Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the program. This episode,
we're getting back to the Cassie Ventura paperwork where she
accuses puff Daddy of all sorts of abuse. Section number six.
Miss Ventura tries to escape mister Colmb's abuse one oh four.
Anytime she tried to create distance between her and mister Combs,
he used his networks to find her and convince her
to return to his abuse. One oh five. On multiple occasions,
mister Combs sent his employees to learn Miss Ventura back
one O six. In twenty eleven, during a rough patch
in mister Colmbs and Miss Ventura's relationship, Miss Ventura had
a brief relationship with musician Kid Cuddy one oh seven.
When mister Combs returned from a trip, he demanded another
FO of Miss Ventura and she acquiesced one o eight.
During the FO, mister Combs found Miss Ventura's phone and
found emails between her and Kid Cuddy. Mister Combs became
enraged and proceeded to place annual corkscrew between his fingers
and lunge at Miss Ventura. One oh nine. Miss Ventura
ran away to stay at Kid Cutty's home to escape
mister Combs's wrath. Soon thereafter, one of mister combs staff
members told Miss Ventura that he needed to just talk
to mister Combs, even though mister Combs was enraged. One ten,
feeling like she could not escape mister Combs and his
network of enforcers, miss Ventura returned to mister Colmbs. He
hit her several times and then kicked her in the
back as she tried to run out the door. One eleven,
she went to her parents' home in Connecticut, where her
mother took pictures of the bruises mister Combs had left
on Miss Ventura's body. One twelve. In February twenty twelve,
during Paris Fashion Week, mister Combs told Miss Ventura that
he was going to blow up Kid Cutty's car and
that he wanted to ensure that Kid Cutty was home
with his friends When it happened. Around that time, Kid
Cutty's car exploded in his driveway. One thirteen, Miss Ventura
was terrified, and she again to fully comprehend what mister
Combs was both willing and able to do to those
he believed it slighted him. One fourteen. In two thousand
and five, miss Ventura spoke to a popular music manager
at an after party in a hotel sweet in Las Vegas.
Mister Colmbs saw her speaking to this manager and sternly
told her to step into the bedroom adjoining the suite.
In the bedroom, mister Colmbs beat Miss Ventura severely. He
ran from corner to corner of the room trying to
avoid mister Colmbs beating and kicking. When she tried to
lock herself in the bathroom, he pushed through and punched
and kicked her while she crawled up under the toilet.
Her screams were drowned out by the loud music playing
in the outside area of the hotel suite one fifteen.
When mister Colmbs had of security and assistant saw Miss
Ventura after the assault, they began to cry. Miss Ventura
had two black eyes, a burst and bruised lip, and
a huge welt on her forehead. One sixteen. Upon seeing
the result of his vicious attack, mister Combs immediately took
steps to conceal his wrongdoing. One seventeen, he forced Miss
Ventura to stay at his home in Holmby Hills along
with one of his sons. While there, mister Combs facetimed
Miss Ventura and stated, you gotta go up and put
more makeup on. My son can't see you like that.
One eighteen, she did put makeup on per mister colmbs demands.
Miss Ventura felt that she had no choice but to
obey her abuser. Even though security guards, assistants, and friends
saw the situation she was in, no one dared to
help her or speak up on her behalf. She therefore
had no choice but to remain subservient. One nineteen later,
in twenty fifteen, while shooting a movie in Cape Town,
South Africa, Miss Ventura began a flirtatious relationship with an actor.
She spent New Year's Eve with this actor, but mister
Combs soon found out. Mister Combs called the actor and
threatened them. The actor proceeded to call Miss Ventura and
tell her, you really need to call mister Combs. Twenty
In or around March twenty sixteen, during an fo at
the Intercontinental Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles, mister Colmbs
began extremely intoxicated and punched Miss Ventura in the face,
giving her a black eye. One twenty one, after she
fell asleep, Miss Ventura tried to leave the hotel room
but as she exited, mister Combs awoke and began screaming
at Miss Ventura. He followed her into the hallway of
the hotel while yelling at her. He grabbed at her,
then took a glass boss in the hallway and threw
him at her, causing glass to crash around them. As
she ran to the elevator to escape one twenty two,
she managed to get into the elevator and when she
got to the lobby, quickly took a cab to her apartment.
Upon realizing that her running away would cause mister Colmbs
to be even more angry or with her and completely
stuck in his vicious cycle of abuse, miss Ventura returned
to the hotel with the intention of apologizing for running
away from her abuser. When she returned, hotel security staff
urged her to go back into a cab and back
to her apartment, suggesting that they had seen the security
footage showing mister Combs beating Miss Ventura and throwing a
glass at her in the hotel hallway one twenty three.
