Takeaways from Cassie Ventura’s cross-examination in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ trial

  • Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sex trafficking trial in a Manhattan courtroom includes the cross-examination of Cassie Ventura, the prosecution's star witness, in May 2025.
  • The trial arises from allegations that Combs abused Ventura during their nearly 11-year relationship and coerced her into drug-fueled sex parties called 'Freak Offs'.
  • Ventura testified that Combs raped her in 2018, physically abused her, forced her into hundreds of sexual encounters with male sex workers, and threatened to release degrading videos.
  • Ventura, who disclosed a $20 million settlement from a 2023 lawsuit and is in her third trimester, has endured multiple days of testimony as the court seeks to finish before childbirth.
  • Combs denies all charges, claiming jealousy and consensual acts, while prosecutors argue that he used his power to operate a criminal enterprise shielding long-term abuse.
