Sean «Diddy» Diddy’s trial intensified on Monday afternoon when Daniel Phillip, a 41 -year -old male escort, was called to the witness post.
In an extremely graphic testimony that lasted approximately one hour, Phillip was interrogated by the main prosecutor Maurene Comey about her sexual encounters with Combs and her then Bride Casandra «Cassie» Ventura from 2012 to 2014. According to Phillip, he was paid between $ 700 and $ 6,000 on several occasions to have sex with Ventura, as Comong watched and masturbated. On more than one occasion, he witnessed combs physically abusing ventura, and in one case, they gave him the MDMA drug.
Phillip was first taken to the orbit of combs when he worked as a manager of a male magazine show in Manhattan around 2012. One night, his boss asked if he could go to Gramercy Park Hotel for a bachelorette party because none of his dancers was available. Phillip believed he would arrive at the hotel and make a strip’s mockery for a group of women. Instead, Ventura opened the door to her hotel room and asked if she was well committed to her. (Ventura, who is expected to testify against combs at the end of this week, accused the combs of feeding his drugs and forcing her to participate in sexual acts with male escorts. He also accused him of physically assaulting her).
As Phillip remembers it, Ventura wore lingerie, high heels and sunglasses, and she told her that it was her birthday and her husband organized a special gift for her. He immediately delivered a few thousand dollars. Comink was also in the room. Ventura asked Phillip to rub baby oil and massage her, and assured him that combs was «no gay» and that he wouldn’t touch him.
Phillip did not immediately recognize the combs, since he was dressed in a white coat with a handkerchief that covered the face of the nose down. When Phillip and Ventura touched and finally they began to have sex, Comink sat in a chair in the corner of the hotel room that masturbates. At one point, Phillip realized who the man was when Com LaS spoke, and recognized his voice.
After a short time, Ventura gave Phillip a thousands of dollars in cash and sent him on his way. She took her phone number. A few minutes after he left the hotel, Phillip received a text message from Ventura asking him to send a photo of his penis and return to the room. It was forced, and during other hours baby oil were rubbed to each other and had sex as masturbating.
Phillip would continue to participate in sexual relations with Ventura and combs, in Manhattan hotels and in each of his private residences in the city. Sometimes, Phillip sent vulgar text messages from Ventura, such as «I want to fuck you right now,» sometimes he sent her text messages to ask if she was «good.» He cannot remember that Ventura has responded to these texts.
Phillip said that every time he met with Ventura and the combs, there were candles and bottles of baby oil and astroglide lubricant on the table. On one occasion, Comps directed Phillip and Ventura through a role -playing game. «We weren’t very good at that at all,» said Phillip.
The combs often told Phillip and Ventura to rub more baby oil to each other, and he would instruct Phillip where and when he would ejaculate. «I was always sitting in the corner masturbating,» Phillip said about combs, although he added that sometimes combs changed place with him to have sex with Ventura. On one occasion, Ventura asked her to urinate on her. They rarely used condoms.
Phillip said these meetings would last from one to 10 hours. After he had sex with Ventura, she would go to the bedroom with combs and leave Phillip waiting outside on a sofa for hours. Sometimes they came back and told him to leave, and other times they brought him back to the bedroom for another round of sexual relations.
Phillip said Com Coms recorded it on video having sex with ventura once or twice, on a cell phone and a camcorder. Once, Phillip «pretended to run» after combs instructed Ejacular «within Ventura.» After combs brought Ventura to the bedroom, he repeatedly questioned Phillip if he was «sure» that ended.
His interactions became more intense after Comps took a photograph of Phillip’s driver’s license and said it was «only for insurance, just in case.» «I understood that it was threatening me,» Phillip said while combs’ lawyer Donaldson, shouted «objection» repeatedly. Many of his objections were annulled by the judge, but Phillip sometimes restarted when he began to speculate.
In one case, combs allegedly offered Phillip Mdma, or «Molly», which made Phillip feel «physically ill» and «nauseous» but also «euphoric.» Phillip left that night with a bundle of cash and, even under the influence, began to wander around the city. «I entered the middle of Times Square and delivered every dollar that gave me,» Phillip said.
He did not care about the money that Ventura and combs gave him, saying that it was «exciting» being close to famous people: «I never asked for a single dollar.»
At one point, Phillip said he began to witness peines physically abusing Ventura. Once, he saw the combs throw a glass bottle in the direction of Ventura, then hit and drag it through her hair in another room. «She was screaming, and he took her to the room,» said Phillip. «I could hear what it sounded like slapping. I was shouting: ‘I’m sorry! Sorry!'» Said Phillip, combs told Ventura, «Bitch, when I tell you you come, you come now. Not later.»
«I was surprised. He came out of nowhere. I was terrified. I didn’t know what to do,» Phillip said. When asked why he did not intervene or called the police, he said: «In my mind … if I tried to do something, I could lose my life.» He added: «My thoughts were, (combs) was someone with unlimited power … my life was at risk.» Phillip said combs would try to resume sexual activities directly after alleged domestic violence.
After starting to witness the abuse, Phillip had difficulty «staying hard» in the presence of combs. Once or twice, combs gave him cialis, which deals with erectile dysfunction. Phillip said that sometimes he could not act sexually, sometimes he was not paid.
Phillip detailed another incident at the Jumeirah Essex House hotel, where he listened to shouts and slapped the noises from behind the bedroom doors. Then, combs unoccupied the hotel, leaving Phillip only with Ventura. According to Phillip, Ventura jumped in her lap and began to cry and kiss him, what she had not done during her previous meetings. Phillip asked Ventura why he was staying in an abusive relationship, and insisted that he was fine. The two began to have sex, and Phillip had no problem acting. While they had sex, they noticed that the combs returned to the room to look.
Once, in the house of Ventura, Comink had invited another male sex worker, who ended up receiving a verbal altercation with combs after he accused him of looking at him during a trio.
Phillip was never paid for sex before meeting Comong and Ventura, and he has not been paid for sex since his last meeting, at some point at the end of 2013 or early 2014. When asked why he continued to meet with combs and Ventura, he told the court that he considered a friend and wanted to «verify» in her. In addition, he feared that if he aggravated combs, he could be in danger.
The combs trial began seriously this week when the jury swore and the opening statements were delivered on Monday morning. Federal prosecutors are aimed at portraying combs, who is in trial for sex trafficking and extortion, as a powerful businessman who used his fame and power to violate, assault and abuse people. Combs says that all sexual activities referred to in the accusation were consensual, since its defense lawyers seek to paint it as a defective man who was sometimes violent, but innocent of federal positions.
On Monday, prosecutors also brought to the stand a security guard who witnessed the alleged assault from Combs to Ventura at the Intercontinental Hotel. A video of the incident has advanced in the trial, since CNN published surveillance images in May 2024. Variants of that footage for the jury were played as evidence.