Upon information and belief, mister Combs paid the Intercontinental Century
City fifty g's for the hallway security footage from that
evening one twenty four. After this, Miss Ventura left her
home in Comstock and went to hide away at a
friend's home in Florida. James Cruz, president of bad Boy Management,
tracked Miss Ventura down and told her that her single
would not be released if she did not answer mister
Combs's phone calls. One twenty five. A woman who worked
at Sony Music reached out to her with a similar
ultimatum concerning her record one twenty six. Incredibly, mister Combs
even convinced one of his attorneys to call Miss Ventura
at this time. This lawyer told Miss Ventura that it's
in your best interest to call mister Combs back one
twenty seven. Each time Ventura tried to run away, mister
Combs and his powerful network would force her back to him.
One twenty eight. Mister colmbs tight hold over her life
had irreparably damaged her friendships. Around twenty eighteen, when Miss
Ventura was with her friend Carrie Morgan in her house,
mister Combs used his key to Miss Ventura's home and
came in unannounced. He and Miss Morgan had an altercation,
during which mister Combs threw a hangar at miss Morgan
upon information and belief. The incident resulted in a settlement
between mister Combs and Miss Morgan, and Miss Ventura ended
up paying Miss Morgan additional funds in an attempt to
resolve the dispute between her close friend and her abusive
and controlling boyfriend. The relationship between Miss Ventura and Miss
Morgan was strained since this time one twenty nine. Seeing
the extreme measures mister Colmbs took to keep a tight
hold on Miss Ventura, an isolator from her support network,
and having experienced the repercussions of rejecting his demands, miss
Ventura filled that's saying no to mister Colmbs would cost
her something, her family, her friends, her career, even her life.
Section seven Mister Combs rapes Miss Ventura one thirty by
twenty seventeen. In twenty eighteen, Miss Ventura became desperate to
leave mister Colmbs and his abuse of her. She recognized
that if she stayed with him, she would never be
able to have a successful career or ever be physically
and mentally safe. She therefore became determined to completely break
away from mister Combs and discycle of abuse and made
concerted efforts to avoid them. One thirty one. In September
twenty eighteen, she joined mister Combs for a dinner at
an Italian restaurant in Malibu, California, for what she believed
would be a discussion about concluding their relationship for good.
One thirty two. After dinner, mister Combs and Miss Ventura
returned to miss Ventura's home, which was paid for by
mister Combs. One thirty three, Mister Colmbs forced himself into
her apart carment and tried to kiss Miss Ventura. She
told him to stop and attempted to push him away.
One thirty four. Mister Combs thenforcibly pulled off Miss Ventura's
clothing and unbuckled his belt. He proceeded to rate Miss
Ventura while she repeatedly said no and tried to push
him away. One thirty five. Soon thereafter, Miss Ventura took
steps to completely separate herself from her longtime abuser, including
by leaving the home that he paid for and returning
the car he purchased four one thirty six. Despite moving away,
miss Ventura's address was posted online in early twenty nineteen,
leading to fears for safety. One thirty seven Miss Ventura,
who was under immense duress during the months after mister
Combs raped her, took all steps possible to entirely remove
herself from her abuser's orbit, including by entering into contracts
to end her record deal with Bad Boy Entertainment. Section eight.
Mister Combe's sexual and physical abuse of Miss Ventura has
caused her lifelong life one thirty eight. As a result
of the immense trauma miss Ventura endured over a decade
with mister Colmbs, she has suffered and continues to suffer
from immense and emotional distress one thirty nine. Following her
escape from the cycle of abuse and sex trafficking she endured,
she struggled with the physical and mental manifestations of her
trauma one forty The birth of her two children, however,
allowed her a new lease on life and gave her purpose.
She credits her children with saving her from the trauma
that had consumed her over a decade of her life
one forty one, except for the months when she was
pregnant with her children, miss Ventura struggled with her addictions
of drugs and alcohol, addictions that were established and fueled
by mister Colmbs. She turned to substances to drown out
the memories of her abuse without being intoxicated. She suffered
from horrific nightmares of the four sexual acts that mister
Combs demanded she participate in during the regularly scheduled defoes,
and the physith beatings that she endured throughout the relationship.
She had difficulty eating or sleeping, and her relationships with
her family they suffered During this time. She frequently had
thoughts of ending her life. One forty two. To rebuild
her life and her career, Miss Ventura needed to completely
reinvent herself. She checked herself into inpatient treatment at a
rehabilitation center, where she first confronted the extent of the
trauma she lives with. She has required intensive therapy and
other medical care to recover from mister Colmb's abuse, and
she will forever live with the physical and psychological repercussions
of the over a decade of violence, fear, and exploitation
that she endured. One forty three. Although Miss Ventura was
unable to speak up against the years of abuse she
endured at the hands of mister Colmes, she has since
been able to rebuild her life and confront her trauma.
Thanks to the passage of the New York Adult Survivors
Act and California Sexual Abuse Accountability and of her UP Act,
she is now ready and able to also confront her
abuser and to hold him and those who enabled his
abuse accountable for their actions. First cause action sex trafficking
