A shocking audio clip of Cassie Ventura threatening to kill a man over a leaked “freak-off” tape has sent ripples through Sean “Diddy’ Combs’ ongoing sex trafficking trial, raising questions about her role in the explosive case. The recording, played in court, captures a furious Cassie warning a male escort,
“I will kill you, hide you, cut you up, and put you in the dirt right now”
If he didn’t show her the compromising video he claimed to have seen. The audio surfaced as part of Diddy’s high-profile trial, which began on May 12, 2025, shedding light on a dark chapter in Cassie’s decade-long relationship with the music mogul.
In the recording, Cassie confronts a man named Sujit, who claimed to have seen a video from one of Diddy’s notorious “freak-off” parties—drug-fueled sex marathons involving male escorts. Her voice drips with fury as she demands,
“It’s my fucking life and I’ll kill you. If you don’t show me right now, I’ll kill you, and I’ll hide you, and I’ll cut you up and put you in the fucking dirt.”
She escalates further, warning,
“I’m gonna kill you, and then [Diddy’s] gonna kill you again,”
and chillingly adds,
“It’s not going to be blood on my hands. Someone else is going to do it.”
Calling Sujit her “brother,” she pleads for him to reveal what he saw, but her tone shifts to menace when he hesitates. The audio, recorded by Cassie herself, was played on May 16, 2025, during her second day of cross-examination by Diddy’s defense team, led by attorney Anna Estevao, to suggest she was a willing participant in the freak-offs, not a victim.
Cassie testified that she confronted Sujit under Diddy’s explicit orders, who instructed her not to let the man out of her sight until she got answers about the tape. She told the jury she felt “sick” at the thought of the video leaking and acted out of fear, as Diddy allegedly used such recordings as blackmail to control her career and life. The defense, however, pointed to the audio and explicit texts, like a 2009 message where Cassie wrote,
“I’m always ready to freak off,”
to argue she was complicit in the lifestyle. They also highlighted her $20 million settlement from a 2023 lawsuit against Diddy, settled within hours, to suggest financial motives. Cassie countered that she’d return the money to erase the trauma of the freak-offs, which she said left her with physical injuries, gastrointestinal issues, and an opioid addiction to numb the shame.
The audio’s leak triggered a courtroom uproar. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian, overseeing the trial that began May 12, 2025, warned of sanctions for violating evidence confidentiality rules. The clip, part of court files, likely spread online due to an evidence management error or unauthorized disclosure, though the judge vowed to investigate. On X, posts amplified the audio, with some users questioning Cassie’s victim narrative while others saw her threats as a desperate response to Diddy’s coercion.

Cassie’s four-day testimony detailed a harrowing relationship with Diddy from 2007 to 2018. She alleged relentless abuse, including a 2016 hotel beating captured on video, a 2018 rape after she tried to end their relationship, and being forced into “hundreds” of freak-offs with male escorts hired through agencies like Cowboys4Angels. These encounters, often fueled by drugs like MDMA and ketamine, left her needing IV fluids and battling health issues. She claimed Diddy threatened to release sex tapes to ruin her, once playing one on a 2013 flight to humiliate her. Cassie also accused him of controlling her appearance, discouraging her from looking “too Mexican” at parties, and stifling her music career.
Supporting witnesses bolstered her claims. Her mother, Regina Ventura, testified about wiring $20,000 to Diddy’s company in 2011 after he threatened to leak a sex tape, fearing for Cassie’s safety. Dawn Richard, a former Danity Kane singer, described seeing Diddy assault Cassie in 2009, with him later dismissing it as “passion” and warning that “people go missing” if they talk. A male escort, Shawn Dearing, nicknamed “The Punisher,” confirmed Diddy’s controlling behavior during freak-offs. At the same time, another, Jonathan Oddi, claimed he filmed a session for his own safety after Cassie appeared unconscious.
Diddy, 55, has been jailed in Brooklyn since his September 2024 arrest, facing charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and prostitution-related transportation, with a potential life sentence if convicted. Jurors have viewed graphic freak-off videos, sealed to the public, recovered from Diddy’s devices and a cellphone Cassie provided. Prosecutors allege he used his Bad Boy Entertainment empire to orchestrate these events, employing staff to facilitate coercion. The defense insists the relationship was consensual, pointing to loving texts and Cassie’s continued contact with Diddy post-breakup.
The trial, now in its sixth week, continues to captivate, with more witnesses, including an alleged victim named “Mia,” expected to testify. On June 19, 2025, a post on X by journalist Dennis Byron hinted at a second, unreleased audio of Cassie, though its contents remain unverified, adding fuel to the ongoing media storm. As the case nears jury deliberations, Cassie’s chilling threats and tearful testimony underscore the complex dynamics of abuse, power, and fear at the heart of this legal showdown.
