More context and details:
Cassie Ventura confirmed that she was with Diddy for 11 years despite his flaws because she believed he truly loved her.

“So when he cheated on you, it really hurt?” Estevao asked.

“I would say not every time,” Ventura said, adding that she spent more time feeling hurt in the early stages of their relationship.

More context and detail:

Cassie Ventura testified that she fell in love with Sean “Diddy” Combs’ “real personality.”

Defense attorney Anna Estevao had asked Ventura what made her fall in love with Combs, prompting Ventura to say that she hadn’t “thought about it in a while.”

“The beginning of the relationship was really — we spoke about it already — it was really fast, fast-paced, scary but the more time I spent with him and got to know him, his real personality — at least what I thought was his real personality — and I liked what it was,” she explained.

When asked what about his personality she liked, Ventura said, in the beginning of their relationship, he was “very sweet” and “attentive.”

Ventura also described Combs as having “a charismatic big personality that everyone really loved.”

More context and detail:

Defense attorney Anna Estevao asked Cassie Ventura a series of questions about how she had earned Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trust and about how she wanted to make him happy.

“And to make him happy, you told him that you wanted to do ‘Freak Offs?’” Estevao asked, referring to the d***-fueled s***performances Combs arranged.

“There’s a lot more to that,” Ventura responded.

Combs' Estevao: He said, I want to see - how did you reply?
Ventura: "I can't wait either."
Estevao: You wrote, "I feel like I want to f*ck," right?
Ventura: That's what it says.
Estevao: Mr. Combs says, I'm so h**** I can't concentrate - what do you say?

Ventura: That I'll go to Duane Reade for candles and then set up the room.
Combs' Estevao: Did you understand that he was going to take another video of you?
AUSA: Objection! Speculation!

Combs' Estevao: What pills were you taking then?
Ventura: Opiates.
Estevao: You deleted videos on your devices, right?
Ventura: Yes.
Estevao: What did you write?

Combs' Estevao: Were you afraid that Mr. Combs was only seeing you for s***in this way?
Ventura: That was a concern.

Ventura: Correct.
Estevao: Were freak offs important?
