Diddy Trial Recap: Ex-Assistant Discusses Freak-Offs & Psychologist Explains Abusive Relationships


In this Diddy trial recap, a psychologist and Sean Combs' ex-assistant took the witness stand on the eighth day of the proceedings.

Jurors at Sean “Diddy” Combs ’ sex-trafficking trial heard testimony Wednesday (May 21) from a psychologist about abusive relationships and from one of the hip-hop mogul’s former assistants, who was granted legal immunity before he took the stand. Hughes is one of many witnesses already called by prosecutors, who claim Combs coerced longtime girlfriend Cassie Ventura and others into participating in drug-fueled sex shows known as “freak-offs.” Defense attorneys have said the events were consensual. Once one of the music industry’s most powerful men, Combs is accused of racketeering conspiracy (a so-called RICO charge), sex trafficking and violating a federal prostitution statute.
