Sharay Hayes' testimony at the Diddy trial explored
According to People, on May 20, 2025, Sharay Hayes, a male exotic dancer who goes by “The Punisher,” alleged that he was paid to perform at private events for Combs and his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura.
Hayes testified that he was hired in the fall of 2012 to perform a “sexy scene” for Diddy and Ventura at their Trump Tower suite. He claimed Ventura answered the door without any clothes other than a bathrobe and a wig, and presented him with a sack of $800 in cash.
She told him to rub baby oil on her while paying no attention to Combs, who was seated nearby, completely naked save for a veil covering his face. Hayes told the court:
“She said do not acknowledge her husband, try not to look at him, and no communication.”
As per ABC News, he described the room as dimly lit, with furniture covered with sheets, and bowls of baby oil positioned in strategic spots for the performance. Hayes said that Combs would sometimes m*sturbate while watching, but didn't say anything, except provide “subtle directions” to Ventura.
Afterward, Hayes said he rejected an offer to “finish” and opted to keep things “professional.” He received another $1,200 upon departure. He stated he was hired for such sessions at least a dozen more times, fetching between $1,200 and $2,000 per session.
Hayes’ testimony matches accounts from Ventura, who said that she was manipulated into attending Diddy's alleged “freak-offs”- drug-laden sex parties. She claimed to be compelled to perform with strangers while Combs filmed.
According to Ventura, these actions left her feeling “nervousness and confusion,” and that Combs was in possession of the footage to use as “blackmail material" to prevent her from speaking out.
Combs’ attorneys have fought back, arguing that Hayes’ account conflicts with the sex trafficking claims because it depicts Ventura as a consensual individual in the activity.
Under cross-examination by defense lawyers, Hayes pointed out that he never saw any signs of distress on Ventura’s part, suggesting she was a willing participant.
However, prosecutors argued that Ventura’s cooperation was a way for her to survive, and pointed to her earlier testimony that Combs was violent and manipulated her psychologically.
Other witnesses, such as former employees and friends, have corroborated her allegations and provided descriptions of encounters where Combs allegedly assaulted her in public and private settings.
According to ABC News, the trial against Sean "Diddy" Combs is scheduled to resume on Tuesday, May 27, 2025.
