6 key moments from Cassie Ventura’s full testimony during the Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs trial
Casandra Ventura, the former girlfriend of Sean “Diddy” Combs, testified this week in the music mogul’s sex trafficking trial in Manhattan, taking the witness stand for four straight days.
Ventura, a singer who goes by Cassie, answered questions from prosecutors and the defense about the physical and sexual abuse she says she suffered at the hands of Combs over the course of their 11-year relationship. She has said she was an unwilling participant in “freak offs,” which prosecutors have described as drug-fueled sexual encounters organized by Combs that often involved male escorts. The defense has admitted Combs was violent with Ventura at times. It alleges Ventura consented to participate in the sexual encounters.
