When Combs took her on a weekend in Miami, they had sex for the first time on a boat, Cassie said. They drank wine during the day and took ecstasy at night.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, she realised she was just one of Combs&#8217; many girlfriends. She knew he had a family and children. The couple tried to keep their relationship secret for several years.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;I was in love with him,&quot; Cassie said. &quot;It was my first real adult relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He called her &quot;baby girl&quot; while she called him &quot;Pop Pop&quot; &#8211; the same nickname she had used for her grandfather. He also called her CC, for Cassie Combs, a name she would never take on.<\/p>\n<p>Cassie said Combs rented her an apartment in Los Angeles only a few minutes&#8217; drive from his house. He often dropped by unannounced.<\/p>\n<p>Combs abused her &quot;too frequently,&quot; Cassie told the jury.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;If they were violent arguments, they would result in physical abuse,&quot; she said. &quot;Mash my head, knock me over, drag me, kick me.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>She described having busted lips, black eyes, and bruises all over her body.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http:\/\/bit.ly\/2lOHmNj<br \/>\n\u2022 Get breaking news and more stories at http:\/\/www.itv.com\/news<\/p>\n<p>Follows ITV News on TikTok https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@itvnews?lang=en<br \/>\nFollow ITV News on Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/itvnews\/<br \/>\nFollow ITV News on Facebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/itvnews\/<br \/>\nFollow ITV News on Twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/itvnews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The focus of the second day of Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs\u2019s criminal trial was the Government\u2019s star witness, singer Casandra Ventura, known as Cassie.
