According to Dearing, he felt like Ventura was thinking \u2018I’m here, I have to perform. Let’s do this.\u2019<\/p>\n \u2018It was more of a “doing this to please him” type of spirit overall,\u2019 Dearing said. \u2018I can tell when the energy was different.\u2019 He described Ventura as “playing her role”.<\/p>\n Dearing added: \u2018It was evil … and she was under that.\u2019<\/p>\n He went on to allege what he felt Ventura\u2019s place and purpose was within the freak-offs, and claimed she wasn\u2019t able to control the situation, calling it a \u2018beast\u2019.<\/p>\n \u2018In my opinion, in that situation, she didn’t know if this was a beast she could control or not anymore,’ he said. ‘So she was along for the ride, because she had to, because who knows? Who knows where this beast is going, and there’s no way to tame it.\u2019<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/06\/GettyImages-899868426.jpg” alt=”Cassie and Diddy” title_text=”Varsity Friday’s Presents Mr. Jones” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] This comes after Ventura was reduced to tears while testifying in court for Diddy\u2019s trial \u2013 which has now entered its fifth week \u2013 where he stands accused of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and has been jailed without bail.<\/p>\n Ventura has alleged that Diddy coerced her into participating in the \u2018freak-offs\u2019 \u2013 which have been described by prosecuting lawyers as \u2018elaborate and produced sex performances\u2019 \u2013 through threats of blackmail and physical violence. He denies these allegations.<\/p>\n Ventura alleged that she \u2018had to\u2019 do the \u2018freak-offs\u2019, despite explicitly stating on the stand that she did not want to do them.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Dearing alleges that he was first hired by Diddy around 10 years ago in late 2014 or early 2015 through elite male escort site Cowboys4Angels. He confirmed that he did not know Diddy\u2019s identity as a client beforehand.\u00a0<\/p>\n He claims he was booked for \u2018more than a dozen\u2019 sessions with Diddy and Ventura, which he says would take place in one of two LA locations, a bungalow at The Beverly Hills Hotel or a condo off Sunset Boulevard.<\/p>\n Dearing left escorting in 2017 and moved home to Hawaii, and alleges that he was approached again by Diddy who asked him to work, which he declined.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u2018I just kind of had to do a lot of personal soul searching, in a sense,\u2019 he explained. \u2018I stepped away from [the freak offs], realising it was darker. Because honestly, I do care about these ladies. So I had to step away.\u2019<\/p>\n Dearing says that he is on \u2018a different path these days\u2019, and that he \u2018never thought that [escorting] was part of my life plan\u2019. He describes being unfazed when it comes to what others think of him \u2013 he faces a certain amount of public scrutiny after his photo and alias was revealed by prosecutors in court.<\/p>\n \u2018The truth is, I don’t care what anyone says about me,\u2019 he said. \u2018If people would want to think negative thoughts about me, that’s on them.\u2019 Most importantly, Dearing\u2019s decision to go public with his allegations was to be an ally to Ventura, he says, noting that he wanted to lend \u2018some credence\u2019 to her testimony in court.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”] This week, a different ex-girlfriend of Diddy\u2019s testified under an alias (Jane) that she also took part in sex acts with male sex workers at his request. She described feeling more loved by him when she participated, but now feels regret at doing so as it felt like a \u2018cuckold\u2019 lifestyle.<\/p>\n She alleges that the sex acts were choreographed by Diddy and turned into marathons and often included drugs, and occurred weekly. Jane alleged that she was \u2018under a lot of emotional pressure\u2019 due to her desire to please Diddy and stay in a relationship with him.<\/p>\n \u2018I resent him for leading me into the lifestyle he led me to,\u2019 Jane said. \u2018I resented the way he went about introducing me to this lifestyle.\u2019<\/p>\n She testified in court that she began therapy three months ago, and went back on arrangements to meet with Diddy\u2019s lawyers. After starting therapy, Jane describes having reflected on the \u2018hotel nights\u2019 spent participating in these sex marathons, even though she only wanted to have sex with Diddy, but that the reasons were \u2018becoming more and more clear\u2019 as she continues with therapy.<\/p>\n She initially described feeling \u2018something very special\u2019 when it came to illicit sexual meetings with Diddy, and didn\u2019t want to judge him because she \u2018really wanted to just go along with these things because if I can be my partner\u2019s escapes then I would be\u2019.<\/p>\n Jane also alleged Diddy acts violently towards female sexual partners in order to fulfill his own desires in an earlier court testimony. Diddy denies all allegations against him.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#111111″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Photo: <\/b>Getty<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Shawn Dearing came forward to support Cassie Ventura\u2019s testimony against Diddy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":10830,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature","category-news"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"guestgrazia","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10825"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10825\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10833,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10825\/revisions\/10833"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10830"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}‘i had to do a lot of soul searching.’<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]
