“It would make him more violent, would make him stronger, would make him want to push me stronger,” said Ventura about the efforts to resist the violent behavior of Combs during their decline.
Prosecutors alleged that Combs was using its wealth and control of a Entertainment empire To manipulate and force women, sometimes by physical violence, in participation in sexual parties fueled by drugs called “freak-offs”, then used videos of sexual encounters as blackmail.
