From Page Six
Casandra “Cassie” Ventura’s mother took the stand at Sean “Diddy” Combs’ six-trafficking trial after her daughter’s emotional testimony last week, alleging she was once forced to pay the mogul $20,000.
“It was understood that he was going to need $20,000 to recoup money he had spent on her because he had been angry that she had had a relationship with Scott Mescudi,” Regina Ventura testified Tuesday. (Mescudi is rapper Kid Cudi’s real name. Cassie previously testified Combs was jealous of their romance.)
“He was angry that he had spent money on her and she had been with another person,” Regina claimed.
Cassie’s mom further claimed from Manhattan federal court Tuesday that she and her husband, Rodrick Ventura, took out a home equity loan to fulfill the payment that Combs allegedly demanded.
“I was scared for my daughter’s safety,” she admitted. Regina also revealed that she had become aware of the domestic violence her daughter had been dealing with and had even taken photos of her marks.
“I wanted to make sure we memorialized it,” the matriarch said on the stand of the alleged abuse.
Cassie, 38, testified last week that she often hesitated opening up fully to her mom about her issues.
She testified that despite struggling to tell her mother the truth, though, Regina had mother’s intuition.
According to the “Me & U” singer, her mother once called her to ask her if an online blind item that detailed an assault was about her.
“I didn’t tell my mom the truth because I was ashamed, but I also felt like at that point I didn’t know what was going to happen,” Cassie testified. “I didn’t want to put my mother in danger of knowing anything of that magnitude.”
The singer also claimed that, despite being cautious about what she shared, her mother eventually once called the police out of concern when she and Combs had a fight about her cheating on him.
Aside from Cassie’s mother, another person close to her — her ex-best friend, Kerry Morgan — testied.
The model, 39, took the stand Monday and claimed the Bad Boy Records founder once choked her and hit her with a wooden hanger in an effort to get her to reveal with whom Cassie was allegedly “cheating.”
The attack led to Combs paying Morgan $30,000 to keep her quiet and ended her 17-year-long friendship with the “Love a Loser” singer.
“She told me she thought I was milking it and was over-exaggerating,” the ex-best friend claimed of Cassie on the stand, adding that they “never spoke” again.

no way i would go back to a ninja who extorted my MAMA! She cheated on Ryan Leslie, Diddy, Cudi and I hope her husband knows she cheating on him too. she already testified she got with diddy one more time after hooking up with Alex who she cheated on Diddy with after he hired him to be her trainer.
Ain't no way in the world I'm paying a man who is abusing my daughter. What kind of f*ckery is this?
money makes you do strange things. Dwight Howard did the same thing to Royce Reed mama and she still went and spent the pandammy with him
It's all coming out in the wash.
I said morality be d@mned when it comes to money and fame. I should’ve tossed greed in there too. And Alex Fine better pay attn. She met him while she was still with Diddy too. I see Cassie doesn’t move on until she secures her next man. Not taking away from what happened to her but she has to suffer from a mental health condition or low IQ because ain’t no way. This too much!
She paid him. It wasn’t money making her do anything it was power. He had the power to make people do what he wanted. But this extortion is a minor the point. They are going to get him on coercing people to cross state lines to perform sex for his benefit.
What kinda mama is she?
@8:03 Yes I agree. Diddy must've had a very scary and threatening persona to get the mom to agree to pay. And she took out a loan! What did the dad have to say, I wonder?
She and Cassie's daddy took out a $20,000 loan to pay this asshump. That's how scared they were that he was going to hurt their baby. It was nothing more than a way to show everyone who loved her that he was in control of everything in her life. A sick power trip.
Puff's going down for transporting people across the state line for prostitution. That part of his case is already decided.
She shoulda went 2 the popos then
He did not need their money.
@10:43 With what proof? Maybe he could prove a little DV.
You know he had some of the popo on his payroll and probably some judges, too. How else did he got away with this madness for 20+ years? A lot of people got paid off but ain't nobody talkin' about that.
7:10 how did he get away with it? GREED.
Most of the victims admitted they were paid off. Cassie's former best friend testified that she accepted $30k to keep her mouth shut after Diddy beat her with a wooden coat hanger. Dawn Richard admitted she asked to work with Diddy again after watching him brutalize Cassie. the hotel worker testified that Diddy offered him money too he didnt accept but he didn't call the police either.
its the dollar dollar bills yall
Cheating 🤔
After her testimony is that concept even a reality 🤔
The graper n druggers runs his shop like a mob boss taxing Cassie really😩 unbelievable 🙊🙉🙈💀☠️👹👺👽🤡🤬💅🧌🧟🧛
Were the sex workers underage? If they weren't how does coming over the state line come into play? How is that trafficking?
With whatever he sent demanding 4a payout, 3:41
