The R&B singer, now 38 and heavily pregnant with baby number three with husband Alex Fine, recounted the turbulent and tumultuous decade she spent in a relationship with Sean "Diddy" Combs, the high-profile music mogul now facing serious allegations of sex trafficking.

During her emotional testimony, Ventura detailed years of alleged physical, emotional and sexual abuse, painting a portrait of a relationship marked by manipulation and control.

On day one on the stand, Ventura testified that Combs had a hand in nearly every aspect of her life, from her finances to her music career, and even her personal choices.

Her accusations included horrifying accounts of coercion, such as claims that Combs and others would direct her to perform degrading acts, including being urinated on and forced into humiliating situations involving baby oil.
