This week, Sharay Hayes, an exotic dancer known by the stage name “The Punisher,” took the witness stand to share his experiences with Sean “Diddy” Combs and the rapper’s former girlfriend, Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura. Hayes provided a detailed account of his interactions with the celebrity couple, shedding light on the peculiar circumstances surrounding their encounters.
During his testimony on Tuesday, Hayes recounted his initial hiring by the celebrity pair, where he primarily performed stripteases. However, things took an unexpected turn when he arrived at the Trump International Hotel in New York. He found Ventura alone, dressed in a bathrobe and wearing a wig, who expressed her desire to create a sexual and erotic scene for her husband using baby oil.
As Hayes complied with Ventura’s request, Sean Combs eventually entered the room to observe the proceedings. Hayes noted that Combs was disguised, wearing an outfit reminiscent of an Islamic head covering that concealed his head while only his eyes were visible. He testified that he was instructed not to acknowledge Combs during the encounter.
As the sessions progressed, Hayes reported that Combs began issuing directives on how he and Ventura should perform. However, after several of these encounters, Hayes began experiencing performance issues. He tried various medications, including Cialis, Viagra, and a “corner-store pill,” but none proved effective in alleviating his difficulties.
Hayes later realized that his struggles with erectile dysfunction stemmed from anxiety induced by Combs’ presence and instructions. He stated, “Me, personally, a sexual scenario with a woman’s partner present actively giving directions was not the norm for me, so it created some discomfort that could affect my performance.” Ultimately, after failing to maintain erections, Hayes was informed that he would no longer be invited back for the sexual encounters.
The allegations against Sean Combs include serious charges of sexual abuse, physical abuse, bribery, and drug offenses, initially brought to light by his ex-girlfriend Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura in a lawsuit. Among the most alarming accusations are claims regarding the so-called “freak off” sex parties, in which Ventura alleges she was drugged and coerced into performing sexual acts with male sex workers at Combs’ discretion.
Ventura’s lawsuit indicates that she was compelled to scout and hire these workers personally. Furthermore, Combs is accused of utilizing video footage to blackmail Ventura into compliance. Notably, the lawsuit was settled just one day after it was filed.
Currently, Combs faces multiple charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and engaging in interstate transportation for prostitution. His indictment references three anonymous victims alongside Ventura, and he has pleaded not guilty to all charges. Bail has been denied in this ongoing legal battle.
As the situation develops, the implications of these allegations continue to resonate within the entertainment industry and beyond.
