On the first day of Sean "Diddy" Combs' federal sex-trafficking trial, Daniel Phillip, a former male escort, testified that he was paid thousands of dollars to have sex with Diddy’s then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, while Combs watched. Phillip described multiple encounters between 2006 and 2007, saying he was hired on at least five occasions to perform sex acts with Ventura in upscale hotels. He stated that Combs directed the encounters and paid him in cash afterward. Phillip claimed he felt uncomfortable with the arrangement and eventually cut ties due to the psychological toll it took on him.
Phillip's testimony was part of the government’s effort to establish a pattern of sexual exploitation and control orchestrated by Combs. He described Combs as obsessive, noting that the music mogul often watched silently from a chair or a nearby room, sometimes instructing Ventura on what to do. The courtroom was reportedly silent as Phillip spoke in detail about the encounters. The defense has not yet cross-examined him but is expected to challenge his credibility in the coming days. Prosecutors are using his account to reinforce the narrative that Combs used wealth and influence to facilitate exploitative sexual scenarios as part of a broader trafficking operation.
