Defense lawyers for jailed music mogul Sean Combs played shocking audio of a phone call in which Cassie Ventura threatened to kill a man.
So far, Cassie’s testimony during Combs’ sex trafficking trial has focused on their swinger lifestyle with dozens of male escorts.
Cassie portrayed herself to be an innocent victim, but the defense proved she is a calculating, aggressive woman who was not afraid of a man or woman.
During cross-examination on Friday, the defense played a 2014 audio recording for the jury.
In the audio, Cassie is heard threatening to kill a man and hide his body so he will never be found.
“I will kill you if you don’t show me right now,” Cassie tells the unidentified man. The man had allegedly told Cassie he was in possession of one of her “freak-off” videos. Sean Combs had a tendency to send the graphic videos to close friends.
In the audio, the man would not tell her about the contents of the video.
“I will kill you and hide you,” Cassie shouted. She added that she would bury the man “in the f—ing dirt.”
At one point, Cassie referred to the man as her “brother,” indicating they had a close relationship.
“I’m going to f—ing kill you. You’re f—ing with me,” Cassie said. “I’ve never killed anybody in my life, but I will kill you,” she threatened. “It’s not going to be blood on my hands. Someone else is going to do it.”
Under cross-examination, defense attorney Anna Estevao asked Cassie whether Combs kept the freak-off videos from leaking. Estevao said that Combs had once “spent a significant amount of money” to make sure a certain video did not get released. But Cassie claimed she was not aware of Combs paying money to keep a video from leaking.
Cassie is known to use social media to threaten people publicly. She once threatened to attack a beloved blogger if she saw her “lingering in an Atlanta club like a creeper.”
The blogger had heard rumors about Cassie, so she took Cassie’s threats to heart.
While attending a party at R&B singer Monica’s house, A-list rapper Ludacris warned the blogger to stay inside and to hire photographers to shoot Atlanta events for her.
