“I Got $4k To Rυb Baby Oil On Her & Diddy Watched In A Corner”- Male Worker Testifies In Combs Trial | HO

In a packed federal courtroom in New York City, testimony from a male dancer has become a focal point in the ongoing trial against music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. The courtroom, chilled by overzealous air conditioning and thick with tension, has become the stage for a series of shocking revelations—none more so than the account of a man who says he was paid thousands of dollars to perform intimate acts with Cassie Ventura while Combs watched from a corner.

Setting the Scene

No cameras are allowed in the courtroom, leaving the public to rely on the observations of reporters and artists’ sketches. The defense team rotates seats, the judge presides with the stern patience of a disappointed father, and Diddy himself—clad in his now-familiar “old man in church” attire—sits stoically, his demeanor evolving as the trial grows more intense.

Amid this atmosphere, the testimony of the second major witness—dubbed online as the “male escort”—has electrified the proceedings. His presence is commanding: muscular, confident, and, as he walks to the stand, noticeably uneasy. He hunches over, barely visible above the computer screen on the witness stand, his directness and candor leaving a strong impression on the jury and observers alike.

A Night at the Gramercy Park Hotel

The witness recounted how, in 2012 or 2013, he was called by his boss to fill in for a bachelorette party in New York City. The company he worked for specialized in providing dancers for private events, and the request was for a Black dancer—he was the only one available. Lacking a police uniform as requested, he bought an NYPD t-shirt and headed to the Gramercy Park Hotel.

Upon arrival after midnight, he expected a lively group of women. Instead, he found Cassie Ventura alone, dressed in red lingerie, a wig, high heels, and sunglasses. She explained it was her birthday, and her husband wanted to do something special. She asked if he would mind rubbing baby oil on her and giving her a massage, with the possibility of more if he felt comfortable.

The hotel suite was dimly lit with candles and scattered with bottles of baby oil and Astroglide. In the back of the room sat a man in a white robe, a bandana covering his face, and a baseball cap—Sean Combs, though the witness didn’t immediately recognize him.

Cassie reassured him that her husband wasn’t gay and wouldn’t touch him. She handed him several thousand dollars up front, far more than the expected $200. Only after a brief conversation—during which Combs vaguely claimed to work in “importing and exporting”—did the witness realize who he was dealing with.

The Encounters

The witness described how he and Cassie began rubbing baby oil on each other and soon engaged in sexual acts, all while Combs sat in the corner, watching and pleasuring himself. Afterward, Cassie paid him more money and asked for his phone number. Minutes after he left, Cassie texted him, asking for a photo of his genitals, and then invited him back upstairs for another encounter.

This pattern repeated over multiple meetings in various hotels. Each time, the witness said, the rooms were dark, the curtains drawn, and the tables covered with candles and bottles of lubricant. Sometimes, he was asked to fetch more supplies from a pharmacy. The instructions were clear: Cassie and the witness were to rub baby oil on each other, act out sexual scenarios, and follow directions from Combs, who orchestrated the encounters from the sidelines.

“He would tell us things like, ‘Slow down, stop, separate, it’s getting too hot,’” the witness testified. “He’d tell us not to finish yet, to wait, or to finish in a specific way or place.” The witness emphasized that Combs never directly participated in the acts with him but always watched, sometimes recording the sessions with a phone or camcorder.

A Disturbing Pattern

The witness’s testimony became even more harrowing as he described incidents of alleged abuse. He recalled one occasion when Cassie appeared passed out on a couch, prompting Combs to tell the witness the encounter “wasn’t going to happen today.” On another occasion, Combs offered him Molly (MDMA), which left him feeling euphoric and reckless.

But the most disturbing moments involved violence. The witness described seeing Combs throw a liquor bottle at Cassie, drag her by the hair into a bedroom, and hearing sounds of slapping and screaming. “I was shocked. I didn’t know what to do. I thought if I intervened, I might lose my life,” he said, citing Combs’s perceived power and the presence of bodyguards.

After these incidents, the witness said he tried to check on Cassie, sending her messages—even vulgar ones—in hopes she would respond and he could confirm her safety. He also described developing erectile dysfunction after witnessing the violence, a detail that prosecutors highlighted to underscore the psychological toll of the situation.

Cross-Examination and Courtroom Dynamics

Defense attorney Xavier Donaldson’s cross-examination was marked by a barrage of questions, often punctuated by the word “correct.” Over two days, Donaldson reportedly used the term more than 200 times, attempting to challenge the witness’s credibility and suggest that Cassie was a willing participant who facilitated and enjoyed the encounters.

However, the strategy appeared to backfire. The witness remained assertive, often correcting the attorney and maintaining his version of events. At times, the questioning became confusing and repetitive, failing to shake the witness’s credibility in the eyes of many observers.

Throughout, Combs’s body language shifted from rigid stoicism to visible agitation, especially when the testimony turned to the details of the encounters and the violence. His daughters, all recently turned 18, left the courtroom during the most explicit testimony, a move that sparked debate online about the impact of the case on his family.

A Trial of Power, Abuse, and Consent

The male witness’s testimony has become a lightning rod in the Combs trial, painting a picture of orchestrated sexual encounters, manipulation, and abuse behind closed doors. He described being paid between $700 and $6,000 per session, always by Cassie, but insisted he never felt like a prostitute—he was simply swept up in the world of celebrities and their excesses.

As the trial moves forward, with Cassie herself set to testify next, the courtroom remains a crucible of conflicting narratives, emotional testimony, and high-stakes legal maneuvering. The male witness’s account—“I got $4,000 to rub baby oil on her, and Diddy watched in a corner”—is now etched into the public record, a stark reminder of the complex and often disturbing realities at the heart of the Combs trial.
