The ‘Me & U’ singer detailed on the witness stand how she was reportedly coerced into taking part in voyeuristic sexual experiences with other males, or “freak-offs.”
She said to the judge, “I remember my stomach falling to my butt,” according to BBC News. Just the anxiety and bewilderment… It was my 22nd birthday.
She claimed to have “loved him” and “wanted to make him happy” after complying even though she didn’t want to be involved.
According to Sky News, she said, “Freak-offs became a job where there was no space to do anything else but to recover and just try to feel normal again.”
She also mentioned that she had to recover from “having sex with a stranger for days,” drink, drugs, and lack of sleep.
One of the unsettling claims was that Combs forced her to refer to him as “Pop Pop,” a moniker she had previously given to her grandfather.
Ventura testified, “He asked me what I called my grandfather.” According to The Daily Beast, “I did it, but now I think it was disrespectful.”
