SEAN "Diddy" Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura burst into tears moments before concluding her disturbing testimony on day five of Combs' federal sex trafficking trial.
In a heartbreaking moment on the stand, Cassie said she would trade her $20 million settlement from Combs if it meant she never had to endure his drug-fueled sex parties through their 10-year relationship.

A very pregnant Cassie underwent her final day of grueling cross-examination on Friday as the defense tried to prove she willingly engaged in Combs' sick orgies called "freak-offs."
She burst into tears as she recalled a male escort urinating on her and Combs allegedly beating her during the twisted parties where he forced her to have sex with other men while he watched.
When pressed on the stand about the money she received from her lawsuit against Combs, Cassie wiped away tears as she said, "I'd give that money back if I never had to have freak-offs.
"If I never had to have freak-offs, I would have agency and autonomy. I wouldn't have had to work so hard to get it back.'
Cassie testified that she ended her relationship with Combs in 2018, but that the two stayed in touch even after he allegedly raped her while she was dating her now-husband Alex Fine.
Combs reached out to congratulate on her pregnancy in 2019 and told her that she was one of the "greatest women in the world."
The court saw one of his final texts to Cassie from March 2020, which read, "One day I hope you forgive me.
"We're honestly lucky to be alive. We went hard. Please know I send this message with all respect to your marriage. Love.'
Cassie testified that she never participated in another "freak-off," which had occurred weekly for years, after they split.

Cassie revealed she was paid $20 million to settle her lawsuit against Combs
Ex-hotel security guard Israel Florez testified on Monday about being offered cash after Combs attacked Cassie in 2016
Male escort Daniel Phillip took the stand to speak about how he was paid to have sex with Cassie in front of Combs
Combs turned down a plea deal days before jury selection got underway
CASSIE'S TESTIMONY
Over her first two days of questioning by prosecutors, Cassie recounted details of multiple "freak-offs" and violent episodes.
Cassie told the court Combs made incessant demands for orgies, which would last for up to four days as she took drugs including cocaine, ecstasy, and mushrooms to stay awake.
She said she was terrified to refuse Combs' orders out of fear he would hurt her and share videos of the "freak-offs."
An audio recording of Cassie threatening a man she suspected of having a "freak-off" video was played for the jury on Friday, where Cassie said, "I'm going to kill you, and then he's gonna kill you again."
Combs faces five criminal counts, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The rapper has pleaded not guilty to all charges as prosecutors continue to paint him as the ringleader of a criminal enterprise.
He has denied all allegations against him and insists he's only engaged in consensual sex.

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs denied release from jail to await sentencing
Combs has been behind bars since his September arrest. He faced federal charges of coercing girlfriends into having drug-fuelled sex marathons with male sex workers while he watched and filmed them. He was acquitted last month of the top charges – racketeering and sex trafficking – while being convicted of two counts of a prostitution-related offence. The conviction carries the potential for up to 10 years in prison. But there are complicated federal guidelines for calculating sentences in any given case, and prosecutors and Combs' lawyers disagree substantially on how the guidelines come out for his case. The guidelines are not mandatory, and Judge Arun Subramanian will have wide latitude in deciding Combs' punishment. The Bad Boy Records founder, now 55, was for decades a huge figure in pop culture. A Grammy-winning hip hop artist and entrepreneur with a flair for finding and launching big talents, he presided over a business empire that ranged from fashion to reality TV. Prosecutors claimed he used his fame, wealth and violence to force and manipulate two now-ex-girlfriends into days-long, drugged-up sexual performances he called 'freak-offs' or 'hotel nights'. His lawyers argued that the government tried to criminalise consensual, if unconventional, sexual tastes that played out in complicated relationships. The defence acknowledged that Combs had violent outbursts but said nothing he did came amounted to the crimes with which he was charged. Since the verdict, his lawyers have repeatedly renewed their efforts to get him out on bail until his sentencing, set for October. They have argued that the acquittals undercut the rationale for holding him, and they have pointed to other people who were released before sentencing on similar convictions. Defence lawyer Marc Agnifilo suggested in a court filing that Combs was the United States' 'only person in jail for hiring adult male escorts for him and his girlfriend'. The defence's most recent proposal included a 50 million-dollar (£37.6 million) bond and travel restrictions and expressed openness to adding on house arrest at his Miami home, electronic monitoring, private security guards and other requirements. Prosecutors opposed releasing Combs. They wrote that his 'extensive history of violence — and his continued attempt to minimise his recent violent conduct – demonstrates his dangerousness and that he is not amendable to supervision'.
