Ventura mentions, among other things, that she got "bruises all over my body".
He would hit my head, knock me down, drag me, kick me, and stamp on my head when I was lying down, she says.
She is one of the most important witnesses in the trial. Many reports against Combs came after Ventura went public with accusations against him.
Accused by over 120 people
The 55-year-old Combs is accused by over 120 people of, among other things, rape, sexual assault, sexual exploitation, assault, blackmail, and sex trafficking. According to the indictment, he allegedly committed these crimes during so-called "freak-offs" – parties with drugs and sexual activities – against both women and a couple of boys over a period of two decades.
Combs introduced "freak-offs" to Ventura during the first year of their relationship, and she claims that she did not know how to say no to them.
It got to a point where I felt I didn't have much choice, didn't really know what a 'no' could be or what a 'no' would lead to, she says, describing it as if it eventually became like a job for her.
Denies crimes
Ventura claims that she kept broken computers and phones out of fear that material that could be used for blackmail would become public, as she did not know what was on the devices. She also says that she was afraid that video material he had recorded of her having sex would be posted online.
Combs himself has denied the crimes but admitted to being violent during the incident that was caught on film in 2016, when he assaulted Ventura.
If Combs is convicted, he faces life imprisonment.
