As Casandra Ventura described being attacked by Combs while making him eggs, she had spent 4 days describing the freak-off's he arranged with male prostitutes. 

It is clear she was forcibly coerced into setting up these vents with Combs. In 2016, she was beaten by Combs after trying to escape the freak-off site at the Intercontinental hotel in Los Angeles. In the video, you can see Combs punching, kicking, and dragging Ventura down the hallway in the hotel hallway. 

Dawn Richards testified that she frequently saw Combs act violently with Ventura. "He would punch her, choke her, slap her in the mouth. I saw him kick her. Punch her in the stomach. "

The shocking truth about her treatment is that he would constantly threaten both of them to remain silent and say nothing. If there was any enthusiasm, it was forced and only to appease Comb's fragile man-child ego.

Remember, about a year earlier the authorities raided his home and found more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant. In addition, they found a Louis Vuitton bag full of pill bottles with Ketamine, MDMA, and other items. 

It became a regular 'thing' for this "mogul" to humiliate people, threaten them with violence, and use prostitutes like he was Caligula. 

If there was any doubt Nero or Caligula came back from the dead, it was likely in Comb's non-existent soul.

How someone could treat their loved ones with violence like that and think it's normal is completely out of their morality. 

Imagine making breakfast and being attacked for no reason. This is the kind of crap Ventura was treated for years. It became a normal occurrence. 

This gem was extracted from the Washington Post:

Her accusations against Combs span the eight years they worked together, which included her time as a member of his group Danity Kane and later in his music trio Diddy-Dirty Money. Richard also claimed to have witnessed Combs get physically violent with other women, including his former partners Ventura and Kim Porter.

Combs denied the “series of false claims” in Richard’s lawsuit in a statement provided by his attorney. The statement said the singer is seeking “a payday — conveniently timed to coincide with her album release and press tour.” It also noted their continued work together during a “20-year friendship.”
