Summary

Day 7 of Sean "Diddy" Combs’ federal sex trafficking trial brought revolting testimony from two explosive witnesses: Cassie Ventura’s mother, Regina Ventura, and male exotic dancer Sharay “The Punisher” Hayes. In this episode, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down every shocking detail — from allegations of physical abuse and sex tape threats… to bizarre, graphic descriptions of Diddy watching from the shadows wearing a Muslim-style veil during orchestrated sex acts.

He was the king of Bad Boy Records: a billionaire mogul, a Grammy winner, and the face of luxury in hip-hop. Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing a slew of federal charges in New York, accused of running a criminal enterprise for over two decades. Sean "Diddy" Combs has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Hey everybody, I am Ashley Bannfield and this is Drop Dead Serious.

0:09.0

It was day seven of the federal sex trafficking trial against Sean Diddy Combs and what was revealed in that courtroom today was totally unhinged and absolutely devastating if your name is

0:22.9

Sean Puffy Combs and if you're facing life in prison then again another witness said a few

0:28.9

things that seemed to really line up with Diddy's version of this trial that the

0:33.8

kinky stuff that he did and those hotel freakoffs was totally consensual and wasn't coerced.

0:40.1

So I felt a big yin-yang today.

0:43.3

Felt a little like a tug-of-war at times with the witnesses.

0:46.6

And we are in the prosecution's case.

0:48.9

So the only tug-of-war we should be feeling is when the defense does cross.

0:53.4

But I felt the tug of war during some of the

0:55.8

direct. So we also heard today from Cassie Ventura's mom, who delivered a body blow to Diddy.

We heard from a male exotic dancer named The Punisher, who says he was hired by Cassie and Diddy,

and with whom I had an exclusive interview, so stay tuned for my conversation with the Punisher about everything he did and saw in those hotel encounters with Cassie and Diddy.

1:22.5

Because I'll be honest, I really thought his testimony supported Diddy's argument, that this freaky activity

1:28.5

was all between consenting adults. So really interesting witness in the courtroom and super

1:36.3

interesting when I talked to him. Like I said, that's coming in just a second. We also heard from

1:40.5

a Homeland Security agent who raided Diddy's mansion and found all sorts of supplies

1:45.9

for the many freakoffs. And we also heard from Diddy's former personal assistant who was back for a

1:52.3

second day on the stand revealing everything from secret hotel setups stocked with baby oil

1:58.1

to ecstasy pills with Barack Obama's face stamped on them.

2:02.6

We're not going to waste any time because what was said in that courtroom today was truly unbelievable,
