Cassie Ventura cross-examination to continue

Combs’ defense team started questioning Ventura on Thursday about her off-and-on relationship with Combs that lasted nearly 11 years. 

Attorneys showed the jury many messages between the two, including some that were sexually explicit. Others were about Ventura helping Combs coordinate a “freak off.” 

They also asked Ventura about her drug use and pointed out how she often took drugs without Combs. 

It was Ventura’s third day on the witness stand, but first for cross examination.

There is no livestream available for the Sean “Diddy” Combs trial because cameras are not allowed in federal court. 

Sketch artists, however, are allowed. 

CBS News New York’s Alice Gainer has been covering the trial all week and will provide live updates on today’s testimony.

The jury has heard from three witnesses so far:

1. Israel Florez, a security guard at the hotel where Combs was caught on video beating Ventura.
2. Daniel Phillip, who told jurors he was paid to have sex with Ventura and did while Combs watched.
3. Ventura, who has levied allegations of rape and blackmail against Combs, testified about “freak offs,” and detailed more of her relationship with him.
