AFTERMATH OF THE DIDDY TRIAL — MALE ESCORT ACCUSES CASSIE OF GOING TOO FAR DURING “FREAK-OFFS”
The Diddy scandal just refuses to die down. Even after the music mogul’s high-profile trial wrapped up, new drama is erupting — and this time, Cassie is finding herself caught in the middle.
Media Take Out has learned that one of the men federal prosecutors identified as a “male escort” in Diddy’s criminal case is now stepping forward with wild new allegations — and he’s not just coming for Diddy. He’s coming for Cassie too.
The man, Clayton Howard, says he was one of several men who were allegedly brought in to take part in the infamous “freak-offs” — those drug-fueled sex parties that became a central focus of Diddy’s downfall. Howard, who says he went by the name “Dave” at the time, is now speaking out publicly about what he claims went on behind closed doors.
According to Howard, his encounters with Cassie were not only degrading but physically damaging. In a shocking statement, he said that Cassie once “broke his thing” during one of their encounters. “I want justice,” Howard told reporters. “I want Cassie to admit that she did the same thing to me, that Diddy did to her.”
Howard went on to describe what he called a disturbing dynamic between him and Cassie. “Diddy didn’t make her have sex,” he said. “But Cassie made me have sex. She used to make me stand there and [pleasure myself] until the point that the skin broke.” He added that the experience left him humiliated and in physical pain.
The shocking claim adds yet another layer of scandal to a saga that’s already rocked the entertainment world. Howard’s story paints a darker and more complicated picture of Cassie — one that goes far beyond her public image as Diddy’s former protégé and longtime girlfriend who later accused him of years of abuse.
During Diddy’s trial, federal prosecutors said that at least seven male escorts were transported across state lines for what they described as “sex work” connected to Diddy’s private parties. Howard was allegedly one of them, and his name appeared in investigative materials as one of several men paid through intermediaries and luxury service companies tied to Diddy’s team.
While much of the public narrative has focused on Cassie as a victim, Howard’s claims flip that story upside down. He insists that Cassie had power and control during their encounters — and that she used that power in ways that left lasting scars.
So far, neither Diddy’s camp nor Cassie’s team has responded publicly to Howard’s allegations. But sources close to both sides say they’re aware of the claims and expect things to “get uglier” before they get better.
It’s not the first time Cassie’s name has been drawn back into the headlines since Diddy’s trial. After she settled her own lawsuit against him last year — a case that accused Diddy of abuse, trafficking, and coercion — Cassie largely stayed out of the spotlight. But in the wake of the trial, former associates, witnesses, and now this male escort are coming forward with new and often conflicting stories about what went on inside Diddy’s secretive inner circle.
Those who worked around Diddy in recent years have described an atmosphere that was part Hollywood glamour, part underground chaos. Behind the glitz, there were whispers about the “freak-offs” — private events that reportedly involved both men and women being paid or pressured to take part in sex acts for Diddy’s amusement. Cassie, who had been by his side for years, was often described as being present at or involved in those events.
Howard’s account brings those whispers into sharper focus. What he describes is not just excess but humiliation — something that mirrors the kind of abuse Cassie once said she suffered under Diddy. Only now, the roles appear reversed.
“I want people to know the truth,” Howard said. “Everyone feels sorry for her, but she did things to me that were just as bad as what she accused Diddy of doing.”
Whether or not Howard’s claims ever make it to a courtroom, they’ve already ignited a fresh round of controversy for two people who had seemed to be closing this chapter of their lives. Cassie has tried to move forward quietly, and Diddy is still facing fallout from his criminal conviction and asset seizures. But with new accusations coming from one of the men once inside their inner circle, both may soon find themselves back in the headlines — for all the wrong reasons.
