Cassie reportedly calls for a harsh sentence for Diddy, citing years of abuse and threats in a new emotional letter

Citing years of abuse, sexual coercion, and threats that left her traumatized and terrified of reprisals should he be released, singer Cassie Ventura has urged Judge Arun Subramanian to sentence Sean "Diddy" Combs to a harsh term in a letter.

Cassie characterized her 11-year connection with the music mogul as a cycle of "abuse, violence, and sex trafficking" in a three-page victim impact statement on September 29 that she filed with a New York court. She alleged that Diddy, 55, used drugs, threats, and intimidation to control her and coerce her into engaging in frequent sexual encounters with male escorts, which are referred to as "freak offs." According to the letter obtained by The Rolling Stone, she wrote:

“For four days in May, while nine months pregnant with my son, I testified in front of a packed courtroom about the most traumatic and horrifying chapter in my life.”

She went on to add:

“I testified that from age nineteen, Sean Combs used violence, threats, substances, and control over my career to trap me in over a decade of abuse. He groomed me into performing repeated sex acts with hired male sex workers during multi-day ‘freak offs,’ which occurred nearly weekly.”

Cassie made it clear that she was making the request not for herself but for the people that she loved. She stated that Diddy would threaten her:

“Refusing meant punishment—losing my car, my phone, or worse. He controlled every part of my livelihood and threatened to destroy my reputation by leaking sex tapes, a threat he repeated often.”

She added:

“When he believed I had wronged him or was not sufficiently responsive, he also threatened people around me and those close to me, including my family. I regularly worried that displeasing him meant putting my family and friends’ safety at risk.”

Details of the alleged abuse

In her letter, Cassie detailed her horrific experience, claiming that she was "like a puppet," made to wear lingerie, and given drugs and alcohol. She also claimed to have suffered from physical wounds, infections, and emotional exhaustion:

“Over the nearly eleven years we were together, Sean Combs would hit me, punch me, stomp on my face, pull my hair, and throw my body to the ground and against the wall. The jury saw pictures of bruises on my back from Combs kicking me and saw the deep gash over my eye he caused when he slammed me into a bed frame.”

She continued by bringing up the 2016 attack at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles, which was captured on security footage and was leaked later:

“The entire courtroom watched actual footage of Combs kicking and beating me as I tried to run away from a freak-off in 2016. People watched this footage dozens of times, seeing my body thrown to the ground, my hands over my head, curled into a fetal position to shield me from the worst blows.”

Trauma and fears

Years after ending the relationship, Cassie testified in court that she continues to have "nightmares and flashbacks on a regular, everyday basis, and continues to require psychological care to cope with my past."

She expressed her fear that if he were allowed to walk free, he and his associates would get their revenge on her or the other people who raised concerns about his abuse.

She disclosed that to protect herself, she has relocated her family outside of New York and leads a life "as private and quiet as I possibly can." She said that even after treatment and advancements in her recovery, she still fears what Diddy "is capable of."

Cassie's parents have also submitted a letter to the court, in which they wrote:

“To sentence lightly in this case that involved such vicious abuses of our daughters’ body, safety and dignity is to dismiss her very existence.”

It continued:

“To sentence lightly would also send a dangerous message. A sentence that is handed down in months instead of years, sends a message that such repulsive behavior can happen without meaningful consequence.”

Cassie demands responsibility

Cassie demanded responsibility, but Diddy's legal team had asked for a reduced sentence last week. His attorneys stated in their submission that, in light of the guilty counts, a 14-month jail sentence with supervised release and therapy was a fair sentencing.

However, claiming that Combs oversaw a criminal operation focused on sex trafficking and abuse, the prosecution has requested at least 11 years and three months in jail.

Defense lawyer Mark Agnifilo told jurors during Diddy's trial, acknowledging that domestic abuse did occur:

“In terms of owning, just as a matter of personal responsibility … owning the domestic violence, we own it. It happened.”

He added:

“If he was charged with domestic violence, we wouldn’t all be here having a trial, because he would have pled guilty — because he did that.”

The sentencing will take place on October 3, 2025, and Judge Subramanian will decide after Cassie described Diddy as “the manipulator, the aggressor, the abuser, the trafficker” in her letter.
