Shocking claims about what Diddy was planning to do the day of arrest

Federal authorities found everything from drugs to baby oil in Sean 'Diddy' Combs Manhattan hotel room when he was arrested last September, suggesting he was planning one last hurrah of a 'freak-off' while he was still free. The hip hop mogul's sex trafficking trial entered its fifth day, which included the final cross-examination of ex-girlfriend and accuser Cassie Ventura.Special Agent Yasin Binda testified later Friday to what the feds discovered in room 2115 at the Park Hyatt Hotel on September 16, 2024, the day Combs was taken into custody following an indictment from a grand jury.Binda - who works for Homeland Security Investigations' human trafficking division - participated in searches related to the Combs investigation and was involved in coordinating logistics for his arrest last September at a Manhattan hotel. Baby oil - which has become intrinsically linked to the hip-hop mogul during the investigation - was found alongside bags of Astroglide lubricant inside a closet. 'This is one zip lock bag filled with Johnson's baby oil and you see another zip lock bag filled with Astroglide that was in the hallway closet,' she said of what she found in Diddy's room at the Park Hyde hotel on the night of the arrest. She also told the court that police found 'mood lighting' as well as drugs including ketamine and MDMA in his room. There was also pouches of pink stuff in a bottle of medication in the drawer which may have been pink cocaine. Special Agent Yasin Binda testified later Friday to what the feds discovered in room 2115 at the Park Hyatt Hotel on September 16, 2024, the day Combs was taken into custody following an indictment from a grand jury (pictured: Sean 'Diddy' Combs (left) and his defense team pass notes during the cross examination of Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura during Combs) Combs revealed in a 2018 interview with Vogue that his favorite party guest was Leonardo DiCaprio. Pictured: Combs (front center) and DiCaprio (back center) pose for pictures at Combs labor day party at his house in East Hampton, 1998 Diddy's homes in L.A. and Miami were raided by Homeland Security as part of the sex trafficking probe on the day of his arrest There was also a prescription for Klonopin found, written for the name 'Frank Black' which could be a pseudonym for Combs. Diddy had been in New York for 11 days before his arrest and prosecutors said he was 'waiting potentially for his arrest.'The mogul looked stressed as agent Binda spoke and put his hand on the back of his head.On Friday, Combs' attorneys concluded their cross-examination of his ex-girlfriend and main accuser Cassie Ventura.Anna Estevao resumed her cross examination with questions related to the March 2016 recording of Combs attacking Cassie at the elevator bank of a Los Angeles hotel, at one point garnering a hug from the rapper. In it, Combs can be seen pulling Cassie to the floor, kicking her and dragging her into a hotel hallway.Estevao had Cassie read aloud a text message in which she complained that Combs was out of control from drugs and alcohol that day.In the message, Cassie told Combs: 'I'm not a rag doll. I'm somebody's child.' Sean 'Diddy' Combs was spotted hanging out in Central Park the day before his arrest  Baby oil - which has become intrinsically linked to the hip-hop mogul during the investigation - was found alongside bags of Astroglide lubricant inside a closetAs the trial against the mogul entered its fifth day, more celebrity names came up - including Chris Brown and mystery NFL player Cassie said she had an affair with.Cassie says Combs was wary of her dating or giving attention to other men, even during breaks in their decade-long relationship.She says the hip-hop star took her phone from her on numerous occasions, including when he found out she was dating a football player and when she suspected her of dancing with the singer Chris Brown.Cassie didn't name the player and denied dancing with Brown.'He'd take my phone, my car, my watch when he was angry,' Cassie said of the music mogul.Diddy's team did their best to undermine the jury's sympathy for Cassie.They exposed more text messages where she declared her love for the rapper, despite the abuse she says she suffered, and prompted her to admit that she neither 'hated' the rapper when the alleged abuse happened, nor does she 'hate him' today.She confirmed that they continued their relationship even after he beat her, and even cheated on her now husband, Alex Fine, with Diddy. On Friday, Combs' attorneys concluded their cross-examination of his ex-girlfriend and main accuser Cassie Ventura (pictured left) Cassie Ventura leaves her home to head to the Diddy trial, Cassie was escorted down the stairs by a security guard with her pregnant belly on full show. It was the end of Ventura's testimony, which has to be stopped due to her being over eight months pregnantCassie, who is eight months pregnant, fought back with a calm and composed demeanor.She said Diddy raped her, was an out-of-control drug addict, and someone she felt she couldn't leave.Judge Arun Subramanian admonished the defense for continuing to file documents well into the night during the trial.'Letters have come in at 3am... I've come in early,' he said on Friday. 