Exotic Dancer Reveals Diddy's Identity During Sex Trafficking Trial
In a shocking testimony, a male exotic dancer known as "The Punisher" recounts discovering Sean "Diddy" Combs' identity before an encounter, shedding light on the ongoing sex trafficking trial.
In a New York courtroom, male exotic dancer Sharay Hayes, nicknamed "The Punisher," detailed how he unearthed Sean "Diddy" Combs' identity during his recent testimony in a high-profile sex trafficking trial. Hayes recounted turning on the television in the hotel suite before an engagement and being greeted with the message, "Welcome Sean Combs."
The dancer explained that he had been hired to rehearse "sexy, erotic scenes" with Combs' then-girlfriend, Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, in the presence of Combs, who remained partially hidden under a veil throughout their encounter. Initially, Hayes was instructed to refrain from acknowledging the man in the room, leaving him unaware of the true identity of his client until that moment in the suite.
The atmosphere described was highly charged, set in a luxurious Trump Tower hotel room with furniture draped in sheets and small bowls filled with baby oil scattered around. This testimony follows the court's prior hearing from Daniel Phillip, another individual who claimed he was paid to engage with Ventura while Combs observed.
Additional testimony on Tuesday included that of Regina Ventura, Cassie's mother, who presented an email dated December 23, 2011, that highlighted threats made against her daughter by Combs. The email suggested that Combs had threatened to release explicit tapes and indicated that he would "have someone hurt" Cassie while he was away.
Regina Ventura also provided visual evidence of her daughter's injuries, asserting that they resulted from physical abuse by Combs. She testified about financial coercion as well, revealing that they were forced to lend $20,000 to Combs, whom they feared would retaliate against Cassie.
The trial is projected to last several weeks, with Combs facing serious charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking. With life-altering consequences at stake, the defense has already begun pointing out discrepancies in previous testimonies while the court continues to explore the disturbing allegations surrounding the hip-hop mogul.
