
📌 And a new eye witness of the abuse
In a courtroom testimony, singer and former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard recounted harrowing moments she says she witnessed between Diddy and his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
Taking the stand on May 16 and again on Monday, Richard claimed she saw Combs punch Ventura in the stomach during a private dinner in 2010, an event attended by celebrities like Usher, Ne-Yo, and Jimmy Iovine.
“She immediately bent over, he told her to leave,” Richard said. “No one intervened.”
The abuse allegedly continued in the car. When Cassie told Combs he embarrassed her, Richard testified, “He grabbed her by the neck and popped her, slapped her in the mouth.” She added that Combs threatened Ventura, saying, “Shut the f**k up,” and often told her, “He owned her.”
Richard also revisited an earlier incident in 2009, where she claimed Combs attacked Ventura with a skillet full of eggs. After witnessing it, she said Combs turned to her and threatened, “You could go missing, we could die.”
“I was shocked but also scared,” Richard said. “I couldn’t believe this would be the beginning of a journey for us.”
