FREAK-OFF MARATHON Cassie Ventura says her longest Diddy encounter lasted for 4 days

“The freak offs became a job,” she said, noting that other encounters took anywhere from 36 or 48 hours. The marathon sessions frequently required periods of recovery from dehydration, fatigue and drug use, she said.

She noted that the rap star paid her rent at apartments close to his residences in New York and later Los Angeles, had his own sets of keys and made “a lot of unannounced visits.”

Cassie said that as a birthday present, Combs rented her a Manhattan apartment a few blocks from where he lived. Another apartment Combs rented for Cassie in Los Angeles was just a three-minute drive from his home and he’d sometimes drive a golf cart to get from one residence to the other.

Jealousy was cited during opening statements Monday as a source of much of the conflict between Combs and Cassie. Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson elicited from Cassie that she and Combs were seeing other people at times.

In the beginning, Cassie said, she was “insanely jealous.” She said that resulted from being “super young.”

“I didn’t get that he was him. As he would say, ‘I’m Puff Daddy. Puff Daddy has many rules. Likes the company of women,’” she recalled.

She said that as time passed, she came to believe “more often than not” that they were in a monogamous relationship. “He expected that of me so I assumed it was the same.”

She said Combs told her: “I’m not dealing with anyone else. It’s just us.”

She said Combs would get abusive over the smallest perceived slights — if she wasn’t smiling at him the way he wanted, or if he thought she was acting like a brat.

“You make the wrong face and the next thing I knew I was getting hit in the face,” she said.

Cassie said that if she didn’t respond to his call right away, there would be incessant calls until she did and Combs’ staff, including security workers, would join in the pursuit.

The numerous photographs included a photograph of the boat in Miami. Another photograph depicted the fledgling couple at a strip club in New York on Halloween 2007, shortly after the trip to Miami. Another picture showed them in the back of a car at the beginning of their relationship, Combs arm wrapped around her.

“I was just enamored by him. We were just having a good time. It was really fun, at this point,” she said.

Cassie noted that, early on in their relationship, they weren’t public about it. She said Combs had expressed concerns about perceptions, given that his company was also producing her music.
