Jurors in Sean Diddy Combs’ explosive sex trafficking trial were visibly shaken as graphic video clips from his infamous “Freak Off” parties were played in court. With prosecutors nearing the end of their case, the footage filled with disturbing scenes and audio left many of the jurors sickened.
Monday was a challenging day for jurors of the Sean Diddy Combs trial. Earlier today they were shown three separate clips, each between 20 and 30 seconds long. The explicit videos, reportedly from October 2012, are allegedly from parties organized by Combs’ former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. These were no ordinary Hollywood gatherings.
Radar Online reports that to maintain privacy in the courtroom, jurors watched the shocking videos using headphones and individual laptop screens. However, the privacy didn’t prevent their noticeable and uncomfortable reactions. Many jurors reportedly squirmed in their seats, clutched their heads, and appeared deeply uncomfortable throughout the viewing. Their discomfort was amplified by audio filled with “groaning” and suggestive sounds, which prosecutors argued reflected the nature of Combs’ secret world.
In addition to the footage, the jury was presented with a string of text messages from Ventura to various male escorts. In these messages, she gave instructions for their participation in upcoming “Freak Offs.” Further detailing how coordinated and deliberate these parties allegedly were.
The trial wrapped up on Monday with many jurors allegedly sickened by the video clips. Many speculate that the disturbing images, sounds, and list of bizarre Sean Diddy Combs’ party supplies will live in their minds long after the case is over
