Sharay “The Punisher” Hayes, an exotic dancer, claims that when Sean Diddy Combs first recruited to perform a sensual scene for him and then girlfriend Cassie Ventura, he failed to identify the music tycoon since he was naked but donned a “Muslim women wear” to cover his face.

According to Hayes, 51, he was recruited in the fall of 2012 by a woman operating by the name Janet, who instructed him to come to Trump Tower for what he believed to be a performance of striptease for a group of women.

However, Ventura was the only one to welcome him at the door, explaining that they would be making a "sexy scene" with baby oil and that he should avoid staring at her husband when he arrived to watch. Hayes further stated that Ventura gave him $800.

Hayes gives bombshell details about Diddy freakouts

In an envious frenzy over Cassie Ventura's relationship with musician Kid Cudi, Diddy sought $20,000 from her and threatened to expose obscene "freak-off" recordings of her, according to testimony presented on Tuesday.

The information was made public when Regina Ventura, Ventura's mother, testified in federal court in Manhattan and described how she and her husband obtained a home equity loan to cover the exorbitant demand from the "All About the Benjamins" singer.