'This is a problem, we're running out of time to address issues'.Defense attorney Teny Geragos suggested to the judge Wednesday that they had to change today's gameplan on the fly.She told Judge Subramanian that the questioning of Cassie by prosecutors over two days 'has gone much differently than I expected. ... So we are kind of changing our strategy.'Agnifilo later told the judge that questioning Cassie about infidelities is important. 'Everybody knows that we are going to bring up infidelities, that we're going to want to bring up text messages of infidelities, and these text messages are often in colorful language,' he said. Ventura said Diddy raped her, was an out-of-control drug addict, and someone she felt she couldn't leave Sean 'Diddy' Combs drags ex-girlfriend Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura in a still image from a March 5, 2016 surveillance video taken in the hallway of a Los Angeles hotel, where a towel-clad Combs threw Ventura to the ground and began to kick her, which was entered as evidence in New York sex trafficking trialSubramanian also complained to lawyers during the 10-minute break that Diddy Estevao's cross examination has been interrupted too often by disputes over evidence.The judge has tried to clear the way for jurors to be brought in on time for what was hoped to be Cassie's last day on the witness stand.In the video, Combs says he has 'God in my heart.' The judge watched it and then decided the argument was moot because the defense agreed not to show the video to the jury.One item in dispute: A recording Combs made when he went to rehabilitation after a March 2016 attack on Cassie at the elevator bank of a Los Angeles hotel.Prosecutor Emily Johnson said the video showed Combs 'wandering through nature' as he spoke of 'religion and God.' She described it as an effort by Combs' lawyers to seek sympathy from the jury.Jurors heard a recording of a distressed Cassie screaming at a friend who said he had seen a video of her performing sex acts.In the recording, made by Cassie in 2013, the man claimed to have the video on his phone. Cassie is heard pleading to see the video and then threatening to kill him if it became public.'I've never killed anyone in my life, but I will kill you,' Cassie told the man, punctuating her threats with profanity. Judge Arun Subramanian (pictured) expressed his frustration with both legal teams throughout the day Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura cries on the stand during redirect as Judge Arun Subramanian presides during Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trialCassie acknowledged in her testimony that Combs subsequently made efforts to keep the video private.She later testified that she broke up with Diddy for good in August 2018 after she saw a photo of him with another woman he'd been dating for the last few years of their decade-long relationship.'I just don't trust anymore. That last shot put the nail in the coffin,' Casse texted Combs, referring to the photo of Combs with a woman identified in court as Gina.'I promised myself I wouldn't be with you anymore if you did that to me again,' Cassie wrote, telling Combs 'you lied to me' and 'she never went away.'Soon after, Cassie said, she started dating her now husband, Alex Fine.Gina Huynh, who says she dated the music executive for five years, described in a resurfaced interview from 2019 a time at which he allegedly became violent with her.Ventura refused to say she hated the mogul, even after everything they'd been through. 