Sean "Diddy" Combs trial live updates: Cassie Ventura testifies she told him "stay far away from me"

Pictures were displayed from the afterparty of the premiere. In the photo, Ventura is wearing a shorter dress, and a bruise could be seen on her right shin.

Ventura testified that she had a larger bruise on her thigh that couldn't be seen.

Testimony then turned to other escorts used during "freak offs," as the prosecutors showed additional photos and listed some names.

Ventura testified that Combs showed up at her apartment after the incident at the hotel.

"Yelling, again, banging," Ventura testified. "Just commotion."

She added it was "pretty normal."

She then went to the house of member of the security team named D Rock because she didn't know many people in Los Angeles, and D Rock and his wife were always there for her, Ventura testified.

Combs then came to D Rock's house, and she went with him back to Combs' home to prepare for her premiere.

Prosecutors showed a photo from the premiere which faintly shows a bruise on her shoulder. Ventura said she used makeup to cover up the bruises on her face, and wore a long dress to cover bruises on her legs.

When Ventura arrived back at home, a friend of hers was there and became very upset, she testified.

Ventura testified her friend called police who came to her apartment and started questioning her, but she wouldn't reveal who had attacked her.

"Just in that moment I didn't want to hurt him in that way," Ventura testified, adding she wasn't ready.

Combs continued to text Venutra, writing that if she doesn't pick up, she'll never hear his voice again and won't pick up her calls, Ventura testified.

"I'm getting arrested," he texted.

Ventura testified she was unaware of whether or not he was being arrested.

"Plugging my phone in and going to bed. You should do the same," Ventura replied.

Ventura testified she did not know whether or not police responded to the Intercontinental Hotel where the incident took place, as Combs claimed.

She testified she took a selfie after the incident, which showed her with a fat lip and wearing sunglasses. She said she wore the sunglasses to cover a black eye.

Combs continued to text her claiming police were at the hotel, asking for her to call him immediately, Ventura testified.

She testified she responded to him by saying was supposed to attend a premiere and now she had a black eye.

"You are sick for thinking it's OK to do what you've done," Ventura texted. "Please stay far away from me."

Testimony returned to the infamous video of Combs beating Ventura in a hotel hallway.

Ventura was shown a clip from the incident.

Ventura testified Combs was holding her phone in his hand during the incident. She testified he was yelling at her and threw something at her.

She then reviewed text messages he sent her after the incident, asking her to call him, and a text in which he said he was surrounded.

Ventura testified that she replied it should be OK.

From time to time, Ventura rubs her pregnant belly on the stand.

Prosecutors asked Ventura if she fought back against Combs.

She testified that she did fight back in the beginning, which would sometimes slow him down and make him stop.

Ventura testified sometimes her fighting back would make Combs more violent, and make him push her harder.

She testified that sometimes Combs would be surprised she fought back, or shocked, which would spur more anger and frustration on his part.

Prosecutors asked Ventura about her testimony Tuesday regarding Combs' concern about Suge Knight.

Ventura explained that guns were taken from a safe and they put them on.

Ventura also said Combs asked her to make sure that the escorts involved in the encounters. Ventura testified that she did so by telling them that she wasn't a cop, which is something she said Combs told her to say.

Cassie Ventura returned to the stand Wednesday.

Like Tuesday, she's wearing another turtleneck dress and a blazer. She took the blazer off as she began her testimony.

Prior to returning to Ventura returning to the stand, the judge was addressing a note from a juror, and talking about privacy screens for the viewing of videos.

Ventura's husband, who again is present, is expected to leave the courtroom during certain parts of the testimony today.

Dozens of women and men have filed lawsuits against Combs since 2023, alleging physical and sexual abuse.

Many of those accusers claim to have been drugged and then abused while incapacitated.

Most of those allegations, however, are not part of the criminal case.

In addition to Ventura, there are three other women expected to testify. They'll be testifying using pseudonyms. In the indictment, they're identified as Victim-1, Victim-2, and Victim-3.

Combs was arrested on Sept. 16, 2024 in New York City. The next day, he pleaded not guilty to federal sex trafficking, racketeering and prostitution charges.

In the indictment, prosecutors alleged Combs was part of a criminal organization that engaged in or attempted to engage in sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, obstruction of justice and other offenses since 2008.

Combs' legal team asked the judge to release him on bond, but the request was denied. Prosecutors argued at the time he "poses an ongoing and significant danger to the community, has repeatedly engaged in obstructive conduct, and presents a serious risk of flight."

He was later hit with additional charges in a superseding indictment. The 55-year-old has pleaded not guilty.

About three months before his arrest, Combs returned his key to New York City, honoring a request by Mayor Eric Adams after multiple people accused Combs of sexual abuse.

Combs' family, including his mother and children, have been present with him in the courtroom so far in the trial. On the first day, his daughters briefly left the courtroom during graphic testimony involving sex acts.

Ventura's husband and brother were on hand for her first day of testimony.

Ventura is a critical witness in the prosecution's case against Combs, who has been accused of sexually assaulting, trafficking and exploiting women for decades until his arrest on multiple charges last September. The music mogul could receive a lifetime prison sentence if convicted on all of charges.

Ventura is expected back on the stand Wednesday, and her testimony could last the entire week.

Here are some key moments from her first day of testimony.

Because Combs is being tried in federal court, no photos or videos from inside the courtroom are allowed.

The trial is not being live streamed or broadcast.

Sketch artists are allowed in the courtroom.

So far, jurors have heard from three witnesses.

Israel Florez was the very first witness to testify. He worked as a security manager at the hotel where Combs was caught on video beating Ventura and responded to the incident. He testified that, after the incident, Combs threw a stack of cash at him and told him not to tell anyone about it.

Daniel Phillip was the second witness. He told jurors he was paid to have sex with Ventura and did so while Combs watched. He also testified that he witnessed Combs throw a bottle at Ventura and drag her by her hair into another room.

On Tuesday, Ventura became the third witness to testify. She testified about how her relationship with Combs got started, how he suggested she start having sex with other men, that he could become violent, and that he provided drugs during the "freak offs," which could last for days.

Federal prosecutors have charged Sean "Diddy" Combs with several crimes.

He's been accused of sex trafficking as recently as last year, and using force, fraud or coercion to compel someone to engage in commercial sex acts.

Combs has been accused of transporting a woman and commercial sex workers in order to engage in prostitution.

He was initially charged with racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.

In total, he faces five charges, and potentially decades in prison if convicted.

Combs has pleaded not guilty, and denies committing any crimes.
