Ventura testified that during a "Freak Off" in Los Angeles, Combs got word that his longtime rival, Death Row Records co-founder Suge Knight, was in the area.

Combs was alerted by one of his security guards, D-Roc, who said Knight was at a nearby diner, Ventura said.

“They quickly packed up and drove down there,” she testified. “I was crying, I was screaming, ‘Don’t do anything stupid.’ I just was really nervous for them, I didn’t know what it meant, what they were going to do."

Ventura testified that they all left in an SUV and that she was handed a gun to put in her purse.

She said she had the gun for at least an hour, while high on mushrooms, and was "terrified" the gun would go off.

“I had no idea why I had it in the first place,” Ventura said. “Always felt like it was a scare tactic.”

Knight is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence after he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2018.

Asked if he had taken anything else from her, she replied "my self confidence."

Ventura also testified that Combs tightly controlled her appearance — putting her on an exercise regimen in preparation for Freak Offs and insisting she keep her nails painted white with French tips.

Her look during Freak Offs was especially important to him, she testified. “Some days he would want me to be really sexy," she said, "and be his woman other days."

“He had many resources to do that,” Ventura said, referring to Combs' alleged ability to release the recordings.

The singer also spoke about her 21st birthday in Las Vegas, when she said Combs kissed her.

“I was really confused at the time, you know, new artist," she recalled. "I was pretty naive."

“I wanted to be around Sean for the same reasons as everyone else at the time," she said. "This exciting, entertaining, fun guy who also happened to have my career in his hands.”

Ventura, a key witness for the prosecution who was in a relationship with Combs for over a decade, took the stand Tuesday, May 13, visibly pregnant.

Speaking in a soft voice, Venutra described her relationship with the music mogul as one filled with control and emotional pressure.

Early on in the relationship, Ventura testified Combs introduced the idea of sexual voyeurism and noted that she was “naive” and a “total people-pleaser.”

Ventura was asked about "Freak Offs," a key piece of the indictment, and explained that theyinvolved hiring a male escort, “setting up this experience” and “performing.”

She further said the experiences left her feeling “nervousness and confusion.”

“Was Ventura the one who paid you?” Donaldson asked.

“Yes,” Phillip responded.

“She wasn’t drunk or high?," Donaldson asked, to which Phillip responded by agreeing she wasn't.

“Is it fair to say she was in complete control of everything she did?,” Donaldson asked.

"I cannot say that,” Phillipanswered.
