Remember this story from 2018? An armed man shot up the lobby of the Trump National Doral Hotel in Miami (see update), forcing a temporary evacuation while the perp dragged around an American flag. One police subdued him, Jonathan Oddi went off on weird rants during his police interrogation, claiming to have been part of a sex-trafficking ring run by Sean "P. Diddy" Combs and other rappers, while also spewing some nonsensical claims about Barack Obama and Donald Trump as well. Police at the time figured Oddi was in a manic-psychotic state after having stopped taking meds.
Well, back that train up the track a bit. Testimony yesterday in Combs' sex-trafficking trial confirmed Oddi's claims in that 2018 police interrogation, at least according to the prosecution's star witness, Cassie Ventura. Oddi did take part in the "freak-offs" run by Combs, according to Ventura, and had been close to the inner circle around Diddy until his arrest:
Jonathan Oddi was busted in 2018 after he was caught on camera carrying an American flag and raving about President Trump as he barged into the lobby of his golf resort.
After his arrest, he claimed he had been kept as a “sex slave” by Combs, video from his interview with police showed.
Oddi was one of 13 male escorts Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, identified in Manhattan federal court Wednesday as sex workers hired for “freak-offs” — bringing the total for the trial to 16.
