Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly demanded $20,000 from Cassie Ventura, threatening to release the “Frak-Off” video after becoming upset about her new relationship with Kid Cudi.
This information emerged during her and her husband’s testimony about their home equity loans, which they utilized to meet Combs’ financial demands upon learning about Cassie’s date with Kid Cudi, whose real name is Scott Mescudi.
“I was really worried about my daughter’s safety,” Regina Ventura told the court.
In December 2011, Cassie went to her parents’ home in Connecticut, where her mother documented bruises on her back and thighs, alleged injuries from Combs.
Cassie also communicated via email with her mother and Combs’ assistant, expressing that she felt threatened by the potential release of “Two Explicit Sex Tapes Me” on December 23, 2011.
Regina recalls feeling physically ill after reading that email, stating, “The sex tape threw me. I didn’t know anyone else, but I knew he was going to try and hurt my daughter.”
Ultimately, her mother transferred money to the account associated with Bad Boy Records, but the funds were returned within four or five days, although the reasons for this remain unclear.