'I don't hate him,' Cassie replied when asked if she hated Diddy Cassie Ventura has admitted that she and Sean 'Diddy' Combs (pictured together in 2017) had sex with Jonathan Oddi (pictured), the porn star who opened fire on Donald Trump's Doral Miami resort When asked if she still had love for Combs, she replied: 'I have love for the past and what it was.'Ventura also admitted that she and Sean 'Diddy' Combs had sexual relations with the gunman who opened fire on Donald Trump's Doral Miami resort.The R&B singer was questioned about her relationship with Jonathan Oddi, a former porn star who fired shots at Trump's Doral Miami resort in 2018 and claimed during his arrest that he was a 'sex slave' for Combs.Ventura told the court that she had met Oddi multiple times and even once feared that he had secretly recorded video of one of their 'freak-off' sex parties.She testified that when she informed Combs about the video that he was concerned about it getting out and vowed to 'take care of it'.Ventura said she 'didn't trust' Oddi and 'believes' their relationship ended after she caught him allegedly taping the sex session.Oddi claimed during his arrest in 2018 that 'I had sex with Cassie and Sean' and that Combs had asked him to sign an NDA agreement. His allegations were immediately dismissed as farfetched conspiracy theories.But Daily Mail exclusively revealed last week that Oddi signed a non-disclosure agreement with Combs in exchange for $5 million. Oddi is pictured during his interview with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement following his arrest over the 2018 shootingAs the prosecution tried to add context to some of the exchanges seen by the jury during cross-examination, Cassie broke down describing Diddy's alleged abuse.'Worthless, just like dirt, like I didn't matter to him, like I was nothing, absolutely nothing,' she said of how he made her feel.Cassie also said she canceled her tour after settling with Diddy becasue she was 'overwhelmed.''I couldn't continue doing that at that point,' she told the court.'I'd give that money back if I never had to have Freak Offs,' Cassie said of the $20M settlement.'I would have agency and autonomy. I woldn't have had to work so hard to get it back.'Cassie said she was initially open to the idea of engaging in the drug-fueled sex marathons because she wanted to make Combs happy and spend time with him, but she grew weary of them as the years went on.'I worried for my safety. I worried for my career,' she told jurors, and she worried Combs wouldn't love her anymore. Alex Fine, husband of Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura, walks outside the federal court Diddy at one point blew kisses to his mother Janice during Friday's proceedingsShe ended her testimony announcing she expects to receive a $10 million settlement from the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles, where she was assaulted by Combs in 2016.Security camera footage aired last year on CNN shows the hip-hop mogul hitting and kicking Cassie, knocking her to the floor as she attempted to leave a 'freak off' sexual encounter at the hotel.Cassie revealed the figure during questioning by Combs' lawyer in a phase of her testimony known as re-cross. She said the figure was an estimate and that the settlement was reached recently. She didn't disclose the nature of her claim against the hotel.Combs remained animated while watching the trial move along, blowing kisses to his mother and attempting to make eye contact with the jury.He maintains that all the sex he's accused of forcing was in fact consensual - and that he is being unfairly vilified for things that happened willingly years ago.Dawn Richard, a member of the Diddy-created group Danity Kane, is expected to testify next during his trial.Richard claims the disgraced Bad Boy mogul sexually assaulted her, deprived her of food and sleep and refused to pay her adequately. Her case is among dozens of claims filed against Combs in various states.Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo objected to Richard testifying.Prosecutors say her testimony is relevant because she witnessed Diddy being violent towards Cassie.They said 'Richard has flown across the country to be here today.'Richard gave evidence about seeing Diddy abuse Ventura 'often'.Diddy looked at Richards as she walked to the stand wearing a yellow on white checkered suit.She was signed to Diddy's Bad Boy Records as part of Diddy Dirty Money and Dannity Kane, and testified that she saw Diddy attack his then-girlfriend in 2009.'He came down the stairs screaming, belligerent, asking where his food was and hit her over the head and hit and kicked her on the ground,' she said.Richards was asked if she saw Diddy abuse Ventura on any other occasions. She replied yes, 'often'.Fellow former Danity Kane member Aubrey O'Day is also expected to take the stand.Prosecutors allege that Combs used his fame and fortune to orchestrate an empire of exploitation, coercing women into abusive sex parties. His lawyers argue that all the sexual acts were consensual, and although he could be violent, he never veered into sex trafficking and racketeering. Combs has pleaded not guilty to federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges. His defense says that, although he could be violent, nothing he did amounted to a criminal enterprise. Combs insists all the sex was consensual.
