Cassie FREAK-OFFS GAVE ME VERY PAINFUL UTIs
Cassie Ventura says there was a painful, physical side-effect from all the "freak-offs" Diddy had her doing with male escorts ... urinary tract infections.
The singer testified in court Wednesday she would take opiates after the freak-offs to numb herself from very painful UTIs.
Cassie told the jury the UTIs would give her a burning sensation, and she got them so often that antibacterial medication stopped working, and she needed more powerful pills ... and turned to opiates.
Diddy Trial Full Cassie Hotel Video Released 15 Minutes, Unedited
We're now seeing the full unedited 15-minute-long video of Sean "Diddy" Combs assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway in 2016, and it reveals the full story -- more than the CNN version showed -- of what went down between them that morning.
The video was released Tuesday night after the second day of testimony in Diddy's federal sex trafficking trial in NYC -- security video from the InterContinental Hotel in L.A.'s Century City on March 5, 2016, showing Diddy following Cassie out into the hallway, pushing her to the ground and kicking her.
The extended video shows different angles from what we've previously seen ... first, a hooded figure emerges into the frame in a hallway on the 6th floor -- it's Cassie -- then we see Diddy wrapped in a towel follow her, and a moment later he's got a bag in one hand, and with the other he's dragging Cassie by her hooded sweatshirt. We see a few other angles from different cameras, some of which we've previously seen.

The Menendez Brothers' day in court has arrived ... the convicted killers are attending a resentencing hearing Tuesday, and attorneys on both sides are making their cases with full-throated support from Erik and Lyle's family members in the courtroom.
Tamara Lucero Goodell is the brothers' cousin once removed -- she's the great niece of Erik and Lyle's deceased mother, Kitty -- and she took the stand in the Van Nuys, L.A. courtroom first. She talked about the shotgun murders of the brothers' parents in 1989 ... which occurred just three weeks before her 9th birthday.

UPDATE
1:50 PM PT -- Jillian Lauren Shriner appeared in court in Downtown L.A. later Tuesday and pled not guilty to both charges.
The wife of Weezer bassist Scott Shriner was hit with felony gun charges Tuesday ... but, she seems to have caught a break -- because she was facing a far more serious allegation.
Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman formally charged Jillian Lauren Shriner with felony discharge of a firearm with gross negligence, and felony assault with a semiautomatic firearm. Jillian was originally booked on suspicion of attempted murder of a peace officer in the April incident.
As we first reported ... Shriner was shot in the shoulder by police officers after allegedly pointing and firing at them on April 8 -- cops were searching her neighborhood for a suspect in an unrelated crime when she came out of her house with a pistol in her hand to investigate.
Cassie I Was Scared To Say No To Diddy Over Freak-Offs
UPDATE
9:26 AM PT -- Cassie testified the freak-offs "became a job."
She told the jury she had no time to do anything else but have a freak-off and then try to recover. She testified the longest freak-off lasted for four days.
The trial is now taking a break.
9:00 AM PT -- Cassie is testifying about her history with Diddy.
She says he kissed her in a bathroom during her 21st birthday party in 2007 in Las Vegas after she signed with his Bad Boy Records and then they started seeing each other more and more.
Cassie told the jury she would visit Diddy at the Trump Hotel in New York and she would feel nervous and excited when Diddy would invite her to hotels ... thinking they were going to talk about music. Instead, she says he introduced her to oral sex and she "didn't understand it."
She testified she visited Diddy in Miami and when asked what they did together, responded "sexual intercourse." She also told the jury Diddy gave her ecstasy on a boat.
Cassie testified she thought things with Diddy were monogamous, even though at the time he was publicly linked to Kim Porter ... and when asked how Diddy was treating her in the beginning, she said they "had fun."
Cassie Ventura just took the stand and squarely addressed both the beating video and her involvement in freak-offs.
She said the 2016 beating at the hands of Diddy occurred right on the heels of a freak-off. She has not addressed more about the beating ... rather, she began talking about the freak-offs.
Cassie said when the subject of a freak-off -- which she said was the hiring of an escort to have sex with her -- came up, she was "confused, nervous. I wanted to make him happy."

The two robbers had overpowered a concierge outside her hotel apartment. They tied Kim up and left her in her bathroom during a Paris Fashion Week visit in October 2016 ... then absconded with millions of dollars of loot, including a $4-million engagement ring given to her by her then-husband Kanye West.

Sean Penn Woody Allen's Innocent Until Proven Guilty!!!
Sean Penn’s openly skeptical of Dylan Farrow’s long-standing sexual assault allegations against her adoptive father Woody Allen -- in fact, he says he’d work with the controversial filmmaker again in a heartbeat if the project felt right.
The actor made it clear on "The Louis Theroux Podcast" that he's standing by Woody, who directed him back in 1999's "Sweet and Lowdown" -- explaining with allegations like these, you can never know 100% what really happened, and added they usually come from people he "wouldn’t trust with a dime."
Louis pushed back, asking if Penn was speaking generally, since in Woody’s case, the accusations came from Woody's estranged daughter Dylan and his journalist son Ronan Farrow. But Penn wasn’t having it, saying Louis called Ronan a "journalist," not him.
Diddy Trial Prosecutors Want Freak-Off Vid Played in Court When Cassie Testifies
One of Sean "Diddy" Combs' freak-off videos -- showing himself and Cassie Ventura -- will be played in court, despite the objections of Cassie's attorney.
Prosecutors and Diddy's attorneys went back and forth with Judge Arun Subramanian Tuesday morning about how the video would be played in court.
Cassie and Diddy's defense team don't want the audio or video getting out to the public, so prosecutors proposed it only be played for jurors, who will wear headphones. People seated in the gallery, including reporters, would not be able to see or hear the video.
Cassie Courtroom-Bound To Testify Against Diddy!!!
Cassie’s making her way to court today, about to testify in Diddy’s trial -- the first time they’ll lay eyes on each other since 2018.
The pregnant singer -- who's clearly ready to pop with baby No. 3 -- departed from an NYC residence and kept her face stoic, but she definitely came to slay -- rocking a power camel-colored coat, a brown turtleneck, shades, and boots as she strutted out to the car waiting for her.
Cassie was clearly all business and ready to take the witness stand today. Her attorney, Douglas Wigdor, made that crystal clear when we caught up with him Monday outside the Manhattan federal courthouse where Diddy’s trial is going down.
