Cassie Ventura testified that Sean “Diddy” Combs was very busy successfully running his companies and managing his career during their relationship. She testified that he remained busy even when they were having frequent “Freak Offs,” consuming lots of substances, and recovering from those events.

Ventura confirmed that she believed Combs was an addict, and defense attorney Anna Estevao asked what he was addicted to.

“Success,” Ventura responded.

Estevao went on to ask what substances Combs was addicted to.

“I think it varied over the years,” Ventura answered, adding that at one point he was addicted to opiates.

She confirmed that Combs was more irritable and angry when he was withdrawing from opiates. Ventura testified that she was also addicted to opiates for a period.

She said they took various drugs together, and that Combs’ drugs of choice were ecstasy and MDMA. She said she didn’t believe he was ever addicted to those drugs, and that they were “party drugs,” in contrast to opiates, which they took more regularly.
