The "freak offs" at the center of Sean "Diddy" Combs' 2025 sex trafficking trial refer to elaborate, days-long, drug-fueled sex parties that Combs allegedly orchestrated and coerced women to participate in. These events involved choreographed sexual performances with multiple sex workers, heavy drug use, and extensive use of baby oil and lubricants. The parties sometimes lasted up to four days with breaks, during which women were allegedly forced or coerced to engage in sexual acts while Combs masturbated and recorded the encounters, sometimes without the women's knowledge
. Cassie Ventura, Combs' former longtime partner, testified that she was involved in these "freak offs" and described them as confusing and humiliating experiences that became like a job. She recounted being instructed to use large amounts of baby oil and to participate in degrading acts, including one incident where a male escort was told to urinate in her mouth. Ventura also testified that she felt unable to refuse participation due to fear of violence and that Combs used recordings of these events as blackmail
. Prosecutors allege that Combs and his associates managed logistics such as booking hotels, arranging travel for sex workers flown in from across the country, and providing supplies and IV fluids to help recover from the drug use during these marathon sex parties. The government charges include sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution, asserting that Combs used his business empire to facilitate these "freak offs"
. In summary, the "freak offs" were highly orchestrated, multi-day sex parties involving drug use, coercion, and exploitation, which form a central part of the criminal case against Sean "Diddy" Combs.
