Diddy Was SO ‘Angry’ About Cassie’s Fling With Kid Cudi He Made Her Parents Pay Him $20K!

No wonder Cassie wanted to protect her mother from Diddy… Because he had no mercy with her, either!

On Tuesday, the Me & U singer’s mom actually took the stand during Diddy’s trial to tell a shocking tale about the financial situation she was driven into by the disgraced rapper. Regina Ventura testified that after the Bad Boy Records founder discovered Cassie’s relationship with rapper Kid Cudi in 2011, he demanded demanded satisfaction from… her parents.

Regina testified Combs demanded $20,000 from her and Cassie’s father Rodrick Ventura because he was so “angry.” According to multiple outlets, she claimed:

“It was understood that he was going to need $20,000 to recoup money he had spent on her because he had been angry that she had had a relationship with Scott Mescudi. He was angry that he had spent money on her and she had been with another person.”

WHA??? Why would any parent give their daughter’s ex money? Easy. They were afraid. The concerned mother told the court she was “scared for my daughter’s safety.” So in a desperate attempt to fulfill the embattled rapper’s request, Rodrick took out a home equity loan to be able to pay up.

That is just SO f**ked up. These people had to take equity out of their home to pay a MULTIMILLIONAIRE because he was mad at their daughter.

During Week 1 of Diddy’s trial, Cassie testified that after he found out about her romance with Cudi, he “lunged” at her with a corkscrew in hand and threatened to release “freak-off” footage of her. And when she attempted to leave his home, she claimed he kicked her so hard in the back she fell to the floor and developed a bruise.

She ended up telling her mother about the predicament before traveling back home to Connecticut to spend the holidays with family, and that’s when Regina took photos of the bruises on Cassie’s back which were shown in court. On that, Regina testified she ”wanted to make sure we memorialized” the abuse her daughter suffered.

Last week, Cassie also testified she hid most of the abuse from her mother out of fear of “Sean’s capabilities, his access to guns, the threats he made prior to that.” She added:

“I didn’t tell my mom the truth because I was ashamed. I also didn’t want to put my mother in danger for knowing anything of that magnitude.”

So incredibly upsetting. What are your reactions to this latest testimony?
